And we’re in 2012...

So another one is archived to bring out later and reminisce about…all the good things and bad…to compare with the current one and, depending on the mindset at the moment, lament or rejoice.

For the last couple of years I have been feeling increasingly apathetic about New Year celebrations. Of course, I have celebrated with friends on some occasions and enjoyed it too, yet that happens only when initiated by others and my participation remains quite limited.

This year seems to indicate a pattern for the years to come. This year TH and I returned home from rehearsals for our new play at about 9:00 p.m., I made roast chicken, we enjoyed dinner with some good wine, listened to old songs, had comfortable and easy conversation and hit the sack by 12:30 a.m. I enjoyed the evening.

The next day TH and I discussed how we didn’t feel like being in bright, noisy places and were content to be by ourselves and at home too.

We think we might be getting older (and, hopefully, wiser) :)

P. S. Happy New Year to all ! Hope this year brings you much joy and peace :)

Oh, I so agree with the part about being by yourselves and in the comforts of your home :-)

Loud boisterous crowds hold no appeal at all to me, unless it's a conscious decision to attend a rock/pop concert, hehe :P

We're definitely getting older, but I'm not too sure if I'm getting wiser, LOL!

We're already in April heading to May! Hope the year has been treating you well :-)

How NOT to compère a function

Recently I attended an awards ceremony. It was a grand function with a huge audience in attendance. Many awards were given and some speeches too. The compère was, unintentionally, terribly funny ! In this function, when the compère announced the first award winner, he announced, “Please welcome on stage Mr. X (pause) married to (pause) wife Mrs. X (pause) from 1977 and successfully (pause) completed 32 years of (pause) married life…” I had tears in my eyes from laughing too hard :D Later, the same compère, while telling the audiences about a certain award winner, said, “…he is married (pause) to wife Mrs. Z (pause) and enjoys playing with his (pause) children K and M. His favourite (pause) holiday destination is (pause) the beaches (pronounced as ‘bitches’) of (pause) Goa” I nearly died choking with laughter for this one ! In the 45 minutes that he was on stage he was responsible for much hilarity due to his totally inappropriate commentary. I, of course, laughed my guts out and what c

‘Geographically challenged’

I laughed my guts out while reading this . Then I had another bout of laughter thinking of all the incidents that happen with me. For a long time now I have known that I am, what I like to call, ‘geographically challenged’ :) Situation 1 - If I go inside a building (happens mostly with residential buildings), then after I exit the lift (elevator) or come down the stairs, I cannot quickly locate the gate ! Situation 2 - If I am inside a building, I will routinely point in wrong directions to indicate places outside the building. Situation 3 - I am presently at office. I have come here from home. Now I have to go to some place where I have always gone from home and never from office. What do I do ? I go home first and from there I go to that place. It doesn’t matter if it is a longer distance or takes more time. I have to do this, because simply have no mechanism to re-align my mental map to my present location ! Situation 4 - Another thing is that if I have come to your place in
