V-day highlights

Thought I should get this post out before Ugadi at the least. The Rajni dialogue about 'late' and 'latest' .. totally applies here.

V-day lunch: 'Mushy hearts pasta' (refer header pic) from the Average kitchen.

V-day dinner: party at a friend's place. Made a V-day themed game for it. Each person picked two cards with words written on them from a pile of cards. The goal of the game was to make a V-day wish for your Valentine using the two words. I got 'love' and 'undress' and the GI got 'fat' and 'kiss' and I should say he kicked my butt at the game although I had the more *ahem* interesting words. He came up with a funny yet subtly mushy limerick and I had an almost cheesy one-liner. He got a bar of chocolate as the prize which he promptly presented to me. Haha! Now, what was that SRK dialogue? -- 'haarkar jeetne waalon ko.. ' -- yep.. that one.. totally applies here! Dontchyathink? ;-)

When we get frisky and make heads turn..

Ahem.. and by "we", I do not mean the GI and me. Aha! Now I have your full attention, don't I? So, this Chinese co-worker friend (a spunky, unpredictably funny, straight girl for the record) and I were walking back from lunch inside our office campus. We were discussing some work topic, when I low-five'ed her for some work item that we seemed to have found a solution for. She low-five'ed back and very spontaneously held my hand and we walked like that, swinging hands between us, like two happy kids enjoying a good camaraderie. And girl, did we make a few heads turn? It was so amusing to see people's reactions that we walked hand-in-hand all the way back to our offices! Were people shocked about seeing two girls walk hand-in-hand? Err.. I don't think so. Come-on, this is frikkin-liberated-than-liberace-Frisco. I think people were more interested in knowing if there was some new development between us! Haha. Anyway it was a fun exercise in making heads turn. Doesn't happen to me everyday! :)

What was your head-turning moment off-late?
