Welcome to the City of Aaaaangels

Hiiii!!!! Even though I'm physically as well as a choking cat... Mentally.... I'm Guhreat!!!!!!! We're going home!!!! At long last!!!!!! Our flight is at around 6. And after 2 and a half hours shut up and seatbelted in a flying tin can of hell.... Home Sweet Mumbai!!!! Oh yeah!!!
My friend R is still in Italy having a fabulous time.... And posting all these cool pics on Facebook making me jealous :p:p Another thing that's mentally affecting me... The piles and piles of HOMEWORK that I have left.... To sum it up... I'm screwed.
I'm currently obsessed with Muse. I found out about them through Dan and Phil.... Yes, they are probably all completely insane... But their music (or should we say Muse-ic... Hehe... Bad joke :O :D ) has something in it.... It just makes me want to listen till the end of the song... And then sit and think about it.... Then listen to it five more times... and then fall in love with it and tell the universe.... So to start off this new creative set of music.... Listen to Sunburn... It'll literally leave you confused :)
Just so peeps know... I'm in Kolkata. And it's raining! What the eff?? It's raining in summer!! Urgh!! So along with the repulsive state the city's already in... Add a couple of muddy roads and overflowing potholes. *pukes* I hate Kolkata. It's the Worst. I'll compare it to Mumbai where public transport is actually Wonderful. The buses (called B.E.S.T buses) are large, spacious, open and relatively clean. In Kolkata on the other hand... They're small and there are only a few seats resulting in most of the people standing and falling on top of one another when the bus moves. Also the fact that they have such small and few windows resulting in a multitude of Revolting Stenches. And then it's summer and people are sweaty... And then when it RAINED... There's this musty dampness to the entire bus and raindrops keep dripping on your face from holes in the ceiling and through gaps in the window frames. It was one of the most horrific experiences Evahh.
Then there's the bus conductors.. In Mumbai they stand in the center of the bus and sell tickets in a Civilized manner. Here the dude is leaning suicidally out of the bus and yelling the names of places on the route it's taking. Jeez. And since everyone's standing you can't see the feet of the people who are sitting... So the conductor trips all over the place... much like a blind cow.
Moving on from public transport.... The Pollution. (ta da da daaaa)
It's SO freaking polluted!!!! Kolkata seriously just smells of petrol and diesel fumes. It's freaky how when you step out of the house who begin to gag. How do people live here????? I'm not saying Mumbai isn't polluted.. It is. But at least taxis run on CNG (compressed natural gas). And when you step out of the house you can actually breathe without DYING.
Then there's the People.
In Mumbai if I step out in shorts...I will be stared at. Those dirty-men-who-always-seem-to-be-around-just- to-ogle-women will check me out. But they'll get over it. Here if I was stupid enough to step out wearing shorts... They'd probably follow me around and stare unashamedly at my legs. Yes. I speak the truth. The mindsets of some humans in this country is Beyond Awful. What happened to Women Empowerment if we can't even step out of the house wearing what we want??? Anyway... I'm not gonna launch into a Save The Women talk right now... Rest assured. So my point was that in Mumbai you stick out way less because there are all sorts of weird people all around you. Here everyone's dull and hopeless making people like me who believe in being creative about Nailpolish colors and such likes.... Well we're treated like glowing ballerinas on skateboards.
The Language.
Here people speak Bengali. I am bengali. I come from a totally bengali family. But I don't know the language THAT well. I can speak and read and write it... But I'm no pro. In fact when I speak to a shop keeper or someone... They all suppress mean smiles at my bad bengali. How Inhuman is THAT?? i feel like crying every time I have to speak to someone other than my relatives in this confounded place. Plus, being socially awkward... I don't like having unknown people laughing at me. In Mumbai everyone mainly understands Hindi... Which is a language which I can speak pretty well... So I don't have much of a problem... And even if I do... The Mumbaikars are much more accepting of those with a linguistic handicap. So THERE.
The  Food.
Mumbai is FAR more multicultural than this place. Here every corner reeks of shondesh (a kind of sweet) and fish. Seriously!! Everyone loves roshogolla (another type of sweet for which Bengal is famous) and I Hate it. My relatives all think of me as some sort of Fraud-Bengali because I don't like most sweets. I do find a select few really good... But they just call me picky. Mumbai has all sorts of amazing food and I'm free to dislike anything I want... No one will call me weird for not liking Vada Pav (This Maharashtrian potato thing in bread) because there are so many people who don't like it. Then the shops and the bakeries and food places are a million times better.
Also being in Kolkata... My phone bill is much higher as Roaming Charges are pretty bloody outrageous. I feel guilty every time I text someone :p
I could go one like this forever until the internet connection dies and the world ends... The fact will still reamin that Mumbai is my Heart. I LOVE that city like nothing else. And Kolkata sucks.

That's actually a poster of some movie. It means Mumbai is My Life. I've decided to show you peeps some snapshots (from Google :p ) of my city. (I feel extra city love when I'm homesick :'( :p )

That's a B.E.S.T bus. It's a double-Decker one... I love sitting upstairs...

Speaking of public transport, those are the local trains.... Lots of people eh? ;)

That's part of the Dharavi slum.Which is the largest slum area in ASIA. and probably the largest in the WORLD. And it's in Mumbai.The movie Slum Dog Millionaire was based on it. I didn't like it very much but the Oscar people did :O :p:p I'm not proud of the slums... Don't get me wrong. It's a part of my city.

