All I want is not all I need

Published by reshmac under General

He calls me an emotional extremist, I laugh till I cry and cry till I finally smile. My dad, sis and friends know exactly what type of jokes make me laugh and inspite of them cracking the same jokes hundred times I still laugh with the same zeal(now that makes me pretty predictable). I get pleasure in very small things in life and one of the things is buying my own things, I wouldn’t say I am an extravagant fool but I do like to indulge myself in little pleasure shopping tours. These are some of the things I wish to buy this year 2007-2008, at the end of 2008 I will come back to this post and check if I was successfull in fulfilling my desires:

me

I have always wanted a black elegant overcoat which I can wear to work, dinners and other occassions but due to students budget I had to compromise and go for simpler jackets; sporty and trendy ones(though I have 4 such sporty types ;) and love them all as they keep me superwarm during chilly days).

Data structures and algorithms

I so loved this book when I saw its hard bound version at Borders Book Shop, sometimes I see a book and just fall in love with it, but again the price was exorbitant to just satiate my greed for the smooth covered shining book. I have used the low priced edition of the same book also the e-version of this book is easily available but standing in the store and keeping the smooth copy back to the shelves made my heart cry.

Coffee Maker

I am totally fanatic about all sorts of coffee flavours dpending on my mood, strong during exams, frothy during vacations and early morning mild but hot coffee are in my favorite list. I would love to get up every morning and use a coffee maker shown in the pic and enjoy a cup of coffee that just suits my taste and mood. But everytime I think of buying it, something ESSENTIAL screams for priority :( and I run to coffeeshop every time I get my usual coffee craving.

iPhone

And last but not the least, the greedy me asks for more, my Tmobile contract will get over in august 2008 after that I would definitely be tempted to go for this chick piece. There was a time when I was desperate to get an ipod but now that I can afford, I dont feel like buying it at all. All I wish to own is iPhone and I am sure Shreyas will definitely jump for it and as we compete for almost everything; I will have to buy it before him ;)

International Gala & NY

Published by reshmac under General

The weekend is almost arrived and the excitement for the advent of Spring Break is all over Northeastern. Kids are making plans to visit parents and friends why me not chirpy ? I have 2 quizzes and 2 project submissions lined up the following week, what on earth can make me happy as a clam at high water!! Plus I have had my share of fun evenings at the International Gala night at school. It was a splendid gathering of the entire world on one stage, there talent knew no bounds of culture, cast or region.

New

These days I am very much fanatic about the city New York. Inspite of visiting the city only once, there is something magnetic about the place which keeps inviting me. I am sure it’s not just the after effect of watching too many episodes of Sex and the City last year(that counts too), I feel it gave me more of a Mumbai(My Hometown) effect in the city. Have I ever mentioned about the terrific Deja-Vus I get? I remember distictly getting a strong Deja-vu in New York. I prefer crowd around me than being in a quiet place, the importance of having the presence of people around, is appreciated by students like me who have come here from a place like Mumbai.
P.S. Prospective employers in New York (who value employee satisfaction) please note down this point ;).
