TWITCHY TWITCH

This is probably the umpteenth time someone is blogging about a twitching eye, but nevertheless my eye is twitching like hell.
A little bit of research on the net tells me about the scores of superstitious beliefs surrounding myokymia ( the medical term for it)

The chinese believe that a twitching left eye is good for males and a twitching right eye is good luck for females

The Indian version is exactly the opposite.

The Lost islands of Mekamekari believe that the right eye twitch signifies an alien invasion while a left eye twitch is a sure sign that a flying cow will crap on your head ( I just made that up , including the ficitional nation)

But on a serious note, a twitch can be caused by lack of sleep, fatigue , anxiety or too much caffeine.....

So the next time ur eye twitches, just relax and take a nap

THE BLAZING HEAT .... AND FACEBOOK ADDICTION




Its a blazing 42 degrees outside. Stepping out in the sun feels like pushing your head into a hot tandoor. It is suicide to step out without adequate sunscreen , cotton clothes, shades, a cap, and air conditioner in your car. On an imaginative perspective, one could fry an omlette on someones bald pate...kinda reminds me of the scene from the movie HOTSHOTS, where charlie sheen fries bacon on a hot lady's tummy....

With this punishing extreme outside, theres is no choice but to stay indoors, which virtually means being glued to the laptop......which further means logging onto facebook.....AND STAYING THERE.

Thanks to my friend Neha who sent me an invite, its been months of checking updates, changing status updates, profile images, posting pics and of course.....not to forget MAFIA WARS. My favourite virtual clickfest of a game, wher u are a virtual gangster forming mafias, holding property and pulling off heists.

and I will be posting this on facebook too.....
