Parez should take some tips.
If you want to be snarky, this is the way to go.

More Heir Then Wit
So… I was surfing through the web yesterday in a fairly jobless fashion (despite the fact that it was a Tuesday and I was actually kinda swamped), and I came across this:
The Hermes Bicycle
Bicycle in lacquered stainless steel.
Frame, handles and saddle in Taurillon Clemence leather.
Kickstand, front and back lighting, carrier with bungy cord, mud flap and spoke protector.
Can someone please explain to me why anyone would buy this???
Firstly, if you convert it, that’s about 1,88,000 INR (and to save myself the trouble, lets assume that all future prices that I dont mention in USD or GPB are INR)… let me just say OUCH!
Even thinking about it makes my wallet hurt.
Who spends almost 2 lakhs on a bicycle!!! And what’s worse… it’s covered in leather! How totally impractical is that? What if it starts to rain?
This is NOT what I would call a sensible use of money.
I guess you really know you have way more money then you know what to do with (or a complete disregard for Daddy's Dollars) when you start buying things like that.
(Oh! Check out the Hermes baby stuff while your there… now I know that most new parents can be made to buy practically anything for darling baby, but seriously! Who buys a US$930 plush horse? That’s almost 44 thousand rupees!)
So then I started to wonder, what are the really daft things out there that no one but a really filthy rich, and possibly slightly brain damaged person, would be suckered into buying?
And here are a couple of things I found.
You may have heard of a few of them before, but they were just too noteworthy not to mention.
Bling H20
(Water for the super rich and vapid)
Cost? US$40 a bottle. For WATER!
Weirdly enough reading the site taught me something new... who knew there were awards for water?
Oh, also, its not water for everyone... apparently "just those that Bling."
Miniature Home Chocolate Fountain
(Figured I ought to put in at least one thing which I would totally buy if I had the cash)
The Miniature Chocolate & Fondue Fountain is the ultimate accessory for every fondue lover and home entertainer.
The elegance and fun of the larger chocolate fountains can now be yours with a personal chocolate fountain of your own!
Depending on size and capacity, these cost between US$86 - 196.
Because what could possibly be more elegant then a chocolate fountain?
Charlotte Thomas Bespoke
(Sheets I would be to terrified to fall asleep on)
The most expensive bed sheets in the world - handmade, using the finest merino wool backed with hand-loom silk and thousand-count Egyptian cotton sheets, and threaded with 22 carat gold.I imagine sleeping on them would feel awesome, they're reputed to be the finest bedding in the world.
How much do they cost?
Well, I'm guessing the Britt sense of propriety stepped in here, because the site doesn't say.
And its also probably a sliding scale, since the sheets are made to each buyers specifications.
But each individual pillowcase is about GBP1,200, so one can only imagine.
(For the curious, that's 92,400 bucks per pillowcase).
and lastly... just coz I find it hilarious that they're just pretty flip-flops (which you could probably find for about a 100 bucks here - and probably less in fact).
Limited Edition Havaianas
(They actually cost more then the chocolate fountain!)
And yeah, they're probably Swarovski Crystals, but it doesn't actually say that on the product page, so who says they aren't just glass?
I sure as heck wouldn't spend over 9K (US$198) on these, but that's what they cost!
But then, even the regular run of the mill Havaianas cost about 846 bucks at the very least!
And now I'm feeling exceedingly poor and totally weirded out by the things people will spend money on.
So I guess I'll go eat lunch, and leave you with this.

Enjoy The Ride
Does anyone else still listen to Morcheeba?
Well this song is stuck in my head... the video is a little strange, but the song is awesome.
so don't get put off!

