New Girl In The City - Post 2


Why is Bangalore different/better/worse than Bombay?

1. The clubs shut at 11:30 pm, unlike Bombay, where the cut-off is anything after 2:30 am. But a good thing about partying in Bangalore is, that after you are done with 2 drinks, a little leg-shaking on the really sad music played by the wannabe DJ and making fun of the way some people let themselves loose on the dance floor, you can go for a smooth drive with some superb Punjabi tracks playing in the car. And then on the elevated highway to E City, you can roll down the window till you can feel the cool breeze in your hair. You can do the same on the Bandra Sea Link, except that you won't be able to enjoy it half as much, considering you'll be too busy covering your nose from the stench :|

2. Last week, I did my first photo shoot with Ogilvy. We were shooting at the mall, and I kinda broke the ice with the guy model (I always find female models way too snooty, so I maintain my distance). It was amazing to see someone who had his feet firmly on the ground, and he was kinda cute, too :P Am kidding. Jokes apart, I guess what I'm trying to say here is that Bombay somehow injects a sense of vanity in upcoming models; unlike Bangalore. Whose models are still down-to-earth, friendly, still feel attached to their moms and pets, and still manage to maintain the level of how desirable they are! :P

3. OK seriously, why is it soo surprising for most of you that I've signed up for belly dancing classes?! I mean, come on!! You know I dance decently; you even know I did 2 levels with Shiamak. And the only reason I didn't continue it was that I had noo time at all. It was like, Monday to Friday all I had time and energy for was work. And most of the weekend was spent in recovering from the week's torture. But it is soo not like that in Bangalore!! True that weekdays are spent sweating it out at work, but I feel like getting stuff done over the weekend. I want to make use of whatever time I have. Be it meeting friends, clubbing, getting a drink, painting from a kit I bought at Mother Earth, going belly dancing, whatever!! Its like a new, slightly less lazy version of Ishi :P :)

More in the next post.

P.S.
One thing sucks about Bangalore, though. I miss my hottie (the one I mentioned about in my last post?) a lot. What's even worse, we are not even talking. Argh this truly sucks :( I don't feel like talking about it :|

P.P.S.
If you are reading this, this 30 day thing is killing me :|

Ego v/s Soul

We get angry. We blame. We are cold. We are stuck-up. All because of the ego. We are proud. We are mad. We are jealous. We resent. All because of the ego. We deny. We are hostile. We feel victimised. We are materialistic. All because of the ego. We think of the past and the future. We feel chaos. We complain. We feel important. All because of the ego. We are intolerant. We fight. We separate. Ego - 1. Soul - 0.

1 year & 8 months later! And may I just say - I HAVE managed to snag quite a few from that list ;) most important ones being numbers 48, 46, 44 (oh 44!! <3), 43, 25, 19, 17, 16 & 15 :D As a handsome young man once said, love is infinite & so are wish lists. So, here goes mine :) 50. Very few people know I was part of my school band - and even fewer people know I was one of the lead vocalists. And how I miss singing now! Each time I visit a karaoke bar, I wish I could go up & sing. But then a wave of nervousness washes over me, and I kill the wish :| Gimme the the guts, God! And glory, too! :P 49. Week-long holiday in Goa. In the monsoons. I've heard Goa is at its gorgeous best then :) 48. Now that I've gotten myself inked, I want it to heal faster. I miss sleeping on my back!! P.S. The design looks something like this :) 47. All-expense paid trip to Greece!! 46. A rainy day @ Chaipatty - with my closest friends. Ah bliss. 45. Fol...
