No countdown

I haven't hit the age where I want to stop counting down, but I also don't care to countdown. :)

I made pav bhaji!!! Yes, finally. I do like pav bhaji a lot and so when I went to the Indian store on Friday, I decided to pick up the pav bhaji masala and try out the recipe at the back. Not too difficult and turned out pretty good. Haha... I guess as long as there are potatoes with flavour, I'd be happy. =p

What was I doing at the Indian store? Well, actually I wanted to pick up a movie. I got reminded about how long it has been since my last Hindi movie and with the news about Shilpa Shetty and then Ash and Abhishek getting engaged, I wanted to watch a movie. I got "Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna" because Shahrukh was in it and the movie rental dude told me it is good. Did I like it? Yes and no. Its more my type of movie, without the extremely stupid jokes and it was more modern, however, I did not like some of the things the characters did. Later, I realized maybe I was a little harsh and maybe a bit judgemental. Maybe I should not impose my values on others and be more understanding of others. I know its just a movie, but still, things do cross my mind. :)

Yay, sun!

Yes, I live in Sea, a land with lots of rain, gloomy and drizzly days. And the last week has been filled with snow, ice and gloom. But not today!
Today is one gorgeous day!
Its like spring, except its too early for spring, but I feel exuberant. And today is the first day since a while, when I did not have anything major plan, except for tonight. And I am not doing anything major (work or otherwise). Feels GOOD!!

Have a beautiful day, everyone!

Snow

I do not miss the icy roads, but I do miss the pretty snow fall.
Yes, it is snowing here again. There is something wrong with the weather. Its not supposed to snow that much here. The snow falls and snow flakes look really beautiful though. Very soft. :)

I wish I can go out and play, but alas, I don't want to relapse into another cold. I'll just watch from my windows.

Wicked

Forgot to mention that I saw Wicked in London.
Got last minute tickets and sat in the very first row, albeit at the side. It was still REALLY good. Wicked is one of my favorite show, along with Phantom and Mamma Mia.
Both the main characters were extremely strong and you can see their expressions from the first row. loved it loved it.

Today, I re-learnt once again what it feels like to be walking on icy roads. It is not like T. here, as it doesn't snow that much generally and the snow does not stick around. But, we had quite a bit of snow lately and then its been really chilly after, so all the snow remained and the cold temperatures just freeze the melted water. Anyways, I had to walk, maybe 10 minutes and it feels strange. Feels like T. or W. actually. Walking slowly across the icy pavements with some cold breeze niping at your face. Actually, I found it amusing for the most part.

I hate stuffy nose. I remember hating it as a child and hating it as much now. Runny nose I can deal with, but not being able to breathe properly, argh! I guess I feel bad for people with breathing problems. I don't understand it, understand what could cause a blockage in your breathing or what could cause a fever. Grr... maybe I should research into it. Driving me crazy!!

ps. thanks, Na.
