Retail therapy

Personally speakin, I have never ever been a big fan of shoppin (and neither is Bhavik)... But it was a different ball game altogether the other day... Bhavik and I were pooped out... As tired as can be... Meetings with the brokers all day had left us broke (well energywise, and otherwise)...

Sneha (Kataria) had spoken wid me ova the phone a coupla days back... And we had decided to meet on Friday (or was it sat) ... Anyways, she dutifully reconfirmed our plans a day prior to our meet; and i said yes... SO there was NO WAY I could back outta it...

I pushed the fatigue outta my mind (it took a lotta pushin) and I went to meet her at Nirmal Lifestyle... She had to wait for me (yeah, i was late as usual... but atleast this time, it was the broker's fault).. Like any true blue book lover would, she chose to wait at Crosswords... (And obviously ended up buyin some books in the bargain) Finally when we met (Bhavik was also wid me) we decided to settle down somewhere for awhile... But where? We wondered n pondered n roamed n hunted... Finally we decided to move outta Nirmals.. Believe it or not... We ended up sittin in front of a pan tapri, talkin, chattin, havin a ball...

I was nicknamed Hanuman by Bhavik (had happened a long time back); but we narrated the stories to her... It seriously felt like the good old days... When we used to sit at Jhunka's... Our pocket money sufficin in order for us to hav a gala time... :P

Okie okie... I know u guys are burstin to know why he nicknamed me Hanuman.. It has nuttin to do wid my face or me havin a tail (stop laughin u sickos) Apparently Hanuman used to be unaware about his powers until he was shown so or somethin like tat... (Bhavik knows the story n so does Sneha, they were noddin their head in unison) So I am like Hanuman, coz i seem to know all the right people with the ultra-right contacts, but I realize that we can use their help only at the last minute (But I still manage to save the day :P)

Okie then... We decided to head back towards the mall (we were at nirmal lifestyle, remember)... Why, you ask? Coz Sneha wanted to check out the yellow shoes we noticed earlier in the display window... YELLOW SHOES and SNEHA in the same sentence.... How the world changes.. *sigh* (Anyone and everyone who remotely knows Sneha wud also know that she is a self-confessed experimentophobic person - if there is even a word like tat... She has never ever gone beyond the normal colours that she's used to wearin.. N those r generally solid earthy tones...)

However, this time Bhavik n I managed to convince her about the shoes (oh, yeah, they did really look super hot) Bhavik Bhavik Bhavik... That cutiepie hates shoppin and here he was; givin fashion advice to Sneha as I took care of a work related phone call (Shyt, some serious role reversals happenin) But it was all worth it...

But before Sneha settled on the pair of yellow pumps (the one's she had originally seen in the display window); she made sure that we went through the painful ordeal of sorting through like a million wrong shoes only to go back to the one tat brought her to the store(we women always do that... this is why men like Bhavik hate shoppin)

I never thought some good ole shoppin wid an old college friend wud do me so much good.. But it did... Bhavik now likes ma friends... he doesnt mind shoppin (and seems to have developed a fair amount of fashion sense too)!!! Oh, this is a memory to reckon wid... For a 3rd person (in this case 4th) it may have seemed like jus another day, bt for me it wasnt.. It was a day that brought me closer to both Bhavik n Sneha!!! In their own lil ways, they reminded me of the everyday joys that make life worth livin!!! That's what a lil retail therapy can do for u!!!

Thanks to both of em!!! Bear hugs!!!

P.S.: Sneha, tis is my FM wid u... (Favourite memory)

College randomness

I jus noticed that I hadnt written much bout my college days.. So many memories; never documented... I think its a lil unfair... Good memories and bad memories alike, the 5 yrs I spent in Xavier's were the bestest 5 years of my life.. (subject to argument)

I entered college for the 1st time in July 2003... (Yeah, am still young, for all those of you who didnt realize or had jus plain forgotten) I will never forget the fear tat gripped me while I walked to college... I specifically remember, it was rainin (okie so it wasnt pourin, but it was a steady drizzle)....

As I walked towards college, I saw these coupla chicks walkin towards college... I dunno wat got into em, but they asked me if I was headin towards Xavier's... I nodded my head in agreement.. They asked me to walk wid em.. So I did... It was a nice,short walk, wid em familiarizin me wid the names for the various spots in college... Like they told me to look out for the crowd in the FOYER; or the wannabe couples in the WOODS; or the poetry club havin its meeting at the HOSTEL STEPS!!! It sounded like fun... Like they were passin on a legacy of sorts!!!

So I went along with the flow... My 1st step towards a new life!!! I entered, shiverin, tremblin wid excitement, almost like a newly wed bride enterin her in-law's place for the 1st time... I stepped into Xavier's... Hardly did I know, my life was gonna change forever, from that moment on!!! N how it did!!!

Xavier's you gave me roots and wings!!!! Honest!!!

Tabiness unveiled!!!

So Tabi writes all these posts... Says she has the key to the world of Tabiness...Tells you about her family, ex bf, friends, male BFFs and Jecky too!!! But who is Tabi?? Lets try n analyze that lil thought for awhile!!!

Name : Tabitha Thomas

A.K.A.: Tabi, Tabsi, Tabz, Tabutai, n the latest one is 'T'; but 'T' is a patented name, so you cant think of using it for me now!!!

Age: Currently 21, turnin 22 this year

Relationship status: At the brink of a newly formed relationship (No more questions pls)

Educational Qualifications: B.A. in Sociology from St.Xavier's College, Mumbai

Future plans:

Education:

• Wanna pursue my Post Graduate Diploma in Event Management

Work wise:

• Have started my own venture titled 'Evolution Events and Promotions' wid Mr.Bhavik;
• Another venture plan wid a certain company
• Handlin PR and Marketing for a website called www.india-nightlife.com

So wat is a typical 'Tabi' day like??

There is no definite answer to that (and this suits me the best coz i hate monotony). Every day is different and unique... After I left college, post my graduation, I haven't really had a routine of sorts (except for the short times that I held 9-5 kinda jobs)

How is today gonna be? (29th May, 2009)
I just got back from Dombivali today morn (had gone there to visit the cousins) and am as tired as hell rite now (Perhaps I look as hell as well; lemme check)

I plan on goin back to Dombivali in the afternoon again, since my dearest friend Samip wants to get a tattoo done from another friend of mine who has his workshop at Dombivali!!! So up n down it is for me...

Tia (my neice) woke up cryin today (she saw a bad dream) and was quite pleased to see me back home (she was missin me awwwwwwwwwww) !!! So now am sittin wid her (alongside me she sits) and helpin her out wid her colourin book...

Bhavik bhai will call me in sometime (am sure) and we will discuss work (as usual) and plan things... (we plan really well... So when u need a weddin planner, make sure its us!!)

I will go on to talk to the new Mr. RB in my life (heeheehee)... I love the feelin of bein wid someone and having someone to be wid u!!! So will talk to RB until he can (he works)... What's great is that we both r scorpions!!!
