50
50 posts and I'm still at that point in a post where i find it hard to think of something to say..is it me or just the weather..?! Anyhoo...I've decided that this is one post that I WILL indeed finish..and not leave to rot as a draft.
Was bloghopping the other day and came me across this post by The Compulsive Confessor which swept me with a sudden whoosh of nostalgia...The Sweet valley series..oh..how we all thrived on the lives and loves of the Wakefield twins. The sweet ,innocent,smart,goody two shoes Elizabeth and the beautiful,fun,feisty Jessica..the hours we spent scouring the library to find the all-important next book of the series or even to find a book that we had NOT read,the hours we spent discussing if what had happened at prom night would make a difference,the hours we spent arguing if Liz or Jess was better...fun times,those were...what a big part of our pre-teen lives they occupied ...sometimes..I still have the urge to pick up an old book and start reading it all over again. When I check out the kid's section at bookstores nowadays..I hardly find any of them lying about..its MK & A's and the Princess Diaries all the way now...Its sad sometimes to think back and remember all those years..years that went by so easily without a care..where sweet valley and its counterparts (not nancy drew and hardy boys,mind you..i hated those..!) were all we had to worry about..the biggest dilemma being.. "oh shit,'she' read that one before me" or "i told you to let me borrow that first"..!!! Ah well..C'est la vie...!!! Life changes..we grow older,we grow wiser(some of us atleast ;) ) and we move on..move on to bigger things and hopefully to better things.....
the week that was..!!!
The past week has been pretty exciting. It started off all 'blah' with submissions and juries (thank god that's over!)..we had a geometry module this semester..and mind you it wasn't just some run of the mill geometry stuff you usually learn..it was actual hands on practical geometry.Anyway..for our final submission we were divided into groups of three and had to come come up with a product or just a model that showcased all that we had learnt in the module.So we (my group that is) came up with this idea for a lamp inspired by this chandelier that we saw on this awesome site. Its made up of an icosahedron, 20 triangular prisms topped up with 20 tetrahedrons (am i making this post incredibly boring..??) anyway..it has an opening through which we put some lights in..and believe,me when we turned those lights on..the effect was magical,if i do say so myself......so here it is...the coolest hanging lamp I've ever seen...ta da....

I know that it doesn't look that great here..but believe me..with the lights off it emits this warm glow that gives me goose bumps..!! (not kidding!!) So..that was Monday and Tuesday..Wednesday and Thursday were uneventful..hanging out at the ascendas food court and watching American Idol were the main things on the agenda...ooh...almost forgot..went for 'Music & Lyrics' on Thursday night..and it was awesome..!!! But then again I'm a die hard rom-com fan so,I'd obviously think that it was the best thing since the invention of coke..speaking of good movies..'The Holiday' and 'Just My Luck' are also a must watch for people with romantic comedies as the main course on their movie plate.(Did that last line sound dumb..?!) Moving on..Friday was an absolute blast..I was helping my cousin out at her stall at a carnival at my Alma Mater (school and not college in my case). We had this body tattoo and nail art stall..and the kids went crazy..I must have painted around 70 little blue butterfly's on their tiny hands..the little kids were sooo adorable...there was this one kid called Cheryl who was such a sweetheart..she was chattering away the entire time she was standing there..and saying all these incredibly cute things...one line that I remember is..."I love piiiiiiiiiinnk,aaaannnd I loooooooooovee purple and looooooove lelllllllow" *in the cutest voice a three year old can have*....!!!!!! So thats the basic roundup for the week...almost forgot....22nd was Silvara's birthday..so Happy belated Birthday Silvara..!!! Hope this year turns out great for you...which it obviously will..what with D-day coming up so fast and all ;)
I'm off to my friend's ranch tomorrow for a day of fun and frolic (corny..?! I think NOT..!!) in the sun...!!! Hope you guys have a great Sunday..!! The big five-o will be up in a few hours...hopefully......

RED..!!!!!!!

Excitement...!!!!
My cousin just got back from the UK and my dad had asked him to get me an iPod for my 18th birthday which is a few weeks away..!!! So here it is..right in front of me (a bit early,but who cares :) )..my brand new iPod nano PRODUCT (RED) which is the coolest,coolest piece of technology i've ever seen..!!!!!! Aaahhh...I'm sooo excited...i sat and put all my songs into it along with like 50 odd photos.
And to make it all the more exciting..its RED...i absolutely adore the colour red (my bike's red)..in addition to pink that is. Apple donates a part of the price you pay to a global fund that fights AIDS in Africa..which .means m
y iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED sounds good and does good at the same time(according to Apple thats is..lol) Anyway..the coolest part of this story is that my iPod is engraved at the back..!!! It says "Happy 18th Birthday A****h... love, Daddy"...now if thats not the most awesomest (my word..!!!) thing..I dont know what is..!And even though you probably (hopefully!!) never will read this...Thank you Daddy :) your the best [and not just because you got me an iPod ;) ;) ]

