Self Tagged

My blog was post less for the day! So I self tagged myself from Suresh's ole tagged post about questionare time! (Well Suresh (being a very sweet person here) also had mentioned at the end of the post that others too can take up the tag! )

So here it goes.....

My very first tag.. that too self tag.. yipeee!!! (hope i do a fair justice to myself here)


RULE #1 People who have been tagged(or in my case self tagged) must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.

RULE #2 Tag 6 people to do this quiz and those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by and cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending it to other people.


1. If your lover betrayed you what would your reaction be?
A very surprised 'are you kidding me' look... then a dazed feeling... and once i get out of the zombie world...i would shop till my bank balance runs out, just to get over the depressed state. that would surely get me back into life :D...


2. If you could have one dream come true which one would it be?
Hmmmm... travel the world around or the best ... be an anchor to a worldwide travel show.. a very nice way to travel and earn at the same time :) !!

Expectation Fever

When do you think its the right time to stop expecting more from others in your life?

A very wise friend of mine once told me that Expectation leads to Frustration!

Yup they are relative...

Expectation --> Not fulfilled --> Frustration

We are born greedy, i guess! We always expect for more from others than ourselves!

We give our exams, we expect for some miraculous extra marks then deserved!
As teenagers, we expected our parents to understand the fact that we had grown up and stop treating us as kids!
We will always find our salary to be less then our expectations, no matter how much it may increase!
We watch a movie, we say that the movie could have been a better entertainer for the ticket amount paid.
At times people go out to the extent of arguing with the cobblers b'cos they feel he is charging more. They expect him to always charge less then 5 bucks!
As parents in future, we may always expect our kids to study and score more their the child's ability!
Buy the discounted goods and we come home and complain that the quality is really bad!
Some of us taste the food in the restaurant and always complain that it could have tasted better unless we are dead hungry(thats the only time we eat without any complaints).
We are in a relationship, we expect more from our partners, a little more understanding, a little more care and a little more love.
Its always easy to complain and sulk if dont get more from others rather then thinking what we can do.

Then there are times when we expect others to understand our fears, worries, and our pains without us saying a word!

This post is from the philosophical part in me!
My advice Guys...

Stop expecting from others and start expecting a little more from yourself! (Give it a try people)

HaPpY nEw YeAr PeOpLe!!!!

Happy New Year Guys!!!

Finally its 2009.. If I was Back in school days, i would take atleast a week of January to get used to writing -/-/09 instead of -/-/08...Thank God i dont have to write down the dates on paper anymore!

Hope you all had a blast yesterday night guys!!

Well I celebrated my new years at home... I would say there are quite a few advantages of spending the new years eve at home...
- You dont have to wake up on the first day of the year in the noon with a hangover!
- You get to count your own countdown to the new years.
- You can listen to your favorite music and not complain about the music the DJ plays at the party!
- You are surrounded by people whom you actually know and not a bunch of strangers.

And you can go for a 10'o clock show and then crash at the pub on the very first day of the year :) !!!!

Yup i went for a 10'o clock show of Madagascar-Escape 2 Africa today!It feels good to spend your entire morning just laughing your heart outs!! Anyone out there interested in watching this movie..Please do go for it.. its good!
Right after the movie, after lot of heavy discussion me, path and geoff (my two other dharlingis who spent their new years too at home sweet home) ended up at a local pub(which has been like our second home)... We were the first customers for the day.. oh! the year too...and we guys made some dumb resolutions too(which we very well know wont be followed) ..


Here I am now on the very first post under my 2009 blog archive!
All you guys reading this post have a fabulous year ahead of you!

This post is dedicated to my dharlingis who spent their new years night at home.. raqs, path, geoff, moi!!!

The week that was!!

Guys!! what do i say??? The best part of this week was that i had to work only for three days in this entire week(all smiles )!!! But then had been one hell of a busy three days at office ...All i had been waiting was for Wednesday evening to start feeling the holiday seasonal effects!
Well other then that i had wonderful week...

Achievements for this week!

* My age old craving for sitting on the high bar stool near the bar tender and having a shooter was fulfilled. And after two shooters down i was good enough to throw ice around the place! Yup thats what happens when you directly crash at a pub with your friends after work!

* Had a very appetizing Christmas lunch on Thursday at my friends place...I guess starting from 12 to 5, i competed against myself on a non-stop munching contest. I had a lovely lunch and may have gained atleast a kilo in a single day!


And the Over-Achievements for this week!

