Tagged about 20 before 40!

Tagging is the most horrendous way people can demonstrate their friendship. Tagging people on notes, acceptable. Tagging people in random event invites, acceptable. Tagging ugly boring photographs of yours from yester years!!?? Like hello! Just not done! However tagging people and nagging them to blog is kinda bearable.

So here I am tagged to write 20 things I would want to do before I am 40. I mean for gods sakes, I can't really imagine that I am talking 40 already!! Yikes!!


So here goes

001: Invent a device that prevents aging!
002: Buy an SUV and drive across the country in it
003: Learn DJ'ing and perform in a night club
004: Drum, drum and drum!
005: Break free from my job and do my own thing
006: Spend a few months in Paris
007: Fall insanely in love and not worry about how it will turn out! (Phew I have been doing that all my life) Maybe its time to change the pattern!
008: Get a tattoo!
009: Lose just a lil more weight and run a marathon
010: Direct a movie or a play!
011: Meet SRK!:-d
012: Take a trip to Mumbai with a friend of mine!:-p Friend are you listening??
013: Visit a lot of my fav places with interesting company - Greece, Egypt, Rome even!
014: Go learn the local African drums in Kenya
015: Build a large natural aquarium
016: Listen to some amazing musical concerts around the world
017: Write my book
018: Buy myself the entire Calvin & Hobbes collection
019: Open a perfume factory
020: Spend a whole lot of crazy time with interesting, diverse sets of people and just have a great time in life!

I guess none of these 20 might get ticked off...so adding one more:

Follow this blog up with a few more!

Confessions of a weird mind

I believe this post is a follow up of a tag blessed by dear Sowm. Apparently I am supposed to write down 9 wieird things about myself.. Why 9 ??? I don't ask! But tags are just these unquestionable imposing things which atleast pull you out of your laziness and get me to blog again.

So here goes:

1. I am super sensitive about smell and CAN fall in love with some dude with a sniff alone . I CAN be driven to dislike people who do not believe in doing some social good by smelling good:)
2. I believe sleeping is a waste of time and life is meant to do so many more interesting things than waste it snuggled in bed!
3. I can almost never spell weird correctly in my first attempt. This time was no exception!
4. I get extremely hyper reactive with people who speak on cell phones in Movie theatres! I normally walk up to them and ask them to shut up! NOt many times do they take kindly to my free advice:) But its a good way to get that angst out!
5. I just cannot get to bed (those rare moments when I need sleep), if I have not checked every corner of my roof for cob-webs. If I see one, I would most probably get up and brush it off! I also would feel very uncomfortable if I have not chatted with Sowm and Tey or had my most needed fone convo with Arts before I hit the sack.
6. I have to start my day reading Calvin and Hobbes and cannot survive a trip to the bathroom without a book.
7. I can never have nothing to say!:)
8. I still have chits/ notes from ever and tend to collect every single ticket/Boucher to any place I visit when I travel.
9. Every book that I own would have a small note giving it a feeling of belonging and reminding me of where I bought it for reference years later.

So those are the 9 thinks I could think of weird or not so weird. I am too lazy to tag anyone else now.

8 things

Seems like the whole tagging thing never gives up. At least it pulls me out of my complacent little zone in the virtual world and gets me to visit my blog space. So after my friend "primalsoup" tagged me, here are the rules of the game.

1. The tagged victim has to come up with 8 different points of their perfect lover.
2. You have to mention the sex of the target.
3. Tag 8 victims to join this game and leave a comment on their comments saying they've been tagged.
4. If tagged the 2nd time, there's no need to post again.


Perfect lover?? Sounds like an oxymoron to begin with. But hey no one said the person has to be realistic and possible. So my perfect lover a MALE should be

1. Cool about my obsession with SRK and many such men!
2. Let me watch my K soaps for an hour a day and should be ok abt my fone conversations with all my girlfriends. Like any other woman, I also need that gossip to survive a long hard day.
3. Should have hopefully been in a relationship before to be able to understand the intricacies and complications that come along. And hence would hopefully not be sentimental and touchy about the regular up's and downs of a relationship. I really cannot handle all those sensitivities easily:)
4. Should be ready to get wet in the rain, just leave and go to Africa if bored, or enjoy the small joys of eating chaat in a crowded street.
5. Should love music, plays, books ( in that order).
6. Should have a patient ear to be able to sustain my endless chatter
7. Should have a mind/life of his own and also let me have mine.We should not be this superly "our" and "we" sorta couple.
8. Should not be super obsessive and also let me have my moments of attraction with other men:-d (did some one every say humans were monogamous?;-)

Now I supopse life is about tagging the next few people. So i tag
Rt
Smiloo
Somu
Div's
Divya
Greesh
Avi

Man i give up..dunno too many people in this space!:)

Tagged

Well so my friend has managed to Tag me..
For a long long time could not figure out what the tagging meant and why do people get tagged. But since i am part of this circle of tagged people and being this keen on remaining part of the group and playing along ..here go my
55 words...

I stared into her, I delved in deep

Tried to comprehend if there was something more.

I held her close, gazed at the starlit nite

Musing at all that she had revealed .

I slept all night with her besides me..

I only woke up to find ruffled pages..

My book staring back into my eyes!

Considering my connexicons in the blog world are rather less..I am wondering whom to tag..probably i tag somu and smiloo..So people out with your 55 words!
