He looked down, and kicked an imaginary pebble on the ground.
"Never mind. I shouldn't be asking.", she said with a smile. He wasn't looking at her.
Still not looking at her, he answered, "It used to be something unattainable. Like a private jet, a lifetime supply of everything Nintendo, waking up next to Sunny Leone, to be Batman once a month ..... but now.... it's something right in front of me, yet just as unattainable, and probably something I kinda already know I'll never have.....", then his eyes met hers before she could look away".....that heart of yours."
Like a punctuation to his words, a single tear rolled down her left eye. Like it's the only rational thing to do, she hugged him. As she listened to his heart beat faster, and felt his hand in her hair, she shut her eyes as tightly as she possibly could, in an attempt to shoo a single thought she wished she could forget forever. No, please, go awa..... *I wished it was him instead of you.*
Shooting stars didn't grant wishes after all.

What are the Chances that you catch a flu the day after someone you care about told you they're suffering from it?
What are the Chances that your child might be OCD?
What are the Chances that you end up liking someone you found absolutely obnoxious at first?
What are the Chances that you love fancy underwear a bit too much....more than clothes even?
What are the Chances that the passengers of MH370 are still alive....somewhere?
What are the Chances that the stranger standing behind you at a food counter might just be someone you're gonna say 'I miss you' to months later?
What are the Chances that I transform into Mr.Narendra Modi someday?
What are the Chances that the person writing all this thought-provoking shtuff is possibly a bit tipsy right now?
Blush Pink Suede Choker ~ Forever New, Rs.1000
Black Velvet Choker ~ H&M, Rs.699
Wire Choker ~ Claire's, Rs.1070 (came in a set of 3)
Studded Velvet Choker ~ Claire's, " (came in a set of 3)
I'd say my most favorite kind is the Forever New Blush Choker, and least favorite is the wire style, which I wouldn't have even bought had it not been part of a set.
"Girls be using anything as chokers nowadays. B**ch, where's my charger?!"
That's from a meme I saw somewhere on Instagram...haha!
Seriously though, some "chokers" look absolutely ridiculous! I mean, if it looks like a neck brace, or a noose, or some vague metal monstrosity ...nah-uh!

Happy Friday, everyone! =)
Stay tuned for more posts that I'm very excited about - coming shortly.

What are the Chances that I may have published this post without proofreading it first & have forgotten what all I've written before this point?
MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone! Hope you're having a day filled with love & happiness.
Well, I didn't really have a Christmas post lined up, coz it's been hectic lately. So I decided to use these pics (where my hair is a mess, btw)
Let's talk about deep, meaningful things in between.
What's your Christmas like?
Mine:
~ Discovering too late that the tree lights are all spoiled. It's okay, I'll get new ones after Christmas, before New Year's Eve.
~There's a Santa soft toy from Hamley's, that I don't mind my son doesn't appreciate, because I secretly got him for myself. I whisper "Dear Santa, please........" in his ears, which he doesn't really have.
~ Watching Ziizayne mimic the facial expressions & dance moves in Sia's The Greatest. When I was pregnant with him, I used to blast Chandelier in my ears, btw.
~ Making plans to go out, and then decide it's too cold.
~ Finding out that the geyser is broken while already under the shower.
~ Watching Ziizayne play with his main Christmas present - a car track thing, and being enthu with one battery-operated car that comes with it more than he is.
~ Christening my new The Body Shop Body Butters that I was gifted- Vanilla Chai & Frosted Berries. Both yum!
~ Not wanting to eat anything sweet & Christmassy. Ordered spicy Indian food instead - Laal Maas from Coriander Leaf Restaurant. It's the best mutton curry ever!
~ Wanting to listen to long-time favorite Christmas songs - Last Christmas, All I Want For Christmas.... but finding them too peppy.
~ Blasting R&B/Rap instead. A new artist I just discovered - NF. Listen to All I Have & Wait if you want to know what lyrics are filling my head.
~ Feeling gangsta - in pyjamas - trying to ignore the pain from one remaining wisdom tooth.
~ Waiting for 9 pm 8:30 pm11 pm, so I can open the new wine - White.
Nope. Don't go there. You'll bring everybody down.
