Whoever said (and if no one did than I am doing it now 😉 ) that when you have so much to say that you dont know where to begin, try talking in bullet points. So that is what I am going to do now.
- We had a great diwali, first diwali after 5 years away from my own home. The home which me and N had built with so much love but it turned out fine, after all festivals are about friends and family and celebrations and all were the same. BTW does doing a diwali post this late still makes sense?
- I have so many reviews pending but I have been so lazy to write… damn I atleast wanted to write about ripples that I finished reading sometime back and enjoyed it too… must write must write, currently I am reading “Keep the change” and “Papplion”. What are u reading these days?
- I have been maid less for the last 15 days now, so I am the home bai currently… cooking food, washing utensils, washing clothes, putting them to dry, folding them… sigh the work list is endless and here I am not even attempting to try to talk about Ojas or my work… Someone please please please please send me a maid. I will bake a cake for u pukka… the brownie cheesecake?
- The knee has been playing up again.. I think its all the exertion and the load have been taking but yaar tell me how can u ignore everything and sit perched up on the bed with a laptop? haan?
- I finally started yoga… 2 classes done, so far so good.. I hope it does some good to me, both health wise and weight wise
- I desperately want to go see Abha’s little girl and I was all set to go on Saturday, had even made N ready to play the chauffeur but damn unannounced guests, Why can’t people have the basic courtesy to call before coming.. sigh
- I realised today that I havent done the Goa post nor the chickmangalur post, does it still make sense to do it? sigh… why I am being so lazy these days?
- Pamela Anderson is coming to Big Boss, may be I should start watching it now. This time I amazed myself for not watching a single episode till now but then thats because I can’t miss Masterchef Australia for anything. MasterChef India is a totally different matter though. What was Akshay Kumar thinking when he signed that show??? A short stint in the food industry years ago makes him capable for being a masterchef host?
- I went and saw Endhiran with N and some friends yesterday. God I found it a 3 rd degree 3 hour torture but then atleast N can’t tell me that I haven’t watched a single tamil movie with him in 7.5 yrs 😉
- 8 yrs (almost) sigh yes I almost know him since soooo long… this reminds me that its our 6th wedding anniversary on Wednesday 17th and there is nothing planned till now, how sad is that??? Tell me if you guys know of any place around Bangalore where we can go for a day trip/drive?
Ok I think thats all in bullets as of now… u tell me hows ur life in bullets these days?

I agree with you, Endhiran was a 3 hour torture. Really, what was all the hype about?? *baffled*
yeah I still cant understand what was the hype and why?
LOL, I haven’t watched Enthiran yet, and I wonder if I’ll ever do, unless somebody gifts me a DVD 🙂 Though I’ve heard that both Rajini and Ash have done a wonderful job. Loved the songs anyway.
Oh you started Yoga classes? Excellent, Mon. Just this morning, I ranted about people trying to learn yoga from DVDs!! But if I remember right, Lara is a friend of yours, no?
Have a very happy wedding anniversary, M & N 🙂 Hope to see all your posts in a short while.
As for doubling up as inhouse maid , etc, tell me about it! I’ve been doing it for the last four years, and it ain’t easy!
yeah I did read the post and commented too I think, well I know her but that doesnt mean I think everything she does is right 😛
sigh I know but at the same time I think its much easier abroad than it is here
hi monika..we share the same surname:)btw i have stopped thinking of bai’s..they are one spices who seem to elude me..managed to do yoga for two months but ab motivation kahan hai??i think i have forgotten all the aasans…weight loss ke liye doing jhadu pocha is the best…trust me, so not having a bai is a boon..just grin n bear. No idea about blr kyon ke me frm aamchi mumbai..hope u have a great day on 17th..happy wedding anniversary in advance.
sigh i agree but who has the time ?
I did not even try to watch Enthiran 🙂
I would send you a maid if I could – for some of those brownies 🙂 Baking them tomorrow – if all goes as per plan. We shifted the play date to tomorrow, because both of us had lots going on today.
Friends dropping in without announcing – that is one thing that does not happen here. Things are planned, and confirmed, and re-confirmed 🙂 Just one time, my friend and I both thought that we were supposed to go to the other’s place. Poohi was under the weather so I called her, left her messages that we are not making it,but did not get her on the phone. Thank god we did not go to her place – because she thought that she was supposed to come to our place, and she landed here 🙂
wise decision smitha not watching very wise
and did u try it? did u like it?
ha ha ha 🙂 things are changing here too mostly people call and come but there still are some who want to just land up and they are mostly relatives 😦
Oh I broke the block too finally today! Nt writing for a while led to complete disinterest in writing anything at all and I just had to get out of the phase!
