It seems ages ago when I was in college. I was looking at some of the photos I took back then and I wish time was always on my side so that I could return to the days that I loved best.

Last night wasn’t the most fun, but it was a lasting experience. My house was, after a long time, finally alive with the loud laughter of people relaxing and trays of food whizzing past me. John, Jim, Bryan, Adam and me did a lot of talking and we stuffed ourselves (okay, I did the stuffing) with some homemade biryani. We were a little lost when we heard John sing Elvis’ ‘Love Me Tender’ (he’s the best Elvis impersonator I know.). That was one of the last lovely moments I had before they left for their hotel. Bryan and Adam, were equally interesting to get to know. Both of them studying, with a great love of life, art and the small pleasures that each day affords. Adam goes back to the US in a week or so to get married. He’s so young but is so sure of what he wants and he's smitten. He's smitten, I'm envious.

I feel I ought to be mentioning some of the movies I've seen recently:

- Papillion (Took a lot of breaks during the movie. It was more than I could stomach.)

- Employee of the Month (how could anyone not watch this. hehe.)

- License to Wed (not so good. Sorry, Robbie.)

- Volver (It was all right. Expected so much more.)

I came upon a San Diego band called ‘My American Heart’, quite unexpectedly. ‘The Shake (Awful Feeling)’is one hell of a song. If anything, the album should be obtained just for that one track. They’re practically unheard of, but that's where I come in, ready to unearth a few favorite goodies for the sake of the greater good.

To Bryan, Adam, John n Jim:

Passings

I have been shouted at many times by numerous friends about not turning up at celebrations and not being able to make plans. So for all of my friends that I haven’t been able to see in awhile, I really do miss all of you. I miss the bitching sessions, the bimbo conferences, the shopping, the boy talk, the pigging-out sessions and long telephone conversations. When I get home from work I am just so tired that I don’t have the energy to do anything but bury my arse in the soft couch at home and do nothing. My dear cronies, please continue to include me in your invitations even if I don’t always turn up, you are constantly in my thoughts.

There are so many things I want to catch up on, just to list a few so if any of you reading know the answers, please keep me updated:

1) Ho Ash! Any changes to your overactive social life since the last time we met? ;)

2) Pratz! I miss you baby! Will you be coming down to India soon and have you been to any undiscovered locations yet?

3) Cath, how are you getting on in Canada?

4) Anybody discovered some new exciting places for food and shopping?

Chatted today with an old friend from college who never fails to make me laugh out loud. Miss S., I would join your crazy hunt if you really do decide that there’s a man who comes close to fulfilling your list of 7 must-be’s!

The above are just a few things that popped into my mind as I write this. Now, I need to get back to work again and to Ella Fitzgerald…'When i get low, I get high'
