Now it has a title!

So apparently there are folks out there who are angry and dejected that i dont visit their blogs... to quote "someone" 
Ipdilaam bribe kuduthalachum ivanga namma blog pakkamlaam varangalanu paaka thaan :D   (Want to see if she comes by my blog  atleast when I bribe her)
ahem ahem!! but, tch tch tch, I do read all your blogs, you , you and even you... but the only issue is I read them on my Google Reader and the lazy ass I am, never bother to click on individual posts to comment on the post.   oh well... that sounded super snooty... :D 


anyhow... So,  apparently I have been awarded with *wait for it....* *and drum rolls please* The Versatile Blogger award.. thank you , thank you... unfortunately I don't have a pet chihuhuhuhuhuhua to thank for supporting me to get this award. Oh well... 




RULES about the award:
1. Thank the person who awarded you and link back to them in your post (ahem, Thanks gils.. :D )
2. Tell 7 random facts about yourself (ugh.... Amber alert amber alert, this post asks me to spill the beans)
3. Pass the award (dammit!! I thought I can keep it to myself :| )


Ok so lets get on with it!

1. I read a lot... A lot means a loooooooooooot... every morning I wake up to an overflowing Google reader and after reading them, I read the articles in the explore section. When that is over, I search for certain keywords I am working on that day and read them.. I also refresh my GReader multiple times a day... Then i click on every damn link shared on tweeter. Then is the offline reading. As of now, I am reading Chanakya's Chant by Ashwin Sanghvi. Then I am reading three different types of manuscripts for my research. And finally, four reference books for my photography. Phew... :P

2. I space out quite easily. When I am out with friends and others are talking about topic that least concerns me, I zone out pretty easily. Duh! What am I saying?? There are times when I have zoned out even while getting specific instructions from clients and ask them to send it over in an email :D

3. I am a creature of habits.. To me there is a routine set in everyday.. I brush after bath, often combining it with a mental checklist of to-do things of the day. The keys go into a certain pocket. I pack my laptop after packing my lunch and before checking on the things I carry daily. If even a single step goes wrong, it will be mad dash in the evening. I won't remember where I left the keys and you will witness me doing a baboon dance rummaging my butt searching for the keys.. umm the back pockets of the jean, I mean.. So you get the drift?? No? Well dammit! :P

4. I love babies until someone else is holding.. I can make babies smile, play with them, baby talk to them.. but only till someone else holds it.. If given to me, probably I'll freak out.. Dunno.. Never tried.. :-P

NOW!! wait-a-nimit!!! why does this oddly feel like a tag.. Gils, u tricked me eh!! dammit!! oh well, I ll revert to one line answers then :D

5. I love eating raw mangoes, half ripe guavas and half ripe papaya with salt and chili powder.. Mom makes the sour expression instead of me whenever I eat such stuff in her presence :D

6. As much as I love clicking, I am not comfortable with others clicking me. There are only a handful of people I am comfortable posing for. (and that list is fast depleting :( )

7. I suck at writing blog posts... just imagine. Gils gave me this award on Tuesday, March 29, 2011 (copy pasted from his blog :P) and I was writing writing writing it till today :| meh!! Lazy eh! I like to call myself super busy :D

And now to pass on the award,

1. Cybernag / Zephyr or watever she wants to call herself :D My cyber mom, she is :)
2. R's Mom - I think i know her name, but i am doubtful. oh well.. :)
3. err anyone else who wants it..


Phew!!

The Next Aiswarya Rai...

It all started with Pantaloon folks sending me a mailer with a call to send in applications for Femina Miss India 2010.. The fucked up mood or the "shaniyan" in me made me update the Gtalk status as "is it a joke or what??? i get a call from Femina Miss India 2010.. yeah rite!!" What ensued was too beautiful not to post as a blogpost.. so here we go "Tada"

Gmail Ping from Prem Piyush aka P-Square:

Me CUte and Honest... Awwwww..

Last week Phoenix awarded me with this...

 Seems i have to reveal some 10 cute things abt me... ummm.. 10 evil things that i can spew out without hesitation but cute tings.. umm lemme think... Seriously speaking , why i avoided the award so far was this reason.. i simply cant think 10 good/cute things abt me... i am trying ok, i am trying..  Lemme start..
  1. Ppl say my voice sounds sweet over the phone.. the sweetness stops there.. they cant connect with me in reality.. my voice turns hag-like.. have to blame Alexander Graham Bell, i think!
  2. I like being organized with my work stuff.. ok lemme face it.. i am heavily organized.. i file things, tab them, maintain a hard copy , several soft copies, and cross tab them in a different location.. but with house hold objects, though i remember where i have kept my things, i am not that clean and organized...
  3. all my daily wear Tees are of a single style... i cant think of wearing or dressing up except for parties...i dunno if thats a cute thing, but it sure helps ppl to identify me in crowd.. a round necked, short sleeved Tee in pastel shades with a Quirky line on the front... most of the lines spew sarcasm to the "T"..
  4. Imspite of being a Total tom boy, i love my nails.. i pamper them with manicures and treatments.. i sit most weekends to file and shape them before sleep... i love trying new nail paints and colors on them.. phew... :-D
  5. I love making people smile.. not just friends but random ppl too.. how and why that depends on the situation... :-)
  6. Yaar Phoenix this is too lengthy and tiresome.. y cant u make me rite some evil things abt me.. Ok.. i am a Workaholic.. i go all d way to finish a job taken up by me.. and i dont rest/ eat before i finish it off or meet the deadline...
  7. i keep on saying some fundas and pretty std at them... like " every nite i die, only to be reborn at d dawn", " Hope is the only thing that keeps me going" etc.. but if i follow them or not, i really dunno..
  8. i love packing things... gifts, household objects, clothes, packing for overnite journey.. just love them... but unpack them, sorry i aint no game.. u gotta do that..
  9. i find babies way too cute.. but only to an extent.. i cant bear the naughty unruly ones... i get pretty hyper wen they go outta hand... :-|
  10. i am obsessed with my hair... i love to preen it every nite as if it is Lion's mane.. well heck IT IS...
Phew.. done with.. Thanks for the lovely Award dear... i wud like to pass this on to Roshan and DV..
