The Burrito Story

Here is how, my friend says, the country has increased her appetite with its magnum-sized helpings...

"So, when i first landed in Baastan [sic] 4 years ago, my first meal was a burrito. i had that burrito for THREE meals, i swear. then I came to texas 2 years ago, and found the burritos 50% even larger, and it took me 3 meals to eat it. now i can eat 90% of it in one meal, sometimes even the whole thing."


Super Size Me ?

I have never ever picked up any of his other books after reading The Alchemist. When i saw some more of his books in the shelf and was told that my brother bought them, i told myself, "iske reading taste ka kuch karna padega". but once in a while, he does make sense.

"Don't allow your wounds to transform you into someone you are not."

Thank you for this wisdom, Mr. Coelho !

Summing-up my past week.

It hasnt hurt in a while. do i dare to think that i am doing okay ?

It is possible that a person may be one of your favourite people, but you may not be great friends or be really close to that person.

Speaking about one such person, i got a great news from him. but i sense a reluctance on his part to celebrate. also, does he sense that i sense that he hasnt really moved on ? well, i may be guilty of psychoanalyzing him. i wish he had the confidence in me to talk about it. and here i am, telling myself that i need to respect his privacy.

I need to stop myself from finishing an entire pack of Alpenliebe (ten pops) in one go.

When you face rejection in a relationship, it hurts mostly on two accounts. a general hurt that one cannot be with that person, spend more time and grow closer, anymore. and the other thing that is hurt is one's pride. the latter part is incredibly hard to admit, even to one own self.

There is something incredibly comforting about eating ice-cream directly from a tub.

Foibled Spirit said that i "tend to abstain from alcohol for months together and then one day, dive into it like a fish dives into water." :D i am only living-up to my zodiac sign !

Both, yes BOTH my laptops decided to die on me the very same day.

Ahh Life, have I every stopped wondering at you ?

It is always a liability to know anyone, even one own self, too well.

We - I

I have the characters in place. i need is a good screenplay. an interesting story that interlinks the following characters, who btw, are friends.


Charater 1 is in this forbidden relationship, one that seems real, but the stress of the forbidden fruit might be too much to handle. can she really find her happiness in it ?
Character 2 longs for this person who could be the one, but the ghosts of her past wont let her pursue.
Character 3 had the fairly-tale wedding. but then became the adult.
Character 4 cant have a relationship for more than a few months at a stretch. but each relationship leaves deep wounds in its wake. what is she seeking ?
Character 5 is older, wiser, cautioning others on the mistakes of her life. but were they really mistakes or a life lived on her terms ?

We have come a long long way since starting out eleven years ago.

P.S.: one of the characters is me.

P.P.S.: all characters are real-life ones.
