Banter Battery

Two thumbs up for Point ten, section 2. :)

I'm pleased to hear that you are on the mend! Thanks for the mention, I really appreciate it!
I was tagged three times in two weeks and I still haven't got around to doing it yet!
Good to hear from you again!
(I must STOP using ! all the time.) 8-)

hey..thanks for answering the questions..!! got to know so much more about you..!! and I am glad that you are getting well..take care..

Scared of heights..? C'mon..try it..try it to give it up forever..coz it wont be there..someone said..fear is the perfect spur to courage...and that courage is just a choice away..do it once and see how comfy you would become on the next go...
And going to a movie alone...thats is horrible. I know a friend of mine who went once, alone and till date, i am not able to understand his mental plane/inclination on that day...i prefer beating myself to death if given an option....
BTW, good to see to back.. :)

10 things that make me smile
1.Jokes

lol...i know its so obvious but i laughed when i read it! :D

Reminds me I have to respond to the tag Supriya gave me... lot of power cuts are not allowing me to do my work properly.

afraid of cockroach and insects?

Muahahahahahahahahaha!!

dude ur scaring me! i was saying "me too!" thru most of this!

You really are on a tag roll!!

Ohhh Jokes make you smile? (:~0…Yes yes you are veryyy predictable now. LOL !!!
Jokes apart, congratulations!!! You’ve achieved the rare trick in the blogger world. But, I can’t award you a TOPI as much as I want to. :)
Enjoyed reading about the 10 things which you don’t have guts to do. But I’d have loved to know how many among those 10 you would actually like to do ;)( except the 7th of course.)
And I think you don’t need guts to speak about anything to a person whom you actually love and who loves you back. Right? Try it and do let us know what you decide on it. One thing I’m sure of is that you will get annoyed with the adoption laws of India.

Totally out of context, why is this particular post not given any of those so called 4 category names?

A tag well done. :)

@Oldmonk : gee..thanks :)

@Alice : Thanks & welcome.. hehehe..jjust like I must stop using .... all the time.But nevertheless, i think they are cute, so why change?? your ! all the time too speaks of ur style of emoting...so why stop??

@Supriya : thanks for tagging me dear..:)

@Garf: am too adventurous to not have tried yet.. have gone trekking, rock climbing, crossed waterfall moving hanging on to a rope tied across it.. each venture made me more scared.. will descending mountains and rocks, i look at the closest point rather than the ground level.registered for bungee jumping and paratrooping but pulled back 'cos i knew I'd freak out..now with marriage and all on the corner, I am settling a bit down (atleast trying to). about going alone to movies, am a person who loves my solitude as much as being with friends..love going shopping alone with myself, love to go to the museum, zoo and stuff alone; but yes, to the theater I just can't make myself go alone.

@Blunty : *jump *jump * turn * jump... atleast someone smiled and that tooo blunty... *tired, so settles back in bed.

@Farila: power cuts can be mighty irritating.. I loved them when I was in school, now I don't..

@Sorcerer : yeah..can say that.. they remind me of how I felt about guys when I was in 4th -5th standard.. the same fear mingled with contempt and every time i see one, i can't help scrunch my nose. :P

@the wandering minstrel : that reminds me, we need to talk soon.. so alike, yet never spoke.. who knows we'd discover a whole load of more similarities..it would be greaat to have a friend just like me (lol.. speak about blowing my own trumpet)

@Butterfly : you bet!!! and best part, I loved doing all of them...

@Asif : TOPI means?? sorry me not a techie..so these technically shortened computer syncronyms are lost on me..would like to do 1,2,5,6,7(obvious) and maybe 9(lots of people who are dear to me, don't really realize the intensity, just 'cos I can't make myself call them each single day, and be verbal about all I feel for them - or can save situations where I cannot hide my dislike for someone's behaviour or attitude)

Yeah.. gone through the adoption laws..they are pretty complicated , expensive and time consuming, but guess a bit of a trouble is worth it.. I know, i can discuss anything with my guy, but for now, am taking it easy.. have the whole lifetime to discuss it.when he'd know the intensity of my wish even without my words..hope so..and if this is just a wish and am not matured or grown up enough for it, in some time I'll realize that too..

so called 4 category names?? wat does that mean? m clueless..