C'mon! You're overthinking again!
Ummm....You c'mon, genius! Tell me then, tell me what to say. You know exactly where my head is!
Okay....
~ How about you managed to survive on 50 rupees in your wallet since the demonetization. You saw the new 2000 rupee notes only yesterday. You thought they'd be pink, and felt *phus* when you saw they're purple?
~ How about you're listening to August Alsina's'I Luv This Sh*t' & 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' as you're typing this? Shuffling between: I'm just trying to chill cause I'm way too drunk to be talking like this I'm way too high to be tripping like this
I'm way too young to be living like this & ज़मीन पे न सही तो आसमा तोह आ मिल
~ How about you're now hooked to a new tv show - The Missing, Season 2?
~ How about Ziizayne now yells 'Mummaaaaa!', says 'Oh-kay!', 'Shoes', and 'Moo!' when he sees cows?
~ How about you're now only into black or nude/muted rose nail polish shades, and you find corals & pinks almost repulsive? This is when they should probably understand your state of mind.
~ How about you think the new Lakmé 9to5 Mousse Lip & Cheek Color are awesome?
~ How about you're kinda obsessed with the word 'Quinoa' - keeen-waaah!
~ How about you've decided you're going to become a Lawyer? The kind that would carry night vision goggles & have a snitch in prison.
~ How about you found inspiration in the most unlikely place.... the most hopeless situation.... the most unlikely person.....?
You know I can't remember the last time I wore blackish smoky eyes?
You know I've stopped wearing bold red & fuchsia lipsticks for a long time?
You know I want to binge read 'The Girl On The Train' before the movie comes out?
You know I get this strong urge to lie back on the floor at a shopping mall, yoga flap my arms and legs in & out, and shout "THIS IS THE FEELS! I FEELS! I NO CRAZY!"?
You know the top I'm wearing costs less than all the products I'm wearing on my face?
Dungarees are back! I couldn't be more stoked, because I have this odd obsession with overall(s)-type things. To put it simply, I like suspenders. I like them a little too much.
When I become CEO someday, I'll make suspenders part of my office's uniform....we'll have, like, this retro 'Mad Men' kind of vibe. I'll wear them over a white ruffle shirt and a black pencil skirt...and black pumps...maybe cat eye glasses for that "pro look"....I'll sit with my legs on the table - more in a casual laid-back way than a b**** boss way - and my assistant who's wearing a cabbie hat will barge in and announce, "Forbes. They want us on the cover of their May issue! They said it's very important we bring our own suspenders to the shoot next Saturday."
Caller: "Hello, I'm calling from Snapdeal. Can we deliver your order today?Will be there in 15 minutes."
Me: "Okay, but definitely come within 1 hour, coz I won't be home after that."
Caller: "Yes, yes, agent is on his way there now."
1 hour later: No package. So I call him.
Me: "Hello, I'm still waiting for you. Where are you?"
Caller: "Sorry, Madam?"
Me: "You're the one who called me earlier, right? From Snapchat?"....
...."I mean, from Snapdeal!"
♥
I'm not even on Snapchat! I don't even know what it's all about! But I keep seeing everybody else say "Follow Me On Snapchat", so let's blame them hehehe =D
About the outfit: I'd been waiting half of winter to wear this tulip sleeve top! It matched a floral mini skirt I have perfectly, but I thought ~ Nah, let's wear pants. When was the last time they saw me in pants? ;p
You know what I absolutely love doing? Picking tomato seeds from tomato fried rice, which I make for Ziizayne. If I could, I'd make a whole bucket of tomato rice (with extra tomatoes, of course) and be at it all day. I'm serious! I enjoy picking little odd things out of little things.
You know what I absolutely hate doing? Packing & house moving. Today is the last day I'll be in this house. We're moving to a hotel tomorrow, and will be there until the work at our new place is done. Right now all I want is a back/head/leg massage.....and to sleep for a week.
Since I did a 'First Time' in this apartment post, I thought I'd do a 'Last Time' in it, as well.
If you read my First Time post, you will realize that we were greeted by a monkey & were also chased out by a (bigger) monkey =D (Read here)
Monkey menace aside, we decided to move to a smaller place. Until now, we were living in a 4BHK with 5 bathrooms (6 if we count the helper's quarter), and not only was it hard to maintain, it never felt cosy, and...I don't know, something or the other kept going wrong.
