ok not exactly a thousand… but quite a many to actually count 🙂
I have been looking for a good topic to write on for the past week or so… There were these little little incidents which were not not worthy of having an entire post dedicated to them… at the same time, worth a mention nonetheless!
So, here I go… A thousand odd things that crossed my mind lately…
- When I started blogging again and checked my fav blogs once more and found some new interesting ones too… it felt good… it felt like i belonged here but was so involved with other aspects of life, that ended up completely ignoring this. Not that I regret it, coz the time I was away was well utilised 😀
- Was watching glimpses of the Farah Khan show “Tere Mere Beach Me”. It is an interesting talk show – with a difference. While her brother’s show “Sajid‘s Superstars” is way too bad to be even called a show, Farah’s show holds her own. Firstly, all her shows are based on a theme. Then she invites someone who is a living example of that theme! Whats more? She donates 1 lakh rupees to anyone who genuinely needs it and the guests have to bring along a personal items of theirs which is then auctioned and given to charity!! Hmmm… not too bad for a theme! But are they really doing it? That, I guess, we will never know!! 😕
- One of the episodes of the show was “Girl child”, a topic that I am very touchy about. Farah had invited Bipasha Basu and Shilpa Shetty for the show as they both belong to all-girls families and have been doing very good for themselves. The show did touch a raw nerve and brought me down. I guess this topic deserves a post altogether!
- Even after being MIA from the blogging world for almost a year, I was pleasantly surprised to see my blog ranks 64th in indiblogger. That made me feel happy and sad both at the same time. Its like I had been the bad parent who was not giving her deserving child a due chance! Well, now I am back and hopefully will go upwards from here.
- I do not find Mandira Bedi classy. I dont think she is any different from Rakhi Sawant. Yeah, I feel that strongly about it.
- Farhan Akhtar’s show “Oye its Friday!” is good but not meeting expectations. I mean come on! The guy is witty… some of the jokes in the show are quite fresh too… but it all looks wayyyyy too cliched and common place. Something you do not associate with the mighty talented junior Akhtar!
- Facebook amuses me totally!! I mean where else can you find totally sane married people taking up a quiz to know when they will get married!! 😕 Where else will you find people wanting to know the exact date and time of their death!? Where else do you have people taking up these random quizzes and sharing the results with all!! 😕 Well… well.. Facebook is amusing! 🙂
- Talking of amusing, so was Rakhi’s show which wanted to find her a suitable groom! The whole reality show was turned into a BIG drama, with TV stars making appearances in the show as her brother, sister, mother, grandmother, the likes… I mean I always felt that was one thing that could not be messed with. I mean we are talking about marriage – the most sacrosanct thing possible!! Well, she managed to turn that into a circus as well.. Only Rakhi can do something like that!
- Its awesome fun teaching parents internet. Their little questions are sooooo funny, it becomes hard to then teach with a straight face.
- I have also realised that I hate losing in Monopoly. I can lose in any other game, but a loss in Monopoly actually depresses me. I dont feel like eating afterwords, have problems sleeping… yeah!!!
- Singapore is a city I never thought I would like. But, guess what? I think I am beginning to like it… and though I hate to admit it, I may actually be even falling in love with it 🙂
- I always liked Cricket. I may have been even crazy during those world cup matches and IPLs. But Noobie’s constant craving for cricket matches and the attention with which he devours every word of the god-damned site cricinfo, I think I may be on the verge of turning anti-cricket. I mean it is the limit when you cant go to a dandiya on a particular date because there is an India-Pak match scheduled on the very same day! Grrrrrrr!! Do any of you wives/girl friends face such problems too? Please share!
- I think SRK was being a kid when he cried foul over that frisking incident in US. Oh come on!! You may be a celebrity, but are you beyond security?? Duh! No!!
- Recently came across a website called “Cheat Neutral“. You can actually neutralise your cheating over your spouse/boy friend on this website. Interesting, aint it? So, those who thinking of cheating on their spouses, try this out 😉 😛
Thats all I can think for now. More laterz.
