'If you're happy and you know it clap your hands'- So now I cant even clap my hands?!

Have u even felt like an idiot who has a perfect fun-filled vacation to look forward to, wonderful relatives who are gonna make your New Year amazing, and still not feel like going?
Join the club, my friend, join the club!!

So, what exactly MADE my unhappy??
School was awesome today, exceptionally awesome in fact! Yashwi is off to Calcutta, Pallavi was absent, so it was just me and Varshaa! It has been a whole, lets see, three years since we had that varsha-shambhavi-together-in-class thing!! And I had no idea I was even missing it, until today!! :)
I had soo much fun!! I love her sooo damn much :D
Varsha, Ratnam, Anchit and me played Name Place Animal Thing..I played that game positively after ages!! And it was as time-pass-ic as ever!! :P
We cheated, invented places like 'Potliganj' and 'Foolpur'..and I kept swearing to God I saw that place on the way to my village!! :) :)
Came back home, saw How I met your mother..I can never get over how geekishly handsome Ted is!! Or how awesomly legendary Barney is!
I was APALLED when I found out Neil Patrick is actually GAY!! I mean the guy who plays Stinson, the EPITOME of being a casanova, a full-on ladkibaaz, is actually into guys?!? And he is MARRIED! And planning to adopt a child..I am not against homosexuality or anything (its actually a boon in disguise, what with all the population control propoganda) but still..its super SUPER weird!!
Okay, so back to the story, Star World being a sweetheart, aired Friends next..which is indubitably the BEST SHOW EVER!! It was the episode where 'Amanda the britain return' meets Phoebe and Monica, and Mon finds out Phoebe, at a point of time, wanted to cut her out of her life, and the whole Joey-Rachel-unable-to-have-sex and the Ross being stupid enough to get eight twos when he wants to get spray-tanned :D I love it!! Especially when Joey says 'Maybe Mon and Chandler were able to be more than friends cause they weren't as good friends as we are' I always go awwwww.. :)
THEN I saw Two and a Half men, a complete episode for the first episode..and turns out its pretty great!! Although Charlie is sooo mean!!
How can u manage being mean and adorable at the same time?
And his brother, whose name I cant remember is sooo CUTE!

So anyways I was very very happy in general, I had Dairy Milk Silk, when suddenly mum tells me our Jaipur plan MAY be cancelled..I am like NOO!!!! Due to some SC riots, trains are being cancelled!!
And then, I dunno WHAT happens, I talk to Mauli, she says she isnt coming, and all of a sudden I dont wanna go..I KNOW if I dont go I am gonna spend New Year in Benares Club, which has never been appealing, but is suddenly a verry appealing idea, and I have this sudden urge to spend NY with friends!!

This has soo much to do with Lola, the bitch (literally..she is a she-dog :P) maasi just bought!! So she's a Pitbull (I think) and she's supposed to be tiny till ants wear pants!
But she bit, BIT a German Shepheard!!!!!!
I mean, what am I compared to a GS?!!
I am already shit-scared of dogs, and now this!!!

WHY do all my relatives HAVE to buy dogs?! Why cant they all be like mumma who doesnt like 'em at all??

I was sooo excited, and now.. :(
I am hoping once I am inside the train (another thing which always turns me off..I hate train journeys..I can never sleep cause I once saw this movie where the child's aunt leaves him while he's sleeping in the train, and then he has to become a gunda!! :o I KNOW nothing like that's gonna happen with me, but I cant shake away that ominous feeling that engulfs me once I am in the train!) I will be excited again!

Even as I am typing, I am thinking of New Year in Jaipur, and its gonna be awesome!
Also, some friend of my relatives is also coming..who has kids..who are boys..who are my age..maybe it WILL be fun!!! :P :P
LOL, that was a BAD one!!

But seriously, I dont know what to wish, that the trains ARE cancelled, or not!
I NEED to talk to Varsha/Mauli NOW!!!!!

More later!!
Keep spreading the joy :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

HOW DESULTORY CAN YOU GET??
I'll tell you..you write a whole blog (longer than Yash Singh's amazingly long tie :P) and you WRITE about Saturday being Christmas..and yet..YET, you do not wish people Christmas!! (I posted For lack for a better name Pt. II half an hour ago) Seriously..I am an idiot!!

Okay, I wish you a merry Christmas! I wish you a Merry Christmas!! I wish you a Merry Christmas..and an AWESOME new year..and an AWESOME new year (and the chorus singers whisper 'in advance' which you're supposed to hear vaguely, so you know the New Year greetings are in advance, but it doesn't completely spoil the mood)
And now that I've started writing, I am compelled to keep writing!
So what did I do for Christmas??
Its embarrassing..but here's what I REALLY did, since I've learnt honesty is the best policy! And ofcourse, since u cant always follow it, best to follow it whenever you can ;)
So here's the 411: I got up, lazed around, lazed around, lazed around (which constitutes reading TOI..I am an avid newspaper reader, which for some reason people usually find hard to grasp..lots of watching TV, irritating Mum, calling up friends), and then I was hooked online, and since then I've been surfing. Once I am online, all my chance of doing something 'productive' goes down the drain! I can almost hear the 'whooshing' of it, really! And what do I plan to do after this??? Go to YouTube, laze around some more, or maybe go to my Nani's place (which sounds more appealing, but I am less likely to do cause I had a fight with Mauli last night..whats new, u ask?!) and then, watch the Singing Superstar Grand Finale!!!! :P
When u have a mother who's seriously strict when it comes to sleeping at the right time on school nights, you have to pretend to be very interested in shows they air on Friday nights, so u can at least be awake till 11:30 (SHARP) one school night..
And in the process, u start genuinely liking 'em.. At least thats what happened with me!!
I am supporting Kamal, and I am gonna kill someone if he doesnt win!! Who?? I have a lot of people on my hit-list :)

Plus, I soo wanna watch the Aakhri Salaam of the BEAUTIFUL, SEXY, OH-SO-GORGEOUS Veena Malik!! A confession: She used to be one of my favorite contestants, the one on the TOP being Hrishant..he is soo amazing!! I can vaguely hear all of u guys saying 'I agree' Really..he played no politics, he was amazingly handsome, had a gorgeous body, and a VERY rare quality, that he had GOOD GRAMMAR!! :D

All of this opposed to all my other, older Christmases!! I still vividly remember, when dutifully, every year on 24th I used to write a letter to Santa, and then in the later years, put them in a sock, and try with all my life to stay awake and catch Santa Clause giving me presents! And then, the moment I opened my eyes on 25th, I was momentarily disappointed at my inability to stay awake, which was instantaneously replaced with pure joy and excitement at what I'd be getting that year!!
I remember, when I was in 7th grade (YEAH!! I believed in Santa till I was in 6th..sue me..) at night on 24th, mum told me there's actually no Santa and that she'd been giving me gifts..that was the day I cried the MOST in my life..till date..
Umm, no, now that I think about it, second-most!! I bawled like a retard, which was ignited when mum started LAUGHING when I started crying!! My mum.. sigh!
That year, I robbed my parents :) That was the most extensive Christmas shopping I did!!
And this year, I am not even shopping..
I dont FEEL like it..maybe I ll do it in Jaipur!! The Pink city.. :)
And since I STILL have nothing better to do, lets make lists!!

I believe in Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and NOT in out of sight, out of mind! So..that leads to the following list:
People who aren't here and I really really wish I could celebrate Christmas with them:

• Bhaiyya..every day is a blast..damn I miss him so much!! Why isnt Varanasi Ahmedabad?? :P
• Yashwi..she must be having a BLAST with all those cousins in Calcutta *sigh*
• Munmun: She went TODAY! And I am already missing her..poor girl, spending Christmas in a CAR, going back to Anuppur..
• Chunmun: Ditto!
• Mauli: She's tantamount to not being here cause we aint talking! If we were, we'd do SOMETHING!!
• Rangoli di..living my dream, doing MBA in Pune (which reminds me..Kaushi is going for a trip to Pune via school..how cool is that??)
• Robert Pattinson..WHAT? He's not here, so he qualifies to be on this list :)

Thats about it I guess!! But I am not done!! Who doenst love recieving lots of gifts?? Here's a list of things I'D LOVE for Christmas!!!

