*Tap..Tap* I should've had more fun today..Oh Well- Pictures!
Yay!
Okay this is super messed up, but on the last day of the exams I was meant to have have cheered and day-dreamed about my Aussie trip and gone out for dinner and maybe drinks and partied the night away.
Instead what I did do was walk down to the 'New Zealand Ice Cream' shop at my uni, get ditched for Dinner (Thanks alot Kutti Mink.), get me a Berries of the Forest (or something like..whatever..I'm so addicted to it) Sorbet, head back home, checked my mail..watched TV, checked my mail, played with my dog, had an hour long talk with Dad regarding The Future And How I Was Not Doing The Best That I Was Capable Of Doing Because I Really Am Quite Intelligent But Extremely Lazy.
So the conversation ended with an uncharacteristic uneasiness inside of me.
Dammit I hate dissonance! I hate it with a vengeance.
Its also really frustrating when you check your mail and all you have is Hotmail telling you that your account size has increased. Delete. Thank you for that Hotmail, hopped onto the bandwagon a little late didn't we. Tell you what Hotmail; I'll hang onto my Gmail Account anyway..But really. Keep up the good work.
No I'm not PMS-ing.
And even if I were, the above are still good excuses to whine.
On the other hand..I am feeling a little uplifted thinking about how my friends are actually looking forward to me visiting Australia (Yes, they are and No, I'm not delusional, dammit!)
I'll be going in June for about 3 weeks..Last year was such a blast it would've been a travesty not to do it again!
So here's a small pictoral trip down memory lane...
This was at Flinder's Street Station. There's a bus there that says "Melbourne" many times over, in case you happen to forget where you are. Seriously though the station looks lovely and I think there's a story about how the designs for this station and the design for another station in India got mixed up (designed by the same guy), hence Flinder's St Station has a supposedly Indian look about it. If I'm wrong please send all blame mail to Arpu. She told me the story.
This pic might look familiar..t'was my old profile picture..anyway there's me, Dev and Siddhart (Dev's friend). Arpu you capture my left profile so well! This was at a pub we visited after we went salsa dancing. So there we were, tired, happy, hungry and drinking...
And here's the moral of the story.
Don't Drink on an Empty Stomach. Especially not when there's a camera around to capture stuff that you do. Thank you Dev. You capture my moustache profile so well!
Hey..don't look at me. Some guy's are into this sorta thing *shrugs*
This was where I had my little pant debacle. If you're ever at Fitzroy street, PLEASE do yourself a favour and visit 'Monroe's'. Their dessert is OUT of this WORLD. Best sticky date pudding I ever had. Also the ghost images in this pic are SO COOL. I was telling the waiter how to click ("JUST HOLD THE BUTTON DOWN!") He STILL didn't get the technique quite right but hey..makes for a cool pic!
Okay So Arpu and I were in the city, really bored. So we came across this place - The Immigration Museum.
Mm'kay.
No. Not going inside. I'd rather spend that money on drinks.
"Arpu just take a pic of me outside the museum. At least I can show my parents that I did something educational."
I love this pic! It has such a nice monochrome tone to it..it's the colours! Anyway that's Arpu, Me and Dev's brother Ravi (who, by the way, plays bass guitar in a band called 'Skybombers' they're relatively new and not on radio yet..I think.. but they're on myspace.com so check 'em out!) in the city.
This is the BEST. This was when we had all driven down to see the 12 Apostles..seriously people...look up breath-taking in the dictionary and you'll see the 12 Apostles. One of the most amazing sights you'll ever see. I went mad with joy there (this involved a lot of running and jumping and laughing and squealing..which under normal circumstances you will not see me do a lot of..well except the laughing bit.) This pic is a keeper!
AAh there's so much more but blogger's picture uploading tool is such a bitch and I can't be arsed to sit and wait for this to load. Maybe later..
But I am a lot more cheered up now, thanks! =D
Take care guys and have an awesome weekend!

i've been reading your blog for a while. esp love your observations the indian uncle & aunty community !
This might be purely co-incidental of course, but I noticed that most of your pics feature your left profile more prominently than the right. Is that something you do consciously?
I ask because I've always thought my right profile sucked and therefore do the exact same thing o_0
my brother lives there, havent seen him 3 years!!! time for me to go and visit
grafx - oh no oh no!! was it something i said?!
hehe thank you smithy! i thought the moustache totally bought out the colour of my eyes =D
my my dev! that comment was so nice! so uncharacteristically nice! was it nice out of fear? or was it because of the blackmail? :P
yes devvv i will watch BSG..
cant wait man ..cant bloody WAIT!
sirisha - LOL!
haha actually sirisha the thing is, my nose is bent slightly towards the left (had a fall when i was a baby) so yes..my left profile looks a MILLION times better than my right..whats your excuse for the left profile?? hey do visit again!
aditya - haha u should!
Well as for me, quite a few things are wrong with the right side of my face. The hairline's weird and the bone at my right temple's shaped different from the left one. Even my eyebrows aren't exactly the same shape (the left one's way better), though threading helps remedy this somewhat.
Actually many people say they can't tell the difference, but to me it's so glaringly obvious, I just think they're being nice or something!
And I'll definitely be visiting again. In fact I'm going to link you, if you don't mind :)
My daddy went to australia once. He brought back Kangaroo Jerky :) I ate it.
Don't get in trouble with any Kangaroos there. Remember, all they are is big rats.

@Casa- What is this? dropping random hints in other peepal's blogs? :P
oooh, I'm jealous! I'd love to go to Australia someday - however the thought of a flight that long scares me - because I just know that if there's any kids on the plane, they'd be right behind me, kicking my seat the whole damn flight!
I wish I wasn't anonymous. I'd love to be as vain as you on my own blog.
