In which we talk about the emotional one.

There are three sections I categorize my male friends under. A, the type who can’t stop talking about how much alcohol I can guzzle. B, the type who assume the role of the protector, and can’t stop talking about how insane or mad I am. And C – the ones who are genuinely happy for [...]

On Marriage, and Baby Borrowers, and idiocy

Have you seen ‘Baby Borrowers’? Good if you didn’t. Pathetic.
There are some Reality TV realities one really does not want to see.
So here is the story.
Id is MTM’s best friend. Or not. Id is MTM’s second best friend, after Cil. I went out for sushi with Cil the other day, he stays right here in [...]

Because you cannot take the pollution…

You are lost, mind you. You haven’t lost, you haven’t lost it, you just are lost.

In which we fall under the gaydar

So I was sitting at the aforementioned party, and this guy whispers to me, “There are two gays at this party and one of them still in the closet. Guess who?”
And so I point, randomly, to the two men who seem to not have a woman on their arm. One quite goodlooking, both the muscled [...]

In which we follow up

The one reason I like this blog as much as I do, is because I am honest here, and hence this blog has seriously transcended from it being a chick-lit blog to being something more that we can be proud of.
Anyway to go back to the title of the this post, this.
