Wife Beater

Learnt a new phrase last week - Wife Beater. I had no idea and would have never guessed it could refer to an under garment. Only in this country...

E-Mail Time Capsule

Email To The Future
http://forbes.codefix.net/capsule/

Forbes has an application where you can send yourself an email and it will be delivered in 20 years. The project ends Nov 30, 2005.

I have to think about it. What will I tell myself in 20 years? What I am doing now? What my aspirations are now and for the future? I don't know. Let me sleep on it.

Men and Women and Weight

Chick Pea sent me this today. I thought they were hilarious.

Interesting article in the New York Times about trends in feminism and the dilemmas of modern women.

MTV Desi has been launched. This could probably be my only excuse to cut my cable and get a dish. I so miss Indian Pop music. Last time I went to India (a while ago, about 3 years and more may be), I bought a bunch of hindi remixes and desi pop CDs. I loved them.

But don't want to sign a year's contract with dish though. Planning to move out of my apartment in less than a year's time. MTV Desi will have to wait.

Cricket for India 2005

Last weekend was a bit too tiring. Actually it was just Saturday that I overdid it. AID Atlanta hosted the Cricket for India 2005 fundraiser at GA Tech SAC Fields and it lasted all day. I was the official photographer (surprise :p). The event went well. We had about 29 teams compete and I think we raised some decent funds perhaps not as much as we expected. But standing all day doing this, and later playing a match on behalf of AID was exhausting. It ended at around 7 pm after starting at 8.30 am in the morning. After that I volunteered to go to Raksha's 'Ek Shaam' event to distribute flyers for our upcoming Shobana event. Had to stand again until 12.30 am in the night. I was so beat I slept all of Sunday. Not looking forward to the second half of this event next Saturday. :(

On the better side, it was nice not to absolutely nothing at all on a Sunday. Plus I got to play James Bond on PS2 with my nephew. We have been strategizing to beat the final chapter for a while now and I think we are getting close.

MJQ

Last Friday night was Net IP social meeting. Found a cool T-shirt online. It wasn't really my idea. Chick Pea thought of it first of course. Got a lot of attention wearing it which is always nice. :) Thanks, Chick Pea.

Went to MJQ on Saturday around 11pm with friends. It was a lot of fun. The music was just loud enough. It got a little crowded later on. But overall it was a great place for a Sat. night. Went to Steak and Shake afterwards at around 2 am. Couldn't order a steak so had just a shake instead :). It was 4 am by the time I got home. Exhausted!
