After days of working hard on farms, cooking and serving up hot dishes, and visiting friends' apartments--all virtually, I am exhausted. Farmville, Cafe World and Yo Ville caught the imagination and attention completely; so much so that I am ready to check into Facebook rehab.
Stepped out into the real world only to visit a friend's place for a birthday party--a house party after eons and a short walk in the neighborhood. The party was alright, life was injected into it almost toward the fag end when a talkative latecomer joined. Food was alright--biryani, cutlets, baked spinach and cheese augratin, parathas, paneer butter masala, chips et al. The dessert was of course the devilishly rich chocolate birthday cake. The company was also just alright, all new faces barring a few. The mood was uplifted once everyone congregated on the balcony amidst thunder and lightning followed by a cool downpour.
The walk was nice considering the weather these days is just lovely. I ought to do this more often, kinda forgotten what its like to walk amidst nature without being constantly interrupted by friends and some nosy neighbours for inane conversation during an evening walk.
So I'm discussing the weather and my virtual life in a blogpost. That's how slow my life has been lately. Social networking activities has taken up more time than an active social life. Time to get back to life, back to reality!

hmmph, for some reason, my google reader won't show me updates on your blog at all,, but see i still did a pretty good job w/o it. And i have a similar story, apart from the fact that i'm not addicted to farmville yet.
Duh! Only losers play Farmville.
What kind of a party is it if they don't serve booze? You are right about the 'fag' part in reference to the party.
You probably derive some sadistic pleasure by mentioning parathas, don't you?
all I remember from this post is "devilishly rich chocolate birthday cake".
I cannot be cured!
@Ferret, reader or not, you still showed up!
@Bodhi, only losers play Farmville and don't admit it.
@V, i was kinda surprised that there was no booze too! And what's the big deal about parathas...you should get them in any Indian store/restaurant there...must be the most commonly available dish on any menu aside from paneer butter masala.
@Ni, hi5! :D
Sure, we do. The potatoes in the parathas appear to have been harvested during WW2 and frozen in time. It's truly very tasty.
Oh no, another Farmville fan :(
