Sach Ka Saamna… Part 3

(Part 1 & 2 being already done by Ashish and Azra respectively.)

The rules are thus…
RULE 1
You can only say Guilty or Innocent
RULE 2
You are not allowed to explain anything unless someone messages you and asks!

Nopes. I will give my explanations.

Ever kissed someone of the same sex?
Innocent. A casual peck on the cheek or a hug is all that my gal friends have got from me so far. I am very straight.

Asked someone to marry you?
Guilty. Yes, I have done that and meant it too.

Ever told a lie?
Totally guilty. BTW did I mention I can lie really well?

Had feelings for someone whom you can’t have back?
Innocent and Guilty, both. Actually I have never really had feelings for someone who did not have them for me first. But ya, had fellings for someone whom I got, then lost (and it continued forever) and have finally found him again!!! The future.. well nobody knows it.

Kissed a picture?
Guilty. Never of a guy or of a superstar, but of a very cute pup (The poster in my room, I kiss it like atleast a 100 times everyday). Can’t resist pups and kittens.. they are soooo very cute.

Slept in until 5 PM?
Innocent. The maximum I have slept has been till 2.30 PM when my mum comes home from her job. Not to mention the sound scolding I got after that!!!

Danced on a table in a bar?
Innocent. I am 22 and never been to a pub, disc, bar or even to a club. But that’s one thing I really really wanna do.. get stone drunk and dance on a table top.

Fallen asleep at work/school?
GUILTY. Absolutely. Totally. The ques. should have been who hasn’t???

Been suspended from school?
Guilty. Not from school, but from XIME. Me and Rahul were playing ‘missed calls’ game during a presentation, when suddenly our marketing teacher caught hold of Rahul’s cell and saw all my missed calls. Took us to the Dean and he suspended us for 3 days. Rahul cried, I did not. Well, he had a reason too, since the Dean also confiscated his cell, and read all his messages and checked his contact and call list (and he was our Ethics prof. in college.. duhuh!!). Anyways, I was very tensed at first (bcz that was my first suspension & I also had to pay a fine of Rs. 500) and then was very happy bcz that meant I got chutti for 3 days which I spent by getting up real late, having breakfast at Satkar, followed by a movie at Forum Mall and finally a dinner treat by my friends at Dominos. I was a real rockstar!!!

Worked at a fast food restaurant?
Innocent. Nah, thought about working in McD during my college days, but din’t get permission from dad. Thank god.

Stolen from a store?
Innocent. I am a real scare baby, could never muster up enough courage to do it.

Laughed until something you were drinking came out your nose?
Guilty. This always happens with me when I am having Coke.

Caught a snowflake on your tongue?
Innocent. I am not at all a snow person. I prefer beaches and mountains.

Kissed in the rain?
Innocent. We were walking on the road and it was raining, and I felt like kissing him on impulse. But I obviously didn’t bcz we were “just friends”… basically I am a coward.

Sat on a roof top?
Guilty. I totally loved the terrace of XIME girls’ hostel... it was on the 3^rd floor, no noise of traffic or anything could penetrate/disturb me and I used to sit there for like hours staring at the stars or the twinkling of lights at far off distance. It was also the place where I used to go to relax, to have some private moments with myself, and also to chat with friends or talk on the phone without being overheard by anyone. But I miss it the most bcz that’s where I used to cry too when I missed home or ‘someone’.

Sang in the shower?
Guilty. More than that, I love dancing in the shower with romantic songs being played in the background. That’s where I play out my romantic fantasies that I can’t really fulfil in reality.

Been pushed into a pool with all your clothes on?
Innocent.

Made a girlfriend/boyfriend cry?
Guilty. I regret it. But couldn’t help it.

Shot a gun?
Innocent. I hope we are talking about real guns here, bcz I love to shoot water balloons at holi and the normal balloons at stalls where you get a prize in return.

