Meredith: It's not us. It's them. Them and their stupid boy...penises. They didn't tell me they have a wife. They gave absolutely no warning that they were going to break up with you.
Cristina: It's not that Burke broke up with me. It's how he broke up with me. Like it was business. Like it was a business trans- Like he was the boss of me!
Meredith: He is the boss of you.
Cristina: What's worse is that I care.
Meredith: Ugh I'm going to throw up again. [Gets up and kneels over the toilet] No. Wait. False alarm.
Cristina: The problem is estrogen.
Meredith: No, the problem is tequila.
Cristina: You know I used to be all business and then he goes and gets me pregnant.
Meredith: With his stupid boy penis.
Cristina: Now I’m having hormone surges. He ruined me. I'm ruined! He turned me into this... fat, stupid, pregnant girl. Who cares! Estrogen!
Meredith: Penises. Penises, Izzie.
Cristina: Estrogen, George.

Reel to Real Love
I know that I am a late entry into the celebrated club of Jake Ryan... But better late than never right. I was mesmerized and well a little cynical as well about the existence of such a man in the world as we live in now. I would like to believe and hope that there will be someone as nice (when he calls up Samantha's house for the first time and asks to converse with her briefly...lush!), keeps the sexuality test to himself and doesn't pass it around or worse upload it on the Internet (which would happen before the bell rang) and thirdly, he got her undies back! Aww...
So this fictional and devilishly dream boy made me think of all the boys who I have fallen in love with while watching them claim their love for their ladies in such lovely, witty, romantic, mumbling, unsure, insistent and grand gestures like holding the boom box over their head :-).
I scoured, looking for my lover through the fog and found a lit of my favorite couples on this blog I came across. She happens to have the same list as mine baring just one, yes that is right, Edward is not my fictional dream boat. But the others yes!
http://chelseaandbrian.blogspot.com/2010/06/list-fifteen-favorite-tvmovie-couples.html
That's the link to go to. I say this as a girl who doesn't let herself dream about the fictional hero, who would find her and woo her with his witty reparte, and they would then live the kind of life the girl eventually shares with her boy; crazy in love with life and with each other and blessed and happily as they are and can be. But dream ahead...
Hope springs eternal and I shall find mine (fingers crossed )the Pacey to my Joey :-)

Girls of Riyadh
So, I finally read this book eons after I had spontaneously purchased it from a airport bookstall. I would like to begin by mentioning that books purchased at the airports, usually never quite live up to the book image and the blurb that are part of the packaging content.
The book, Girls of Riyadh, pretty much stumbles upon the same stereotypical adversities the girls of Middle East have to face when it comes to marrying the man they love or their attempts in finding the one who would love them with the same fervour as they do.
It has the corny jokes, the political tensions, the rules of a stagnant society, stuck in an era of their ancestors as they try valiantly to hold on to their roots while their off-springs remove the 'veil' of the past from the face, after a successful struggle.
What is different in this book that I have read about contemporary thinking women in the Middle East is that for every mother of Gamrah there is a mother of Uri, for every Firas, there is a Tariq.
But, what gets my goat is that, all these stories, have the same story line. Which makes me think is there not a story coming from the middle east buy a woman, who does not wish to write about the difficulty of searching, and falling in love.
We get it that is extra difficult to fall in love in a country where 'love' itself as a concept is banned and is allowed only if it to be expressed to Allah. But to wax on about it for the entire book, does get a bit tedious.
And the comparison to the SATC series, is sheer absurdity. Those women, were stereotypes, not crusaders to make women sit up and demand their rights around the world. To give them a status more than that of excellent actors is ridiculous.
The author, cheats on the concept of the SATC inspired book. The series focused on the physical needs of women, expressing their needs, the emotional needs came in after the series achieved popularity all over the world, which is when its downfall began.
Women around the world, baring the west, don not talk about their physical needs, and to advertise your book as the first of its kind from the middle east, I would say 'Blah'.
Read the book, if and only if, there aren't any good magazines to purchase.

Happy Birthday Mum
Today is the birthday of a woman who comes from a long line of the most bravest and resilient women I have had a chance to know on a deeper and personal level. My mum.
Today is also the day when I was to officially graduate my MA in International Journalism. But fate intervened and I was told by email that my dissertation was not approved and hence I would be graduating next year. I am sure and certain that there was a reason for this to happen.
This belief comes from one of the numerous lessons my mum has taught me about life.
My dissertation helped me secure my three month editorial internship at Random House India where I was told that I am apt for this field. My current job at the German Book Office which organises the worlds most famous book fair ie. is the Frankfurt Book Fair involves co-ordinating a children's book festival. I was hired because my dissertation which reflects my interest in children's book and publishing. This dissertation and what it has got me so far is now helping me get a job in a company I plan to work for in the coming months. I thank the lord and my mum for supporting me in my belief that this dissertation is what I wanted to write about. Even when I was told that it does not make sense by my supervisor, you said go ahead and show her what you want to write.
I did and sadly we know what happened.
My birthday gift for you this year would be to work at the company I am feverently praying, hoping and wishing for and tell you with a smile on my face that your daughter is now a permanent employee and she has the worlds coolest job and would like to thank her dearest mother for understanding and supporting her in being who she wants to be.
Love you loads ma!

R-E-S-P-E-C-T
In our lives as single women, on the search of a the perfect man and then to become HIS perfect woman, we look at women in our lives who are comfortable in their relationship with their men.
What exactly is the cause of that comfort level, that respect which ensures a smooth relationship that defines myriad bouts of frequent temper, sole choice control and the reason for the utter devotion that would even shame a catholic!
A complete understanding of emotional blackmailing mixed with equal parts of complete surrender of your self in recognition of HIM.
Is this what I am supposed to transform myself to after I have found the man I am most compatible with. According to my D-bua YES. She not only has merged her identity with her husband, but is also programming her daughter-in-law to do the same. With her transformation underway, she has now set her eyes on me, the Bombay Girl who is in her house for three months. She has all the time in the world to fill my head with thoughts of what a woman's place in a marriage is to be like and how my manner of speaking, behaving and expression of thought should be curtailed because it doesn't suit the tempers of her GOD like male species in her house.
What she doesn't realise is that her 'wise words' reek of hypocrisy and the exhibition of the relationship between her daughter-in-law and her son, is reason enough for me to smirk at her every time she starts to talk about how nice it is they are happy because of her advice.
I may not be as 'happy' as them, but I assure you that mutual respect will occupy the top position in my relationship with my future husband along with love, trust and fidelity.
And I think we shall be alright even though my husband will have to put up with my independence and mood swings and thoughts because he chose me as his because of them :-)
