100th Post

Posted by SMM on 12:28
Woohooo people...I'v completed a century (and a little more than a year as well) :P

Anyway lot o tell. We had a super-amazing Holi party. We got all dirtied up and had loads of fun. You can see the photos here. We played only with herbal colours and lots of water. Surprisingly it took only 20 minutes under the shower to clean up - no rashes, no breakouts nothing. I did end up with fever and a sore throat though on Wednesday evening, which resulted in my being on an enforced maun vrat on Thursday in office. I played dumb charades all day and sent a lot of mails to my colleagues since I couldn't shout across the cubicles and ask them as we usually do. They thought it was awfully funny.

Anyway left early Friday morning for Calcutta. Saw Vivek Oberoi at the aiport dressed in a chappri (sidey/ roadside - don't know how to translate it) pink tee and maaroing loads of attitude. sadly for him, nooone daaloed him any ghaas and as an old gentleman behind me commented "Who is that bugger? Does he have ants up his pants?". Mr. Oberoi was accompanied by a bunch of wannabes who thought they had something over the rest of us plebeians since Vivek Oberoi condescended to chat with them. However, thanks to my cold, I ended up with terrible earache on the flight and my right ear being blocked for the rest of the day, which resulted in my hearing only from the left ear (Nope not funny people - its weird to yawn and hear some sound like paper crinkling in your ear which is apparently the tissues moving around).

Anyway took mom shopping, bought her a pair of jeans and a couple of tops. Picked up a couple of tops for myself as well. It's really funny when you have the heppest mall 5 minutes away from home, hence we end up going there on evening walks dressed in old tees and shorts and seeing the rest of the crowd all dressed up to their nines. Onetime, a bunch of friends all sweaty after a basketball match landed up for a coffee only to meet a friend's future boss and him turning the opposite direction and running off.

We went to New Market the next day where I picked up some black and whites for myself and hunted for some decent shoes. I'm wondering why these shoe brands like Inc 5, Metro, woodland etc. don't make some decent office sandals which don't have stupid bows and ribbons, impossible heels and hard soles. I fail to understand why can't we have smart and comfy office wear? I generally end up buying Catwalk for office wear though I was a big Inc 5 fan earlier. And yes I'm bored of peep-toes now. Let' have some new designs please. Met a couple of old school friends for lunch which was really fun. There was a time we'd discuss what subjects to take and which fest to go for and how much to roll up the skirt above the knee which our Ghoomti Aatma (Vice principle so named cuz she'd invariable show up with her head popping in through this huge window which had been all covered up with bags  whenever we were up to no good) would not notice. Now we were discussing married life 2nd anniversary celebrations, work, office politics, scholarships, old friends and who got married, kids and when to have them etc etc etc.
Sunday I met another close friend for coffee and then surprised an aunt by dropping by at her place for half an hour and made my poor cousin come out of the loo without taking a bath since I was in a hurry. That evening I also conned my dad into buying me this sexy outfit which I had seen and coveted :P
Monday morning (i.e. today) saw me headed back and landing with pain in left ear and little hearing in my left ear for the day. 

I need to go see a doc :(

u r sick minded person,u need medical help,nothing is wrong with vivek,he earns crores of reupees every year,helps neddy person,and wat u do,who know u,its better to go to doctor and have a scan of ur brain


Hey Ekta...firstly welcome to my blog.

Read the lines again. I never said there is anything wrong with Vivek. if that's what you read, then you need to go for some english classes asap. Secondly, he's a public figure - he's going to get brickbats and bouquets whether he or you like it or not. Thirdly, just because my opinion on Vivek Oberoi does not conform with yours does not mean I need to go to a doctor to get my brain scanned.


haha esha needs her brain scanned. and needs to to a spell check too.

ok by the way, i am unable to see your posts on my RSS reader since your font color is white. Ask arjun to do something about it :)

Nice post. I think I saw someone famous once in the airport but who cares? :P unless he offers me money do so :D


Lol @ esha's comment.

So, looks like it was a nice holi after all. And nice bunch of pics.

its weird to yawn and hear some sound like paper crinkling in your ear which is apparently the tissues moving around

Oh yes, I have those moments too. Makes me wonder if I broke a muscle or a tissue.

P.S: I'm still laughing at the comments ;)


Hey Congrats!!! I think we might have started the blog around the same time no?
p.s. I thought I was the only one to keep spotting B grade celebs..


Aditya...you finally found your way to my blog. Blessed am I :P

Does the font colour have anythign to do with RSS reader? Try changing the colour of your font to black cuz nooone else has any problem.

And nobody famous and wise is going to offer you money to say ou saw him unless it was someone really desperate in which case he's not famous :P


Hey J, maybe we all should go get our brains scanned if we didn't agree with each other. (I just realized Arjun and me would be spending all our time getting our brains scanned in such case :P)

Maybe Ekta's just a desperate fan and got all green cuz I saw him and she didn't :P


Hey thanks Lostonthestreet (do you realize how long that is to type out :P)

I'v spotted my share of B grade celebs but this was the only one with ants in his pants - the rest weren't worth it :P


gosh looks like somebody caught u on the wrong foot! anyways the holi pics are nice babe. And good to knw tht u had a gr8 time shopping and meeting up friends. And btw congrats on hitting a century!! :)

Hey.Welcome back SMM.I think esha_1189 is a distant relative of humour.She also needs grammar lessons along with spelling ones. :D

Ear thing is common to me at least.Usually happens when I have a cold and I sneeze and one ear goes completely quiet and every little noise seems like a prick being inserted.lol.but after some minutes it gets proper.Hope yours does too :D