Screaming for Ice Cream
God it’s hot…
If this weather keeps up, I’ll be well on my way to getting fat! What people say about fast food chains is soo true! Ok… that wasn’t as random a leap as it might have sounded. Although maybe it didn’t sound as random as I thought it did.
Well whatever.
Back to the point (and my apologies for the side trip into scattyness), every afternoon for the last month or so I’ve started to crave ice cream. Must be a combination of the weather and my general weakness where all things chocolate are concerned.
And the enabler in this sudden obsession? Well… the great golden arches have moved in next door. They opened sometimes late last year, but it was pretty cold then, and since I really can’t stand anything but the fries when it comes to eating there, it wasn’t such a big deal.
Till now.
Because, I LOVE, love, love, love the McSwirl. And there’s nothing better then yummy ice cream in a lovely thick layer of solid chocolate on a hot afternoon.
Sadly I cannot find a picture... to help make you crave one too! :) So let me just assure you... its Yummy! And kind of like magic... into the sauce goes the ice cream (how does it not melt???) out it comes again... and then bam! Choco-sauce to crunchy-munchy chocolate, right before your eyes.
*sigh*
And dang… coz now I want one.
But I shall resist… which is very hard to do! And takes me back to the first few lines of this post…

"please install your witty title here"
coz I'm too lazy to do it.
its 12:43am... I'm doing some of tomorrows work so my Tuesday this week wont be as horrific as it was last week (9pm still at work! not unusual for some... but seriously. i am NOT that much of a workaholic!)
u might wonder "why, if she claims to be working, is Elle typing in her blog." uh duh! coz I'm bored with my work! like obvious much!!
lol... ok ok... I'll quit it with the bimbo talk... but yes... I'm bored. and yes, i do know that you're tired of hearing that. so someone! give me a constructive solution please (and by that i do not mean telling me to shut the heck up - you could try that... but i cant say you'll get the type of reaction you were hoping for.)
Anyway... seriously, someone tell me what to do with my life... coz I'm really beginning to have some doubts about whether or not I'm qualified to be making any decisions pertaining to it...
sigh. don't worry, its probably just that it being past my bedtime is giving me the gloomies.
Maybe i better stop spreading the love and get back to work so i actually get done and go to sleep soon.

Resurrection
Sheesh! Its been almost an entire year since I last posted! Where has the time gone??
Ok… I don’t think I can maintain this like a live journal. And considering all I pretty much do is work … :P imagine how boring THAT would get to read!
Woke up at an hour which sane humans should not have to see (8:30am). Got ready. Came to work. Worked and worked and worked. Ate lunch – it sucked/it was awesome. Worked and worked and worked. Left work. It was dark. Fought with a wretched auto driver about whether or not it’s more his problem or mine that I live in the boonies but still don’t want to pay him Rs150 when the actual rate is Rs.50. Got home. Ate dinner. Watched TV. Read some of my current book. Slept.
Haha… 360 days of that. Oh man… my life is pathetic :P
Anyway… as I was saying, wont have the time, patience or will to live if I post that stuff… so lets find something else to talk about.
Just not now. Coz its back to working and working for me.

Sorry for the cliché
TGIF!
The day I’ve had can best be described in one word. Gak! Hehe…. Actually, it wasn’t that bad. Had quite a lot of work to do… But it’s only 4:30 and I’m all done. I would leave, but its storming. So I’m stuck here till it stops.
Hopefully that’s soon. I have a piano class to take at 6:30, and I don’t feel like cancelling, the kid missed last week too. But boy, I am not in the mood to teach a five year old. Usually I love it. They’re all so intelligent and they like learning, so it’s no hardship… but it also take a LOT of patience. Five year olds do not have a large attention span. There’s an understatement! It’s challenging to keep them interested, but it’s also really amusing.
On a totally different topic… I’m listening to my music library on shuffle. The strangest playlist is popping up. I just went from Hot Steppa to Boulevard of Broken dreams, and weirdly enough, it wasn’t that much of a leap. In fact, it was a pretty good segue.
Ok… now I’m going to go check on the rain. And if it’s stopped, then I shall leave.

Sigh!!!! Exam time… approaches…
In exactly 12 days to be precise.
Freaking out!
Also have this semester’s Final film due on Saturday… not really in the mood to write…
So. This can just count as a trivial little update. Will have a looong philosophical monologue as my next post to make up for it. :D hehe… just kidding of course… who would want to read that!?

