The choice is made, the verdict is here

The news was out last week.........Archie Andrews proposes Veronica Lodge.

Many people, had issues with that, saying that Archie was ruthless and that he should've chosen Betty Cooper instead , etc etc....

But me? I was happy and not the least surprised, well it always seemed so obvious, that AA was totally smitten by VL. Why then would one assume that he would choose BC over VL? Moreover, VL has a better package to offer, and in this present day, anyone will opt for VL.

Moreover, I always liked Ms.Lodge and thought very highly of her. Sure she is shallow and boastful and of the brat type, but hey she's got the works going for her man, why shouldn't she use it? Atleast she is being honest about her fabulousness right!

Betty reminds me of Devdas, always sad and constantly hoping but never wins (well occasionally she does though, but only as second choice). The Betty types are too hypocritical and personally methinks they are just too tough to deal with. And I mean no offense btw.

Ultimately, what I mean to say is that I'm glad Archie chose Veronica and I'm sure they'll live happily ever after. The only sad part about this though is that, the comic will end (sobbing continuously!). I love the Archies collection, I always get them, I grew up reading them and never missed an issue back then (now it's a different story though). My comic reading will never be the same again.

So what do you think about Archie proposing Veronica and not Betty? Tell me more.

An Ode and a Salaam!

Over the weekend, we were in Disneyland(ok, I mean really!!). We were all so excited to be meeting up with Mickey Mouse and the rest of the gang, even my master was so eager all through he was like tickee bouse(o yes, that is how he addresses the most favorite mouse in the world!). So cute! So anyways, we were all geared up and all and mind you this was the first time me visiting Disneyland, so it was quite an experience for me and when I say that the rest of the theme parks are nowhere close to the experience at Disney, I mean it.......each and every word! It is like an entire city in itself, and the management and maintenance is just so unbelievable! Right from the parking lot attendants to the actual performers, I haven't seen a more disciplined and composed lot ever! And to top it off, the performers wowed me with their energy and zeal, patience and composure, and made a mental note to myself, learn Annie learn! In that heat, they delivered a show that was no less than a jam packed rock concert! And not even one aspect of it all went wrong(ok, I wasn't looking for any either). Annie is totally impressed!

A big round of applause to all the people working there and that includes the woman who collected our parking ticket to the men who directed us where to park and the one who reminded us where we were parked(Happy ,I think!) and to the balloon guy and the performers in the parade(Whew, don't you guys get exhausted ever?) and the numerous people who kept guiding people so that they can meet up with Mickey and Minnie Mouse and Pooh bear and Tigger, and the photographer who captures the moment when you do meet the characters, and the people who are dressed as them, and always being so enthusiastic about meeting every kind of person, coz afterall, the legendary characters reputation is dependent entirely on you. Also, to the security guards always trying to keep a check on everything around, the men and women behind the food stalls, and everyone else behind the incredible idea. Thank You for helping us make our happy memories and Thank You for keeping us safe and organized!

Let me tell you a secret....

...shhhhh......don't let it out or we'll be in trouble!!!

Around 1000 posts on my reader, gosh I didn't have the patience to go through them, I was so spooked. I had 2 options.....

Option #1: to actually read all of them

Option #2: "Mark all as Read"

hehehe......well, I took the easy way out and well, you might've guessed by now what was my preference. I feel so relieved, or do I feel guilty? Hmm, now don't you go rolling your eyes making it worse for me, anyways, it doesn't matter. 

Whatevs, I now am reading free. Btw, where is that book I ordered, it's been a week and hasn't arrived yet, hmph, time to check order status. I am soooo waiting for it, especially since I am done reading Love Story by Eric Segal. This is one book (oh wait the other is The Great Gatsby by Scott F. Fitzgerald, so that makes it 2)...ok I stand corrected, these are the 2 books that have been sittting in my bookshelf for so long and I was pretending they don't exist, for the simple reason that they are classics and love stories and are based in the 40' s - 60's and you know what the result of it would be.......sad ending and that would leave me sobbing to eternity. But, I finally did take up reading LS for the simple reason that I resolved, not to buy any more books until I am done with those that I already own. I cheated a bit, I admit, I read the ending before I even began(which is sooo not like me, coz I like the plot to develop at my own pace! somehow this book had me turning to the last page initially....YAWN!!). I knew the outcome, I knew she would die (oops sorry for those of you who haven't yet read it, spoiler) and I knew I wouldn't like it. To be classified as a classic, I don't quite agree. I thought the story was a-ok, the plot doesn't really showcase their love and at one point I was really doubtful if they were really in love! I wish that there was a little more verbage on their affection towards each other. The only thing that stood out for me was the hero of the book abusing and hating his father, maybe the title shud've been "Hate Story". So my review.....ehh 2 1/2 out of 5. I loved the cover of the book though. 

