Shoe Fetish

I ran through my archived posts and was surprised to note that I have not written about my fetish for footwear. Not that it is of prime importance or interest to my readers but sure will suggest that this is a gift that I will most happily accept(in addition to many others like Perfumes, Chocolates, etc). :P

Mind you, I am rather finicky about my choice of footwear and hence a gift voucher will be the best bet. I really liked Terra Shield's blog template(though I think it is a lil loud) but since she already had it in place, I decided to opt for a different template.

I totally totally love to shop for footwear and though I don't possess too many(20pairs) yet, will look forward to acquiring more with time.

Yes, I am completely out of ideas to blog about and hence all these crazy pictures and posts on my first page. First time visitors rather look at archived posts.

Lucky Draw

Hey people, guess what? Yes, after all those gift vouchers I won a lucky draw.:-)

The fact that I am not sure about the genuinity and authenticity about the same is a separate issue, I am enjoying the present moment!

I happened to walk in to a mall that is a stones throw away from work, with my colleagues. Someone out there handed me this form to fill and drop into a box. I did so providing as less information as I could about myself and a few weeks later I received a call saying I won the draw.

And what did they have to offer? Accomodation for two(I was verbally told for four) for seven days in a 5 star resort, in either of the below mentioned places:

- Goa
- Kerala
- Srilanka
- Indonasia(Bali)

They also said that they will bear 20% of the food expeneses.

I was and still am super thrilled and excited about the idea of visitng Bali but am wondering if it is a hoax considering the fact that the information provided verbally as against that on the actual voucher does not match. There is no mention of the 20% food discount on the voucher.

The voucher was presented by Country Vacations and is valid from April through Sepetember 2009.

It seems like a marketing ploy to me. Anyone, aware of this? Do share your inputs and experiences, if any.

WBC Approved

My blog has been reviewed and approved by the World Blog Council. Thank you WBC, Frau von Sauertraut and Colonel Reginald Fotherington-Blogworthy!

the author certificate

"A left-handed, canine-lover bringing us light-hearted observations about love, life and the world around her." - The description is soooooo apt and so me.:-)

It was fun to read Colonel Reginald's comment about my often changing blog template. I truly like to experiment with templates but this past week, I spent almost all my time on the internet messing with my blog and it's template, as I was tired of the standard templates Blogger has to offer. This current template is here to stay for a while(so I think and believe).:P

Hinglish or Inglishu or Yungleesh or Angrezi

I could not resist sharing this image(a forward) that I chanced upon.
Hinglish or Inglishu or Yungleesh or Angrezi or whatever!
Whoever said that copy cannot be an art form.
The copy writer, along with a sense of humour also suffers from a sense of tumour!!(Pun intended).

New look

The above was the intended new look of my blog(I loved it), but unfortunately the template did not support several features that existed in my blog and thus I had to be content with this alternative new look!

Look-a-like



Unfortunately I do not have pictures of myself at those instances when I resembled the above mentioned people nor do I have a digital picture of my grandmother and hence had to make good with what I could lay my hands on.

Thank you -
Mota and Zaphod Beeblebrox for suggesting and helping me decide on a title for this blog post.:-) I was confused and thus went with the title that won the poll.

Disclaimer: I was told that I resembled the above individuals at various points in my life and this is not what I personally claim, though I may be in conjunction with those who told me so.

Cows in a Globalized World

Ever heard/seen cows that eat Biscuits, Chocolates, Ice cream, etc out of choice and not out of starvation(Yes, there are several cows that eat the glue(made of rice batter) behind posters on the road and from dustbins because of hunger)?

Such are the cows that belong to the NJR family in Madanapalle of Chitoor District, Andhra Pradesh, India. They prefer BRITANNIA TIGER biscuits. Taste buds in action?;-)

Take a look: Click on the hyper linked title.

Aren't they adorable? The cow on the right hand side at the start of the video has an EGO issue, or does she seek attention? Try feeding her after you are done with feeding the rest of the cows and she will refuse to eat, try vice versa and it works. Amazing?:-)

Disclaimer:Ah well, I am aware that they are completely and terribly pampered but I sure am not interested in reading comments about how good or bad it is for Cows to be eating such food.
