Today, as I gaze through the window from my office bay, I wonder many wonderful things I would love to do right now. Watch an old Hrishikesh Mukherjee movie or some Scrabble with friends.

I then realised, weather influences our mood so much! I see many happy people chattering away with their forgotten neighbours, old friends, new colleagues just because the day is so right! Its not too hot or too cold, not too windy and not too bright! It actually is an aphrodisiac! Couples getting away from their daily routines just so that they can be together. mothers taking their kids to the parks, friends catching up at their favourite malls and cafes. I wish this stayed so. I bet the shrinks wouldn't mind an off day too!

Signing off... I remember the song Its a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong.

The One!

I was reading an article last night about "The Elusive One". You know what I'm talking of. Not "the One" as in the Matrix movie trilogy but the one as in the Prince Charming who sweeps the girls off their feet.

I was wondering why do we girls always are on a lookout for the one? And who told us about him? The answer is, we've been growing up with this notion inspired from the Fairy tales at bedtime, the colourful Bollywood films where the hero is what we all are looking for! It simply is - "The righteous one whose masculine appeal lies in the strong physical body and intense eyes, yet is sensitive to our every qualms and pains. Especially when we PMS!" And we didn't even realise it!

I've been single all my 22 years of my life. Yes, a few of us do exist not because we never found interesting men but simply because we're heading the chase for the One! The guys I meet are interesting but somehow not what I am looking for.

Now in case you're wondering what am I looking for, I'll list out the usual. Tall, Dark and Handsome with a sense of Humour. Now, this shouldn't be difficult one might say. But when I mean Tall, Dark and Handsome, it means, not less than a six-footer, not so dark that I see only the whites of his eyes( Yes, I'm very shallow as you can see) , not very handsome that I become insecure about! I think this is a decent request since I'm no Beauty queen myself! Ah yes, I almost forgot! The "Sense of Humour" criteria!

A lot of guys might want to question what I mean by the right kind of sense of humour. Simple! The jokes he cracks shouldn't be centred around Toilets, Farts, Blondes, Wives, and disastrous cooking, but then, shouldn't always be dry and boring. He's allowed to joke about the women I don't appreciate ( let in some sarcasm slip by) or about the politicians, or maybe a little more. Easy as ABC, right?!

So the search continues...
