Updates!

Ok, so it's been an insanely long break from blogging, but i had computer trouble. And if you're like me and can't even tolerate the IDEA of not having computer access, actual problems with your most prized possession can put you in a state where you can't function...can't eat, can't sleep, can't even think straight. It's like you get generalized anxiety disorder - worry about your computer spreads to worry about every other thing imaginable, from minor things like what to wear to super-frightening prospects like 'The Future'. But finally, I, being smart as I am, (:P) fixed the problem - well, with help from God of course who helped me maintain some degree of composure - and removed the NASTY thingy that was making my computer hang and blocking my programs from updating. I couldn't access the microsoft site or ANY antivirus or antispyware/malware sites for days, but then i found an answer on Yahoo Answers and managed to get a program that helped me bust the mean, malicious adware that somehow found its way into my precious precious Dell system! Thank God, all is well now. And i pray it stays that way! :)
So, this post is basically about some random updates of my life. (Though, come to think of it, i don't think anyone really cares whatever these 'updates' may be) But heck, like i say so often, it's MY blog so i can write anything i want! Even a whole page of gaagaagoogoo gooblety gocklee baby babble! Though i would never do that. Seriosly, do you think I'm THAT lame?
Sigh, i shall stop rambling now. Here come the updates, unimpeded by any spyware/malware/adware/hijack whatsoever:

1. I have recently developed the BIGGEST CRUSH on Neil Nitin Mukesh. Seriosly, have you SEEN him in the promos of Aa Dekhein Zara?? Gosh, he's a hunk! And i want to sing to him....'Mohabbat Aapse...' (it's a song from the said movie...watch the video! And you shall fall head over heels in lovee too! (p.s.If you're a guy and not the least bit interested in Neil Nitin Mukesh, Bipasha is sizzling too so you can watch her instead.)

2. I am entering Vogue India's talent contest 2009, even though i think my chances of winning are like nil. But just for the heck of it, coz any writing is supposed to make you write better and the contest demands high-quality, tight writing so in a way it's like a writing practice exercise. (Because, as you may have noticed if you read this blog, i tend to overwrite and ramble on and on quite a bit and i need to learn how to write tight and concise.)

3. I have final exams staring April 6th. It'll be so intolerably hot! :( but on the plus side, having exams in april rather than march as they usually are, means having more time to study, which is very much required!

4. I have come up with a new policy when it comes to buying Indian fiction. From now on, every time i go weak in the brain because of some amazing looking book cover written by a young and upcoming Indian author, I will first read a couple of random pages just to make sure that: (a) it makes sense (b) it is written in good, publishable-kind English and (c) it has flow and grammatical fluency. This is because i've spent several hundred rupees on 3 books which i so wish i had never touched just because they have such impressive covers, namely: One Afternoon, Pink or Black and most recently, that thing called LOVE. I strongly think all the royalities collected by these 3 stupid novels should go to the cover designers. Coz if the cover had been something else which gave the slightest clue what a total waste the books are, not many would choose to spend their precious cash on them. This policy helped me in buying Piece of Cake today, by Swati Kaushal. I've just read one chapter, and i already know that it's going to be a brilliant read. Totally worth it's price!

5. This is the part where i start really THINKING about what else is there worth mentioning about my life. And i draw a blank. Honestly, nada...zilch. Oh btw, if you follow Roadies, how totally awesome was the last episode?! :D Nauman and Sufi are backkkk! I am sooo happpyyyy!! Sandeep and Pradeep are out, yay!! Though, i feel bad for Kiri. Seems like the show really meant a lot to him. Anyway, i can't wait to watch what happens next...a bout between Paulomi and the Queen of Bouts, Palak! - should be pretty interesting. Oh, and Splitsvilla Season 2. Sighh...what a waste of a show. I thought maybe season 2 would be somehow more bearable than season 1 because it seemed less sexist but the first episode was so pathetic. How can you fall in love and play politics at the same time? So not my kind of entertainment! Though, two of the guys are cute. One already 'got dumped' and the other, i forgot his name. But Mohit is just....umm...can't find the right word...superficial, perhaps? What were those chicks thinking when they voted for him?

Ok, that's it. Got to work on that entry for Vogue's talent contest now. Excuse the content, or lack thereof of this post. I didn't have anything specific to write about.
