Much Ado About Something

What are you this way? What can I say I like me this way! What way do you like yourself? Thin or fat? Seriously?! This is a no-brainer dude! So…? Come on! You know the answer! Aha so thin it is. Yay! You won. What say we walk over to the desert counter my treat – your prize? Aha so plump it is then. No, what is it with you? I said I wanted thin didn’t I? Nope actually you didn’t. I just fathomed you did! Hmmm…Got jacked! What say we live and let live. Thin fat, short tall, rich poor, old young, boozer teetotaler, smoker non-smoker, sick healthy, smart not-so-smart… accept the now and try not to cling to the hardly ever. Bring it on and dialogue here with moi me lovelies if you would like to say something… X…O…

As I cozy up to 2011, I hope that the tide will turn eliminating recession bringing forth good health, peace and contentment, accompanied with happiness and bliss always to everyone the world over. As resolutions go I make them and by the second week of Jan they are out the door. So instead of working towards something rather time consuming and often strenuous, I’m just gonna go with the flow and based on this will embrace the good times and accept the bad ones. But here are a few that I’m gonna follow: • Bring sexy black/brown to the hair roots (one can live in hope!?) • Get the bank account laughing • Shed the flab super fast • Be good and careful - if not the former gonna stick with the latter for sure • Watch more news programs (seriously?) • Avoid negative influences and cling to the positive ones • Avoid calling the water, electricity and other departments with the hope that I just don’t need to Cheers to you me lovelies and I will let on during the course of the m...

I woke up a couple of weeks ago with my mind made up that it was time to take a break. A long overdue holiday is the need of the hour and with everyone pressing me to just ‘go ahead already’…. Plastic money check, suitcases check, good tariff check…. Strike a deal with the best travel agent and then I get a call from an old client. Urgent requirements! We have not been in touch for a longtime. However, when someone remembers you because of qualitative work…need I say more? After that I get calls from a couple of candidates who I have placed years ago – still at the same firms looking for a change. Senior and they would prefer that I handle their profiles – no shopping around. Preening with happiness I stay put connecting, networking, talking, texting, everything. I ask them “why me” and they respond “why not”. Well what can I say? Suitcases are shoved back, plastic looking sad, bank statement probably happy….. I am pleased as punch and doing my bit. Once again the jour...

So having watched a couple of episodes of KWK (Koffee with Karan), must say this season is turning out to be rather interesting. The one that I enjoyed was with Sonam and Deepika. That was candidness at its best – they said it like it is. Way to go ladies! However, the it couple (Saifeena) were a tad tanda in their responses but they do make a lovely couple. Though from the papers today guess the response from another star is gonna bring on the cat war. All over a little cuppa that they don’t even sip! Guess we (the viewers) need our fill of time-pass too what with crime stories doing the rounds across most of the channels. Got to catch the action in Big Boss house yesterday – man that Dolly is a character. Dunno if she was really ill or faking it. However, if she is sick hope she gets better coz being ill when your loved ones aren’t around is really scary. You must be wondering why I waste time on this reality stuff - what can I say but “time-pass yaar”! But when she was ousted...

Had a chat with the small one a couple of days ago about Santa. Apparently she’s moved on from this phase and has rationalized that he is a figment of imagination. However, wanting to keep this alive I ask her if he is fictitious how could she explain the gifts that he had given her in the past? “Yeah right! Those were the gifts that I asked Mama to give me and you know something, I even found my letters to Santa on her computer!” “But perhaps he left them behind for you to read as he already has a copy with him. Also in case you forgot what you wanted…” “You think I am stupid or something?” “No darling, how can I think that?” “Come on I know he doesn’t exist!” This went on for some time until I realized that I was getting nowhere. And she was winning the argument anyway! So I shift to the true meaning of Christmas. She listens to me with rapt attention not missing anything. Once I finish she says: “So why talk about Santa, when we know that Jesus is Christmas? Why s...

Two girls sitting on a wall and talking… “You know this exam thing is a real nuisance.” “Wish they do without the darn exercise once and for all.” In joins a third “But if we don’t get graded we fail to get noticed in class.” Fourth pips in “Look at that guy there, he looks so cute.” Exams are now a thing of the past. The new kid on the block is eye candy. “Ooooo he’s so cute!” “When did he join our school?” “Gosh I wish I can talk to him, but I’m really scared.” “No way, I’m gonna talk first.” “No me” “No way! Me” “Me.” “Me.” “Hi girls heard the noise what’s the problem?” Silence… “I’m Jerry and my family just moved over. Can I join you?” “Of course!” So he hops over and joins them. “Hey do you know Steve? Such a cutie.” They look at one another …. Another one bites the dust. When will this gay craze get over they sigh. So back to the old routine… “Algebra is so annoying. I just don’t get it.” “I loathe chemistry!” “History s...

Some spiel about the life of a single woman in a metro. “There are so many nice men around” and “Happy ever after does happen you know” is something that I keep hearing from my friends. They are bent out of shape (most are in shape really) to get me hitched. The mere thought of walking down the aisle and playing house is so darn frightening that all I want to do is run a mile. I have been trying to get them to back off but they want to have it their way. Their will power when it comes to talent is simply amazing! Whew and here I thought I had recruitment under my thumb (they sure give me a run for my money). I hear about the well heeled guy across the globe, happening single men, a well endowed (uh uh) man in our desi shores, a foreigner who wants to marry an Indian, an equal opportunity(?) partner, a romantic with kids after a messy divorce, a widower, the list is endless. I listen. I receive pictures. Some have written, called even and asked me out. But what can I say – I ha...
