Eleven reasons why I should buy a TV

Talk about people who don't learn from their mistakes! Yes, I am one of them :( I again lost a post just cz I compiled it in notepad++ and rebooted the machine without saving the document.

So I was writing about why I decided on buying a TV (yes, finally!). Few reasons that motivated me and helped me make this decision were:I don’t have room mates

1. I don't have room mates

2. I don’t have a boy friend

3. I have friends but they are all so talented that they have jobs

4. I love watching movies – and I already have a blockbuster membership

5. I need to catch up with the rest of the world – day to day update you see

6. I want to be left alone at times – so that I can just lie on my couch and watch useless reality shows

7. I want to have girls’ nights often – fruity cocktails, giggles, chick flicks and my girls

8. I want to be able to host drinking video game parties at home

9. There is a huge corner in my living room which is empty and needs something to be put there (yes this argument qualifies cz a TV CAN be put there)

10. A TV will keep me home (hopefully?)

11. I want a TV – Wait, we don’t need any more arguments! This discussion is over!

Well, so we just decided that I NEED a TV. Now the question is what kind. I have everything figured out except, I have a question – is it worth spending extra 200 bucks to get a 120Hz instead of 60Hz? How big is the difference? Suggestions?

Another good-for-nothing creation that was sitting in the notepad from last one week! Now you have no choice but to read it. Sorry.


what happened ?
what happened to my dream
of living a crazy life
traveling the world
reaching for everything
that i always wanted

my dream
of doing what none else thinks of doing
living by my rules
being happy
and living my life
just the way i always have
like the crazy one

what happened to my dream
is it still alive
or am i letting it die
am i still fighting the world
to keep it alive?

Bollywood - Then and Now!

We, Indians, grew up watching Bollywood movies. I still remember those Saturday afternoons, when I used to come back from school and throw my bag in the hall and just sit with family and watch the movie played by Doordarshan (Doordarshan is a default channel on national TV in India which literally means 'television' - how creative! And yes Saturdays were not off in my school from first to eight grade). So anyways... Just like how times change, trends changed, movies changed too. But it is amazing to see 'how much' have they changed. Really! Read on and you will know what I mean...

Then:

- More was less, be it clothes or accessories

- One boy. One girl. Eternal love.

- Nature was important and movies were more eco-friendly. Gardens and hills were considered to be great (and standard) locations. Flowers were basic essentials - for a reason mind you! (Apparantly, all the kissing happened behind the bushes, tress or even flowers. Sometime they used umbrellas too)















- Huge hair do's and tight fitting flashy clothes were the 'in' thing of the times
- Heroes who shouldn't even make an attempt at dancing were stars and were a part of extravagant dance routines

- Body Hair = Manhood (like they needed a proof to tell the world they are men)
Now:

- Less is more

- One boy. Many girls. Less love, more love making.
-Locations- Greece, Switzerland, London, New York, China

















-Body hair? What? New symbol of manhood - going shirtless
- Kissing on camera is the new thing - Invites star controversies = Good for business. Way to go!

- Gardens?? Talk beaches and discos, lights, drinks, girls, more girls (non-Indian preferred)

The change is HUGE! And I am not really sure where we are headed with this. But whatever it is... I still love Bollywood!

Once again, I was reading AbsUrd and wanted to write a comment there. Comment became way too long. So am posting it here and linking it to her blog :) Payal my sweet heart, you are my inspiration! :P

Now read slow:

Remember those drunk nights? The kind of things you did... You probably wouldn't even have dreamed of doing anything like that in your complete senses. Those mornings when you wake up and have to go over pictures to trace back the previous night! That's what we are talking about... Let's just list out few of those crazy moments here. Payal has a good list oh her blog - The things you can do on pretext of being drunk. I am just adding some more points there:

- Flirt with that cute guy and get away with it next morning 'Oh man last night was so fun, I don't even remember what I did'

- Kiss the bartender/Bouncer

- Scream your lungs out

- Pour your heart out, laugh, cry, hug, or any other BS

- Slap that guy you absolutely hate, or be a bitch to the guy who doesn't pay attention to you otherwise

- Just pass out. Where ever, when ever! And have a good night's sleep

- Have a life changing conversation with a complete stranger

- Have a serious conversation with friends on "How to save the world?"

