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.

The secret life of........

What's more happening than the game itself? behind the scene action. And now with the IPL season almost halfway through, tell me atleast one person who is as eager to watch the matches as compared to the previous year? I believe there are far few. What goes on with a cricketer or the team management was always an inside thing and they have always maintained their privacy that movie celebs can't even dream of. But now the mole in the KKR team (or that's what he/she claims to be!) is exposing it all with the sensational and obvious name, FIPLP ( I haven't given the name in it's entirety coz I don't want that traffic). Everyone in the management, staff and the team are in total fear of what might be revealed that is related to them, am sure it's quite amusing to the person who is actually blogging about this, might be like a mini movie.

But as Shobha De puts it, when film personalities are prepared for the media exposure, it's time for the cricketers also to deal with the same. Afterall, Bollywood and cricket are the two most popular passtimes/fields in the Indian sub-continent.

So what I want to say is that whoever it is, I'm loving his/her writing, so are the thouands of other people. And that person has got some really innovative names for them all, I just couldn't stop smiling as I was reading through. Although, I so wish he/she wouldn't reveal their identity by the end of the tournament(as he claimed he would), I wish they would continue blogging, if not for IPL. Total tp hain yeh blog.

Do visit that blog and see for yourself what I mean by complete entertainment, it's more captivating than the game itself. Do tell me what you think of it 

Additionally, let's give a huge round of applause to the wonderful world of blogging! More on that later.

Do come back to tell me your opinion.

Have a good day y'all and an even better weekend.

I was fooled!

So yesterday was April Fool's day right (hah, as if you didn't know that!) and moi was fooled once, by Gmail(only Google can fool me!! OKok enough boasting)! Yep, I thought the Auto Pilot thingy was for real, I think I was trying to add that feature for almost a half hour, then I forgot about it. But innit weird that new additions were being showcased on the Gmail homepage, when they actually update on the GMail/Google blog? How come I didn't think about it. Anyhoodle, so that was the only one time I got fooled yesterday. 

It's a good thing I didn't twitter about my frustration with Auto Pilot from Gmail, else I would've looked no lesser than a fool............well, if you ask me why am I blogging about it now, wouldn't this also be similar to twittering? It would, but now that it's over and I confessed, for some lame reason its better and funnier. But doing it ignorantly would just be foolish. Yeah, some weirdo logic by me!

Tell me if you were also a victim of an April Fool's Day prank? I want to know.

Phonetically speaking

A word that keeps bothering me or rather throwing me into an eternal state of complexity - ESCAPE!

Why.....? you ask? 

Well, here's the explanation.....brace yourselves, coz here it comes....

When I'm driving, or whatever the hell I'm doing, I have a rather weird habit of adding up the  numbers I see or forming words from the words that are in my visibility range. I do the math like it's nobody business and I play a game of word twist in my mind at the speed of lightning......haha alright, at your request no more bragging(aww.....such a spoiler!). 

Anyhoodle....now let's sum up both the points....Driving + weird habit: Do you get it now?

No? yeah well........didn't think so......you need to have brains like mine to interpret my words, which clearly is lacking in your ability. Hey Bhagwaan, here I go taking a detour again!

Okok, before you guys beat me up (hehe, which is highly impossible, coz you can't)......

Driving = looking at car make, model, number/name plate

Weird Habit = adding and twisting words.

So that led to a vehicle which was ahead of me in a single lane road and I had no choice but to follow it(ah, so much despair!). In the meanwhile, being in the weird habit that I have, I started exploring the vehicle and my sight fell on it's model. 
Do you get it atleast now? Huh..........God! Y O Y????

So, I keep driving and  kept thinking what in the world is that car. I know it's a FORD, but I cannot figure out the model....still pondering. Reached home, still pondering.......kept doing my chores, still pondering. Then I forgot. 

Again, next day, started pondering again (can anyone suggest any other word, for pondering? it's getting on my nerves now!) 

This went on for a day or 2 I don't quite remember. Ultimately, it hit me, just like how Newton was hit by the falling apple (*giggles*, yup me is comparing moi to Newton.......grêle newton!)(thanks to Google translator, I would've never known how to say Hail Newton! in French)

That word E-S-C-A-P-E meant ESCAPE and not ES-CAPE (read...ess-kah-pay)..........Whew *wiping forehead*

Man, that was like solving one of the mysteries of the universe!

Well, being the smart being that I am, the same thing happened to me again, but this time, it took me just a few minutes to realise my linguistic skills are not exactly that bad!

The one flaw in women

Before I get started on the topic at hand, let me brief you on my time crunches....I had to take a moment today, just so that I can reach out to you people. I've been so immersed in work and at home, that I couldn't get to blog the last few days, so my due apologies. Although, I'm beginning to think that maybe I better stop apologising else, "SORRY" might soon become a word in my vocab, that doesn't really mean what it should've. I believe that when you talk, do it with a passion, so much so that your listener is totally enchanted, I don't know how much of that I actually implement.

FYI - The person who sent me this email, no offense to you, I'm just putting forward something that has been on my mind for a very long time now, and this email from you has made it a lot easier to launch my view. So, I plead you.....if you are reading this, don't take offense, it has nothing to do with you! Whew...now that I got that done, let's get to the point.

Going back to the issue, for starters, I got an email this morning, which made me go hmmmm......

