IPL cricket

Cricket is like a evening time-pass for me and my husband - the IPL's 20-20 format is damn addictive.

Thus far, my favorite teams are Rajasthan royals, Mumbai indians and Chennai Superkings.
At present Sanath Jyasuriya is in his top form - he manages to hit at least three sixes per match and he is just awesome and i guess this run-vending machine is giving shivers to the fast bowlers and spinners alike. I love this guy!!!

Dhoni is too cool as usual - Shewag whi is a prt of delhi dare devils is another terrific hitter of the ball. In bowling, I can remember Bravo and Ntini - who are bowling at the right length irrespective of the pitch.

I would love to see the Mumbai Indians and the Rajasthan royals in the finals. Rajasthan royals are my favorite becos they were considered as underdogs and they are are the only team who proved it wrong by winning 6 matches in a row. Shane Warne, the captain, has shown his great team management skills - and its a delight to watch and savour their team spirit.

Sharukh's team, Knightriders, is a good team but they lack team spirit.

hope Mumbai Indians win! :)

The way to a man's heart is indeed thru his stomach

Rude nymphets

I travel with rude nymphets - a species found only in mumbai local trains. They give us a feel of how hell is. I hate this species.

Hating someone for no reason - Survey!

This was my question

I hate some people for no reason - maybe just because they are loud and irritating - Is this normal?

These are the answers that i got!

I'm a pretty tolerant person, but I work in a secondhand bookshop, and about 5% of my customers REALLY give me the squits...they're rude and never remember their manners and get upset with me if I can't locate what they want with a minimum of clues. I've tried analysing my feelings, and I think it's because these few people think they're way better than me. They all have affected la-de-dah accents and a bank full of old money and don't have to work for a living...it's the snobby elitist attitudes that really get under my skin. Maybe it's coz when I was a kid, I unfortunately won a scholarship to a snobby girls' college, which I hated - I was always made to feel like the "poor kid." Guess that hatred of snobs has never left me...

Remember, they say hate the action, not the person. I feel the same way...some people just grate on the nerves, and have a real abnoxious way about them. But for everyonoe that irritates you you might be irritating to someone else for a different reason. Maybe you just have a low tolerance for loud people, I know I do!!

...loud, irritating and probably too self-centered to even care about the people around them. I guess that's what makes them irritating. You do have a reason for hating them after all. Yes, that's normal. But try not to encourage the feeling.

I think its not them, but you!You're sensitive at the moment, and may have issues in your life you need to work out. Suddenly people around you become the centre of attention because you don't want to face the issues you need to deal with. They may be annoying you because they seem carefree.

Well Dora, I would say personally there are people I HATE too and they have done nothing to me. Its just a matter of personalities and who you like or dislike. It sucks big time when you work with people who drive you bonkers. Dont worry we can hope one day their just go away :)

Yeah its totally normal. You'd be surprised how many people we all can hate for no reason at all. If you really feel bad or anything, just talk to them and maybe they'll become a good friend, it's happened to me before.

Yes. I find many people very irritating. I think that everyone just has different likes and dislikes. That is what makes us human.

Hate is a strong word but I'd say its normal to dislike these types of personalitiesfor the most part.
I hate you for no reason, is that normal?

Inside out

I wore my t-shirt inside out today to work.
In fact I am revamping my wardrobe - I wanted a casual and cool-headed look - so in more cargoes and t-shirts and a scarf. I would love to wear cargo shorts but my curves and thunder thighs won't allow for it.

Today, I went overboard and wore my white t -shirt inside out - I was inspired by Matt to some extent (he came in wearing a white t-shirt inside out). Moreover, our company has no dress code and apparently I can wear anything that doesn't appear obscene.

Mumbaikars are too busy; no one noticed till One girl came up to me at the station and told "Aap ney shirt ulta pehna hein" I replied " i did it purposely" She stared at me for few mins and said "why"? "I told this is white t-shirt - however, the design comes inside and I wore it avoid making it dirty blah blah.." she seemed to be puzzled :D and retorted "So what if it gets dirty by evening" Her friend replies "she will were it ulta again" :D

At office, my HR with wide-open eyes retorts - "are you seriously wearing this t-shirt inside out ???"- I told "yeah - I want to look casual and bone-headed :D"
"Your husband didn't say anything?????!!!"
"HAHAHA... he didn't see me leave for work"

My manager asks "Hey Why are yu wearing this tee inside out?" I replied "Style - got inspired by Matt"
He: "Oh ho - then i too must try this!! hahaha! (he was kidding :-)

(Thanks to my sister in law - she got this white Tee for my husband and I am using it :D)

dodo love

Dodos are extinct.. Following is the love story of the last two dodos

dodo 1: I love you
dodo 2: I love you too
dodo 1: I hate you
dodo 2: I hate you too
dodo 1 punches dodo 2 and both of them fall down the cliff

(Mildly inspired by ice age 1)

A big difference!

You can shout, crib, whine, cry, back answer without fearing the consequences to your mom

but NEVER to your mom-in-law (exceptional cases are there though)
