Is it that time of the year already??

Christmas eve already?? Where did 2012 go?? I believe this year is one of the fastest year till now. I don't remember how the year went so fast?? And where was I in this year??

Christmas time makes me see this year all over again... the year was full of family and friends... family marriage, movies, vacations, and drowned to death with work will be my definition of 2012 for me.

But whenever I hear 'jingle bells' and 'here comes Christmas' my heart melts to celebrate the year-end with festive spirits. This is that part of the year which is filled with magic and love all around.

But as much as I love the surroundings and the winter smell in the air..... I also am thinking that this is the time for some new year resolutions. The year 2013 is going to be full of surprises. I am looking forward to many surprises both good and not so good ones.

So my Resolutions for 2013:

1. Not to buy any more alternative shoes. I end up buying shoes and then alternative shoes for the ones I already have. And this chain of events is never ending for me. So no more unnecessary shoe shopping for me.

2. Sleep more. I believe the entire 2012 I was craving to sleep for long. Well not this year. I am going to get good goodnight sleeps.

3. Call on birthdays. No more FB msging, whatsapp msging or texting on anyone's birthday. Technology is destroying the personal touch and feelings for me. (this resolution was a suggestion from my friend Catty but so well said!!)

4. Travel. One of the major thing missing in my 2012 calender was travelling for myself. Although there were several trips of family and work but none for pleasure. I have to include a lot of selfish travelling to 2013 calender. 

5. Be positive. Queen of negativity has to loose the crown. I will think positive and be positive no matter what.

6. Change my middle name. I considered my middle name to be 'tension' in this year of 2012. So I definitely need to change that now. Finally after several years of panicking, life has has taught me that nothing special is going to happen if I am over tensed for everything.

7. Control over Online shopping. I am addicted to online clothes and accessories. I have to limit that to a lot of extent. I cannot promise to stop that completely...but can definitely control a bit...(hopefully and definitely praying for the same..:P)

8. Gain Weight. Although more than half I trying that. But I was trying it out of worry and tension again. This year I am going to be thankful I can eat anything and everything and be happy about it. (Please don't call me thin when you see me next.. :P)

9. Work hard. Not that I need to worry about it, but just a reminder to keep myself from not losing the faith in myself. 

10. Be Happy. One of the most important thing to do. Keep staying happy and believe in it. "Be happy" is going to be my guru mantra for the year 2013. 

With this I finish my resolutions. Apart from these rules, I promise to be in touch with my friends and old friends personally. Keep the contact alive and active. 

I had an amazing fast and furious 2012....and I am super excited to welcome 2013. Hope it brings me all the wishes I have hoped for. 

Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year...

Love you all :)

How HOT are we??

Yes I am very very HOT...and soon am going to vaporize into thin air because of this Hot Hotter Hottest Summer....

Summer 2012 has hit me hard and staying in a place called Vellore really adds up the charm. This summer I have gone through the worst and even post worst situations.

But let me write some of the best outcomes of this summer season:

• Natural Dieting:  Its so so so hot now, it becomes impossible to walk about half a kilometer to the hostel canteen, so most of the days lunch is skipped.
• More and more time spent in laboratory, as hostel rooms are burning hot, and no point going to room and getting fried there!!
• More time in labs without work, more time to discover all the loop holes in university's wifi security to watch videos, series and movies.
• Hot tea and coffee is out of question, no caffeine in body results in 24*7 drowsiness.
• Switch from jeans to salwaars....no pocket...ultimate no comfort, and of course all time carrying the look you have been avoiding for years!! 
• No sleep at night, because the mattress is so hot that it can cook omelet out of my skin.
• And geography and whether logic is playing with us....how can it be 45 degrees for weeks and still no rain!!
• Walk in the Desert....walk in Vellore....No Difference
• Switch to being Tanned....and trust me no sunscreen in the world can avoid....so basically the fair skin I was so proud of has been sacrificed to the lord surya!!
• Most people (maximum guys) will go for the "bald" look....so basically you end up with skull showing guys around you....
• Thanda paani gets garam in a minute, curd gets khatta before eating!!!
• One major disadvantage in the animal kingdom, because of excess heat...the Crows in VIT  have gone crazy and now are attacking humans on road...."true observation n fact".

I am just scared that one day am walking on the road in this hot sun, and I will be vapourised....Just Like That... :o 

Teen age to Tween age!!!

People say that a lady should never reveal her true age...I never fully understood this concept!! Yet I know a little significance of this as we go from the Teen age to our Twenties.....

How can you be absolutely sure that you are in your Tween Age??

1. You go from hot pink, crimson, lawn green, purple, yellow to greys, black, browns, blues....Oh..btw, i was talking about colors of clothes!!

2. Message bearing tees would become comfortable and designer patterns tops.

3. You would go from converse shoes and sandals to ballerinas, pumps, stilettos!

4. Mini skirts would transform to LBDs and low cut dresses.

5. Afternoon matinee shows would turn into late night shows.

6. Trying a drink or smoke would become an excuse to work load and life pressure.

7. Making an excuse for parties would turn into the knowledge of a stay over night out!

8. First kiss might be the expectations, and in tween we run from the word 'expect'....(if you know what I mean :P)

9. Ponytails become straighten hair with streaks and extentions.

10. Metal studded high waist denims turn to straight and low rise jeans!

11. Belts will not be used to keep your pants tighten anymore, they are well studded ones, to show off your waist!!

12. Bagpacks will get converted to Hidesign, Baggit and Fancy branded bags.

13. "Oh my God he is soo cute" becomes "He is not my type" or "He is just not right for me at this stage of  life".

14. Having a boyfriend was a necessity and in Tweens it becomes a Luxury.

15. Teen time you hit the puberty and Tween time it turns to liberty in tweens!!

16. Small Wonder and Hanaa Montana series gets converted to HIMYM and SITC.

17. Charles Dickens, Shidney Sheldon now becomes Arundhati Roy, Jeffrey Archer and Mario Puzo!!

18. Orkut changes to Facebook, Google + and Twitter

19. We are finally on LinkedIn...like officially officially.

20.  Coffee shakes, milk shakes and choco milk becomes irish coffees, lattes and cappuccino.

21....and the list can go on and on......

I enjoyed my teen age, I loved that hormonal rush and doing all sort of random things and then regretting it over and over again! But now that I am in my twenties, I love this step little closer to adult hood. I love how and when I can be random but at the same time be sensible enough not to go beyond limits, and even though I do cross my lines, who cares, am a tween and I care a damn!!

Cheers to Tween age!! Thank God am not Thirty!!! :P
