Celebrate the 50th... and Wear Sunscreen

Yeah... most people must have known about it.. that " Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen) "... Yet I found it recently... in fact a few minutes ago.. and I want to put down every word of it... How else can I celebrate best my 50th post on this blog... Yes, its a celebration...! Cos life itself is a celebration... Life - it just happens to happen...!!! Here goes: Baz Luhrmann - Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen) Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’97 Wear Sunscreen If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience I will dispense this advice now. Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth, oh nevermind, you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they’ve faded. But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now, how m

The 8RF Game...

Some crazy game that came along... I've been tagged by vatsap? Here are the rules: 1.Players start with 8 random facts about themselves. 2.Those who are tagged should post these rules and their 8 random facts. 3.Players should tag 8 other people and notify them they have been tagged. Eight Random Facts about myself: 1. There's music around me; on my comp or my iPod or my lips or atleast inside my head. Mom says I sometimes sing in my sleep. 2. I eat little and except coffee chocolate and ice cream nothing else means much to me. But i love to cook simple food, esp for my dad. 3. After a terrible struggle for 1st rank in class 6, I din feel very great abt it, so I never topped my class again. 4. When I was a kid I wanted to become a space scientist, so i collected info n paper clips n stuff about astronomy n blah, and wanted to be the first Indian woman to go outta earth. And when Kalpana Chawla did it, i was so pissed off that i tore up all my collection. 5. I was a computer gee

the Niche...

"Here I am - this is me There's no where else on earth I'd rather be" So true... Fully content... I just installed style xp and got some weird theme on my Internet explorer (yes, I still use ie). I have taken to iGoogle with a beach theme (which changes along with my mood swings rather than the time of the day as Google stated). I have a rocket dock hanging over the top of my screen whenever my mouse commands I have the desktop clean n my wallpaper in full view (which tends to change at least twice a day). I have a photographic view of the leaves wet in the rain against the beautiful blue sky captured by my window (the real one) which is adorned by a curtain, frilled up with my lovely bracelet. I finally got a usable table (previously crammed up with the comp), with a clock piece, an Autodesk coffee-mug-turned-pen stand and an Archie's piece, and a monitor to one corner. I have nickelback playing in the background (followed by a long list) I have no classes to

A Daddy's Day

Today a friend narrated an incident... One fine day his dad called up... Hi... What day is it ? It was a sunday.. so my friend replied : Sunday... Dad laughs and says of course it's sunday...but darling.. what day is it..? Now this guy bulbs... it wasnt dad's bde.. nor mom's.. nor their marriage day... he could really think of anything else... TELL...!!! the reply : dude.. it's Father's Day... This guys sheepishly says : eh.. happy Father's Day dad..!! It was so funny at first, but then he started talking. You know there are so many "days"; father's day, uncle's day, women's day. There were so many of them that we don't usually think much about them. But then i guess it made a difference to people. People do remember to say a kind word of thank you and recognise one's role in our life. So my friend actually felt bad he forgot Father's Day. He thought a lot about it. These "days"... I realizied, this whole idea was not