That's the Bandra-Worli Sea Link. It's a really big bridge that's made traveling much easier.

That, my friends, is the Gateway of India. (Different from the India Gate in Delhi) It's one of the biggest tourist attractions in Mumbai. It was built for the arrival of The Prince of Wales, back when we were ruled by the Brits.

That's the Queen's Necklace. Pretty, right? Oh wait... I think I'm confusing this with... Oh never mind. It's still gorgeous. :) Oh and can you see that mushroom-like thing rising from amongst the buildings right at the back?? That's (I think) the Ambassador Hotel. The top it has this restaurant thing (Again... I'm not sure) that revolves slowly. So you can sit facing one direction (Not the band. NO) and not move... But you'll see a lot of Mumbai anyway....

So that's the end of my small guided tour of Mumbai from Kolkata!! :D
There's a lot more to the city and maybe... Some other day... If I feel like it.... I'll give you another tour of the city.... Ohhh.... I've got a FABULOUS idea.... But I'm not gonna say it right now ;) :p I'll keep it a secret :) Maybe I'll work it out soon... Well no. Not reeeaally since I have a CRAP LOAD of work. But some day... just like that video I keep promising to start on :p

Dobby is Fweee!!!

Yello :)
I am still in Santiniketan.... And I pine for home. Well, not really... but a little :p
I really need coffee right now.... It's insane.... The next person I see with coffee is going to have an ice-axe embedded in their skull.... Well not really ;)
I'm chatting with my sister-like best friend in the whole universe (check out her blog at theimmortalstorm.blogspot.in ) who's in Italy right now :p And I really feel the need to thank the inventors of the internet.... How it is that I can chat with another person in an entirely different continent.... So fast.... and best... basically for fweee!!!! :D

Dobby is fweee!!!!!!!



So I was just checking some stats on my blog... When I noticed that I've written 25 posts.... This is my 26th... :O Zomg.... It's been... what...a year since I began??? wowwww!!!! :p
So I'd promised to upload a picture of myself (a proper one without any wonky glasses on my face)... But the pageviews had to satisfy me...  And it hasn't :( So I'm gonna upload one next time. Or next to next time... Or let's just keep it at thirty posts.... YES. The moment I hit thirty blog posts... A picture shall come up. Regardless of the no. of pageviews and whether my conditioner went dysfunctional or not :p

With that said.... I really need to talk about a movie I saw recently.... It was probably the most beautiful thing ever!!!! :')
Those of you who aren't living in India and the several other Hindi speaking countries around here.... Will probably not have heard of it.... But if you can... Watch it with your preferred language subtitles... It's worth it :)
It's called Kai Po Che. I think the name is Gujrati.... So I have no idea what is means...
Wait... I looked it up. It literally means 'I have cut' which you say for when you have severed the string of another kite with yours. People do that here, in India... It's a big thing really.... There are competitions held where people try to keep their kite flying the longest while attacking others and trying to get away from others' attacks... See... The string of the kite is coated with a layer of fine powdered glass which allows for the airborne cutting of other kite strings... But it's difficult and requires quite a lot of patience ans skill :)
The movie isn't entirely based on kites...It's based on three guys... Best friends.... Their different interests and the way they try to live the best they can... Then earthquakes and The Godhra Riots happen... and a lot changes.... I cried quite a bit :'( It was ahhhmazing.
A book that came to mind while I was writing about flying kites was The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. It's Brilliant with a capital B. It based around the life of this boy and his friend and the Taliban rule in Afghanistan after the Russians left etc etc etc.... Not only did I get a truthful sketch of the situation in a neighboring country I know so little about.... It also showed me that there is no supreme force that's gonna swoop in and clear out the bad guys... Every has their own cruel intentions.... You HAVE to read it.
I've decided one one more thing. In my blog, I haven't once mentioned where I live in India. I don't quite know why.... But now I shall.... I live in Mumbai. Which is the capital of Maharashtra. Which is a state in India.
Wow... That felt great. Just saying... Finally :D
Okay... Now I have to go.... :p

Psyched Psych

Yo peeps!!!!!!
I am feeling so whole and content right now.... I'm afraid.
SO MANY THINGS have happened over these few days!!! :D
I am still a Rising Introvert though.... Nothing THAT life-changing happened :p
I'm also using emoticons again!!! :) Yayy!! :p
You will not believe what I did this morning... I went SWIMMING. I kid you not!!! I SWAM.
Oh lord.... I don't particularly like swimming... Too much hard work.... And too much water (I know all you mermaids are slamming your heads on the wall right now.... But come ON... It gets suffocating after a point)
So at first.... I was seriously regretting my decision to swim and clutching onto my dad's arm like four-year-old me had when I started going to the Big School. So now I don't like exposing my skin much.... Shorts, a strappy T-shirt.. That's still okay... But a full out SWIMMING COSTUME??? Noh way. It's not like I'm not proud of my figure or whatever.... I'm fit enough. (I know.... Unbelievable right?? But I'm not fat!) It's just.... Showing off so much skin?? Not my thing. So I kind of tried creeping out of the shower and quickly depositing my clothes on a chair and diving into the pool.... But being taller than everyone SITTING around me.... I was like the Eiffel Tower trying to hide behind some bushes. So I just jumped into the pool.... And nearly cracked my feet.... Since I stupidly jumped into the SHALLOW END. Great. But it turned out that I remembered how to swim and didn't drown like I thought I would.... My dad and I played catch with the ball.... And I felt like a dog. But it was still fun.... :D I know I shouldn't be such a whiny freak about everything.... But I was rather sad when we had to leave... Because that meant embracing the warm air....Again. So now I'm back home. We're planning on going again this Thursday... Fun :p
Ohhhhhh..... My friends from school came over on Sunday. It was the BEST. I'll summarize it in a few points for you guys since you're probably beginning to get bored.... :p
1. Gave them (Y, Chicken and Catlover) a tour of the colony... I live in a housing complex full of trees and several other building- in case I haven't mentioned before...)
2. Watched funny videos and played music on my laptop....
3. PIZZA!!!
4. Went downstairs and played with a Frisbee... I was so crap at it.... :)
5. Sat on The Baobab Tree.... I felt pretty Supreme teaching them how to climb up... Like... Showing them the foot and hand holds and stuff... :D We were up there for about a year or two... :)
6. Went to the sea shore and made some funny "Slow Running Embrace" videos and climbed some more trees... There also I felt like the Supreme Lord of the Universe.... Flicking my Golden Entrance Card to Infinite Sea Shore while they had to fill the Guest Entrance Book. Ha!! :)
7. Chicken left... Then Y and Catlover left....

