The groom-hunting saga – Epilogue

Posted on July 3, 2011 by Accidental Writer

There are some things in life that happen in spite of all the effort you take to avoid it. My meeting THE boy was one of them. Yeah…you guessed it right. This is about what would rightly be called “The Epilogue” of the now-famous groom-hunting saga. I came back a happy girl from Paris after…

The groom-hunting saga – Final edition

Posted on June 5, 2011 by Accidental Writer

Ah…so…where were we? PG4 right? This one deserves to be put in a museum and showcased for posterity. It all started with some random maami calling mom about matrimonial alliance. After talking a few times on phone with the mater, they decided to come home. The mother of PG4 walked in two days later, with…

The groom-hunting saga – Episodes 2/3

Posted on May 15, 2011 by Accidental Writer

Following up from where we left off, I was left alone for almost 10 months after the PG1 debacle. Not that my parents slowed down, or gave up on their search. It was because finding an intelligent, decent-looking, educated man over 5 feet and 9 inches of height was getting a tad difficult. So difficult…

The groom-hunting saga – Episode 1

Posted on May 14, 2011 by Accidental Writer

So, I am finally overcoming inertia to write this much-in-demand (ok ok…can’t you let a girl flatter herself?) post on my groom-hunting saga. So…where do I start? Ah…I know just the way to do it! Circa July 2009 After extensive discussions on the whys and the wherefores of their darling daughter having so much fun,…

Some totally unconnected thoughts…

Posted on February 19, 2011 by Accidental Writer

I have been meaning to put something down in words for a week now. But, every time I put my fingers to keyboard, I realize I don’t have enough material for a blogpost. You know? It’s one of those times when you have too much to say to fit into a tweet of 140 characters,…

A particularly pointless post…

Posted on January 30, 2011 by Accidental Writer

What’s with Tamil cinema? No, let me correct myself! What’s with B-grade Tamil cinema? Most of them are stupid love stories made with unrecognizable actors with totally contrived situations and even more contrived fight sequences! Like the one that was playing some time back on Jaya TV. Hero and heroine are in love, but they…

My sins against gender stereotyping

Posted on July 1, 2010 by Accidental Writer

What do you do when you are completely out of ideas? Crib and cringe about writer’s block? Let your blog hibernate like I did for almost 2 months? Yeah! Or you could pick up a random tag from somewhere and write on it. Seriously, whoever invented these nice tags is a godsend for lazy bloggers…

The hunt is on…

Posted on June 20, 2010 by Accidental Writer

Yeah…you read that right! The hunt begins. Actually, it began quite some time ago. I just haven’t gotten around to writing about it yet. Every month, the hunt goes something like this. Dad downloads an excel sheet with details of “boys” in it. Yeah! Once again, you read that right! Excel sheet. Easy to filter…

On writer’s block and assorted things…

Posted on February 21, 2010 by Accidental Writer

It’s been one of my longest blogging breaks to date. Not that I am proud of it, but for some reason, I find myself unable to sit down and pen my thoughts with any degree of coherence. Don’t ask me why. I have no idea. But there are some random thoughts floating around in my…

Of bloggy birthdays, adieus and au revoirs…

Posted on October 18, 2009 by Accidental Writer

Where do I start? What do I say? I typed out words on Microsoft Word three times, and deleted them three times. Because, I don’t know where and how to start. October 16, three years ago, I put down my first words on a blog. It was then called something else, hosted somewhere else. Not…