Eeks! Lemme ask ppl I know abt maids and get bk to u.
I am soooo J of all u ppl who r gonna see 2B soon 😦 Gimme pics atleast plsssssssssssssssss!
BigBoss – Hv never watched and never will 😉 But seriously, She is cmg there 😯 God bless her!
i still havent gone to see her swaram 😦
how about going to Gokarna? I suggested that on twitter too.
Papillon is a good read. I too dont miss a single episode of Masterchef Aussie and make my parents watch too 😀 cooking of lamb brains and stuff 😀
I think the question is not what was Akshay thinking..he would take anything..question is why did the producers decide on him to be host and judge? Why cant Indian versions of foreign series match up to their standards? 😦
yeah I got that suggestion but gokarna is pretty far from here about 300kms and cant be a day’s drive
i dont know i agree the producers shld have thought of someone else but he shld have used his brains too na??
for the brownie cheese cake I ll be your maid… let alone send one !!! 😛 😛 😛
what Pamela is coming to Big Boss !!!!!!!! Now I think I must certainly WATCH IT now… !!!!!!!!!! these folks seriously !!!!!!
6th year and no special plans… learn from me monu… its my 9th anniversary on 29th and we enter the 10th year of togetherness & I m planning to launch it with 10 gifts for her !!! come on there are some days to go… it must be made special !!!!
so when are u coming here? lots of clothes are pending for wash 😉
wow I must send N to u for training must I tell u
Suffered Robot myself…got it out in a rant-post. Yeeesh!
Hugs about the maid, it’s such a drudgery…seriously I wonder how we did it in the US…but this is a very dusty country!!!
I can feel my knees after many months, so am being careful. Did you know the knees represent flexibility? Whenever I get rigid about something, my knees start acting up. As soon as I ease up…they also relax 🙂
Happy Anniversary!
things are very different there starry as u say to start with dust and also there are lot of aids to help u, one doesnt have to do jhadu poocha everyday… u have a dishwasher etc etc
plus i have a mil and grand mil at home too so the work is just expontential 😦
actually yes yes u might have a point there never thought abt it that way
I completely agree with you on the Master Chef Australia and India comparison. The Indian version is very watered down and lacks the punch of the is original. Akshay is good, but a misfit as the host of this show….
Yea what were the makers thinking by dragging him to this?? 🙄
yeah but why does he not think about it? the things they do for money I tell u
Its chikMAGalore ( and not chikMANGalore)..in kannada meaning ‘city of the younger daughter’ … common mistake hence thought of letting you know
You may have also heard of the other place called DoddaMAGalore ( ‘city of the older daughter’ ) ..people mistake this for doddamangalore 🙂
thank u for the correction lakshmi 🙂

this life in bullets could actually be a tag, Mon!
i had a fairly boring diwali this time… and i am my maid! have been since i moved to delhi.. and there are days when i HAAAATE it.. its too much work ya…
if u cant do long posts on goa and other travels, do a picture post for each travel na? happy anniversary in advance.. plan something super nice na?? and when u go meet abha’s daughter, give her a big hug from me! 🙂
Endhiran is surely a brainless movie, watched it with hubby few days back. I wonder why tamil movies don’t have subtitles, would be so much easier for us wives.
You got knee problems too??!! We have too many things in common 😛
Didn’t know there is a MasterChef India, good info.
Yoga will definitely do you good, keep it up! I wish I could do it more often.
And now I’m off to write a post in bullet points
Love this bullet post :D! You’ve squeezed in so many things at one go, Mon…great!
So glad to know you had a great diwali this year :).
Awww..your maid-woes continue to trouble you is it?? Ok, if I pass on some hugs, will I qualify for cheese brownie cake treat..please please?? 😛 😛
You saw Enthiran?? Know what, I actually enjoyed it :D. I simply chose to ignore Aunt Aishwarya and the film was way more tolerable than I had thought 😀
And yes do post your travelogue on Goa & Chikmanglur… its never too late to do travelogues,ya!
– i want to do yoga too..
– i want books..
– i want to see Abha’s baby
– i will complete 5 yrs of marriage this feb!!
{Response in bullets too!!}
Great Monu….am so glad u started yoga…keep doing !!! 🙂
I was also maid-less for a week, but found someone yday. Thats why I able to login. Imagine, hospital duty + no maid – the house was a mess.
Hope u had a wonderful time during ur anniversary. My best wishes to both of you. 🙂 🙂
