I believe in signs

I got it approved ! I was in an advanced state of anxiety n stress. And yesterday my father called up. Just like that. He said he felt like punching my number. Ha ! And he hung up just like that. That was it. I knew it. And today the blasted mountain cap melted.

It happens...

the puny vampires who are after my sweet blood

Must be from the school bus or from the saloon. That's not the point. We have them plenty but they bite only me. The sweet blood. Of course. After 2 weeks they set about to taste the girls too and so Boss wakes up. Pest control. The masked killer comes n sprinkles the deathly poison all over our flat. We run out  clutching our precious lungs and roam around n kills the whole day. Shopping a@ Al Bairaq Mall, Junk snacking @ KFC, droolwalking @ Avenues, coffee @ Starbucks, playtime @ Magic Planet and dinner @ Dakshin Ceasar's. From Abu Halifa to Abbassya. Now we are off to our cousins' for the slumber party. Howzat? I'm so loving this whole bloody bed bug episode.

Come, Tell Me How You Live - Agatha Christie Mallowan

Agatha Christie. I solved almost all her mysteries during my college days. I don't have that kind of patience anymore. So here I am catching up with Agatha Christie after almost 20 years ! And it's not at all with her crimes. Archaeological memoir ? Ha ! It's a hilariously funny diary. If you are/were a fan Agatha Christie, if you are/were in Middle East, you shouldn't miss this book. It's worth the dig.

My rating: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thomachan and VavaPennu makes me bitter with homesickness

Today we get a card and letter from my parents. Feels great. And loved.

Look at the stamps. Wow 

Chums for arousing my sleepy sour buds

puliogre n mangogre

I have never told anyone that puli/sour is my favorite flavor.  Then how the hell did she know?  These tamarind and mango rices are from Chums.  She sends the mixture.  I garnish it with rice.  I know I didn't do it properly.  If only I could eat it hot hot from her kitchen !  Anyway, I reached heaven and came back with tingling teeth.  You are extremely welcome to send more my sour lady.

The Adventures of Tintin - Georges Remi aka Herge

I love and read Tintin for the pure pleasure of exclamatory ecstasies. My favorite is  Captain Haddock. Forget about Billions of Blue Blistering Barnacles and Ten Thousand Thundering Typhoons. Here he goes:-
Bashi- bazouks !
Interplanetary-pirate !
Fresh-water spaceman ! 
Seismic semaphore !
pestilential prairie-dog !
Jumping Jehosephat !
Wriggling rattlesnakes !
Smouldering smokestacks !
Bungling jackass !
Rotten sand-hoppers !
Son of a mangy dog !
Grandson of a scurvy jackal !
Great grandson of a moulting vulture !
Dunder-headed Ethelreds !
Arabian nightmare !
*@#$&*..........!
