Nervousness…

Posted on October 12, 2009 by Accidental Writer

…is all I can feel in the pit of my stomach. Don’t ask me why and about what I am nervous. If I knew it, I wouldn’t be writing this. I have mentioned somewhere before that I seem to share some sort of psychic connection with Julie. Read this post, and you’ll know why. I’ve…

Life’s answers…

Posted on October 7, 2009 by Accidental Writer

I got a nice forwarded text message. Yes, I am using the words nice and forwarded in the same sentence! But wait, this one was really nice. It goes like this, “Life answers you in three ways. It says yes, and gives you what you want. It says wait, and gives you something better. It…

Perfection…

Posted on September 23, 2009 by Accidental Writer

…is not a good thing! And no, I haven’t gone mad…yet! I was just reading this post by IHM. And as usual, wondering if the perfect man exists! I know, I know. We’ve been through this before. I know perfect men do not exist, nor do perfect women for that matter. We are all human,…

Snippets of conversation…

Posted on September 17, 2009 by Accidental Writer

Me: (With a sigh) All good-looking men are either married, taken, gay or not interested in me! Q: (Equally pensive) True…what to do? (Suddenly waking up to the fact that I mentioned a good-looking guy) But wait! Who are you talking about? Me: (Eyes twinkling) Why? Are you interested? Q: (Nose turned up) Uh? Me?…

Beauty is skin deep…

Posted on September 16, 2009 by Accidental Writer

…they say. But, sometimes I wonder what beauty really means? Tall? Slim? Fair? Big eyes? What exactly? Everywhere, I am treated to the same bullshit. Fair is beautiful. Slim is beautiful. But, how do we know what someone else would consider beautiful? As a teen, I was never confident about my physical appearance. I was…

Deceptively innocent?

Posted on September 8, 2009 by Accidental Writer

D, going through my photos of Onam, shrugs nonchalantly and says, “You are not as innocent as you look.” I look up, confused. Me? Innocent? Did I actually hear someone saying I look innocent? Exasperated, I turn around to face him and say, “D, how dare you even think of calling me innocent?” In case…

Too blasé for love?

Posted on September 2, 2009 by Accidental Writer

Almost echoing my train of thought on love, is this post by Julie. Sometimes, I wonder if I share some sort of psychic connection or something with her. And she wonders the same. Anyway, Julie wants to know if we are ever too blasé for love. Maybe we are. But that’s not the only thing…

Love…???

Posted on September 1, 2009 by Accidental Writer

I am in one of my philosophical moods. I don’t know how long this will last. Maybe it will go away tomorrow or maybe it will last another week, another month…no idea! But when I am in such a mood, it becomes a bit difficult for me to write humour, or anything else non-philosophical for…

This too will pass…

Entirely by co-incidence I must say. It immediately prompted me…

Slim, fair and “homely”

Posted on August 4, 2009 by Accidental Writer

Ever gone through matrimonial ads in the newspapers? All of them ask for brides who are slim, fair and “homely”. Mommy dearest, in her quest for the perfect son-in-law (another post for another time) decided to put in a description of her darling daughter (read ME) the other day over phone to someone. “My daughter…