• iPod touch. Do I need to describe ANYTHING here?
• iPad
• All those wonderful kurtis Deepika Padukone donned in Chor Bazari
• All those BEAUTIFUL kurtis Konkona Sen keeps wearing all the time..lucky gal..Varanasi sucks that way..I mean an AWESOME city like Varanasi should have FabIndia!!! :(
• LOTS OF CHOCOLATES!!!
• A boyfriend. Like Michael Moscovitz! (to all nescient people out there..Mia's love interest in Princess Diaries, the book) No less, and it would be idiotic to expect MORE, cause its not possible :) Tall, handsome, loyal, caring, funny, cute, intelligent, loving..what more can ANY girl want??

And the two possible gifts that I CAN get is Chocolates and an iPod touch IF I do well in exams..my parents are forever telling me to 'PADHAI KE HOURS INCREASE KARO BETAA!!!' And I say, I am writing a BOOK on the computer..it may be my future..if I stop practicing..what'd I do?? ;)

So here's wishing you a merry christmas..hoping you're not having a shitty christmas like me!!

We're not even going to the Christmas part in the club..what the hell?? :x Not that I love going to benares club, I kinda DONT like it for some reason, but still, something's better than nothing na??

Oh, and like I say, keep praying that terrorists die in terrible, horrifying, unimaginably scandalizing ways, and that poverty is eradicated..cause while I am sitting here cribbing about a shitty Christmas, there are people who dont know how to spell Christmas. Worse, what Christmas IS!! Shit, I wont get into that, I dont want my mood to be shittier than it already is..

On that happy note (:P) I'll take your leave!!! HAPPY CHRISTMAS PEOPLE!!!! =D

On an ending note, I'd like to share a video that made Christmas a little less shittier for me!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jc3wY862Wbs

Notice the way 'Superstar' Rajni plays Tabla on his head..priceless, that is :)

For lack of a better name Pt II

I think my muse hasn't really deserted me this time, its decided to leave me forever!! Me..ME?? Doesnt it remember how much fun we had out here?? Evidently not..
I can see us holding hands..walking on the beach our toes in the sand..I can see us in the countryside, sitting on the grass laying side by side..

Ahh, okay, enough nautanki for one day-one post rather! So turns out chocolates are awesome! I mean even chocolates u have never heard of, chocolates which u find in a orange crumpled polybag, which aren't Nestle, or Cadbury, or Swiss or French..they are from some other planet u haven't heard of, but they're truly awesome! So in the last fifteeen minutes I had your typical Perks, Five Stars, and THEN I had Picadeli's RICCO (which totally looks like a Rin packet- I swear, I was like..what the hell is a washing detergent doing in this packet?) and Picadeli's Combo, and I have this whole packet of eccentric chocolates with me, all of them probably as amazing as Ricco and Combo..NEVER, in my wildest dreams (okay there's nothing WILD about this) did I think I'd eat something which sounds more like homemade ilaichi packs (it does to me)
Hey!! I just peaked!! It has a BarOne too :)
There goes my resolve of putting a full stop to Junk food..why do I even try?? Its tantamount to that moment! THAT moment when you have your Socials exam next day, and you're mugging Geography and u promise yourself, next semester, I ll prepare MONTHS before they give us the exam schedule..I ll keep revising and learning along with the class syllabus..and then what happens? Time flies, and again you have your Socials exam, and you're again mugging History, and u promise yourself that you'll study, having totally forgotten that you made a similar promise last semester..
Why does everything thats delicious come with lots of calories??
Whyy??

When I think about all I've eaten in the past few weeks, I cant help but imagine myself turning into Dolly Bindra every passing second..I need to do something.. :o Empty words, you think??
As a matter of fact, I think so too!! :P

Anyways, another thing I've discovered during the last few days is, villages are as amazing in winters as they're despicable in summers!!

So Munmun and Chunmun asked me..okay, BEGGED me to go with them to this village near Ajamgarh..and I thought to myself..what will I miss if I do go?? And the answer that stared back at me IN MY FACE made my knees tremble with joy (okay, not really) i.e. SCHOOL!!!!!
I mean three days in a place fortunately unaffected by the urban population, beautiful in scenery AND in weather, with some of your favorite people on Earth, with lots of Cokes and chocolates and coffee and snacks, with oppurtunities like soaking your cousins wet with pipes, shouting and singing on top of your lungs along with your favorite singers, and in return getting 'are-there-people-absolutely-mental' looks from your maasi AND all fellow humans with the unfortunate luck of being in our way, eating some YUMMY desi chicken, pampered with all sorts of yummy mithaais and pedas as opposed to, well, SCHOOL!
I ask you..what would you choose??
That's a rhetorical question :)

I had SOO much fun!! Icing on the cake?? I come back on Friday, the fact that its CHRISTMAS the very next day having slipped my mind, with a desolate face and a McDonadls Choco-latera (or something like that..the name hasnt really registered in my mind yet, but its really yummy) ice-cream in one hand, books and CDs in the other, and I ask mum 'I am reallly tired!! PLEASE dont send me to school tomorrow!!' and she gives me a 'I-really-have-given-birth-to-one-of-the-most-dim-witted-and-dumb-humans' and says 'Its 25th tmrw!' and I am like 'AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH' So now, I had a Pizza hut delivery (we ordered stuff while comnig back..we are HAUKARS, like Yashwi and me call it, we eat like crazy) AND a happy night's sleep (well, gossiping really! What else do u expect from me and Munmun??) PLUS another happy night's sleep and THEN a non-weekly-test Monday!
I mean really, could life get any better??
But JUST when that thought flashed across your mind, something happens which makes u say 'Yes, it could be a hell lot better' So then, maasi had to leave this morning cause of some urgency, and I am left here with, well, a lot to do, and ALSO, I KNOW that we'll be meeting again on 28th, cause we're all celebrating New Year together in Jaipur, its just that I love these idiots so freaking much :)

If it wasn't for them, those IDIOTS who made me sit on merry-go-round after AGES in the club, I wouldn't have thrown up and cried like I did, after ages again, RIGHT THERE..Thank god, unlike I'd anticipated, no one I knew came to the club that day, which was THE FIRST TIME!! I wouldn't have missed meeting Yashwi on Friday, when she left for Calcutta, and all that last-time-before-vacation stuff we do!
But I still dont regret it!!

Seriously, its just three dayss to 28th..am I really that big a drama queen??
DONT ANSWER THAT!! =P

Judith McNaught..

..I love you!!! I seriously, SERIOUSLY love you!!

So today, out of nowhere, I suddenly felt like reading a romance..and, like I'd anticipated, I couldnt get around to finishing A Thousand Splendid Suns..it was just really weird and sad for my liking! I KNOW people have to LIVE that sort of stuff, but I'll just thank God I am not the one, and be content with the vague knowledge I have about this bizarre 15-year-old-getting-married-to-40-year olds!!

Of course, I ll finish it, some day..

Did u see how desultory I am yet?

Whatever, so yeah I was incited!! I felt like I'd DIE if I didnt read one!! Its like, I got up, brushed my teeth, changed and practically BEGGED mum to take me to Universal..she agreed :D

Came back with Remember When and Perfect, two AMAZZIING books by Judith McNaught! Of course, I haven't completed either..but the synopsis is enough for me to know that!

