3. You will post the answers to the questions (and the questions themselves) on your blog or journal.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. And thus the endless cycle of the meme goes on and on and on and on...
Questions were:
1. What is your favorite song of all time?
2. Which Disney character do you relate to most of the time?
3. What is your favorite color, and what childhood event do you associate with it?
4. Which birthday is your most memorable and why?
5. If you were to cosplay a certain character, who will it be and why?
Answers were:
1. Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd
2. Hmmm...i think Pip the Squirrell from Enchanted....the world does not understand what I say most of the time..lol
3. Ooh.. i'm so not good with these kind of questions....no favourite colour as such...i like most bright colours.
4. It was my 9th or 10th birthday..i had a big fancy party with all my friends. Memorable coz that

The end of the year is a good time. Finished my exams on a surprisingly good note..yay. Only one more year left to go before i graduate..FINALLY. Its not vacation time yet though. infact this time I'll have no holiday as I'll be shunting from one internship to another...ugh..but have to do it if i want a freaking job later on.
The bright side right now is that my internship starts on Monday, so till then I'm catching up with all the fanfic I have missed and there are some really good ones waiting to be read by me. And now I can finally see all the Gossip Girl episodes I missed during exams. Though from what I have heard (chuck/vanessa. wtf????) I don't really feel like doing that *makes sad eyes*. Thats why I'm immersing myself in fanfiction and pretending the last episode hasn't happened.
Nervous about my intership. its at a really reputed corporate firm and i'm shitting in my pants coz I don't know anything about the corporate world. And since I'm hoping for a PPO (pre-placement offer) I have to really be good. Don't know how I'll do that. To help alleviate the pain, I plan to go drinking..hehe.
Speaking of Fanfiction, I've been meaning to read 'Twilight'. I think I really should, everyone seems to have read it and is talking about it. However, I usually have a tendency to hate things that majority of the people like, so i'm pretty apprehensive about starting it. Also, I am not too enamoured of the concept. On the plus side though, I'll get to read a lot of fanfics.
I had never really actively believed in fate. It was just one of the many things stored in that corner of my mind for deeper reflection when I had the time or if something happened to make me think about it. Now, however, I REALLY, cannot help but believe in it coz of the unbelievably series of bad luck things which keep happening to me. Something or someone is definitely conspiring against me. It has to be fate. I mean so much bad luck just directed towards one person is definitely not coincidence, right?

It’s a human trait to associate certain sights, smells and sounds with certain memories. The smell of freshly baked bread, a certain perfume, rain-soaked mud, a certain movie or song all bring slices of our life to the mind’s eye. It is nice when we are suddenly reminded of something good from our past. Unfortunately the mind does the association thing with bad memories too. The trouble comes when you haven’t really made up your mind whether that particular aspect of your past is good or bad. Sounds weird? Welcome to my control-freak mind J
Recently, I was listening to an Alanis Morisette song after a very long time. And that’s when I realized that her songs have been associated with memories of a time I haven’t made up my mind about. It’s such a freakishly ridiculous situation that I don’t know what to do. And so I’m just going to do the mature thing and take the escapist pathJ. Being an adult is overrated anyway, isn’t it? J
Some pro-abortionists go with the theory that since a fetus is not a person abortion cannot be akin to killing a person and thus is wrong. The theory is based on the reasoning that since a fetus still has not experienced the human emotions and experiences, it cannot be regarded as a person, though he/she is human. So essentially a human being who is conscious of the self can only be labeled a person. Going by this theory, killing a person who is sleeping or in coma shouldn’t then be wrong. They are, in that state, not aware of anything around them. That by itself, however, does not rob them of their entity. How can then the same theory apply in case of a fetus?
I am pro-abortion but I just cannot accept the above theory.
Dear friend,
We had a great round didn't we? But somewhere along the way I lost you as a friend. I don’t know when or where. Unfortunately, I know only too well how. And now the question is: Do I want to continue having you in my life or cut you off like an infected limb? This is a classic case of war between the heart and mind. God! How clichéd does this sound, right? The emotional part of me is hurt and betrayed and wants to shout, rant and rave at you- a clear sign it is still not indifferent. But the clinical part (and how I love thee) wants to sever myself completely from everything to do with you. The travesty however is this, I’m in a fucked up place in life right now, a place where everyone just hides in the good memories of the past and you, sadly, form one of those good times from my past. So I’m stuck. And I want you to be my friend just this once and tell me what to do.