:)…so many thoughts and all with potential for long lengthy post :). have you notice the latest craze on facebook on farmville. suddenly everyone wants to be a farmer :). I agree with you on SRK….he is not above security.
hehehehe 🙂 yes i have… its so annoying.. i dont get it 🙂
me neither :)………i can still understand playing it sometimes….you know…..but putting up picturesss…blah 😀 hee hee…so much office time on farmvile 😀
Lolzzzz!! I know what you mean! Its the heights!!! 😀
yeah..i also feel the same…miss blogging when am away from it for a long time!!..
abt fk show i dont cable @ my house..so sometimes see it in ytube…its pretty good;)
I used to be mandiras fan[remember her shanti serial]..nowadays she is just another wanna be celebrity..!!
Thanks for dropping by BA… FK show is not that great, but not that bad either 🙂 She was ok in Shanti, but is unbearable now!! 😕
Nice to see that u r back in blogosphere witha bang .. 4 posts in a week time .. That is what you were known for, right?? ..
Well, there is this India-Pak match and u want to go for dandia .. Common neha .. How can you .. Icompletely agree with your hubby .. World becomes standstill for cricket fans like us when there is a india/pak match .. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials ..
Thanks Dude!! And kyaaaaaaaaa?????? Let me drop a cliche here.. Tum sab mard ek jaise ho!! :PPPPP Bring on Chitrali and We shall have some common cribbing to do, I guess 😉
Ha ha ha ..
Chitrali might have the problems but she well understood our craze about cricket when she first visited my place during Nirma days..
She was amazed to see my dad wearing a pendant which has Sachin’s face as he wants sachin always near to his heart, my 80-year old Nani watching a match in her room and showing her disgust when Sehwag was out playing a foolish slog and ofcourse me praying and reciting hanuman chalisa for some miracle (Read: Rain)when our team was on the verge of losing ..
Looking for the “tere Mere beach mei” post…even I am very lazy about blogging yaar…Look at my blog with that old template (I have not changed anything since I started it)
You are from great lakes????
For me doign MBA is not happening becuase I don’t think I can crack GMAT

Sheesh! Such a long comment 😛 Loved reading ur comment 🙂
I checked my reader after a week or so and find a wave of your post…
Wow!! Nice to have you back…Lately a lot of bloggers are leaving the place. Good someone is increasing the count 😉
And I can totally understand this burst of thoughts in a single post…
Seems like thoughts have found a crevice and just torn it apart and fallen like keystrokes on the keyboard…Congrats on being back.
Hey thanks Dev… Its nice to be back 🙂
You just spoke my mind! 🙂
Of course u belong here dear and trust me you were missed 🙂
I have somehow always liked Farah Khan..she has a strong personality and is very honest and on the other hand have always hated her bro!!! Did u see the Shahid episode? He was so cute in it!!! hehehe 🙂
And I also loved the Farhan Akhtar show!!! Am waiting for the season 2…somehow I like his sense of humor 🙂
As far as Rakhi Aunty is concerned the less I say the better it is..I saw it has a comedy show 😀 😀 😀
And what u have written about parents & internet is so true..I still get calls from my Mom for small-2 things 🙂
Nicey nice post 🙂
Thanks dear 🙂 Feels good to hear that 🙂 Seems to me, the nicest people on Earth are on my blogroll 😀
Oh yes, in the very same Shahid’s episode, I thought Farah was really mean to Genelia. I kinda felt bad for her. Farah is talented and knows the pulse of the audience, but I think she is very very arrogant, which kinda ruins it for me! 🙂 Sajid isnt even worth a mention I guess! He is such a dufus! I loved that Ashutosh Gowariker incident, when he asked Sajid to shut up! That was awesome!! 🙂
I like FK’s show too 🙂 Just that I had probably built it up too much in my head 🙂 Me waiting for the second season too 😀
Hehehhee I liked the way you called her Rakhi Aunty 😛
Hehehehe isnt that cute 😀 I love it when mothers do that!! 😀
Nicey nice comment 😀
heyyyyyyy…just dropped in to say hiiiiiiii 🙂
Hellooooooooooooooooooooo 😀 Hows ya been? Long time 😀
Regarding Facebook.. so totally agree with you.. I recently saw a couple taking quiz “which letter would the name of the person who loves you start with”.. I was like eh?? I mean, dont you know who loves you yet? If not, then why do you have a partner? “Cheat Neutral”? weird..
