Rocky Road...

Ever notice how when you think your life’s getting to some semblance of order, something really silly and supposedly inconsequential will throw you completely off kilter? For instance, I had this really weird dream last night….(..like the dream I had the other night in which I was making out on a roller coaster! Anu’s (…mah soul-sistah and aura-cleanser extraordinaire!) interpretation of it was that my subconscious feels I’m in a rocky relationship …the boyfriend just figures we need to get kinkier! Talk about taking stuff literally!!! But I’ll get back to the dream at hand…) the bedroom closets we’d ordered were delivered with the wrong wood finish laminate. My cupboards..(in my dream that is..) did not match the rest of my furniture! I then proceeded to get up and start an all-lights-blaring-at 4-in-da-morn hunt for my rings which I eventually traced to a bathroom shelf..(..having hastily abandoned them there earlier preceding my bath)..before falling noisily back into my warm bed where I slipped effortlessly back into some much needed r.e.m.

Stupid dream, I know, but it’s kinda left me feeling restless. And not only about the meaning of the dream and its implied transgressions but the fact that my subconscious apparently now uses mismatched furnishings as iconography to flash warning signals! I am not that person!!! Am I becoming that person? Haaaalp! I always pegged my subconscious to have a little more oomph really…you know…more zing! I miss those dreams I used to have…fluorescent blue ice-cream cones, me as spider man spinning webs all over my living room, big black cats on huge spot lit chess boards! Now, it’s just mahogany cupboards in neutral browns and the likes. How vanilla am I? (although I guess it’s a step up from ‘rocky road’ no?)

The past couple of months have been kind of a blur really. There’s been so much to blog about and no time in which to actually get down to it! The new job is fun…although it affords me absolutely zero time to myself. I’ve been catching up..(albeit in small doses) with the Bombay junta. So far I’ve managed to visit Shiro (Dilli’s pre-pre-pre-birthday bash), China House (free alcohol courtesy the ‘celebs’), Mangi Fera (excellent smoked salmon ceaser’s salad), Royal China (..they have an all-you-ca-eat dimsum lunch for 425 plus taxes that’s absolutely out of this world!), Seijo (to die for hot chilli sauce & two taste tenderloin steak) & Zenzi (an all time fav). My new apartment (its in Kalina, by the way, which is in Santacruz, East…I’m a ‘burban’ people!!) is great when it comes to being centrally located...(takes me pretty much a half hour to go to most places, including work…)…but definitely not the best place when it comes to ordering in! I’ve also gone and painted one wall of my living room a bright shiny gold..(yeth it’s Delhi-babe with the underwear on the outside!!!) which actually looks pretty good if you ask me! Now I need to decide on what poster to put up on there. The two finalists are “the kiss” by Klimt on a 3’ x 2’ canvas and “Sunflowers” by Van Gogh ( I’ve been a little over exposed to “starry starry night”) both of which I’m posting on the blog as well. Pllllleeeaaaase help me decide!!





And on yet another bright note, my niece and god-daughter Amelia (sprung forth of the Fabulous Nish-pish loins urf “Kramer”...its just the hair!!!) is now holding her head up all by her little self! How cool is that! Pretty soon she’ll be all growed up! Have also been awarded the extreme privilege of shooting photographs of her for posterity …which I shall get to this upcoming weekend. Watch this space peoples!





More when it happens!
