the t-tag

as stated in previous post, i used to not love tags a lot. somehow i found them a way of spamming and somewhat sometimes annoying too. but my perspective towards them has changed. i don't dislike them now, although i am not sure, why.

thinking about them, i was wondering why they aren't different. i mean i have seen a lot of tags and some of them are really different and interesting read but i wanted to do something different.

so i devised this tag. maybe this has been done earlier as well [given the myraid blogs that are live on internet].

so, let's call it

the t-tag

and let us see how people like it.

so what we have to do is we have to post five theme pictures along with a comment as to why did you decide on that particular picture. thus the tag would look like the following:-

1. most desirable celebrity

my comment - don't speak, just look

2. want to do this one day

comment - i am as scared as attracted

3. want to visit this place


comment - i always wanted to go to nude beaches but i guess i that still can't beat the beauty here

4. random favorite


comment - kids are so true

5. i was tagged by burf [post the picture of the place where you were tagged, and if you picked up the tag yourself then the picture of the place you picked it from]. how do you do this? [okie, this is very simple. maximize the blog window where your name appears in the tag list and click the key "Print Screen" or "Prt Scrn" on your keyboard. this is typically after F12 key. then click Start - Programs - Accessories - Paint and click Edit - Paste - Yes in Paint. then save the file as jpeg or jpg and upload it - simple :D]


comment - it has to be burfi's idea ;)

And at last, as usual,

[an interactive thing is better thing. so i am making the following list not-exactly-but-a-bit interactive. i will record here who has done the tag :D:D]

People I tag:-

burf [that is - myself] :D

crushing, downloading and uploading

a very important tip given to me by prashant, a dear friend - not the normal prashant as some of you might know him, this is another prashant. so what he told me was, "if you are going out and foresee a making-out session, then don't wear ultra short undershorts and/or skin-fitting jeans lest your testicles get crushed because then they would ache the night long [same feeling when you get hit by the ball while playing cricket on the abguard]." A very important and logical tip, i must say. if you people have any such tips, then please send them my way [alongwith the wishes that i have get a lot of chances to put those tips to practice in future]; prove yourself good friends :p

another technical update, i downloaded flock yesterday, i am currently getting a feel of it. it is a web-browser, kind of modeled on firefox but has some nice features that support blogging, syndication and picture sharing.

a bad news is that all the good WC matches are being scheduled at midnight IST :( also, there is an indian in there. i find french team stupid and worthless. but look at the loyalty feeling, as soon as i came to know that that indian is in the french team, i am starting to get a good feel for the team...

jo sota hai, wo khota hai

as the title suggest, this would be a post on perils of over-sleeping. i would like to justify the same by a real-life example that happened yesterday.

first, the reasons why it initiated a post:-

1. i had been really looking forward to the meet this fellow blogger.
2. i cancelled a trip to lajpat nagar with mom because of this meet.
3. i cancelled a movie session with manu because of this trip. it was manu's b'day.
4. i got scolded by mom for not helping her much in household chores and a cold war ensued.
5. i cancelled watching my favorite team's opening match of the world cup.

and still the meet didn't happen.

why?, u ask...

because i overslept. i overslept for 20 minutes. :( :( :(

don't crucify a person who does not want to harm you

i don't think it is very nice of you to crucify someone over something he said which bit you and that too when there was a full-time laughter session on the roll. and especially when he does not know about the background of that bite.




i found a nice site on white water rafting. browse this. some amazing pictures of the spots which attract you and scare you at the same time.

i guess everyone should make money in dollars so that they can atleast be able to see the their top 5 favorite places on earth.

likes and dislikes and the weekend

sometimes i think i don't know what i like or dislike. because these days i seem to be liking what i think i don't really like.

first of them all, the weather. this gone weekend, yesterday and day before, that it - it has been cloudy. and i have kind of enjoyed it. i mean i always associate clouds with grey with gloom with unhappiness. but while i didn't stand and appreciate the beauty of the climate as such [as i was busy completing all the jobs pending, which i promised my mom that i will], i was feeling good about the clouds which were looking down while i was driving and stuff.

did all the pending jobs on saturday with mom. first half was gone fast and i was happy. it feels good when you feel less worthless on account of doing nothing. it took whole first-half of saturday. i never feel like working on sundays. mom was somehow angry so i got up and did a bit of stuff which regained her spirits. late in the afternoon went to watch the da vinci code. it was not as good as the novel, but better nonetheless. it would be wrong to compare both the mediums.

