World Peace! Thats what I got.. Wish it was that easy to all the inhabitants of the world, but thats what I got as the content of my priority box. Time does fly! End of July already? June was definitely jinxed for me, no regrets though. Even the most minutest of things ended up going wrong. Theres a saying when everything goes right, then there must be something bad around the corner waiting to happen. Well lucky me! i totally jinxed up my month and surpingly July isn’t that bad! 
. By the end of June I won a trip for three to one of Bahrain’s Islands through a magazine and the next month My article is published in the same magazine. And I was offered to write more for them. What more can I ask for? 
I have learnt the hard way, NEVER to watch a movie that you’ve already read as a novel. P.S. I love You was an utter disappointment. It did absolutely no justice to the novel. I guess I shouldn’t be pinning too much of hopes on Confessions of a Shopaholic either 
. Wouldnt it be nice if novels were made to movies word to word or with all the best scenes? Bet it would be long, yet we’d enjoy it! When I was younger I would always dream of submitting a script for a movie (No longer Thank God, or maybe someday i don’t know ), or while watching some movies I’d think hey I can do better than that! But for those of you from India who are interested, theres Sankalan. Wanted to write about this long back but never got around to doing it.. Sorry
I’ve exchanged emails like I never have in this time.. Thinking I’d do more productive stuff online and concentrate on my work I reduced my online presence. Yet I seem to have fallen in love with e-mailing. Exchange about 20-30 mails a day with any friend n I’m good! Speaking of email, Gmail has come up with two brilliant features. I love the Take a Break feature which is being tested through Gmail Labs, it blocks ur view of gmail for 15 minutes. For someone like me who keeps checking my mail every 5 seconds (I THINK, provided my server isn’t down) its really good to get some quality work done. Whenever am on a deadline Take a Break heroically comes to my rescue! Being on a network You always have the fear if any of your mails are being read and in one of my posts I’d mentioned about https. For the first few days after I posted that I would manually enter https while i opened my Gmail and finally there came a time I forgot about it too until recently when I learnt Gmail has a new feature where you could permanently set your page for https.. Cheers to a secure connection!
Heard of Freecycling? If you havent its a method where you give your used stuff for free to someone else who may need it and vice versa. Just go the freecycle website and check if your city has a group. If not you could start on your own and get Freecycling! Your waste could be someone else’s treasure is what freecycle says! The Bahrain Freecycle forum is dead I’m sure with all new members request to join being bounced (owners/moderastors listening?). But I joined another of the cities forum and its really good to see people give and take, all for free.
The heat is at its max at this time of the year. As if the Bahrain Humidity wasn’t enough, the fine dust storms have chosen to appear occassionally leaving us to wonder, is it foggy today or is it just dust? My heart goes out to the labourers and to the people who have to work by shawarmas and grills in this heat. You need to experience this pain for a few minutes to realise what these people are going through.. Bahrain rules should be thanked for a noon to four work ban for labourers and also Coca Cola Bahrain for having taken the initiative to send volunteers with bottles of drinking water for these people. Considerate indeed. A little help goes a long way! What’s summer without Summer Sales? Exactly! And thats something that helps take our mind of the heat and these days I can’t seem to take my mind off white clothing and footwear.. Yes footwear too, strange but true!
One word I’ve been coming across most of the times these days is Tween. So many new additions to the English language. Who coined this word? It means pre teens or youngsters between the period of being a teen, but to me tween sounds better to be a combination of teen plus queen..
Back to my writng for the magazine. I’ve taken up a challenge (oh how I hate it when I keep challenging myself) and its as tough as I thought it wouldn’t be, but here’s to hoping all goes well and by this time next week am a relaxed soul!
