A New Beginning

One day a few people suggested we do a quiz in QFI and at the beginning I was reluctant, wasn’t sure if I can handle it. Ended up doing the quiz and to my surprise it turned out to be good fun and a lot of people saying it was a really good quiz.

Then I thought its time to take it to the next level so accepted to do a inter school quiz for Sankara school. So today – first ever proper official quiz. It was good fun and also made some cash. People appreciated the quiz, telling us we must come back next year and all. Felt soooooooo good.

The only problem today was I felt a little old. People calling me ‘ma’am’ isn’t exactly fun. Although I am very relieved that they dint call me ‘aunty.’

So quiz mastering is something I am going to do a lot more.

Ugly truth

What’s the one topic that never gets stale for us girls? The obvious answer to it is GUYS!!! Yes we talk about them all the time. Ask us why? We actually don’t know. Life was good when we were kids and guys dint make a difference to us. When we dint have to do things to impress them.

If two or more girls have a conversation for about hour, almost for 45 minutes we discuss guys. Usually it is: Why is he not talking to me? Why is he not coming out? Why is he not asking me out? Why is he so boring? Why did I ever meet him? Why did I add him? Why did I give my number to him? Why is he soooooo cute/hot/good looking? Why is he not replying to a text I sent? Why is he talking to this other girl? Why is he not single? Why is he a psycho path? Why cant he be a man and come over a talk? Why is he so stuck up? why cant he just move on? why cant he leave me alone?

Then after disastrous event(s), we decide to give up on guys and bam within a few days/months we are in the same place and discussing the same things (mentioned above) and only this time it’s a new guy. How complicated all this sounds? It’s just so tough to understand them! You think you are in one place but it turns out to be wrong!

Guys these days are also not doing their role I must say! Like the good old days, why cant they e the one asking us women out? Must ban all these movies, shows and articles that showcase girls asking guys out. Seriously it’s affecting our lives!

Guys are idiots, it’s so difficult to understand them, and they don’t understand us very well. Some are also stupid and gutless. Even if they like you, they don’t do anything about it. Some are even scared and nervous around girls. Some fear talking in public. Some make inappropriate comments and some lie… I can go and on and on.. But I must accept this, no matter what they say or do! We end up liking them! That my friend is the ugly truth.

Confessions of a shopaholic

Finally, I am going to come out and accept this, I am a shopaholic. Think I have always known this, but accepting it only know. I only decided to accept it when I went shopping yesterday and saw me already own many of the tops in the display. The store assistant then came by and asked me if I need some help and was showing me some stuff and my answer to most of it was, "Oh I already have it."

Also I have a huge wardrobe yet I stuff some clothes into my dads, since he is a very kind soul who wont retort to anything I say or do. Also because he wont notice. After all this, when I open my wardrobe, many clothes fall out due to lack of space.

Two months back, I used to go shopping almost everyday. Boredom lead to go to all the malls, seeing some really pretty stuff and end up swiping the card and coming back home so happily. When people at home asked, I had this convenient excuse, "Its for UK" (which btw I dint end up going also) Then when I got the job it was, "Need new clothes for work" I have even shopped for my little nieces birthday, parents birthday and parents anniversary. So now you know what I mean. I am a SHOPAHOLIC!

Thankfully I work now and I pay my own bills which makes me a little conscious. Not like I have time to go shopping anymore. Packed schedule that I have!

Maniacal pricing!

CASE 1
So I decide I will go for a movie, Check how much money I have in my wallet. I have about 200 bucks. Decide I can go ahead with the movie plan.

Ticket - 120 bucks
Snacks - 50-60 bucks
Parking - 10 - 20 bucks

You see with the 200 Bucks I could watch a movie quite comfortably.

CASE 2
So I decide I will go for a movie, Check how much money i have in my wallet. I have about 200 bucks. OOPS, that wouldnt do since I wanted to watch at Escape

At Escape:
Ticket - 120 bucks
Snacks - 100-120 bucks
Parking - 60 bucks

See its impossible with 200 Bucks.

A samosa is priced at 60 bucks. Ok i am willing to let go of the prices of the snacks, but the parking is just ridiculous. Why should I pay half the price of the ticket for just parking? Something must be done about this stupidity. I am not going to be blaming Escape for this, its the Express Avenue mall in which the theater is situated. The price I am talking about is only the two wheeler pricing on weekdays. Its more expensive on weekends. Double almost(i think)

So if you are watching a movie on a weekend and you go by car, there is a good chance you pay more for parking than the ticket itself!