I started Remember When, and I am already in love with Cole :) The story is kinda similar to Paradise, another one by JM, but I still love it..cant get over all the cheeky quixotic stuff, not me! ;)



So the whole day I've been reading..and the when sudden guilt trips engulfed me, I had to go surf on Vehicular Pollution, the topic for this essay competition I took part in..now, weird thing is, I can totally jilt it and bunk tmrw, but for some bizarre reason I CANNOT bring myself do that..wonder why?

I seriously think something's really, really wrong with me sometimes, and it only took a phone call with Varsha to assure me and verify the fact that there IS! :D

Of course, the whole I-cant-bunk-tomorrow thing went hard with Varsha, who was headstrong that she would NOT come on Saturday, and I had Yashwi and Pallavi telling me 'VO NAHI AAYEGI..we've tried like crazy' Lets just say I have my ways.. ;)

IF she doesnt come tmrw, she's in for some SERIOUS cold reponse..I've mastered it over the years!!! :D



I cant believe its already 17th DECEMBER..ITS DECEMBER!! Is it just me or did the year really go by too fast?? It seems like yesterday I entered 9th grade! A whole summer-uniform period's gonee..this is totally catching me off-guard, even while writing this..

I'm gonna be in 10th next year, then 11th, 12th, COLLEGE, PG, WEDDING, CHILDREN, I'LL BE OLD, AND THEN I'LL DIE!!!!!!!

Woooaohh!

Lets just hope time doesnt FLY like it did this year!!



Another thing thats been eating me is, the school admin (EFF YOU) is hell-bent on seperating our group!! :/ All thanks to that BITCCH Vandita!! I dunno WHY Pallavi had to mock-kick her :(

Something tells me they're gonna change our sections..I just hope if they DO change it, I am transferred to sec E, or D, or in some extreme situation, B! Its just, maybe due to our class being closest to E and D position-wise, C, A and B are kinda alienated, they SEEM alienated classes..weird much?!!

I pray every night I do not get transferred to A, there, I will SUICIDE!!! It has all the geeks and..and..I dont even KNOW who're the students in that class..dear Lord, PLEASEEE!!



Then again, maybe they'll just keep me in F and transfer Varsha Yashwi Pallavi..but of course, I ll hate the class without them..we'll have to make do with some application..maybe I can write one about how the atmosphere of the class is partially responsible for the grades and progress of the student, and that its psychologically harmful to seperate me from my friends/? :P

LOL, that could totally work!! :D



Maybe I should go call Mauli..or read..or just do SOMETHING..like I always say, I am so bloody jobless!!! :P



Jobless reminds me, my two very much jobless, imbecile, annoying, infuriation, pain-in-the-ass cousins are coming tomorrow!!!!!!! I soooooo cannot wait!!!!!!!

MUNMUN!!

CHUNMUN!!

MAASI!!

Maybe I should just stick to reading Remember When and calling Mauli..that much of future planning is enough!! :P



Oh, and a song u HAVE to listen to- Butterfly: Take That

A/C to me, all the songs of A Lot Like Love are amaziing!!! :D

Oh, and Stairway to Heaven- Led Zepplin..I can never thank Yash enough for the song..its awesome (Barney Stinson style) Legen..wait for it..dary!!! :) Not to mention the lyrics are soo uplifting :)

More later.. :)

A Thousand Splendid Suns..

..is such a sad, SAD book! At least right now, in the beginning, it is!! I cant help but hate AND feel bad for Nana..weird much??
Seriously though, 15-year olds really do get married to guys their FATHER'S age!
And then she's uprooted and sent away to this far-off place when she hasnt been 2 kms away from home, ever!! I dont think I ll be able to go through the whole book..let's just hope she doesnt die, or endure worse (though its inevitable) in the later parts.. :(

On the brighter side, I had to go to this wedding today, and guess who I saw??? A Himess look-alike! Now, FYI, Himess is GOD!! Mauli and me LOOVE Himes (I hate how sarcasm doesnt transfer well over text *sigh*) so we went to him, all sweet n nice, and told him, uncle, you look like Himesh..he is our favorite..can we click some pictures?? And he was such a sweet guy, he's like 'theek hai beta' :D He made the otherwise more-boring-than-Tarun's-geography-class wedding endurable..and of course the babycorns too!!! Scrumptious!! :D

Oh, and its so damn COLD hereee!!!!! Teeth-chattering cold!!
I feel like making a list!

Top twenty books u SHOULD read:

• The Harry Potter books..u seriously dont know what life is, if u haven't read the HP books!
• The Twilight Saga: Be prepared to always be disappointed with all the guys in the world, cause no one can be Edward Cullen!
• The Princess Diaries series: ANYONE who loves writing, wants to be a princess, wants a perfect guy, HAS to read this book!! Michael is the closest deal you'll get if u want Edward..
• Where Rainbows End: Its the only book I've read 20 times in a period of four months. Not kidding. Every time u read it, u kinda start believing there's a touch of magic in loveee! People can confess their love when they're fifty too :D
• Wherever Nina lies: AMAZINNG mystery/love/drama/comedy!! Its a whole package..and has the most unpredictable ending!
• The Bartimaeous Trilogy: Sarcastic, funny, enthralling!! The only book where I couldnt form a opinion about who's the hero, who's the villain! Everyone has a cause, a right one, and the closest to 'the wrong thing' is exercised by the protagonist!! BRILLIANT stuff!
• Threads: Anyone who loves fashion would ADOREEEEEE this book..dreams do come true :)
• Does My Head Look Big in this?- Only an idiot wont feel like he can do anything, take over the world, and not give a shit about what others think after reading this book!!!!
• Whitney, My Love: The best historical romance I have ever read!! Totally proves: Hating MAY lead to love :)
• Someone to watch over me: Enthralling romance and an intriguing mystery..what more can u possibly ask from a book??
• The Inscrutable Americans: I never thought I could fall in love with a guy called GOPAL, whose grammar was about as good as Tarun, or worse, but I did!! :)
• Romancing Mr. Bridgerton: THE ONLY romantic book which has an ordinary-looking protagonist..a wallflower, really. Who said ordinary couldnt be beautiful??
• A Kingdom of Dreams: Quixotic!! =) The lion fell in love with the lamb..again..
• The Mediator series: Meg Cabot really comes with the most unusual ideas ever!! Turns out ghosts arent always scary, they may be scrumtiously handsome and sexy too! Oh, but most of the time, they ARE scary!
• An Instant Message of Wowness: One word and it describes it all, woww! :)
• The Boy Next Door: Cabot is a genius!! The whole book is in the form of emails =) Again, romance, mystery, drama, insecurity, vulgrarity, everything!! :D
• PS. I Love You: I cried the MOST in this book!!!!!!
• The House of Night series: Its an AMAZIING book, only lagging behind cause the protagonist the biggest slut I've seen in my entire life, and of course I had a thing for Erik, and they totally outcast him :x
• Love Story- Who doesnt love the most beautiful love story by Erich Segal?
• Oliver's Story- The sequel's great too! I especially fell in love with the last line
  'I asked myself, what would I be if Jenny was alive?
  And then I thought, I would also be alive!
  Beautiful, na??

Plus, I soooo wanna read Firelight by Sophie Jordan! Its not available in Universal, the only decent bookshop in Varanasi, which is SERIOUSLY a village when it comes to books. No offence, I LOVE Varanasi, but really..whats the point of bombarding the city with so many malls with McDonalds and Levis??! Cmon, u need to have a good bookshop!! God knows why the loserbags who run IP got Odyssey shut :(

On that note, gotta go read more of the splendid book I am on :)))

Again, dont forget to keep praying about terrorists dying and poverty eradication thingy...NOT to mention the assholes in my school thingie too!! :P

More later!