Donated Blood?
Innocent. The only time I tried donating blood was in XIME. But they did not take mine bcz my weight was 3 kgs less than what they wanted. They did not even check my haemoglobin. But I really wanted to experience that feeling.

Eaten alligator meat?
Innocent. Please tell me who eats alligator meat except the guy on Discovery Channel (Man v/s Wild)

Still love someone you shouldn’t?
Guilty. Apparently the song’s that I am listening now says, “Maanga jo mera hai, jaata kya tera hai, maine kaunsi tujhse jannat maang li.. Kaisa khuda hai tu, bas naam ka hai tu, rabba jo teri itni si bhi na chali”…. lol

Liked someone, but will never tell who?
Guilty. I have never told my crushes that I used to like them. But if its serious, then I do tell them.

Been too honest?
Guilty. I always tell whatever I feel very strongly about. Never really bothered to stop and think about the consequences first.

Kissed someone you shouldn’t?
Innocent. Kisses are very special to me, I never do it unless I am very sure. Which means, unless I am TOTALLY IN LOVE.

Ruined a surprise?
Innocent. I have never knowingly ruined anybody’s surprise, but my surprises are ALWAYS ruined. So I understand the importance of surprises, each failure hurts a lot.

Ate in a restaurant and got really bloated that you couldn’t walk afterwards?
Guilty. We used to stuff ourselves to the brim with good hotel food when I was in XIME, Bangalore bcz the hostel food was inedible and our only salvation was outside food.

Erased someone from your friends list?
Guilty. I don’t do it a lot of times, but that means THE END to me. Only one person has been able to come back till now.

Dressed in a woman’s clothes (if you’re a guy) or man’s clothes (if you’re a girl)?
Innocent. Even when I was an infant, I was dressed up in cute frocks and skirts to emphasise on the point that I am a GIRL (being the only one in my generation!!!)

Been told that you’re handsome or beautiful by someone who totally meant what they said?
Guilty. A lot.

Had communication with your ex?
Guilty. More so bcz my “EX” was never really my ex.. I never stopped loving him or stopped having feelings for him. So he was never really my ‘past’, but was always my ‘present’, though I was totally hopeless about ‘future’. Well that’s what’s Love for me.. once there, always there. I am mushy in love. “Pehli baar mohabbat ki hai… Akhiri baar mohabbat ki hai… “

Got totally drunk on the night before exam?

Innocent. Leave exams, never been totally drunk in my life, but this does not imply that I havn’t tried drinks before.

I tag everyone who wants to have a little fun, and is not scared of speaking the truth.

Sounds & Music... Its Magik... ROCK ON !!!

Now that my blog shows that its been 3 weeks since i have updated it, and a lot of my well wishers have also pointed out the obvious to me, here i am with an update. But honestly i dont have something really interesting or intelligent to write about, so am doing the musical tag (i was tagged like in my last birth, but i chose to ignore it then, so that other than fighting and later apologising i can do something constructive in this birth as well..) So cutting the chase short lets straight get down to business...

The rules of the game are pretty simple. First of all, put your MP3 player/media player on shuffle. For each question, press the next button for your answer. You should write the song down, NO MATTER WHAT and hey, NO CHEATING!!!

1. IF SOMEONE SAYS "IS THIS OKAY?", YOU SAY?

Meherbaan- Jal. In other situations i would normally have told the truth, but now the song says, "Tere bina main bezameen, tere bina main beaasmaan.. tu hatheli, main henna.. aaj aelaan yeh kar denge, ek hain ek rahenge...." I guess this means whatever you say darling is right.

