One step at a time

I’ve been MIA I know, and no, I’m not giving up on blogging, neither am I giving up on visiting blogs. Give me some time and I promise I’ll be back at all your blogs like I used to be. Also, give me some time to get back to blogging properly. It seems so long since I’ve been around here, and I miss it.

I shall leave you all with something by Rumi.

Hurts...

People usually like me. It’s been that way ever since I was kid. Back in school, my teachers always liked me, even my class-mates mostly liked me. Now, my students like me, my colleagues like me, my HoD likes me. Even the maids at work like me. And somehow that hurts. Right now, it really hurts to be liked by them all.

I sound ungrateful. I even feel ungrateful, but that doesn’t help the pain. It still hurts.

Tring tring

I love associating ringtones with people. I think a person's ringtone can tell a lot about them. One of my closest friends had this upbeat hip-hope tone (I forget the name now) for a long time, and trust me it was just SO her.

My ringtone, on the other hand has been, Dancing in the moonlight, for the past two years now. I absolutely love the way the song starts. Not that i don't like the whole song in general but the beginning is really good. One thing it definitely tells about me is that I hate change. If I like something I'm hardly ever willing to change it. Yes, that's not too good a thing, I know.

But that's not what this post is about. Tell me about your ringtone right now? And how long does it usually last?

This should be quite interesting.

MacBook

I got my MacBook about 3 weeks back, and I'm quite in love with it. It's the little things which I can do so easily here that make me really love it.

I've been meaning to blog about it, but somehow just haven't got the chance, or rather just haven't felt like doing it. But you can see my beauty now. :)

In the first week I discovered the stickies application and wow, was I thrilled. I have so many stickies all over my desktop now, just cause it's fun. :p

Oh, and Time Machine. Awesome!

So, in very simple words I'm madly in love with my MacBook. Plus, it's like my first ever laptop. So the joy is doubled. :D

The guy at the store told me I'd enjoy my Mac. And boy, was he right! :D

25 Random things about me

Okay, I was tagged by Dinky Mind.

Rules:
Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. If I tagged you, its because I want to know more about you.

I've done this on FB before, but since most of you are not on my FB, I shall copy paste it here. Well, what do you expect? How many random things can I tell you about me anyways. :p

Here goes nothing:

1. If I’m looking at my reflection in the mirror and someone sees me doing so, I start making funny faces at them through the mirror.
2. I find thunderstorms extremely romantic.
3. If I’m upset I’ll be playing with my hair, smoothing them against my cheek, even smelling them
4. I call my favourite people fatty, even if they are skeletons.
5. I don’t know how to whistle.
6. I sing pretty well, but I can’t dance for the life of me.
7. I cannot keep my hands idle, if I’m on the phone I’ll be playing with the telephone cord, or just playing with my hands, or twirling my hair or doodling.
8. I can doodle just about anywhere, if there’s a pen near me, vandalism is bound to happen, sometimes I even end up doodling on my clothes at easily accessible spots like near my knee and that gets me into serious trouble.
9. I can day dream for hours on end, it’s my favourite pastime.
10. I love reading novels. :)
11. I have conversations with myself, I even have imaginary conversations between me and my friend with myself in which I'm both me and her!
12. When I’m reading a book, especially fiction, I HAVE to finish it, and I’m unaware of anything going on around me at that time. You can probably carry out secret conversations around me and I won’t hear a word!
13. When I’m upset I have an overwhelming urge to go to the corniche and just sit and watch the waves, it actually makes me feel better.
14. If I fall in love with something, there’s no hope for me or the thing, be it the weather, a book, a song, a movie or a person. :p
15. I am not a fan of newness, I like the old and the comfortable.
16. I am a very simple person, don’t like make up and jewelry and all these artificial things.
17. I have really weak eyesight.
18. I do not like eggplant or bitter gourd! You would have to kill me to make me eat them.
19. My friends are my life. :)
20. I love animated movies. :)
21. Writing makes me feel alive. The times I can’t write are just horrible.
22. I love listening to music. Nowadays I’m stuck on Mahi from Raaz 2, and Breakeven by The Script. Mann Chandre and Somebody's me by Enrique.
23. I don’t have a favourite colour, I like all colours.
24. I want to learn horse riding, like really really want to learn horse riding.
25. My favourite ice-cream flavor is strawberry.

I tag everyone on my blogroll, and if you're not on my blogroll and you end up on this post you're tagged too. Leave a link to your posts here, please. :)