Strange and beautiful

I've been watching your world from afar
I've been trying to be where you are
I've been secretly falling apart..Unseen
To me, you're strange and you're beautiful
You'd be so perfect with me but you just
Cant see, you turn every head
But you dont see me
I'll put a spell on you
You fall asleep when I put a spell on you
And when I wake you, I'd be the first thing you see
And you'd realize that you love me

I know..beautiful right??
Am I an idiot or what! Okay, so I've heard two Aqualung songs..the first being Brighter than sunshine, which is damn AMAZING, easily one of the best songs I've heard as of yet..and the second being this!! :)
Every song I listen to by Aqualung, I instantly fall in love with it..shouldn't I be listening more to it??
Btw, Aqualung is NOT a band, though it totally sounds like one. Its this geeky-looking-pastel-faced-bespectacled guy who has the most tranquil voice I've ever heard, no kidding!
Too bad his voice and looks are inversely proportional to each other!! Sigh sigh, you cant have everything, can u??

Sooo..how long has it been since I was last here? About a month? I've just been so SO busyy! (I KNOW I HAVE TO FIND A NEW LINE. Every single post over here, HAS to have this line..'Birdie's been busy'- Hey..alliteration!) So ever since Diwali, bhaiya's been here, and I just do not get to sit on the PC so much when he's around, I dont even miss it!
He went yesterday!! :( I cried my eyeballs out..my eyes kinda resembled Voldemort's nose!! :o
Which reminds me, did u guys see Deathly Hallows?! Was it ONE AMAZING MOVIE!! I was prepared for the worst, what with making a total crap of Half-blood prince the movie! But thankfully, they decided to stick to the facts (umm, that ironic na?? When it comes to Harry Potter, nothing's really factual!! :P), and the movie was superbly brilliant!!! I went with friends, and what was great was, that bhaiya and his friends, and me and my friends made programs on the same day incidentally, so although we weren't sitting together, we kinda went together :)
Although Yashwi and Pallavi, with all their guffawing, and Vikas and Shashwat with all the expert comments, and Ratnam with all the cussing, totallyyyyy spoiled the mood, not to mention the sick Hindi dubbing, the movie managed to hold me (okay fine, I had to get up from where my friends were sitting and go sit with bhaiya. But ugh, those silly guards, if u go sit ABOVE where u were, they are by your side in a second..I had to go sit neeche..but it was worth it..there were these guys who were sitting next to my group who had to change seats too..I am telling you, you do NOT go watch a HP with people like Yashwii!)
I almost cried when Dobby died! Almost, but not quite, cause I already knew all that was gonna happen, having read the book a gazillion times (five-six :P)

So nowww, what am I looking forward to??? My cousins coming on 18th!!!! =D I canNOT wait to see Munmun!! Not to mention, she is bringing with her THE LORD OF THE RINGS!!! I've wanted to read this book ever since I discovered bhaiya's obsession with it, and then I Googled it, and then I started noticing it on TV, the many times it comes on WB!!
It was unsurprisingly unavailable in Varanasi, so I asked maasi to bring it from Gwalior (thats not where she lives though, thats where Munmun and Chunmun study..in Scindia) Cause I faintly remembered seeing it once in this awesome bookshop there, Wordsworth!!
Hum hum..let see..what else?? Oh YEAH! I AM SOO FREAKING HAPPY TODAY!!!
Okay call me a nerd, cause thats what I AM, I got a 14/14 and 7/7 in Socials :) :) Of course, Geography HAD to barge in and spoil it all with a 4 :P
But whatever, and then I am 100% sure I am getting a 30/30 in Maths, which is the FIRST time in three years!! I finally feel like Shambhavi the blue blazer once again!! :D
Seriously, maybe its infectious..cause I was wearing the blue blazer today..and suddenly my academic life was rocking!!!! I was acting so stupid today..everyone's like 'Stop boasting' 'Go away' 'Bitchhh' 'WEIRDO' :D And I was like 'BITEE MEE!!!! I LOVE LIFE!! I LOVE ASIF (maths teacher) I LOVEEEEEEE EVERYTHING' Hahahah :D :D
I'd totally forgotten how getting marks felt..it feels g-ood! :)

Enough for todayyy! I have to write some more..oh haan, I forgot to tell ya, I am writing a book which is untitled as of yet..which is gonna be about a girl called Yamini Kashyap (Yami), in 10th grade in DPS, in Varanasi of course..I figured, the only way I have of researching about other places is through the net, which is not practical, just informative! So its better to stick with what I am experiencing!! I am gonna take my experiences, my friends' lives, stupid rumors you hear every day, most of which are untrue, I am gonna take it ALL and put it in the book! But I ll twist n turn it..like, my experiences may be portrayed as some distant friend's, or some girl from school Yami doesnt talk to, only know, you know what I mean??
Man, am I excited!!!! :) :) :)

More later..
till then,
Keep praying at night that all terrorists DIE, and poverty is eradicated ASAP!
Oh, and also all assholes in my school come face to face with who they really are, not who they think they are..but then, thats virtually impossible right??? Doesn't hurt, anyway!
Mwaaahh!

For lack of a better name!

OK, so apparently, my muse has left me yet again..I couldn't care less when I have my other Muse, the band!! =D Dude, are they awesome!!! I've been listening to Muse incessantly, since the last few days!! Ultimate favorite HAS to be Neutron Star Collision (Love is Forever)!!
And God, its not gonna be one of those long posts!! I AM JUST SO LETHARGIC NOWADAYS!!

Hey, btw, did u guys check out the second part of Love the way you lie?? Brilliant stuff!! :) I am listening to it, right NOW!!
I am soo impulsive (and random..not to mention tired) today!! I was suddenly incited to write, and now nothing!!
Will just go..I really DO need to sleep..5 hours of sleeping evidently isn't doing me any good!! :o

Ciao!!!
Write in better spirits next time!! =)

The best week ever!!

Woahh..I haven't blogged in AGES!!

Reason? The usual..I have been very VERY busy..in a good way though..not the too-many-assignments-and-tests-and-homework-and-school stuff !! In the my-brother-is-back-and-so-is-my-cousin-sis-and-maasi-and-her-sweetest-lil-daughter-and-Diwali-and-cousin-sis's-bday way!! Confused?? =)

I had a rocking week!!!!!!!!!! So yesterday was Diwali..my favorite festival..all the light, sound, crackers (yeah, I wouldn't mind if they stopped bursting crackers but I am not totally SAY NO TO CRACKERS either..in fact, they undeniably add to the festivities) diyas, candles, rangolis..its all just SO beautiful!!

Bhaiyya's back!!!!! And so in Rangoli di!!!!! =) =) So me and bhaiyya made a beautiful rangoli (okay fine, I watched, he made..jeez u guys!) though mum didn't like it..bhaiyya went for mordern art and stuff..mum prefers the desi traditional stuff..so in the end it was a mixture of both, and surprisingly, it looked eccentric in a beautiful sort of way!! Yayy!! Then me, mum and bhaiyya decorated the whole house with candles!! Mum has this collection of pretty vessels and bowls kind of stuff..she fills them with water, then she suspends floating candles and rose petals..which looks beautiful (I am using this word a lot right??)..and then we went to my Nani's house, celebrated Rangoli di's b'day..came back with all the kinfolk to our house..had an AMAZING session of photography..then finally when we were eating dinner, bhaiyya's friends arrived..another photo session, and THEN the REAL CELEBRATION!!!!!!!!

Diwali in my appartment is always full-fledgedly celebrated!! So we have our whole group of like 10-12 friends..out of which me and Mauli never burst crackers..although I do buy 'em..out of, I dunno, I just feel like it..but next time, I won't! Mauli out of wish, but me, its an altogether different story! When I was a kid, I held the ignited part of a fuljhadi very tightly, and ever since I was turned off crackers!!
And then, after loitering here and there, screaming along with the crackers, and doing all sort of stupid stuff, I came back home and completed this book I am reading, 'The Amulet of Samarkand' which is WOW!! I loooved the book..can't wait to get my hands on the second and third parts!!! :)

Plus, the best (and worst) part?? I still haven't done any Diwali shopping! It's good because I have a shopping spree to look forward to!!

