Happy Holi to all my readers....
have been a little busy since last few days, and by busy I mean lazy...so since today is Holi I had no choice but to wish you all and finally update my blog.
Starting from where I left, my Food Production exam went well. My chef said I could have done much better...but even then he was happy enough to give me an 'A'!!! And yes I got a chicken preparation-white chicken stew to be exact! Yay!
These last few days have been quite a journey. In this last week I have honestly learnt a lot about myself and others. Stuff or rather emotions that I never thought I would feel -I felt. Stuff I never thought I would think about-I thought. To name a few...
1. On Thursday, me and a few friends of mine had attended a party. Long story short-there were 6 of us girls together and 3 out of us 6 were drunk and got high. I was obviously not one of those 3.
The 'drunk trio' became crazy when we reached back to the hostel. They suddenly started to cry, suddenly started to laugh...suddenly started to dance, suddenly started to sing...oh man it was entertaining..one of them kept falling everywhere..we had to put our mattresses on the floor in case they don't fall on their heads and hurt themselves...one of them cried 'cause she couldn't help but feel that her friends would leave her someday..so she kept saying, "don't leave me...don't leave me..". The 2nd one cried because her ex-boyfriend didn't love her enough...the 3rd one...I don't even know where to start and end about her.
All the while when all them were talking(and crying!), I couldn't help but wonder what this drug alcohol is.
Its bad for you when you exceed your limit. But in my opinion, one should consume more of it when one is low or down. That way you get to take it all out and get free from your emotions without even knowing it..so that way the truth always comes out...I maybe wrong..or rather I may be sending out a wrong message, but I'll go with my theory....I couldn't help but get amazed by this thing called alcohol and wonder about what the hell happens inside that brain of your's once you start gulping down glasses of vodka or whiskey or whatever....
2. WHAT DO I DO IF I HAVE A CRUSH ON SOMEBODY AND HE IS GOING OUT WITH SOMEBODY ELSE???? KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST CRUSHES I HAVE EVER HAD AND I DON'T LIKE THAT "SOMEBODY ELSE"!!!!!!
3. About a year back my biggest and grandest dream was to be able to solve an accountancy problem...but now...I want to travel the whole world. And I mean the whole world. I want to do the catering for the Academy Awards i.e. the Oscars(Wolfgang Puck -I am coming!) and 3rd I want to settle down in Italy..anywhere in Italy and open a branch of small but successful restaurants and own a vineyard. Though currently I know nothing about wines..its a pretty deep subject...but life hasn't finished right?
Oh man I have matured!
4. I also dream of working with the following organisations someday. After 15-20 years of doing well as a chef, I want to work with UNESCO or WHO and I also want to work with the LANCE ARMSTRONG FOUNDATION for CANCER. My restaurants will keep running, but alongside I will also be doing such social work. Oh yes how can I forget the main thing- Work with the former vice-president of United States of America, honorable AL Gore on the issue of GLOBAL WARMING.
BIG THINKING ISN'T??? But I love it when I think like this....I love MYSELF when I dream about all this stuff....
Anyway, I guess that's all for today...
ciao!

preaching.so excuse me.let me correct you on the issue of alcohol.any drug will do the same as you said.but taking drugs is a strict no-no.so is alcohol.so dont try it when u r low.its never the solution. it gradually increases and becomes THE problem in many ways. alcohol is to be taken, at the right age, for the right purpose...enjoyment.not to get over a problem.it never does.

Hi Shagun!! - Waking up to another 'hilarious' post of yours! :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed reading it - thoroughly!!
You have stated soooo many points that I too, have a lot I'd like to say... for EACH one... :)
So, I'll come to each one at a time ( - to 'contribute' a little of my 'piece-of-mind'!! )
First of all! CONGRATS.. for getting an 'A'... in your Food Prod. Exam! (Its great isn't it, when you get the 'preparation' you are CONFIDENT about... makes it a 'cake-walk'...oops, I mean.. 'chicken-walk'!
Now, yes - I'm sure the party was good fun - and so was the 'entertainment' meted out by the 'drunk trio'... (yes, I know, it can be sooo funny... when you watch people doing 'silly' stuff!)but I'm a firm believer in two things - one, what is 'lady-like'... (and what is not!) and second - EXCESS.. of 'anything'... can be BAD for you - in the long run!
Just like, darling Chef-in-the-making - you'll agree.. even 'Cholestrol' can be 'bad' for the heart if not kept 'in-check'!!