Help! Help! I’m drowning! noooooooooooooooooo…
In slush no less. Yuck. I hate this weather. There is an unending, nasty drizzle, and the amazing ‘road’ outside our house has turned into one giant mud river. Squelch!!!
On another topic… let me apologise for the ‘dead blog’ impression that was going on for the last month or so. Been really, really busy. Exams are looming. In two weeks!!!!!!! Eeek… and we haven’t really finished our portions yet. Therefore LOTS of work. And that’s really understating things. (the drowning comment has duel meaning! Hehe)
Oh, I finally got my last semester results this week… sheesh, talk about disorganised! It’s almost the end of this semester, they lost our original results, so now they’ve given us some other grades???! My college is crap. I swear, they have no clue what they’re doing about 80% of the time. And I’m probably being kind with that estimate…
As you can tell… I am not in a very good mood. Although, there is one thing for us to be grateful for. The prof. we have right now (for Project Fiction, and Sound for Moving Image) is the only faculty we’ve had all sem. who knows ANYTHING! He’s a lot of fun. Class is interesting again :D yay!
We’ve been getting some pretty cool assignments to. Our final project for his class is to shoot a short film. And one of our options is making a Music Video! Which is obviously what I’ve decided to do… but that’s not for a little while yet. We have 3 other assignments to finish by this Monday. A complete pre-prod breakdown for any TV commercial of our choice, a Photomatic – which has to be an ad, and a 1min short film. Actually, I should be working on my 1min film script… will go do that in a bit. Luckily don’t have college till afternoon…. But it’s getting kinda late, so maybe I’ll stop this here and go finish my work. bbye

Bah humbug!
I’m really really bored! Holiday blues I guess… had a whole week off, and although it was really nice to be jobless (we didn’t even have a holiday assignment!) it still got pretty boring to not have anything to do… but only after a while :) the main problem is that hardly anyone else had such a long break… and it was raining a lot! So hardly went out… which means all I had to do was sit at home and read or watch tv… sigh… u see how that could get a little old after a while…
Anyway, it’s Saturday, which mean tomorrow is my last day off. And I guess I’m sort of looking forwards to going back to college… at least there’ll be people around then! But still, college does suck, so I’m pretty sure I’ll be wishing for holidays again in under a week! He he… I feel like the Rumtum Tugger…
This is a pretty pointless post… I’m not really in the mood to write, so I have no idea why I’m posting anything at all… but I figure that since I’m sort of letting this blog slide, I should just post whenever I get the chance. And being completely and totally jobless it makes sense to just write something out now… well, guess i'll stop this ramble now... go find something else to do... mayb sleep :)