* I had my first ever "Gang of Dogs Attack" experience. Gosh a hell of a crazy experience guys! I was just walking back home through one of the short cut ways and out of nowhere some four dogs just came out all barking at me. All i did was stand there all shocked and call out different names for each dog! If i had moved even a inch here or there, a white dog's teeth would have been directly on my legs! Finally my calling the name game worked and one dog started wagging its tail a little.. After some 50 seconds the other dogs too got a little tired and moved away and next moment i just rushed out from there without a second glance..Phew! am happy that my legs are safe enough!


Entertainment for this week!

* Then was the whitey Christmas beach party ...actually the theme for the party was white...yes guess you guys guessed it right.. It was UV party and all you could see was white glowing clothes dancing around and I had a last minute shopping done for the white party!
The party wen on till 5 in the morning.. and we guys danced nonstop.. I just danced the entire night away on some watermelon vodka and a shot of Bacardi ...Well the results of the groovy dancing started showing its side effects from the next morning and since then my body has been silently revolting against me each time i move a muscle...

* I watched Ghajini on saturday.. I personally wouldn recommend it to any of you guys... a very long and draggy movie.. And for those who have watched the English version (Memento) of this movie... phuleeaase don goooo....Hindi version is just a sandwich of romance and action... The only attraction in the entire movie is Amir Khan. Damn he looks hot in those vest and tight shirts... Man! you can just keep staring at him..


Finally the Sunday!

I was totally in my hibernation mode today (except for the morning when i washed two week load of clothes). Then all i did was eat, sleep and watch tv... My idea of a perfect Sunday :) ..

Well that was my entire weekend.. gotta get back to work tomorrow.. aawwwww!!!

PS: Guess i act worst then my 5th std when it comes to Sunday evenings thinking about office tomorrow after a four day break!

Feminine Famine!

I feel the need to revolutionize my feminine side b'cos of the following reasons:

* I carry a blank expression on my face when people talk about exotic perfumes!

* I wear pointed sandals or high heels only when there is an absolute need for it.. else i am very happy to wear flats.

* I still hav'nt learnt the art of applying eyeshadow!

* I feel a little lost when i enter any lingerie store.

* Never carried a hand kerchief with me (maybe only at extreme nose flow conditions).

* My beauty salon visits are meant only for eyebrows and haircuts.

* People can never associate me with any particular fragrance. Just use random deodorants!

* I dont carry any umbrella during summers. (forget the summer... I carry an umbrella during the rainy season with a heavy heart)

* I feel sorry for men after reading Shobha De's book.

* My knowledge on face creams and lotions suck!

* I wear a chain around my neck only when my grany comes for a visit!

* I dont mind getting out of the house without any accessory.

* I cannot pitch into any conversation about the cosmetic products.

* I dont posses any bindi packets!

* Its been ages since I have shopped for any lipsticks or nail colors.

Basically a anti femme fatale!

A conversation with a bugged soul

Day: Friday
Time: 3:15 PM
Location: At their respective offices
Presenting.....
Me: As myself, the Charmed One!
BG: A Bugged soul!

me: mister
BG: miss
me: hows the day treating you?
BG: Very busy

After a while .......

BG: I am frustrated now
me: mind not working huh?
BG: bugged
me: whats happening with your work?
BG: already written 800 lines of code...
Now I cant see things..
me: take a break mister
BG: I am blinded!!
:(
me: brain is working real hard here..
i tell u...
BG: hehe
me: close your eyes for a moment. put your thumb on your eyes .. n sit silently n think of a nice dish to eat :)

BG: haha

So where's the catch???

The pamphlet on our table read "Get a gift voucher of 500 bucks for every v Dot cocktail"!

Now all of us were excited looking at that!! Sales and discounts anywhere and everywhere gets me all excited and on my toes!! At times i think i live only for sales and offers!! I know this time it was nothing for us gals and you can use this voucher at the Van Heusen showroom only. My friend Geoff has gotten back from Jakarta and since this lazy bum hasn done any shopping for clothes over there... finally made us order around 5 cocktails and collected 2500 worth coupons for his next day shopping. I was still wondering... its not a yearly clearance time nor has the festive sales started, so where was the catch for this gift voucher!!

Well yesterday i learnt that the catch was that, you can use only one 500 bucks ka coupon for every purchase made above 2500.. Now that we have 5 coupons..let me do my maths here... we would have to shop for clothes worth 12500... hmmm nay not that worth...unless you are doing some major wedding shopping or your once a yearly shopping!!!

Anyways we crashed at the Van Heusen showroom yesterday evening and spent like around an hour looking out for something good.. There wasn anything that great..gift voucher holders can be choosers too right and even if we did find some two good shirts and trousers, we couldn find the perfect fit and size...( thats something you gotta do about Geoff - you get what am saying na :P )!! Finally got out of that place and we did end up buying clothes from some other shop without any discount or offer :)!!

So the gift voucher still lives .....
