I’ve been a bad blogger I know…. blame it on the broadband connection that I STILL DON’T have. Yes ppl, I love you’ll so much, I’m blogging through telephone. Mario thx for asking after me, hope some of you others also missed me? hint hint??
Anyway without going into too much detail, will just post a couple of pics from things I’ve recently enjoyed:
Like the day I spent at Inorbit Mall – was great fun; shopped, shopped, shopped!
And ate, ate, ate! There’s a fabulous ‘Nando’s’ in their food court and I couldn’t help myself… ate the Chicken Espetada and also got one of their famous Grilled Chicken Burgers to take home. Yes, with lots of Peri Peri. And then called up my dear in Australia to tell her that she’s no better off than I am 
Incidentally the whole trip to Inorbit (meals et al) was a belated birthday gift from someone special… awwww muah muah!
Here’s another fun night I had – a PJ Party with the chicks! Would have posted more pics but this blog is family rated, lol…
Lots of great movies in the city at present, been a tad busy with work last week & this one so planning on checking them out next week, especially Pirates & Over the Hedge. Will do the reviews then, another thing I haven’t done in a while.
Some bad news I received recently – apparently God has given me lots of wisdom that I haven’t been using and so TWO of my wisdom teeth have to go – and since they’re impacted (i.e. below gum level, happens where there’s no more place in one’s mouth for more teeth) I have to do TWO minor surgeries – and since one is pretty bad apparently I don’t even get to do it in one sitting, you guessed right, have to do it TWICE.
On the upside though, I hope this will stop family and friends (humph!) alike from calling me a BIG MOUTH because apparently I haven’t got one, sigh.

Awww! Those tooth surgeries are never good…i am not trying to scare you…but well…you know…it was really nice knowing you Mel.
*tch tch*
July 26th, 2006 at 9:13 pm
Ooooooh.. poor Mel losing her wisdom (teeth, that is). Anyway, your big mouth seems justifiable looking at the PJ party pic
Pirates rocks Btw.
And thankee loads for askin after me, Mel
I know I’ve been keepin you company in the ‘bad bloggers’ list recently… Life’s been pretty down - nothin much to blog about… Will start soon 
July 26th, 2006 at 9:53 pm
hey mel,
have been kinda busy lately. not been able to read the posts of one of my favourite bloggers (yes, u!)
that chicken in the pic looks totally awesome! and good luck fr yr surgeries.
July 26th, 2006 at 9:54 pm
oh, n b4 i forget, the lady nxt to the chicken looks damn cute, too!
July 26th, 2006 at 9:59 pm
Mel,
sorry about the surgeries, boy do I hate going under the knife.
On a brighter note, girl you’re so cute. Any hotter and the room’d be on fire. As much as I like my food and Meat, you’re the only thing (no insult intended) worth looking at in that pic
July 26th, 2006 at 10:28 pm
@ dev: I just KNEW some wise ass would crack that joke… Still that fact that you’re still alive (where have you been dude???) makes me wanna forgive you (not sure about next time tho)
Have heard only great things about Pirates, am scared I’m gonna go expecting the world and be dissapointed. Then again, story or not, there’s always Johnny & my Bloomy baby to oogle at
And if I may… Here’s a HUG for you… may your downs go UP from now!
@ Aparna: Woah! Am so honored to be in the Favorite Bloggers of Apy list… It was an honor just to be nominated and I wasn’t really expecting to make the list, it’s just such a TOTAL surprise… reaches for the pre-prepared list of ppl I wanna thank…
and MERCI, the chicken was super awesome & the lady next to it made a piggie of herself while eating it, good thing the pic was taken before, lol!
@ Luminus: Your first time here? Welcome!
Yeah, am slightly bummed about the surgeries myself… especially the fact that I have to do two. It’s like I have to give it a whole week to recover from the pain, swelling etc and then all the same crap again. Still, I know God will get me through it.
On the brigter note, lol… thx, the chicken might be insulted but this chick isn’t
July 26th, 2006 at 10:45 pm
u seemed to be having fun right up to the dentist part…
whens the surgery?
and whats thine email.. will have to try and catch u myself.. since u not trying the reverse!
July 26th, 2006 at 10:47 pm
July 26th, 2006 at 10:47 pm
That’s good to know.
How come you have to have 2 surgeries though, can’t they get both of them at once.
I’ll be praying for you though and you’re damn straight about God helping you through it. He didn’t bring you this far to leave younow, did he.
July 26th, 2006 at 10:51 pm
Thanks for the prayers, appreciate them really. And thx for what you said about God, totally agree, nothing can or ever will separate me from His love!
July 26th, 2006 at 10:51 pm
checked and replied!
July 27th, 2006 at 12:04 am
I had to go and ask didn’t I. Urghh!!! Just reading the word Drill gives me the shakes.
No sweat about the prayers, it’s the least I can do, besides it’s the only time where my nonsense makes sense and is potent all at the same time.
Ditto about God’s love and I’m soooooo glad he’s real to you.

Is that chiken in that bowl, looks more like yogurt to me.
July 27th, 2006 at 4:58 am
Rahul pay attention that picture is an optical illusion, the chicken is not in the bowl, it’s hanging on the skewer. heh! I guess you got distracted bythe other chick.
July 27th, 2006 at 10:54 am
What is Moi? or is it MIA.
July 27th, 2006 at 11:34 am
@ Rahul: No it’s a salad. There’s a choice of salad or rice with the Chicken Espetada and since it was anyway too much for me to eat I thought I’d go with the salad.
@ Mario: Totally lol-ing on the optical illusion bit!!
‘Moi’ is French for ‘Me’.. so the post really means “What’s Up with me” in a my own silly way.
July 27th, 2006 at 7:24 pm
Awww… thanks. You made my day.
After my last post, quite a few friends have been wantin posts about them now… so I might be back to bloggin by the weekend.
July 28th, 2006 at 1:37 pm
Wow. U really went all that way up, past Lokhandwala, to the gujarat border to In Orbit.
just kidding
July 28th, 2006 at 5:50 pm
@ SloganMurugan: Hey! It’s been a long time… hope you’re doing good! Yes, the trip was a long one, had my visa done et al
July 28th, 2006 at 6:06 pm

July 29th, 2006 at 12:33 pm
Seems like you had a great day at Inorbit! And that skewer hanging with food looks yummm!!!
July 30th, 2006 at 2:13 am

July 30th, 2006 at 2:16 am
One more thing we share in common..my wisdom teeth in my lower jaw too are stuck below the skin , so my pretty lady dentist wants to rip them out and make me a Wise man..

Hey Mel,
.. nah me not an astrofreak either…
am not much of a blogger.. nor do I visit many.. kinda stumbled on ur blog through a series of events (.. possible the stars were in pefect alignment with the 3rd moon of jupiter…
just want to say, that your blog got me hooked.. yes .. its a monday morning.. am at office.. just done with lunch ..finishing of the last vestiges of a pack of smarties (yup i am addicted to them Gems - SShhhh.. ) and enjoying going through your literary potpourri..
If the stars align again.. we’ll probably catch up again sometime..sooner if not later.
until then keep up the great work and good luck on ur wisdom teeth surgery *painful - and yet so gratifying after the deed is done*
Cheers

July 31st, 2006 at 7:17 pm
Incidentally, am also so into smarties - and no, haven’t gotten the teeth done yet. The pain’s gone, perhaps temporarily & I’m gonna be an ostrich and try pretend since I can’t see (feel) it, it’s not there…