2. WHAT WOULD BEST DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONALITY?

Aawarapan banjarapan- Jism. "Aawarapan, banjarapan, ek khala hai seene me.. Iss dharti par jis pal suraj roz savere ugta hai, apne liye to roz usi pal dhala hai seene me.. jaane yeh kaisi aag lagi hai, iss me dhuan na chingari, ho na ho iss pal koi khwab jala hai seene me.." This means i am nomadic and a night person. I prefer to watch movies on my laptop when everybody in my hostel is fast asleep, and then have problems getting up early in the morning. In this trimester, i have also specialised in dozing off in between the lectures, you see i am on the last bench again, so no audio or video interference from the lecturers disturb me.

3. WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN A GUY/GIRL?

Kuch is tarah- Atif. "Kuch iss tarah teri palkein meri palkon se mila de, aansun tere saare meri palkon pe saaja de... tu har ghadi har waqt mere saath raha hai, haan yeh jism kabhi door kabhi paas raha hai, jo bhi gam hai tere unhe tu mera pata de... mujhko to tere chehre pe yeh gam nahi jachta, jayaz nahi lagta mujhe gam se tera rishta.." I like honesty and straight forwardness in people. But for the person i like/love its mandatory to share his (i am straight, no doubts on that.) problems with me; this makes me feel better and close to that person. And if i cannot solve things, i can atleast be with him (not physically but emotionally)

4. HOW DO YOU FEEL TODAY?

Ahista ahista- Bachna ae hasino. "Ahista ahista mujhe yakeen ho gaya, ahista ahista yeh dil yahin kho gaya.. hua yeh pehli baar, mujhe ho gaya hai pyaar... " Ya i am in love, totally and completely love struck. And quite evident from my playlist, i am a little mushy and romantic by nature.

5. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE?

Ae zindagi gale laga le- Sadma. "Ae zindagi gale laga le, hum ne bhi tere har gam ko gale lagaya hai.." Tackle the problems head on, nothing matters very much and few things matter at all. Though i get very agitated at first, but in the long run, beleive me, time clears the debris on its own.

6. WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO?

Lonely- Akon. "I really wanna make things right, because without you my life's so lonely..." Making everything so right, that my loved ones are never in any kind of trouble. I am made up of my family and friends who surround me, without whom i am all incomplete and lost.

7. WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF YOU?

Bandagi- Drona. "Palchhin palchhin uljhi uljhi ek raina, dhankan dhadkan bikhre bikhre se chaina, milo chale hai gumsum yeh khamoshi, kitna bhi samjhaon yeh manena.. iss dil me goonje reh reh kar aur bijli sagar jaisa aur hairaan kare par reh jaaye badal yeh bin barse..." My best friend's only complain is that i dont speak up my problems or my emotions, i expect too much to be understood by way of silences.

8. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR PARENTS?

Baahon ke darmiyan- Khamoshi. "Baahon ke darmiyan, do pyaar mil rahe hain.. " Lets just say that the love nest my parents have made for me and my bro is the safest haven of all places on the world.

9. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT VERY OFTEN?

Ae mere humsafar- Qayamat se qayamat tak. "Ab hai judaai ka mausam do pal ka mehmaan, kaise na jaiga andhera, kyon na thamega tufan, kaisa na milegi manzil pyar ki.. " One of the dialogues of Laws of attraction goes on like this, 'So one little hiccup and we give in? Fight for what you beleive in. Fight fair, fight dirty, but fight. Fight to save your love." I totally beleive in it. Leaving should never be an option, if it is, then you'll never fight hard enough to make the things work. The song from the same movie (I watched it yesterday, its hang over's still on!!) says, "Then that time i went and said goodbye; Oh! now i am back and not ashamed to cry; Oh baby here i am; Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm Yours."

10. WHAT IS 2+2?

Zara zara- Rehna hai tere dil me. Can't really make out anything out of it. Guess i should have selected the songs keeping in mind the questions, or atleast cheated a bit to come up with a really suitable answer.

11. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR BEST FRIEND?

