Hello, welcome to some random bits and pieces of my life!

I’m a 21 year young girl from Bangalore, India. I started blogging in 2007, when in class 10. Presently, I’m an undergrad student majoring in biotechnology.
Priceless Junk is my personal space on the internet. I like conversations. Especially about opinions, perspectives, possibilities and the future. It is what keeps me going through the day. A wide range of things interests me. A hot cup of tea, the sound of rain on my balcony, the smell of sandalwood incense sticks, the calmness of the night and soulful music are a few of them. I wish to read more (often). I want to travel the world and make photographs. A week, a month or even a year may not be enough to achieve all that I’ve planned, but it gives me immense pleasure and satisfaction to achieve them. I am passionate about science and art. I believe that genuine and sincere education can take us a long way.
In August 2010, I founded an independent electronic publication called START magazine to showcase young Indian artists. I constitute one half of the Delhi vs Bangalore project. I upload my photographs on Tumblr.
Get in touch with me on twitter or e-mail me at priyaprakash391 at gmail dot com. Cheers!
i am enjoying~ ;)

And yeah.. it will be better if you would delete this comment after you read it.. :)
Pri – Pretty neat about me section. I read ur bucket list too – its not asking for much and its hilarious!
Usually the about me section tells you a lot about a person and this about me sections tells a hell lot if stuff. I like the fact that you are a rockstar – sad to see no mention of Kurt Cobain! My fav! :)
The “unperfect” life is cool – be that way!
You are one of a kind!
~RJ
@ Joel : You can assume to be any page you want!! :D Yeah sure, why not !! You have a great blog. You from Bangalore too right ?! Cool !! And no, I’m not deleting this comment ~!! Rock on !! :)
@ RJ : Thanku !! Now that you’ve mentioned it, I’ve put up my favourite Cobain quote !! And I love ‘Smells like Teen Spirit’ !!
You’ve really made my day though the comment !! Yayy!! Cheerss !! :D
Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! Cobain rocks! Btw when I was in college I always wanted to be this huge rockstar and penned down a few lyrics. Check this one out – http://lyrical-connexion.blogspot.com/2008/03/cobainism.html its ammateurish, but twas fun!
Smells like teen spirit is awesome and I like about a girl and lithium too!
Peace Love and Empathy – kurt rocks big time and so does pri!

Imperfection, though not an art by itself, it can grow into one with people like me n u… as for ur bucket-list… Drive it, don’t let it drive u!

@ Ankita : Hey, Thank You so much !! :D

Hey! I really like this blog of yours! Especially your entries and photos. Do you mind I exchange link? For your age I think your an amazing little writer… Love the things you write.
By the way, your user name : PRICELESSJUNK is MEGA funny. Loves it!
Um.. uh… I dunno if you’ve noticed this before, but the calendar widget in your sidebar reads “Caldender”…!!! :D :D :D :D
BUHUHUHHAHAHAHAHA!!! :D
@ mrdakota : Sure thing! Link me up anywhere you want! Btw, you havent linked you blog/webpage with the comment?
Thank you so much! You’ve made my day!! Priceless Junk is an oxymoron actually. Glad you liked it! Thanku!
@ Nikhil : Omg! Yes, I saw it now. When/How/where/How did sucha thing happen ? :-o You’re very observant you know! Bah! Changed it now…thank god.
God?? Bah! Thank me!!! :P :P :P
guess u got some work, u r tagged :p
http://visio159.com/2008/07/01/tag-season/
Haha! Nice header. :)
Btw, Bruce Dickinson has competition from the original screamer Rob Halford himself! :)
Heyyyy!!! Saw your comment.. Sorry my link didn’t show up! :D
It’s MRDAKOTA.WORDPRESS.COm ^^ would love to link you!
@ Nikhil : Lol, I did that on purpose. :P
@ T : Ohh !! Thanks for tagging me! Thats gonna take a long long time!
@ Ashish : Thanks man. Judas Priest vs Maiden? I prefer the later one. Plus, Bruce looks hot when he screams! :P
@ MrDakota : Hey! I checked out your blog! Its vast! Will comment asap!
I was just comparing the vocalists. But in an all out Band war, I put my money on my boys – Black Sabbath! :twisted:
I can’t comment on the Bruce being hot part though… he’s just another dude. :| :P
YOUR boys? Black Sabbath, YOUR boys?!! Ok. I used to listen to Ozzy all the time. Its all changed now. :|
About Bruce being hot,
Amen.
Alright, No.1 rule of blogging… never take anything I say literally. See I’m well known. :P I was referring them as my favourite band. Heh. And I’ve never heard Ozzy solo.. nor do I have any inclination, Ozzy = nothing without Iommi, Butler and Ward. :D
As for Bruce being hot [again] I probably would think like you if I was a girl but as I’m not… hes just another dude. :P
u have been tagged……again by me……
i wonder when u will do it…. :P
Hi
Came bloghopping…like yur blog a lot…
and one of the best About Me pages i ever read…ccha! why didnt i write this!? :D
Guess its to do with the name, because i find a lot of similarity in my character n yurs :D only, am not a rockstar….i prefer soft music :D :D
very lively blog! aing yu tu my blogroll!
@ Ashish : You havent heard Ozzy solo ? :-o
You havent heard Mama I’m coming home ?? Ok, Sabbath Boy, you rule !
@ Vivek : I wonder too !!
@ Scorpria : Hey! Thanks a lot!! :)
Well, we all are different and special in our own way, arent we ?
I was wondering if you could leave back your link too!! I don’t see any link here! How can I get to see your space?! :D
hi priya ,
after long time i was laughing today whole heartedly for 2-3 hrs . after reading all your moments and responses n reflexes abt (” faraday´s topic ” n vodka experience) from u n ur other frds (neha , sandeep , jeol………) just reminds me my schooling days n at same time inspires me to start my own blog some day . i feel you all have well balance of expression and thought to certain extent n making other´s happy just looking at ur expressions . at 26, in this way i am learning a lot too ……… the language , the style of expression to be attractive n audible from u all . keep going n have loads of smiles . pls dont stop ur studies , physics n maths n electromagnetics need your funny n harsh expressions . continue as long as you , u can succeed n they (faraday´s law n circuit laws) doest make u day dream in ur flikkering cobian night sleep .
gudluk
Hoi hoi….!!…..:)…..How things going out there….!!…??…Hope doing fine and best of luck for everything …..I think exams,practicals and much more is happening out there….!!….:)

