Complexities Vs Simplicities ... of the mind!

I haven't got much to say and thats simply coz my life these days is very uninteresting and uneventful...the only thing keepin it from being totally bland is last minute shopping and packing with color coded lists et all {I'm offically the packin person in the family and no prizes for guessin I make lists for everything possible, just color coded em so that Mum knows wheres what ;) } ...all this for Mum who's flyin to the US thursday mornin for a month long vacation with two of my maasis :D They stop at Heathrow while goin and Charles De Gaulle while coming back, I'm sure its gonna be a great experience for all three of em :) Dad and I are gonna be fine but I sure will miss waking up in the afternoon {my new morning :P} and goin Mum coffeee ... black! Not just that, I'll miss mum for more than that, for irritatin me so much, for sneakin me money for stuff that we wanna buy but don't wanna tell Dad abt :P, for always dealing with my fuss over food... Oh and high...

This one is courtesy Pri . Very simple rules, I'm supposed to reveal all thats in my handbag right at this moment, so here goes... My wallet, uske contents list out karne ke liye ek alag post chahiye :P My shades in a pink case My mauve colored comb Two black clutchers (one very small) Black banana clip Fruity Vanilla lip butter from Fabindia (love it, a gift from Tanuj) Small bottle green colored hairbrush with a mirror at the back A pack of Fresh Ones My small diary in which i note all my money calculations Vaseline lip care My cellphone earphones Spare house key A pair of silver tic tacs a white hair pin kinda clip and a dark brown barettee Extra rubberbands one black pen, two blue pens and one mech pencil an eraser i bought last thursday, haven't yet transferred it to my pencil pouch Three lipglosses from TEN beauty (chic, fab and glam) two liquid shine lipglosses from maybelline (rhinestone pink and clear cut diamond) - I hardly use any other than the lip butter but I stil...

Thats today ... Eight O Eight ie 8th August. Some of you might remember what day it is today, for those of you who don't read history here :) Happy Yellow Flower Anniversary ppl !!! :D Okay there is not much that I will do today for celebration except wearing yellow and wishing ppl. I just wished him and all of you. But I thought this is the best occasion to take up a long pending tag... the 8 things tag . There are 8 flowers each with 8 petals in the picture, you get the connection don't u? ;) I was tagged (honestly I don't remember when) by Pri , Solitaire , Sam and Ashu so without much ado here I go : Eight things I am passionate about Staying Happy The people I love so dearly Music My ongoing romance with life Doin things that make ppl around me happy, I love making them smile The work that interests me Readin and writing (basically expressing myself) My Blog Eight things I want to do before I die Constantly try and finish up my small and big TDLs, more simply ge...

As the title suggests this is one of my dreams which I see with my eyes wide open… I was tagged by Maverick long long ago and I thought this could be used as an answer to his “ Reveal your dream ” tag. Even though I dream a lot, I managed to say this out loud only days ago pretty much to my surprise as well :) We were talking about one of his friends getting married and that’s how I ended up talking so much. Well just so you know, I wouldn't mind marrying an undergraduate… Wouldn't mind stayin in Mumbai… Would even learn to talk in Marathi, thodi bahut kaam chalau types till I learn the entire language… Wouldn't mind cooking for you… Wouldn't mind wearing a saree a lot more often than I had planned on... just coz you like it :) … And honey you won’t have to worry about your backache…I'll be there to rub iodex on it. Will iron and give you your clothes every morning… Roz chai banaungi...main chai acchi banati hoon :), haan aur kabhi kabhi coffee bhi banaungi… Will r...

Yeah yeah don’t look at me like that… what can I do if I had so many tags pending… Jaggu tagged me to write 8 random facts about myself and then later Solitaire and Badshah Khan both tagged me to do 7 random facts so well i'm writing 8 :P here goes : 1. I hate washing my hair with bucket water using the mug, I have to have running water or a shower to wash my hair. 2. I’m very choosy about the food that I eat, and the combinations as well… alu puri khaani hai, not tari waale alu with roti and more of the kind. 3. Am a total stationery freak, love buying new pens and notebooks etc…makes me very happy :). Oh yeah I hate using pen on my books, always use pencil and I freak out if someone else writes using pen on any of my books or fair notebooks. 4. I have no knowledge about any kinda make up {the only thing I use is gloss} and I do not like goin to the parlour. 5. I cannot do the “hum aap” lingo…just not me! 6. I have the tendency to correct {politely of course} grammatical/spell...

