A wish and wishes
In a world, I’d love to live...when I wake up I’d like my customary glass of lime juice, honey and warm water ready, waiting to be sipped. The maid would ask me what I would want to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I’d have a variety to choose from. I’d have a wardrobe that would detect my mood and recommend me to wear clothes that would suit my mood for the day. I’d have a shoe closet full of Jimmy Choo’s. The weighing scale would never show me weighing above 52 kilos. My book would open at the exact page I was reading and I’d read a couple of pages before I went to sleep at night.
In the world that I live, J and I start a poke war every morning, at the stroke of 7:30 when the maid rings the doorbell. “Please, you open the door for her today, I swear I will wake up early the entire next week”, type of statements are exchanged, which of course, never see the light of the day. It’s a nightmare to think of what to cook for the meals. The weighing scale shows me what I weigh. No matter how many fruit diets I go on, the weight stays the same. I reach out to the first ironed T-shirt I see in the wardrobe, don a pair of jeans, and wear the sports shoes and dash out to work. I take the meal I cooked the previous night for my lunch. When I don’t, I head to the restaurant below my workplace for some oily, overcooked meals. I don’t have any bookmarks at home, so I memorise the page number before I keep the book down, and no matter how hard I try I can never recollect the page at which I had stopped reading, and I realised that I have been reading the same page for the past 2 days, and just that one page, because I am ready to sleep after reading that one page.
This is life. And I hope that someday I will live in the world that I would love to be.

I’ve written about her earlier, and wouldn’t mind doing it again. She is definitely one my very favourite people. We can discuss movies, people, books, useless stuff, and very useless stuff. Here is wishing
crabbycool a very happy birthday. I wish you a fantastic day and an equally fantastic year ahead! I miss the days of Bottles and Chimneys. I truly do.

Yesterday I saw a rainbow after years. I was thrilled to bits when I saw it. Clicked two pictures. At times like this I wish I owned an SLR. My wait is a month and a half away. Nikon D 40X is on the agenda when I travel to Malaysia next month.

I finally have some time to myself starting tomorrow. I am making a list of movies that I want to watch. I watched Yojimbo last night, and I am in total awe of Akira Kurosawa once again. I shall complete the book I am reading “Percy Jackson and the Battle of the Labyrinth”. Movies to watch tomorrow:
1. Seven Samurai
2. Grease- Part 1
3. Jaane tu ya jaane na

I know that I have a lousy haircut, and I am waiting to just snip off my hair really short. But first I need to find a good hairdresser.

And I need to stop obsessing about things that are not possible.
