I-Me-Myself Tag

Thanks Jinguchakka for waking me up :-) Here I go

I am thinking about...
taking up swimming lessons every weekend

I said...
"I don't need a home loan" to the ICICI guy who called just now

I want to...
go to Chennai right now

I wish...
I could curl up in bed right now with a good book

I miss...
being an unearning member of the society, when I could guiltlessly let others pay for my stuff

I hear...
my cubicle neighbour's ringtone right now

I wonder...
if I am really as good as I think I am

I regret...
all the things I said about Hyderbad before I came here

I am...
usually a nice girl :-)

I dance...
to my own song when no-one's in the room

I sing...
"I feel pretty, oh so pretty" atleast once everyday

I cry...
when I have not finished things I am supposed to have, but I haven't due to laziness

I am not always...
gossipy, but when I call up N we both talk like a pair of cats :-)

I write...
my name in all possible styles during every boring meeting

I confuse...
myself a lot over silly decisions like where to go for lunch

I need...
an iPod right here, right now :-)

I should try...
to get started on things instead of waiting till the last minute to do so

I finish...
reading the Readers' Digest the very day I get them

I tag...

Blasts from the Life of Janani Sundarrajan

* I want an ipod, I want an ipod, I want an ipod, I want an ipod, I want an ipod, I want an ipod, I want an ipod, I want an ipod, I want an ipod, I want an ipod, I want an ipod, I want an ipod, I want an ipod, I want an ipod, I want an ipod, I want an ipod, I want an ipod! And I want something witty engraved on it too. Right now I have thought of just "Janani Listens", so people help me here.

* Kiwi cheese cake sucks, bigtime! Note to self: Stick to ordering chocolate variants for dessert

* Moi is planning to start a walking regimen from tomorrow. So wish me luck to wake up at 7 every morning.

* I want an ipod. Have I said that already?

* Mahesh babu rules (even if he does look a tad feminine in Murari)

* It's been more than 2 weeks since I read a book. Now that I have a cool night light and all thanks to dear ol S, I am raring to buy a book. Any suggestions? I am thinking of Shantaram.

* And S, start your blog already!!!

That's all folks! :-)

TOW I Hate USA

* I hate it that all incoming calls are charged

* I hate it for the the different timezones (I woke up my Manni and cousin at 6 on a Sunday morning 'coz I messed up timezones)

* I hate it that thamizh movies are released there but not in Hyderabad

* I hate the fact that though it is easy to send birthday cakes from US to India, it is close to impossible to accomplish the opposite

* I hate the Americans' inability to understand my English

I HATE AMERICA!!!!!

P.S - Seriously I have bigger and better grouses against USA and some NRIs. But that shall wait until suitable time

Yes, It's Me

No, your eyes are not playing a trick. The cobwebs are off and here's a shiny new post. :-)

First things first, Happy Birthday S! Hope you have a blast today!

Since my creative juices are all dried out and this is going to be another the story of my life kinda post.

I suppose I could tell you about this thing that happened that restored my faith back in humanity. I went to this petrol station on my way back home, filled my tank up and then realised my wallet was back in office. Tears threatened to come rushing out and I was wondering which vetti guy to call to make him get my wallet. Apparently my show of histronics talked volumes and the guy there realised I had no money. And immediatly he asked me not worry and come and pay the next day. Relief flooded over my being and I rushed back to office. And I found my wallet on my desk and I sped back to pay my debt. The guy was very sweet again and remarked that I could have come over the next day as it was getting late. And so my gentle readers, it shows that trust and faith still exist in this world. :-)

So I am testing waters now with this small post. And if things go on well, I will be back with a bigger post tomorrow. :-) So long.

Thought for the Week

and for the rest of your lifetime! :-)

Meet the Sitcom Junkie

I have always believed in the magic powers of chocolate when I am down but last night I discovered the depression-relieving powers of sitcoms that can really revive your dead brain and put it back to sleep as you don't have it use it all. I came back from work zonked and switched on the TV and plonked myself on the pile of beds that serves as a couch. "A Simple Life" was happening in Start World, where Paris Hilton and another bimbo try to make some bucks interning. This was followed by the extremely entertaining Scrubs which always reminds me of The Wonder Years because of the voice overs (talking of which, Wonder Years DVDs anyone? Lend it to me please!). Then "8 Simple Rules to Date my Teenage Daughter" came on and I knocked myself out giggling for all that silly humor that I quite like. More giggling followed with Less Than Perfect, The Drew Carey Show (again DVDs anyone?), Seinfeld and Friends. Which makes it three and half hours of uninterrupted TV viewing!

I just lourrrvee these funny shows on TV. Yeah they are shallow, silly but I really like that kind of humor replete with the studio laughs. I think it all started out with Small Wonder - the show about this family with a robot daughter. H and I used to rush home from school to catch it on time. Soon we added The Wonder Years to our routine (this isn't a sitcom, but we loved it anyways). Then there was Blossom, Boy Meets World and so on, but we never liked them all that much. And since we aren't restricting ourselves to sitcoms, do people remember Giant Robot? Giant Robot caught every kids fantasy those days. And the Japanese soap Oashin, if I remember right, they never finished it! :-( Then Junoon, Swabhiman etc happened, but I am not getting into all that. :-)

Then I rediscovered the joys of sitcoms with Full House. All thanks to H who got me hooked! Zee English aired many good ones like Friends, Seinfeld, Mad About You, Three's Company and few others I quite don't remember. I used to watch and watch the reruns also during my vacations at home. Seinfeld was brilliant and I fell in love in Three's Company(DVDs absolutely needed - S, are you listening?). During college my access to TV was limited and we made do with Friends on our computers.

Hyd happened and once we bought a TV I got my roomie also hooked to these sitcoms so that my needs are guaranteed. :-) Friends, Will & Grace and Caroline in the City used to be my staple diet every night. And then the Monday laughs on Star World - Everybody Loves Raymond, Becker, Still Standing, Grounded for Life, The King of Queens etc. And Whose Line is it Anyway and Drew Carey Show make my mornings more eventful. But the schedules keep changing every month these days. Some shows I especially miss are Three's Company, Dharma and Greg(Greg was soo handsome), Mad About You and That 70s Show.

God save the guy who marries me - his TV viewing is screwed! :-)
