Calvin & Hobbes cracks me up

This is exactly me! Thats the amazing part about Calvin & Hobbes. You can always find something which is so relatable, so real, and even a serious problem seems hilarious!

Taika: "great change"

In the past 4 months I have gone through what is probably the biggest change in my life. A change that forced me to get up before 6 AM every day (unheard of for me...didnt know what sunrises looked like!), stop going out and partying (for a brief period of time of course...now its all good), exercise regularly (another first!) and basically think about something else other than ME!

4 months ago a brat with mournful brown eyes and the cutest face entered my world and right now I dont know how I managed without her. I've never had someone so happy to see me at any given point of the day and even though I sometimes leave her all alone she's never reproachful. While she may ruin my clothes, dirty the house after rolling in the mud, try and steal food of my plate and generally cause all hell to break loose...at the end of the day who can resist this face...

Of singing in the rain

"Singing in the rain" is probably one of my all-time favourite songs. There's something about Gene Kelly dancing around a rainy street hugging lamposts that makes me smile at any point. I sing it in the shower, in my car while I'm driving ( no music system so this is entertainment a la me), when I'm sad, when I'm happy.

The funny part is I hate the rain or to put it more specifically, I hate getting wet. Its all good when its pouring outside and you get to sit at home under a quilt...but when I think of Bombay days where I used to have to sit in cold draughty classrooms completely drenched...I shudder to think how I went through it.

But every time I think of these words...

I'm singing in the rain

Just singing in the rain

What a glorious feelin'

I'm happy again

I'm laughing at clouds

So dark up above

The sun's in my heart

And I'm ready for love

Let the stormy clouds chase

Everyone from the place

Come on with the rain

I've a smile on my face

I walk down the lane

With a happy refrain

Just singin',

Singin' in the rain

...all I can think is the man's right...there's nothing happier...
