Do i like watchin horror movies??..NO!!..i'm shit scared of'em..when i was young wheneva there was a horror movie being watched on the tv,i would either run out of the room,hide behind the sofa or crawl under the bed and close my eyes n shut my ears real tight..but i would still get scared n be the laughin stock of the family but i couldn't help it..they scare the daylights outta me..god help those who sit next 2 me while watchin a horror movie coz if i have forgotten to cut my nails(which is rare) they'll have scars for the rest of their lives!!
My friend wanted to watch a horror movie real bad dat too exorcism of emily rose..i told her it was a bad idea..but she was adamant saying dat its based on a true story..somehow she managed to convince me(something i'll regret a lot later!!) she said she read abt it in a community in orkut n wanted to watch it by hook or by crook..after a lot of searching n unsucessful attempts of downloadin it..we finally managed to find a dvd in a cd shop...i was gettin scared already..but she wouldn't listen saying she cant watch it alone..
We came back n put it in the pc n watched it covered faces..we constantly had our faces covered with our hands,peeping through the fingers..at this point we saw each other n burst out laughing..we were looking ridiculous,the slightest sound was scaring us...somehow we managed to watch the movie completely...
I came back home expecting dat i wouldn't be scared for a change but i was wrong!
everything seemed fine until bed time..i have a room of my own now..n dat day everything looked sinister and eerie including my bed..i was panicking like crazy so i decided to do something to take my mind off the movie..i decided to start painting something dat i hadn't done for years at 1 o'clock in the night...it worked i got lost in my painting but then i cant paint the whole night..so i decided to sleep..but i couldn't it was already 2:30 in the morning by then..i sent an sms to my friend wondering whether she was able to sleep..she wasn't able to sleep either..she was listening to music on her ipod n was finding everyone's voice including shaan n atif aslam's voice scary..hehe..we chatted like dat for a while but she fell asleep midway leaving me all alone still wide awake..i think i chanted all the mantras i knew and sang all the devotional songs i knew dat day..i dunno when i fell asleep but i did thankfully..obviously i got up really late in the mornnig the next day...
I took oath to not watch any more horror movies..but now my friend wants to watch the Exorcist!!!!..here we go again :( om jai jagdish hare...i think i should learn more devotional songs...

My favourite childhood memories...
If there's one thing i could wish for...it would be to go back to my childhood..i know its not possible but dats what is called wishful thinking..so dats y whenever i'm gettin bored or feeling down i recollect my childhood days when the world was a lot simpler and nice..as a child u r not aware of all the bad things happening in the world around us..that innocence was something one can never get back..but it can be cherished nonetheless...i still try to preserve the inner child in me..whether i'm succesful in doing that or not...only time will tell..
So today i thought i would write about some of my favourite childhood memories..there are many...but this was like a fantasy...
I was 8 years old when i came to hyderabad from faridabad..we stayed in hyderabad for a year and then went stay in the factory quarters where my dad used to work as the General Manager..the factory was situated in the outskirts of hyderabad..somewhere on the banglore highway...i remember the first time we came there..we were in a van...it had taken us almost 2 hours to reach there and i was sleeping on my grandma's lap in the van..she gently woke me up when we arrived...i saw out of the window and i remember seeing numerous eucalyptus trees..i felt as though i had arrived in a forest..then we got down near the quarters..there was huge ground in front of the quarters..surrounded by huge eucalyptus and ashoka trees..it looked as if those trees were protecting us from the world outside...i was amazed..just then my brother started crying..i dont remember why..Then we entered our quarters by this time all the other residents staying in the adjacent quarters had come to greet us..i felt like a royalty dat day..coz my dad was the seniormost officer in the factory and had singlehandedly managed to bring in some profits...so obviously everyone was going out of their way to be friendly with us.....
I would like to stop now coz its bringing too many memories and my eyes are getting watery...that factory no longer exists today...in its place lies an open wasteland...everything was demolished...but it will always remain in my heart...and when i'm ready i'll write about some of the wonderful experinces i had there...it truly was the best phase of my life and also the most defining..i discovered myself there...

My cool new Cooler Part 1
"Its a cruel,cruel summer" goes the song sung by Bananarama...and it is so very true...the heat nowadays is unbearable which is all the more terrible now dat i am staying on the 5th floor..hence dat song is constantly on my mind..infact i'm listening to it right now..its so apt for my situation these days...
My dad couldn't bear the heat any longer so he bought two new coolers a few days ago..one for my room and one for my brother's..the privilege of AC obviously belonged to my parents...no arguments there...period...
As expected both my brother and i were very excited at the prospect of having coolers in our individual rooms and hence we were eagerly waiting for them to arrive...they came at around 9:30 in the night along with my dad..At first i dint understand what it was..later i realised it was indeed my own cooler...the reason i found it strange was that i had never seen such a cooler before..and then my brother teased me that i never know what's the latest in the market..i dint argue...its true..who cares what's new in the market?? well..many do...i dont...i kept that thought to myself...
Both my brother and i had identical coolers but he insisted that his was a little better...he always does this..i pretended that i dint hear it...best way to avoid confrontation..so now finally i could have a decent night's sleep in my room otherwise i literally sit and kill mosquitoes there until i fall asleep which happens really late in the night...
let me give a brief description about my cooler..its from a company called bajaj..and the most interesting feature is that the part from where the air comes rotates in a complete circle..and then there is also a provision for adding ice to it..i'm too lazy to to that..so i never bothered..and some more features which i dont care about..all i need is nice cool air..as long as it is serving this purpose i dont care about anything else...
Anyone who has a cooler knows that the cool air comes at a price...its true in my case coz on the very first day when i was filling it,i went out of the room and forgot about it..BIG mistake!!...my brother screamed saying that my room has flooded! then it hit me that i was filling the cooler...i slowly went towards my room dreading what was in store for me...it was my worst nightmare..(well not worst..just an exaggeration) there was water everywhere..luckily for me..my room had a balcony so i coolly pushed all the water with a broom there..problem solved..but i remember when my parent's room got flooded like this one day because of the cooler..there was no balcony there...and the situation was so bad that all our bathroom slippers were floating in that water!!i was quite amused at the sight..i was wanting to make paper boats but then decided against it when i saw my mother's face..now a huge task lay in front of us..getting that enormous amount of water out of that place..it looked impossible because i could even see tiny ripples in the water..such was the amount of water there...but then both my mom and i told ourselves that nothing is impossible...