What you’ve said about continuing with studies and physics is true. It all makes so much of sense. :D Good to hear that we all made you laugh for that loong! We never realise these things until you tell us!! :D It makes me feel really good now! Thanks again!
@ Artisticked : Thanks man…you seem to be busy too!! No new snaps, no new songs?!

Hi Priya,
Yours about me section is superb. Something very interesting. And for a little 17-year old girl, the things you posted are very trendy and cool.
If you find sometime visit my blog:
http://www.kanaguonline.wordpress.com.
I am just started blogging. So yours comments will be helpful in constructing my blog.
Hi Priya,
Really loved your blog…. I am not a blogger but I do write alot and also wish to start blogging sometime. Though I don’t think my blog’ll be half as good as yours. You really seem to be mature for your age and your writing style is extremely unique. Bloggers like you will make the internet a nicer place :)
Keep up the good work.
Regards.
@ Artisticked : Thats so cool…wow !!

Like the header :) nice.
@ Eerv – Yeah, we’ve got an awesome network around the blogoshpere !! Its makes blogging even more fun this way !! Thanks a lot !! Cheers !! :)
@ Chirag – Whoa !! Thanks !! :)
After a number of visits to your priceless junk-yard, I think I am going to add it to my blogroll. I like the new header. I don’t know if it is a problem with Google Chrome or with all browsers, but the About Me tab shows up only when you roll the mouse over it. Check it out.
@ The Illuminator – Thanks! About the header – The about Me tab was there all the time !! It was not visible coz the background colour was white ( same as the text colour ) =P
I’ve changed the header now, anyway !!
Hey! Cool blog..loved the header !
Will drop by again to read more stuff on your blog :)
Nice blog! Took me some searching across a blog on the lighter side. People apparently tend to reserve their darker and more disturbing thoughts for the blogosphere!
Nice blog.. Bookmarked you :)
Very witty blog and one about me which is being taken seriously by someone :)
Good work !!
Cheers
“I Like being “Un”perfect. ”

Came bloghopping from I don’t know where. ‘Priceless Junk’ attracted me and u sure do justify that…nice initial read!!
Impressive…
Rock , Guitar, Blog, Photography, Photoshop! No surprise if you find yourself talking to me in near future!

Your blog seems to be REALLY interesting (: And it seems to have a lot much common between us. I also have experience of 18 years at my credit (:
Adding you to my blog roll. Hoping to learn a lot from you!(:
Bless thee always.
I happend to go through your blog accidently when I was looking for some information. I am in my early thirties I got embrassed by your words like “fuck”, “suck”, “screwup” etc. Is these words common now in youths? or it is the generation gap that made me feel embrassing?
Kiran – Thanks a Lot! That video is funny and nice!
Alice – Thank You Alice =)
Spotlesssoul – Hey! Welcome to my Priceless Junk! =)
And geee, Thanks!! :D
Why havent to linked to your blog? I’d love to visit your space too!!
Bazeeth – Yes these words are very common in youths.
And yes, it must have been the generation gap that made you feel embarrassing.
Actually, early 30s is not that old. I know a lot of people of that age who are very casual and used to it.
You sound like a “brat”.. a water-splashing brat!
:)
Just dropped it here.. So I thought I should chip in as well!
Aww (:
Well, my blog is : http://www.spotlesssoul.wordpress.com
It was really my pleasure (: Be blessed (:
I so LOVE the second paragraph… (:
And 115 responses… wow… I never got that many ):
:P
M.M. – Hey! Thanks a Lot =]
.
Amyth – Woah! What does “water splashing brat” mean?? Huh uh O_o
Nobody is perfect….
You should only aim to be perfect in one thing… “being yourself”…
Nobody appreciates anything more than that~
Cheers
Nice photo stream you have… Your blog seems interesting
You are really a different girl from others. You have a very bright future,I am sure that you are going to make it.All the best for your future.Such a interesting character,i have ever seen.you are the one upon the billions in the world.
These little imperfections makes us more human. We’re not some android designed by God with no software malfunctioning at all! And ofcourse, the life would be so boring without PMSs. :P
Breath-taking photostream..
We share interests to make a diffence in this world. I’m starting a foundation to build a orphan home in India. To provide a home, shelter, education en medical care. We’re now building a website.. and I’d like to ask you if I can use your amazing photo’s? zenzihome@gmail.com

Hi,
I was curious what it would take to get a text link on your blog saying something like “Tungsten Wedding Bands” or “Tungsten Wedding Rings” with a hyperlink to our site (www.tungstenringsonline.com). We are a relatively new company and we are currently trying to improve our page ranking on Google. We operate on a small budget, and we would be more than willing to give you a tungsten ring from our site in exchange for a link. Let me know if this would be something that you would be interested in. Thanks for any help you can give us.
Thank You
Nick
