born of chaos: dark secrets
http://bornofchaos.blogspot.com/2009/09/dark-secrets.html
Friday, September 25, 2009. Nurture felt slightly nauseous as Nature dunked a gulab jamun in a pool of syrup. She looked away from the pulpy mass and focussed on the task at hand. She had to teach Nature to say lurrrve, and judging by the subject’s inordinate fondness for sweets, the best way seemed to be with a dessert. 8220;I think it’s time you graduated to a more sophisticated dessert, like dark chocolate.” she spoke firmly. 8220;I remember them because they’re fascinating stories” Nurtur...8220;That...

http://bornofchaos.blogspot.com/2009/09/its-steal.html
Sunday, September 13, 2009. If you’re like me, ie the hieroglyphic symbol for loser shopper, here’s the greatest bargain you’re ever likely to get. You can share my failure for free, instead of getting your own at the cost of angst and embarrassment. One person’s masterstroke could be another person’s stroke:. My sister and I were shopping for ethnic totes at a street bazaar in. Great timing comes at a cost:. Yippee, it was sale time! Make a fresh start:. Whatever the evidence against it, I’ve star...

born of chaos: scrabble rouser
http://bornofchaos.blogspot.com/2009/11/scrabble-rouser.html
Thursday, November 5, 2009. Yesterday, I got hit on and dumped, all in the course of an online game of scrabble. It could have been the shortest chick flick plot ever, but a few things came in the way. For one, the person in question knew words like myxo and tithe, but probably hadn’t run across heterosexuality. But then again, hindsight says she might have a weakness for the word options. Because she asked: “Are you male or female? 8220;Do you enjoy being anonymous? 8221; she asked. 8220;You’re cu...

born of chaos: March 2009
http://bornofchaos.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 19, 2009. Warning: This is a longish post, but consider the fact that it's about one of the longest evenings of my life. Last Sunday, my doorbell rang late at night. I should have looked through the spyhole, but having watched Rajni on DD at an impressionable age, I opened the door instead with a bright smile on my face (don’t know how she carried it off 16 times in each episode, all I succeed in doing is to have courier guys suspiciously at my id). Baboon lisped my daughter. No baby,...

born of chaos: August 2009
http://bornofchaos.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 12, 2009. My daughter and I were watching videos of nursery rhymes on youtube. When we came across these ads:. An invitation to learn to “Speak English fluently” on the ABC song. An example of a keyword match missing out on nuances, I thought sympathetically, till I saw the next one. A chance to get an “MBA in. A university that claimed to have “. 8217;s top engineering college” appeared on a shot of a bridge collapsing during the rhyme ‘. I had always thought you couldn’t beat En...

born of chaos: December 2008
http://bornofchaos.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 12, 2008. Anyone who's reached a turning point in life will almost always tell you how it was triggered by a drastic incident. One such incident occurred to me three months ago, and I decided to turn my life by sinking the cost of a small island into the services of a personal trainer. Realizing the futility of pawning my ad portfolio, I saved money for a fortnight by hooch mooching, and then hired a sadist who was to be my gym trainer. Two and a half months later, I am a changed woman.

born of chaos: sacred rice
http://bornofchaos.blogspot.com/2012/02/sacred-rice.html
Thursday, February 9, 2012. Three days ago, I was surreptitiously comparing features of new phones, while my old waterlogged faithful was gasping in a container of rice. Well, it worked! The rice trick I mean, not the surreptitious comparisons. The ring sounds a bit nasal, but that's not shocking, after hours in cold water. The screen shows a marbled pattern that doesn't belong to any wallpaper of htc or for that matter any brand, but I could get used to it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

born of chaos: October 2009
http://bornofchaos.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 11, 2009. On Friday, I carefully engineered a casual stroll into a bookstore. Most of us have done the carefully casual ensemble and the carefully casual interest thing, but this was a first for me. I walked purposefully past the cash counter to the fiction section, then stopped by at the humour aisle, and spent a purposeful 90 seconds skimming over travel. After a respectable amount of time on non-fiction and discounted books, I walked back past the cash counter to study the new releases.