Teri ore- Singh is king. "Dil kho gaya, ho gaya kisi ka, ab raasta mil gaya khushi ka, aankhon me hai khwab sa kisi ka, ab raasta mil gaya khushi ka, rishta naya rabba dil choo raha hai, khiche mujhe koi dor, teri ore..." I am attracted to both of them for their ability to make me laugh and spread goodness all around. By the way this is the only decent song from this movie.

12. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PERSON YOU LIKE?

Take me home country roads- John Denver. "Country roads take me home, to the place i belong, West Virginia (New Delhi), mountain mama take me home.. all my memory gather around her (him).. " Its in Delhi that we first met, and have all the fond memories of that place and that time. How i wish i never had to come down to Bangalore.

13. WHAT IS YOUR LIFE STORY?

Hamein itna pyaar- Jal. "Hamein itna pyaar na karo ki hum mar jaye, humein itna tanha na karo ki jee na paye.. koi dil ka karaar jaane na, koi mann ki yeh baat bataye na, koi ankhon hi ankhon me keh de yeh baat.. " I work in extreme cases; either i am totally into a person or the person does not matter to me at all. Same with situations. So those who are close to me understand me and for others i am and will always remain an enigma. Pretty simple, no?

14. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?

Yeh tumhari meri baatein- Rock on. "Yeh tumhari meri baatein yuhi chalti rahe.. beete yuhi apne saare din raat, baaton se nikalti rahe nayi baat, phir wahi baate leke geet koi hum likhe, jo dil ko haan sabke dil ko choo le, baatein suron me yuhi pighalti rahe, baatein geeton me yuhi dhalti rahe.." Famous and successful and satisfied. Much talked about amongst people (positively ofcourse) is also on the list.

15. WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU SEE THE PERSON YOU LIKE?

Hum tum- Hum tum. "Saanson ko saanson me dhalne do zara, dheemi si dhadkan ko badhne do zara, lamhon ki guzarish hai yeh paas aa jaye, hum tum... aankhon me humko utarne do zara, baahon me humko pighalne do zara, lamhon ki guzarish hai yeh paas aaye zara.." Isn't it self explanatory? Lolz.

16. WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU?

Khuda jaane- Bachna ae hasino. "Sajde me yuhi jhukta hoon, tum pe hi aake rukta hoon, kya yeh sabko hota hai.. hum ko kya lena hai sabse, tum se hi sab baatein ab se, ban gaye ho tum meri dua.." I am very important to my parents, as much as they are to me. Only they matter, and what they think matters to me. Nothing more, nothing less.

17. WHAT WILL YOU DANCE TO AT YOUR WEDDING?

Jaane Kyon- Dostana. "Tu hai to tedi meri raahein, ulti pulti baatein, seethi lagti hai; tu hai to jhoote moote vaade, dushman ke iraade sachche lagte hai, dil me jo taare waare de jagah tu hi hai, jo rote rote de hasa tu hi hai, jaane kyon dil jaata hai, tu hai to i'll be all right.. saari duniya ek taraf ek taraf hain hum.." I hope the person i marry will be my best friend, around whom i'll be all right.. We both will make things all right for us.

18. WHAT WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL?

Kal ho na ho- Kal ho na ho. "Har ghadi badal rahi hai roop zindagi, chaon hai kabhi, kabhi hai dhoop zindagi, har pal yahan jee bhar jiyo, jo hai sama kal ho na ho..' Perfect song for perfect occassion. Live and Laugh, the life's too short to be taken seriously.

19. WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY/INTEREST?

Kahin to- Jaane tu ja jaane na. "Jaane na kahan woh duniya hai, jaane na woh hai ki ya nahi.." In short d-r-e-a-m-i-n-g.

20. WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST SECRET?

Phir dekhiye- Rock on. "Ankhon me jiske, koi to khwab hai, khush hai wahi jo thoda betaab hai, zindagi me koi aarzu kijiye, phir dekhiye.. hoonthon pe jiske koi to geet hai, wo haare bhi to uski hi jeet hai..." To confess i am the least carrer oriented and most carefree person you'll find around, but now maybe i have understood the value of some of the things that i used to take for granted earlier.

21. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR FRIENDS?

Nazrein milana- Jaane tu ya jaane na. "Dil kabhi ganda, kabhi hai ek banda, dil ka bharosa kaise koi kare; dil kabhi thanda, kabhi hai atom bomb sa, yeh dhamaka kaise koi sahe; dil ki yahi khata hai, dil ko nahi pata hai; ki dil chahta hai kya?" Firstly my friends are as bindaas as is the group in this movie, we totally care and value and respect each other... and are equally clueless about the world that looks at us. Touch wood!

22. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOURSELF?

Mausam- Kidnap. "Mausam yeh awesome bada, jadoo chha gaya.." I think this song describes the weather, and the weather here in blore is awesome most of the time. But where do i feature in the scheme of things? Maybe where i get happy seeing the awesome mausam, and put off by incessant rains or scorching sun..

23. WHAT WILL YOU NAME YOUR POST?

U, Me aur Hum- U, me aur hum. "I am kind of feeling incomplete in my heart, and we can never be apart; you make me feel complete bcz you are a part of me.." This song more suits ques. no. 15, but nonetheless i'll dedicate this song to my blog as well. Too good song by the way.

24. WHAT SONG ARE YOU? (I am repeating Azra's ques.. she tagged me after all..)

Tum ho to- Rock on. "Tum ho to, gaata hai dil; tum nahi to geet kahan; tum ho to sab haasil, tum nahi to kya hai yahan; tum ho to sapno ke jaisa hai haseen yeh samaa..." Main to apni favourite hoon. Period.

P.S. I did not cheat. Some songs really suited the ques but i am plain lucky in this matter i guess. The playlist is titled, MD Soft.

TAG: The saving grace of my blog.

02:08 04-09-2008
Ya.. since last night i could not sleep, and had nothing constructive to do, so here's my tag..

Yes.


3. If you were to be stranded on a deserted island, who are the 11 blog buddies you would take?

Firstly I dont have 11 blog friends. Secondly, I would like to take Reema along, who also happens to be my best friend and as we often joke about, "my alter ego." Also i would like to take Ashu along because she's fun to be with, and would very easily fit into our mad mad group!


4. Where is the place you want to go the most?
Well a lot of places to be frank, but to be precise and within a year, would be Kerela.


5. If you have one dream to come true, what would it be?
That I could understand what people are thinking about.

My clear conscience.


14. If you have faults, would you rather the people around you point out to you or would you rather they keep quiet?
Depends on the manner its spoken, and who speaks it. If the purpose is to correct me, then you are most welcome. If its to show off, sorry boss, i am not game for it.

Depends on who's paying.


16. Find a word to describe the person who tagged you.
Cute.


17. If you have a chance, which part of your character you would like to change?

18. What’s the last shocking thing you've seen or heard?
Lots. Can't reveal it in public though.


19. Would you rather have love but no money or money but no love?
Both love and money are equally important for me, but if i have to choose one day i'll choose my love over everything else. To be with the love of my life, i can move mountains. Honestly.


20. People I tag.
Got to be Reema.. She has not updated her blog since like centuries. I know we do things alike, but i update my blog atleast once a year. So darling, pull up yourself, no more excuses, and WRITE somthing for Heaven's sake.

RE -TAKE ON BUCKET LIST

Since a lot of people have commented on my tag being very cliched, and i have felt it so too, here's my review on 'The Eight Things I Want To Do Before I Die'... Actually this is the correct list, the earlier one was my attempt to be nice and politically correct, though as i can see it failed miserably. Maybe I am better off the way i am ie very naughty. So here it goes...

1. TRAVEL: I want to travel extensively, and to all d remotest parts of d world. But that does not exclude d popular destinations, yet i want to explore d world on my terms and not what d guide wants me to see. The best way will be to pack my bag n just head to where ever i feel like. No boundations whatsoever.

