The Best Phone Call

. so Papa went to India recently for a few days, and just came back. he didn't call me or talk to me once. which is pretty weird because when i've had an exam, i always get a phone call (he's always magically away when i have my final exams/assessments going on) asking me how i did on the exam and whatnot. but i didnt receive a single call from him. until 2 days ago, when i had just exited the shower and was feeling all zen and calm. he asked me a simple question, "should i still buy brownies from the place even though its changed management?"

my one really major request was that i get my brownies from this place next to my home in bombay, called Open Bake, where they make the most delicious brownies that retail for rs.20. now, its sold out and changed management and become Chocolate Affairs (which i must check when i go back!). and i said yes.

. today i am the proud owner of two boxes of brownies, one chocolate chip the other walnut, worth around rm1oo. no, im not extravagant like that, i asked him to get me 10 pieces of each. so that's 2 boxes, 10 pieces each, you do the math. i shall show you what brownie brilliance looks like soon.

. i also got my pikniks (1o packs instead of the 2 i asked for), which are these kick-ass tomato chips. bombay best hai boss!

. on the matter of linguistics i find it imperative to express that i love using o in place of your conventional zero (0) and that i wish people would use the & sign more often in daily texts or fb correspondence. because i love it.

. i was also considering naming this blog, 'this can be your happy place'. what do you think?

. in this particular moment, i feel very glad to be alive. i am very happy. blissful in fact.

. i wish someone, anyone, would send me a care package. i would love that.

. i also wish people would email or write me letters or postcards more often than send me fb messages. i dont like how fb messages are replacing emails. not cool zuckerberg. i love the feeling you get when you open new mail. i'd like an email.

. i would also like to use this post to document something very very important and historic. 

i am finally getting a HDD (hard disk drive). 

o yes. yes yes yes. yes yes yes. 

(air fist, fist pump, air hump, hump five, EVERYTHING and MORE!)

perhaps my happiness has to do with this, but seriously, if you know me and have seen me whine about how desperately i want one, you know what this means to me.

. attaining an HDD, also means that i get to cross off the very first thing from my Wish List! JJJJJYEAAAAAAH.
