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 [...]

The One Ring.

10th June ‘09
11.48 pm Bahrain Time
Something unexpected happened today.
I found the One Ring.
In a little nondescript jewellery shop, tucked away untidily between a big jewellery shop and a bigger jewellery showroom. The shop was so tiny that I have already forgotten its name.
All I can remember is the little band of yellow gold with a [...]

Of Charming Teachers and Charming them…

6th June 2009
1.36pm (Bahrian time)
It’s an empty house I have come home to today. The sunlight is swishing in through the French windows this afternoon, unlike it’s angry barge a few days back.
For some reason, I am experiencing more fascinating things in the morning than in the evening out here in Bahrain.
This can be rather [...]

Nana, Goodbye.

3rd June 2009
4.30 pm
I have quite forgotten the feeling of holding a pen and actually using it to pen down the thoughts I think onto a lined page.
My diary, if it had a life, would be quite chuffed with all the attention I am lavishing on it.
While I wish I were sitting in a ramshackle [...]

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 [...]

Of Dreams & Roses

This has been a long hiatus from ‘Plan “W”‘ for me.
A few short weeks wherein I left behind an entire office, found a new group of friends, cherished my best friends all the more, met some interesting people, started off sparkling conversations with nearly everyone I met and most of all, started being *social* for [...]

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 [...]
