Do you Believe in …

OF course, I am not content with doing a quiz once. I have to do it a few times. And knowing my multiple personality disorder, I managed to get a different result each time.

1st try:

You are The Star

Hope, expectation, Bright promises.

The Star is one of the great cards of faith, dreams realised

The Star is a card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing. This card suggests clarity of vision, spiritual insight. And, most importantly, that unexpected help will be coming, with water to quench your thirst, with a guiding light to the future. They might say you’re a dreamer, but you’re not the only one.

Wow, that’s nice… the Star… the future is good….

Let’s try again

2nd attempt:

You are The High Priestess

Science, Wisdom, Knowledge, Education.

The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know. The High Priestess is also associated with the moon however and can also indicate change or fluxuation, particularily when it comes to your moods.

The High Priestess… search for knowledge? Hmm… interesting. That is a quest that I can quite easily envision myself undergoing for the rest of my life.

3rd time lucky? What do we have here:

You are The Fool

The Fool is the card of infinite possibilities. The bag on the staff indicates that he has all he need to do or be anything he wants, he has only to stop and unpack. He is on his way to a brand new beginning. But the card carries a little bark of warning as well. Stop daydreaming and fantasising and watch your step, lest you fall and end up looking the fool.

The fool… ok, I can take a warning as well as the next person. So I should beware of daydreaming and start doing stuff… point noted.

Ok – one last try – wouldn’t hurt. Or would it?

You are The Lovers

Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse.

The Lovers represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made.

Originally, this card was called just LOVE. And that’s actually more apt than “Lovers.” Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can’t understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that the you have or will come across a person, career, challenge or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.

That most certainly did not hurt! lol!

Desire

I know I have been ignoring my blogdom for a while. While I have been busy living life, as opposed to blogging it, there has also been a strange obsession that has been occupying my time. Ever used a product that you totally fell in love with and were absolutely faithful to for a few years until the heartless corporations that manufacture it decided to pull the rug out from under your feet? That is precisely what happened to me some years ago.

Most friends know me as a perfume whore of the first calibre. I have a collection of scents and I do not stick to any one of them. What I wear for the day is greatly dependant on how I feel when I slink out of bed, bleary-eyed, in search of my first transfusion of caffeine every morning.

There is Stella Mcartney for the girly, feminine days. Gucci Envy is when I feel confident or want to feel confident/grown up/strong. MNG is for days when I know I will end up feeling hot, bothered and sweaty as it blends very well with a sporty persona. Elizabeth Arden’s Forever is a mainly evening scent – for slightly more formal occasions. Aigner is also something that sits on my dresser, and gets picked out – just because I feel like it.

What many people do not know is that I was made this way. I told myself that I would never fall in love with another perfume again, as the treacherous manufacturers discontinued the one and only scent I ever gave my heart to. Donna Karan released this wonderful, wonderful perfume called Chaos – sometime in ’96 (I think). And it was taken off the shelves with no explanation, leaving many people bereft, in 2002.
Haiz – that was a scent I was addicted to for 6 long years.

What made Chaos reign supreme in my list of perfumes was its really unique make-up. It wasn’t floral. Not woodsy. Nope -not spicy either. No major overtones of musk. It was a very subtle blend of sandalwood and incense and musk. It was a comfort scent. I wore it as the scent kept me happy throughout the day – not for anyone else’s benfit. And now, it look like I may well have to burn almost a quarter of my year end bonus (if I am lucky) to bid and get my grubby paws on a bottle of

THIS

Now, if I put it on my Christmas wish list, do you think Santa might pay me a visit this year?

Kahaaniyan…

Hum ye blog update karke bohut din hochuke hein. Kya likhun, kaise likhun? Aise bohut badi baathon nehin hein humare life pe. Diwali ke baad kuch celebrations hein. Doston se milne ki mauka bhi aathi thi. Phir uske baad Eid bhi aathi thi. Magar is saal humko celebrate karneki kuch mood bhi nehin hein.

CTC, BBB, V, V ke bhai aur Jee ke saath dinner chale gaithe hum. Aur kaun aaya nazar ke saamne? The bloody last person I would have wanted to ever set my eyes on again!

Achcha, uske bhaat chodho. Dinner ke baath hum log clubbing jaana chathehein… aur clubbing bhi jaathe hein. Yahan hum kuch kehena chahthahu. Kuch logonke dhimaak kyun ithna kharaab hein? Aur uske niatein kyun ithna ghatiyaan hein? Samaj nehi payi. Hum chaar auratein hein. Humare saath ek saheli ki pati bhi hein aur ek saheli ki bhaai bhi hein. Aise situation pe kaise… samaj mein nehi.

There is something a lot of silly buggers in the indian community here have not understood. Just ‘cos a femme goes clubbing, is friendly, makes good conversation, enjoys her drinks does not mean that you can declare open season on her and do what you wish. Us raath ke baad, I’m sure, at least ek bewakoof mard ke dhimaak mein vo point pahunch jayegi. And if it did not, tho dobaara hum uski mu kaalaa karne ki mauka ke intzaar karthe rehethi hein.

Well, Diwali and Eid reports in detail will follow – sometime when I am not feeling too lazy to write.

Khuda Hafiz!
