Ti's The Season To Be Jolly
Fa la la la la la la la la..

EEE!! There's something about Mary Christmas season that makes me pine for it throughout the year. I just love everything Christams - The Food, The Midnight Mass, The Decorations, The Carols *yesh.. I go mad singing them!*, Santa & his Reindeers *Rudolph is my favorite! :p* & the whole spirit. In fact, there was a time when I used to say that red is my favorite color because that's the color of Christmas!

To cut the loooooong story short.. I LOVE CHRISTMAS! AND I'M GLAD IT'S HERE!! *though I'm not attending any of the Christmas bashes - Thank you CBSE. Thank you SO VERY MUCH.* Nevertheless I'm Happeeeeee!

See, THAT's the thing about Christmas.. it makes me happppeeeeeeee even when I'm not exactly celebrating.

So I'll leave you with some of my favorite carols. Enjoy!


Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer

haha! I SO remember my kindergarten teacher going nuts explaining to us that it ain't because they like/come out in/ were born in RAIN that REINdeers are called so! :p


Deck The Halls! *Yes. With Boughs of Holly!*



Jingle Bells!



AND.. The Best-est-est-est!

Boymongoose <3!


MERRY CHRISTMAS!
AND A HAPPEE HAPPEE HAPPEE NEW YEAR!
err-- hopefully.. I'll post before New Year's.

.... Bang Bang Zamana Bole
NO. The subject here is not Salman Khan's lame song, which is apparently the worst I've heard since Govinda's 'Meri Shirt Bhi Sexy, Meri Pant Bhi Sexy', apart from his 'Aksa Beach' crap, of course.

It Is....



DON'T YOU JUST LOVE THIS GUY????!!!!

If you do,Join Da Party!
If you don't, you'll have to. Or you Will.
He, by the way, is Sheldon Cooper. Leonard's best friend & roomie from the show 'The Big Bang Theory'.




You just HAVE TO watch the show to believe me how immensely adorable this cute geek is! Watch the show at 2030hrs on Zee Cafe.

Meanwhile, this can be your dose of Sheldon-ism --->



Or This -->

Penny: "I'm a Sagittarius, which probably tells you way more than you need to know."
Sheldon: "Yes... it tells us that you participate in the mass cultural delusion that the sun's apparent position relevant to arbitrarily defined constellations at the time of your birth somehow affects your personality."

Penny: "Imagine how I'm feeling :|"
Sheldon: "Hungry?"
Penny: *glare*
Sheldon: "Tired!?"
Penny: *glare*
Sheldon: "I'm really not very good at this!"

Sheldon: "But then some poor woman is going to pin her hopes on my sperm, what if she winds up with a toddler that doesn't know if he should use an integral or a differential to solve for the area under a curve?"
Leonard: "I'm sure she'll still love him!"
Sheldon: "I wouldn't."


THURSDAY. 8:30 pm. ZEE CAFE. THE BIG BANG THEORY.
DON'T FORGET.
WATCH IT. BELIEVE IT.

When I was a young kid, I wanted to be Miss Universe.
I even had this scrap book with pictures , biographies and what not of Miss Indias/Universes/Worlds etc etc.
But that's another issue altogether.
Now I've opted for PCM-B *Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Biology* and apparently, I want to be a Surgeon - OB-GYN/ Cardio-Thoracic/ Neuro. *Clearly, the influence is from Grey's Anatomy.* More on that later.

Here's the fish :
I took the quizzes on Youniverse and I've embedded what I found about my personality in the sidebar.
Apparently, I'm 'The Sofisticat' *raises eyebrow*.
Quite an insight!

PS: Apparently, I think I'm obsessed with the word 'Apparently'.

... To My Sense of Humor.
Seriously? Seriously?!

Yes. It is my worst nightmare. Or maybe one of my really nightmarish dreams. But recently, I have observed my inability to comprehend the basic-est jokes.

CASE 1

A : Yaar, tell me what to write for Julius Caesar ka character sketch.
B : Yes. Yes. Julius Caesar was the protagonist of the play by William Shakespeare. Also, Caesar is an essentially important daily use item. We use it for making our maths project... yadda yadda yadda
(A, B, & C begin to laugh. I join in the laughter, though unaware of the 'joke')
Me : Ha! Ha! Ha! Par sense kya bani?
(A, B, C & a couple of background laugh-ers give me shocked glances.)