Oh, and Kumkum maasi went back to Jaipur today!! :( And inevitably, Rujul too..Rujul's her daughter, and the darling doll of ALL of us!! She really is the cutest lil thing ever!

Plus, I am reading this book called 'Does my head look big in this'..re-reading actually..But, the last time I read it I was like 11, so I dont really remember it properly! It's a good read..a book about a Muslim-palestenian teenager who's been brought up in Australia..she suddenly feels like wearing a hijab full-time..the book deals with her post-hijab experiences..a NAICE book! =D
I still have to complete Every Breath You Take and The Duke and I, I abandoned them halfway cause I was unable to find a hard copy..and reading on the computer gets downright boring after a while..

All in all, I am optimistic and happy in general, which isn't rare, but for the first time in the past few weeks!!

Plus, I dedicate this to Yashwi (who is never gonna read this, I know :/) because she's bedridden...during DIWALI! Which is just sad!

So gotta go now..I have to pester mum to make plans for Golmaal 3/ Action Replayy !!
Which reminds me, can't wait for Deathly Hallows 1 anymore!!!!!! I already have plans with friends (and classmates) it's gonna be soo much fun!! =D

Ciaoo!!!!!!!

Jobless and obsessed!

So turns out whenever I have absolutely NOTHING else to do, I blog!!

How inconsiderate is that??

Damn, why can I not be as regular as, umm, regular bloggers?? Where do they find it in themselves to blog the whole time?! Maybe I should stuff some money and call a finger massager!! ;)

So anyways, the new best thing in my life is Jonathan Stroud..come in front of me, and I ll wash your feet with my very hands!! I mean, seriously, how amazing can u get?? There should be a limit, you guys agree?

So all of u out there, who are nescient enough to not have heard of him..here's a list of things u should do, right NOW:

• Get a life!
• Google him, pronto!! Right now..stop reading!
• Rush to your nearest bookstore and get a copy of The Amulet of Samarkand, the first part of 'The Bartimaeous Triology', although its NOTHING compared to the second part (which I read today, and I was blown away alright!!) and third part, apparently!

Now that u've done all those things, cuddle up and brace yourself for an enthralling rollercoaster ride of magic, ruthless ambition and betrayal!! (Okay fine, I would probably never be employes as a synopsis writer. I know that, okay?) But its very much all that!!

So anyways..u must be wondering..what's she doing besides reading and loitering around?

As usual, nothing! Those two constitute the whole day for me!! :P No, really!

Although yesterday, me bhaiya and mum went for a short-distance long drive (IT MAKES SENSE TO ME!), I treated myself to yummiest bun-makkhan which is your average bread and butter sort of thing, only it tastes much, MUCH better, and ever better when you are out in the streets at 2 am with the people u love the most!! :)

Anyways, I was BORED with the zillions of I-ve-already-been-addicted-to-you-your-days-are-over songs..and I was in this, I dunno, complacent (for lack of a better word) state of mind, and I downloaded NO OTHER SONG!! Can u imagine??? So one day, after reading this really inspiring article I can recall not a single word of, I decided to ATTACK dilandau!!! Here's a list of songs that I downloaded, which were WORTH listening to (some were downright torturous..sorry, to my ears, once again!)

1. Heartbeat- Enrique Iglesias feat. Nicole (this is the Pussycat dolls singer, her last name is just too hard to memorize!)
2. Mine- Taylor Swift
3. Waiting for the end- Linkin Park
4. Stay with me- Akcent
5. Do you remember- Jay Sean
6. 2012 (It aint the end)- Jay Sean feat. Nicki Minaj
7. What's My Name- Drake feat. Rihanna
8. DJ Got Us Falling in love again- Usher feat. Pitbull
9. Bottoms Up- Trey Songz feat. Nicki Minaj
10. Just A Dream- Nelly
11. If I Die Young- The Band Perry
12. Please Dont Go- Mike Posner
13. Got Your Back- T.I. feat. Keri Hilson (for the record, I looove Keri..u rock, gal!)
14. Hot n' Cold- Katy Perry (I KNOW!! ITS OLD!! I'd heard of the song, I'd heard the chorus in The Ugly Truth as well, its just, well, for some reason I never listened to it. I dunno why I didn't!! Its the most AMAZING song!!)

Most of the songs aren't necessarily new! I dont really religiously follow the whole 'WHATS NEW?? WHICH SONG'S RELEASING?? DOWNLOAD RIGHT AWAY!!' thingie..I mean, of course, I am addicted to Vh1, so I vaguely do know whats up with music in the West, but otherwise, I just keep checking Top 40 when I feel like it..most of all, thing is, I am capable of obsessing over a song for a long, LONG time!

God, how I love writing about myself!! Which reminds me, I just saw this '100 Truths' thing on my online ex- bestie's FB profile..and since, u all know, I absolutely LOVE droning on about myself. Thats why I am so in love with Slam books..probably why I have zillions of 'em stacked up in concrete corners in cupboards! So anyways, here I fire off!!! =)

Movies

Sometimes (all the time) when I have nothing to do, I sit, and I imagine, and I end up ruminating about 'absolutely stupid' (like Mauli wisely said) stuff. Like..what would life be like, if we had no movies? Now..u see where I am going? Where would we go then, on romantic dates, hanging out with friends, bonding with distant cousins and relatives? What would we do on birthdays, vella-days, end of examinations??
I saw two movies today!

1. Tere Bin Laden: Intelligent. Really intelligent! I loved the whole ullu da pattha thing!! Ali Zafar is so adorable when he innocently picks up a dropped knife and walks over to the air-hostess, with ulterior motives of romancing her, only SHE thinks his ulterior motives are altogether in a different direction, and he's deported! Poor lad! He has to work in this really shitty "Danka" pakistani channel, with a shittier boss, and a fat but great friend! BF, I call it..B: Best/Belly! And Noore was amazingly dumb!!! I honestly thought they were all gonna die, and its not gonna be such a laugh anymore, but Noore-the idiot of a superman- saves the day! And their lives! Must-see!!!
2. Rajneeti: Now I'd been meaning to watch this, from like, an eternity or something, but I am too big a sloth to even bother searching for DVDs, when I downloaded it, something hindered the process and then I completely forgot about it.. Not to mention that Chotti saw it first day third show, and as soon as she came back, I RAN to her place and she told me the whole story, word by word, describing the places, dresses, hairstyles, expressions, EVERYTHING! So then I kinda lost interest! (Yeah, the DVD and downloading thing came later in the chronological order)..but today I was hooked on TV, so first I saw Tere bin laden, some Friends re-runs, VH1 Top Ten and then RAJNEETI! And although I knew the whole story beforehand, I loved the movie! Even though I had a hard time figuring out if I liked Ranbir's character more or Arjun's! I am die-hard Ranbir Kapoor fan, but for some recondite reason, I absolutely ADORED Prithvi. Plus, the movie totally engrosses u! I genuinely liked Katrina's character too, but I hated Sara Thompson! I didnt really understand the whole Mahabharatha thing, which mum kept pointing out ALL the time.. "Ohh...so Ranbir's playing Arjun..yeah..that justifies it..OHH..So he's Shakti mama (something like that)..and papa decided to watch it although he is not much of a guy who, well, watches movies..He was all cool with it initially because it was "his thing"..but soon he started criticizing EVERY bloody thing and I had a hard time asking him to (politely of course) leave the room or shut up. Seriously, if u watch even Dance India Dance with him, and its a romantic duet, he'll start all "Whats all this nautanki..whats wrong with today's gen..natak karte hai ye log..this is a circus (regarding hip-hop) so I prefer NOT having him around when I am actually watching something! :P

So that sums up my day! Plus, I stumbled across this website called LibraryThing which is REALLY cool..all you avid book freaks like me, try it!

