Breaking News!!

Found a live piping shrike! Wooo hooooo!
Bought, and unashamedly wore, actually "wore" - outside, on the streets, a miniskirt - for the first time in my life. And I was not even embarassed the least bit! hehe
I actually like it. And to prove that I'm not embarassed wearing a miniskirt - a picture for the world to criticise.

Next mission: teeny weeny yellow polka-dot bikini!

Last one is not really news, I took this picture of a drunk guy at the harbour the other night cos' I thought he looked familiar...any idea who he resembles? :P

Hello from Sydney!

Mr. Mistofelees says hi! He says to watch out for your health, your blood sugar levels and blood alcohol contents.
He loves Sydney, his feathers stay relatively cleaner as compared to India where he has to endure grubby hands picking him up all the time.

Of IMs and Insanity

Jerusha's been gone for less than a week now. Thank god for IM, though. So we're completely in touch with every important aspect of her life.

Like the guy who's cute and had sideburns growing on his chin. Sadly, he might have shaved that off. Or at least that's what we thought until Jeru revealed all. It turns out the cute guy she was ogling at isn't the man she thought he was. She's seen Mr. Chin Sideburns just once and thought he was someone else.

Confused? You should have seen Shirley!

Jerusha tends to vanish from her desk a lot, too. Generally, that's not a problem. Today, though after another disappearance (For TGIAF), she comes back a tad insane.

That's an excerpt of our chat convo:

Jerusha

a plague on your house!

Sohna

ok tht's not u!!!

or ur really drunk :P

Jerusha

O true apothecary!

Sohna

um rite.... tht made more sense

See what I mean?

Of course, it could have been someone else pinging... Apparently, TGIAF cheered up our Apostle a great deal. To the extent that he googled Shakespearean quotes to drive us crazy. :P

Speaking of the Apostle, we're keeping his traditions alive. It's team dinner time today and we're headed there early. To grab a few flaming shots. Just enough to make the team dinner fun. And to make Shirley forget about dog grooming franchises. :)

Second Squeak

So Sydney is looming large in the picture. But I am so going to miss little things like these -

That's Sohna under my scalpel - getting ready to get drunk! :-)

Shirley at Taj Banjara - awaiting her tequila shots. Note the look of eagerness on her face.

I think I'm going to completely monopolise the picture content of this blog. *Fun* :-)

Of Lambs and Being Swallowed by Bears

Have you noticed how all our conversations revolve around the strangest animals, most likely either disguised or swallowed up by other strange animals.

Haha so Sohna dreams of a lamb, which is but in actual fact a wolf and in the bargain gets swallowed by a bear. (Homo homini lupus perhaps?). How about the bear that was swallowed by the lustful peacock? Oooh or the certainty that the brunch we had at the Marriott was but lamb in black 'bear' sauce, cleverly disguised as black 'bean' sauce.

Yes its true, we do live in a dog-eat-dog world or should I say a peacock-eat-bear world. Such may be the hidden psychology behind the strangeness of such fascinating statements as proposed by the Fair Sohna and Veritable Jerusha. However, I must also add that in all likelihood, we're possibly just merely relishing in the glory and drunkeness of past evenings. :)

First Squeak

Yet another blog up. I've never tried a group blog, so this should be fun. Shirley, Sohna and I will all be contributing on this one. Might be fun, might be boring.

I think this is where I'll write about Firaangi Paanis and Ten Downing Streets and Under Decks and bloody marys and caprioskas and sangrias and pina coladas and flaming shots, who got tipsy, hammered, knackered, smashed, or fucked :D

I don't have any idea what the others will want to write about. Let's wait and see.

End of post. But since it's the opening post, let's end this sagely :-)

Sohna's sagely saying of the day: You'll get eaten by a bear if you parade around as a lamb but you're really a wolf lamb.

Shirley's sagely saying of the day: No one knows for sure if the blind men of Indostan killed the elephant!

And of course, my sagely saying of the day: Where there's envy, there's usually black bear sauce.