Hello!!! seems like I haven't been here in ages. How has everyone been doing?
Today was a self-enforced free day..the boss is out of town and even though he has left tons of work, I'm not doing it...atleast not today. Even missed my diploma today. As a result I learnt very late that I have an assessment tomorrow...but what the hell, I'll study after this :).
My life has been pretty much going upside-down. One minute things are looking and then the other minute I'm fighting hard to keep calm. On the bright side, I wanted to start a discussion group of a few select people to discuss issues and judicial decisions and all that jazz and the response I got has been pretty good. On the other hand, I've never done anything like this before so I'm shit scared.
Also in a fit of despondency a couple of days ago, I mailed an ex-friend of mine who had not been a good friend at all(to put it lightly) and put paid to maintaining a dignified silence. Ugh...I blamed myself after the fit of depression lifted but no use crying over spilt milk right? Anyway atleast I know that chapter of my life is finally over but I just wanted closure. Anyway whining about it won't help.
Overall though, its been a productive time with a few minor hitches along the way. Tomorrow back to cold hard reality...ooh I'm also starting NGO work..educating kids for a couple of hours each week. Really excited about that....
Anyway I'll sign off now...hope everyone is doing good :)

This is the first time in ages that I've got time to sit and write a post. Its been a hell of a busy time. I shifted into a new flat and started internship, not to mention fixed up a lot of the flat work. I come home every day soo tired and hardly get any sleep. But ...I'm learing a lot and from the best- so I'm happy. I even go to work on Sundays! But its really the busy days that give me the high. There's something about working your ass off which at the end of the day gives you that really good tired feeling:). Wow..look at me I'm waxing poetry (or as close as I can get to it anyway) about working!!! Something's really wrong with me..lol.

In one scene, Sandra Bullock is told to the go to the place where she's most like herself. That got me thinking- what place do I feel most like myself?? And I just couldn't answer. I kept thinking, do you even know yourself?? Maybe I just don't understand the question, eh?
Another one that I had watched a couple of days ago was 'Earthly Possessions'. Now I really liked that one!! A lovely storyline and great actors. And for the first time in ages, I felt like swooning (right word?) over someone from the opposite sex. Stephen Dorff was gorgeous. I loved his character in the movie. I want to read the book that this movie is based on!! The movie is amazingly good.
There are some absolutely BRILLIANT fics that I'm currently reading, while waiting obsessively...erm..almost obsessively *shifty eyes* for them to be updated. The main reason for such a list is basically a little organisation in my otherwise chaotic life ( fanfics seem to be the only area I want to work in right now... and since I can't write...)
Most of them are dramione fics. Some of them are not. However, in the case of the latter, the appropriate pairing have been listed alongside. I have concentrated mostly on newer fics rather than fics that have been around for...well... centuries and that get updated quite regularly.
So here they are- just follow the cut!
Got to finish off some last minute packing and fingers crossed in the hope that no fight breaks out between me and the family :)
Two reasons are attributed to it being such an inauspicious day - first, coz Christ died on Friday and secondly, coz 13 is known to be an unlucky number. Now I'm not too sure about about the reasoning, so correct me if I'm wrong. I'm also interested in finding out if many people still believe in this superstition, especially among the young group of people.
Its always a wonder to me how rumours and whispers and just careless suppositions become hardened facts of life over a number of years. These things have a life of their own and its almost scary because they play such an important part. I mean customs and usages of people are considered an important source of law and have to be taken into consideration before judicial decisions are made. So even if a custom is illogical but is followed by a large majority it will be taken into account. Ofcourse the superstition about Friday the 13th is not given that much importance that it will be considered..thank god for that!!
