Happy Belated Halloween!!!

Happy Belated Halloween as I couldn't post yesterday!! Well actually I was kind of celebrating. I don't live in an apartment so trick or treating is kinda hard. So I invited some friends over for a party...not a scary one though. Well, the truth or dare was. Scary having to reveal your secrets to a person whose sibling's friend is the object of the secrets. Please, everyone else who didn't come home yesterday, don't feel bad. Those who did, please feel free to share ur experiences. Of course, I had to dance. One of the dares from a really sweet gal. Sweet having to see me dance. Man, and that had to be Yeh Ishq from Jab We Met. Damn. I dressed up as a vampire. Not surprising as I can look scary without much makeup. Or I can act scary anyway. In a hyper sorta way. I stayed up till 3 in da morn with two of my best friends (Vibha n Shwetha) discussing sssstuuuuuffffff. And horror stories. And we watched Twilight. No scares. Cept my hyperactivity, of course. And we played a game of UNO where I won!!! That's rare. And we were being critical of everyone. It was a kind of talent show too. Too bad u didnt dance Ani. Well, one of ny neighbours danced to When I Grow Up by the PCD and I sang a song I wrote. Post it later. It's late now. Sorry if the post wasn't satisfying. Bye!!

Howdy!

Howdy all!!
I guess its because of that Farmville thing. Very influential. And popular. But I am NOT into business. It's only because its a game ans cause its online. What do you think of it? I've got an absolutely empty room to-let for comments!!! Anyone, anytime can post comments, except for the explicit sort. I just finished reading Eoin Colfer's Airman. Great book!!! I'd give it 6 or 7/10. Any of u guys read it? If u haven't, here: It's a story set in 19th century Europe and about a guy, Conor Broekhart, who was born to fly, or more accurately, born flying. It's great for Sci-fi lovers. For those who don't know, Eoin Colfer's also the author of the Megaselling Artemis Fowl series. I'm sure you've heard of it if you like Science Fiction. Has anyone voted in the People's Choice Awards (www.peopleschoice.com) ? Please do so if you want your favourite singers, songs, movies, actors or TV shows to win.
Who doesn't like chocolate in this world? Be it dark, white or milk, I bet you'd find it hard to find a person not liking all three of those. I'm addicted to dark and milk chocolate and usually CAN'T survive without em..must be the caffeine......one of the disadvantages. I absolutely HATE to study often n need chocolate in the rare event that I do so (i.e., a week before tests start). No matter as I usually get straight A's. Stil, I owe it to chocolate. That and my teeth tartaring often. And, as a 6th Grader so politely pointed out to me in public (my English Club at school), my fat. My faves are Cadbury, Hershey's and Lindt. Sorry, but I couldn't resist- (the pics didnt show up)
Chocolate Lovers (reandom topic for a game...cause its CHOCOLATE!!)
Okay you chocolate lovers...... ..
Im not sure how this works, but it does!! Have fun!
YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH
Don't tell me your age; you'd probably lie anyway-but the Hershey Man will know! This is pretty neat.DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!It takes less than a minute .Work this out as you read .Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!
1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10)
2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)
3. Add 54. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator
5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1759 ..If you haven't, add 1758.
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.
You should have a three digit number. The first digit of this was your original number (i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week). The next two numbers are YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)
THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2009) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS. THE CHOCOLATE CALCULATOR (CHOCULATOR!!!)

Oh I know its such a random topic!!!!

Happy Diwali

Heyyy its been a loong time...well actually I switched to Windows Live Spaces for sum time. But I will continue posting simultaneously here and there. I just came here for a short visit, as I have tests and can't manage to type out long stories, which are about the only things I can post to those who don't know me personally here. Any of you guys familiar with Sanskrit, the ancient Indian language? Yeah this verse is really really really weird and our whole class cracked up (laughing) trying to decipher it:

परान्नं प्राप्यम दुर्बुद्धे! मा शरीरे दयां कुरु ।
परान्नं दुर्लभं लोके शरीराणि पुनः पुनः ॥

Yeah all I no is that it's got something to do with food. By the way: first coincidental visitor!!!! Not to brag, but this is quite hard to believe fr me. A person came across this blog who just kind of knew my name and age and then her friend said that it looked like mine. they told my mom and then it turned out to be so!!! Yeah I think that's it for today cause I don't have much time.

Catch y'all later!

Hey!!!
So I'm finally back managing to go thru an entire month without posting...my main reason for this is that I was very reluctant to post my song "When You Smile", which is a comple te cliche anyway, which I'd resolved to post. As you see, I never ende up doing it. There're no instruments I can play. Anyway, back to now. FINALS are starting on Tuesday and I won't be back until maybe the 31st. It's been an endlessly great schoolyear, thanks to our endlessly great class clowns and brainiacs and friends and....alll of that!!! I'm still a little sad here....it's an extreme dichotomy. I had a pretty good friend for two years and who wasn't much of a friend for the past two. That's in short. But she's moving away and so I wrote this poem. If the person in question is reading this, I assure you that these are my real feelings, and please excuse me if there are any wrong perceptions, since I look at things in a pretty different way. Here Goes -

Will You Stay?

Sometimes I may have done something to you

Even though I didn't care a bit

Even though you didn't too

Even if I didn't wish it

I surprisingly am happy if you are

Even though from my heart you're far

Even though you're not my lucky star

Even though my feelings were waging a war

I had no idea what to do for

Someone who might've thought I was a bore

Who may have hated me to the core

But then my heart just about tore

Because it didn't know how to choose

Between love and hatred; to win or lose

Couldn't come up with a clever ruse

Whether to be narcissist or altruist

But now you are really moving away

You have always broken or made my days

I feel good and bad; nonetheless I pray-

Should my feelings go astray or...will you stay?

