in the heat of the moment...

i dont know if i should clog my blog with serious posts on nuclear proliferation, communal backlash or some such crap, or if i should try and make my uninteresting life seem interesting.
i choose the latter.

but i realise this is no easy task. what was i doing 'blogless' when i had some exciting moments to talk about! anyway.

so, its the wedding season now, but pray why? isnt it bloody hot to think of getting married? and if you are a tam-brahm, finished!!!!! spare a thought for the bride, people. i know of so many tying the knot this month and the next. one of my friends got engaged this month, 2 of my cousins getting married this week. and one friend next month. hmm...talk of splendid timing.

but yeah weddings in general are fun. heat or no heat. of course, i hate the crowd. but if its a close person's wedding, there's lot to do and look forward to. the singing, the colour, the sarees, the men to check out, the food, the swirling gossip, more colour...

and my mom has gone crazy with me talking all the time about what i should wear for my cousin's wedding. wow am i excited or what. hello. is this really me? a few years ago, i would have scorned at the idea...

btw i am supposed to sing at my cuz's wedding. gosh have developed cold feet already. i have never sung in front of many people before. testing waters at a wedding??? hmmm.. am not sure this is such a good idea.

just finished reading this book - the curious incident of the dog in the night time. a must-read! looking at life from the eyes of a differently abled person. shakes some of the beliefs we have. how often we take life for granted. those who have read this book, may we start a mini-discussion on it please? am dying to..

Have begun another book. this one something really light. a coffee table book actually. 'the chennai latte'. good for browsing through when travelling. i dont need to say that the book is about madras. its funny, but a bit verbose. the caricatures are funnier than the narrative. okay, now this reads like a book review.

god, i do need all the courage if i have to sustain my blogathlon. i seem to be struck with blogger's block in every para i write. (btw is blog a verb or a noun??). looking for all the inspiration that my co-bloggers can pass on. no, this is not a sneaky attempt at getting 'positive-sounding' comments for my post. but it will help if an unintended intention gets noticed. ;-)

ok, me got to get outta here.