Now, I wonder when will the 'The Great Gatsby' be read.......I might though, last night I did bring back 2 books from the shelf, one among them is the above mentioned and the other is 'A Painted House' by John Grisham. I don't even remember buying the Grisham book, but nevertheless, it's been long since I read any of his lit., and I am excited about it too. My fave book collection is when my Mr. gifted me the entire Calvin and Hobbes Collector's edition. and the best part, it was a surprise!!! I don't think I was ever so happy on receiving a surprise gift, now he knows the perfect gifts for me come in the form of books and shoes.....and o yeah, chocolates, diamonds, flowers, wine, gadgets, rubies and all other gems, designer wear,  kitchen tools, and the list goes on .................( kya kare, the best things in life come in such lucrative packages)

Btw, I am so possessive and protective about my books and movies that I hate sharing and lending with anyone, even if I trust that person enough to take care of my books, I wont lend it. That's how much I love my books. Well, I did have some experiences in the past where I had to let go of some of my collection and that made me immensely dukhi, every book and every movie I have, comes with a tag of memories and stories and if that is lost, I lose those memories too. Hence, I am what I am. I am still old-fashioned when it comes to books, I still am not able to buy the concept of the Kindle, even though it's sleek, trendy, fast and savvy. Oh and did I tell you, my master took after me, when it comes to reading, the little guy loves his books and loves reading too, sometimes both of us take a book, plop ourselves onto the couch and read away to glory for atleast an hour at a stretch.

Wow, this turned out to be quite a long post, when all I wanted to really put forth was a little tiny secret, whew....good luck reading and if you are reading the entire thing then good job. 

Teen Taali *clap* *clap* *clap*

I wonder how SCOUT GIRL cartoon/drawing/art(or whatever u want to call in the previous post) would look?  

You know me......it's always about the girl....girl power!

So much in one!

Ah, where do I start blogging today! Maybe, that I really loved what Alicia Keys wore to the AMA's on Sunday, or maybe that I am disappointed Desperate Housewives didn't air, also considering the fact that the season would soon end, or maybe that I am really excited for Thanksgiving this year, or maybe that I am still a little spellbound seeing some pics from the Atlantis opening celebrations, or maybe that Roberto Cavalli's house has been designed to change colors as per his mood , or maybe that the book I am reading nowadays is the cause for my nightmares, now why are they interrupting my so-called short spells of beauty sleep is unreasonable. Well, I'm certainly looking forward to partying all this weekend, shake off some of those nightmarish dreams and horrid thoughts. 

I should start reading more classics, they are certainly more enigmatic and peaceful, or better yet Calvin and Hobbes comics, just humor and antics from a 6 year old boy and his stuffed tiger, so imaginative, yet so discreetly hilarious. That reminds me, I loved Golmaal Returns, I thought it was just nonsensical sans a story/plot yet it renders its dose of comedy which I daresay is slapstick and total mass. It's good to see one of those kinds in a long time, the last I can think of is Partner. It's good to unwind all the stress and issues that we have to deal with, by watching these kind of movies every once in a while. By now you must've guessed my devotion towards Bollywood. Nothing appeals to me more than the tinseltown movies. Love them and proud to be able to comprehend them. I'm not a big fan of Aamir Khan's, but that doesn't mean I don't watch his movies, his Ghajini 6 pack abs are not working for me, I think it's just makeover gone completely wrong, of course his face looks a lot better now that he's lost weight, but abs are a big nono, I still believe SRK did a better job at toning his body. So Mr.Perfectionist and his fans, sorry to point that out, but that's just my point of view. Now, I am eager to watch Surya in his toned avatar. Also, the screenplay of the movie Rock On has been selected to be a part of the Oscar Library archives so that it is available for research to other film-related personnel. Some other movie scripts that are already in are Lagaan, Devdas, Munnabhai M.B.B.S, Kal Ho Na Ho, Chak De India, Sarkar Raj and Gandhi My Father. So did I deliver your dose of news for today?

On that note, I wish all my friends a very very Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Holidays! Please do write in to tell me how you spent them.
