This is how K sees it- PART II

Black day for New Delhi. I could not go through the newspaper. Tears and blood everywhere. Felt disgusted. Prayers and condolences for all who lost their loved ones.


On a lighter note, at the risk of pulling a 'Sharon Stone' *Fortunately I'm not the face of L'Oreal in China, so no one will be puling down my ad campaign* all I'm saying is, is it Karma or something? Don't judge me. Look at all the evil in this city *Most of it around central Delhi. Maybe God just sent a warning* I happened to be raised in a very 'religious' family. One must always fear God - this was drilled in our pretty little heads since we were babies. You know what they say, fear is the basis of any religion.
You do this, Your are damned. You don't do this, you are damned. Damn!


So, my father has been asking me to go and get a few papers sorted from the court, which has not been sorted but I've just been very busy or maybe a little lazy. Guess I have a reason not to go to the court for a while. I get a call from them yesterday to inquire if I was alright. Some people might not find it funny but this is what I told him: " I know why you wanted me to go to the court. You saw it coming didn't you?" To my surprise he didn't find it hilarious. I guess his sense of humour is on vacation. My mother certainly did get the joke.


Anyway, I went out for a few drinks in the evening. There it was, yet another sign from God. For a second there, I though they'll find me under all the rubble with a drink in my hand. Not a nice way to go. My hair would have been just all out of place. I refuse to die without my hair being in place. Period.


Hope this post puts a smile on people's faces.

Sheila Dixit and Rahul Gandhi visit kin of blast victim and promises action.
For a while they thought it was a firework show to welcome Sonia Gandhi back home.

43% Americans believe US foreign policy led to 9/11
Seriously? They had to conduct a survey to find that out.
I want to know what do other 57% believe. Question. How did he get a second term?


Maya sent jet to get sandals from Mumbai and has a food taster
She is my hero.Considering joining politics. Is there a school I can go to? I want a private jet fetching me a pair of shoes and I shall refuse to believe in the concept of 'courier services' and let someone else foot the bill. Just perfect. Food taster? Tres tres chic. Is she looking for a stylist because I think those kurtas need a few darts and the hairdo and the colour must go. I say go platinum. 




Delhi legislators get big salary hike
I say that instead of doubling it, make it ten times. They all deserve it. Look at the wonderful things they have done for this city. Its beautifully landscaped with weeds growing all over. They got us a world class stadium which is being used as a warehouse and who can miss the tasteful streetscaping that includes the lovely mosaics on the Safdarjung flyover. Moreover, not even once any of us faced water logging this monsoon. I see rocket scientists working every morning on the Defence Colony flyover to prevent water logging.



Miffed Mamta didi ignores PMs calls
Mr.PM, Maybe she's just not that into you.




G Janardan Reddy aka Greedy's Asset Inventory
Phew!!!!! This is so not fair. All I covet is a Cartier Love bracelet. Did any of you read about his assets? OMG! There was so much to read that I almost fell asleep. I want that gold chair, gold dinner set, those rubies and sapphires and a helicopter called 'Rukmini'. I need friends in politics or even better, a career in politics. We need well turned up politicians. Look at Hina Rabbani Khar. You look like that and half the battle is done. Why wouldn't people listen to someone like. Pretend to be the damsel in distress, just like her country, and Big Daddy will have a hand to lend. Literally. Hahaha.


Omar Abdullah tweets
If the Tihar inmates form a party, what will the symbol be?
I say go for a Thousand rupee bill or a gold throne. Kanimozhi may suggest that that they use 'Muruku', since her days of caviar are over and Mummy is only allowed to get her that as presents.



Amar Singh: Plea of renal problem fails to impress court

Hmmmmmmm.... He has never watched OZ. Has he?
His renal might have to go through a few other problems in jail cell with some inmates. But I must say, hats off to Mr. Bachan. Perfect time to disassociate himself from Mr.Singh.

Brand new month, brand new magazine!!!

SEPTEMBER!

In the Northern hemisphere, the beginning of the meteorological autumn is 1 September. In the Southern hemisphere, the beginning of the meteorological spring is 1 September. We don't care much about southern spring because that is rather irrelevant to this post.

September also brings joy and misery together for fashionistas *Have always hated that term. If any of you have any recommendations for a synonym, please feel free to lemme know. But remember that I have the last word on this blog. Maybe don't even try. Just kidding*, unless grand dad left you a trust fund or daddy take cares of your credit card bills.

Joy? Let me explain. September issues are without doubt the most important published piece of the year. It marks the advent of autumn trends and preps people like us for what to look forward to in the coming season. *When I say people, I mean someone who bothers to care a little, just a little, about what hangs in their wardrobe. Not preaching or will ever preach anyone to be obsessive (Know many a people like that) about clothes; not that its a bad thing. Sometimes so wish I was like that. Sigh. I guess dear Lord hath other plans.* Trust me, it would be blasphemous to wear nautical stripes when everyone would be tarting up in animal prints. In other words, September issue is like Moses, leading the exodus of the hungry fashion conscious out of summer and across the Red sea of 'Last season's trends'. *Would this analogy get me into trouble?* Another good thing about September is that since its the fattest issue of the entire year *Thanks to 200 plus pages of adverts*, flipping through it is the best form of exercise your arms could ever ask for. Must say that fashion works in mysterious ways.

Lets get on with the misery and I'm going to make it very concise. So many things to buy and no means to buy. Sometimes I wonder if these magazines are not meant for people with limited means because you can't have all that you covet. It's more like a tease. Have you ever flipped through 'Get the same look for less?' In this case, less is certainly more. Literally. Most of us still cannot afford this watered down 'look'. But religiously, every month we go and get a copy of our favourite magazine or more. This is what I call masochism at its best. Exactly the same reason I don't step into shops with snooty sales boys and girls. What's the need? Tom Ford's window display beckons every time I pass by but I have not mustered courage to step in. Sigh!!!! I shall some day, Tom. I shall and I will get a suit from you. And I digress yet again. Hence not so concise anymore. Getting back to business of fashion, I wonder how many women look at these magazines and feel good about themselves. Send me a comment if you do. I don't. I look at men's magazines and at the end of it, I'm this close to slashing my wrists. God has been kind to us but he is just unfair. But c'est la vie.

But one has got to do what they got to do. Can't do with the magazines and can't do without them. Certainly cannot.
Below are some September issue covers from across the world *after a very strict elimination process*. Some of them are not so impressive but I still put them because I like the covers models. Enjoy.


To many more issues and heartaches!!!
