Tag time.

So this is a random tag that I picked up from here.

I was about to go to sleep but then the idea of writing a full blown tag post is just so very better than trying to go to sleep in this weather. Its SO hot. why is it SO hot?!
Before I go further, Ad libber and Poojo.C, I know I am supposed to be doing this other GHM tag, and I will do that just after this one, I promise. I will not even wait for this post to get a minimum of 12 comments [like I always do].

So here we go...

It starts with,


Life Ten years ago:
My life revolved around the daily trips to school at six o'clock in the morning inside this wonderful,wonderful Box Rickshaw. I look back and I sigh a deep deep sigh coz , those were the days. I was actually small enough to fit inside those tiny box rickshaws. But then life goes on and people grow fat and then they remain that way but perhaps some of their double chin-ness withers away which gives people the false impression that they've grown thin. Anyhow, Ten years back I was ten years old and I thought I was so going to be a nurse when I grow up. Florence Nightingale types. I hated the fact that I did not have a "best-friend" and that I was friends with the people from another section and I found it extremely difficult to hang out with the people from my own section. And then I was friends with these people called Prachi, Ruchi and Namrata. So we had our awesome group of girls. Namrata-Adrita, Ruchi-Prachi. I loved my friends. They had matching names. I loved being the "blackboard monitor" coz that way, I had this amazing free access to chalks,which I could eat when I was hungry or bored and it also required me to write the H.W and C.W lists on the blackboard which I absolutely adored doing. My fixation with chalks and blackboards persists. On the 8th,9th and 10th of March we have the shooting dates for the much awaited degree film. One of my "crew-members" suggested that we carry chalks during the shoot coz it helps to maintain continuity while shooting. I am looking forward to the film shoot.


Life Five years ago.
I had come down to Calcutta after my I.C.S.E and I was sure that I was going to have a blast living in this city. I was right. Amen.
Calcutta, I associate with happiness and uselessness and the sheer happiness derived out of uselessness.

Life tomorrow.
I have to shampoo my hair. And you know that time of your life when you've just shampooed your hair and its not dry yet? Tomorrow,I will spend that span of time in tense anticipation of whether my hair will be unnecessarily frizzy-dry or amazingly straight n' dry.

Five locations I would love to run away to.
[These are the five places I would love exploring on my own]

1.Bombay.
2.Prinsep ghat.
3.South City Mall. [:-|]
4.Chowringhee. [I still don't know where Chowringhee is, will somebody please tell me where Chowringhee is?!]
5.Maybe Paris or London or New York City for that matter.


Five bad habbits I have.
1. I gossip a lot. Specially at times when I am supposed to be working or studying or whatever.

2. I tend to look down on people who study a lot. You know,the types whose lives revolve around notes and attendance and photocopies and syllabus and exams and suchlike. My life revolves around my blog and how many comments I get per post. Good enough. I was dangerously happy even as I typed the previous sentences.

3. I am elementarily lazy.

4. I keep on obsessing about my looks and weight issues.

5. Sometimes I am just a little too outspoken.


Five things I will never wear. [Or I can't wear,rather]

1. Skirts. Any type. I have knocking knees you see.

2. Eye-shadow. I mean the make-up item,of course. There can be other types of eye shadows na!..I mean the real eye shadow. You know !your REAL eye's shadow. ok. enough said, you get the point?!

3. Skinny jeans or cigarette butt jeans or whatever weird name they might have. coz, uh-huh the name is not enough to make me look skinny enough.

4. A lehenga-choli. I have something against Lehenga cholis. You know, they are like my very own nameless faceless enemies and I know not why so.

5. False eyelashes.

Five biggest joys at this moment.

1. For the first time EVER, one of my blog posts got 31 comments! YAY. It was like a dream come true.

2. I am making a film in which two of my online friends are acting. :D

3. My hair has grown really really long.

4. I have contact lenses and I don't have to wear my glasses anymore.

5. My nose is pierced and I am looking more like my mother nowadays.

Something to achieve by next year.
Confidence. Lots of it.

Something that impacted me last year.
My online social life.

What will I miss about 2007.
The feeling of being 19 years old.

Five things I want to do before I die.
I don't know. I am myopic.


I tag Nunkuda, RR, Poojo.C, Adlibber, Onnesha,The Girl with a zillion namesakes, Mishtizaa,The none,Noisy Autist,Amazing greys,Whats in a name, Arsenik and Electronic goose.

cigarette-butte jeans!!!???!!! God!!! What are they ???

chowrangee is the place where wellington road meets Victoria house. Now ask where these are?? :D

Clouds tagged me on this before. But , as I am not the one to ruminate on the past or plan for the future what doing this tag would do is draw a big big BLANK.

ooh nice! Your blog is so funny. I love the shampoo bit! rofl.

ArSENik said...

Wow, I somehow have this thing for auto rickshaws and rain.

From whatever little experience I have, I suggest taking a digital camera along for the shoot. Helps with continuity.

Plan to do the tag as part of my next post.

Hatturi Hanzo said...

I loved chalk. I threw them at other people. :-D

I know where Chowringhee Lane is. There's a place over there where you get wonderful beef curry and rice. :-)

Royal Bengal Tigress said...

Hello! We are both from the feline family but I do admit to owning a pair of skinny jeans. Unfortunately, they make my legs look like matchsticks. *sigh*

ad libber said...

Making a movie actually means carrying chalks?? OK, thats it, I found my vocation.

And I totally understand about the number of comments part, that seems to be the only thing which motivates me through out the day, the fact that I might have a new comment (I am a sad case).

Karthik Balasubramanian said...

how do you even make a movie with online friends?? I assumed u havent met them in person yet and somehow ur still making this movie..

Phemonoe said...

Amader class e onek e bose bose chalk kheto. I also tried, but didn't quite like the taste.

Llama said...

You have become the 'Comments Queen'. Your 20th comment already. I must say I'm jealous.

Remember to do the GHM tag though. Bhool-le cholbe na.

I do think you would have made a good nurse though. Though if you are as funny as your posts, your patients would have died laughing. Not a bad way to go actually.

@ What's in a Name?
Thank you for the info on Chowringhee. I have been wondering myself :P

dreamy said...

@ ad libber..no no you ARE not a sad case...why would you be that?!

@ karthik...well I have seen them..One of them at least..and I've seen their photographs..but that doesn't stop them from being "online" fraands :D


@ Phemonoe.. the taste varies from one box to another box of chalks. You've just been unlucky :D

@ Poojo... na na bhulbo na.. and nurse..sigh..aar howa holo na :D
