Sad, sad, sad
How easy it is for someone to make you feel so unappreciated. A few words, a look, someone elses word.. No matter how hard you try, or think you are trying, it is never enough because it is not perfect.
I just want to be in my bed, and not move for a week. I dont want to go to work and I dont want to meet anyone.
I want to switch off my mobiles. I dont want to take any calls, I dont want to text anyone, I basically dont want to be around people right now. I had a really bad day, I never expected it to be such a crappy day.
Hopefully I can change my life pretty soon. What I have now is not what I want in life! But still, I am too much in love with this bloody country to make the one change I want to happen.
I am little of a dramaqueen, a few people know that. So it might not be as bad as I have made it sound. I am just having a bad day, thats all. In a few days everything will be forgotten and back to normal.
My family is growing
Both my family in Sweden and my family in India. ♥
My indian family (consisting of me, my mobile, my laptop and my shoes) has now got one more member. And we all love him a lot. He is awesome, and I know we will have so much fun. Although I spent a lot of money, more than I planned on doing, I am happy with this little baby of mine..
Bangalore Palace
This place was one of those stupid places where it is not good to be a foreigner. The price to enter?
Indians: 200rs
Foreigners: 400rs

Even when I am off I am working... 
Me and the palace in the background.
I wish I could drive this bike, its really good one. But it is so heavy for me. I couldnt even balance it without the stand...
Im in love
Oh, how badly I want to have my own horse now. Or atleast go for riding everyday.. I miss it these days...
First time in Temple
I went to a temple in Indira Nagar some time back. It was really nice. I have been inside temples before but not like this. I was doing all the rituals like everyone else, and walking around in this lovely temple. The statue was really nice, and huge like you can see in the picture.. When I left this place, I found a bracelet that I have been wanting to have for so long and I also bought some of these bubbles made of water and soap, I dont know what you call it in english, for my maids daughter. She got so happy that I bought her a gift, and she kept playing with it the whole day, and finished it in one day also..
Leaving Bangalore
Tomorrow I am off. I have some work to do, which can not be done on a Sunday so therefore I changed my off. I will start the day with sleeping in. It feels like forever I slept without waking up to an alarm.
Life is wonderful
I have a constant flow of readers everyday, that makes me feel quite guilty when I am not writing anything. Like you can see I have almost given up my blog. I dont want to do that, I like writing here, and I love that so many people are reading my blog. But these days I am keeping myself very busy, and I dont even know what to write. A friend of mine was making fun of me the other day when I was out. I got a drink and I kept complaining that the straw was broken. He laughed and said that he would read about that in my blog the very next day. So I guess its those boring things I write about these days. I dont want to bore you with those things. So, instead I am writing nothing, because really nothing fun or exciting is happening these days.
I am so happy. I have had periods in my life where I have not been happy. At all. Like really, really not happy. And it feels so good that I am over that, and I can really feel a huge difference. I enjoy my life so much, I wouldnt wanna change my life with anyone! Okay, the only change I would like to have in my life is more money, but most of us wants that. But small things can make me really happy. Like today, I got a drop in the evening, thanks to my colleague. The I went to a sweetshop to buy my favourite sweet - jalebi. After that I went to the alcoholstore and bought my favourite rosewine - and they had a bottle that was already cold - happiness! Tonight I will sit at home and enjoy my life, along with my roommates. Oh yes, one more thing. As soon as I opened the door to my house today, I saw a Christmastree! Even more happiness ♥
So my dear friends, and whoever you all are, enjoy your life, and have an awesome evening.
I am sick
No issues, I went to office, another of my colleague came to pick me up and now, here I am. Waiting for my lunch to be ready for me.. Hopefully I can leave on time today, Saturday and Sunday I am off. I need that after I have been working for 12 days straight.
Long, long day
Well, I am still in office at 10pm, not because of work but because I am waiting for a drop. My colleague will take me home and he is working this late. Luckily I came to office late today.. And then I am waiting for my other colleague to come down to my office and bring me dinner. He is ignoring my calls, I guess he is to lazy to cook dinner for me tonight.. Its not really an issue, I bought candy worth 300rs last night so I wont go to bed hungry today!
Sunshine
It is not very warm in the mornings though, eventhough it is kind of winter here, I got springfeelings this morning. You know how the typical springweather in Sweden is in April, May or maybe even June, thats the exact weather we had this morning. The perfect weather to prepare you for the nice summer. The perfect temperature when it is a little to cold for a top or a t-shirt, but to warm to wear anything thicker than a thin sweater. Its interesting how the weather can have such an impact on your mood, or more likely, my mood.
Today I am happy. Very, very happy ♥
Party
The DJ in this place was awesom, I really liked Tuhin Mehta. And he was very cute also..
WTK
This song has become very popular in India, and I am one of those who love this also. 16 million people have seen this clip already. I read on facebook the other day, someone had written that the new WTF is WTK - Why this Kolaveri. I suggest you to do one thing, to really know how funny this song is. First you listen to the song, dont look at the lyrics that is there.. Try to listen what he is singing. The second time, do read the lyrics.