tv time..!!!!
I'm actually trying to speed things up a bit here because i want to reach my goal of 50 posts by my half year blogiversary (I swear that that's an actual word..!!) which is on the 24th of this month..hence the enthuness of posting twice in a single day..! Lets hope that this is one goal that I actually reach..!!!
American Idol yesterday was awesome..!!! The top 24 are picked and by the looks of it..they're all raring to go..! I have to say that this is the first season of American idol that I'm watcing (damn you CAS)..i mean obviously I've watched random episodes but I've never actually followed an entire seson..so I'm determined not to miss a single episode this season.!!!
I was really sad when the Indian brother and sister got separated..and i confess that I did cry..I mean it was so sad..how could you not cry..but i think the fact that they were half Indian was partly why i was sobbing..I was really rooting for the both of them to get into the top 24 but I guess I can settle for the fact that one of them is in..! So anyway..this post is just to record my favorites and see is the list changes in the coming weeks..!!

Guys..!! Sanjaya Malakar,Phil Stacy,Nick Pedro and Chris Sligh.
and the Girls..!! Lakisha Jones,Jordin Sparks,Antonella Barba and Alaina Alexander.
p.s: There's a rumour on the internet that the show is rigged and that Brandon Rogers is the next American Idol..!! We'll just have to wait and see now,wont we...
Thursday Thirteen #2
- Spectrum has got to be one of the most boring college culturals ever..!!! The past three days were so incredibly boring that i cant even begin to explain the excruciating pain i had to endure through the whole entire ordeal of sitting through two of the worst plays ever (little monkey theatre..u guys suck!! sorry for being so blunt but its the truth..please,please get someone too proofread your pathetic excuses for scripts next time...!!!..!!!) and not to mention the crappy compering..!
- Junkyard Groove is the coolest..!!! They actually played a song for yours truly..well,not exactly..they said it was for me only because i was screaming for it the entire evening..lol (follow the link and listen to 'Its Ok'..now..!!!)
- I discovered that i have an extremely low level of willpower!
- I got red streaks in my hair..!!!! yay..!!! :) :)
- I realized that I cant stay more than 3 days without the internet..no willpower again..! *a very disappointed me*
- The college canteen is a confirmed no-go zone..!
- Hindi dance music is the absolute worst..!!!!!!! (I seriously can-not stress on that enough)
- We did quadruples (that's supposedly like triples except with four people in my language!!) on my bike yesterday,something that i would have totally been against a couple of months back..things are changing..I'm beginning to actually feel like a college student these days with the whole 'I'm all for breaking the rules' attitude..! [well not completely..but to some extent..I'm more open to trying crazy things these days..!]
- I can drink a whole can of red bull in a single gulp! (ok fine..two gulps,pah..!)
- This year was my first valentine's day out..! :)
- I'm actually pretty funny..! We made these home videos in class of me imitating some people ,which were absolutely hilarious..if I do say so myself..but the thing is..I don't know if the actual act was funny or If i was..anyway..I don't particularly care,because I can laugh at myself and if you don't do that..then you better learn how to..cause it makes life so much simpler..!
- I discovered that the Sambhar-Idli at Palimar's is well worth the 19 bucks that you pay for it and that the KFC snacker is so not worth its 28 bucks..!
- I have crappy reflexes..you know like when some one throws something at you for you to catch..and most usually you wind up catching whatever it is..I usually dont..!

blogger block and my first thursday thirteen!!
College is getting tougher by the minute (not an exaggeration!!) and I'm beginning to feel like a pretender...like an imposter who knows what I'm doing when in reality I actually have no clue aboout what's going on..especially where art is concerned..(which I'm guessing isn't a good thing being an design student and all..!!!) When I started college eight months back..I had absolutely no idea what the next four years had in store for me..I mean no one ever knows..but this was different since the path that I had decided to take was one based on a last minute decision and something I'd never ever considered as a career option before...anyway,I hope things turn out for the best at the end of these three and a half gruelling years that lie ahead of me..I think i better stop talking about this becuase I start gettin anxious whenever I think about the future and start wondering about what it holds for me...we'll just have to wait and see now,wont we...
Onto a lighter topic...blogging these days has seriously become harder..I find myself writing a few lines and then totally abandoning my compose page because of the tons of distractions that you fellow bloggers [damn you awesome writers and your amazing posts ;) ] and the rest of the internet provide...the first line of this post was written 3 days back..so you get my drift right..??!!
Thought i'd start writing the 'Thursday Thirteen' meme every thursday..for those of you who dont know what that is..its where u write 13 points under a specific topic, for example.."13 thirteen things i dont understand about reality tv"..or "13 non edible things that i want to pop into my mouth at this very moment" or u could be less random and just do like a "13 things that scare the shit outta me" or a "13 things that i obsess about" post..! So here's my first thursday thirteen post...and jus to completely establish what a lazy bum I am..my first thursday thirteen post is a picture post...an idea i stole from the lovely Silvara's blog.
[today is saturday and the above paragraph was written on thursday the 8th of feb...but im gonna finish it anyway,even though it isn't thursday anymore]
So here it is.... Lemonade's Thursday Thirteen #1
(hover over the pictures to see whats written for each picture..or if ur jobless {which I'm pretty sure that you are since your here sitting at my blog in the first place}..u can actually click on the link and read the whole thing)