@Shanu : aap aaye bahar aayi.. and a comment too.. Mokambo khush hua..thanks yaar. :)

Yeah you are right, even if you realize such things in course of time, even if you become much matured(which you are actually now)-you will always be a kid for your mom/dad/sister who care for you. Now you understood why you are still a kid?
And about TOPI, Aray babaaa it means hat/cap. After all isn’t it a HAT-trick? Didn’t you deserve a HAT for your effort? And you made it go flat by comparing it to some computer ‘syn’acronym. :)
I guessed that you would like 1,2,6,7 but never even thought that you are a person who likes to do 5th…hehehe. But for the 7th one, I’m actually very proud to have known you. Three cheers to such a wonderful and kind gesture. I wish he understands your inner feelings soon and I wish he supports you in all such matters of heart.
I’ve gone through the adoption laws myself long back and trust me they are very irrelevant and sometimes I find them kind of vague.
I hope you are doing well now and hope you said goodbye to those colourful gems.
The four categories are spectacles, fiction, ponderings, and sentiments.

@asif : there goes the problem.. they think m too matured..my sis is more of the kiddy kid naughty one at home than me. am more of the silent one and the moody one.. maybe result of being overprotective of my elder pretty sis since i was a toddler..had to act mature to get her to obey me..though they know, m much of a chirpy kid outside and in my rare good mood times at home too. :) and both are not repressing any behaviour..its both part of the "me".strange but true. maybe the term you gave me is uncannily true -kidult.

I hope so too..he is very supportive and understanding in everything. But I'd want him to really want it too rather than just giving in to my wish. 'cos even if adopted, a child is the responsibility of both the parents.and no child can be happy if even one parent does not really feel he/she is their own from deep within.so lets hope for the best..

am doing well,except for the sleeplessness part and the stubborn cold is still there.. hope another dose of injections won't be necessary.

oops! I had forgotten to put the category.thanks for noticing and lettign me know.. done, now!

Yes you are 100% right in saying that a child is the responsibility of both the parents.
Stub-born??? What else it can be?After all you let it stay soo close to you for such a long time. I think the bond is too strong to break ;)
Take Care.

You weren't keeping well? I hope you are all better now.
Manu is adooorraaableee! :)
I think I share all your "Things you do not have the guts to do", apart from 3. I can kill an insect or two to save my life!

All in all a tag well done.:)

Oh dear! I have left you an award on my blog too! But you can just take it and paste it instead of going through all this again!
Big Hugs!

Congrats for the tag..Keep blogging..

lol. but ye, we totally shud :) add me on Gtalk for instance can be one start :) reema dot banerjee at gmail dot com.

Another tagged post!! but nicely expressed. It was fun relating ur reactions to the questions with mine. That vegaland ride is quite awesome. i was not dead, but screaming aloud, only to find whatever I have eaten going outside through mouth, once I finished the ride :)

Hey there :) I really like your blog, and agree with numbers 1, 2, 4, and 8 on the first list.

xx Blaize.

@Asif : Guess, you are right (though I hate to admit it :P )

@Choco : Yea, not yet compeletely well, but mending. So great to see you back.. missed you; and in the time that you weren't here..loads happened. I even got 'encaged' ;)

@Alice : Wow!!! Thanks a ton, dear.

@Netha : Welcome to Banter Battery! Thanks :). Hope you'd enjoy the bantering journey here..

@subu : thanks.. hehehe..yes that was exactly what happened to 70 % of my other friends who were onboard too.. the rest 29 % sat in a corner and refused to go on any other rides. so that left just me. they thought I was plainly the boldest and fearless of all.. They silence is golden. I agree. My silence of my extreme fear, made them think am super brave. I din't correct them too.. *wicked grin.

@Blaize : Welcome to Banter Battery!! Thanks a lot.. Hope I'd see you around and active in this Banter Queendom :)

@wandering minstrel : done dana don done :)

Perhaps this is the diff bet boys n gals
