Superbitch 2002

This is from an old sketchbook from 2002, when I was at my most cheeky self. Here’s the text, in case you want to read:

When I’ll be a monster I’ll eat all your toes
Pull your hair out, bite off your nose
Never say sorry, and certainly not thank you
Stamp on your feet, and kick your bum too.
When I’ll be an ogre I’ll pinch your cheeks red
Stab you with pins till you wish you were dead
Starve you to insanity, bore you to tears –
When you send me an SOS, then I’ll be saying cheers!

If wishes were horses, then I would be queen
I would be king, too, and anything in between
I’ll make my own rules and break them if I please,
and if you want something, dear, get down on your knees!
I’ll own the whole country, I’ll own the whole world
I’ll have the whole nation come begging to me –
and I will be queen, so there!

Tagged!

I’ve been tagged by Megha to do the sixth picture meme, so here goes:

This is a photo of my friend Prashant, and he loves The Big Chill Café in Delhi and specially banoffee pie. He even tried to make it himself at home! This is the expression he makes while eating banoffee pie!

Now I’m tagging:

This is what you have to do:

pick the 6th picture from your 6th photo folder.
tell the story around it.
pass it onto 6 other people you like.

Swedish Bingo Ladies

I’m studying Swedish Bingo ladies for a project.

We noticed that this lady with the quirky cream and black sweater and the woman sitting behind her looked just the same. Then we found out that they are sisters! They’ve been coming to play Bingo for years, but they are not on speaking terms and never even sit at the same table!

We thought this lady was the most stylish! I specially loved the pendant she was wearing. Fun project, isn’t it?

Design for foreign cultures

It’s something I have been facing for a while. Any suggestions on how I can work this out? Is it even possible?

Food, NID

La Bella

This is part of a continuing series on food in NID. Here’s Part 1: Mess food and Part 2: Jamalpur. So, to begin where we left off –

When the mess food would grow increasingly poisonous, we would escape to another favorite place: La Bella.

This humble place in Khanpur Lal Darwaza was (is? let me know) a haven which cured many an appetite tired of the tasteless campus food.

It was popular with students of all sorts, and we would often meet friends who had escaped with the same idea.

La Bella is run by Aunty, an old Goan lady and Anna, her helper. With no other help, and in this dim little kitchen, she would prepare the mouthwatering food that some of us truly dreamed about.