***

CASE 2

Me : Main toh teri fan ho gayi!
Y (who, by the way, was a 6 year old) : Toh thori hawa mujhe bhi dedo.
Z : Isse kehte hain sense of humor.
Me: Matlab? What was the funny part?
Z : Isse kehte hain sense of no humor.

I. Am. Embarrassed.
Amen.

PS: If you didn't get any of the above jokes, JOIN DA CLUB!!

This is precisely why you should *after all!* give MTV Roadies a break.

..And if THAT was not enough..





I mean just look at Raghu *and his twin* in their The Scorpion avatars!

Seslie MTV, when you came up with this, what were you expecting? "Aaj desh mein, jab bacha nahi sota, toh maa kehti hai : Beta, so jaa, varna Raghu aa jayega!"

*ooooo mommee! I'm shooo shcaredd!*

"Aye dil, hai mushkil, jeena yahaan, zara hatke, zara bachke, yeh hai Bombay meri jaan"
*Yes Raj Thackeray, sue me, I said Bombay. Besides, that's almost all that you can do*

This song, does kind of express the 'Spirit of Mumbai', the Maximum City of India, the Tinsel Town. But for once (again), Mumbai has been brought down to it's knees, as columnist Sushmita Bose puts it. Mumbai, at heart, is a normal city. It has fallen, again, it has been burnt, beaten, beaten till it was exhausted, till it could bear no more. Any city by this time would've asked for time to cry, to mourn, to gather all its fallen pieces and stand straight. But this is precisely where Mumbai's extra-ordinary 'spirit' comes in. It has composed it's grief, only to project it into anger, anger that will rage like embers. The bombs are now silent, but replaced, by the screams of lakhs of Mumbaikars, all supported by a Billion other Indians.
It was first, a fight against terror. A battle, rather, A battle that raged on for three days. A battle that left hundreds of families mourning and countless others numb. A battle, that left a nation to repent its regardless attitude towards its bravehearts. I salute the martyrs of the inhuman terror strikes - ATS Chief Hemant Karkare, Mr. Salaskar, Ashoke Kamte, Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan among numerous others.

But, there is one more accomplishment that must be accredited to this terror strike, something, that it most definitely intended - it has shaken, stired and finally woken up a Billion Indians. It has given voice to gazillions of emotions, which are now outpouring throughout the cyberspace, expressing themselves in newspapers, on radio, and some, silently doing their bit. The fire has been lit, and I see it extinguishing not in near future. Change will come. It HAS to. We will bing it. It's time we shine in more than merely the stock market. Of what avail is the 8% growth in the GDP, when we cannot assure our citizens of the most basic safety? Will the vows to reform the system, take affirmative action, make India shine, remain merely well-written phrases in our ministers' election speeches? Or is it something we're actuaaly going to do?

Here is the story of Harish Iyer, a responsible citizen, who made an effort, and greatly succeeded, in doing his bit.
Support Harish and people like him.
DO your Bit.

Our fists are clenched in resolve.
The fire is yet burning.
Please, don't let it extinguish, please!
Heal the World. Make It a Better Place. For You. And For Me. And the Entire Human Race.

"ऐ मेरे वतन के लोगों, ज़रा आँख में भर लो पानी, जो शहीद हुएं हैं उनकी, ज़रा याद करो कुर्बानी"

Update at 1655 hrs IST: The Times of India consultant editor and noted food critic, Sabina Sehgal Saikia's sad demise has now been conformed. Let's pray for her soul to RIP.

*Like you care to glance at the date on my last post.*

Fine, so I haven't been blogging for quite some time now. And, well, as I may add, I have missed it! Missed it... as in not the whole "oh-i'm-pining" kinds.. missed it during SO many blog-worthy moments I have experienced all this while *yeh right.. as if I can recall even half of them.*
So, anyway, cutting the crap short, I'd say I really felt this urge to type *dang, I couldve done the random gfudisgfgfuiswjdsf on Word as well*.
But hey!
So, perhaps I'd be blogging more!

Cheerio!
