heyy quick post:

india still fun so far, hopefully won't wear out soon. diwali looks like it'll be quite fun because finally i get to see one of these parties at the apartment my grandparents live in. there're lotsa kids here and they do a sort of show every year. my brother's taking part again, same as he did last year when he was here staying with the grandparents while i was back in singapore having my Os. if one takes O to mean the big O (as in orgasm, dumbo) then that sounds really bad. any reference to the Os sounds bad.

today i discovered an appreciation for cooked tomatos and cafe lattes. i'm finally enjoying coffee. took me long enough, but my mom's not happy because so far my non-enjoyment of coffee made her think i might be nice and healthy so now she's going to do all it takes to make sure i don't get addicted. ie no more 5-hour shopping trips punctuated by stopbys at barista/cafecoffeeday. (anyhow the diwali shopping's done so i predict less shopping in my future. atleast less generous mother although her own addiction to shopping means that the number of shopping trips are unlikely to decrease, but then again she might go alone and make me stay home and study =[) i like indian cafes. good food, good coffee, incredibly cheap. can you imagine a cup of good coffee that costs less than 2 dollars? besides coffee, i had a ton of rasam today because my grandma's just such a damn good cook. and lots of tomatoes. apparently cooked tomatoes are even healthier than raw ones.

about diwali shopping: i have a beauutiful long flowy crinkled silk skirt and a really nice orange and pink halter, as well as a deep pink sequinned chiffon stole to go with it. unfortunately my grandfather's and other relatives' conservative-ness means that the halter will not have a chance to be worn in india. so i have some other pink thing that my mom likes but i don't. ah well.
i really think my mother's going to institute a moratorium on shopping for me. not for her, probably, though. damn.. moratorium's such a nice gg-ish word. lorelai likes using it.

the newspapers are full of the karnataka film board putting a moratorium on the release of non-kannada films here!!! which means veer-zaara won't release in bangalore!!! shah rukh and preity zinta!!! what will i doooo. gah. there are always illegal vcds, i guess. sigh. but shah rukh on a screen. i saw a salesgirl yesterday (in fact, the one who sold me the pink top that i don't like) who looked a LOT like preity zinta. i like preity zinta.

my dad's coming tonight at midnight!
now i'm going to hand over computer to my mother and read some history or something. i get to wait for my dad till midnight cos i have to open the door when he turns up.
i will try and blog again sometime soon. bye for now, darlings!