In the middle of all this we made a LOT of prank calls.... Some were epic fails... But some were brilliant... I made these animal noises that I've learnt from Phil.... And they were hilarious :D
Catlover kept asking for two bucks.... And the other two basically died of laughter :p

So I had mentioned a long time back that I was working on a video, right? Well.... I was working on the THOUGHT of working on a video.... to make it simpler... I haven't started anything yet :(
But heck... It shouldn't matter.... Since I'm blogging REALLY frequently now.... :)
Ugh... I smell of chlorine.

I also watched this movie called Saving Private Ryan.
WHY DID I DO IT???????????? I knew it was a Steven Spielberg movie. I knew it was chock-full of violence. And I KNEW it would depress me for life. then Why the **** did I watch it????
I know... cuz I was possessed by a demon who wanted to burn my soul.
So it's during he WW2.... The Americans have been drawn in to battle.... 4 brothers from Iowa are enrolled... Three of them die and obviously.... It's very very very VERY hard on the mother. So a bunch of army generals and people decide to find the fourth brother and send him home. A group of 8 men are sent on a mission to find the guy.... Before they find him, 2 of them are killed in encounters... A lot of beautiful life stories are revealed.... Involving the soldiers... They were all just ordinary men who were forced into all the madness and bloodshed of war. They all had families and some were resentful of the mission because they felt that risking eight lives for one guy who might already be dead, was a daft thing to do. Anyway.... So they found Private James Francis Ryan eventually. But he refused to go with them because he said that everyone deserved to go home and he couldn't just abandon his fellows... It obviously hit him hard that his brothers had died in combat... But he held firm... So they planned an encounter with the Germans to defend their territory.... But most of them died as they were overpowered eventually... But then the Air force and reinforcements swooped in at the end... Saving a few of them. Ryan was still alive.... Hurrah. :'(
NEVER watch this movie. I repeat... NEVER EVER WATCH IT. It will DESTROY you to the core.

I really need to watch a nice chick flick and feel good about the world. Because my psych has been majorly screwed with. :O
I'm leaving for Kolkata this Saturday. Nooooooo!!!!!!!!!! :(
Oh well.


 Let's change tack COMPLETELY.
On Pottermore I got sorted into Slytherin. But EVERYWHERE else I have been sorted into Ravenclaw... I even have a Ravenclaw badge!!! So obviously Pottermore is the most reliable right??? But I've taken about a billion other Sorting Hat quizzes... And they ALL put me in Ravenclaw.... So is it safe to say that I'm one? Till then I'm a SlythenClaw.... Yay!!! Hmm... Grey Lady and Bloody Baron.... OMG it fits!!!!!
Okay so that's that.
I don't really know what else to say.... So I'll go... see ya :D

Alvida,
Squish.

PS: I'm not sure if I've said this before.... Good Girls by Laura Ruby... It's mainly a cool book :p
And also listen to Check Yes Juliet by We the Kings... Phil made this adorable video based on it :')
Byeee :)

Me Minus Sideways Faces

Hi. I'm feeling so tired I don't feel like using emoticons... I'm not angry or dissatisfied with the running of the universe.... Just tired. And content. But TIRED.
A lot has happened lately.... Surprising as it may sound... It involved me exiting the comforts of my house....

Firstly, I traveled to the suburbs where I spent most of the day at my friend Y's house. She lives REALLY far away.... So it's tough for peoples to congregate at her house often.... This was one of those days when a few of us managed to pull through.... I realized that spending time with your friends really does improve the quality of your life....
- You get good food.
- You catch up on others' lives.
- You get a lot of cool music, book, movie etc etc suggestions.
- You probably laugh more in those four or five hours than you could laugh sitting alone in an apartment.
- You find out that there are some peeps out there who have accomplished much less homework than you have and feel mildly better about yourself.

