Marmalade says the funniest things. Yesterday I showed her a picture of him. And she says, "You always fall for these lean mean types, but then the leanness soon disappears and the meanness stays." I couldn't stop laughing! I told her to relax because he is not someone I've just "fallen" for. He's been that special someone for the longest time and I think, always will be. He doesn't look lean and mean either actually. He's more the gentle, brooding, Heathcliff type (with the most gorgeous brown skin and amazing lips) and the only man who's ever made me go weak in the knees. I swear!

If I hadn't underestimated the importance of sexual chemistry in a relationship way back when, we'd have been together now. Serves me right for burying my head in too much anthroplogy, philosophy and English literature! Anyway I have no regrets now because if I had chosen him then I would have lost out on being with my family, and nothing in the world is worth that. Seriously. I think if you cannot stand by your own flesh and blood, then you will never stand by anyone.

I absolutely love Pink Floyd and really enjoy the music of Led Zeppelin as well, and I've recently fallen in love with Cat Stevens all over again (I just got my hands on every song he's ever recorded!). So imagine my delight when I stumble upon all 3 of them doing a fabulous version of Stairway to Heaven! I only wish I could a hold of the video as well. If anyone out there has it, please oblige :-)

The last couple of days have been really stressful and I don't know what I would have done without much needed life-support, courtesy Marmalade. There's nothing like having an old friend straightening out your noodles when you need it the most. If there's one thing I love about technology, it's the ability that poor lost souls like us now have to connect across millions of miles without too much hassle and damages on the pocket.

So here's to love, life, and noodle straighteners, which, by the way, has been copyrighted by us since college days. (We also have something called the Pepsi-can treatment but that's only for the brave-hearted!) If you want any noodle straightening yourselves, please call us. We're only happy to help. But don't blame us if your noodles end up getting curlier. That sometimes happens :-P