I finished Where Rainbows End..its such a beautiful book!

And yeah, no brownie points there, I started another book, obviously! Every Breath You Take (Judith McNaught)..I'd actually started reading it before I started WRE, but then I kinda abandoned it midway because I am reading it on the computer, and hard copies I prefer ANYDAY (WRE= hard copy) So I am back on track..and its an amazing book..its mystery plus romance, what more could u ask for?

A song u should download, right NOW, is Running back- Jessica Mauboy ft. Flo Rida..I SO love it!

Confessions of a list-o-holic

Okay, I know I haven't been making much here, but I am a list-o-holic. I love making lists! It may be anything..from people I hate the most (believe me I have a LONG list)..to things that irritate me the most..to my favorite movies/shampoos to the most likely things that are sidetracked today but might be of vital use in the coming years (geeky much?)
So anyways I was bored, for a change, because all I have been doing in the Dussehra holidays (5 fricking awesome days!!) is reading, reading, reading, downloading but not watching movies because there's so much to watch on TV, hanging out with friends, SLEEPING and EATING!! Its amazing how much one has to do in holidays!! So much that I have had to ignore Yashwi/Kaushiki/Varsha's calls!! Really! Like I pick up and say "I ll call u back" but I never get around to it! I am COMPLETELY off-school that way!! Except of course thinking at night of new ways to kill my facking English teacher (she does NOT deserve to be called a teacher though..so lets just call her a wannabe something) VANDITA. What a bitch she is! Especially all the tut-tut sounds she makes, makes me wanna STRANGLE that ugly face of hers..I have heard she is a divorcee! I wouldnt normally say this, but I cant help but NOT feel sorry for her..I sympathize with her (ex) husband!!! Poor lad had to be married to a sickeningly infuriating idiotic bitch!!

Okay, so like I was trynna say, I got bored for a change and starting reading the Mr. Blog dearest when I suddenly thought "man! NO LISTS HERE! Is this my blog??" So as I am in a mood, plus there's 'Adhoore' from Break ke baad playing in the background, a new song I absolutely ADORE!! Woooww adhoore..tumm-mm adhoore..hu--umm adhoore, bin tumhare!!! :) So anyways here's a brigade of lists for ya'll !!! (Yeah, I am all Stevie Rae atm)

Twenty TV Characters I Love:

• Chandler (Friends): Sarcastic. Funny. Tall. Great smile. Loyal. Idiot. What more could you ask for? He can handle anything..handle is his middle name..actually, its the middle of his first name!! =D
• Joey (Friends): No one can be as adorably DUMB as Joey..or as cute! How you doin?? ;)
• Phoebe (Friends): Random and awesome..like me!! :D
• Barney (How I Met Your Mother): A smarter version of Joey..who's a total IDIOT (Yes, I am talking Robin!!)
• Lily (Hannah Montana): Skater boy..um what? Thats OLD! Skater girl!!! :)
• Ted (How I Met Your Mother): Geekishly handsome and ADORABLE!
• Marshall (How I Met Your Mother): I wish they allowed him to SUIT-UP!! He is marshmallow cute!
• Ethan Craft (Lizzie McGuire): My first TV crush!!! Tall, dark (okay not dark..FAIR) and handsome! And dumb, but then again..nobody's perfect..and he is definitely not a 'Nobody' He is the most popular and sought-after guy!! :D
• Monica: Persnickety..just like my mother..thats why I looove her!! I wish she would come clean my drawers and cupboards..since mum is practically Monica, I have to keep my room clean, which means the bed and study table and floor..which leads to an absolute MESS in the drawers..I have to search for hours before I find something I need..really!
• Drake (Drake and Josh): I love him. That's that! And I hated Miranda from the bottom of my heart. Not to mention all his girlfriends!! ;)

God I am tired!! More lists tomorrow (empty words u think??? We'll see...)

Good night Blog!! I dont have energy left for YOU to speak and me to listen, later!!!!!

Reading "Where Rainbows End" by Cecelia Ahern. Re-reading actually! I am so in love with Rosie and Alex!! No spoilers, but its a must-read!!! :D

Sheer randomness!

Right now, I feel soo random its not even funny!

Did I mention that I just got married??? Shocked much??

Well yeah, I got married to Ian Thorton, who people earlier thought-might I add, quite correctly- was just a careless gambler, but he's just inherited his father's title and unknowingly all his land and fortune. So I am the Countess of Havenhurst AND the duchess of Stanhope..how cool is that??

I know I know, I am married to Edward alright. In fact, we've been married since like forever!! I am a vampire right? We got bored of being TOGETHER together all the time..no no, dare u gimme that look!! That was bound to happen..we decided to take a break!! :)

Ian in really cute! And tall. And handome. Breathtakingly handsome. Stupendous personality..I AM SO IN LOVE WITH HIM!! And whats the most awesome thing ever?? He loves me too!!! :)

Plus, I just auditioned for So You Think You Can Dance!!!! I was the best, obviously..I got selected!!! Actually, the results aren't out yet..but Alice told me already..I am going to win! Vote for me anyways, please!!!!

Oh, and I just fought with quintains, and the crossbars hit me with a sword, so I was hospitalized..sad, isn't it?? I was supposed to take Ian on a tour of Havenhurst today..but damn that knight!!! :X

*Returning to being normal. Okay fine, I am not normal..just returning to who I am*
So had enough of the excuses?? What I have ACTUALLY been doing is lazing around. Looking for lazybones?? Right here my friend, right here!
Here's my routine. Mum wakes me up (yeah..for some reason, the sound of alarms falls on deaf years when it comes to me)..crib for like ten minutes..mum finally shouts..I make a face (which she can't see though..cause its like really dark when its 5! :/) drag myself..the usual getting-ready stuff..go to school..get scolded off by every teacher (seriously..people say karma's a bitch..I say luck!), and obviously I answer them back and as a result..with the exception of like two teachers, every other subject teacher hates me. The feeling's mutual and I honestly could NOT care less! But consequently, I am gonna have to make sure I do good in all tests..that'll show them! Talk about DESULTORY!! So well, then I come back, literally jump onto the bed after sulkingly eating lunch, which ALWAYS constitutes of some or the other green vegetable..but at least I can have cauliflower salad, which ROCKS! Anyways then I just laze around..sleep..eat..watch TV..download movies..facebooking..call friends and chat for HOURS..hang out in the appartment with Mauli/Neha di/ Aarushi di/ Chotti, come back..AGAIN watch TV..AGAIN surf..eat..and YET AGAIN watch TV..sleep..get up..and the same ol' story..OH, and on alternate days, I have to endure my gay tutor..but well, I survive because he is SO easy to distract..as a result..we talk for like 45 minutes and supposedly study for 15 minutes..
YES, And all this when I had promised that I WON'T waste time and actually study, thanks to my not-so-good results this time..but as always, I don't even feel guilty for NOT following it..then again..who said I had the strongest will power when it comes to studying and stuff?? :)

God, sometimes I kinda get stunned and blown off all over again by the intensity of my joblessness!!! I have absolutely NOTHING to do..in the last ten days, I completed five Judith McNaught's and I loved every single one of it..I am starting the sixth one now..called 'Every Breath You Take'..its sounds sickeningly quixotic, I know, but its not..not really, I mean..of course when youre reading Judith, you HAVE to love quixotic, which I do, but its not sick. Really! Plus, all her historicals toh totally revolve around romance, but all her modern romances have a touch of mystery in the background all along which makes it really cool!! God, I LOVE her!!!
I keep telling my friends to read..but ahh..who listens to me?? Neha di is the only one who kinda reads (special emphasis on kinda) but only hard copies..I happen to have no problems whether the books are hard copies or on the computer as long as they are good and I am reading!!! :)
Exhibit 1: Twilight, the saga I ADORE and was my absolute favorite until I read Harry Potter, I read the WHOLE saga on the PC..because it wasn't really popular in India back when I read it, so this online friend of mine told me to try it, and I did and the rest is history in making!! :) Anyways so then I couldn't wait for a second and I kept downloading until I had read the whole saga all in a whoosh!!!! And THEN I went for the hard copies!! I have read all the four books at least five times. And I am NOT exaggerating! :)

