The return of the nosy parker...ahem!

Aiyo! How painful it is to be hit by meddlerism! Somebody meddles, twiddles and oh la la your day does a wheedle!

Don't you just love them meddlers? Those silly busybodies who go about interfering with your, your neighbourhood dog's, the cobbler's - anyone's life imaginable! And then you wonder, how do such people manage to find the time? To swig from one end to the other - to get information/gossip/updates and proclaim those out to all those under the sun!

What drives such people, i wonder? Is it genuine concern for your wellbeing? Nah, go take a hike lady - this isnt Satyug! Ok, then is it bitchiness? No, I don't think so coz mostly the ones who effectively manage to meddle with us are either those who at some point meant a lot to us (and so have enough gossip/masala to go with) but then that would just make them silly babblers. Or maybe its someone we are completely indifferent to - thereby filling them with this need to influence your life. It could also stem from a social need to simply be wanted, be popular, be waah waah'ed. Dunno. All I know is that its extremely irritating to be at the receiving end. And sometimes, mind you, only sometimes, you can't really have a "heart-to-heart" discussion or retaliate in kind.
You know its ok. Maybe you did it once, without realizing. Maybe, just maybe this is come-uppance for you, a divine way of "fixing" you. But then again, we aren’t Gods, right? So why accept?

Hmmm.

Am confused. Angry. Irritated. Sleepy!

Yours indifferently,
Meow!

Wait and Watch ? Naah, its "weight and watch"!

And literally so!:D

Here's a confession - I have put on weight; loads of it. All those Delhi trips, get-togethers, sleep-ins, and a general prevalance of intertia is to say the least, "heavy" duty stuff for me!::Sigh::

Kitna - you might ask. Don't ask! Suffices to say that when people ask me what's up, these days my standard response is "my weight"!

So while me and some close friends have been agonizing over diets/exercise regimes (ouch!)/smarter dressing options (ahem, this one is the most interesting!;-)), the parents (including parent proxies since Ma and dad are themselves happily gorging on winter goodies in Delhi!!) are visibly worried. And two months is what I have to get fighting fit - arre mere bhai ki shaadi hai bhai!!!:D

Meanwhile, your truly does need some motivating to give up the allure of good (read that rich/cheese filled/chocolately/basically anything that is classified as a "bad" in the diet universe!) food, we went and bribed ourselves with a brand new Morellato watch - something I had been eying for quite some time. Afterall, a little bit of retail therapy never hurt anyone!;D Slight problem though, in this case its an advance bribe, the deed has yet to be signed, the promise is yet to be fulfilled!::going red in the face::. There I go again, me and my big mouth, confessing in public!:S

Koi na, afterall a promise-breaker is a shoemaker! (no offence to Schumacher!!!) Aur hum, joote banane mein nahi, pehne mein vishwas rakhte hain!:D

On that bad pj note, I will embark on a vision 4/10 - just wait and watch for April now!:D:D

meow.