Alcohol (- or drugs!) are NEVER going to help you! Whether in getting the 'emotions' out or finding 'solutions' to the problems of life!
Shagun, sweetheart, you should NEVER.. look at an 'OUT-SIDE' factor..for 'relief'or 'release'!
Coz.. that means you become 'dependent' on it!! And, then you start becoming 'addicted' to it.. coz you slowly stop 'thinking'.. with your OWN BRAIN and INTELLIGENCE!!
These 'outside' - substances (alcohol/ drugs etc.) become your 'crutches'.... coz they 'disable' you!!
These things NEVER 'enable' you... or make you 'strong'...only 'weak' and 'disorientated'!!
Now, the 'scientific' TRUTH! 'Hard' drinks... like Vodka, Whisky - Rum etc. have such high 'alcohol' percentage - that ONLY - MEN - can 'tolerate' its 'potency'!! Girls/ women have such 'biological' constitution that they CANNOT 'tolerate' its 'effect' as MEN can - thus, they get 'drunk' too quickly.. and become like the 'drunk trio'!!
Also, being a 'lady' - Shagun - you must always remember there is a difference between being 'happy-tipsy' and 'drunken and disorderly'!! It is - sometimes - 'sweet' - and 'charming' too, when you are a 'little' tipsy... but it makes the most 'beautiful' of women look 'ugly'.. if they become sooo drunk that they lose 'control' of their words and 'acts'!! Not only is it - NOT graceful and dignified.. but MEN (BOYS!) don't RESPECT.. such girls/women ( - in 'reality')!
And, to be 'RESPECTED'... under AAALLLL circumstances, Shagun, is part of a strong 'CHARACTER'... that a girl/woman must always... ALWAYS... possess!!
'Wines'... are good!!! - hehehehe.. I'd like to think of them as 'classy' stuff... good for the girls! And, even 'cocktails' are nice!!
Important thing is - not to 'forget' stuff... but to always be 'aware' of all that you say or do.. sweetheart, in life and amongst people!!
EVERY ACT/WORD of yours should be with the INTELLECT and MIND... placed in the 'RIGHT' gears!!
Hahahaha... sorry, for the loooonnngggg 'lecture'.. but now, you know why I said.. I'll pick up one point of yours at a time.. :)
Have a superb day, today, m'dear!!
Take care!
P.S. Hope you don't mind my 'lecture' - but this is the 'stage' of your life when, I feel, some 'concepts' should be VERY CLEAR to you as you make your way forward in life ( - keeping in mind all your 'dreams'.. you gotta accomplish!)
thank you papa and miss neena for your comments..and don't worry I am not indulging in alcohol now...its just that when I saw my friends the other day..it just got my mind working...
ReplyDeleteanyway, and don't worry I don't take such things as 'lectures'..I like motivational speaking.
Hello Shagun!
ReplyDeleteThanks!... For giving me the 'approval'!! :)
You see, some things call for a (good) 'lecture' and some things are great point for 'discussion' and light 'chit-chat'... like the NEXT point of your blog!!
Ah, you know, Shagun, I may have turned into a grey-haired -old- Aunty - hehehe...but 'LOVE'... hahahaha.. continues... to be one of my 'favourite' topics in life!! :)
So, here we are - with the 'topic' of your 'dream-boat' - your 'heart-throb' - your 'life-n-soul' of 'existence'.. in the present moment in time!! (Oh, is he 'dishy'?? 'Hot'?? Or maybe... 'vAAry, vAAry... sexy?) - hahahaha....
O.K. - Let's be 'SERIOUS' now!! :)
Point 1 - Forget that 'somebody else'.. he's - supposedly - 'going-out-with' right now!! - Yup, you heard me right! - Forget HER... GOOD, BAD, SEXY or SMART... who cares!!!
We are 'interested' in the 'MAN' you like - right!! - So, m'dear, I say... keep your 'focus' on the 'correct' person! HIM... not HER!!
Point 2 - If you say 'crush'... then it means it's still ruled by the 'hormones' - as you say! - and the 'thoughts' are all - 'up in the air'.. right now.. which means.. you are - still - just 'dreaming' about him!
LET'S GET 'REAL'!! - And, THAT means... take a piece of paper and WRITE down in 'black n white' - WHY?.. are your 'attracted' to him? - His Looks? Personality? - Like 'good' talker.. sense of humour... popularity etc.- BE 'EXACT!
