Happy Happy

Happy New Year to all my readers (yes thats you - re, ma and f.. Thats about all the readership I have right now). Another year has gone by and I feel a little older and lot less wiser for it. I am not sure if the "old" adage that wisdom comes with years is really true because looking back on my life I feel I may have been a more mature individual while I was an adolescent than I am now. The following highlights from the past year may illustrate my point:

1. The shangria was so delicious at a particular party that my greed prompted me to immediately down a whole jug of it. I realised exactly 5 nano-seconds later that perhaps that was not the best idea. The remaining part of the evening was spent woozily wondering why the world was spinning out of control...
2. Being concerned that the old and practically blind maid that we have is stealing our cutlery only to find that I have carefully stored away large boxes of said cutlery in the loft (only to be used for cutlery-related emergencies)...
3. I refused to meet one of my best friends because she paid "too much attention" to her boyfriend... who, by the way, she was meeting for a week after months of separation...
4. I continued to watch TV as though its the 8th wonder of the world...
6. I took a gazillion pictures of our matching socks in London... and was indeed quite excited about the very idea of being sock-twins of yet another chaddi-buddy!
7. Maggi continued to be a proper meal for me... and now its enriched with nutrients as well (enough to provide you your daily dose of nutrients should you consume 5 packets in 1 day)...
8. I commented on every outdoor sequence in movies now that I can recognise locations in Bombay and frequently refuse to suspend disbelief when people leap out of Leopolds to suddenly appear at the Gateway - that leap would require several pole-vaults I assure you!
9. I gave up Scrabble because I have no choice but to lose horribly pathertically against F...
10. I have resolved to instead go for time-based word games like Boggle (as soon as I can find it in some store here)...