This email is meant to remind us women what we are made of etc etc...BS..........I was like, "o Yeah, tell that to those hooligans calling themselves the 'Moral Police' , aka Shri Ram Sene". This is just irony at its best, I believe. I wish I had that Muthalik guy's email(wonder if he is allowed to use modern technology!!), I would surely forward it to him. My guess, he would hunt down all those people who have been forwarding this email and then think of someway to abuse them....imagine him doing that! ROFL!

Anyhoodle, I'll state my point of view first and then I'll showcase the contents of the email to you.

My first reaction on reading it was WTF? which world are we living in? Did someone hit a rewind button or something? I for one, am not that kind of a woman, I am a woman of today, I know what I want and I don't believe in slaving it out. I believe in equality of labor, love, and life, who says a woman is meant for just the assigned stuff, ofcourse we do that and a lot more too. But, if I'm angry, then the person (well, usually it's my hubs), sees the worst of me, when I'm sad, and happy like wise too.....but I'm not who will smile when I'm clearly so upset. I'm sure a lot of women I know are like me too, ofcourse there are still some girls, who are yet to come out of their cocoon, but in my gen, the word is, woman means power and equality. And I for one, am not willing to let go of it, coz I need to survive in this fast-paced world, just like any one else. So the content ends with the saying, "there is one flaw in women.....and it is they forget their worth". I went ballistic...............WHAT@$&*^^!#@ , haven't I said enough already?

Here, read it for yourself, and please tell me what you think about it. I might be wrong in someways, and I want to hear your opinion. Also, I would like to add, that in this day and age, even guys would agree with equality of men and women, don't you?

The One Flaw In Women 
 
By the time the Lord  made woman, 
He was into his sixth day of working overtime. 
An angel  appeared and said, 
'Why are you spending so much time on this one?' 
And  the Lord answered, 'Have you seen my spec sheet on her? 
She has to be  completely washable, but not plastic, 
have over 200 movable parts, all  replaceable 
and able to run on diet coke and leftovers, 
have a lap that  can hold four children at one time, 
have a kiss that t can cure anything from  a scraped knee to a broken heart-and she will do everything with only two  hands.' 
 
The angel was astounded at the requirements. 
'Only two  hands!? No way! 
And that's just on the standard model? 
That's too much  work for one day. 
Wait until tomorrow to finish.' 
 
'But I won't, '  the Lord protested. 
'I am so close to finishing this creation that is so  close to my own heart. 
She already heals herself when she is sick AND can work 18 hour days.' 
 
The angel moved closer and touched  the woman. 
'But you have made her so soft, Lord.' 
 
'She is soft,' the  Lord agreed, 
' but I have also made her tough. 
You have no  idea what she can endure or accomplish.' 
 
'Will she be able to think? ', asked the angel. 
 
The Lord replied, 
'Not only will  she be able to think, 
she will be able to reason and  negotiate.' 
The angel then noticed something, 
and reaching  out, touched the woman's cheek. 
'Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this  model. 
I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one.' 
 
'That's not a leak,' the Lord corrected, 
' that's a  tear!' 
'What's the tear for?' the angel asked. 
 
The Lord said, 'The  tear is her way of expressing her joy, 
her sorrow, her pain,  her disappointment, her love, 
her loneliness, her grief  and her pride.' 
The angel was impressed. 
'You are a genius, Lord. You  thought of everything! 
Woman is truly amazing.' 
 
And she is! 
Women have strengths that amaze men. 
They bear hardships and they carry  burdens, 
but they hold happiness, love and joy. 
They smile  when they want to scream. 
They sing when they want to cry. 
They cry when  they are happy 
and laugh when they are nervous. 
They  fight for what they believe in. 
They stand up to injustice. 
They don't take 'no' for an answer 
when they  believe there is a better solution. 
They go without so their  family can have. 
They go to the doctor with a frightened  friend. 
They love unconditionally. 
They cry  when their children excel 
and cheer when their friends get  awards. 
They are happy when they hear about a birth or a  wedding. 
Their hearts break when a friend dies. 
They grieve at the loss of a family member, 
yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. 
They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart. 
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors. 
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or  e-mail you 
to show how much they care about you. 
The  heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning. 
They  bring joy, hope and love. 
They have compassion and ideals. 
They give moral support to their family and friends. 
Women have vital things to say and everything to give 
 
HOWEVER,  IF THERE IS ONE TINY FLAW IN WOMEN, 
 
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

 

PLEASE pass this  along to your friends and relatives 
to remind them just  how amazing they are. 

Humor for the day

Writing's Powerful Message

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed a desire to become a "great" writer.

When asked to define "great" he said "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, wail, howl in pain, desperation, and anger!"

He now works for Microsoft writing error messages.

The irony..

A cigarette butt shaped cigarette butt disposal.......but ofcourse. What else did you think that was?

See you can even spot one in it...nono not me, I don't smoke you know.

All in good humor to brighten up your day!

Why we Indians can’t be terrorists ?

1. We are always late, we would have missed all 4 flights.

2. We would talk loudly and bring attention to ourselves.

3. With free food & drinks on the plane, we would forget why we’re there

4. We talk with our hands; therefore we would have to put our weapons down.

5. We would all want to fly the plane.

6. We would argue and start a fight in the plane.

7. We can’t keep a secret, we would have told everyone a week before doing it.

8. We would have put our country’s flag on the windshield. 

9. We would have postponed the mission because a cricket match was going on that day

10. We would all have fallen over each other to be in the photograph being taken with one of the hostages

Again, I take it as a compliment, so before y'all start protesting and all.....I hope you woke up on the funny side of the bed:)

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.