Point 3 - Then, look at his 'friends'... Yup, his 'circle' of 'buddies'! I am sure you've heard the saying 'birds of a feather flock together'?.. His 'friends' ( -just like YOUR 'friends' - 'group' of 'people' you 'hang out with -)... says a LOT about you/him! Do you have 'things' in common - e.g. is he a - good - guy?.. A 'naughty' - or a 'bad' boy?.. Generous? Friendly?.. Considerate?..Or just 'trying-to-be-a-stud' kinda guy?... you know what I mean!
Point 4 - CHECK... NOW - do you - two - have 'things' - 'interests/hobbies' - 'life-goals/dreams' - 'nature/personality' traits etc. in 'common'?
Point 5 - If yes.... then time to 'build-up' your 'confidence' and GET 'TALKING' to HIM!! :)
If he doesn't even KNOW... that you 'EXIST'... how can - or will - things ever 'move' to the next level... of ACTUALLY 'discovering' MORE about each-other? :)
Hope this is gonna be one GOOD 'HOME-WORK' you're gonna 'enjoy' doing!! Hahahaha...
'OFFICIALLY'... dreaming about your 'beau'.. and even 'WRITING' about him... and remember, as I said in the 'beginning'... THINK ONLY of HIM... (and count that 'somebody else'... as - just - ONE - of his 'friends'... and in THAT capacity - note down her 'traits'.. as well!)
Enjoy the evening, baby!!
Have fun!!
Hi Shagun!! How are you doing, kiddo!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I just - LLOOOVVEE the new format! And, Three Amigos?!!... Hahaha... what a 'movie'!! You brought back a very 'happy' memory for me! I must have watched it a hundred times!
Hope my 'tips' for 'success' in a 'crush'-phase were of some help!! Hahaha... Shagun, honestly... I believe 'life' is for 'loving'... and to 'love' - whether, in 'reality' or in your 'dreams' - having a 'crush'! - is GOOD for you!! It adds 'meaning'..and 'colour' to life!! AND, it keeps you 'smiling' - always! :)
Ya.. now coming to your points 3 and 4!! - I - am- baby!! - all - the way - WITH - you!!.. on those!!
Coz, my 'dreams' happen to be 'huge' too! Yes, even at this 'age' - I - continue - to build my 'castleS'(plural!) in the air!! Hahaha..
Shagun, 'dreams' are like the 'blue-print' of 'life' that you'd like to 'build' - like a 'lovely-house' - for yourself!!!
Imagine, living in a 'house' that is of a 'design' which is made according to SOMEONE ELSE'S 'choice'... and to be 'living' in a 'house' of your OWN 'design'... which one would you prefer?!
That's why, baby, we MUST, MUST, keep our 'dreams' ALIVE!!
And, EACH day.. make a little 'effort that takes us CLOSER to our 'goals' we set for ourselves - as they say, 'ROME'.. wasn't built in a DAY!! ( - Oh, ya!! - Rome ... hmmmmm.. happens to be in Italy, right!! Hahaha... and the 'fashion-capital' - Milan'?! OH, wow! - Oh, wait, even the Vatican City! Superb!!)
So, here's wishing you all the BEST in your endeavors, sweetheart!
Keep dreaming 'BIG'!!! (- I love YOU too, hahaha...when you 'dream' your dreams - without any doubts or hesitation - that ONE DAY, you will 'get there', m'dear!!)
You know.. in me! - you've got a 'cheer-leader' who'd be singing and 'dancing' for you... EACH time you 'succeed' in your efforts!! :)
Have a great time!
haha..thank you so much once again..loved reading this one...and the previous one as well...
ReplyDeleteMorning Shagun! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked my comment!
Just saw your 'new' post 'changes'... this morning...
It is quite a 'deep' thought... and very well-written indeed! I'm sooo impressed with the 'maturity' you have displayed that I'll need to ( - would 'love' to!) read it a 'few' times.. before I make any 'comments' on that 'post'!
But, here, I'd like to say... that 'thanks' to you, I've decided to be a little bit more 'regular' on my own 'blog' as well!!
It's a 'great' way... isn't it?... in getting 'things' - OUT - of your 'system'!! It's like one gets the chance to 'think' ALOUD - or rather 'find' the - words - 'consciously' to grasp the 'feelings' that sometimes 'overwhelm' a person! And, when you do... slowly, everything starts falling into place!! :)
Keep it up!
Have a nice day, sweetheart!
Take care!