So we are moving to a 3BHK with only 3 bathrooms, where the rooms are much more compact.
~ Why didn't I apply a black nail polish? Or black & white stripes...haha... who are you kidding?!
~ When will the skin on my hands be smooth again? Moist.
~ What if that aggressive father monkey that was living on our balcony when we were out of town comes back & attacks me? I'll use backpack as a shield.
~ Hmm...I feel like watching that movie 'The Craft' again.
~ Tiesto. Playing. In Gurgaon. Can't go. Life of a Mommy, sigh. (He's playing tonight, btw)
~ My baby. Can't wait for bedtime cuddles & tickles.
~ ♪ ♫ My heart is a ghost town...toodoo...doodoodoo.... ♪ ♫
(Wait, that didn't rhyme anymore! But it's not meant to be poetry, you idiot. Okay, keep going....)
But you.....
(Yes, pause for effect.)
No matter how many times I've failed,
I'll always find my way back to you.
(What the....Cheeesy! Get outta here!!! Go put on that new dark lipstick that matches that F21 headband you treat like a piece of valuable art, and....ah, never mind.... just get out!)
(I tried to sneak in the word 'Secret' too, but....)
Because it sounds cool & because I'm holding the hair dryer like a gun.
Plus, you need to have an agent-type....umm.... aura when you hit the Sale racks -
Next time you're in ZARA during sale, take a minute to look at the other women.
Where? Oh, there's one!
That side....in that corner over there....(Ooh that top she's touching looks nice! I WANT!)
That's why they don't want to be near you!
And most of them would no doubt be shopping alone.
Oh, yes. Rule #1- Always go SALE shopping alone.
No one is to be trusted.
Especially if 'no one' is.......
So without further delay, here are some goodies you can - and MUST - buy right now. I mean RIGHT NOW!
Forever New Ria Printed Hi Low Dress: 50% OFF! Rs.6200/Rs.3095. It is so pretty and so worth the price- the sale price. Comes with a gold belt. It's still available online here, and there's a similar dress with a different print here.
July Nightwear:Rs.1199/Rs.959. I LOVE this brand July Nightwear! I always end up liking only their pyjama sets while browsing Jabong. I got this Disney one here and a few more sets. All pyjama sets & sleepwear are 20% off right now. You can check out the entire range here.
Corioliss Mini Vintage Hair Dryer (Limited Edition):Rs.2999/Rs.1399. How cute?! HOW CUTE?!!! Nykaa had this in one of the sliders amongst hair dryers on sale. I saw, I clicked, I ordered. I prefer mini/travel hair dryers coz they're light. I checked online and it was $85 when it was launched :O ....If the floral & cute blue pouch are calling your name, go grab it before it's gone at NykaaHERE
Now I'm sitting in the living room while Baby CZii is sleeping upstairs,
Wi-fi comes and goes,
I'm hoping I'll be able to publish this post successfully.....
(Prove me wrong you Reliance dongle you!)
Before he wakes up & cries for milk biscuits.
10 mins later:
Shucks! I can hear himalready!
Oh, it's just my 1.5-year-old nephew.
Uh-oh, now he's next to me trying to grab my laptop!
Now if we were in a relationship, you wouldn't still think about breaking up with me because I did not keep in touch, would you?
I've got issues, and it's not Apple Tree Yard*
............
Okay, about new hair: I got it cut & colored last month. I wanted side swept bangs,coz one day my forehead just looked so LARGE! Does it increase with age & childbirth?, I wondered.
I asked for shoulder-length with lots of volume at the top, and I got, you could say, "The Rachel" (FRIENDS) haircut.
Color was achieved after a lot of stripping - meaning: bleaching & stripping away all of the orange in my hair. They used L'Oreal Majirel Lightest Ash Blonde.
These shoes! I got them from my hometown in January. Available in 2 colors. I got both. Not at the same time, I went for these another time - because, you know, I was losing sleep ;p. I wore them for the very first time last month, and was so pleasantly surprised that they're sooo comfortable for pencil heels.
