Imagine me and you..so happy together!!

I am in LOVE!!

His name is Greg.
He is a lawyer.
He is absofuckinglutely delicious.
He plays/used to play one half of the title role in Dharma & Greg.

*sigh*

Let's start from the beginning. I have a T.V. in my dorm room (17" people, yay for me!). I made a conscious decision not to plug it in! Coz when I did do that last semester, horrible things happened. I never went to bed before 3:00 am ( Not that I don't do that now!) and I started watching Golden girls. My awakening came while spending a weekend at my brother's place, when after spending 14 glorious hours shopping, eating, 'having the time of my life' type thing I still wanted to watch this sitcom about 4 septuagenarianish women. Yes, my brother did not approve, it wasn't like it was matrix you see!!! So now I scrounge around on the internet for sources of entertainment. So far I have covered Frasier, Scrubs, and The office.

Dharma & Greg. My friends from school (and when in school) used to watch this all the time. I never got to since my parents were against cable (we still don't have cable at home) so I was pretty out of what was currently happening on the tube(don't worry I was still the one with Attitude). Now I thought would be a good chance to catch up. So I started right from episode # 1 and man they didn't waste any time. So Dharma and Greg get married on their first "date"(It's more like a kidnapping but hey I am not complaining and neither is Greg after Dharma gives him some for 8 straight(!) hours on their wedding night). It basically is based on the opposites attract phenomena. People are generally very skeptical of this age old idea but I do think its true, or, atleast true in my case. I am a little nutty in my head but practically can be a tight ass :P so the kind of guys I go for are usually a bit on the wild side, with whom I can let my hair down i.e. in this series I would be Greg!! He is a lawyer, harvard grad...for people not familiar with this character think of a hetero Will from Will & Grace (Greg even looks like him). Dharma is flower child, hippie unmarried parents, whom she calls by their names (Abbey and Larry) and Greg sees them naked on their first meeting (Abbey was painting and Larry was the model...so obviously they had to do it in the nude! DUH!).

Greg, Greg, Greg...as if the naked parent-in-laws weren't enough Dharma is like the anti-thesis of whatever Gregory has been made to perceive as the perfect lady. But he accepts her, from day 1. And that is IMPOSSIBLE people!! All the eccentricities are endearing and every situation is fixable. Such a relationship, for me has existed only in my fantasy. I have hardly ever been in anything remotely resembling a relationship. I am commitment phobic and unfortunately so are my friends! It's hard for us to not freak out when things start getting serious. This definitely comes from being the second generational working women. Freedom for me is precious. I can't bear to have anyone share my bed (for sleeping). Yes its me who goes wham, bam thankyou sir, I am outta here. Or when I do try I wake up in the same position I went to bed in, exactly! With a stiff neck now to vouch for the uncomfortableness of the situation. And since I am fast approaching what my parents call the "marriageable" age, they expect me to present them with the perfect son-in-law, preferable within the next 2 years (I am 24). And that's the 2nd thing which seems impossible.

I want Greg, I want somebody to not try and change me. I want somebody to do the silly plus uber romantic hollywood kiss whenever, wherever coz I would, I really would. And somebody crazy about dogs (that dude is gonna be like the ultimate criteria!), somebody who wants to travel the world with me, adopt kids and whose idea of a perfect first date is a rock concert. He must be out there somewhere (Gawd how cliched is that??). I want GREG!

If it makes you happy...

I saw it, the first bloom i.e.....so yes now I can acknowledge that spring is here, officially :). And I do believe that it has been here for quite a while, atleast for a couple of weeks if not more. I just failed to notice its arrival coz I have been so worried, over nothing really (that's in another post, still a draft but will be here soon, its a leeetle on a crazy side so bear with me). Pink flowers, wild ones at that, maybe that's why I noticed them in the first place, coz they weren't supposed to be there. Unlike the highly manicured grounds and color coordinated flowers in pots big enough to be a bath tub maintained by the univ people (tell me again why we are suffering from lack of funds in our lab?). So here's an idea why don't I jot down stuff that makes me grin/laugh like crazy at any and every place, and makes people around me wonder if I am right in me head (Yes I actually have my बत्तीसी/32 out at such occasions and unfortunately am among those few who find it really hard to control their laughter, needless to say has proved to be embarrassing at more than one occasion). Anneeewayz, so here's the list:

1.) The first bloom of spring (Haha gawd you should have seen that one coming :P)

2.) Somebody walking their dog/s (I smile coz of the dog, not the walker!! Yes I am crazy abt em and gng by my non-existent love life am probably gonna end up as the crazy dog lady!)

3.) A reeeeeeaaally cute guy (I mean come on.....don't hate me, I already mentioned my pathetic love life!!) ..(Ooops waitamin, there's a clause, the hottie spotting has to be at an inopportune moment, like say when I am already with someone else, or may be with my Mom n dad...basically when I can't really do something about it. I guess the giggling is then the sexual energy which surfaces, although i am open for interpretations)

4.) When, while walking, my ipod suddenly starts blaring one of those bhangra numbers (umm...did I tell you I am from Delhi??)

5.) When my dad calls me suddenly in the middle of the day coz he misses me :)

6.) Reading a P.G. Wodehouse, I actually do burst out laughing, public place or no public place.