I don't quite feel like reciting events but I'll give you the highlights...
So my family doesn't own a car. So getting around is mainly public transport. Taxis, buses, trains blah blah blah.... We get along pretty fine without a car until.... There's a frikkin Transport Strike. So my friend came all the way from her far off house to pick me, and another kid who I'll call Catlover. (She left a creepy stalker-like comment on one of my posts). We reached about half an hour late after a lot of loud obscene singing in the car... The driver probably would have shot himself if it weren't for the fact that there were three teenage girls in the back who deserved longer lives.
At Y's house... My other friend (nicknamed lovingly as Chicken) was already there.... So we hung around and went down to the park and made our voice boxes explode.. And it was the best.
(It looks so weird without my usual helpful spattering of smileys and stuff)
We climbed onto this cool terrace-but-not-a-terrace and created a scene causing everyone in the neighborhood to turn around and stare at us... Yeah... We're pretty good at that...
Lunch was at this posh ( And I mean P-O-S-H) restaurant with fabulous food.... You should have seen the dessert tray... Our eyes (like Y had promised) went like this:



Yep...

I had the Tiramisu of Ultimate Happiness.... *sighs*
heck it wasn't really called that but it gave me a really HIGH feeling.... And I don't think it was cuz some psycho had sprinkled it with Ecstasy.

So this place.... We felt so out of place amongst all these rich business people with their heavy coats in the sweltering sun (the jackasses)... YES it was AC in there and it felt heavenly to not be sweating for once... But SERIOUSLY??? Coats when it's reaching the frikkin boiling point outside.. ?? Not clever. No. But I'm getting sidetracked here....
We spent the rest of the time either sprawled on the floor.... Doing what I do on this blog... Fangirl, talk about music, movies books etc etc etc.... But Chicken told me to listen to songs by Fallout Boy. She ADORES them... I think a few of them seriously need treatment or something....

Anyway... So I just had Chinese for lunch with some family friends... And while the grown ups talk about politics... I've retired to my room to update the universe on my life.... hmm...

I'm calling my friends over tomorrow.... I hope it's fun... Of course it'll be fun!! This is good. Mingling with other humans of my age is good. I should not necessarily call myself a social butterfly (Ha! What a joke) but I can call myself a rising introvert. Rising Introvert. Maybe. Yeah.

So I'll go now... Maybe do some math... YUCH.

Btw listen to this song called Young Homie by Chris Rene (from X Factor USA)... It's really nice if you like that kind of stuff... Also Renegade by The Styx... That also requires a a certain deeper sense.... If that's normal...

Alvida,
Squish.

Em for Mewsic

Hello people. The Wanted's new song Walks Like Rihanna has left me officially shell-shocked.
It's not horrendous or anything.... But it's not their best. DEFINITELY NOT THEIR BEST!!!!! Oh my effing god what the hell is wrong with them????? It's the most frickin RETARDED video ever!!!! And WHAT is so great about the way Rihanna walks anyway?? I bet Helen of Troy didn't Walk like Rihanna and yet The Trojan War happened. Yeah man. Sure. And there's that stupid woman going around and feeling them up... Gross. "She can't sing. she can't dance, but who cares she Walks Like Rihanna," It doesn't even frikkin RHYME!!! Don't get me wrong... I still love them. A lot. But I'm just severely disappointed. :'( There have been so many disappointing music videos recently...:( There was the video of Heart Attack by Demi Lovato which basically featured her dripping from head-to-toe in black tar.... And then Hurricane by Bridgit Mendler which has a very nice chorus but the video is just her singing. Whhaaaaa?????? Look at the video of Give Me Love by Ed Sheeran on the other hand.... It's fantastic!!! With the suicidal Cupid and everything :) And even in Drunk, the idea of a talking cat was pretty cool.... OOOOHHH and the video of Lego House was EPIC!!! I have no idea why I love it so much!!! Probably because Rupert Grint and Ed look so much alike... <3<3 I love the idea.... Wonder who thought of it... Ed probably... I dunno.... But it just touched me in a way only some songs do.... :O

 <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

Also the video of Blown Away by Carrie Underwood was pretty crap... None of her videos are particularly fabulous though.... Two Black Cadillacs is a great song.... But rather violent. :O :p A friend of mine told me about this guy called Hunter Hayes.... He has a great voice.... You should listen to Wanted by him....
Ohhkay.... That's enough about songs :)

I'm going to Kolkata soon..... We always go Kolkata. Every time. It's a bit tiring really. But anyway... I'm gonna get a guitar so I'm not complaining!!!! OMG!!! At last!!! My uncle's old one is around somewhere... YAY!!! Can't wait :D

I'm currently playing this song called Neon Lights by Demi Lovato.... It sounds exactly like Give Me Everything by Pitbull. I detest Pitbull. And Usher. And Taio Cruz... I just don't like their songs... They're perverted and creepy.... And all about You-Know-What. Most of the time... of course if you played some upbeat song with a good beat by them in a Jam Session or in a dance party or something.... I'd definitely dance along.... But just sitting and listening to their songs?? No way, Jose.

Okay I guess.... I'm in a really opinionated mood right now.... I just feel like talking about music....

Many times I just keep gabbing on and on and on about some singer or the other and his or her music.
Oh btw!!! Vote for Dan and Phil as the best Radio Presenters!!!! It's important!!! The 10th of May is the last day so hurry up!!! It's the Sony Golden Headphones Awards. Or something.
Here's the link: http://www.sonygoldenheadphones.com/vote/#.UYtSpkpIjMw
All you have to do is search 'Dan and Phil' and then select their channel.... Then give your email id... Accept the Terms and Conditions.... And you're done!!! Please vote for them.... If you don't know who they are, ( SHAME on you)watch some of their videos and THEN vote for them :) They're really funee... :D

With that done... I think I'll compile a list of things I could do today....