There’s someone stomping around above my head. Which is creepy. Coz our upstairs neighbours moved out!
Dint have college today, and dint go yesterday, coz of the rain!!! But it dint rain today… so actually, that sentence should go more like this.
Yesterday I tried to go to college. And got soaked walking up the road. Despite the fact that I had an umbrella. Thank god for cell phones… um… or who ever invented them. Which makes me wonder… who did invent cell phones? Do u know? I certainly don’t.
Anyway. As I was saying… I got soaked. Called our teacher (who, incidentally, is less then a year older then me! – and personally, I don’t think she’s at all qualified. She didn’t know who Orson Welles was!!!! our college is crap.) and told her I couldn’t turn up… then… The rain got worse. Luckily I was home and dry before that happened… but the police commissioner declared the 26th and 27th holidays for all educational facilities, coz road conditions are so bad. What with the flooding and all… today was the 26th. And it dint rain all day! so I guess we’ll have college tmrw. Coz as I said, college is crap… y cant they listen to the police commissioner? He is an authority figure after all… and he must have some idea of what he’s doing. Wait. This is India! What am I saying?! Lol… Just kidding, I’m sure he’s an excellent man and dedicated to his job…
Oh… damn. The internet just cut out… good thing I’m writing this on word… but it does mean I wont be posting again. Oh well…
Diwali holidays start next week. We get 9 days off! :) cool isn’t it… I love living in a multi-religious culture…
So… other then that, life is boring. In fact, I was so bored yesterday, that I sat ad watched Tarzan. How sad is that? It is such a crappy cartoon… but I was all alone at home, and it was raining! So naturally, a slight feeling of depression settled over me. and the only thing that helps in such a situation, is watching a really pathetic movie or cooking. And since I didn’t feel like doing the later… I sat and watched TV. Which, I should mention, is pretty much what I did today. Being on holiday is only fun if there are other people on holiday with you. Actually, Lavi had a holiday both days too… but yesterday it was all rainy and there was a massive puddle in front of her house, as in calf deep wading type puddle… so she was stuck at her place and I was stuck at mine. But today we baked :) which was fun. Made up a whole new cake recipe. Came out really well actually… so had that with ice cream… still some left. And k just about got home. She’s eating dinner right now… but when she’s done we can eat more CAKE n ICE CREAM! Yay :D
On the subject of the rain… what is WITH that!? Why are we having torrential downpours in October… seriously. This just goes to show, all u morons who thought global warming wouldn’t effect the world in our life times and therefore continued to pollute the earth without a twinge from your consciences… really brilliant move guys. Thank you sooo much for helping to decimate our home and make it that much less habitable for all the life it supports.
I think u should all go find some corner to cry in. and when u come out… go help someone!!! There are plenty of natural disasters to choose from… and almost everywhere in the world too… tragedy at your backdoors people. U cant turn a blind eye anymore… this means you! Get it now? I really wonder…

What to write?
This is officially a space killing ramble : ) u have been warned!
I’m in a good mood. Which is weird coz college really sucks, and that’s pretty much all I have time for recently. But tmrw’s a holiday! Yay! For dashera… it’s great to live in a multi-religious country. We get so many holidays! Lol… actually, having one day off isn’t really something to crow over. K and my mom have 5 whole days!!!! Lucky things… I wish I had that much free time too : ( But… not going to depress myself now… can wait till tmrw for that… he he : )
I may b a bit nuts… just an observation.
But then they do say that people who think they are crazy aren’t. and it’s the people who don’t even realise they’re acting cracked who turn out to b mad. But then how do they know that!? Maybe all the people who think they are crazy actually are, but being forewarned, have an easier time of hiding it from other people… doesn’t that make sense? Does to me… but then, maybe I’m nuts… : ) he he…
Okie… cant actually think of anything else to ramble about… not a very successful ramble is it… should be at least 12 paragraphs long to qualify! That’s what I think.
So
Lets make this twelve paras!
Lol
How am I doing?
Does this qualify as an erratic and strange ramble?
Damn…. This is still only 10…
Well… that leaves two to go. Lets make them count. Okie… what to talk about? Hmmm? Isn’t that how this started? Yep? Same old, same old… looks like I’m going in circles! Wooohooo… maybe I’ll get dizzy? Okie… more proof of the cracked thing… yes? Yes.
AT LAST! The end : ) heh heh… y exactly am I even doin this? Very good question… I could be sleeping. But NO! here I sit filling in a completely useless post… of no value or worth to anyone, including it’s author… which is a very sad case. All things considered. But then, it should be a little amusing to go back and read at some later date… primarily, that’s why I write in this thing. To amuse myself and others, with my silly trivial musings. He he… at least, it amuses me. not sure about all u other folks. Is this fun to read?
Well, whatever.
I think I’ll go to bed now… sleepy time : ) plan to cram in all the things I don’t usually get to do tmrw. Lol… probably wont b possible. So mayb I’ll keep some of them for diwali break. Which is a whole week! Yay! Bbye now.
I’m in a good mood. Which is weird coz college really sucks, and that’s pretty much all I have time for recently. But tmrw’s a holiday! Yay! For dashera… it’s great to live in a multi-religious country. We get so many holidays! Lol… actually, having one day off isn’t really something to crow over. K and my mom have 5 whole days!!!! Lucky things… I wish I had that much free time too : ( But… not going to depress myself now… can wait till tmrw for that… he he : )
I may b a bit nuts… just an observation.
But then they do say that people who think they are crazy aren’t. and it’s the people who don’t even realise they’re acting cracked who turn out to b mad. But then how do they know that!? Maybe all the people who think they are crazy actually are, but being forewarned, have an easier time of hiding it from other people… doesn’t that make sense? Does to me… but then, maybe I’m nuts… : ) he he…
Okie… cant actually think of anything else to ramble about… not a very successful ramble is it… should be at least 12 paragraphs long to qualify! That’s what I think.
So
Lets make this twelve paras!
Lol
How am I doing?
Does this qualify as an erratic and strange ramble?
Damn…. This is still only 10…
Well… that leaves two to go. Lets make them count. Okie… what to talk about? Hmmm? Isn’t that how this started? Yep? Same old, same old… looks like I’m going in circles! Wooohooo… maybe I’ll get dizzy? Okie… more proof of the cracked thing… yes? Yes.
AT LAST! The end : ) heh heh… y exactly am I even doin this? Very good question… I could be sleeping. But NO! here I sit filling in a completely useless post… of no value or worth to anyone, including it’s author… which is a very sad case. All things considered.

