10 Secrets...

Thanks Pranali for tagging me and God bless your friend Mia for tagging you… Is there anything called 8th sky as well?? I am exactly there.

Though the tag is a tough one… 10 Secrets… If I write them here, they won't be secrets anymore… So, I have to be very cautious about this one… Here it goes:

1. Nimit knows about it but others don't. After watching one of the episodes of Byomkesh Bakshi in my childhood, I always have to look towards the window of any room (be it a washroom) that I enter into, to check if anyone is peeping through it, even if I am on 100th floor and the window opens to sky only…. I still do that. TV can have bad influence on kids…

2. I cannot walk on someone's right hand side. Even if I walk, after sometime, I would abruptly switch the sides. Whenever I walk on someone's right hand side I get a feeling that I am about to fall on my right hand side…

3. I am not at all patient. I would start something with all josh and planning but after sometime, I would get bored and quit it

4. I doze off in the bathroom in the morning (that's why I take long time), normally on week days when I get up early and am in no mood to go to office

How many are left?? Oh, 6…

5. This is a top one… Ever since my brother had gone to study engineering and there was a time during any day when I was alone, I would switch on the music player, put on my favorite song and sing aloud (VERY LOUD) and occasionally dance as well… No idea if someone already knows about it or not

6. Though I don't believe in ghosts or spirits but given a choice for time pass discussion, I love this topic AND once through with the discussion, I get paranoid about everything around me for about half a day or so J J

7. I always get scary dreams about my accidental death in lift, by drowning, by falling off the cliff or an accident while travelling by train or plane… I want to die single piece actually without any scratch or something on my body…

8. I am scared of dogs/stray cows etc. One more thing… I have noticed this. A stray cow/dog might be standing/sitting quietly but as soon as I pass by their side, they HAVE to react and they have to move as if they were waiting for me to come to attack me… They all conspire against me!!!

9. Many people during my college days think that I was all attentive in classes every time. But I was attentive only during few of the subjects. During other classes, I used to make some or the other cartoon or drawing (if I had any of my old registers, I would have given you a proof) or write in mirror image style. Oh yes, I can write very fast in mirror image style in notebooks or papers (not tried it much on black/white boards)

10. And here is the biggest confession. I cheated, yes; I cheated using my chota chota chits in 2nd semester HR paper in MBA (not the whole paper, just 2 questions). But apart from that I could never pull it off… L L

These were some of my secrets… There are lots of other secrets as well which I would never disclose… he ha…

I am not going to tag any one, coz I know that no one else, apart from Pranali, is interested in this. Still, if someone is, do go ahead and leave a message in my comments box and I will definitely check it out… CHEERS!!!

??

I had earlier also written about losing our minds at the drop of the hat and do something horrible. On top of it, time and again we witness some judgment passed by the court which leaves us open mouthed.
One such incident: Neeraj Grover murder case. I did read about the case when it happened but then it got entangled in the legal corridor. Last week again it grabbed our attentions. On Friday a judgment was passed… The lady, Maria, gets a 3-year imprisonment and the man, Jerome, gets 10 years sentence. But since Maria has already spent 3 years in jail during the trial, so she is a free bird now.
I am no one to comment on whether Neeraj himself was all good and clean but the fact is that he was murdered and disposed off by Maria and Jerome. It's about the way this heinous crime was done. It's about the insensitivity of the murderers and her lawyer, who claims that the body was not cut into '300' pieces and showed the photo of the body in a press conference. It's about how on earth did they 'plan' the murder and decided to chop his body. Merely thinking about the moment and what must be going on in their minds at that time sends shiver down my spine…
We were watching a discussion on NDTV news yesterday and the lawyer was shamelessly adamant on the point that "since she is his client, it's his responsibility to defend her and he will do whatever he must to ensure this". Fine, you are your client's lawyer but does that make you an insensitive human being? Someone has lost their son in such terrible way and you are showing his body's photograph to defend your client…
What else can we say… Such cases are just making it scary to live…

IT WORKS!!!

YES... It works... now I can write a post, e-mail it from my desktop to the blog address, access the blogger dashboard on my mobile and publish the post.... YE !!!!!!
The wide screen is amazing... As good and easy to use & navigate as in a normal pc...
CHEERS!!!

HEYLO ALL....

Heylo….
I am back after a "blog-aakal" (term coined by Pranali)… Have been busy with a lot many things at home and in office… And today finally I thought to connect again with my blog….
The most important tragedy that could happen to me which prevented me to post anything on my blog: all of a sudden my IE settings changed and I am not able to open the blogger dashboard L L
Another tragedy, I used to read other blogs using Google Reader but it refused to open. Just now have got my IE upgraded to IE7 and now I can access Reader but dashboard is still inaccessible.
BUT, lot of other good things happened. Mr. Husband celebrated his birthday on 1st June. Shall not disclose his age or else will have to face the consequences… I made a nice personalized calendar for him with the pictures of those who matter to him the most. Yours truly also celebrated her birthday. Again, shall not disclose the age: that's a universal law… Girls (ha ha... don't laugh, I am calling myself 'girl' and not a 'lady') should not tell their age in public… Btw, my main reason to put up this post comes now….
Mr. Husband gave me an amazing gift… Samsung Galaxy S. Those who don't understand what's the big deal about this, I must tell that it is the most happening phone in India these days (after iPhone)… That's my perception; 'coz the moment I tell anyone that I now have Samsung Galaxy S, their reaction suggests that its equivalent to owning a Merc J J
Thanks Nimit… and now, I dedicate almost 8-9 hours mindlessly fidgeting with my new phone… truly in love with its amazing wide display, touch screen, keyboard, voice… though, this may look against the very nature of any female, but after this, I don't need any gift for another 2 years from Nimit now… but if he wants to gift something, that would totally be his decision J
Last month, my parents and mausi-mausaji people went to Badrinath and successfully completed their pilgrimage. Almost exactly a month later, in-laws also embark on their journey to Badrinath. We were tensed down here, 'coz that's the rainy season and it becomes dangerous but they all came back safely and satisfied yesterday… That's a big relief…
Does someone remember that my office had been once divided into teams for various team events??!!! So, the last team event was announced many weeks back- dance competition. Other teams started practicing religiously and my team decides to sleep over, as usual. I and other 3 active members also decided to chillax (chill + relax). But the event gets postponed and I find so many unknown people of my office asking ME as to why our team is not participating. The humiliation levels cross its limit and 4 of us decides to give it a shot…
2 non-dancers (boys) + 1 semi-dancer (I) + 1 fairly good dancer (Pushpa) = 4 participants from the Nuts 'n' Bolts.
We sweat ourselves out for 2.5 days, mix two songs and somehow come on the stage. We start our 'performance'. 1st song goes well with lot of cheers and we start with the 2nd song. I couldn't take off my dupatta at the time of song transition, but that's a minor error. And all of a sudden, our song gets cut and I could hear the final piece of music… Damn… all such stupid things happen with my group ONLY…. So, we stop abruptly for few seconds, standing like confused aliens on the stage… But I must say, it was fun… That was the 1st time in my life that I volunteered to dance on a stage in front of a crowd (last time I remember myself standing on the stage was when I was in 1st or 2nd standard, when the complete class is made to dance in the annual function). No prizes for guessing, our team came last in the events. At that moment I was angry with my 'team-mates' and was cursing our bad luck with the music but then that was just an event and I was amazed to see such fine enjoyable performances from other individuals and groups.
All in all, a very happening month just passed by… And, this is a test post which I am planning to post via my phone… If it works, I will be regular here…. CHEERS!!!