tautou looked thin but hot. this brings me to the second thing regarding my likes and dislikes. i think if you've got style you can overshadow someone who is more beautiful. that's what exactly that babe was doing, when at pvr. she was very thin [you know what i mean, right? ;)] and she was simple, jeans and tees but she had a way of carrying herself, very loose and very cool. nothing rigid, no uptightness, but the confidence and control with i-know-i-am-hot-but-you-will-get-double-the-brownie-points-for-appreciating-me,-baby kinds :D

i had alice at the back of my mind, but she didn't call - maybe she was very busy. it has been 1 hour since i reached office and now, i should look around for some work :p

it is easy

it is so easy to be sad. you just have to look back at a painful memory and you are feeling as if that instance in time has never ceased to be with you. you read a piece which says how painful the writer is or how painful the writing is and you can find your own pain of loosing someone in between those lines. you see a picture of a sad old man and you wonder whether one day will bring that melancholy to your reflection. pain has a way about it. it makes you solitary. you feel you are alone even when there are folks sitting in the next room and friends just an address book away. from where does that pain comes? why does that feeling of solitude take over you? is it becasue the death and misery and unhappiness in the world is trying to balance itself againt our individual efforts to find a smile?

(c) some places are good tourist places

since learning about these web releases, i have been going through some commercial company websites and one of these websites had this release about importance of orlando from a population perspective. they claim that orlando is one of the most growing spot in the whole USA. it receives one of the top most number of tourists and all its counties are flourishing on account of that. it informs you about the lakes, touristy spots and all the activities that you can partake in these place. it at the same time encourages people to orlando vacation home rental schemes which they claim would be helpful in the growth of a family.

age and rains

there are some things on my mind:-

1. kids these days look so much more matured than we did when we were their age. and it hasn't been that long. i mean you look at kids seeking admission in DU and those in colleges as well. i guess we [me, my classmates, our juniors, even seniors] looked so very younger as compared to their faces. i guess, when in college we looked like those kids who today look like in 7th, 8th or 9th standards. is it somehow indicative of anything?

2. today i realised i like rains a particular way. i mean i liked them that ways but now i kind of know how to define i like them. i like rains while driving. because inside it is all clean and tidy and still i am so close to rains and on roads or near to the nature and moving too at the same time. you can get them while watching rain at home. but then you feel solitary...

(c) isn't gold important?

gold has always been an important part of human psyche. it might not be as important tool world over but it has been close to heart of indians always. we have always seen our mom and dad finding reasons to buy gold all the time.

but i guess it is not just important to we indians, all the people world-over value gold as investment opportunity. which is why this company called monex has done a web release where they are offering gold at competitive rates and asking and encouraging people to invest in gold. sounds good to me. my only concern is if they sell genuine gold - as in the carat claimed and in actual are same :p

(c) about car insurance

i have just heard about this new concept of web-marketing, that is web releases. i guess, this is some way of cost-cutting on your marketing specndings when you make some kind of announcements on web about your activities.

there is this company called GEICO in California who have done some web-release where these people are quoting some national insurance crime bureau's reports and informing people about car-theafts and the importance of have a car insurance. i guess they are some marketing agents or maybe they have their own insurance agency. i call feel that because they are asking to compare car insurance while giving some important tips to the car owners at the same time.

but i like some tips from their web release nonetheless. never leave valuables visible inside your car.

normal life

not have much or special to write about...

will just mention the things that are taking a little space in my huge mind ;)

1. i am still not happy about the reservation situation, though i am hopeful that that 13 men committie would do something really good about it.
2. i usually forget to bring my drawer keys like I did today.
3. even if you see beautiful faces and lovely bodies while coming to office in the morning, it is not a guarantee of it passing as a nice day.

and i have to do that tag by 'me' for which i am not following all the rules [my style ;) :p]. so i've to write about 6 weird things about me:-
1. i never seem to recall anything when required
2. i insist on singing even when i know that slow motion is faster than my singing
3. i hate people staring at the girl i am staring at
4. i always wonder that if i would lift a baby, it would fall
5. i seem to suffer from autophobia
6. i can't pee in public loo if there are people taking loud, i need to concentrate ;)