2. OWN A MANSION, AND A FANCY SPORTS CAR: Ya i want to own a mansion and zip in and out of it in a sports car, travel in a yatch and on private aeroplane ala our very own Mukesh Ambani. Not that all, i want the mansion to have acres of open space all around it (not a high rise mind you, but simple and spacious two storied modest building, full of maids n servants). Whenever i cum home, i want my pups (of all breeds, esp d ferocious ones) to run towards me and cuddle me and make me feel all wanted (remember d Reymonds ad... that was cute)

3. DATE THE MOST HANDSOME AND HOT GUY: Need i add more? Its so obvious... but i want to do it fast and before i turn 30.... cz i dont beleive in "ageing gracefully" or that 'life starts at 40' or somthng....

4. I WANT TO BE TALLER AND MORE BEAUTIFUL: Not that i complain and i m pretty happy with d way i m, bt i nt drop dead gorgeous n if i can be a lot more taller, hav a lot better skin n hair, then i dnt thnk it'll hurt. Also to date d hottest guy, i need to be hot too. Otherwise y wud he date me... or btr still i wudnt date cz of my inferiority complex.

5. TRY ADVENTURE SPORTS: I hav nvr been a sporty person in my life bt nw i really wanna liv on d edge n do all d crazy stuff dat ppl lyk to term as "adventure" ... some on d list include water sports, mountain n sky sports, mountaineering, trekking, et al.

6. GO SHOPPING: Not d way i go nw, bt like cmpltly crazzy n buy watevr my eyes can see. One day throw all inhibitions to d air, n jus go on retail therapy. Buy d costliest of brands of clothes, shoes, accessories, perfumes, chocolates, gifts n wat else n wat not.

7. BE THE C.E.O OF A COMPANY: Ya, as mentioned before i actually wanna head a company frm the front n be d MD of it as well.

8. FIND A MULTI BILLIONAIRE: Well this one is d most obvious of all... i need a multi billionaire person to fund all my dreams, desires n aspirations... cz if i try on my own, i'll b so old that only my sons wud b reaping d benefits, n dividing my empire after my death.

P.S. Dont mind the sms language... i dont have the patience to edit it.

TAGGED!!!!

Here i am doing my first tag... tagged by Ashu!!!! Thank u dear... this one's for you....
Though the things are not necessarily in any particular order....

EIGHT THINGS I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT

1) Chocolates and Coffee: I have a very major sweet tooth and can devour atleast five chocolate bars in a single go. Also from the beginning of this year I have developed a major attraction for coffee (me being such a big patron of tea, this is a major development in my life!!!) Now I can’t spend a single day without having my cuppa of coffee.
2) Teddy bears: I just love cuddling to teddy bears; sizes, shapes, colours, and make no bar. I already have a collection of three big and several small teddies. I know that’s a small collection considering my liking for it, but if you are the eldest child even in your extended family, you are touted as the most ‘mature’ and ‘responsible’ one… so living up to that image requires certain sacrifices on your part.
3) Sleeping, listening to music, reading novels: This should have been at number one but never mind… my days can easily be categorised in these three activities… they are the numero uno activities I indulge in ie in sleeping (I can beat the world record holder, touch wood), in listening to music (my dad often complains that my room looks like a pan corner because its always so dirty and always so noisy. If I am not doing anything else I am listening to radio.) And of course since childhood I have been a big reading buff. (I have read everything, from serious to crap fiction, poetry, dramas etc. all genres included, and not to forget newspapers and magazines.)
4) Talking on the phone: Man I have got stamina for this. I can go on and on and on and on…. For hours together. Therefore according to my mum, the best choice for my profession will be a call centre job.
5) Walking: I enjoy taking long walks in the park or just moving around aimlessly. That’s the best time of the day.
6) Meeting friends: Being an extrovert that I am, I enjoy going out, exploring new places and meeting new people. And yes my friends list includes not just my friends, but their friends’ n their friends as well.
7) Dancing: Generally people are bathroom singers, but I am a bathroom cum bedroom dancer ie I dance only when nobody’s watching me. It helps to relieve my stress.
8) Internet: My latest addiction ie internet. Since I am at home nowadays, doing nothing, I have started spending hours and hours on the net.