This post was typed on my phone earlier in the day, is making its way to my blog now! I got tagged by Solitaire first and later Pri to write 6 random things about the moment that I was living in, I chose 9:20am this morning (12th March 08), so here goes... I'm sitting on the metro floor quite unlike myself...absolutely silent. I wish I didn't have to go to college today. The sky outside is a brilliant color...reminds me of how badly i need a break. It's very irksome that some of my friends are paying no heed to the fact that eatin is not allowed on the train. I might not get my prac attendance after all...the only reason why I literally dragged myself outta bed this morning...life just couldn't get any better! I'm really missin you...I can't deal with this anymore...I need you now. Another lil something I scribbled today... 12th March 08 5:45pm Silent suffering is what I'm goin through... Harder than I thought it would be... The harsh reality is unpalatabl...

Okay yeah I know day 5 came pretty late but atleast its here, Thanks for all the energy Zahid. ;) I was tagged by Akila to complete “Life would be different if…” and this is what I have to say after an immense amount of thought. Well any drastic change in my own self, like a change of who I am or what I am would have been an easy answer to this tag but what I sincerely wanna change is the way people are taken for granted. I’ve done it too, subconsciously most of the times but still done it. Have been on the receiving end quite a few times too. On realizing I have had to consciously put in an effort to make amends…but unfortunately sometimes the situation is beyond repair. Ask yourself, don’t you believe it to be a given that your best friend, your companion or any other relationship which is so dear to you is always gonna be by your side whenever you choose to turn and check? Recently when I turned to check, it was gone! [:O] That’s why I think my life would have been different had I...

I was tagged by Lena for this one... Rules: I thought it would be cool to have a meme where we post links. We can post up to five. Then we tell five more people to share their links. If we all share who tagged us, our links are sure to be seen! ) They can be business links, favorite sites, affiliate links, whatever you want… There are Five Rules: 1. MUST be clean. No R rated sites. 2. Only FIVE links. 3. MUST tell 5 people. 4. A link back to the person who tagged you ;) 5. Lara's Place is the meme originator. ;) (an active link is appreciated) 1. Uhmm well this one is the first thing i open on my computer...my connection to everything/everyone else on the internet...no prizes for guessing: Gmail actually Google is truly my best friend, google is a verb in my dictionary and i use it loads of times for almost everthing. 2. This one is fairly new and i won't be lying if i say that i got hooked on to it courtesy Bubbles... deviantART has just the most wonderful collection of i...

Hmmm this time i was tagged by three people for the same thing. Pri , Badshah Khan and Divya tagged me for the 20 question tag but since the total number of questions exceeded 20, i'm modifying the rules a bit to read: Remove 1 question from below, and add in your personal question, make it a total of 25 questions,then tag 8 people in your list, list them out at the end of this post. Notify them in their chat box that he/she has been tagged. Here goes nothing... 1) Who are the most & most important persons you'd like to meet in your life? As of now I'll name just one...Bonnie 2) If you have the chance, what would you probably say to your beloved one? Well don't you always have the chance?, anyways I'd just say "I love you" again :P 3) If you were to be stranded on a deserted island, who are the 3 blog buddies you would take with you? This is easy...Mann, Bonnie and Cheri :) 4) Where is the place that you want to go the most? At the moment, there are ...

After a whole lotta stuff that’s gone non documented…my exams, my knee getting hurt, my result, my computer zonking off and some stuff I don’t wanna talk about…I’m finally back and up to date (I’ve read up everything I missed on my blogroll). This is when I announce the beginning of Tag Week on my blog… Day 1 begins with 10 things I dislike about Martians , something that Pri tagged me to do… Rules : (i) Write 10 things you hate [I’m modifying this to dislike] about the opposite sex (ii) At the end of the tag, tag 5 random bloggers to take up the tag Disclaimer : This is strictly based on my first hand experience with guys in my life. The first and foremost is the fact that they’re extremely forgetful, also they don’t take the unconventional route. I mean how many times have I gone that extra mile to plan and pull off a surprise on one of my guy friends, and all I get on my birthday is a “Happy Birthday!” They don’t share as much, especially when they’re low they’ll keep it all b...

Mads had tagged me what seems like centuries ago, but i guess i was too occupied to have had the time to do the middle name tag before now... The Rules: 1. Players, you must list one fact that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of your middle name. If you don’t have a middle name, use the middle name you would have liked to have had. 2. When you are tagged you need to write your own blog-post containing your own middle name game facts. 3. At the end of your blog-post, you need to choose one person for each letter of your middle name to tag. 4. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling the persons you have tagged that they’re tagged. I don't really have a middle name so im just gonna use my popular nick : 'Vands' V ery Organized : Yup thats totally me...facts to corroborate - My friends at school always knew me to be well equipped all the time, so if u had to borrow a stapler, glue, scissors, highlighters, colored pens, felt pens; all u had to do was ask V...

