Mushroom soup for the soul

A day that started late... a disturbed night before that.. tired, depressed, sore throat, unwanted thoughts, senseless self promises n pointless realizations... one more day that was trying to teach me neither to look at the past or try peaking at the future... just b content for the moment! All this ofcourse is easy to preach... to just say 'be happy' n twantadaiiiinnnn... life is all roses!!!!!

A day which am sure would have made The Gods ponder to make things worse to atleast make me realize how happy i really should b at the moment...

Hmmm... a day that was hardly active.. all i wanted to do was sleep, sleep n sleep long... sleep is a wonderful medicine... time heals but it pains during that time... but sleep helps u wile off all that time faster aint it?!

So as always, a simple walk to the beach is the best medicine ever... just wear something comfy to walk n wear anything that will not call for any sort of attention from anyone... the best, uninterrupted self pampering that anyone cld give oneself... walk at a steady speed, sweat, b careful of all those bizarre vehicles, enough people to notice n ponder about n let my imaginations run wild about wat they were doing for life... like that sweet, little, round aunty walking on the street who mightve been a part of a circus co. (thanks to her super bright attire) n ended up marrying a doctor who met her while treating a hurt lion, with a scientist son wanting to become spider man.... aaahhhh.. BLISS i zay :)

Its funny making all these bubbles... thought bubbles to b more precise... all sorts of nonexistent irrelevant bubbles... making them only to break it n breaking it sometimes only bcos its been made... :) heights of vetti thanam...

While walking, bless the soul of all those besent nagar beach korathis making the best junk jewellery in the world... how beautiful they r just to watch at... bold, bright, different textures n designs, different varieties hanging everywhere under that lamp making them all the more magical... rather ethereal!

With all the magic n the bubbles n ofcourse the long walk, it was but obvious that my stomach started rumbling... n i was just outside gallopin gooseberry, the best burger joint in town! I walk inside, take a book out n decide to check on wat my best friend was upto... I call her n we talk for a while... she asks me wat i was upto n i tell her i was having dinner, alone, in beasent nagar beach... all hell breaks loose after that!!!!! though i found no reason y she shldve freaked so much, i definitely felt nicer after all that pampering :).. she even went to the extent of sending someone to GG n setting me with a blind date right then... after calming her n every1 else that she decided shld gimme company during that time, i had to order something to eat to escape the annoyed glance of the restless restaurant manager n the solitary waiter waiting for some work... time to direct all my attention to my still grumbling stomach!

My mushroom soup arrives finally... piping hot n wonderfully creamy with carefully sliced mushroom slices, coriander leaves, an awesome aroma n so soulful... It then struck me that nothing really mattered anymore than that mug full of mushroom soup!

Wat do i want in my guy?

The problem with irregular blogging is losing touch! one loses touch so much that its super hard to find something to write about even if one is in the mood to write...

So where do i begin? Since there is absolutely nothing that seems to strike me, lemme begin with this long pending tag! i remember being tagged eons back but no clues who tagged me...

According to Indian culture.. specifically the south indian culture, its quite an offense to say 'am no marriage material'... its all the more bad when all of a sudden everyone around me is either getting into rships, getting out of rships, getting married, having babies... its all part of the age factor but fortunately or unfortunately its been wonderful to have been just a spectator till now...

so when the tag was about 'wat do i expect from my guy' i decided to take a very mature (or do we call it romantic?!) stance initially, saying 'ill know when he comes around'...

But it all started when a music director that i respect n am very fond of asked me the same question, i jovially answered 'i have no clues'.. it was his turn to make fun of me saying its been more than a decade since he heard a 'modern girl' give such a reply... they r supposedly very clear about wat they want... later my parents get into the boy hunting thamasha n shoot the same question... am quite doubtful this time but give the same answer n they get annoyed! annoyed not bcoz i wasnt sure, but they didnt have the heart to leave the 'wat i expect' coloumn blank in my (their) shaadi.com profile (yuck!)

So as am tired of this routine n i myself am curious, no harm in thinking aloud i guess... ( but i still feel its impossible to state specifications! he is not gonna b some product i wanna buy for gods sake!)

First things first... Lemme start with my initial, superficial expectations
1. More than good looks its a gr8 positive confident attitude that pulls me... who cares about looks.. its all about the way he carries himself n looks at life!
2. Can u b tall pls!? atleast much taller than me...
3. Cleanliness is really really really important... n i zero down on the toe nails... if that aint clean, nothing else is clean...
4. I dont like ppl who dress up shabby n hate the ones that dress up too much(the muscle T, leather pants)! A smart white shirt n blue denim with a bit of stubble wld suffice! (Typical)
5. Finally... smell good!

So coming to my other (basic) expectations...
1. I love natural genuine ppl... always! U dont try impressing me n neither do i have to impress u... no pretence... its always nice to meet ppl with whom i dont have to b careful...
2. Flirts... i find so many that it sometimes gets boring... if u can flirt smart, wonderful! but i also find a few who finds it hard not to flirt... not my types at all! experience has taught me enough ;)
3. Conversations, sense of humour... if one has all that, they r supposed to be popular.. for me, i dont care... just b normal n dont try too hard!
4. I want my guy to b just simple n straight fwd

But at the end of the day all these r pretty name sake!

Guess ill still know only when he comes around!