1. Dance Class (compulsory at 6... )
2. Start researching for the history project. (Waaay overdue... But better late than never eh?)
3. Start sketching my art project.

Sounds dull doesn't it? Well, c'est la vie.... I think that's how you write it anyway.... French people please don't send me explosives.... :D

Right. I'll go now.

Alvida,
Squish.

Two Faced

Hiii.... Today it's just gonna be a short post.... I'm feeling rather Alone. I don't quite know why I'm feeling Alone. It's probably cuz I AM Alone. Being an only child, I happen to be Alone very often.... But I don't always feel Alone. This Alone-ness is different. (btw peeps I know a word like 'lonely' exists.... But that makes me sound like some weird desperate sexual predator... Ugh). So I sit here feeling Alone. i really just need someone to talk to... And YES I know I 'm beginning to sound like Winnie the Pooh but SERIOUSLY... All my best friends are abroad or doing something worthwhile with their lives.... I'm sprawled on the floor, listening to Hindi songs... I don't quite know why.... But I am. And I'm feeling USELESS. Like I'm good at things, but not GREAT at anything :( I hate feeling insecure. It's annoying and makes me more of an introvert than I already am. i might as well disappear. I was singing Just Give Me a Reason by P!nk when I decided that I sounded nice enough and I should try recording myself.... And then I looked like CRAP in the video.... Why is it that I look passable in the mirror and HIDEOUS in pictures???


Don't you think so?? We should try a day without mirrors.... Or the backs of shiny spoons... Or polished surfaces.... Or stagnant water.... Okay fine that's pretty impossible sounding.... So maybe we should just care less what we look like because we're all just people and we all suck.... Oh crud I'm not going the right way.... We shouldn't care about our reflection much because it's what's inside that counts... Oh GOD no. Scratch that. We should just forget about our reflections and how much they suck because there will eventually be that Prince Charming (ahem... Gross) who'll come and sweep us off our feet.

What utter rubbish. I am beginning to sound rather batty.
I think I should go.

Alvida,
Squish.

When Everything Feels Like the Movies...

Hello people!!!! Yesterday I ACTUALLY walked around with some friends downstairs!! I realized that interacting with other humans really isn't too bad... I should try it more often. And the thing is... I keep complaining about how I don't have enough friends and all that.... Maybe it isn't only because people nowadays are self-sufficient arseholes... Maybe I just don't make enough of an effort... :O *falls to the floor after being STRUCK by such an immense discovery*
It's not like peeps are gonna come and jump at you with questions about your life and interests... No let's leave that to the paparazzi :p
Okay.... So I've been working on this video... But the thing is that I'm just not being able to download movie editing!!! It's totally dysfunctional... Anyway... Nothing too greatly interesting or embarrassing has taken place in my life lately... So I think I'll do a mad movie review...

So in the event of extreme boredom and the fact that while doing a projects... Multi-tasking is possible... I've been watching a LOT of chick flicks... :p Yesterday I watched one called John Tucker Must Die.

Initial Verdict: Stupid Waste of Time.

Evaluation:
John Tucker: He was a total player. He treated girls like crap. HOW did he turn good? In one instant he was all, "I'm wrong... what I do is wrong" blah blah blah.... He'd been doing that for ages. He had to be pretty crafty to have made sure that he hooked up with practically the entire female section of the school!! So why go to ALL that trouble.... And then admit on a stage in front of people that WORSHIP him... That's he's a total fraud?? Yeah. Sure. And in the end... He still dated like two girls at once. Revolting.

Kate: She was so smart. I know what it is like to not be popular at all.... I know what it's like to have people not know you for who you really are... HOW did she manage to get manipulated by those three psychotic girls?? I would never fake-date a guy and then break his heart in two, just to be in the limelight.Why was she so intent on helping those three??? Hadn't she seen enough to know that those three were using her? Lord, why do they make them so dumb.

In General: HOW does a freaking CAKE FIGHT end the male chauvinism in that school? Oh wait. It didn't. It was just an excuse to end the film as they probably had no idea what to put in next. Also, from what I saw... John Tucker was so fake.... I could throw up. I mean, he was such a blandishing creep... HOW did anyone fall for him? I mean... No one can be THAT glamored by FAME. Come on.

Final Verdict: Stupid Waste of Time.

BURN!! ^^^


RAWR. I exist to criticize stupid movies. 

On the other hand... I discovered that 27 Dresses is my favorite movie of ALL TIME. I can practically RECITE dialogues from it :p It's just PURR-FECT. Everything is purr-fect.

And two of my favorite actors/actressesare there!!
Katherine Heigl and James Marsden.

I loved Katherine Heigl's role in Grey's Anatomy. Isobel Stevens was pretty awesome.... Even though I din't like her in many ways... I still loved how she played her part so well that every time I see Katherine in a movie or on TV I go "Izzy!" 

James Marsden was BRILLIANT in Enchanted :p He was soooo perfectly annoying as the Prince :p  and also that he's unavoidably hot :D 

 A movie review on 27 Dresses would go somewhat like...
Initial Verdict: Supermegafoxyawesomehot 

Evaluation:It was funny, real, glamorous, emotional and perfect in every way.

Final Verdict: Supermegafoxyawesomehot 

If you haven't seen it.... WATCH IT FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!!! WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE?????

