"Oh, and World Peace..definitely"

If I were a beauty-queen, that is what I would have to want. At least to have a good shot at the title, that is! Well, apart from the impossibly proportioned body and impeccable makeup, of course. And the clothes. And shoes. And all that jazz....

But since I am a Rockin' Girl Blogger, thanks to Vee, I am going to want a whole different bunch of croissants (Hey, my acceptance speech, my blog, my choice of nouns!). Some of these will be actual croissants...the chocolate-filled variety (what, haven't you been reading this blog?!)...and others will be more non-food in nature. Like stopping female foetocide, more literacy for the girl child, more takers for orphan adoption, stronger law enforcement and weaker social prejudices. And this is just to start with....!











Now it's time to wear the sash, pop on the tiara and scoop up the bouquet. And hand the baton over to these other rockin' women....:

Sujata over at blogpourri
DiTty over in the fishbowl
Namrata over in Boston

I love reading their blogs, and hope you do too... Rock on, Ladies.

"..not called Power Moo-Cow"

It's been a while, and I can once again feel the urge to crack 'em knuckles and pound out a post...just wish I had more time in which to do that!

Work has been...interesting, and certainly keeping me on my toes. Travel has been picking up, for certain. Off late it has been more small-town India and not so much of the Metros. Which is fine, except morning-evening dashes into and out of a place are best not considered. Most places are connected only by the budget airlines or by road (so my tail is protesting a whole lot more these days!) and the whole trip just takes that much longer. Still, am getting to see a whole bunch of places I may not have visited otherwise...

The rains are back and this burg is starting to strangle itself all over again. One evening burst of rain and a 20 minute run demonically transforms into a 90 minute one. Probably the worst part of the those 90 minutes is having to keep switching radio stations because you can find no good music...where have all the good songs gone?! Oh, and my knee will soon need surgery from all the stress of constant pedal-stomping...clutch-brake-clutch-brake-clutch-BREAK!

The upside is that 'rents are coming back after a loooooooooooong trip overseas...it's been 4 months since I saw Mom! So, tomorrow night shall be a stake-out at the airport waiting for them to arrive.

Oh, frig...I had almost managed to forgot the smegging rain. You know...I love a good downpour with the whole drama of lightning flashes and thunder drumrolls...that is good macho weather flexing it's muscles for you. What I hate is whiner weather....drip drip drip and constant drizzle. Oh, go find your spine why don't you! Sheesh!

Upside again...am hoping Pops will be packing pain-au-chocolate...Oh yum! If anything can banish the rainy-day blues, it's the prospect of biting into a warm roll with a gooey chocolate center.....**sigh** :o)

Happy 60th...

...Jai Hind

Day One & Counting

The Faz is off again, for a 3-month stint, this time. Talk about withdrawal symptoms....(sort of like having PMS, only, without the M...!)

Yenivays, am sure once the initial blues wear off, I will slip right back into bachelorette mode and make the most of all this ME time :oD

Which same will mean lots of movies (good thing the mux is right next door!), music, cooking experiments (Katz, Polz, Anj, your gift shall finally get used), tons of reading...oh, and lots of messing about with the decor in the house.

Sheeeeesh....how domestic does all that sound!!
