Did I mention that I finally canceled my Thailand trip? I don't know how to feel about it, Macavity and the rest of the gang are in Phuket right now, except for Sohna - who is in Switzerland. And yours truly here is in good ole Hyderabad, same people, same haunts, same cheap thrills - not to forget the shit load of work that the vacationers have left. The worst part is that they all left on the same weekend, which makes my situation seem a bit more morose.
Then again, I don't mind so much. I'm going away myself soon so no harm in taking care of work now which will just be nightmares if I go away now.
Anyway, look what I found!
And look where they ended up :-)
That's right, in our house.
I have been craving Maian for ages so finding this was like Manna from the skies. Despite it growing on the very poshiest, richest part of town, despite all the super fancy mansions right next to it, we went and filled 3 plastic bags unashamedly.
I didn't mind the puzzled and amused looks from the passers-by, but I ended up with a major rash on my hands. Ran to doc, who put me on a week's medication. But they are like the best Maian I've ever had, so worth every single rash. And I'm wiser, now I know how unpleasant it is to pluck those leaves, I will not complain anymore if I think a 'maian tel' in Mizoram is overpriced.
On to other things - meet the neighbourhood :-) Zorock and the object of our envy: Brownie! Not the kids, the Saint Bernard pup.
Anyway, we learned that some of the families in our apartment keep dogs, so we went and adopted a pup from Apatea. No more eyeing other people's Luckys or Brownies. At least until my flat-owner finds out :(
I love having a dog of our own although he keeps me in a tizzy. We call him Bozo because he looks like Bozo the clown. I get up earlier so I can take him out before I leave for work. And I go home earlier so I can take him out. I take him out 3 times at night, so he's not only good for my emotional health, but my physical health as well.
And the last picture - we're thinking of starting a new fashion line. Think this is something that will catch on?

So you cancelled the trip. If it makes your Mum feel better, that's good I guess. And Sir Tawmtea did mention that you're all going to Goa to make a movie :D Gawsh, that's a real Saint Bernard pup? I hope his owners live in an AC house btw because I heard they don't adapt too well to warm Indian climes. I read in a recent Vanglaini ad there's some family here with St B pups for sale and I'd love to just go see them.

Didn't know you'd canceled your Thailand trip... guess better plans are in the offing. Being too busy does tend to put you in a bad mood. I've been grumbling and losing my temper over the smallest things...maybe I need a vacation too *Grin*
Congratulations on the new doggie; and you're right, your object of envy (the neighbor's dog) is indeed worthy of committing that deadly sin.
PS: The new fashion thingy... reminds me of superman. I sincerely hope you girls don't start a new trend. I can imagine me having to blow all my hard-earned money on a new undie wardrobe!
you do have this strange habit of placing lingerie on completely dressed people :D
Maian hmeh ni chuan ngatinge chaw eiah min sawm loh? Kan ei chak ve tho lom. Wasn't it worth skipping your vacation for?
Ui hi chu mi dangin buaipui sela, an che vel hi lo thlir ve ila ka duhtawk chiah.
In fashion design chu - will catch on for sure. If displaying the belly button could catch on like wild fire - why not? Want to change your profession? LOL.

I liked your blog. I appreciate the way you present things. It is also wonderful that you are regulary updating things. Keep it up. Best wishes

Maian! Wish I could find some around here. I find Trawkte now and then and they taste great.
PS: Is that a sparkling wine in the second picture? Suddenly, I'm thirsty.

That gives me an idea, we could have a 'Superman Day' day in office :) we are kind of done with the hat day, traditional day etc...
J - it was supposed to make my mum feel better, but when I told her I cancelled she started having guilt trips so it didn't quite have the effect I was hoping for haha And yeah, that's a real St Bernard. It is the fastest growing puppy I've ever seen, he's massive now.
Eee Varte - I lo lut ve a helamah theng khiuh! Underpant zuar tunu sawi khi keipoawh ka pawm zawng tak ani, hmeichhe tan chuan thil mawi hi chu a lang emaw lang lo emaw, a lawmawm ve hrim2 alawm.
Cherrie - I think it really sounds like you need a vacation. Maybe you should think about it. And yeah, the panties fashion line - we're thinking of ways to make pants with sewed on panties, so no one will have to spend more on extra underwear :PP
Kim - who do you think inspired this new fashion idea? ;)
mesjay - maian chu kan lak leh veleh chawei ah ka rawn sawm tawh ang che, tunah rih chuan kan source pui an lo sam fai vek a :( source dang zawn leh a ngai. Fashion lam hi chu, ka sang lo lutuk a if I change jobs, and do fashion instead, I'd probably be out begging in the streets all the time. lol

Lucy - hahah Unfortunately that's not sparkling wine, but those decorative jelly balls that we keep in water in a wine glass :) I get the thirst though :D
virgo - hehe keini pawh, a bula dawr a lo thru te bulah 'Kan pet rabbit ta tur' ti vel hmaks :)
Clay - that'sa good idea, I think we can try it here too. If the conservatives don't protest too much.
