chasing storms

I have heard of people chasing storms and tornados with their wacky gadgets and cameras...and now look at this.
The poor victims of Katrina come to Houston to seek refuge and guess what happens-Rita..Damn! This world is sure unfair!

Time to task

I just realized that more than the time taken to complete a task, the time taken to pander to its dependencies delay it. I mean, take this morning for instance, I was setting right my space..I needed chai..so came into the kitchen to make some nice chai and guess what? I had undone dishes..well, so, had to do dishes..since I wanted to finish my dish washing once and for all, I had to clear last nite's left overs. Now while clearning the previous nite's left overs, I realized I had no space in my trash can, which means I had to throw my trash out. To throw my trash out, I needed to change into some decent clothes ( I couldn't run out in my nite pjs).And while I was thinking about where my clothes were, I realized I had to do laundry to find one decent wear. Ok, now laundry sounds fine,but then I needed..well you guessed it..quarters!! Ahem..hunt, hunt..no quarters. I had a $20 bill though. The only way I could get change without getting out of home..heheheheh(that is villanous laugh), order home delivery of food! (Wow! how cool am I??). So I just picked the phone, placed an order for chinese food with instructions to bring quarters. I don't even want to think what the guy who took my orders was wondering. Hopefully, I get my chai! :)

never have preferances

as a traveller. I am always smitten by the travel bug (what were you expecting?). I realized recently that as a traveller, one needs to take a vagabond cloak with her. Like in "Le Chocolat", one needs to go where the north wind blows.

It dawned on me that by having preferences towards one city, I am missing out on seeing the beauty of another one. Those who know me, know how fanatic I am about mes favoris. Each place is like a clear pearl, fresh cup of coffee..needs to be enjoyed for its own classic beauty. It would do great injustice to compare cities. See the city, live the life of the dailies in the cities, walk the streets, sense the sights and sounds and don't think of your favorite one. No two cities are alike, they shouldn't and needn't be. What different experience would I enjoy, if they were? And so, well, I need to look around more..come back home after every trip with a different color of sensation in my head..Wonder how different I would be as I sink my feet into the sands of another city :).

I still can't help it ;). Et Finalement, J'ai trouve mon cite aux Etats-Unix..les petites rues, les grands boulevards, les bisous, le vent, le sens, les mains :). Tu sais bien que je parle de toi..

apple and motorola

While I was driving yesterday, I was thinking about the possibility of integration cell phone and ipod. Guess what I found today. Next time such brainwave sweeps me over, I am going to call the next prospective angel investor I know!

work..else

Ananth : You'd better get back to work lady, otherwise you wouldn't have money for gas
Me: Yeah , true
(after two seconds of thinking)
Me: Funny part is, even if I work, I won't have enough money for gas.