7.) When I look at the shell my brother bought for me with my name painted on it from somewhere in South India on his school trip (he was in 9th standard, I am the younger (read pesky/irritating) one, and he didn't get anything as personal for anyone else, man I was blown away, my brother actually cared about me even back then. This was about...umm...1..2....more than 10 years ago!!)

8.) When I see somebody else smiling for no apparent reason!

9.) When there's a sale on Neiman Marcus (I still don't buy, but atleast it seems more possible। And hey I am a girl!)

9.) O.k. totally cheating here but please pretty please :D, so another #9 is that it makes me happy when it rains!! (for confirmation check out a previous post on the whole damn thing).

10.) When somebody flirts with me, nicely (o.k. this one I guess is pretty universal and I definitely can't play the game but its always nice isn't it??)

O.k. you guys your turn now. It shouldn't be hard to come up with 10 things that make you happy! (the traffic on this thing makes me wanna cringe, cry, hurl myself from the rooftop..or.. link all my blogger buddies, but then again I prefer it this way, atleast for the time being!)

Muuaaaahhh my darlings

I have the POWER!!!

Yaba Daba doooooooo!!! hahahahaha...yes all you lovely people out there I am dancing with joy and patting myself on the back. I am done with those effing tax returns and with one day to go :D:D:D (wish could say the same about a couple of assignments that are overdue ...and I am a grad!!). But doesn't that bother you that for a 2-page form there are 20 pages of instructions?

Love, Peace and rock'n'roll

(Uggh what am I?? a 100? and it didn't even sound good in my head)

P.S. Why does it say that I have been on blogger since Jan 2007??? No you lier, I haven't been on blogger that long, our affair started only a few weeks back and I was the one who hesitated. There I said it first, now I own you! Gawd I truly am on a roll :P. Anybody else wanna piece of me?

Everyone has had more sex than me

You HAVE to watch this (and I promise this video embedding wouldn't become a regular feature coz I know it bugs me and I almost never watch it on other people's blogs but please please please watch this, it is hilarious and oh so cute!!). And yes I know what some of you are wondering and no darlings now is not the time, afterall I don't know you that well....as yet ;)

We'll always have Paris

I am in love with this picture, the one in the header, yup the one I put up today. Gawd yes its a totally filmy-fake scene but don't you absolutely luuurrvve it??? Who hasn't dreamed of being caught in a rain shower with that special someone to cling to! You know how it is..walking down the street (is still more "awwww" inspiring if the said street would happen to be in oh... I don't know..Paris??) and it happens to be a little windy and just a little cold. Your hair is all loose and long (preferably the ladys' but if the guy happens to be Brad Pitt..well all I am saying is go and see 'Interviews with the vampire', he is absoeffinglutely yummy in there mmmm...but I digress) and suddenly it starts pouring and you look at each other and burst out laughing. How cheesy am I??? Or lets' shift our focus on to the other jumpy man in there..haha what wouldn't I give to be so uninhibited. I remember as a child stripping to my chuddies :P (underpants for the non-hindi speakers) and jumping around like crazy in the yard in the rain. It was so normal to do it then, even expected! Only no-no was the very first rain of the season, something about it being polluted and stuff (like it was washing the atmosphere or something) and then waiting for the next time for it to rain was pure agony!! It could happen any time but it should be the right time. Definitely not when in school and not after dark, not while at somebody else's place and etc etc.. This one time I got down from the school bus, I must have been 13 or 14 then, yup the days of chuddy-dancing were far behind, and it was raining cats and dogs, everyone else who got down with me was waiting under a shed for the rain gods to pipe down a bit but I couldn't resist it, no I wanted to walk in the rain, I wasn't a wuss! What's a little bit of rain. So I and this little kid, whom I used to walk home, marched bravely and were drenched to the bone by the time we got home. Obviously when he fell sick I black-mailed him into telling everyone it was his idea in the first place (he worshiped the ground I walked on :P). God I miss those days. The rain here on the east coast of US of A is definitely not the same. Its never that hot for people to actually pray for it to rain in the first place and when it does rain its icy and unfriendly. Everybody walks like zombies with their hoods drawn over their faces, like wishing to avoid a clingy, unwanted "friend". It's been raining since morning today, spring is just around the corner (though I guess officially its already here since I had my spring break about a month ago! But I refuse to acknowledge its presence till I see atleast a single bloom) and I am waiting for my summer break, well not a break exactly since I'd be working in my lab, researching some stuff I have absolutely no interest in and definitely do not understand but don't have the courage to abandon. Yes I would have loved to study literature but then it was too girly for me, I wanted to have a career where I could/would earn big and be all independent. I guess what I was afraid of was people NOT expecting a lot from me coz I happen to be a woman. Well that was stupid! But coming back to waiting for the summer part, yes so the university is deserted since all the pesky undergrads are gone and I walk around feeling as if the whole place belongs to me :) I love that! And its a very beautiful campus really, set in a rural area, a couple of lakes thrown in for good measure, the beautiful old architecture holding its own against the ritzier newer buildings, and the cow barn right behind my department (our univ makes its own ice-cream, and its effing delicious!). So yes, I am waiting for summer quite eagerly and wish to being caught in a rain-shower in good ol' Delhi sometime in near future. Meanwhile my sweethearts we'll always have our memories aka Paris to make us smile :)