I blog.....because i want to!!
How much of work I'm lagging behind in..there's soo much to do..and i don't feel like doing any of it..!!!!!! (pretty normal for me..that's usually what I'm thinking about..!)
I said…
and still continue to say a lot of things that should not have been said....
I want to…
be the centre of someone's world... (stolen from 'the cousin's' blog..hope u never read this,but if you do,sorry D...but its the truth..!!)
I wish…
I could be there for people when they most need me.....
I hear…
only what I want to hear,unfortunately...
I wonder..
if whether the path that I'm taking will lead me to my destiny...(yes i believe in destiny,doesn't everybody..??!!!)
I Regret..
more than i should... :(
I am...
who i am...(cliched..i know..but its the truth..!!)
I dance..
very rarely!! Not a 'dancing' person at all..!!
I sing..
best when I'm in the bathroom...no, I'm not talking about the whole 'bathroom singer' thing..I just think that my voice sounds better when it echoes... :)
I cry..
for absolutely anything and everything...anytime and anywhere...
I am not always..
who people perceive me to be...I'm someone completely and totally different..
( If people who knew me knew that I write a blog , they would be very very surprised..! )
I write...
not because i think i can..but because i feel the need to document my feelings for the future.. (mainly for my grand kids to know how awesomely cool their grandma was ;) lol..why am I so freaking obsessed with this grand kid thing..??!!!)
I confuse...
very easily..!!!
I need..
to feel a sense of security in order to be happy...
And finally...
i think i need to get to bed..!!!For heaven's sake..I'm falling asleep in front of the computer..!!
P.S: This is a tag that i think i need to do periodically..say every six months or so..to truly evaluate and analyse what exactly I want and what exactly I'm gettin out of my life...
Today's verdict...not so good..better get a move on if I plan to becoming 'SOMEONE' in life..(which I do plan on becoming,by the way..!!! )

green and pink flowers...m gonna miss you.. :(

In case anyone was wondering if I had gotten fed up of my old template..I'd like you to know that I SO DID NOT..it was one of my favorite templates in the template world..and believe me I've seen ALOT of the template world..!!
Anyway...i came across this template and thought that it was beyond adorable..!! And felt that it was time for a change..I mean I'm sure I've made the most of that template than i possibly could have..it will be back on when I'm bored of this one though..(that line was just to console me..cause I'm sorta sad that its gone) That template was one which i had found after looking and looking and looking until I found one that i absolutely loved..! Anyway..this post is a little tribute to it(no,m not weird..i just really really liked my old template) Zoot,is this awesome woman whose blog is one thing that i have to stop by everyday and read cause no day of mine is complete without a dose of zootiness...so if your not reading her blog...u should..!! shit where was I....oh ya right..so Zoot designed the old template ,so if you want a super cool template,run along to her site and go get yourself a cool new template...just don't get my old one...(why...?? because its mine...trust me..I'm not being selfish.its just that when i get fed up of this..I'll probably go back to that one...so basically..DON'T GET THAT ONE..cause i will hunt you down and...blah,blah,blah...I'm in a slightly mad mood as usual in case you hadn't noticed..lol)
Alot of tweaking had to be done to this template here...i know the changes aren't great..but I am proud that I'm getting pretty nifty at this whole template thing..been wanting to learn how to design some (at least i think i can...I'm sure I have some aesthetics..being a design student and all ) but html is too damn complicated..so if anyone who comes across this post has any clue about designed templates..help me out..please..atleast send me a link or something if your too lazy to tell me yourself..lol...anyway...still got a few more hours of tweaking to get this thing to how i actually want it to look like...so will put up a snap when its done (even though u'll will probably see it on the site anyway)...aahhh...better get to it..or else its gonna take me a whole night...another night which I dont want to loose to sleeplessness...seriously..lately I've become a big time insomniac...its highly wierd because i could never stay up when i was younger to study and all the other crap that your supposed to do when your in the 10th and the 12th grade..!! Why the hell do i keep losing track of what I'm talkin about..pissing off,i say...(i know whats going on in that head of yours right now...weird,weird,weird..belive me..i know..u don't have to tell me)....so until i get this template just right...bubh-bye..!!!!