He he… say that 20 times fast… :)
I just did the most random thing… accidentally clicked ‘next blog’ and reached some guys journal. Written really well. Couldn’t help reading it!!! Anyway. My weirdness aside… actually, what else do I have to write about But that!? He he…
Ok
So. Not been well. Flu. No biggie. Got to skip college. Which wasn’t really that great a feat since we only had to go in a few hours on some days to show our faces. So basically got sleep and rested up. Which was great :D
There was an auto strike on today. And apparently some ppl were burning tyres and stuff… left unions on strike or something. So anyway, no one went to work, from home I mean. Not NO one at all! Whatever… bit sleepy. Late and I didn’t get that much nap time today…
Thinking of going to college tmrw. Not that I feel like it. But I’m not really sick anymore… but I have to go in on saterday. Ethnic day *barf* why do they have those? Have to dress up in a sari and everything… not my idea of fun.
Actually I don’t really mind wearing a sari that much… it’s ok. U get used to it. And it isn’t uncomfortable per se, just feels a bit awkward. Mainly it’s the getting dressed which is a pain. Hate that. And ironing the cholli and petticoat. That’s BAD. The one good thing is that I have my own sari’s… and therefore chollies and petticoats that actually fit. Major improvement to wearing something that doesn’t. but still, have to go sort out which one. Silk or cotton? What colour? What style? Bha! Rather just wear jeans and a t shirt… he he
Oh well… have to, so better sit tmrw and sort it all out.
At least I don’t have the problems of some of my friends! One of them has to go get her belly button ring removed coz her mom doesn’t know about it, and would FREEK OUT! He he… that’s why u should learn how to tie your own sari… not that I have anything to hide. Pity… :)

ahhh... time
he he... finally, time to post. but i'm going to keep this short coz it's 5:00a.m. and i want to go take a short nap before college. things are crazy.... the Delhi media H.O.D was here this week, her name is sangitika... anyway, she came in to sort things out. and although i'm not too sure how good a job she did, things are more settled then they were before she showed. At least we have a time table now, and are going to be starting our course work. actually we've already started, just haven't done as much of it as we should've. only started the documentary section. anyway, we're going to shoot our films and then we'll be done with that. so by oct we'll be on our way. i'm happy coz it means we'll be done by the 2nd week of December, exams and all... yay! means a huge break.
okie... should go now, give my self and the comp a break. feeling a bit hyper actually. probably due to the coffee buzzing about in my system... and the lack of sleep too. although i did get 7 hours last night! and a short 2 hr nap this afternoon :) which was pure decadence and laziness on my part... he he.
okie doke, that's all folks...
oh, and NOBODY comment on any spelling errors here... there will be sever consequences... i am in no condition to do anything about my spelling or even care. so shush. ur trivial opinions are not required. lol :)
bbye... feel free to comment if it's positive. otherwise u will have to 'give me a moment to suppress my deep hatred' he he he... bet only k knows where that's from. and now i'm just wasting time and procrastinating... which is just plain silly since the only thing i have to do now is curl up in bed! so... so long people. for the very last time tonight... erm... this morning, i mean.

