there are a few things i'd like to say.

. my mum is going to make rocky road ice-cream. she wants small marshmallows. that is all.

. i love killing mosquitoes and have gotten very good at it manually. unfortunately to this day in my life, i have not killed that huge kind of mosquito you find everywhere. the dangerous big one. i bet it has alot of blood in it. i would like to kill that manually one day. the reason i say manually is because in india, you get this thing called a electonic mosquito swatter, that zaps and basically burns the mosquito to death. that thing is awesome because, well, its' awesome. the instructions on the swatter said, 'discard the carcasses properly'. i laughed alot at that. i love killing mosquitoes that have recently bit me. because when their blood is splayed on my hands, i feel like o yeah, it's come back where it went from. HUUUAA!

. i love telephones. i love talking on telephone, specially wireless ones. we only recently got a wireless one, about 2-3 years back, and its awesome. when i was a kid, i used to want it so bad! specially the white long-antennae ones. they were the coolest. such a sense of thrilling independence. to this day, in my 10-year old mind, its the coolest thing ever. i love talking on the telephone, spending hours talking to someone and just being on the phone. i think in the future my phone bill will be higher than my electricity bill, because what i'll save up for in not wasting electricity, i'll make up for talking on the phone. it doesn't mean i favour phone interactions more than personal, but i love talking. and phones. so its all good. i also love those old clamshell flipping, whatever-you-call-it phones. i remember when i was a kid i wanted one of those so bad, i was almost aching for it. but i never got one. so instead i substituted that with my old Genaire air-condition remote. it was black in body, and had an orange on/off button, and to access the panel of controls you had to flip the remote horizontally open, like a book cover. i spent hours talking to my imaginary friends on that. a few years back we got a York air-conditioner installed in my bedroom, and with that i got a new remote. that new remote now slides. i still talk on it.

. i love being in an air-conditioned surrounding. some air conditioners even have this cool little smell thing. i love that. i love air-conditioners.

. i finally remember the confession i had to make that didn't quite work out earlier. the confession is that when im ultra-bored, i go to people's profiles on facebook, people who's birthday it is that day, and count the number of fb wishes they have gotten. because i am ultra-bored that way.

. i love cupcakes.

  1. Honey, why didn't you just talk to your real friends? I have imaginary conversations all the time but I don't use props... Your mum makes ice-cream?!?! You're so lucky...

  2. imaginary friends are very agreeable.
    (:

    and yes, she kind of does. she made this thing the other day called 'kulfi'. you know, indian ice-cream?

    and she's also made cake using ice-cream. like proper fluffy vanilla cake.

    she's a genius sometimes.

  5. Vapid is not a very nice word... It means insipid...

    Is Kerala known for kulfi?

  6. no, not really.
    its known for its coconut water.
    and coconut and fish dishes.
    and its pepper exchange and houseboats and the serene Vasco da Gama dream.

    but im sure you'd get kulfi there. kulfi's a more North Indian speciality.

  7. dude, why do you love air conditioners when you rarely on them? XD

    count the amount of bday wishes?? you must be REALLY REALLY bored!

    i dont know about imaginary friends but i talk to myself all the time. if people are around i just do it in my head but when im alone i do it out-loud. quite embarrassing but its fun :S and keeps me sane.

  8. shattap!
    first of all, its when you rarely SWITCH them on.
    second, i DO switch the a/c on, but im usually cold. you know how quickly i turn into ice.
    third, shattap. its called being ultra-bored.
    fourth, yeap. i have an internal monologue too. its brilliant and is very mean and catty. definitely not what you'd expect from sweet ol' me.
