The Office

I should ideally be studying for this test coming on the 4th of May.. But I can't because 'The Office' has hijacked all of my time.. So hooked on to its understated funniness!!

Expat Fashion

Either way.. I sort of decided to split this whole expatriate crusade that I call a blog and the fashion part of it.. So do hop over (if you exist) to my fashion exclusive blog on tumblr..

Expat Fashion

Ta-dah!

Been around.. doing that. And that.

Okay,

So who-ever, wher-ever it is that is reading this.. You may (or may not) be wondering where I have been?? (Or am I flattering myself?)

These last couple of days I have been busy - sort of.

Busy gloating more than anything.. Did I tell you that I am going to NYC?? Ha!

No actually it's not even that.. Did you *see* what my last post was.. Once you start posting song lyrics you know that you are blogging to just increase the number of posts you have.. So just thought I'd give the prolific blogger in me a rest.

Wait, all done resting.

Story of my life!

Have you heard 'Hey there Delilah' by Plain White Tees.. It's been ages since I did.. and when my i-pod shuffled to this yesterday.. believe me I was smiling away to glory thinking to myself, 'I'll be Delilah in the next 4 months'

Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This one's for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.

And there's 'Bright Lights' by Matchbox twenty as well... 'Another alien on broadway...'

She got out of town
On a railway New York bound
Took all except my name
Another alien on Broadway
There's some things in this world
You just can't change
Somethings you can't see
Until it gets too late
Baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone
Who will save me
From all I'm up against out in this world
Maybe, maybe, maybe
You'll find something
That's enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don't receive you
You should turn yourself around
And come on home
I got a hole in me now
yeah,I got a scar I can talk about
She keeps a picture of me
In her apartment in the city
Some things in this world
Man, they don't make sense
Some things you don't need
Until they leave you
And they're things that you miss
Baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone
Who will save me
From all I'm up against out in this world
Maybe, maybe, maybe
You'll find something
That's enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don't receive you
You should turn yourself around
And come on home
Let that city take you in, come on home
Let that city spit you out, come on home
Let that city take you down, yeah
God's sake turn around
Baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone
Who will save me
From all I'm up against in this world
Maybe, maybe, maybe
You'll find something
That's enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don't receive you
You should turn yourself around
And come on home
Come on home
Baby, baby, baby
Come on home
Yeah, come on home
Yeah, come on home

I'M ALL DECIDED!!

I'm finally sure that I'm going to NYC!!



As amazing as the thought is.. I can assure you that I'm very very intimidated!! If you can't understand, look at the picture above and you will.

I'm was earlier undecided between LA and NYC.. And, LA won hands down. I mean I know that NYC is NYC with its fashion and culture etc.. But then LA's so much warmer.. For a person coming from Mumbai that can be a huge relief..And then I wish to pursue something in the field of media and LA is THE place for all the big-shot media houses..

HOWEVER, I did not get through to UCLA.. and therefore I'm going to a university in NYC instead.. And this make me extremely happy as well.. So screw LA (for now.. who knows post the degree I may want to find a job there)
