Snowy Saturday

Well it was snowing earlier ...and stopped. I kinda understand why some people become alcoholics. Here, I was feeling a little blah after watching my 2 Bollywood movies. One was just incredibly corny, and the other was so sad. By the way, if you haven't you should check out Deepa Mehta's movies: Earth, Fire and Water. I just watched Earth today and thus done with the trilogy. She is not typical Bollywood and her movies have been controversial. Anyhow...I was lying on my couch and decided to convert my negative energy into something positive...so i made a fish and shrimp curry, and tidied up my space. I am now sipping on a glass of white wine and men I suddenly feel light hearted and well ...LOL. Do you ever think of an alter-life? I do. If there's one culture I feel I identify with after being Nigerian, it would be Indian. No, I do not mean native American. I sometimes fantasize about life as an Indian woman. I think their beauty is underrated. I confess that I love their thick, long, glossy, dark hair. Yes, I have serious Indian hair envy. I absolutely love sari's, tunes from the sitar, gulab jamons, names like Anjeli, Latika, Abhishek, Sana and Rahul, tikka masalas and curries. From Bollywood, I feel Indian culture understands what I want in romance and dating...lol. Yes, it's fiction, but fiction often imitates life. Do you watch Nollywood? Romance in Nollywood, is a not too distant depiction of what romance is between Nigerians...and I can i say ewww. Meanwhile back to my Indians, shoo even in real life..look at theTaj Mahal; one of the greatest monuments of love. Ok so yes, Indianhood is my alter life. Ok my food is ready i am off to eat and sip on more wine :)
