this new blog upgradation thing is stupid and unnecessary for most normal people....but for computer (un) savvy folks like me...its harrassment of the first order! they directed me from one page to another, and when i finally managed to access my blog, i didnt remember a thing they'd said earlier.

well anyway...first things first. i've finally joined driving school...much to my father's woe. (the man is convinced that i will destroy his car) i mean i'd been putting it off since class 12...but now...yipeee! i almost hit a man on my first day...but other than that i drove pretty well.

shorty bitch and smarty bitch are galavanting around in bombay at the moment, and my other friends are doing other very important things with their lives....like getting into MBA programmes, designing all kinds of beautiful clothes etc etc etc. o n my sister's moving to london. (what fun!)...but, but, but....i'm not sitting idle myself....i'm making (several) very significant changes in my life...

for starters, i'm taking inspiration from cosmopolitan magazine! O.. dont even think about rolling your eyes, screwing up your nose and muttering "ditzy"...i tell you, i've learnt more from that magazine, than all my 17 yrs of education put together. health, sex, money matters, fashion....whatever your query may relate to...cosmo knows it all!

no seriously though...i quit some of my major bad habits after reading cosmo...

a) for almost a week now, i'm sleeping without my nightlamp on...something that would've been unimaginable to me earlier. i was scared of the dark. now, miraculously, i've stopped being scared. say what u like, but i call it an achievement.
b) i'm going for evening walks everyday, with my dad. okaay...this has 2 great advantages: you gradually lose weight, AND you get to bond with daddy!
c) i've actually stopped giving a shit. no more pretending. you try to make something work..no...honestly try...after a point if u see that its not gonna happen...just drop it. seriously. anything...any relationship...whether romantic, or platonic shouldnot cause more grief than joy...nothing's worth so much stress
d) i have (i think) finally said 'bye' to the cancer stick. i mean...if its an odd joint at somebody's place...thats fine..rite? but other than that, ciggies are out of my life. mr. chidambaram infact helped me make up my mind, by hiking fag prices.
e) i've drastically cut down on the time that i spend, wallowing in self pity. now i allow myself just one, 20 min (approx) attack a day. o and i'm SO not jealous of the wonderful things that people i know are doing...i've cut down on that too. as jennifer aniston would say..."i'm 80% happy for them!"

but there's one thing that not even cosmo could help me with. my intrinsic propensity to snoop. i'm snooping all the time, and coming across all kinds of ...(cliche alert..) 'demons from the past'. why the hell do i do it? why cant i just leave it be?...o well

i got loads of study material from Gem today. since i'm not gonna touch my part 2 books before mid march, i might as well read this crap load now.

on a completely arbit note...its day 10 today...all i can say is, we're both crazy!

i love steinbeck. did i ever tell you i love steinbeck? i'm gonna read (on jat yamla's recomendation) all the short stories that i can find. i still cant decide which i like better though...'of mice and men', or grapes of wrath...i want to be a truck driver for a while

o by the way shorty, n sudu...if u guys are reading this...JY's last class was pheno-bloody- menal! i'm..(blushinging profusely) in love all over again...will give u the details when i see you! he said something that he's NEVER said before!...right...now that we've established that i'm sycophantic...we can move on to something else...

ok...wait..my mom's getting hyper...i have to go for lunch..so bye..more later
