It gets better everytime! To give you a clue, I’m talking about music. So whats new? @hnprashanth gifted me a last.fm subscription! That means I can listen to non-stop, personalised radio! I also get ad-free browsing and streaming & listen to stations of music I’ve loved/tagged. I’m loving it so far!

My last.fm account was created a long time back [when I was on blogger, used yahoo messenger and orkut :-\]. You can check it out here.

Hot stuff on my playlist: Deep Purple, Lifehouse, Junkyard Groove [11:11 bootleg is out for free download, go get it!], Goo Goo Dolls [there is more to them than Iris, if thats the only track you've heard] and a ‘lil bit of others.

So seems like north India has cooled down atlast. I’m getting to see pictures of rain everywhere. Thats good. The weather down here in Bangalore is pleasant [as always] but the only biggest annoying thing are the power cuts. Whats worse is that they don’t cut it on one go, like for a few hours continuously. They cut it every 5- 20 minutes and just when you feel happy that its back, puff! It goes again. In the meantime, I get completely lost and fidgety and act drunk trying to throw things at my poor grandma :-|

Give me some suggestions as to what I can do during the power cuts? Please don’t say “read” coz I have already read 4 books by Sheldon and am currently reading “A Thousand Splendid Suns” [I simply can't get to finish this, it is too sad and too plain. Not my type]. My mom thinks learning to cook is a good idea. I do not want to chop vegetables, mix spices and fry them till they get brown/black/whatever!!! Holidays get worse with power cuts. Humph.


Yesterday, I was bit by “blogging tendency”. I badly wanted to log onto wordpress and post something. You know what happened? WordPress crashed. This has happened many times before. The link keeps breaking. I couldn’t log in until now. So yes, thats my Murphy story.

I’ve noticed how my blogging standards are all time low right now. The only thing I’ve talked about is music, television shows and more music. But thats pretty much how my life is right now. See, I’d thought that 3 months of holidays is going to rock and I’ll be able to finish my lists, etc. But no! All I’ve been doing is sleeping, watching television and listening to a LOT of music.

I’ve been following “The Secret Life of The American Teenager“. It is a very sad show btw. Its about a 15 year old girl who gets pregnant, doesn’t tell her parents for a really long time and acts real dumb during the process. It really surprised/ shocked/ annoyed me for a while. Come to think of it, are American teenagers that dumb as to not know how to handle such things? Ok, they make this one big mistake. And then what? In the show, she says “I’m going to pretend like it never happened“. Is she crazy? Doesn’t she know that she is going to blot like a hippo after 3 months? It is nothing like JUNO. I just follow it coz I have nothing else to do [that I can actually blog about later] and this guy called “Ben” in the show is really nice =P

I wish I wrote more often. There was a really nice article about teenage writers that I found on Sameer’s blog. Will put up the link when I find it.

Update: Found it- 10 things teenage writers should know about writing.


If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow
Don’t be alarmed now,
It’s just a spring clean for the may queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There’s still time to change the road you’re on.
And it makes me wonder.


As of 20th June, 2009, 10. 04 pm, I am proud to present to you probably the ONLY person in the entire facebook community who hasn’t taken even one of the “How Well Do You Know Me” quizes. *applaud*

You know what I found extremely funny during this whole “You Know Me-Oh-So-Well-Lets-Rock-Out” quiz season? People who flaunted their friendship so much during school/non-school days turned out to know their BFFs very badly. I am not saying that the basis of friendship be placed on this stupid quiz, but I find it really funny somehow.

“Best Friends” sticking their faces together in every other picture showing off their closeness, apparently sucked at really knowing their friends from the heart. That is what lacks in todays friendship. You don’t make real friends just by gluing your faces together.  Where is the question the lost real meaning of being a FRIEND? Of confidence in each other, knowing each other so well that you’d never regretted any single day with him/her, feeling optimistic with them…I can go on. How many of them will you *really* find beside you 10 years from now? That is for you to find out.

“Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.”

Theme Crisis

19Jun09

I’m in this whole blog renovation process. My room needs to be cleaned, books need to be thrown, clothes need to be kept in place, racks need to be organised but here I am!! Renovating my blogg!! So how this new theme?? Its inspired by twitter apparently. *ahem*

Good things about this theme is #1 – I don’t have to think about a dumbtitle everytime I feel like writing. In the past few days, I’ve left MANY posts as drafts just because I couldn’t think of appropritate titles for them. That_is_lame.

#2 – Easy posting. I can diretly post from the blog front page than having to go to the dashboard and next and next and next.


This blog is going from bad to worse after each post. [insert a sad faced sorry]. Time to keep it alive. Sorry to the few of you who visit my space. I’ve been a bad bad blogger, not visiting any of your sites and blah blah, you get it..

So I asked this question on twitter and was surprised to get so many replies.

#Q – Is it better to plan your future or just let things “happen” and stay happy?

@dineshbabu – Your future already gets planned by what you do today, so just focus on what you are doing today.

@aarthycrazy – It not a Q of whats better. Its more a Q of who you are? I myself love life as it happens. It always thinks of sumthing to surprise U =)

@airr – I used to plan and even have backup plans …. now I have given up on planning.

@sneezymelon – The latter. Anyday.

@funthusia – Well that’s like sayng whether it’s better to know ur husband before marriage or (marry anyone) & just let things ‘happen’ & stayhappy.

@primaveron – I guess it’s good to plan ur future, but sometimes plans may change, and you shud be okay with it =)

@parambir – After 6 months of effort in planning my life, I found that my earlier approach of letting things happen was a better one!

Listening to Stuck in a Moment- U2. And yeah, follow these guys! They’ll give you some great advice everytime you’re stuck =)

I know this is late, but I could not keep this to myself for long. MTV 2009 Awards sucked. It sucked so much that after an hour, I had to switch over to The Ellen’s show ( thats the worse thing that can happen to ANY show on television ). I’d rather see overly obese ladies win free toasters, if you know what I mean.

What was with Zac Efron’s hair? Did he come to the Awards night after having a helicopter landing crisis or something? The worst part was Twilight wining almost all the awards in every category. ( People chose Twilight over The Dark Knight! ) I know that the results are based on people’s votes, but this! Looks like everyone voted for Kirsten Stewart (yes yes, the anorexic mudblood ). She even dropped her popcorn can on the stage ( which, ahem, happened to be the “award” ). How embarrassing for someone like her. Like, she hadn’t embarrassed herself already after the pathetic thanking speech. She said “awesome” like, 3 times in a sentence! Disgrace to the teenage slang.

Ben Stiller is not the greatest comedian of all times. Why all the hype around him? I did not enjoy Night at the Museum one bit. Now, I hear, they’re making a sequel to that movie! (O_o) But I’m glad Jim Carey won.

MTV 2009 Awards was dominated by Disney and Twilight stars. Major crisis in the movie and music industry!! To top it all, Kings of Leon, Eminem’s performance! #fail #mtvfail #end
