Hey there.. You didn’t know or what?? Today is spilling day. And since I happen to be wearing my most favorite salwar go ahead and spill whatever you have in hand on me, stand back and have a good laugh.
For the above sentence to make sense.. Read on ..
I skipped breakfast today morning. Why??I had a match to watch last night. The semifinals of Euro for God’s sake and so happened to wake up late. 
And so on my way to work I grabbed a Tropicana Guava Nectar [Yeah.. we are that hip and we don't even look at anything other that Tropicana]. Just when I was patiently, for the want of a better word, injecting the straw into the tetra pack, the pink juice was so overjoyed to meet me that it spilt out and fell on my dress. Being the cleanliness freak that I am, [Oh you have no idea how bad I am] I slapped my forehead and in a rush to get a wet wipe spilt some more on the dress. When I wiped off the dress with bare hands the fingers slighta became wet and I wiped my fingers on my cheek. Yes I can act *that* stupid.. The lady sitting opposite vacated the seat . Need I say more.
I thought it would end there but destiny had other plans.
Lunch time it was sambhar’s turn. I’m not even going into details. I had a funny feeling right then that the day was far from being normal. Cut to 5 pm. A couple of colleagues and I were having a light chit chat and one of them had a finished coffee cup in hand. And before I could blink the last few mls of coffee were all over my dress, desk and chair.
Of all things in the world… COFFEE.. Its one beverage I HATE the most and its smell gives me nausea. And here I am sitting in this cubile stinking of coffee, wearing a dress which smells of .. well everything other than my perfume and typing this out.. Thankfully the dress isn’t a light coloured one. I dread to even think of my mom’s reaction had it been baby pink/powder blue or white. 
Gawd pls have some mercy on me. No more spillings today. And you, yes the one reading this, I am talking to you. Please stay away from me if you have something in hand that can spill. Even if its a matter of life and death, we’ll talk tomorrow. Today is just not my day!!

LOL! Hope nothing got spilled during dinner
June 26, 2008 at 10:17 PM
Oh, it happens to me many a time
But the thing is I have got so used to it that I have stopped worrying about spills these days! But yes, some days can really be bad 
Am a German fan ever since I saw Oliver Kahn play 
only thing – ESPN started behaving like DD on a few occasions and the coverage was interrupted. Today another match coming up. May not watch fully..finals promises to be really good 
Btw, the Euro Cup semis was really great – yay Germany managed to win

@Aparna
Luckily nothing
@Sathej
Finals gotta watch every single minute. 
I doubt if it can get better than this.
Normal spilling is ok. But yesterday it was slighta too much. Yeah awesome match.. Go Germany Go.. Me too became a German fan around that time only.. There was Thunderstorm in Vienna during the match.. Thats wy the transmission was interrupted.
@Ganesh
Nope. PIDIKADHU Lol nice try. No one did that yet.
They give .. I almost puke eveytime I smell those darn beans that close.
@priyaiyer
Danke
@Arv
Anything is better than smelling of coffee all day long
June 27, 2008 at 2:49 PM
Ya, they explained about the reason – some lightning strike
Finals, yes, promises to be very interesting 
Hope Deutschland wins..I always have some sympathy for them – its been a long time they won something-they are often so near, yet so far. But then so is the case with Spain 
. But, for me, go Germany go

@Sathej
Sigh.. They played so badly I couldn’t believe it was the same team that played so well enroute to the final.
@Peppermint
to you. FYI that poor salwar has been promptly washed with lots and lots of tide. So it smells much better now. 
June 30, 2008 at 11:05 PM
Ya sigh
Felt really bad for them.
