qui vivra verra

okay... so as most of u know, the blog has recently been renamed.... it used to be 'strange people, strange things'. was named thus, bcoz basically i was feeling strange when i started it. i had just got to the US and had a whole lot of time on hand. also, i hadn't thought anybody would ever read it.

now that i have more than 5 regular readers and over 200 posts - i thought, time to revamp! i thought of changing the look, but well, i LOVE this template. it's VERY me. so i thought of changing the name.
and i must say, i love you guys for actually thinking so much. honestly, i hadn't expected SO many options to choose from! :) it confused me... but then, as i'd said, there was only one which i read and thought "why didn't i think of that?!"

a few of the others that had me thinking were:

- soul curry *i like the 'good for u' part of it. also that we have identical roots - d curry & me, that is.*
- organized chaos *speaks a lot about me, yes.*
- sunny side up *bright n happy?*
- not so strange anymore *nice, no?*
- girl unlimited *i, really really liked this!*
- spice bowl *i mixed up suma's "spicy, just d way i like it" & preethi's "spice of life"*
- thought cauldron *bcoz it is.*

cynosure of blogwood was extremely sweet. and flattering. but no, not true! :)

none, except mrids, said i should retain the name. but then, she was on her way home from work. *which would mean, not in the right frame of mind* also, i have stopped trusting people who work where she does.

and then galadriel mailed me with "qui vivra verra"
and tho i loved it immediately, i had to google it to confirm the meaning. *my french is VERY basic* and to confirm that she wasn't merely pulling my leg. confirmation was reqd. esp. after that "wise" suggestion she left in the comments space!

so here u go. welcome to qui vivra verra. or 'time will tell' in plain english. it's also the english proverb-equivalent to 'what will be will be'. it's literal translation is "(S)He who lives will see". why i like it best. bcoz it's not the easiest to understand, yet very simple. it seems all high & mighty, but is not. it's mysterious till u read more and know that it's not. it's survival of the fittest.
a lot like me, in a lot of ways.


kewl eh?
