Woohoo!! I made it to my 400th post!!! Wow... not bad for a little over a year. This post is a reflection of the past year. There were tough times, tears, laughs, changes but I have gotten through them, and managed to change my perspective around. Blogging at first was just something I would do here and there, casually. It wasnt until I started using it to channel my inner voice and bring to laughter some of the raw truths in my life that blogging became fun. Of course having a following doesnt hurt, either. I blog whatever comes to mind and sometimes I stop and think, No one is going to understand this.. or No one is going to follow... and then....someone.. somewhere reading.. gets it..... and comments.. its a beautiful thing.
I do value all comments. I live for them! Most all feedback is positive, some even try and capitalize on it -- my latest suggestion: You should write restaurant reviews on your blog. :P He means well, really.
So today.... Im set to party RETRO style. So bring your bell bottoms, your up-dos, dance moves, dont forget your roller skates and LET'S PARTY!!!
DJ 
Dancing Lab Mice...if you will. :)(If you're not sure how a virtual party works here are a few helpful hints: The theme is RETRO. Google images for styles for mod, retros, 80s, etc and comment what you're wearing and what you're grooving to. youtube.com is great for picking out dance moves and songs)

*Sobia cabbage patches in the room*
Hey, Farah! *she says in her gori Urdu accent*
(Sees the masses stare)
Who's that white girl wearing the fishnet gloves and side pony tail, Farah??? (She overhears)
"Oh, that's just that crazy Sobia from that Sometimes Forum"
Wow..she's really....(said smugly) interesting...*giggle giggle*
Farah: Hey listen, you guys are just lucky that she didn't bring Loco Coco with her ok?
*sobia smiles and waves*
Faaarraahhhhhhhh! I hope you don't mind but I invited a very dear friend to join me here later!
*Farah cringes*
Where's the food?????????????

The graphics arent loading grrrr.. oh well..

he he he...I couldn't stop staring....I just wonder what happens when his momma leaves him at daycare...the caregivers might think something was wrong...wrong wrong with him. ha ha ha
*Sobia break dances with the kid*
*the kid cries*
Gees, why I gotta make all the children cry..
*Sobia sits down, helps herself to some yummy food and waits for more guests to arrive*
He's my fearless crush! soo low to the ground already no wonder it doesnt hurt him when he falls..
Ras milai anyone???? There is a BYOM rule. (Bring your own mangoes)
The floor is open for suggestions criticisms concerns.......or love. :)
BYOM? This party is whack Farah!
A desi party without mango is like a sushi bar that only serves California rolls.
After a quick visit to the farmer's market (are they open at whatever time this party is taking place?), I've returned with mango. Fortunately, being a desi party, I was able to find chat masala with little to no effort by reaching into a few random purses.
I am now hit of the party. My theme song, "The Final Countdown" begins to crank out the system and although I can't dance, the larki's don't seem to mind. I look damn good, and my natural scent is divine. The goldfish in my platform shoes are dead, but I can't get them out. Either way, it's an interesting conversation piece.
"Let's try to remember why we're here", I insist, trying to reason with the crazed fans. As I raise my mango lucee, I make a toast. "This is Farah's day. Congratulations on your hugely successful blog, and what looks to be a very promising party."
Khizzle My Nizzle!!! ... my blog shines brighter now.
I am wearing a big hat saying:
"400"
Give me Pepsi - easy on ice !! - but if its free from Farah, make it full with ice.
Lets dance with T-shirt on Shalwar and moves are mix of bhangra and disco
Yess !!!!! - lets have a party.
Mystics with all the chics!!! How'd you get soo many girls with just a tshirt and shalwar?? rock on pal.......rock on! LOL
Why would you drink Pepsi when there's Pakola?!!!!!!!!
Im vintage.. so I got the green kind of pakola!
"DRUM ROLLS"...for Farah's achievement...
Lets start the party by offering some nice cool sweet icons. My suggestion: try "Frrrozen Hot Chocolate" drink. Or you can select your pick at:
http://www.serendipity3.com/food.htm
...followed by tasty juicy NY steak "PORTERHOUSE STEAK FOR TWO" (special request for Kosher product) at Old Homestead. Pick your dish at:
http://www.theoldhomesteadsteakhouse.com/index2.htm
Farah & company, if you are still craving for sugar crush, Emmm, check out these deserts "The Chocolate Fondue" or "Melting Chocolate Heat Cake" from only one MAX BRENNER at:
http://www.maxbrenner.com/menus.html
All right then! let the party begin...I'm having fun eating how about you??
OMG, BTW, close note: Congratulations- Officially you are a true celebrity, at least for now...hehehe...

