Psst...

Remember my previous depressing post #1 and #2 ? I usually don't try to post when I am feeling blue since I fear I might end up saying things I don't mean to. Plus some people interpret it the completely inverted way and the explanation part is boggling.

So I am pleased to announce that the source of my depression(?) has vanished into thin air. The mail I was expecting finally landed into the refreshed-at-alarming-intervals inbox and it took days for the news to sink in. It was that good!

Although, you dear readers, might have to wait a little more time to know what exactly I was anxiously waiting for. I got it after so much struggle that I won't acknowledge the sweet victory till I am only a few days away from clinching it. I know, I know, it is too much of a suspense but I have the dubious distinction of being the person with record number of plans falling flat on their faces. So like a superstitious old woman, I will keep it under wraps till the right time arrives. Keep :)

That's Me!

It doesn't take rocket science to figure out from the blog that my behaviour tilts heavily on the weird scale. The only saving grace is that weird quotient is applicable only to my thoughts and I somehow manage to restrain myself from implementing them.

• When I am standing at the door of local train trying to catch some fresh air, more often than not,I had this urge to just jump put and see what happens. Don't mistake it for a suicidal tendency,it is simple curiosity which I somehow manage to keep in check. I was scared by my demented thoughts till Alias comforted me by sharing his similar experience.

• I have a watch, battered, bruised and requiring high maintenance simply because I wear it all the time to the point of abusing it. It is a nice feeling to look onto the wrist and able to tell the time. Plus I have this tendency to wake up at forsaken hours for apparently no reason, so instead of scanning for the wall clock in the dark, I look up to my watch. To put it in simple terms, I looooooovvvvvveeeeeeee my watch :)

• I am a victim of an over active metabolism which makes me burn food in a jiffy. It is reason enough for other females to envy me but here is the downside- I am forever hungry. My friends would vouch for it since I am always sniffing for some titbits even after wolfing down a heavy meal. My parents are forever at the receiving end since I empty out the dabbas for my fill of midnight snacks only to panic at the sight of empty containers when guests drop by.

• When I was a kid(makes me sound so old), I used to take home the wrapper of the chocolate and lick off the remnants with contended delight. It will give you an idea how much of a choco-addict I am.

• My mind is my world. I have globe-trotted, learned groovy dance forms and won Masterchef India. All in the mind, that is.

• I am really fond of photography and am thorough with the basics but I am most of the times too conscious to click when people are around. Once I badly wanted to capture an old man feeding stray dogs, but I was afraid that should he take offence, he might just release those dogs to attack me. I am more of a solitary photographer I guess, content with capturing plants and socks which won't turn mutant and kill me.

• Given a choice, I would rather curl up with a book and warm coffee at home rather than attend the most happening party in town. I have nothing against socialization, but I need to have 'me' time often to restructure my thoughts and contemplate about certain things.

I would have added more to the list but I fear you reader might confuse me for a mentally deranged person with no foothold in reality. Let me know if you are weirder -it might just comfort me and not make me feel lonely :)
