Yet! Another!! Tag!!!

Here are the rules of this one:

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

Target: Female

  1. She should not be funnier than me and must laugh at most of my jokes.
  2. She must either teach me to dance properly or must not force me to dance.
  3. She must listen to my ranting about the smallest nonsensical things.
  4. She must be into music, movies and above all television.
  5. She must not be messy in any way. It would help if she were a cleanliness freak like me.
  6. She must not be secretly insane, must not be suicidal and definitely not a murderer. Additionally, she must promise not to kill me no matter how much she may want.
  7. She must not embarrass me in front of her friends by telling them stories about me like my mom.
  8. She must be smart enough to not let me find out if she is cheating on me.

I tag 8 people who accidentally stumble upon my blog, whatever their names might be.

Work is again coming in the way of my blogging. The post frequency would be low for a couple of weeks.

I went to my cousin’s place on Makar Sankranti and somehow the discussion moved to songs that became huge hits but seem very dumb and laughable now. Here are a few examples:

Saath mere aaogi- kahaan, ice cream khaoogi- haan haan - 2
saath bulate ho ice cream khilate ho, bolo irada hain kya
apana yeh wada hain nek iraada hain, waah waah
tumko ghumaunga main duniya dikhaunga main aayega tumko mazza
taram param pam param pam taram param pam - 2

And this one’s even better:

pom pom - 2, hey mama miya mama miya
pyar ki gaadi tez chalaon, accelerator aur dabaaon
prem gali mein mode bahut hain, dekho dil ke tod bahut hain
rasta mudd jaane wala hain, main road aane wala hain
stop, love, love (mama miya pom pom - 2)

These were the lyrics of a popular song from Justice Chaudhury starring Jeetendra and Sridevi. I myself was a big fan of this song. In fact, I had a compilation cassette of this movie with Himmatwala and I listened to it all day. I loved all songs of Sridevi.

Then there was a song from Dance Dance that I absolutely loved:

Aa gaya aa gaya
halwawala aa gaya
aa gaya aa gaya
halwawala aa gaya
rang jamaane aa gaya
roop dikhaane aa gaya
aa gaya aa gaya
halwawala aa gaya

Then, back in the mid 90s, Bali Brahmbhatt became very popular because of:

Amma dekh, aa dekh, tera munda bigda jayee,
Bebe dekh, aa dekh, tera munda bigda jayee.

The song is from a flop movie starring Jackie Shroff called Stuntman.

There are lots of such songs but I don’t have the time to find the lyrics and I’m too lazy to write the lyrics myself.

PS: All the non-Hindi-speaking readers are requested to forgive me for this very Hindi post. I would have loved to translate these songs but there’s no time. *very sad face*

Or maybe the fifth time’s the charm?

I don’t read. I don’t know why but I don’t.

And I don’t mind accepting this at all. Although some people find it surprising which again, I have no clue why.

I have read four novels in my life.

  1. The First was Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. It was part of my class 12th curriculum. So I was kind of forced to read it. But it is a great book. I can very well read it again.
  2. The second was Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. It was also a part of my class 12th curriculum. I found it to be pretty great. More so because I could relate with the hero, Pip. I also saw a god-awful movie based on the book after I read the book. They butchered the book completely.
  3. The third was The Old Man and The Sea by Ernest Hemingway. It was part of my B.Tech. Second semester curriculum and it was so boring that I never read the whole thing. I left it midway and just read the synopsis.
  4. The fourth was The Bachelor Of Arts by R K Narayan. This was the first book I read by choice. I saw it with one of my friends one day and just thought I might like it. The name really appealed to me. She also had The God Of Small Things with her and I almost thought of reading that instead (Thank god, I didn’t) but since this book was thinner and Arundhati Roy is a big jerky, the choice was easy.

Now, after years of not having read any other book other than those related to my field, I bought this book last Sunday.

The Da Vinci Code

It’s The Da Vinci Code. Yes, people, I finally succumbed to all the hoopla surrounding this book. I have managed to read only 4 chapters till now and I don’t know how long it will take me to complete all the 67 chapters. It’s just okay till now. It better be good and worth all the trouble.

Wish me luck!!