Anyways..you guys HAVE to listen to Someone Like You by Boys Like Girls..and Pop Princess by Click Five!!! I am addicted!! :)
Plus, if you're an avid reader like me, and happen to like historical romances..give Whitney My Love, Until You, A Kingdom of Dreams, Something Wonderful, Almost Heaven and Once and Always a try!!! =) Start with Whitney My Love btw!!
Oh, and I just came up with a quote. Its not a quote exactly..but its inspired by a quote..hmm..whatever!
'I am what I am..but I cant stop wondering if I know who I AM' =) In my case, I DONT, And I dont think anyone can really..because till the day we die, we keep learing something or the other about ourselves!!

Gotta resume reading..Judith rocks my world!!!
PS. I Love You
PPS. Yeah, I am random
PPPS. I adore the book, and love the movie!! =)

Love Drunk

I used to be love drunk,
but now I'm hungover
I love you forever, forever is over
We used to kiss all night,
now it's just a bar fight
So don't call me crying,
say hello then goodbye

I am officially in love with this song. Boys Like Girls..the band's name is as true as the fact that all their songs are beyond awesome!!! First there was Two is Better Than Me, and now Love Drunk!! =)

I wish I was a part of their band..I'd provide 'em with all those "oohh"s and "aahh"s in a sassy girly voice!! I could seriously do that! What a life it would be..not to mention I could be in a relationship with the lead (whose name I dont remember now, but does it matter? He is WOW!) Very frankly, I'd agree to be in a relationship with ANY guy who sings "Two Is Better Than One" to me! Seriously!!

I haven't blogged in a long time, have I?? Well, exams do that to you!

During exams, I have this strange habit of making LISTS!!! All the time they used to be roughly jotted, or not written at all..but this time I decided to put one here!!

So here's a list of songs I am addicted to currently, and are therefore, MUST-LISTEN-TO songs!!!

• Love Drunk- Boys Like Girls
• I Belong To You- Muse: I cant find the words to say..but they're overdue..I've travelled half the world to say..I belong to you..ooohhh..ohhhhh!! >
• Tujhe Bhula Diya- Anjaana Anjaani : Phir kyun teri yaadon ne mujhe rula diya..??
• Mera Jeena Hai Kya: Aashaayein : Jeena hai kya..marna hai kya..jab saath tera nahi..paa ke rab kya karoon..jab tu hi mera nahi!! :)
• Supermassive Black Hole- Muse: I heard this long ago..back when Twilight released..but I recently got re-addicted to it!! =D
• You are the music in me: Ditto! Rehooked!
• For the first time: The Script- FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!!!!! :)

Thats enough of my addiction list for noww!!!!

You wanna know some good news???

EXAMS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM OFFICIALLY UN-DEAD NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not the House of night now I am gonna kill innocent pizza delivery guys for the fun of it undead..the now I can have fun again undead!! =D

Although all her stories are very VERY obvious..the man is always some rich duke/earl/king and he has a very active physical life, a popular bachelor every mother hounds..and then he meets this girl and then comes lust, and then love!! :) And then there's zillions of misunderstandings but in the end..as they say..love conquers all !!! :)

PS. There's still Computers together..but its graded! Translation: WHO CARES??

Gotta read more!!!

I figured I hadn't written in a long time..so there!! :)

I am not in my muse today suppose..its deserted me..for the time being!

More later then !!!!!

I AM SOOO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D =D =D =D

Major sense of foreboding

That's what I am getting right now..a major MAJOR one!!!
Reason? Maths exam tomorrow. Enough said.
I just read my blog posts..and the cribbing-about-exams thing is getting realllyy monotonous. But whats good is that once tomorrow comes, I ll no longer have to prove OBVIOUSLY straight lines straight..I wont have to solve incomprehensible linear equations..I wont have to mug up all theorems, axioms and postulates, no more congruent triangles..thats MY definition of bliss. For the time being, at least..
I really really hope I dont flunk...thats a bit of an exaggeration though..I've prepared as much to be sure that I dont flunk..but I seriously want to get a 90 plus!! Call me a nerd, but I want to..that's that!!
But then, once Maths is over, come to think of it, there's so many subjects LEFT!! *sigh*
Right now, the song I can most relate to, is Wake Me Up When September Ends by Green Day!!!

I remember this series called Shaka Laka Boom Boom (NOT the movie. The movie, from what I've heard and the limited amount of scenes and songs in the trailers that I have seen, was trash) where this guy Sanju who has a magic pencil which transforms his drawings into authentic stuff, sketches a guy, and this guy has a weird yet awesome gift that when he sleeps with a book under his head, he wakes up miraculously knowing ALL about the book. All as in all..EVERY bloody thing mentioned in the book.
I sooo wish I could do that with the blasted RS. Agrawal book..that's another definition of bliss!!! :)

Can't be aquainted with stuff I actually like today..got a lot of despicable things to do.

Please please PLEASE wish me all the luck you can..
Luck is the only thing close to a savior this time around..
=(

Hope to write in good spirits, my next post that is..!!

I am proud of myself!!! =)

So..today..I did something that I never, I repeat never ever thought I'd even think of doing. Not in my wildest dreams. Actually, on a second thought, it's not all that WILD, the word sounds kinda horny ever since they started associating it with deodrants which make waxed men irresistible. Yeah, Waxed men. Irresistible!! =P Which world are u living in??? It looks GAY to me really, maybe other guys find them irresistible.
Damn, talk about desultory. Let's get to the point. I deactivated my Facebook account!!!! I have no idea which face to make, cause although I am an addict when it comes to FB, I am also shockingly PROUD of myself for having done that. Maybe its because whenever someone told me/asked me whether I'd ever deactivate it, I gave them the 'are-you-absolutely-mental' or my ever-famous horror-struck look and was like "I can't leave my boyfriend, you know!! :)"
Oh well, looks like I finally had to. But its just that, Facebook is a major distraction. Like, the personification of the God of Distraction..or maybe its the Devil of Distraction. Whatever it is!! And I was starting to get that blithering kind of a feeling, thanks to all the brilliant questions popped up by basically ALL teachers, and 3/4th of my day was spent on Facebook, so I felt like it was a necessity. Plus, it also had a little something to do with the fact that Yashwi sort of challenged me, when I said 'Enough yaar!! No more Facebook..now toh bas din bhar I'll be stuck with my books, nights ending in a deep slumber with my books, wake up with books to greet me 'Good Morning' (cut out the Good, please) and just live with them, because honestly, Maths literally halwa ho gaii!!! =o Oh and by the way, did I tell you I lluurrvvv exaggerating stuff?? So I might not have said ALL of that, but definitely some, or most of it!! Really!!
She just coolly replied 'De-activate it!'
And thanks to my ego, some sorta weird attitude, or just a plain bet, I was like 'Fine I will!!'
That happened like two weeks ago..and she decided to mock me today!! On the phone, which is worse..
And bam, I de-activated it!!!
But now, abhi while writing, I am thinking again, and its actually not that big a deal. I mean, ALL I have to do is log in with my usual e-mail and password, and it will be re-activated. Just like that. With a fricking click!! Oh, and some typing too. But I have something to be pride of right now, I am NOT gonna let that feeling sink!!!

