Today:

I ate-
  • 1 plate of papayas and guavas with cold coffee and almonds for breakfast
  • 2 grilled chicken cheese sandwiches at Blue Sky Cafe for lunch
  • 2 chicken momos, half of a chicken cutlet and a glass of mango milkshake with sugar in the evening
  • 2 gulab jamuns from Dhaka Mishtanna Bhandar just because.
  • Biryani and oily chicken bharta from Aminiya. Cucumber raita for dinner
Clearly, I'm going to regret this later. Have not been running or working out in 3 days because of my stupid left foot. Such a completely pointless injury- I don't even get to be cool like House and pop Vicodin like a pro. In fact, I don't even think you get Vicodin in India.

I bought-
  • 1 extremely sexy blue dress which just fits. It is probably the sexiest thing I have ever bought, and it's not even that skimpy, it's just how it looks. The back, and the cut and- And also T coerced, threatened, bullied me into buying it. 
  • 1 hippie looking Indian top/kaftan thing which looks nothing special but fits like a dream.
I am now mildly terrified to wear these in public.

I let- 
  • 3 metro trains pass me by since they were non a.c, while hoping, praying and making dramatic gestures at Fate and the Kolkata Metro Service. T gave me company till she got too tired to wait any more, so we got on a stuffy metal box and clanked our way home. She got off, put both palms against the glass and made more dramatic clutching gestures while everyone stared and I looked as heartbroken as Preity Zinta when Aamir Khan left on the subway in DCH.
  • An ex vent to me about his ex. And then proceed to give me elementary lessons about the act (no, not like that you pervert).

I listened to
  • Jefferson Airplane's 'Somebody to Love' on loop, over and over again. 
  • The endless rambling of the muttering Tamilians on my bleeding transcription files
  • Ajeeb Dastaan played on the cellphone loudspeaker of some middle aged creep at the metro who kept not so discreetly staring at my shorts clad legs. Oh well. T and I danced to it, and it helped us  pass the time while the trains kept marching on.
  • My brother make yet another excuse about how the cycle thing just isn't happening
I missed
  • someone in a different country, someone in the same city but light years away, and someone who has run off to another city 
I still have to
  • do 2 and a half files of transcription which are due at this time tomorrow
  • brush up on biochemical identification of bacteria
  • write my report on UPEC characterization
  • finish up PD3's assignnment. 
Fuck it. I'm going to have another gulab jamun.

Edited to add: New words made official in their existence

  • Lanywayose: lose it all anyway
  • Demiboyfriend: one tenth of a boyfriend
  • Afkliethrn: when you feel so zoned out/ high that only a new word can describe your level of zoned-out-ness

Me too, man. It's nice to be back and writing though all I have been doing is writing inane posts. Oh well. Someone has to do it :D
And the food shall be the death of me! Not complaining though- after constant instant noodles and Pizza day in day out in Canada, being home and having this stuff to guzzle is like heaven :)
You should make a list! Make this one! DO IT. I want to see what your typical day looks like. We could make this a tag =D
And all comments from you are welcome, always.
