The diary of a 'lonely' soul..


Spoiler alert! This post is not going to be as morose as the title sounds (Hopefully!)..

So.. Going out for lunch alone or rather eating alone is frowned upon.. People give you this weird look when they find you having lunch alone.. Well I love people's company at lunch as much as I love dining alone.. And to all you people who seem 'very concerned' about my being 'lonely' at lunch, please feel free to join my table.. Don't stare at me from a distance and look at me like I stole your kidney!

Anyway for those who think having lunch alone is not fun, guess what's even less fun.. Let me tell you.. It's being within hearing distance of a couple having lunch together and listening to their nonsensical conversation but not being able give them your sarcastic responses..

So recently I felt like having a 'Happy meal'.. And so I went to this outlet near my work place.. For a change the place was not as crowded as it usually is and I was able to get my order within a matter of a few minutes.. I was enjoying my burger and reading an online article about the latest flagship phone, when a couple came and sat at a table opposite me.. They were a regular couple.. Not the flashy loud couple resorting to PDA.. Totally inconspicuous.. So what drew my attention to them was when they went to collect their order and then began their 'conversation' the excerpts of which are as below..

GIRL: This is unhealthy food
BOY: Burger is made of bun.. It's not unhealthy
GIRL: Burger is made of bun.. Bun is made of maida.. Maida is unhealthy..
GIRL (again!): French fries are unhealthy..
ME (silently): Thanks for taking the 'happiness' out of my 'Happy meal'.. By the way you're at the wrong place.. You should visit the nearest 'Eat fit' outlet.. Lost your way?



BOY: What's your weight?
GIRL: 70 kgs
GIRL (again) : I'm not going to go above 70 kgs..
Me (in my mind): Heh heh heh.. Yeah we all said that.. We're never going to above 70 kgs.. Then burgers were invented.. Lol

And my advice to all the guys in the world.. You never ask a woman what her age is.. Also you never ask a woman what her weight is.. And my advice to women reading this.. When someone asks you about your age or your weight, you lie (without flinching!)
And yes! you guessed that right.. That girl was not 70kgs..heh heh heh


BOY: They were all at my place.. And they were talking some shit.. And I was so irritated.. I wanted to slap him on his face..
GIRL: (silence) Because she was busy stuffing her face with french fries..
Me (in my mind) : Dude.. A slap is generally associated with the face.. Unless you're watching a particular genre of films.. I'll stop at this..

Well I'd reached saturation point listening to their conversation.. I quickly gulped my coke and left..

Note to self: next time carry your earphones so you can listen to Adele croon 'Someone like you'... Instead of listening to dumb boys and healthy but unhappy girls harping about healthy eating..

Happy Birthday Mummy :-)

Today would've been Mummy's 64th birthday had she been here with us.. However like she said, it's always the best people that get called to heaven early on.. So she's celebrating her birthday in heaven along with my brother..  My Mummy was a wonderful woman who enjoyed the simple pleasures of life.. a homecooked meal, reading books, stitching, embroidery, knitting and she loved tea and had endless cups of tea in a day..  She was an excellent cook and enjoyed cooking for her family.. Even when she made normal stuff like maggi it tasted just out of this world..  So I inherited none of her homely' hobbies, but I inherited her love for books.. She was a well read woman and had an excellent memory.. And she was an excellent teacher and was well respected and loved by all her students.. She was strict with me and my brother.. More so with me.. She had high expectations of me and growing up I had very little margin for error.. I used to resent it that she was so strict and...

Types of friends we all have.. (A friendship day special post)

First of all, a very happy Friendship day to all of you.. I think you have read enough quotes and seen enough reels depicting the importance of friends/friendship in our lives so I won't give you any more 'gyan' on the subject.. But the occasion calls for a customary blog post so I decided to pen down a few thoughts.. I've come a long way from being that naive girl who believed that 'Friendship is forever'.. "Friends forever" is something I scoff at now.. that's probably the cynic in me speaking.. But I've also come to realise that people come into your life at the exact point in time when you need them.. These people turn into friends and then long after they're gone still stay in your life albeit just as memories, but not without leaving a lasting impression on you..   Today I take this opportunity to thank all these different types of friends (some of who are still in my life and some who are not) who decided to adopt me as their friend ...

RAAZ PICHLE JANAM KA

A popular channel is telecasting a prog wherein a person is helped, to find out the reason for his/her problems by going into his/her past life through hypnosis. i was told about the concept of the programme by a colleague. even though i hadnt watched the programme just the description of the programme sent shivers down my spine.. although when i actually watched the programme i was bitterly disappointed. the programme was exactly how she described.. the person being taken back into his past to try and locate that particular instant in his life that left a lasting impact on the person.. The plot till here is ok.. but i just dont seem to understand how an incident can have a lasting impact so deep that it penetrates through the future births of the person too.. a little over the top i should say.. The concept of re birth has been debated over the years.. a lot of research too has gone into this field.. and a whole lot of people can vouch for the fact that sucha thing does exist.. i resp...
