I.N.K.E.D. for L.I.F.E.

How did I forget to blog about this?? Man! The perils of getting older!

I got I.N.K.E.D for L.I.F.E ….

A birthday present from me to myself... Quite an overdue one at that! :P

I got a permanent tattoo done last month… Actually on April 30^th ;-) [Yes! I keep track of important dates like these too ;-)]. It’s something that I have wanted to get done for a long time now, read since 11^th standard or so.

You know what works? Telling all and sundry that you are going to get a tattoo done, and when and which part of your body you are going to get it done. I did that for a long time, except I did not tell anyone what I wanted and when I was going to get it done or even where I was going to get it inked. And then, they all got sick of me just saying it and not doing it. So I set a time and date and told everyone that… a slight variation! I agree! But the sheer pressure works! I lost count of how many people I told and then how many excuses I would have to give incase I chickened out. The lesser evil was to just get it done! And here it is!  :-) :-)

I.N.K.E.D for L.I.F.E. and Thrilled to bits about it…

The symbol below the dancer is that of TAURUS, my zodiac! And as for the dancer, people who know me will understand why I chose it! :-) 

An Urge to blog and coming up with a rambling!

Sometimes I get this undeniable urge to blog. Something like an itch that won’t go until you scratch it away. Only trouble is when I sit in front of the laptop and try to type something that sounds even remotely interesting, I draw a blank. Like RIGHT NOW!! But that urge is far from gone. So guaranteed that this is going to be a boring read!!

I know I am not a bad writer. But I suffer from a major complex when I end up reading other blogs, like this one – Tysonice. Or this one here – Shetalkslikejune. Makes me wonder why I can’t write like them! Funny, carefree and cares two hoots about who reads it. Some day! Maybe someday!

What are the odds that the minute I decide to start blogging regularly and hope that my Indirank shoots up, the good folks at Indiblogger decide that they want to upgrade the rank widget? So for the past 2 months, ever since I started posting regularly (Okie.. not regularly enuf, but still it is an improvement!!) there has been no change in my rank. Now I can only hope that it will shoot up like a rocket once the widget has been upgraded. Indiblogger, you listening??

Speaking of months, I had the best month in May. I wish all months were like May. :P it was my birthday month (sigh! A year older), my anniversary month (2 years now since I became Mrs.), a trip to Batam, some good appreciation at work, and a role change to Junior Project Manager.!! :-)

So yes! May was GREAT. I only hope the rest of the months take a hint from May and be as awesome as they can be. Oh! And I also saw ‘Maya Ravan’- the musical dance drama by Shobhana and her crew. I even spoke to her and got an autographed dvd of some of her other performances. Ok so it was only for like 40 seconds but I still spoke to her. And I am thrilled about it! And I got the Maya Ravan dvd also… which was out of stock almost everywhere I looked. But a dear friend got it from me… and now I am glad that I don’t have to watch it on youtube anymore… :-) And also, how good does it feel to have that title manager at the end of your role. :P I love it! Makes me feel all good and important and all. I am not concentrating too much on the junior part now ;)

Anyways, that’s about it!

I have rambled on enough!

Will try and post something more interesting next time! Hopefully! 

Guilty as charged!!

This one is HILARIOUS!! :-)

I am sure most of us if not all are guilty of something or the other in this list… In my case, guilty on a few counts ;-).

Read on and enjoy!! :-)

I am reproducing the post here…

Stop making fool of yourself

Can’t you sit simply and keep your hands and legs idle? What is your objective in life? To make others jealous? Then why you are simply keep on changing your profile picture? What is the reason? Come on tell me. I want to know the answer.

Agreed boss, you have gone abroad. Your 26th relative uncle is also proud of you. We are also happy only. That is why we even came to airport to say bye and all. But why you are killing us with your pictures?

Ok, I agree ki I have seen that place only in map and you have seen in real life. That’s all no? Every alternate day you are putting one new picture. What you want? You want all of us to press the ‘like’ and say “Wooowwwwww”, is it? Secretly you are monitoring the comments every minute, but like one lord, you will reply only after 4 days saying “Thanks guys!”.

See, that is also acceptable. You have spent so much money and gone there and so you want everybody to appreciate you. Understood. But why you are putting plants and trees and CATS (?!?!) as profile pictures? You have any common sense? Crazy man!

There is one more category. You will put the picture of your baby instead of your picture. I don’t even want to talk about those people.

Best is the ladies. If you convert your picture to black and white means, you suddenly will become good looking is it? People will look at you and think “Wow. Nice!” and send you friend request and all. I only know how you look.

As it is you were doing nothing here. You got married and you went there and again doing nothing only. What is there to be proud of? Every day, evvreee day you are updating on what you are cooking. “Today I made curd rice for my darrrlinggg hubby”.

Really? And that idiot husband will ‘like’ it and publicly kiss you. “Thank you wifey, mmuuaaahh”.

You are from India only no? Don’t you know such things are indecent and doing this in public place is not allowed? If you go out of India means immediately you are forgetting everything.

And then you are putting the pictures of your food. “Yummy!” you will put as title. Who knows how it tasted? Heights is, when some other idiot in some other country asks you for the recipe. Arey goose, you are using internet. Just Google and find out.

Now you tell me, when you were in India, have you cooked like this for ONE day? Your brother is also a gentleman only. Have you cooked like this for him? Hello husband, I am asking you also. When you were here, have you said “Mmmuahh” to your mother because you liked her food?

Of all the monkey pranks that you are playing from “abroad”, worst is when both you and your spouse act like you are always happy 24 hours and 365 days. “Had the best dinner ever at King Cole’s Oriental Palace at the 35th and 16th. Awesome Thai food!”

Just some Thai food only no? Why you need so much scene for that? India is closer to Thailand only.

Boss, in case you didn’t know already, here is the truth. Nobody is happy. How much ever money you earn, you will not be happy. You will only sit on the WC tapping your fingers and think, “Why I came here?”

If I say this truth, immediately you will flash your i-Products at me. For your kind information, iPad2 is also available here, that you know? So shut up and listen to me. Stop making fool of yourself.

Now you are thinking ki I am jealous and so only I am talking like this, no? See, till I also go somewhere and do all such things, I will talk like this only. What you can do?

Hilarious is an understatement! :-) :-). Here's one more in the same vein..!! :-) Brilliant humor, I say!