EIGHT THINGS TO DO BEFORE I DIE

1) Travel: I want to travel, not only to far off places, but also travel around India, especially Kerela, Pondicherry, Goa, Karnataka. (South India) I have this desire of witnessing the grandeur of pyramids before I finally close my eyes.
2) Buy a house and a car: I want to buy a swanky sports car and a modest house for myself, with my own earned money. But the house would be on a secluded island, and not in any metropolitan city.
3) Own a pet: I am a huge dog lover, and since the time I remember I have always wanted a pet for myself. So that’s the first thing I am going to do with my first salary… buy a pup.
4) Understand people: I seriously need to master the art of understanding people, their psyche and their mood swings. I have had so many fights with my friends on this topic (touch wood the fights could not change a thing between us).
5) Lead a satisfactory life: I may not be having every material thing, but if I have my peace of mind, I would consider myself lucky.
6) Lend my name to a noble social cause: Though I am not a big social activist, but the humanitarian part of me insists on doing something good for the underprivileged kids, maybe in the field of education.
7) Do something for which the world will remember me after my death: I want to be a successful entrepreneur, and lead the company from the front.
8) Always make the people happy: Actually all that I desire can be encapsulated in a single sentence ie I want to make people happy (not only my loved ones, but everybody…. I want to touch the heart of the people who have ever had anything remotely to do with me.)
Also I want to learn guitar n speak French ( did not add to the list because I am going to start doing these from this year onwards.)

EIGHT THINGS I OFTEN SAY

1) Hey wassupp? :: That’s how I greet everyone, may it be through messages, or mails or personally.
2) How can you irritate me so much? :: This line is reserved for my brother, and my very close friends only.
3) I did not mean to say this :: People often misinterpret me, so this is a oft repeated phrase in my vocabulary.
4) I am truly, sincerely sorry :: This line means I am actually sorry, otherwise I am just being sarcastic, nothing else.
5) Shoooooo :: Again reserved for my bro and very close friends, though said with a wink.
6) Ya ya… go on, jhooth pe tax thodi na lagta hai :: That’s when people praise or flirt with me.
7) Achha? Huh huh huh!!! :: This shows the intensity of my sentence.
8) Ohhhhhhhh :: Shows surprise in my vocab.


EIGHT BOOKS I READ RECENTLY

1) The monk who sold his Ferrari: Totally avoidable. Very high on philosophy, in short very boring!!! Some may like it, but I did’nt.
2) The life of Pi: Again did not like it. Some of the parts should have been edited and others needed better expression. The middle part was absolutely disgusting.
3) To kill a mocking bird: Absolutely, absolutely loved it. No two ways about it. I don’t think anybody can actually not like it. Have already read it over a dozen times. In a single word, brilliant!
4) The kite runner: Again loved it. Cried with it too. Absolutely heart rendering, simply fabulous. Plainly told, it made a huge impact. Could not help but think about it for several weeks after I read it.
5) A thousand splendid suns: Good but considering I read it directly after ‘The kite runner’, it could not held on its own. Extremely repetitive.
6) Men are from mars, women are from venus: Did not help me. Period. Instead had a huge fight with one of my friends. Cautionary Warning: If you had a fight and want to make up again, do not send any letters, mails or text messages. Simply pick up the phone and place the call.
7) Taslima Nasrin’s Lajja: Brilliant. But overhyped.
8) Next on my list are Lolita and Opel Mehta.


SONGS I CAN LISTEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN

1) Sabse peeche hum khade by Silk Route.
