@ lostworld: Hi! I dont know when I’d get new ones! But THANK GOD!…after a mild heart attack and loads of panic attacks, I found my one diamond and gold earring!!
After checking in the hotel, a look of a tired me in the mirror revealed that an earring was missing! Frantic looks here and there, ended in the Taxi! And FOUND it! Though the back screw could not be found! 🙁
I’ve been to Chennai many times and everytime, either the breakfast or the dinner for the day was at Sarwana Bhawan!! It’s just amazing!
Would love to see your 8 wonders!!

@ Kaddu: Why do you keep giving the impression that you do not like tags, when you do them so amazingly!!
Sa Re Ga…is good! I used to passive watch it too (for some time!), coz my mom is an ardent fan of this program!! 🙂
August 28, 2009 2:14 pm|
@ Shilpa: Tom and Jerry, defies age group categorization!! Everybody likes them!! And it’s so very refreshing and always brings a smile!!
@ Dhiman: Yeah, Sarabhai…is very witty and intelligent comedy!! All the characters are so very entertaining!! 🙂
August 28, 2009 2:28 pm|
@ avdi: Your 8 wonders tag is just superb!! Loved it!! 🙂

August 28, 2009 2:39 pm|
Hee hee hee! 😀
I like them when I’ve got nothing else to write about… but recently, I’ve been like ‘flooded’ with them! Hence, the temporary dislike! :p
August 28, 2009 4:41 pm|
“Be chary of giving advice, wise don’t need it and fools don’t heed it!” – well it drove me to think over the recent incident of me advising my brother-in-law as he was posing me a weirdy look. I’m n’t clear whether he did not that or did not heed that…
Nicely written Shilpa 🙂
August 28, 2009 4:48 pm|
@ Musings of a lonely traveler: My experience tells me not to give advice…(though I keep giving it still and remember the learning later, when I get the weird look or the patronizing look!!) 🙂
August 28, 2009 5:44 pm|
