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

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.. :)