From the makers of 'The Devil Wears Prada'. Watch that movie too!! It's got Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep... And it's really nice... :)

Doesn't this picture itself give all you chick-flick lovers a good vibe???

"Slightly delusional and will believe anything anyone tells her" :p He was such a piss-off :p


Kevin: "Don't you have any needs?"
Jane: "No, I don't. I'm Jesus,"

YAYYY!!! Go Kevin you married the divine incarnate herself!!! Good for you!!


Jane: "Just one!"
..... After some time, climbs on to the counter with Kevin and sings Bennie and the Jets with the WRONGEST of the WRONG lyrics EVER <3<3<3 

When the bride walks in, look back at the groom.... See his expression when he sees the girl of his dreams walk down the aisle... *scrunches up face and bawls*

I think his face is a bit.... Like that... Because of the sunlight... :D


And all those dresses.... I couldn't help but think that the poor freak who had an underwater wedding wasn't there in those flippers Kevin had unearthed in Jane's wardrobe during the informal photoshoot... :p

So that's the end of my take-you-through-some-shots-of-my-favorite-movie-ever....

Also I realized that I like a lot of Anne Hathaway movies.... I think she's a great actress... Very real.
So you should totally watch Bride Wars which you should have already seen :) 

Movie Suggestion: Confessions of a Shopaholic.
Book Suggestion: Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbit... (I read this when I was eight or something and didn't like it at first... But then i read it several times over and fell under it's charm.... I'm still in love with Jesse Tuck.)
Oh and if you like Natalie Babbit's style of writing or the way she manages to fog up your senses... Read
Goody Hall and The Eyes of The Amaryllis.... They're unforgettable too..... Obviously... I read them once each around 3 to 4 years back.... But I still remember the plot crystal clear :O
Song: Free Life by Natalie Maine

also, Consider This, Breathe, Bleed, Wreck of The Day by Anna Nalick... She's sooooo amazing!!!! The tunes of her songs sound simple but actually, it takes a while to get them.... She's really talented... I don't know WHY more people don't know about her.... :(

I could keep suggesting stuff all day.... So I think I should go now... :p

Alvida,
Squish.

PS: This post's title is a line from Iris by the GooGoo Dolls.... I LOVE anyone who recognized it.... :p

Morning Murder

Do you know that feeling of contentment you get when a video you've been working on for ages and ages goes viral on Facebook?? Oh gosh.... I feel like all my troubles have ended....
Okay. Exaggeration alert :p
But seriously.... I think I mentioned before that my friend and I were making this really funny dare video... With dares given by all our friends and stuff.... So we finally uploaded it... After YEARS and YEARS of editing :) Everybody LOVES it!!!! I go on fb and I see around 25 notifications!!! I know that this is a REALLY small triumph... But the stuff the two of us managed to do... We'll be living legends for quite a while in our small little community.. :D
It feels AWESOME to FINALLY be in the limelight.... And get some of the attention we're so bloody hungry for.... YESSS!!!!!!!!!!
Okay. I'll stop boasting now :)
On a more serious note....  I haven't finished ANY of my holiday homework.... I'm practically engulfed in it... It's beginning to scare me... :'(
But I'm going to vow that I SHALL finish a large chunk if Bio today.... Along with some other stuff....
Oh LORD yes... I have to tell you this....
Today, before I left for dance class, I got this call. So I answered it with a casual "Hello?" cuz I couldn't identify the number.... Then this horribly familiar voice answered back... But I wasn't sure so I asked who it was.... IT was the teacher in charge of the magazine. Oh MAN. I was for the noose then.
You see.... A while back a classmate of mine and I were elected to write a piece about our Delhi-Agra-Jaipur camp.... We kept delaying and kept delaying... Disregarding the student editor's warnings about telling the teacher.... And now we're screwed.
So she starts hollering on and on and on about how we're all careless and callous.... And I was so flustered that I promised we'd send it in by tomorrow. Now this would all be okay if it was actually WRITTEN. My genius of a friend (if you're reading this... I don't mean it as an insult :p ) had told her that we'd written it and it was with ME. My friend... Let's call her Y... texted me in the morning when I was still asleep or something, informing me of all the stuff she'd told her. I didn't read them BEFORE I got the call.... So I was about to say "We haven't written it yet. We're so sorry," when she said "Y has informed me that the article is with you," So I changed track like ZAP. "Oh yes Ms!! I have it... We'll send it in by tomorrow. I'm so sorry," And after another good two minutes or so of lecturing... She shut up.
I have never really had such a creepy conversation with a teacher (especially on a PHONE).... So it left me deeply shaken. I know, I know I'm making a mountain out of a frickin molehill.... But she was sounding so murderous I thought she'd bite me if she could. *bites the air menacingly*
Not a very good start to the day, is it? :p
Also dance class was DISASTROUS... I was so tired towards the end... I nearly collapsed... I managed to hold on and almost cried with happiness when it was time to go home... I love dancing, really... But after not exercising for so many weeks.... Suddenly practicing the martial art-y kind of steps KILLED me.
I'm really really really tired.... But I just had some gooey chocolate cake and we're having Subway for lunch!! Yaayyy!!!  So since I want to brighten up my reader's lives... I'll post some fun pictures.... :p



I'm in the mood to fangirl.... :p OMG Sherlock!!!!!!!!!! AAAHHH!!!! <3 <3 I also think that Benedict Cumberbatch is a fantastic actor... Well. Any guy who can talk that fast is OBVIUHSLY brilliant... :D






