Ready to post

“Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, 
   Whispering 'it will be happier'...”  by Alfred Tennyson

Do you believe in 'end of the world'? Ah! Me?? O! May be yes, but not today! :)

My New Year cards are ready to post. Are they rocking enough? Do let me know!

Hello Masterji

Oh Masterji!  I want to know where this masterji is located! He seems to be just superb!
I wanted to blog about this ad since the day I saw it for the first time, but today I do it!

Many would agree with me on how difficult is to rack your brains over the tailor to get things right. You tell him to do one thing and he does the other. You try to be as simple as possible but still he will complicate things on his own. You tell him long length kurta, and he will make it short. Story over! Nothing can be done to it now! You tell him to make a round neckline, he will make a pentagonal and moreover he will add his special comment that pentagonal neckline is in fashion. But, who shall explain him that you need no fashion but basics! You ask him to deliver it on a particular day and he would conveniently forget in-spite of reminding him for several times. And you would have noticed, no tailor notes down the minute instructions you are giving. And when asked why is he not doing so, he will proudly say "sab yaad rahega, madam!" DuH!

I hope this vodafone tailor delivers the net + chikan sleeve and the cris-cross back dori with no faults and alterations!
How I wish I would want this tailor!

Pebbly Thoughts

Over the past month, I've been to Crawford Market thrice and every time I've bought  pebbles for planters in my balcony. I have a few kilos of them now :) I want to make these pebbles into rocks... thinking of what and how the rocky-ness can  happen...?!
Stay tuned...

Moths??

Do you also have these uninvited guests on your walls as well? Tell me about them! I get super annoyed by these spirally flying moths and I feel that they will plunge into my ears or just dive in my freshly cooked curry. Aarrghh!! It is ok if they are stranded on the wall but it adds on to the task of sweeping the next morning. So this way or the other they do not stop their annoyance.

Well, the wall at my desk was their target last night. The wall had a scattered confetti look which I liked. But the liking was restricted for few minutes and I quickly took a picture of it.
What do you think? Does it make a different picture?
