Blogging A to Z:G is for..

It's been a while hasn't it?Blame it on the weekend and hectic work schedule I had this past week.
I promise to try and be more regular with my A to Z's :)

G is for....
-Flicker

G is for Ghosts and Ghouls.None of which I believe in.(Of coz!).Not that I have anything against people who do because I have had my share of paranormal weird experiences,but I sit dwn and manage to find a logical explanation.Now is THAT weird?!

G is for Google.A lifeline.What did the world do before Google?How did you ever play scrabble?(presuming that you also have a feisty family that demands every alternate word you put down(I honestly thought "Zoop" was a good,legitimate word and got me 28 points!) ,be checked in the dictionary,and then the hunt ensues to look for said dictionary!pheeww!).I would have loved for google to have been there then.
Google is a magical land for me.I can visit different places,sample different cuisines,read some inspiring stories,learn some new fashion tips and so much more.

G is for Grandparents.The most important and influential people in my life.I lived with with them through my formative years and I can honestly tell you I am what I am thanks to them.The were extremely supportive and I think I am one of those lucky ones who got the best of both worlds.Doting parents AND grandparents :)

G is for Greens.I mean those green leafy vegetables that you hate as a child and understand the importance of later as an adult.Well,it has recently occurred to me that I need to incorporate lots and lots of greens in my diet to make it a healthy balanced one.So I rolled up my sleeves and brought on the spinach(red and green version no less) and made some nice things.I tried a spinach and tomato pulao and the normal spinach in coconut sabzi.Both were reasonably tasty and I wonder why I had a thing against green leafy stuff earlier?

G is for Gossip Girl.Why oh why am I addicted to these preppy lil serials :(

I seem to have hit some kind of blogger wall.
I hear that's pretty common, so I guess there is nothing to worry about as of now :)

See you with "H" tomorrow :)

Blogging A to Z:F is for...

-ClipArt Etc.com


Without further ado....F is for.

F is for F.R.I.E.N.D.S.I love the sitcom.No,no not love,I am OBSESSED with the sitcom.I watch reruns on TV,I can mouth the dialogues before they are said,and I guarantee I can kick a#$ in any challenge regarding the series.Ask me writer/director names or the season in which Rachel wore the Princess Leia bikini and I'll tell you.
In fact I have the series on in the background everyday!

F is for Fish.I must admit now.I am a fraud mallu(malayali).I don't eat fish.OK the eyebrows can come back down now.I just don't eat fish and I'm sick of having to justify why I don't.That being said I have a very "fishy"(PJ alert) husband and now daughter.They adore fish,in ANY form.Cookie actually looked at her fish puzzle that has the cutest goldfish swimming in water and said "Oh,I like fish"! and I grinned happily thinking "How cute is that",until I heard her next sentence which was "When Ammuma fries it!".
Now that is a Mallu if I ever saw one.

F is for Fire.Ahh,estate memories again.Probably the only place I have had a lovely crackling fire lit in my bedroom.I used to curl up in front of it with a book and it used to feel so romantic.I did get a fire lit when Ram came over to estate,he curled up too. And snored!
Romance Out .Of.Window.

F is for Fights.I am known to be this uber confident person but I hate fights.I find that confrontations always end up in fights.And where I will plunge into a fight headon if I HAVE to.I will think 10 times before getting into one if I can let the matter slide.I am not sure if this is good or bad.But what's a person to do?

F is for Fun.You know the thing we used to have as kids.I am amazed that the definition of fun has since changed dynamically.Swinging on the gates used to be fun,now getting drunk and driving is fun!Ugggh!Drink if you must,even I am known to enjoy a good glass of wine occasionally.But NEVER drink and drive.Its something I draw the line at.So can we think of other ways to have fun?

F is for Family.I cannot live without them.Period.They mean everything to me and I hope I can be as strong a support system to them as they are to me.

F is for Fashion.I am a bit of a fashion conscious person.I love nice clothes.I love looking at nice clothes,buying nice clothes,helping people buy nice clothes...you get the drift.I make sure I get my hands on any fashion magazine that appear on the stand at Nilgiris in my apartment.And even though I hate beauty salons,I go there just to get my monthly fix of Vogue and Marie Claire.

So that was "F" for today and I'll see you with "G" tomorrow.
