Found him.....

Dear Blog,

Its bee ages since I wrote something on you….Truth be told..its been so long that I would be surprised if you’d even remember who I am! I’ve just never felt the urge to sit n write something…I sometimes feel that it’s a worthless exercise! Bu then there are times that I get these guilt pangs that I haven’t updated u in more than a month. A lot has happened in my life…most of it you know already!

From the days of nervousness to today (the days of happiness)….I’ve had a helluva ride! And I’m glad the way things have turned out for me….I can only be thankful and hope that life gets better…..( it already is great…and u know why!)

[Mann…ur the reason…stand up and take a Bow…..]

Its been almost 2 yrs that I’ve known you M. Blog…..but do u know me well enough?? Just thought I’d introduce myself better…

  • I think Jim Davis was inspired by me when he created Garfield…. eat (big eater), sleep mmm the word makes me sleep!) and hate Mondays (worst day of the week!)!
  • I am not a chocolate fan…I have never bought or finished a bar of chocolate!
  • I have this extreme urge to be in the good books of everyone and in this process I end up trying too hard and getting stuck
  • I find it extremely hard to say a “no” to anyone!
  • I have this maniacal urge to have everyone around me smiling!
  • I was very conscious about my voice…I still find it too girly!
  • I make extremely yummy food…IF I want to…!
  • I am a self proclaimed introvert ………. I like it this way!!!
  • I am a very slow reader…By the time I finish a novel, you’d probably have be a 170 yrs old!!
  • I like sleeping... coz i like dreaming abt u know who
  • I have oodles of patience which I loose very often:D
  • I never had a cell phone until I was outta my college. I bought a 2100 for 7 grands (my first phone) & the N 70 for 19 grands both from my own salaries.
  • I lock myself up and play music really loud music on my comp when I get angry…. I love fiddling with my phone when I am angry and that’s how I learn to use it.
  • I love watching the Amazing race…I think the entire concept is a lot of fun!
  • I hate…absolutely hate getting on the weighing scale! It scares me..
  • I love mangoes….n litchis….n grapes…n oranges….n Chicken Mcgrill burger yummm!
  • I am 26 and I love animated movie flicks!! Ice age is my favourite…:)
  • My jogging shoes are Canadian worth $100. Extremely comfy!
  • I DO NOT snore when I sleep!! (Mann thinks that I do…I refuse to accept it….)
  • I have a yellow tiffin box with bunnies on it..and another with one with mickey, pluto n Minnie on it (cant find it any more :-( ) which i still love as much as i did when i was actually 7..
  • I hate being woken up…except if its Mann waking me up
  • I think I have weird hair….but atleast I have hair….am losing the lil that I have left…I wish I’d have them left before I get married.
  • I love watching TV…even if nothing is on…it fascinates me no ends!
  • I had a Citibank credit card when I was merely 18!!
  • I’ve been to all the states in India except Tripura, Orrisa n Kerela. I love traveling around. P.s - Mann….can we please keep traveling?
  • I hate the noise that comes out when u rub ur hand on a balloon!
  • I am extremely scared of rides. The only one time I was able to sit on one was with the person I trust the most and of all the people on the ride, I squealed the most.
  • I learnt to ride a bicycle coz my mom bribed me with jalebis!
  • I learnt to drive a car when I was 15…I’ve had only one accident till date! Touch wood!
  • I am scared to decide…but once I do I stick by it!

I know this is very rusty, but I am writing after a longtime…the only way to go from here is up! Coz now….is not forever!!

hey!!! baby's back!!! hugs!!! first off... WHAT CRAP!!! this is not scratchy!!! and im going to keep pushing you to keep updating this blog regularly now... and you know how good i am with nagging... :P and puh-lease!!! do not make me sound like an angel... i keep you on your toes all the time... but am so glad you finally wrote!!! and am so happy to see you here... you can crib all you want, i know you enjoy writing...

ok lets see... Jim Davis created garfield because of you is true... its also true that jerry the mouse was created because of me... you n i have no. 2 in common except when it comes to chocolate cake... i cannot resist chocolate cake...and no. 3,4 and 5 are so true, tanuj... your univ. people, your carpool thing... gosh... i do not know why you do it or how you do it... GANDHI KA CHELA... :P but i love your voice... so i dont know why you complain... :( no. 6 i've never tried food that you've cooked... but aunty vouched for you :P 7 and 8 i've seen for myself... and i know you like sleeping so you can dream of chicken... :P hai na, hai na? and please... rohit, vikram and all of your other friends will agree that you have a lot of patience period... i mean come on!!! anyone who can tolerate MOI is a saint... :P my first fone was a nokia 1108... when i was 14... then it was a 2600... and then a 6670 and now an N70 (M)... and i didnt pay for any of them so i am so proud of you for doing that... and i just go quiet when i get angry or upset... lolz... who would know this better than you :P amazing race is fun... magar survivor was so cool... and apprentice is good a well... i watched on the lot today and that seemed really nice... i hate weighing scales as well... i think they should be outlawed :( and while chicken mcGrill is good, i prefer the zinger burger :P and none of them are helping matters as far the weighing scales are concerned :P and im nt a very big fan of animation flicks... i like a few of them... i prefer these myth-based films like pirates... and you have imported shoes??? :P you never told me!!! :O and you do snore when you sleep... dad agrees... and the next time i catch you napping on the phone i shall record it... and that tiffin box was the prettiest thing i've ever seen!!! and come on - do not say things like "i hate waking up". how are we supposed to travel if you hate waking up? and how am i supposed to win my bet with rohit? oh and by the way... we nneed to revisit a lot of those places... because ive only ever been to rajasthan, delhi, sikkim and goa :P and you have nice hair!!! it looks so cute when you mess it up :P and shut up... you are not going bald... and even if you are - how does it make a difference? :P and your going to have to cut down on the tv thing... im not a big fan and it isnt good for your yes either... (gosh! i sound like dadi :O) and im 18 and i dont even have an ATM card to my name :P im waiting though... because i should hopefully have two debit cards (HDFC & ICICI) in another month or so... fingers crossed :P im terrified of baloons... im afraid they'll burst and take a chunk out of my face... a phobia of sorts... :( and the ride was fun!!! you enjoyed it... :P you were squealing like a girl... tee hee... and i learnt to ride a bicycle because i wanted to brag about my sratches and cuts with my brothers as well... i ended up being the object of envy because i ended up breaking my hand when i rammed into a wall after tackling a rather steep slope... the breaks were so bad... :P and im terrified of cars (i'll end up getting a scratch on it and my dad'll disown me) and bikes (i dont want to break any more bones)... and i am very stubborn... and dont you know it? :P this post happens to be one of the results of that stubborness...

TAG COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY :P