Lolz! 🙂 So true 🙂 And yeah check out that “Cheat Neutral” website.. it is beyond me! Totally!!!
Are you from bangalore or just stayed in bangalore?
P.S: this is what revealed – Blog’a’Loreans
Good observation! 🙂 Yes I was a not-so-active member of Blog’a’Loreans. Attended a few meetings as well. “_
Sorry dint answer your question: Just stayed in Bangalore 🙂
actually I found Tere Mere Beech Main, a novel idea but not executed well 🙂
Really? Thats a first. Do you mind elaborating? As in which part of execution bit u felt was not good?
Of all the things that you have written about, I am not aware of quite a many, as I dont watch those television shows.
Speaking about facebook honestly, I find it very very confusing. So for me orkut is better and simpler than facebook. Maybe for the fact that i have been using orkut much more than I used facebook.
I hate Rakhi Sawant and for that matter her swayamwar too. But i did watch a couple of episodes just to see how silly things were done on that show. For me it was more of a comedy show than something as serious as marriage being decided.
I totally agree with you about the fact that teaching internet to parents is so so so funny. I have also seen the same with my parents.
Coming to cricket, we both face a similar plight! For Anshu, cricket is the bread and butter of life. He is absolutely crazy about it… to the extent that he wants to put Eshu straight into a cricket academy as soon as he is old enough for it. I have seen test matches with him for all 5 days in a row and guess what, I have started understanding LBW now! 😛
Hahhahahhahaa!! I can imagine!! Ab to sirf tu Mother-Baby type shows dekhti hogi 😉
Yes, a lot of orkutters find FB confusing. I ignored it for many years 😉 😛
Lolz! Welcome to the group 😀
Hahahahahha! What more can I add!! I think our husbands are married to cricket first and then to us!! The extent of my patidev’s fascination is that he is planning our trip to Australia based on matches being played in Melbourne stadium!!!! 😕 Ufffff!! Mera kya hoga!!! 😕
So many things. Each one could have been a post. 😀 I love Singapore too. It is small, clean and well maintained. I visit the city almost every year.
Congratulations on the indiblogger ranking.
Lol!! 🙂 Yes it is a place you cant help but fall in love with 🙂
Thanks so much 🙂
it is fun teaching computers and internet to parents or even explaining about computers to grandparents… 🙂
how long have you been at singapore? have been there 3 years before. i felt it as a peaceful, fantastic place for a small island, at least for the week i have been there. do you find it too small to explore, sometimes?
Absolutely! 🙂 Adorable, are they not? 🙂
me neither…..i can still understand playing it…but putting up picturesss…blah 😀 hee hee
YOu just inspired me to write a whole post on how cricket-manic we men can become ..
You might love reading it :

Lolz!! This is interesting. Let me check it out 🙂
thats a lot of things. 🙂
yes it is 🙂 long time 🙂 hows ya been? 🙂
I too have heard a lot abt that episode. Must catch that show sometime.
Yeah 🙂
You know sometimes these snippets gives a fair idea about whats going on! Good update on tv! I watched that rakhi show and found it interesting not for rakhi but because it was interesting to see the attitude of the boys towards an item girl. Only a canadian finally was okay with it!
Hey you are right Nita. All the families tried so hard to be ok with it 🙂 And Rakhi’s reactions to them were quite funny! She was trying her best to act sati savitri! So fake!!
