Being CANDYD

CHILLY ESCAPADES...

Just the other day the boss(!) and myself were watching the movie "The Chronicles Of Narnia" - a movie which i must say i loved... though the book wins hands down any day! Back to the point- so we we had our eyes glued to the screen( me occasionaly wanting to strangle one annoying kid yelling through the film!), when suddently the two of us look at each other and say "dude, i want to eat all that snow!" the sight of all that pure, white, powdery,fresh snow was more than we could take... i am an official ice addict.. i love eating ice cubes, snow, any other form of frozen water you can think of( you are permitted to use your imagination!)Recently i found out that this need to eat ice arises from some kind of deficiency- iron i think... jus a lil' tidbit of information!

The ice trays at home are never full, a fact that irks my father no end. My mom, brother and yours truly cant allow such a catastrophe to occur- We have even introduced the sublime pleasures of eating ice to both my doggie darlings... so my poor dad is outnumbered! At times we even go around to my neighbours place and borrow ice when we are entertaining...( i know,am lucky to have such understanding neighbours!)

I have to eat ice while studying, watching t.v or for that matter while writing this post(dont ask how i juggle between the ice cubes and the keyboard! lol).. In fact ice cubes are nothing compared to the real deal- the ice or frost found in all the old refridgerators(not the frost-free ones), oh the height of bliss was scraping the sides of the freezer( the inside mind you)... Man oh man i miss my old fridge( sigh!)

Only today the two of us stole a couple of ice cubes at our seniors farewell while s handfull of second years looked on with flabbergasted expressions!( priti if u are reading this- yes indeed, I caught a few shocked glances coming our way!)

On my first trip to the Himalyas, a trip to Nagarota in Jammu ; I was found by an uncle knee deep in snow, packing it into small snowballs( was around ten then)placing them in a neat mound, and then instead of throwing them at him as expected,i was attacking them with gusto( in my defence - it was fresh snow ...how on earth could i refrain??!)

I have to run now, my stash has been consumed and the fridge beckons.. To guys who havnt tried it.. you are missing out on something mindblowing(yes you dont need drugs!)and to those who are eating ice while reading this post, i raise my glass full of --- on the rocks( only the rocks actually..lol) and salute you!
