Yesterday my parents went to Vijay Sales & among other things bought me an Electrolux Microwave (another belated birthday gift, thank you, thank you!). Particularly am pleased with all the additional stuff you get with it, like the recipe book & all the plastic dishes & yeah, the baker’s glove. This chick is set to become a baker for life!
Today went out with a shopaholic friend to the opening of the “Times Glamour 2006″ at Hotel Taj Land’s End. The event was inaugurated by Soha Ali Khan and some other dude - I’m guessing he’s probably in TV / films himself, judging by the fuss that was being made over the both of them.
The youngest Khan of the clan is so very short and imo (sorry!) nothing great to look at at all. She’s sweet looking, no doubt - but had she not been who she is, well then, she’d not be someone you give a second glance to. In fact you’d probably not look at her the first time either.
A funny thing that happened - the guards refused to give my friend & I passes to the event as they insisted “You’re with Soha Ali Khan, you don’t need a pass”. Geez, even nobodys with VIPs are given so much respect, this country really worships celebs too much.
The jewellery at the exhibition is TO DIE FOR - but after some time of so much opulence, it kinda grows on you & the extraordinary too seems just - ok, whatever. However if even if you can’t afford the stuff, it’s great fun to go have a look at. It’s on till the 13th and imo, worth going to. You can get a free passes at entrance after baggage check (or alternatively, go with Ms. Khan 
)
After all the glittering went antiquing - yeah, you’ve gotta love my shopaholic friend. I was already ready to call it a day & she was all excited & I really didn’t have the heart to say no. Found myself a nice antique Jhulla to relax on while she did her stuff.
Can’t believe the week’s almost over - I’ve been having SUCH a great time. Tommorow am starting a six day councelling course spread across the rest of this month (for those involved in giving Spiritual councelling). It’s supposed to be very very good and am really looking forward to it.

@ Reshma: Gosh, I have no idea - I don’t watch Hindi movies/TV so am pretty out of the loop with most of these things. Do read the glossies though, so do know just enough to make me not want to know more.
@ Anumita: Well the Microwave is no Chevrolet SRV - which is what I asked for, lol!! But yes it’s quite nice.
@ Alex: Thank you for forgetting what I used to look like!! Here are two older pics, here & here, to help you jog your memory… remember now???!
And about my folks - hahaha… If I actually get that tawa/rolling pin, am going to hunt you down Alexis…

August 12th, 2006 at 8:24 pm
The councelling course has been great so far. Today was crazy as I had a very important meeting I had to attend - so went to the course, stayed half day, went for the meeting and then went straight back. Crazy tired.
… but great.
@ somedevil:
I thought for a second you ment I need acting lessons & I was wondering why!!! lol…