A simple tag which i picked up from Mann ... 1. Name one person who made you laugh last night? Nobody but somebody did make me smile though. :) 2. What were you doing at 0800? Tryin my best not to get up....snoozing for the third time :P 3. What were you doing 30 minutes ago? Counting Java chapters in my Sylabbus. 4. What happened to you in 2006? Met almost all the people who make up my life now! :) 5. What was the last thing you said out loud? "11 12 13 14 15 .... 22 23 24" when i was countin the Java chapters :P 6. How many beverages did you have today? Water. 7. What color is your hairbrush? Dark Green… 8. What was the last thing you paid for? Cycle Rickshaw yesterday. 9. Where were you last night? In my bed. 10. What color is your front door? Off White. 11. Where do you keep your change? In a lil zip in my wallet. 12. What’s the weather like today? Bright and sunny...with just a lil wind. 13. What’s the best ice-cream flavor? Peppermint BonBon. 14. What excites you? Music...

To be honest I was very apprehensive about doing this tag…coz I was sure I won’t be able to stand ground in front of Mann who so beautifully executed this one and tagged me to take it up. But I promised her I’d do it so after thinking quite a bit, the three things that I wouldn’t be able to live without are… Colors The black of the nights. The bright orange of the setting sun. {I never get to see it rise…lol} The vivid hues of the roses and sunflowers and bougainvilleas and marigolds and orchids and gladiolas. The absolutely soothing green of the fresh leaves. The colors of the book covers. The white of icecream and the clouds. The brown of chocolate, coffee and soil. The blue of the expansive sky. The pink of my cheeks and lips. :) The black of the eyes I gaze into. The gold of the diary milk wrapper foils. The blue of ink in my pens. My life basically has to be Eastman Color, I can’t survive in a Black & White world. Music Ok this is easy to reason. Every song I know has a teens...

Okay so I'm late but since CM-Chap invited anyone who read to do this tag, I thought I'd take it up. Here come ny answers... 1. Pick out a scar you have, and explain how you got it? Scar?? :-? Actually i do have a lil burn someplace i dont wanna tell u ppl... but the point is i don't really remember how i got it, I think it must have been one of those accidents with the iron when i was a lil kid. 2. What does your phone look like? Umm its looks pretty much like a normal Sony Ericsson W700i in Titanium Gold...but my fav part of my phone is the mobile hanging... its Gini now. U can have a look at it in my post Giggles Galore :) 3. What is on the walls of your bedroom? Okay we'll go in order...on the wall right in front of me is a painting of a colorful flower arrangement {painted by my maasi i guess} and right below it is a hanging mirror. The wall on my right has a nib painting of two birds on a branch {made by yours truly :)}, next to it is the huge collage i made with...

This time Bonnie came up with the idea that we tag each other while we were playin the "One word game" {another one of my smart ideas ... lol} She tagged me to write 35 [:O] wierd unknown facts about myself. Well before I get down to this task, lemme explain that this is as difficult (if not more) as finding a needle in a haystack and why if you may ask...simply because I'm an open book to most of my friends and as for ppl who don't know me, unke liye kya known aur kya unknown...hai ki nahin? Chalo enough explanation done...I'm gonna get to work...here comes the list: One last thing, these are in no particular order just wrote as they came to mind My favorite color is bottle green and I flash my best smile whenever I come across that exact shade of the color palette in the form of anything. I am quite like the sand, meaning it doesn't take me much time to calm down after a huge row or after loosing my temper which happens very rarely. [The sand heats up and co...

Well Bonnie and I came up with this from amidst nowhere.....Actually it was her idea and I dug it. Like she says ppl don't like writing about themselves....for me its quite the opposite. I can write about what I think all I want but to think about what I have to write is pretty much a different ball game. But then I've been tagged so here goes :- 5 things I say most often : lol kamaal hai how sweet how dumb oh lord! 5 things I can do : Listen to music 24*7 .... i mean this i never get bored of listenin to songs, be it my comp or the radio.... "doorieeee sahi jaaye naa ....;) " Procrastinate doin stuff that doesn't interest me ... for instance studyin a particular subject or cleanin up my closet or other boring tasks/chores. Giggle at the silliest of things and have the most nonsensical convos with my frnds.... oh ya even crack a wisecrack once a while......hehee Waste time.........oh boy u really can't beat me on this one, i'll be gettin bored to death but...