Of course, I can't live without Facebook, you don't expect me to, do you?? So I just opened it a mere two times, from Mauli's account, although we have just a handful of friends in mutual. I was gonna use Neha di's, when I rememebered that she changed her password, and I was so used to the earlier one, I have no idea what the new one is, just a vague idea, which is of course, tantamount to having zero access. And then I say I am a mugger.

And yet again, I am thinking (I tend to do that a lot during the examinations vaale days..I dunno why..my imagination works wonders..maybe its charged by stress or something..you never know..weirder stuff has happened) that Facebook de-activation isn't really gonna do me much good, because now I find myself strung out to blogging. Of course, I can't stop all these thoughts that keep forming themselves in my jobless brain..so I just gotta let 'em flow here..

But the flow now has to stop, for the moments, for my eyelids REFUSE to even stay ajar anymore!!
Good night my new obsession..I am way too tired to write your dialogs, so I'll do that later.. =)

Night!!

Ha-pp-ppy Budday!!

This post is dedicated to my knight in shining armor, elixir of life, my personal Ron Weasley and Sirius Black (when you consider me to be Harry Potter and James Potter) Varsha Rupani!!
Who turned 15 at the stroke of midnight today!! :)
Happpppppyyyyyyyy Budday my dearest!!!!!!!!!! =D
Ever since, ALL I have been doing is, telling her that she is a "buddhi amma" now (I am still 14!!!) and she's gonna die before I do!! =D
I feel so insanely young everytime one of my friends have their birthdays, because I am younger than ALL my closest friends (the largest difference being 3 years!)!!

So well, I had one helluva day today!!!! School was actually FUN, in the literal sense, completely after what seems right now like an eternity, really!
Of course, the most significant contributing factor was the muffins and cakes she brought. Fact: Varsha's mum bakes the BEST cakes and muffins ever. Seriously. And of course, she's totally like Mrs. Weasley, she is a strong believer that the more we eat, the more we excel in well, anything. Or maybe she loves stuffing us. The latter seems realistic, if you know her mum.
Even the card made for her, by me of course, constituted of a lot more thanks to her mother than to her. Remember that blog post on Friendship's Day?? So, well, you guys know them, if it hadn't been for her, I wouldn't have my elixir of life or Ron Weasley or Sirius Black at all. And no, its NOT because of the reason that she gave birth to her, which now that I think about it, seems wayyy more obvious.
Today was the BEST day ever!!!!!!!!! =D We bunked the whole time, the weather was beyond awesome, every fricking teacher seemed to be absent/our ears downright REFUSED to register any word they said, I got punished a record-breaking 5 times (I dunno when EXACTLY, but I have started feeling insanely proud when I defy a teacher and/or I'm punished. The other day, our "Respected teacher" The Tarun..btw..The preceded Tarun because he has an infuriating THING for it. Seriously. When he's reading from the book, even then he adds his own "the"s and "a"s wherever he feels like. I mean seriously, is it that difficult to pay attention in your English class? And then they go on and give lectures on concentration. Hypocrites really. The other day he was telling me how "I somehow passed 8th grade and that I don't study and that I'm a disturbing element, when I unservilely, like the expect us to, pointed out to him that I am a blue belt holder, and what does he say to that? "Academics isn't the only thing required. Notebook and companion submission is necessary too." I informed him that both of the mentioned things were checked, so he's like "You aren't doing ME a favor" Oh well, seriously man, WHAT do you want me to do? You see how far I go when it comes to criticizing teachers. Don't ever get me started). Plus we ate zillions (four) larger than life muffins, which were AMBROSIAL!!!!!!!!! I wish mum learned how to bake too. She finds it a waste of time, and says I can order and there's always Cake Parlour. Still, of late, she's been making plans to start learning, but keeping in mind from which side I got the rich art of procrastinating, odds are still low that she might start anytime in near future.
And Varsha, being the byatch that she is, says carrying large Tupperwares filled with choco-stuff is NOT her idea of coming to school everyday. All I can do is sigh. And go to her place as often as I can.

Oh, and did I mention that the weather TOTALLY calls, screams, shouts, begs for an outing. Maybe to some hill station. Or maybe a long drive. Or just a night-out. The air conditioner is NO use when it comes to such weather. I love it, really. Too bad Varanasi, is well, undescribably, unendurably HOT most of the time. Which sucks if you're me, who LOVES winters. Adore it! Of course, it doens't hurt that our winter school uniform is infinitely superior in comparison to the summer's. Not just in comparison, its just great aise bhi! I find EVERY student attractive in the winter uniform, really, its just that good. Almost every student I mean! =)
It was the first time in a LONG while when I returned home smelling more like myself and less like some football player when practice is over. Of course, football players are HAWT, if only they smelled good all the time. But you can't be all good things at a time unless you're Edward Cullen or something!! =)
I was SO disappointed when I heard David Bekham wouldn't be playing. Fact#2 He. Is. Hot. Enough said! This year was the first time I watched FIFA, I mean, every match where England and Portugal and Argentina played (I am in love with Christiano Renaldo and Lionel Messi. Sometimes, when I sit down to make a list of the guys I love, I feel like a slut!! =P) Then I found out David wasn't playing. So I stuck to just the other two teams. Yeah, I am shallow that way, I am not an avid sportsperson. In fact, I am sport-ally challenged, if you know what I mean. I am impaired. My hand-eye cordination, for one, is zilch. The only sport I can say that I PLAY, is Badminton, at which, thankfully I am good. Otherwise, I downright suck at every other sport. I used to like basketball when we had to stand in a queue and wait out turns and then concentrate and hit the ball inside the basket. More often than not, my ball DID manage to go inside the basket. THEN, they go on and introduce me to actual football, and that was the end of my being-a-part-of-the-school-basketball-team dream. Not exactly a dream, if you get the gist of what I am saying.

Two of my best friends (Munmun and Choti) play basketball. Munmun, who's my cousin too, and in 7th grade atm, is 5'7 and a half feet tall, when I am a mere 5'3/5'4 (and I consciously avoid walking beside her, but fail miserably) She is the basketball team captain. When I play with them, well, I can say I play. But otherwise, I am just too intimidated by everyone watching me and my every move. Plus, my hand-eye cordination is zero, like I mentioned earlier, so well, that ends with me playing only badminton.

Plus, expectantly Until You is The Bomb!!!!! I am hooked. But everytime I think of the Maths exam, I start hyperventilating. Plus, just when I was starting to feel a slight bit of confidence in my preparations, bam, I saw the sample papers and exam paper of other schools, not to mention the questions given to us by some substitute teacher who seemed to be sleep-walking by the way, *whoosh* all the hardly built confidence goes down the drain.
But all this LEAST concerns me when I am reading. When I read, its like I am teleported to a parallel, LOVELY, preferable universe, where EVERYTHING revolves around love-lives, and no one gives a DAMN about practical, real stuff. Of course, romance is real, but not the centre of attraction in real life, sadly. Of course I am talking about romance novels. When I read stuff like Harry Potter, I feel charged from within, ready to hex anyone who foolishly dares to come near me, but still, its a parallel lovely preferable universe too!!!
If only I could live there all my life!!
Like I always tend to say, Wishful Thinking Hurts!!!!!! Yeah, I learned that from Rihanna's Rehab!! :)

Its weird how my posts always end on such "happy" notes.
Well, u hate the courteous part of me, so I'll just say, More later..!!!!!! =)

PS. Superman by Eminem is SOME song. I love the way Eminem sings really. Every rapper pales in comparison to him. That matter-of-factly I-dont-give-a-fack attitude that emanates from him is simply out of the world!!!!!

I do know one thing though..bitches they
come they go..Saturday through Sunday Monday..Monday through Sunday Yo!! Maybe
I'll love you one day, maybe we'll someday grow, till then just sit your drunk
ass on that fackin' runway ho
Cause I can't be your
SUPERMAN!!!
