My 25 Things

Everything that we plan, does not end up the way we want. This is exactly what I feared today. And exactly what I got. After spending a sleepless night tossing in bed, with fascinating thoughts in my mind about what I will wear on our gorgeous hang-out, I was heavily disappointed. Sneaking out of the class quietly, was one hell of a task. But search of a gratifying luncheon, was unexpectedly a more difficult one. From finding plastic in Sheroo's Mufuletta to a strand of hair in the parmesan-cheese stuffed chicken, we had it all wrong. Maybe we got up from the wrong side of our beds today. Nothing went in synchrony with our superb planning.

But never mind. This is part of life- to expect the unexpected. Whilst, we were trying to locate Eclipse in F-10/2 (when it was actually situated in F-10/3) my mind was cluttered with the most random thoughts. Thoughts that have been nagging my conscience since long. And by 'random', I mean RANDOM, which have no good explanation. And till the time I wont pen it down, I know they will hide somewhere deep in my think-tank, and I would never get rid of them. So here is the list of MY 25 Things.

1. I fancy Christmases more than Eids.

2. I am not a fan of chocolate. That is, I neither like nor hate it.

3. I am utterly in love with the English language. I don't mind reading any script as long as it is in English, irrespective of the fact what subject is it on.

4. I lapse into major depression when I eat high-cal food.

5. I want a flawless skin with a glorious complexion, though my skin is fairly good right now too.

6. I am a perfectionist by nature.

7. I do NOT have a best friend.

8. My definition of home is a deluxe living. I can NOT survive in austere surroundings.

9. Estee Lauder has the most breathtaking fragrances ever, that make up my ultimate favourites.

10. I am a big Foodie!! I believe in fashionable cooking. And nigella lawson is my idol cook.

11. I don't like gifts.

12. But I can never say 'no' to sweet smelling exotic flowers and a fancy tin of Danish butter cookies.

13. I have to have 7-hours of sleep even on the night before an exam. No compromise on my beauty sleep.

14. I get high after listening to good English classics.

15. I love my mom to bits. And cannot imagine myself anywhere on earth without her.

16. I am madly in love with Paris. And want to vacation there once every year.

17. Despite all the picturesque destinations on this planet, I will always choose to live in Clifton, by the Arabian sea. Because thats my 'home'.

18. I don't like to text, but then I detest those, who don't reply back.

19. I amend my wish-list every week!

20. I have been doing yoga for one year and now I am geared up to take it to the next level- Hard-core yoga.

21. I usually do not like the people in my social circle, or the people I hangout with.

22. I want to become an acclaimed English writer one day.

23. I am very optimistic to life in general.

24. I am heavily pampered by my mom. -_-

25. I seldom get bored, but when I do, I love to spend time with my Oxford dictionary.

Merry Holidays

Its a matter of immense bliss, to be blessed by an unusually long weekend, after a stretch of tiresome busy weeks. And to double the pleasure, this ones perfectly timed, since no assessment is scheduled in the near future. Regardless of the fact what the holidays were granted for, I am enjoying myself to the max!

On my list of things-to-do, I had to fulfill my religious duties, which were on pending for so long. Since the days are thankfully short nowadays, therefore, I thought of this time as a perfect oppurtunity to complete my fasts. This would also help me shed off extra pounds, provided I eat in moderation. Which did not happen yesterday, since I fed on some unnecessary bites, right before retiring to bed. Today, I am hoping to treat myself with every delectable in the kitchen, but again in minute portions. For this, I am going to design my meal in a Cajun layout, to rest assure that I have taken all the nutrients.

Discovery of some new episodes from Nigella, has made my holiday sensational. She has entertained me all the way with her chic cooking, and seed terrific party ideas in my mind for my girlfriends. I have, once again, fallen madly in love with leisurely cooking. And now I wish to host a spectacular feast in vogue. As we speak, I am receiving texts from Manto, who is fancying my mom's pizza bash, due tomorrow. How about if I invite her over? I am sure she would be overwhelmed.

Its been long now since I have rinsed the oil on my head, which must have sprout up a few roots by now. I must leave to take a warm bath in this bittingly cold weather, henceforth, I'll log in soon. Until then, Ciao!
