Have you seen a stressed bride lately?

Do give her a slap and tell her to enjoy her wedding before it’s D-day.
No. Really. Do it. You might get a box in return, but by next year she will probably tell you how right you were and thank you for it. Well, not really. But it’s good to think positive. Works wonders for [...]

Mamma Mia! I got the ‘Giving Away’ Song.

What do you when you come across a movie that gives you a delightful glow all over and makes you grin from start to finish?
Well, you go right ahead and grin with complete and utter abandon and savor the warm buttery feeling. That’s what you do.
You enjoy it without a thought for anything else going [...]

Phyre takes Flight

June 2, 2009.
3:40pm IST.
As I pen this down, I am hurtling through a blue sky in a absolutely magical ride at around 940kms/hour. All I can see around me is a white haze. All I can see below me are fluffy white clouds. Clouds one could very well imagine to be goose down, whipped cream, [...]

A Night made for Sylvia Plath

Mad Girl’s Love Song:
“I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
I dreamed that you bewitched me [...]

The Bridal Gowns on my Mind

I had a crazy talk about my wedding gown with Mel today and his observations on my taste in bridal gowns were enlightening and perfect, to say the least. 
He thinks my wedding gown is to be a strapless and backless affair with yards of lace enveloping me. Dramatic is my cue and bold is my [...]

Something Old, Something New & a Bride less Confused

A long time ago, when weddings were magical things that simply happened to all the beautiful big girls in my family, I used to dream about my own.
I used to dream about the day when I would be that beautiful big girl getting married. I used to dream about wearing my mom’s wedding gown and [...]

Dedications, Words & Their Worth

Another wedding invite made its way to my doorstep today, and guess what? It really was just another wedding card.
Not many people get married in the summer out here, owing to the humidity and heat. Whenever someone does tie the knot during such an extreme part of the year, you would expect them to make [...]

The Perfect Proposal. Is there really such a thing?

Everyday as I pass by the under-refurbishment Spykar outlet near where I work, I can’t help but spend at least 5 seconds of my time staring at this utterly captivating advertisement: 

Yes, the models are painfully rangy and the style of proposal is completely not what most catlics would consider appropriate, but dang it! Does a [...]

I Need

  Not  

And Yes, it’s Just Another Valentine’s Day…

… where I shall begin the day with talks about Plan “W” with Melroy, spend the rest of the morning cleaning my once-red-now-yellow room, take the car out for a spin, meet Penny (one of the tailors I have shortlisted), pick up a bride’s maid gift for my cousin and finally end the day bringing [...]