Feel free to add to it. I know everyone has their drunk moments :)

P.S. This is no confession!!

Please understand... For heaven's sake!

How many times have I heard this? “Sowm, you are so complicated”. Huh? Which girl isn’t? You want a girl but you want her not to be complicated, not to have her issues, not to be hard to handle at times… good luck with that! You are not gonna find any such girl. And if you get lucky enough to find one, trust me she won’t be fun. And honestly, I think I am not THAT difficult to be handled after all. I am vocal, straight forward and clear about things. I mean understanding is a different issue altogether. If the guy knows how to handle the girl, he will be fine…

So all you losers who have been struggling to find a way to handle a girl, here’s some useful info for you…

• Girls are complicated. Accept it. They will always be. They will cry when they are happy and they will cry when they are sad. But you will know the difference.
• Girls are not THAT complicated. Don’t try to read any signs. They are pretty straight forward these days; they will tell you what they want. (It’s not a Shah Rukh Khan movie where ‘larki ki na me haan chhupa hota hai’)
• PMS/Mood swings – They can be real bitches during this time. Just tell them what they want to hear. Don’t argue and make them feel everything is normal. They just want to be pampered.
• Girls want to feel special. Romance, surprises and candle lit dinners are not gay! We still like it…
• Don’t overdo it. Way too romantic all the time = BORE. We want guys to be naughty, playful and flirtatious at times. A good sense of humor and a smart mind is a plus… too much lovey-dovey doesn’t work all the time. Girls like to have fun too.
• If she hangs up on you once… she expects you to call her back. If she hangs up on you twice… text her!
• We respect honesty – don’t lie! (This one is a little tricky) If the girl tells you she is gaining weight and needs to exercise, don’t just fake that you think she looks perfect. She knows she doesn’t. You are in a spot here… handle it diplomatically… just say ‘I don’t think so, but I guess I will have to hit the gym too to keep up with you. You will be in perfect shape and all hot after working out’ there are some questions you can’t answer with a plain ‘yes’ or ‘no’.
• Make her feel special – not just by words, but also actions. Every girl deserves it. Remember all those times when you vented your frustrations at her? Yelled at her for no reason - When she took care of you - Motivated you to do your best - Strengthened you when you were weak - Loved you selflessly
• Return the favor: as simple as it is… for everything she has done for you, she expects only one thing from you – be there for her. Not just physically, but also emotionally.
• Don’t be an asshole. Politeness can still win hearts… be a gentleman to her!
• Be that support system she is looking for – easiest way to lose your girl is to leave her alone when she needs you. Trust me you will lose her in no time! Cz she is most likely to find someone who will be there at the right spot at the right time. And it’s very easy to steal a girl when she is vulnerable.
• Protect her, but don’t make her feel she can’t handle herself. That’s a no-no. Never tell a girl she can’t. (and you know she is right)
• Give her 100% attention. Listen to her when she talks to you. Give inputs. She will appreciate that.
• Don’t judge her all the time. If she likes you and is comfortable with you. She will say meaningless little things every now and then. Don’t bother. Just let her be, she is just trying to be cute. Smile and say you love her. You will get more than what you expect from her.
• Girls enjoy conversations. Talk to her. Trust me she will fall for you all over again after a meaningful conversation.
  

These are some things I can think of at the moment. Don’t try to study a girl’s psychology. You know you can’t understand it. Don’t even try. Just take it easy and you will see how easy it is to handle your babe. And if you take care of her, she will take care of you. You keep her happy and you know she will not leave you :)

P.S. I am sure I missed out some points. So folks, if you think there is something interesting I should include… inputs welcome :)
