Grey’s Anatomy
You know, you think you love the show until you buy Season 1.
Then you realize that you can NEVER love Grey’s Anatomy enough.
Sigh.
If there were doctors like Patrick Dempsey, I’d live in a hospital.
I want Season 2 now! NOW!

My Moment
Sometimes one of the hardest things in the world for me is to stop “living” for a second, and ask myself if I’m really taking in everything around me.
Last night, I couldn’t sleep ( I later realized that my pillow was missing – oh, the dependency on pillows!) , but there really wasn’t anything I could do other than just shut my eyes and try and count sheep. However, after a valiant effort, I still couldn’t get to sleep. So what did I do? I walked over to the balcony, and lay down and looked up at stars..
No really, I did.
What made the experience more fulfilling, was that beside me lay not the man of my dreams (haha joke), but my dog, Judo. And for once, he lay down quietly by my side, without getting up every two seconds to investigate some strange sounds ( even though I could hear some dog barking in the distance, which is usually enough to trigger him off into an answering volley of barks).
So we lay there, for I don’t exactly know how long, but enough to really make me feel.. something. I’m not a big believer in spiritual or religious things, and so I rarely take the time to actually sit and “be at peace with myself” . but this time I felt like doing this.
I realized that by staring fixedly at one star, it looked like it was moving , and that if I stared long enough, I stopped seeing the ugly cable that runs across from one end of the compound to the next, marring the view of the sky. I realized, lying there looking up at the stars with my ferocious, “biter” dog sleeping like a baby next to me, that my life ( contrary to the typical 17-year-old point of view) really isn’t so bad after all =)
Righto, old chap
Too low to find my way
Too high to wonder why
I’ve touched this place before
Somewhere in another time
Now I can hear the sun
The clouds drifting through the blinds
A half a million thoughts
Are flowing through my mind
A satellite recalled your voice
Sent me round the world again
All the night you’ve dreamt away
Sent me round my heart again
One touch upon my lips
And all my thoughts are clear
I feel your smoky mist
Up to the stratosfear
-Lebanese Blonde by Theivery Corporation
Warm rain
Wait, wait
Here it comes
catch it, don’t let go
let me see you travel slow
Roll, roll
So I can feel
drop now, right here
right where I can see you
(but you’re hiding)
No, no!
You cannot decieve me so!
Fall, I’m waiting
I’m waiting to let you flow
You know your life rocks when:
- you have an iPod
you have a cell phone
you have a great romance novel to read
you’ve got a glass of cold, cold Sprite
you’ve got a bowl of cherries
and
- you’ve got two months of glorious summer holidays!
Hello, Goodbye
The last two weeks have been busy and exciting, what with me turning 17 and the ending of 11th grade. Which is why I titled this post as “Hello, Goodbye”, because I’ve had to welcome new things, and bid farewell as well..
This has to have been one of the best birthdays of my life. It started of with me juggling three different cell phones at 12 am on the 30th : my mom’s, my dad’s and MINE! Yep, I finally got my own phone (all the people who I regularly complained to be about how unfair it was that I didn’t have my own phone – you can heave a sigh of relief now !) ! When I got to school, most people remembered which was nice. What was especially nice was that my Lit teacher read out a Sylvia Plath poem especially for me 
The fun began on Saturday, when around 16 of my friends came over for lunch. It was amazing fun just to be around most of the people that I enjoy being with on my special day, and to add to it, there was some yummy biryani too ! After lunch, we all changed out of our “nice” clothes into clothes that we could get wet in because..
WE HAD A WATER FIGHT!
And boy oh boy was it some water fight! Armed with some incredible water guns that my friend brought along, plus the garden hose, we got completely drenched ! I felt 7, and not 17 , and it really didn’t matter at all! Everyone was soaked to the bone by the time we were done, and we enjoyed every bit of it. After that, we sat on the porch to dry up, with some of my mom’s amazing chocolate mousse to keep us company.
The best part of a party (after the company and food ofcourse) are PRESENTS , and I got such really lovely stuff !
The fun didn’t end on Saturday, but carried over to Sunday, when a bunch of my “non-teenager” friends came over for lunch. The highlight of the afternoon was the unwrapping of some curiously familiar presents (hehe) and one completely unexpected one -
A fantastic , black, and insanely beautiful 30 GB video iPod! (A big thank you to everyone who gave me the one thing I wanted the most after the phone !)
School, meanwhile, was really hectic as we drew near the ending of 11th. We 11th graders had to prepare for the Graduation of the 12th graders, and so most of time was consumed in that . While sitting through the Graduation ceremony this evening, it finally sunk in that the time had finally come to say goodbye to some people who have always been around in school, and that I was probably never going to see some of these people again. On a more selfish note, I realized that next year, I would be part of the Graduating class and would have to *gulp* leave school, and that I was now a Senior. I wish my seniors who graduated today all the very best in life , and school’s not going to be quite the same without you guys around !
So all in all, 17 started off on a high, and hopefully it will remain that way for a long while..