This was before Sectumsempra happened... :O I love Tom Felton. Not in the creepy stalking way though... He's a phenomenal actor and (DUH) immensely Hot. I mean, just LOOK at the guy :p
I blame Draco's parents for the way he turned out.... If Lucius and Narcissa hadn't always been so scornful of muggles and muggle-borns... He wouldn't have been such a spiteful loathsome cockroach...
I can't help but feel sorry for the the guy.. He never really had a choice.... His parents, Voldemort, family, blood, expectations... Did you know that he doesn't end up marrying Pansy Parkinson like everyone had predicted?? He marries someone named Astoria Greengrass... They have one kid named Scorpius (Mentioned in the book... in the 19 years later segment)... ( I fiind Scorpius a ridiculous name... Seriously... Why would you name your son after an insect??)


I absolutely AHDORE this one.... :p How bout I draw it for next time?? I'll see if I can manage it into my busy schedule of Internet, Reading and Biology :D Scabbers is missing though.... :( But he was Pettigrew so I guess he doesn't deserve to be here.... The holy trio.... I bow down to you... * Bows* Then remembers Buckbeak (aka Witherwings) and bursts into tears*...

Next time... Or the time after that... Or the time after that.... I'll make some cool edit... Photo or video or something... There's this cool site for photo editing called pizap.com. It's loads of fun :)

Anyway... I'm STARVING and the food hasn't come yet!!! AHH!!!! I think I should go now... Written enough for one day :p

Alvida,
Squish.

Ps:
Book suggestion: Virals (It was so good I DIED)
Song Suggestion: Violet Hill by Coldplay ( I haven't said this before, have I?)
Movie Suggestion: The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (Both 1 and 2) <3

The Deep Love For Friends...

Today my laptop went dysfunctional..... I nearly cried....  Let me tell you the horrific tale...

I was sitting quietly on the floor.... Headphones on, watching Brave (Don't judge me!! It was sweet!!) and it was nearing the end where everything was going to be all 'Happily Ever Aftery' when suddenly.... The animated world slowed... Their voices became baritones and the images flickered and I knew there was something wrong.... Pausing the movie quickly, I switched tabs to where Dan And Phil's Season 2 Finale of The SuperAmazingProject was loading.... And they were in slow motion too!!! It was so creepy and insulting that I closed Firefox and tried playing some music... In hope that everything was fine.... And I'd go back to the movie after a bit.... The music didn't play... I was beginning to seriously freak out... I tried all sorts of methods to start it up.... But to no avail.... No movie, no son would start up.... My computer seemed to have slowed to one seventh of its usual speed.... Terrible fragmented thoughts flitted around like mad butterflies of death. What if my laptop were ruined? What if there was some terrible destructive virus killing its innards soundlessly in front of my eyes? What if a crazy undetectable trojan had somehow got in and was wrecking havoc in the quiet districts of my laptop!!?? I quickly turned off all programs and ran an Anti-Virus Scan.... After a long sweltering worrisome hour where I tried to take my mind off things by drawing Bio experiment apparatus.... (FAIL).... The scan was complete....
My laptop was declared VIRUS-FREE!!!! I was so relieved.... But then why was NOTHING playing?? I tried watching some stuff on YouTube but it kept giving me crap about some plugin crashing.... But I wasn't as worried as I had been before... At least I knew my PC wasn't infected... So I put my comp to sleep and dragged myself to the main comp in my parent's room.... And watched stuff there....
YES. I know I'm pathetic..... But would you believe it?? I actually finished a bit of work today!!! Amazing, right? So my dad came back home and told me to reboot my comp... So I did... And everything was fine.... I can watch Ed Sheeran's music videos now!! Yay!! I'm invincible!!!
But seriously... Having my laptop act strangely made me feel like my best friend was hospitalized.... It's creepy how much most of us geeks love our gadgets.... Really.... If my laptop died.... My sould would probably self-destruct or something....

So after that chilling tale.... I must leave as my dad is standing here lecturing me about how I must sleep early and improve my bad habits....  I better go.... :(

Seeya guys....

Alvida,
Squish.

Zombie

I KNOW. I've already written one blog today.... But when I was coming home, I had this surprising realization in the elevator. I have written 15 blogs. 15!!! So to celebrate this... I've decided to put up a picture of me!!! Yeaahhh!!! I'm not making it my profile pic.... It ain't nice enough... But I'll do it anyway.... Here goes...

Yeah... That's me.

No I am NOT taking wannabe emo pictures.... Those are SPECTRESPECS.
If you don't know what they are..... You should start crying because karma will get you. And karma's a bitch.


There. That's Luna wearing them. 
I made mine so OBVIOUSLY they're different.... 
Anyway... I wish I owned her earrings too!!! <3

So that's me... When I reach 25 blogs and the number of pageviews pleases me.... I will upload a proper picture of me... So since I really want to know if anyone is actually taking the trouble to READ my blogs... PLEASE leave a comment.... I have this feeling that I'll be majorly disappointed... :'(
Also... If you find them interesting... Then PLEASE subscribe.... It isn't at all wrong to follow someone's blog!!! It isn't stalking or anything lame like that!!! It's being nice... And making some wallflower like me feel NOTICED. That's what we all wanna be right??
For more tips to be noticed etc etc etc check out the other blog.... Address given in the previous post....
So please... Keep in mind that I really would LOVE anyone who subscribes... Please do!!

