Of Rudolph, warmth and the Big 'O'!

Since I have SOOOOOOOOOOOO much going through my head right now, lots of which I can write about and mostly stuff I can't share (sowie), I am going to be my methodical self and jot all of 'em down. It clears my head and gives you something to roll your eyes at. Win-win situation, wouldn't you say?

• So, today's the BIG day!!! "The Big O" is going to be redefined. I intend (read fervently pray) to be able to watch it on HBO, but I have a feeling that work might just get in the way. I don't quite know why I am so excited, its not like him being the US President significantly changes things for me in any way, or even for any of us regular Indians. But somehow, every time I see the turnout at one of his rallies before he became President Elect, or even now, when I see him address the people, I still get goosebumps. Kinda bandwagon/ mob mentality like behaviour, but hey, I'd rather be a part of this wagon than any other. 

• This global warming bit is getting to me now. What in heaven's name happened to the Delhi winters? The one solitary thought that keeps me going through the dreadful summer is the thought of winter. (Summer includes spring, monsoon and autumn, there is no season worth experiencing in North India other than winters). So I pine and whimper and pine and whimper and cuss my way through summer, hopeful of a nice, cold, freeze your ass, bring tears to your eyes kinda winter. And lo behold, I do get it. FOR TWO F***ING DAYS!!!!!!! Seriously, Big Guy up there, are you kidding me?????Kinda puts the entire global warming stuff into perspective. Please guys, for my sake if not yours, take care, switch off your appliances when you aren't using them, switch off your lights, turn off the ignition at traffic lights, car pool, walk, run, cycle, I dunno, just get my winters back..PLEASE!!!!

• Onto men. You didn't see that coming? Seriously? Well, no this is not a rant about men, but just yet another example of we women are obviously destined to rule the world. I was trying to reverse my car out of the driveway and onto the road, now at the risk of sounding like a lil humbug, let me assure you that my skills at reversing are not bad, in fact i'd venture to say that they're at par with most male drivers I know and better than some too. So there I am reversing and my friend decides to be the 'knight in shining armour'. Since he knows for a fact that I am a woman and hence cannot reverse, it's up to him to help me out here. So he leaps out of the car, decides to stand next to the passenger window and direct me. Except he forgets a minor detail like the glass coming in his way and smack, heads nose first into the window. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!! I collapsed. I just collapsed laughing, his face was priceless. He has been christened Rudolph and I still crack up every time I am reminded of his face hitting the window like a goldfish charging at full speed only to collide with the glass bowl and look around completely perplexed as to what the hell just happened. 

So here's to history, us being alive to witness it and replacing men with sperm banks!!! Ok, maybe I'm just kidding about the last bit, maybe!!
