I feel I am still not over my blogger block, because I am having such a hard time coming up with titles. Maybe that has something to do with the fact that I have nothing concrete to write about right now. The most exciting thing that happened to me today was that I discovered this brilliant online shopping site called ASOS. It has great brands, great designs, great outfits and ships worldwide free of cost! The best thing is that there's this bar at the extreme left of the screen which lets you decide the color, sleeve-length, knee-length, design, price range and what not. Now I know that many online outlets have that, but it's a bit more detailed, and has greater stock so the bar actually has a point. (I remember once I selected three-quarter sleeve-length and color black, and all the website came up with was two tops, and none of them were even good. Honestly, is that what your database should be like? What I am saying is, ASOS is awesome. Another good feature is that they have a section called ASOS curve, which has a wide and wonderful selection of clothes for girls who aren't petite (cheer up petite girls! There's a petite section too. And just in case you're wondering, nay, I am not fat, I am curvy. I do know that's what most fat girls say..) Without further ado, here's a link for the lazy bums who can't put in the effort of Googling ASOS.
Discovering ASOS also led me to commit a despicable deed i.e. cancelling on a friend who came back to town today! I know I know, I am a horrible person. We were supposed to meet in the afternoon, so I innocuously decided to surf a little (not the waves, obviously) and since I have a party to attend the next week, I thought I'd look for some good dresses, and that landed me in the magical world of ASOS. After that, I kinda (read totally) forgot about the plan, and since the said friend didn't call me up to ask where the heck I was, my afternoon was spent checking out clothes. Yes, my entire afternoon. Anyway, just when I decided I'd had enough, my father called me to watch some news segment on the Mahashivratri (Happy Mahashivratri, you awesome readers!). Now, this entire time there was this teeny tiny voice inside my head saying 'call your friend, call your friend, call your friend' but like the supreme sloth that I am, I ignored it, and thus subjected myself to the wrath of my friend (I don't exaggerate much, just so you know.) We've decided to meet after dinner now, since we live in the same apartment. Let's just hope nothing comes in the way, because contrary to my procrastinating actions, I really do wanna meet her!
In case readers of earlier posts are wondering, my friends have come around! Even better, three of my friends and I have started going to this shelter for women, called Nari Niketan, where women find themselves when they have no place else to go, or when the underage ones elope (which they aptly described to us as 'love case' very proudly, I must add.) It has been a great experience so far! I have a grand time with them! When we went there for the first time, it was very awkward initially, as all we did was say 'Namaste' in greeting to everyone and they smiled, waved, and the bold ones shook hands in return. We had decided to go with the intention of teaching them some elementary English, but how do you say 'Dude, I am here to teach you, come to the classroom' to someone who's mighty older in age and experience, and has suffered so much? We couldn't, so we ended up just talking to them. Like it happens in most cases, both parties became less awkward and more friendly, and we ended up having a blast! For me it has been such an eye-opener cause even in the few days that I've been there, all my problems have started seeming very petty. The other day I had a pimple (if you know me, you know that I freak out when I get pimples because I suffered from a bad case of acne a few years ago) and just when I should have freaked out, I realized that it's just a stupid pimple that will go away. Stupid analogy, I know, but effective nevertheless. I have to admit that my intentions hadn't been hundred percent philanthropic when I decided to render my services here, but I have to agree that whatever the reasons, I am glad to be doing this. The stories I have to hear are such that I couldn't hear anywhere else. Also, aren't you who you are because of your experiences? This is a whole new experience. The only drawback is having to get up in the morning, OH MY GOD I HATE THAT! Only the mental picture of their beautiful faces that light up on seeing us is the thing that forces me to get my ass off of my beautiful bed. Everyone who has nothing to do? Give one hour to the needy everyday, you'll feel awesome. If not for them, do it for yourself. Take it from the laziest person in the world, it's worth it.
I spend two hours in the morning there everyday, so what else do I do, you're wondering? Modern Family of course! I've reached Season 2 and the show keeps getting better! All the other shows I was planning to watch are still on hold because MF is just that awesome. Also, I am still reading A Passage to India which has become kinda boring.
YEAH! SUE ME! I know it's supposed to be a wonderful book, it's has a place in the Top 100 is some Modern Literature list, but it just doesn't do it for me! Sure, I loved it when I started reading it. It's just towards the end of Part 2- Caves that it has become a tad bit boring. Maybe it's just become too depressing or something? I don't know, I just hate the books that don't have happy endings. I do know that it's those exact books that become famous, though. I will have to drag myself through Part 3, and fast, because I got my delivery of The Indigo Spell today and I CANNOT EFFING WAIT TO READ IT! I am a die-hard Vampire Academy fan, and the chemistry between Adrian and Sydney? Epic. Marcus Flinch curiosity? AT IT'S PEAK. Adrian's hotness level? Ever-soaring. If not for my (annoying) need of never leaving a book half-way, I would have finished The Indigo Spell already. Oh well, wait a few more hours, you precious little wondrous book.
I will take your leave now, Blogger, and finish a class and start a YA!
Laters, baby.
(I admit, embarrassingly enough, I have read Fifty Shades of Grey. Yes, my faith in humanity has suffered a blow. A HUGE blow. Why people of the planet, why in the bloody hell?)