everything is wonderful now
He he... love this song.
I just made a new play list of all the songs that make me feel happy. Quite a long list actually. Isn't it strange how each of us associate specific songs with certain emotions or feelings? Sometimes they can even bring up memories long buried.
Actually that's not really all that weird. After all the same thing happens with smells! For example the smell of freshly baked, or baking bread will always remind me of the school kitchen, and the cosy feeling it had. So, no wonder sounds have as powerful an effect.
What really stumps me though, is the fact that it doesn't always make sense, what I mean is, the song could be about something else entirely, but we remember it in a certain way and that's what we react to. Maybe it the circumstances of when we first heard the song, or whatever. But the emotions created at that time stick, and that's how we will always react to that song. Unless of course, one day you hear the song at the same time as something even more powerful then the first memory is going on. Then maybe the feeling for that song, and the memories it elicits, changes.
Not at all sure I’m putting this across clearly. So lets see if I can come up with an example... ok, the other day I was watching 'Rock Star INXS' and one the contestants sang this Bonnie Raitt song, ‘I Can’t Make You Love Me’. anyway, I don’t even remember ever having heard this song before. But I really liked it, and I had this really clear memory of a room, and this lovely safe feeling.
No clue how it popped up. And I had absolutely no recollection of where that room was! So later, I was listening to the song on the comp and my sis walks in and I told her about the memory that came with it. She started laughing and told me I was remembering the living room of some friends of my parents. Apparently we used to go there for parties when we were tiny, and they usually played this song. I must have been about four…
I don’t even remember those people anymore. But that song produced such a strong image that I could describe that room a good 17 years later. Weird huh? And then there are songs like Eric Clapton’s ‘Wonderful tonight’, I don’t think there will ever be a time when I listen to this song and don’t think about my parents dancing.
But that's what songs are about, they're ment to make u feel.

Weird friends
Maybe that’s a little inaccurate… acquaintances then.
I have weird acquaintances! He he… not that that sentence sounds exactly normal!
Anyway.
This last week has been fairly strange. First, college has started. But not really. We have no faculty, or course work … or ANYTHING! So basically,
we were told that we might as well only start coming from the 29th. Which is when the new kiddies start.
Other then that. These guys from Mtv showed up at college the other day. They have this youth programme where they have a topic and kids from specific colleges in Blr, Bbay and Delhi discuss it. Supposed to be giving us a ‘voice’, but since they discuss totally bogus stuff, and don’t actually do anything… I think it’s a BIG waste of time! But one of my daft friends put my name on the list and I got short listed. Augh.
So now I have to go. The shoot is on the 24th, and they’ll air it 2 weeks later. Guess it may be interesting from a purely technical standpoint. One can hope… :)
On a more interesting front! I took my first piano class this week!! :D the kid, Shyna, is the cutest little thing. Only four… but she wants to learn. Which is good. I think it’ll be fun to teach her! I need to go and get some stick on stars and things. At her age I’m really going to have to work to keep her interested. Good fun :)
Half an hour on Thursdays… something to look forwards too. And the cash will be a bonus! He he he… plan to teach about four kids, already have them, but need to confirm timings and things. Don’t want more, doubt I could handle it… won’t have the time. Once college actually starts that is…
Okie… gtg to bed now. Feeling pretty exhausted. Not too well mainly. Hate this weather. Changes too often. Makes everyone ill… also I have to be in college tomorrow because the producer for that show from Mtv is probably coming to give us a briefing. Sigh… maybe if I just bunk out they wont expect me to show on the day of the shoot and so I wont have to… but I’m too much of a good girl for that. Damn it! He he… but seriously, no way would I bunk out now that I’m on that list… just not ethical. Create problems for them too… and what if I want to get a job at Mtv at some point? Not that that’s likely… but still. No sense burning bridges. Right? Right.