You KNOW "Welcome to India" has to play at some point. For the few, the deprived, I'll post the lyrics
MC Vikram and Luda Krishna - Welcome to India
Welcome to India, mango juices and lassi, samosa crazy desis
and little kids that are milking the bhainses.
Toothbrush in my pocket, what is that?
We use our fingers here to keep our teeth clean, who said that?
Luda Krishna here, Vikram owns the Tata gears,
and I'm sitting in the Maruti Supreme,
with the cooling glass on no one bothers me.
because stars since the ever famous Mamooty.
Come with me to a place where we sip Frooties
and we eat the sweets while monkeys roam the streets.
Old uncle sits - big belly and very smelly (burp!)
Thank you Vikram, would you please pass the jelly,
I mean the pickle, hand it down this way, no mistake.
We greet the people at the end of the day!
Sixty five people hanging out, the door starts coming out.
Therefore, please don't raise your hand, you are not sure.
I broke into the local corner-store,
bought myself a very nice looking carrom board.
My fingers get sore when I shoot and I score,
and the ladkis all scream coz they all want some more,
of the Luda Krishna and the Vikram MC,
Sweetest things to hit the States since Mango Chutney.
We keep the kundis shaking, you better trust me.
The name is Luda Krishna, but my friends call me Sandeep, what!? (burp!)
Ohhh, Vikram, is that you my friend?!
That is me my friend!
Oh, please enter this rap game!
Ok man! C'mon ... tell me where you are going my friend.
Welcome to India where the cows eat hay,
and we drive auto-rickshaws everyday,
Goat-meat, yummy sweets while monkeys roaming,
The roosters don't crow till five in the morning!
Now the kundis don't jiggle till I am rapping,
So please don't pass the gas when you are laughing.
Up the music charts like mango trees I climb,
With a smooth voice like mine, is it a crime
Representing rap music since ninety seven?
Rap maharaja, I don't work at 7-Eleven.
Throw your hands in the air if you've got facial hair,
Not just for the guys, c'mon ladies be fair!
I'm the MFCs most obvious player, Wearing hot lungis, do you think I really care?
Monday night - computer club,
Tuesday night - at Akbaar rotary saying "Sweet thing, what is up?"
Wednesday - I'm out making Rupees
Thurday - On the lookout for Bharatnatyam queen
Friday - Everybody must know where I'm at,
coz I'm chilling on the field with my big cricket bat.
Saturday - my farts are breezy ... believe me,
so strong they will get you mad dizzy,
Sunday - Yaar, I cannot start weeping
because on Monday I will start the creeping .. Hallo!
Ohhhh ... I love that my friend!
Yaa dawg, that was funda-stic. Hey thank you, you're fabulous!
Oh, thank you my friend! Oh ...
Welcome to India where the cows eat hay,
and we drive auto-rickshaws everyday,
Goat-meat, yummy sweets while monkeys roaming,
The roosters don't crow till five in the morning! (2x)
Oh, oh, Go Luda, go Luda.
Ah, its my b'day!
That is your b'day man!
Yaaaaah. You know boy!
Oh oh oh ... it's great!
Ah, Indian my friend. Good night!
Alright, goodbye ... kiss my buttocks!!
Ahahahhaa... wonderful!
What I will wear: http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=28509&itemType=PRODUCT&iMainCat=10&iSubCat=15&iProductID=28509
How I will dance: http://youtube.com/watch?v=r9vYxqjRS_s

LAUR -- I know we got enough makeup for this event!!!!!.. im sure you will manage breakdancing beautifully.
Hey!!
Well done on reaching your 400th post!
Sorry I missed the partaaaay *wish I had the head banging pic from the ‘Sometimes Sobia’ forum to insert here*
Hope you enjoyed yourself!
Here's to another 400 posts :O)
Thanks for coming everyone! I had lots of fun!
Inshallah, here's to many many more interesting, funny, and totally random posts!
Ok...this was bugging me. This picture you linked ( http://tinyurl.com/34aovk ) reminded me of something I'd seen a long time ago, and I couldn't remember what.
A couple hours later, I remember.I'm sure someone else here has seen it, but it's this Indian song to the tune of "12 Days of Christmas", except it's about a wedding ceremony and one of the lines goes, "and a totally insufficient dowry" (that's all I remember of the song...that and something about chickens)
I'm at work so I can't youtube, but I googled it and I think this is the video: http://theunknownindian.blogspot.com/2006/12/totally-insufficient-dowry.html
I posted the video on here... and yeah that guy cartoon looks like one of the characters LOL.
wow.. good eye.
he he he...party hardy! The gangs all here! ;)
haha, I searched your blog for "dowry", and sure enough it came up: http://tinyurl.com/32gbgc
Wayyyyyyyyy before my time. Was this place that cool before I came along? :}
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Just a little cool... like 2 ice cubes... its off the chain now.
"your time" hahaha..
Congratulations!
Im so NOT talking to you! Yeh waqt hai anay ka?? Time vaikayaaa??
