Another day in the life of Cattie. What better, than to make it special by writing a Blog!
Seriously, this sickness of mine has expended all my Enthusiasm in Life. Constantly running for diagnosis, then to the Docs, then to Hospital, then the hateful tablets. And when you end up in the same status quo, how enraged would you feel? Now come what may, I’m not going to bother anymore. Let the fluid gather in the lung, or let the pains start. Cattie’s just gonna Live Life Kingsize(as SRK says), and ignore the small stones on the road. Bang Bang! What will I gain by undergoing operation after operation? Maybe a few years longer to live? But it’s also a few lacs lesser to live with and a whole lot of pains and problems to undergo. So why do it? “Live With IT”. When its time for me, to say “Alvida”, I’ll go gracefully. Why struggle and fight against Life?
With Mediclaim now, every hospital has its own “Mediclaim Dept”, to “help its patients”. The nurses and doctors are so concerned with the paperwork, more than their treatments. Looks like Mediclaim has not only benefitted the common man, but is also making doctors and hospitals more richer. Think about it.
Bollywood movies are desperately trying to cross the benchmark of 100 Cr. No one’s bothered, what the movie conveys to the common man. But yes, we did learn some great one liners, “Never Under-Estimate the Power of a Common Man”. Somehow I love this sentence and also the man who said it, my SRK. If you do watch TV, try catching “Sleeping with the Enemy” starring Julia Roberts.
I must put up a gadget in my car for watching movies. I have such a talkative driver, he yaks and yaks(just like his madam perhaps!) and sometimes, I have to turn the Fm on real loud, to stop his chatter.
This month the “End of Season Sales” really hit all Malls in a big way. People were seen pushing each other to get the “lucky available piece at drop jaw prices”. Well not to mention, that a particular “cat” was seen is most of the sales shops! hehhehhehhehehehhe! One thing did U guys realize? Everyone is advertising to “Shop Shop and Shop”. But 2 Sites are totally different. “OLX and Quikr”. They tell you seriously “Sell off all the Unwanted Stuff in your house(which we bought shopping BTW) and get money”. QUIKR.Com par Bhej Dhalo. Crazy World.
Starbucks are opening up in a big way, at every Mall or every “round the corner”. But if you happen to go to the crowded outlets, you never enjoy it. Try the outlet which is starving for a customer and then walk in like a royal Cat and see the preferential treatment that you get there. Don’t say I didn’t tell U so! hehehhehehe!.
Talking of coffee, I had gone “sale shopping” to the mall and my driver gets very fidgety if I keep him waiting too long. Since I knew I wud be in Westside for a long time, I told him to shut up and sit down at the coffee shop on the ground floor and ordered a Cappuccino for him and then vanished into Westside. On the way back home, he was grumbling about the coffee and I asked him what the issue was. He said(in hindi) “What Madam, you gave me a coffee costing Rs 150/- and simply wasted your money on it. What did they do? They gave me a big cup with coffee in it and put some Leaf Design on top of my coffee. What I’m going to do with that leaf design? Hardly had I mixed my coffee and the leaf design disappeared and I drank it and the leaf went inside my stomach”. I was ROFL! BTW, I must tell U guys that my Driver cooks the best ‘mutton kheema’. He usually loves cooking and bringing along dabbas to my house on weekends. The kheema is ‘Out of this World’! If only, I could buy him a hotel and give him! But I don’t wanna lose a good driver. Hehhehehhehehhehe!
I just luv the printed leggings and jeggings that’s hit the stores, especially Online ones. The patterns are awesome, though I wonder why some gurls are not experimenting with the new patterned leggings. I go crazy buying the various patterns and mixed colors and teaming them up with the correct color combination kurtis is exciting. My GF’s in office say that I am crazy in fashion dressing, cause I wear clothes, that they are too terrified to wear, lest it does’nt suit them. They say “All clothes and fashions looks good on Cattie”, but that’s because I experiment and carry it off well. Isn’t it? hehehhehehehhee!
Next new thing hitting Fashion lines are Bling Jewellery. I just love them. Especially bracelets and bangles. And rings, my latest craze. What I hate most is those high Credit Card bills! This Diwali, I gifted all my Gurlies in office, a pair of anklets for Diwali and I had the most fun, walking around, with the ching ching noises. There’s this ‘Duh’ guy in our office, whose nose is always buried in work.(I hate people who don’t enjoy their lives) So I went up to him and tapped my feet on the floor, in front of him, making the ching ching noise, and said “Hey Rams, look what I’m wearing”. He turned, looked down at my feet and said “Oh!, U bought a new pair of shoes huh?”. Everyone LOLed and I screeched at him for not noticing my pretty anklets! Guys! Uff!
So who watched Big Boss 7. I guess entire India did? Cattie did. Seriously, every single day, I was glued to the screen, watching them fight and love and fight again. This season was real fun. I enjoyed Andy and Armaan’s madness. Then wildcard entry Ahjas added lots of spice. It was fun watch him romance Gauhar Khan and then poke between her and his stupid beau. She surely deserves better than that weirdo Kushal! She’s so talented, seriously, some good director should put her in some meaty roles!
The other day, I wanted to order some flowers and cake for one of my Mom’s friends in Bangalore. So I went online for sites in Bangalore and discovered this Bakery called “Amma’s Cakes”. I ordered from a site selling them and Aunty smsed me back saying that I was so sweet to pick “Amma’s Cakes” for her Birthday and she was full of praises for its superb taste. So U Bangalore guys or anyone going to Bangalore, do stop at “Amma’s Cakes” and have a bite for me please! hehhehhehhehhehehehe!
Being an Anglo-Indian, I sort of like speaking and writing “Full Spellings” and hate these sms short forms. I feel its spoiling everyone’s spellings. What about the kids in school. Imagine, the must be spelling “Awesome as Ossam” and “Superb as Souperb”. Why all this crap? Short Forms like “Pic, LOL” are Ok, but why change the spelling of a good word? What do you think? Then there are more outrageous things like calling your butt a “Tooh” as in movie ‘Gori Tere Pyaar Mein’!
Talking of movies, have you guys seen ‘Shudh Desi Romance’? Seriously, that movie has not got an inch of ‘Desi Romance’, its more like ‘Modern Western Romance’! That film actually propagates “Live In Relationships”. They show you a love story where two youngsters are in love, but just cannot seem to ‘Tie the Knot’. And poor Rishi Kapoor is perpetually trying to keep up the ‘Marriage Spirit’. So throughout the film, they show the gurl and guy, running away from the marriage pandal and yet, listen to this, ‘They Live Together’. Finally at the end of the film, they both ‘realise’ that its silly to force themselves into commitments, so why be unhappy? So they “Continue Living Together”(Sans Marriage)! Seriously, what’s going to happen to these college kids later on?
Whatever, I have a major objection here. Why the hell, did they not have this “Live in Sans Marriage” Concept, when I was in my 20’s? Atleast I could have had “Live In Relationships” with Brad Pitt, Bradley Cooper, Ashton Kutcher(I Luv him) and Ranbir Kapoor. Who watches “Two and a Half Men”, with Wowie Ashton Kutcher. Well, I know this Cat dreams a lot, but atleast I cud have had a ‘Live In’ with my Bengali BF! hehehheheheehehhehehhhehe!
Well, I’m running out of time. Got to ‘Chat’. Smile and Watch “Comedy Nights with Kapil, every weekends, at 10 p.m., on Colors, Its too Gud and True also!.
Love
Cattie
