Superbad Superdry

The story started a few months ago when I wanted a new all purpose hoodie. Happened to stumble across a store called Superdry at Phoenix mall and found exactly the kinds I was looking for. As I was exploring, I saw an absolutely amazing wind cheater which I promised to buy for myself some other day. That day came recently, when I finally bought that wind cheater with a lot of zips which took a frustratingly long time to understand but once I did and wore it, looked absolutely fantastic! (And it burned a giant hole in my metaphorical pocket, but it was totally worth it)

Now, winter hasn't arrived yet but I wanted to try this wind cheater out. So I decided to ride out my mother's electric bike for a meeting wearing it. So comfortable! As I rode, my playlist switched to 'Hard row' by the Black keys. I was a woman on an electric bike riding the mean streets on Pune listening to rock music wearing a superdry jacket. I felt badass!

Why? read on... A few days ago, I saw Pacific rim. Instantly liked Charlie Hunnam and realised that I'd seen him in a show called 'Undeclared' which I would stream online before. He is quite hot, so I did a google search on him and found that Charlie Hunnam currently acts in a show called 'Sons of Anarchy' In which he rides around on a Harley. I saw the pilot episode where in one scene he rides his bike as 'Hard row' plays in the background...

Good music can turn even the most mundane mundane situations (in this case, riding an electric bike while wearing a superdry jacket) exciting!

A poem about what a brick might want to be...

Louis Kahn asked the brick what it wanted to be, 

The brick turned around and said Hey, you talking to me?

His eyes were wistful when He said to the brick, 
'If you were and arch would it do the trick?'

The brick looked low when I passed by, 
I said 'hey dear brick don't be so dry'

'An arch is much too tedious So don't be flustered, 
You can be anything you like and you shall be plastered!'

The brick said 'why?' 'Why do you want me to toil,
When I can take the easier way outAnd just remain top soil...'

Old scarves

I went to a fancy store that sold scarves and remembered an article about turning a scarf into a nice camera strap that I had read a few years ago. Those scarves in the store were so fancy that they were expensive and we didn't buy any. 

The cheaper ones weren't that great.

Once I got home, my mother gave me a bag of scarves that my father used to wear. I made two of them into camera straps. 

Felt good remembering my father wearing those wonderful scarves!

I just oiled my bike lock... why am I so happy?

Used all purpose oil...