I'm sorry for my negative outlook on things, but that's just the way I am. It's late and I have to go. Be back on 31st, Bye!

Hi!!

The MindSpace exhibition's over and we're free!! EXCEPT of course for Finals which are coming up in MarchThe rebellion's died down in school, but with a fresh new target. This target's not so much hit as the ones before (I think it's understandable). This target is another good friend of mine. But here, it's isn't advisable to really trust ANYONE, unless you're really, really, really sure. I've been a serious victim. I wanna know how to really know who're the ones to trust.

Hey!!!

Hey y'all, loong time (I guess that's become a usual dialogue now)
Oh, as usual, my New Year Resolution of Reguilar Blogging went down the drain. So did my other resolutions like staying fit and working harder in studies (not that I'm a nerd, as I'm often mistaken to be. I actually study for 0 hours at home on normal days and study as long as it takes on exam days which are 1 week before the exams start and between them). The New Year's going fine, and the weather's wayy colder than usual out here for Bangalore. Our Mindspace Exhibition's coming up, and it's on The Jungle Book (the actual book). I'm done for today cause it's a little late, so Bye!

HAPPY NEW YEAR (OFFICIALLY) EVERYBODY!!!

Hey!!!
Yup, I'm mighty excited, cause it's a new year and it's taken time to sink in. So this is IT. But surprisingly today was boring. What I had hoped to be a revelry-filled New Year's Day turned out to be a normal boring day with reading, surfin the net, eating etc. the usual 'boring' day activities. I was reading The Bartimaeus Trilogy: The Amulet of Samarkand. It's the first book in the series, for people who don't already know, since it's quite popular and terrifically enthralling. View the Shelfari reviews here - http://www.shelfari.com/books/57872/The-Amulet-of-Samarkand-(The-Bartimaeus-Trilogy-Book-1) . And...nothing much else. I was on the net all evening...and night. Just chatting, etc. Ok well, cya later bye!!1

Happy New Year 2009!!!

Hey!!!

So, it's finally approaching. 2009. According to Indian Standard Time, that's 5:20 hours more.

I know, it's REALLY hard to believe. Especially for people who aren't accustomed to change, such as me. And hard to cope with. 2008? Gone already. Last day. So it's time to make a new start. The usual words repeated as every new year comes along.

I seriously cannot tell how 2008's been. More like a complete mixed bag. Oh, and some neutral happenings, neither good nor bad. This has been one of the most eventful years of my life (which is pretty short, actually, so don't really try to go into it, if you'd bother to, that is). So, there was...a LOT.

2008, on the good hand, was EVENTFUL. Just how I like my life to be. Not much about school activities. No, this year it was all about friendship and fun. I had my first experience of reeeal drama queens, as we had all grown up and now people were turning more cunning (not me - I've always been quite innocent, much to my chagrin). Oh, and my first experience of getting into trouble at school. Trust me, this was my first. And trust my parents to blame it on my friends (then). It had something to do with a lot of gossip and spying and my Diary and all that, so no need to worry about it now - the story's tooooooo long. So I'd better keep you updated from 2009, that's one of my New Year Resolutions. What else? Yup, I withstood quite a bit of ragging and swearing, not that half of it wasn't my fault. That's also another story. But in the end, everything was alright. All's well that end's well, true enough. It ended well, but BORINGLY. I sincerely hope that the next year isn't as boring. There's a lot of stuff we could be doing, but we overlook the simpler things to go for doing something really "productive" which is a cause of boredom. Another is, like some people I've noticed have got a boring "atmosphere", I think you get me. Which I'm under sometimes. But it was a good year, not so bad. I'm sure everyone feels so, as there have been some national and international events affecting everyone. I quite liked this year, and I'm more than a little perturbed to be saying goodbye to it already. So, see you in 2009, Bye!!!

Hey I'm Back!

Guess I won't be posting regularly now...my schedule's become tighter and I'm running outta stuff to post. I just wrote a song, "Not in Your Clutches". I finished it today. Here it goes -

Fine, you can fix this and you can fix that

And you can get angry at the drop of a hat

You may be as sly as a mystery cat

But it don't seem you can give one a pat

Everybody's watching, I can't blame you

If you've got so much to do

But I don't know it you would

Treat me the same as you'd you

CHORUS:

So you're thinking that

I am bothered with

Something so much as what

You think you do

You keep playing this

Game you think I don't notice

I think it's time to dis

This thing you do

So I finally got to know

That I can't blame myself, just let it go

But enmity should never grow

Between the two of us, on high or low

I can't take all the

Pressure you pour on me

I think it's time you began to see...

That I am not bothered with

Something so much as what

You think you do

You keep playing this

Game you think I don't notice

I think it's time to dis

This thing you do

I still haven't come up with a proper tune for this song, but it's a song nonetheless. I haven't found a real good singer for this song as I just finished working on it. I was obliged to publish it early as I have tests starting tomorrow, and I won't be having time until the 17th. My birthday's on Thursday and I'm sad I gotta study for the toughest subject ever - Social Science. And I can't wait for The Tales of Beedle the Bard, releasing on December 4th!!! One more mouthful for Harry Potter fans. So I guess I'll be back soon - at the most on the 17th. Bye!!
