Very Inspiring Blogger Award

You see, there comes a point in your life when you’re sitting glued to a PSP screen, mindlessly blowing up police cars with a bazooka while standing  atop a taxi cab; and then you have this revelation, ‘What on earth am I doing with my life?!’ Well, I had one of these intense moments of self-loathing while wasting my holidays on GTA and large servings of high-lactose ice cream. Oh! Good old GTA teaches you so many things, besides driving.  Ah well, the only sensible thing that I could think of doing, next to try and apply for Hogwarts, was to write this post.

So first things first; I’m so terribly sorry for procrastinating this one for around a year (right!). Well, instead of blaming it on the schoolwork and the exams, I’ll just say better late than never.. 🙂 Last summer, I was nominated for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award (Yay! My very first award!! 😀 ), by these two incredible bloggers,

Seven Facts About Me

1. For starters, I procrastinate way more than I should. (No shit about that one!)
2. I’m extremely lazy. So lazy, that it’ll scare you off. The weird thing is, I’m the only person in the family who’s this dead lazy. For instance, take Sundays; my parents wake up at seven and start doing the chores, cleaning the fish tanks, decontaminating the house and what not! Whereas I wake up at nine and go about whining, ‘It’s Sunday for heaven’s sake! Why does no one in this house like to take a break for a day?!’ Um…yeah.
3. I gave my Boards exam for class 10th two months back, and the Council just announced that the results will be declared on 18th May; thus with everyone around me talking about the result all the time, I’m quite frustrated and seriously scared! Well, it’s quite a though time for everyone in their tenth year, here.
4. I’ve spent my entire session break aimlessly listening to Arctic Monkeys, and buying way too many books than this devious time will allow me to read.
5. Umm well, I love playing football! *

*but only with a group of intimately close friends (because I don’t want the world to know how much I suck at it…) You see, I’m more of a tennis and badminton guy… : )

6. I no good at convos. Well, I’m no good at comments either, now am I? Every time I read a post, I feel like commenting, but then there is this voice, somewhere you don’t really care about, which says that I’m just going to creep them out. And I don’t disagree. It has always been my fear; talking to people and then realizing that they don’t like you. It’s like a door slamming shut in your face. Therefore, I comment as less as possible and try not to be a creep. And I get extremely nervous when someone comments on my post; oh I love comments (no shit; who doesn’t) but it just gets difficult to talk to a person and not to creep them out. Well, let’s just end this point before it gets even creepier…
7. I recently made a few changes to the soft-board at my study table. During the exam period, it was crowded with motivational quotes, exam schedule and my time-table, now I’ve put this huge map of India and pinned all the placed that I’ve travelled to. Have a look…

I’ve covered a bit of South, the West Coast and a huge chunk of the Himalayas… But just look at all that that is still left!! Woah, I would need another life to completely travel India alone.. 😛

The Nominees

Now, I just want to thank all the people who’ve been stuck with since I started this blog, last summer. Thank you so much! *HUGS if that was you* And a huge shout out to all the friends that I’ve made so far… =)
