Oh, you’re in my veins...

Dear Nutties,

If someone has asked me a year back if I was going anywhere in life, I would have laughed, downed two more drinks, and said 'I don't know & I don't care!' and laughed my trademark Annie laugh. And felt the emptiness inside me, grow a tiny bit wider on my way back home, alone. 

We had been friends for so long before the thought that we could be anything else, wasnt even a valid thought. Remember how we started off? I was sitting at my desk and you had just come out of someones cabin behind me and said something loudly about Rafael Nadal. Now me, not the one who hear anything against my beloved Fed, had said that 'Nadal can never be Federer.' I didn't even know you then, and yet we had engaged into a wordplay about our favorite tennis stars! And that was it.. So simple. So insignificant really. And look where we are now.  :)

The Beginning Of My Happy Days! :)

In all honestly, life changed almost a year back. When I met someone who I had NEVER imagined I would be standing on this day with. With my history of falling for the wrong men boys, and my skittishness around the M word, I never thought that I would be here, on this day, updating my Facebook status to engaged! :D

I AM ENGAGED!

OMFG! :O AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

Now I know why Monica stood in the balcony yelling I AM ENGAGED to everyone after he proposed! :P

(No, sadly there was no proposal due to complete lack of originality and romance on the to be grooms side, but instead a full on big ass Indian engagement complete with elaborate hair do's and jewellery and random "couple posing" ... yes the photographer in me and him CRINGED at that but well you gotta do what you gotta do!) :P :P

More updates later. Getting back to admiring my ring resting on my mehendi ! :P

Much Love,
Annie.

The Day Before.

Teri Mehndi Woh Dekhenge...
Toh Apna Dil Rakhdenge Woh...
Pairon Mein Tere, Chupke Se...
Hariyaali Banni...

Love,
Annie.
P.S: The smell of mehendi is the 2nd best thing ever. The 1st best thing being having people feed you Dairy Milk when your hands look like that! :)

September is here!!!!

I have been looking forward to September for the last two months. TWO WHOLE FREAKIN' MONTHS! I have never waited for December this way! I think my birthday month is going to be mighty pissed. Add to that the fact that I will be looking forward to February even more than these two.. Oh December is gonna HATE it! :)

In other news, What Makes Me Happy? Yet another question I am answering that was posed by another blogger. This time Soumya at Life of Leo.

So what makes me happy? Hmm.. Lets see. Some of the things...

• His smile just after he cracks some seriously idiotic, senseless joke. Its this gleeful expression that I honestly DON'T get! :)
• Watching the rain and feeling the breeze messing my hair.
• Driving his car and having him say that I drove awesome today.
• FAST INTERNET!
• Coffee + Good music + A really long drive + Dunhill Reds.
• Good hair days.
• When he gets me a flower.
• When he argues with me when I chide him for paying too much for one flower.
• An energetic Labrador and a purring-scratching kitteh! :) 
• Crayons!
• Remembering the words to an old song.
• Aromas breakfast! :)
• Watching Casablanca / Breakfast At Tiffany's yet again.

~ Annie

P.S: Passing on the question to you - what makes you happy?

My Perfect Cup Of Coffee.

This post is in response to the question asked by Nitisha at her blog The View from 5'2" - In Search For The Perfect Coffee In Bombay. So where do I get my favorite coffee in the city? (It's Mumbai, not Bombay for me though!) :)

Unlike Nitisha, I don't prefer reading at a quiet little coffee shop. That is my travelling time activity or the sheer boredom of travelling from Malad to Powai will kill me. Coffee shops are for really long conversations about anything and everything and nothing at all, with the closest of my friends. When alone, they are for quiet times between me and my Mac. :) Photos. Coffee. Silence. And I am blissfully lost in my own world. :)

So listing here the places where they know me well enough to get me my coffee without me asking for it. :)

Bee!

Ever since I heard my first Beyonce song - Crazy In Love - I have been a fan.

POTTERMORE. FTW!

Since dearest Nutties couldn't wait to see which house I'll get sorted into (someone missed the Pottermore early entry quiz.. tsk tsk :P) - Possibly the best quiz of my life. I was so fucking nervous!!!! :O Not even as nervous as my college placements. LOL!
