Cravings

I've decided to go on a diet and I've already hit the cravings phase.

And for the entire two days that I've been on it, I've stuck to it faithfully. And now I feel I absolutely need to eat something on my list or I will die.

I live on melodrama.

And what I'm longing for are :-

1) Potato Wedges and French Fries with extra mayonnaise on the side from McDonalds. (Theirs is the only mayonnaise I like. Anybody else know where I can get some?)

2) A large Mutton with Cheese burger from Bembos

3) Spicy Goan Sausages with plenty of freshly baked 'pav'.

4) Mutton Biryani from my friend Sarah's house.

5) Kheema Pav from Khayani near St Xavier's College.

6) Bheja Masala from Paramount restaraunt in Mahim.

7) Seekh Kebabs from the lane leading to the Mahim dargah

8) Maggi noodles with Cheese. (The only dish I cook)

9) Tandoori chicken from Bandra station

10) Mashed Potatoes and Fish from Molly Malone's Irish Pub

11) Chicken Schezwan Noodles 'Anda Marke' from my college canteen

12) Bavarian Chocolate Ice Cream from Baskin Robbins

13) Grilled Fish with Butter Garlic Sauce

14) My Grandmother's Pork Sorpotel

15) Choc-a-Vloc from Cafe Coffee Day (I refuse to call it CCD)

16) A vada-pav with extra spicy chutney from Pipasa near Borivli Station

17) Dahi Batata Puri from a guy in my colony.

18) Chicken Manchurian Rolls from Papa Joe's in Borivli

19) Sharwma from Shalimar on Mohammed Ali Road. (Its the best I've found in the city)

20) A giant glass of sugarcane juice from the guy opposite FabIndia in Colaba

21) Mutton Roll from Venus Bakery in Bandra

21) Chicken Cheese Franky from Churchgate Station

22) Pepper Steak Sizzler from Pop Tates

23) Egg Burmese and Mauritian Omlettes from the St Xavier's Mess

24) Crab curry and Bangda Rechar Masala from SuzaLobos in Goa

25) Chicken Cafreal from Florentines in Goa

26) Crab with Butter Garlic Sauce from Mahesh Lunch Home

27) Chilly Garlic Potatoes and Chicken Puffs from Sassanian Cafe in Dhobi Talao

And you wonder why I'm fat. Or as I prefer 'Not thin'

Remembering Avanti

Day before yesterday, on the 8th of November 2008, Avanti Desai would have turned 21. Instead 15 days before her birthday, as she hurried home to celebrate her grandmother's birthday, Avanti met with a train accident at Jogeshwari station. Just like that. Gone from our lives forever. Leaving behind a huge void and the world a lot more gloomier. And when I got the call first thing in the morning, I couldn't believe it. I thought it was a cruel sadistic joke, but as the calls kept coming in, I realised it was true. Even at the cemetary,, it still hadn't sunk in that Avanti was no longer here. The worst moment though was watching her disappear into the crematorium, it was horrible and I couldn't believe we were leaving her there, and through the next couple of hours all I could think of was of her going up in smoke while we stood there in the bright sunshine. It seemed incomprehensible at first, to think of Avanti as dead, to talk about her in the past tense, to get...

The one with all the food

While I've already done the Happiness is tag once before, I've had food on my mind an awful lot lately. I'm comfort-eating myself all the way to obesity, but I just can't bring myself to care somehow. Anyhoo, Happiness is..

Randomity

I sat here staring at my screen for at least 15 minutes before I could decide what to blog about and as I write this I still have no idea. It's randomness at its best. There are a multitude of thoughts swirling through my head and I'm finding it hart to pinpoint or firmly hold one down. To be precise, what I'm feeling is exactly what Mynie describes in Strings . It's a knotted mess in my head. But I felt that it was time I did a blog post, there have been way too many tags lately and while I love doing tags. It's incredibly cathartic to write a post and get everything off my chest. And while this may seem a mess of a post, there's a lot of stuff that I wanted to talk about but didn't really seem to deserve an entire post to themselves, in terms of content at least. So I'm gonna put them all in here, in what is probably going to turn up to be a hell of a confused post. I'm just going to go with the flow and talk about whatever pops into my head. Cool?...