Enough with the begging :p I have this sad feeling that in a week or two I'll still be at two measly subscribers... Though I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! But since I know both my followers personally, it's rather depressing... 

 Someday, I'll be, singing really loudly,
And some cool dude, will happen to hear me....
Then he'll, ask me, to feature in his CD...
And I'll be famous, suddenly.
This is just a dream....


If you didn't figure out which song I dubbed the lyrics for... Gosh you need YouTube Rehab. 
It's Taylor Swift's 'Mean' people!!!!!!!!!!!!! :p

Anyway... I have been staring at the screen all day... Which I do EVERYDAY. I still haven't got glasses... 
(Real serious glasses.... Not spectrespecs mind you :D )... And I really don't want them.
It's actually rather shocking I haven't got any... I mean... I can like.... Picture the keyboard in my mind.... Ugh. I'm pathetic. Actually NO. That's cool. I'm not a comp geek. I'm an art geek who lives her life 2/3 virtually and the remaining 1/3 just about scrapes by... :p

Now I really do need to go or my mum will kill me... :)

Alvida,
Squish.

PS: Song Suggestion: Avril Lavigne's Here's to Never Growing Up... It's awesome!! Can't stop singin it!!!
Oh and Dead Man Walking by the Script is also pretty awesome... That's another song that I couldn't stop singing.... Especially during this year's school camp.... I probably drove everyone insane... :( :p






pLeasant

Would you mind very much if I started posting videos on my blog??? Not every time... Just... Sometimes... Special occasions... Something so bizarre that.... Lizard parachuted into tennis courts.... Stuff like that.... I'm not exactly aiming to be a Vlogger.... No sir-ee... Just an occasional... "Hey here's my face!" type of person... So just a casual reminder that a friend of mine and I decided on one exasperatingly hot day.... To make a blog called hystericalhermitsunited.blogspot.in . Do check it out!!! It's quite funny.... Apart from the part where we usually spiral into this giant VORTEX of mad fangirling...
I just realized that the word MUGGLE isn't in the dictionary... SHAME ON YOU GOOGLE!!! Muggle. There. Added it. *marches around the room pushing aside chairs and face cream*
I'm in this rather peculiar mood right now...I dunno.... Watching all those Dan and Phil videos has made me realize that I can actually... SERIOUSLY... Do exactly what I want... Once I'm out of Junior College. I  mean... My parents say I can be exactly what I want!!! So I can totally pursue my dreams... I guess.... YEAH. I shall.....

My Dreams.

1. To be a singer.
Specifics: not some unknown vocalist on YouTube who NO ONE knows about apart from her best friends. I want to be someone who's RECOGNIZED. I need to be!!!!

2. To be a published author.
refer: PUBLISHED. (Not some loner sitting in a laundry basket, writing perverted poems in Venezuela)

3. To be a Stage Actress.
Specifics: No filming... On the stage... With those spooky lights and the curtains and the sets and the collar mikes...

4. To be an Artist.
Specifics: This is 100% for fun... I'm not selling anything.

5. To Travel The World.
I sound Wannabe. But I want to go to Europe again!!! I mean... I was there for a bit more than a year when I was about 0.5 years old!! I can't remember a thing!!

6. To be a Columnist.
Specifics: When I'm old and weary and have had a great life of glamor and fun.

7. To meet The Wanted.
specifics: RIGHT NOW IF YOU CAN!!!! I DON'T GIVE A SHIT!!!!!!!

8. Oh wait No. 7 was pretty.... recent... As in... It's not a dream I "wish to fulfill"... I could meet The Wanted tomorrow for all I care... :p

So there ends my list... I could probably go on for the rest of this month.... But I won't do that... ;)

Right. So earlier I was watching TheSuperAmazingProject videos which are HILARIOUS and creatively informative :D:p And I thought.... Wow. All those people doing such creepy things. I mean there was a person found with 78 freaking pieces of CUTLERY in his stomach!!! And a woman had a fight with her boyfriend and ATE rocks or something!!! Aiiiiii!!!!!! On Grey's Anatomy a dude ate ten judy doll heads... Fascinating eh? But that's a show... These are FACTS. ugh. I'm not gonna get any sleep in days now.. :'(

Also... Why is calling someone a PEASANT to drastically offensive?? I mean... From my knowledge... They are the ones who work the hardest... They are stronger, more hardened to tough situations and have been through loads more than we with our gadgets and uptight attitudes ever have. I mean... Look back at Indian History... The British (nothing against British peeps... No offense meant...) taxed the peasants so much that there were mass peasant-famines... People DIED. They were forced to grow only indigo... And if they planted other crops... They were BURNED DOWN along with everything else they owned!!! In India, still, peasants and farmers don't exactly have it easy... There are so many suicides and so many families are left without a supporting member... True they mostly aren't literate and live in extreme rural areas but... Okay I get it I should stop.
Just cuz I don't understand the logic behind this particular insult... Don't mean I'm gonna walk in to class and go "Yo  peasants!! Wanna par-tay??" no that's just... Disturbing.

Yeah... That's pretty hilarious... :p

There's also the time when Dan's teacher called him a peasant... Jesus.

Is this the first picture I've ever uploaded on this blog??? I think so. OMG. I must be such a bore. Lord. I am so going to brighten up your lives with more than just writing from now on... :p
That sounded wrong.
My mind is rotten.
I need to go clean up my room....

Alvida,
Squish.
