it is officially cold which is perfect because the sweaters i ordered just arrived. i got to wear one this evening to watch 'khuda ke liye'. i dont blame you if you've never heard of it. it's a pakistani movie. mother refused to watch goal. she claimed i had mentioned it had gotten bad reviews [note to self - idiot!] plus she really wanted to see the movie with naseeruddin shah in it [the man makes a five minute guest appearance towards the end!] and sure the movie wasn't terrible but there was no dhandhanaadhan in it. i wanted filmy damn it! gay cousin who doesn't know he's gay yet stared at a poster of srk's abs with a sad look on his face. i told him id go watch it with him again if he wanted. then mother embarrassed everyone by making a scene at the food stand because they had run out of samosas. you'd think the woman was forced to eat popcorn. i mean there were chicken rolls and chaat and pakoras and chai. sometime i think she forgets we're not in india. it doesn't help of course when we're surrounded by people in shiny outfits. what is with desi people wanting to wear mirror work chiffon salwars in the winter? and what is with gay cousin who doesn't know he's gay yet referring to it as 'full jaam jaam'?
my aunt is visiting us for thanksgiving. and the rest of the week apparently! anyway she is the psychiatrist in the family so you cant really have a normal conversation with her. she's always analyzing you and she does a terrible job of hiding it. earlier this afternoon around oneish i stumbled out of my room to get some coffee only to find her, mother and gay cousin who doesn't know he's gay yet in the middle of a very detailed analysis on the life of my uncle's wife whom they all hate very much. that poor poor lady! i see nothing wrong with her. she wears pretty sarees and she always brings chocolate. however not wanting to ruin the holiday spirit i joined them at once! a conversation with my mum and her sisters is never dull. plus with psychiatrist lady in the mix and gay cousin who doesn't know he's gay yet interrupting every five minutes to ask another totally inappropriate question it was ridiculously entertaining. see now this is the kind of filmy i like.
p.s blogger tells me my last post was my 250th. for someone with no social life i sure find a lot to talk about. maybe this is why i have no social life. how's everyone else's weekend going?

LOL @ Full jaam jaam. My dad's driver in hyderabad used that term a lot. "Saar full jaam jaam ga vundi a bazaaru"
my weekend was pretty bleah. i sat at home trying to get work done and you know how that goes. i got sick of seeing no updates on blogs which implied that everyone else was having a real life. i knew i could count on you. :p
my weekend was ok...rainy, cold then kinda snowy and a dull loooooong drive
250 Posts Woot!
its fucking cold and I hate it.
what is with desi people wanting to wear mirror work chiffon salwars in the winter?
and will somebody please issue a notice in public interest that sporty wind-cheaters and winter coats AND socks and shoes don't go with those salwaars. more so the jaam jaam ones. ugh
lol :)
Full jaam jaam :-) I have never heard this expression before but can't wait to use it. (except I doubt anyone will follow) I'm a new reader, so catching up on all the old posts.
ggop: heee. i doubt it too. but you can try.
