When my daily horoscope said...

My horoscope for 19th May '09 said... 'You will be faced with a problem today. A Gemini will come to your aid' Instantly I knew..today is the day when I will find a .. Gemini friend...something like..'a friend in need is a friend indeed'....(whatever that meant..:) Anyway, first thing was me falling in trouble, which is a rare case (considering spending majority of my time in office vellegiri). But I just found the whole proposition so tempting that I put up a status message that read 'A Gemini is supposed to help me today!' What enused was a series of discussions and discoveries. For starters, I was offered help by many Geminis I knew (rather I discovered that they were Geminis..) Then came the many specualtions as to why geminis have been given the special privilege. Of course the college crowd could go no further than who is 'the' gemini you are looking for. Then came a very funny conclusion that maybe the Gemini (the privileged Gemini) will actua

Reunion...of sorts

Long weekend...got over...and come monday, I was still in the 'ftp' (i.e. full time pass...coined by Mohsin) mood.

Chocolate rolls with ice cream. Sounds usual. When it appeared, our reaction was 'ok we'll have it' But when I took it close...its nothing like the usual...a roll... overflowing with thick...yummy chocolate sauce. Add to it a little vanilla icecream and put it in. It felt out of this world. Rather i was transported to another world...a world in which the rivers flow with chocolate and the rocks are brownies...The leaves are pastries and everything around me is chocable....:) It was one hell of a dessert. Not sure if it contained something that made me feel drowsy..and dizzy.  Next time I go t
