Generally speaking,

I haven’t been blogging much off late. And frankly, I don’t have much to say today either. My blogging activity goes up only when I have something to crib about! But these are peaceful days for me. It is one of those rare phases in my life when I don’t have any short term targets to chase while the long term ones still hold and look doable, so life’s good. Hope the phase continues :).

Meanwhile last month, a dear friend of mine from IITK, Abhishek Chaudhury, took that gigantic step of getting married. While we’ve constantly been in touch, Abhishek’s marriage announcement came as quite a jolt to me. One fine day, he calls up and tells me that he's got engaged and is getting married in a couple of months. Boss! Kab? Kahan? Kaise? The suddenness of the whole thing being one (to which he had an arbit explanation that I don’t wanna get into here), Abhishek’s marriage announcement was also a reminder of how quickly the last seven years have passed and how much we’ve all grown from those heady days of our first semester at IIT. The ever-smiling and mischievous Abhishek, who once childishly declared “Main bhi bhaaag ke shaadi karoonga” after having watched Saathiya and said that he would go bungee jumping on his honeymoon, was getting married! The images of that childish Abhishek are so deeply embedded in my memories of him that I found it hard to believe he was getting ready to shoulder the responsibility of a family. So last month, I went to Abhishek and Kirti’s marriage ceremony and they make a handsome couple and I wish them the very best that married life has on offer. Knowing Abhishek, there won’t be a dull day in their lives.

Also, sometime back Diwaker tagged me (by the way, he finds this whole tagging business to be quite silly but apparently, that doesn’t stop him from passing on the tag to others when he gets one!) and since I have nothing else to blog about these days, here goes:

I am thinking about…
how to bring some discipline into my life.

I’ve said…
a lot of things that I didn’t really mean :(.

I want to...
be better at my work and find more time to read.

I wish...
life was quieter.

I hear...
a lot of noise and cribbing and gyan. Oh! Just shut up people!

I wonder…
what is the meaning of life? Is there a meaning at all?

I regret…
not having learnt a musical instrument when I was a kid.

I am…
a nice person :)! Really!

I dance…
Uh!! Never! I have the worst two left feet in the world!

I sing…
songs that I really love when I’m alone :).

I cry…
hardly ever.

I am not always…
as disciplined as I’d like to be.

I make with my hands…
nothing much actually! I’m too lazy for cooking and all.

I write…
quite poorly these days. I think I wasn’t that bad till sometime back.

I confuse…
people’s names all the time.

I need…
someone with me when I’m having a meal.

That’s it from me. Umm... I’m quite bored off this taggy business myself so let me not pass it on to anyone else. But if any of you are interested, have a go...
