The Big Apple Feel :)


A tiny Art store in Shahpur Jat









Shopping does make a woman feel good. And shopping today did make me feel good after a not so good week. This kind of reinstates my faith into saying “a woman can spend more than eight years of her life shopping “  After all it’s all about feeling good.

But the more interesting part of my shopping was the feel of East village in the area where I shopped. Ever since I have gotten back from New York, I miss it every now and then in many different ways. Though today was the day when I thought of it more than I missed it .Shahpur jat is like an urban village that doesn’t enjoy the normal city architecture yet it’s like a small wonder. The tiny designer boutiques located in run-down buildings selling exclusive and innovative designs in everything ranging from clothing to shoes to jewellery to home accessories and what not made me overcome the disappointment I always face in Delhi malls. Add a few pebbled streets and some brunch restaurants in the area, this place could get somewhere close to Soho in the coming years. Yes, there are no taxes on dreaming 

Shahpur Jat is a labyrinth that needs to be captured beautifully and put across the web. It’s a shame there’s not much pictures of it for people to see. May be this is like motivating me to reach out to my camera which I haven’t in years and get going 

social media- sheer bliss or sheer misery ?

Darn! These facebook statuses and activities..!! Make you feel you are such a loser in life. Everyone is happy celebrating something or the other or they are just randomly happy about anything that's ultra random in their lives. I wish I had something random happening around me to be at least happy about ...maybe I do have ...something that's definitely more than 'RANDOM' .I only fail to see it at this time.

But generally speaking, I thought this social media business was about making people's lives better...it ain't really doing so in my case...okay...maybe when I started with it , there was some sort of excitement but so far that excitement has only lessened and has now drastically come down making a negative impact .

I don't mean to say I am not happy about my friends who seem to be happy or are in love or feel more loved by their loved ones. I am only unhappy about myself. Well, not to say I have given up. I do feel my skin's getting thicker. There goes something I can be happy about :) random?

Interaction was the first ever objective of social media. Well, must say that interaction has been merely reduced to ultra unimportant updates like – “I am constipated”, “Leaving for Dubai” or worse – “Boarding my flight” as an another status update after minutes of mentioning in the last one you are going to that place …yes, the world is becoming travel friendly and tickets are a bloody steal most of the times – or they are sponsored …thanks to what not …but who needs to know when and why you got on that plane! Is it something that only happens in my city?


People who want to flash their latest phone, latest car, latest shades, latest watch, and latest underwear even – social media has added to their glory. And never understood why would people want to follow someone on twitter who’s not a part of their life...Being a crazy fan is fine but up to this level that you want to know what they are up to every other second. Does that make any difference? Not to sound like I am against this whole scenario but sometimes I feel people go over board. Guess we are living in a world of randomness and I do feel I am smitten by it sometimes.

Amateur Blogger

Okay...I am only test blogging just to see if blurting out random things can make me feel any better at the end of the day . The start does feel good :)

PMSESSSSSSSSSS !!
Technically pms occurs around you all know when. But it seems like I suffer from it at all times ...or may be I am only blowing it out of proportion and it's something normal that every womanhood member goes through at most times if not every time. The question is NOT who does it happen to and who it doesn't to ...the question is WHY THE F*** DOES IT HAPPEN TO ME !

Everything around me appears in three different forms- the good , the bad and the ugly. When I say 'everything ' , I do mean 'everything' ...and this is where the pms mode starts to take over when things get bad from good and ugly from bad ...or may be they don't but they do seem like they do , must say it's like magic that doesn't excite you in any way ...perhaps succeeds in pulling out the worst from you.

Before I start to sound like someone who needs help , or someone who's accounting for PMS for her bitchy ,moody , over-emotional and weird behaviour , I'd like to say it to myself - deal with it as a daily chore or I would certainly need help. May be the MEA project is driving me crazy. What is MEA ? I shall blog about it later in the week if it continues to drive me crazy .
