The Ten Day Challenge: Day 4 - Seven Wants!!

This one I am going to enjoy writing. :P The wants are in no specific order and just ones that popped into my head RIGHT NOW. I have a lot more desires that are just waiting to be fulfilled. :-) Anyone listening up there??   SEVEN WANTS 1.     Go back to India for a vacation. Like  RIGHT NOW  if I could! For a looooonnnnnnggg vacation! I miss my home! :( It ’ s been AGES since I went home! 2.     To learn dance from Shobhana. I have heard that she is a tough teacher but I love her style of dancing. Also to keep learning dancing! 3.     All the books in my wishlist. (And that is one long list I tell you!) 4.     A room in my future house which is big enough to hold all my books, have enough space to dance, and is done entirely in shades of colors that I love and lots of windows and is on the topmost floor. 5.     Small holidays every year, 2-...

The Ten Day Challenge: Day 3 - Eight Fears!

Onto day 3 of the challenge (Okie! Its day 5!! I know! You don ’ t have to point it out again saying I missed 2 days! Hmmppff!!) Anyways day 3 of the ten day challenge is to write about  EIGHT FEARS You know, I wish I could be all brave and mighty and say that I fear nothing. But unfortunately that ’ s not the case. I would love for it to be, but never mind! Fear 1 : Losing my family or something happening to any of them! I constantly am scared of this, but I tend to keep a low profile about it. Fear 2:  I will say this yet again. FEAR OF LIZARDS. Also add irritation and annoyance and exasperation at seeing one of those slimy creatures. BLEH!! Scoliodentosaurophobia – that ’ s what it is called. I just found out. And the very word sounds bad-ass scary! And I am not even sure if it ’ s true! Closest that I came to was Herpetaphobia which is fear of reptiles. Mine is only lizards so well … Enough on this, really! Fear 3:  Water above my head! No I don ’ t have a name fo...

The Ten Day Challenge: Day 2 - Nine Loves!

So the 10-day challenge turned out to be a downer eh! I am sure that ’ s what you all are thinking! She just says these things and never gets around to doing it. Ha! Here ’ s where you guys are mistaken! This time I have a valid excuse! No internet at home. And I can ’ t type blogs like these on my phone however smart it is! It ’ s a big pain! We painted our house over the weekend. And that ’ s a story for a separate post. Suffice to say, house looks like a tambrahm wedding card! So getting on with the ten-day challenge! To make up for the lost time... Lets get started shall we … Day 2 – Ten day challenge – NINE LOVES 1.     My Family – of course this goes without saying. 2.     Friends – Some of them are absolute gems! Some know exactly what to say to bring a smile on my face. Some know when to stop talking and when just to let me rant and rave. Some are the ones that I call on at any given point of day and night and they would s...

The 10-day Challenge: Day 1 - Ten Secrets!

I came across this on  Preeti ’ s   blog. The 10-day challenge post! To write 10  secrets , 9  loves , 8  fears , 7  wants , 6  places , 5  foods , 4  books , 3  films , 2  songs , and 1  picture  of yourself!  Need I say more? It ’ s going to make sure I blog regularly for 10 days, albeit about myself (but then who doesn ’ t like talking about themselves ;-) ) … win-win situation for me if you look at it! ;-) So without much further ado … TEN SECRETS ABOUT MYSELF Well... not so much secrets as random facts! But what the heck! Any reason to blog … especially now that blog rank has taken a huge dive!! Here we go! 1.     I don ’ t like the skin that forms on the top of milk. Or any beverage that uses milk. I loathe it. It makes me want to puke. 2.     I hate lizards. I am petrified if they are anywhere in the room. I am constantly on alert if I catch sight of them a...

The nostalgic meme!!

Yes I succumbed to doing a tag! So much for will-power! Sigh!! Ripped this from “ Sunday Stealing ”… Who in turn stole it from Emily Barton who I read came up with this meme / tag herself! I am in a bit of a nostalgic mood and this one is perfect I guess for this situation when you are nostalgic and you feel like writing but you can ’ t think of anything to write … .. So there you go!! Emily ’ s Rules: Depending on your age, go back 10, 15, 20, or even more years. Tell us how many years back you have traveled and why. Pretend you have met yourself during that era, and tell us where you are. You only have one “ date ” with this former self. Answer these questions. Okay, as we start, what year is it and how old are you? Going back 10 years into year 2001 and I am back to being a pesky, impertinent 17 year old! Yes! Some things haven ’ t changed in 10 years time … Why 10 years back? I think there ’ s a whole lot of stuff about me that has changed in these past 10 years … much more than...
