A few things that weren't on the agenda that happened successfully anyway

# Acquire a morbid fear of death by road accident

# Come across as a very chamathu tam brahm girl.

# Spend a night at the hospital.

# Dad's mango milk shake.

# Eat at an overpriced restaurant and then observe that I could have made it better.

# Realize one can never "become" rich enough to shop at South Ex, you have to be born that way.

# Realize I'll never be able to buy property in the city. Any city.

P.S: I saw that movie twice when I was a kid. I haven't seen it since. I wonder if anything new has happened since.

Phbbt!

aka Please Holdon. Blogger Break Taking.





Last exam tomo. After which I have 3 weeks of extreme rigor.

The Illiterate Scribe - Now in xkcd!

Complete with mouseover - text




P.S: Another blog post on an exam eve. Must be the caffeine. Or the idle mind.

P.P.S: The break is still on. Exams, you see.

Update- For those of you who do not know what or where xkcd is. Your non geekiness is forgiven.

Crosstalk

Conversation with Violet, who has been sitting about 7 feet across from me

RR: There is a ballad in my salad, And a sonnet in my bonnet. There is an ode in my abode, And a jingle in my Monet. In my tune, there is a rune, In my wrong, there is a song- What felt worse before verse, was a poem all along
Violet:who rote it?
RR: i read it in another blog; it was quoted there
Vi: gessd
RR: i think its the height of being glued to ur laptop, when ud rater type long and fast when u can actually just open ur mouth and talk

Vi: ya.....
(And the conversation continued on)

Me be taking a blogging break. It's just like a jogging break. (Ok, not so much, except for the rhyming part.) Too much vark, I say. I will leave you all with another of my little insights into life. (All true wisdom is found in my jokes, no?)

What is this world so full of care, there's no time to stand and stare. Except when you are window shopping, of course.

P.S: Maybe someday I will come up with something witty enough, and someone will finally love me