It took me many times to realise that this guy is singing almost everything in english. I kept telling my friends to translate this song for me, and they all told me that it is in english, and I should understand it myself. And this is the accent that I have made fun of for a long time, and I know I have tried to explain it in the blog. Like people always say straight-u when they want to go straight, or left-u when they want to go left. And now you will really understand how they talk, although this might be a little exagerated, like holy cow-u is little too funny! Well just listen to the song and enjoy and laugh... I did that the first time I saw what he sang, and I always have a small smile on my face whenever I hear this song..
Im alive
Lovely Sunday
In the night I had dinner with the third girl, she was finally found. I had awesome food. I actually ordered paneer bhurji, but I ate mostly of my friends chicken. The gravy was so good. I had to get a doggybag with all the leftovers. I forgot the best part that happend last night. My roomie came by my house, finally after like weeks, and she helped me to drape my saree. It took forever, and its quite complicated until you learn it properly, but it looked amazing. I have one more saree in my house, I need to give it to the tailor and get it ready to wear. It is pink. With lots of glitter. It is really nice. I was walking around in the house with my saree for some time. Not only do you have to learn how to drape it, you need to learn how to walk in a saree as well. It is not a piece of cake, my saree almost fell of a few times!
Saturday party
I went to the awesomest party in Bangalore last night. Everything was just perfect. I went with good people, we went in a nice car (how can I ever travel in something else than Audi and Mercedes now?), I had a lovely drink, I met lots of fun people, I danced a lot, and the DJ was the best till date. His name is Tuhin Mehta, he played the best music and I danced so much, I have never danced that much before. And he was really, really cute also!
I tried to go for an afterparty afterwards, but we got home pretty late anyway, since it was a bit far away, so I just crashed in my bed. 6 missed calls and 5 texts later, I woke up at 9am. Today I am having a girls day and night today, sitting home, drinking a glass of rosé wine, talking, gossiping, eating icecream etc. I might go out to see if I can find a scooter also. Its really hard work trying to find one. But luckily my colleague is trying even harder than me...
People, come out and party!
My first Thanksgiving
Okay, I am sorry again. I havent written for a few days, the reason being lazyness I believe.
I had my first Thanksgiving dinner Thursday night. My american roommate had been cooking for three days, for around 30 people. When I came home from office that Thursday, the house was full of people and food. We had turkey, we had pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie, stuffing, sweetcorn pie with marshmallows on top, chocolate pie, peach pie, and lots and lots of MnM´s. I had MnM´s with peanutbutter, peanuts, coconut, plain ones, crunch ones, and some other that I forgot. I ate so much food, it was all so tasty. I really liked the chocolate pie and the peach pie.

After the food I slept off. My colleague has gone home to get married so he has left me with all the responsibility. I am supposed to run my department from now on. I am not used to all this responsibility and to be the boss, it is all new to me, so it is making me a little tired. I always try to leave office on time, at 6pm, but all the job seems to be coming at that time. Its okay, its actually quite fun now. The job is different from what it has been for the last 3 months.
I miss Wednesdays
I have a new roomie
I was actually supposed to buy my scooty yesterday, my friend had found one for me. After work we went to the bikeshop, but to my dissapointment the shop was closed. I got so sad, so I decided to buy a TV instead. It made me a little happy. But since it is a second hand one, they needed to fix it up, and most important, clean it for me. When I came home I told my roommate that I bought one. He told me that we already have a TV connection, eventhough we dont have a TV, so I dont have to bother about calling these TV connection people and wait for like 5 years, I will have the connection right away.
After Juliya came to my place yesterday we went out for dinner. I wanted to go to mine and Sams favourite restaurant, Chandni Chowk, but since it was Sundayevening, it was fully booked. We went to another Punjabi restaurant and had lovely food. Some paneer tikka, and then finely shredded chicken in a lovely gravy with butter naan. In the middle of the night we got some company and we were sitting outside on my terrace. I was sitting with my blanket around me, Bangalore is cold these days, and it was so nice to have company and just enjoy life. ♥
Have I become nice?
I am usually pretty mean and rude in India. I think that is one big reason I really like it here. I get out a lot of my frustration. But the other day I was really surprised how nice I actually was. I was out doing some shopping, I went to Commercial street, and when it was time for me to go home I decided to take an auto. Outside these shoppingmalls, and other popular places, it is hard to get an auto for a good price. I was ready to bargain hard.
Obviously they started with a very high price which I did not accept. Then they started lower the price a little too much and I understood that they wanted to take me to some other shops, so they could get some benefits. I said, please I am tired, just take me home. But they were insisting in taking me to a few shops. After a few more minutes they said "Okay madam, we will take you to Koramangala (my area) for free, if you stop in two shops;" When I heard the word free, I opened my ears. I had spent so much money in shopping, so getting home for free would be really nice. I told them that I am not going to buy anything, so how would it benefit them. They told me that if I buy something they will get one uniform for free, if I dont buy anything they will get 100rs worth of fuel. I told them that I am tired, I know what kind of shops they will take me to and I am not going to buy anything. So we made a deal, they were okay with me not buying anything, I would just have a look, they would get fuelmoney and I would get a ride back home for free. It was a win-win situation. I was even so nice that I went in to a third shop, so the guy got 300rs worth of fuel thanks to me. I felt like a very nice person after that..
