Hmm..interesting alphabet with a plethora of possibilities.My mind opens up to a kaliedoscopic,completely unrelated assortment of thoughts.So here is my list of the things,emotions,people,books etc etc when it comes to the letter L:
1)Love:Obviously the first thing to pop into one's mind is this completely over used,abused n misunderstood term called 'love'.According to me,love is not an emotion,its a state of being...Enough said..PERIOD.
2)Lust:Its curious how love and lust invariably get connected together when more often than not,they have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
3)Lethargic/Lazy:It is usually the characteristic feature of every bored college student like me..Infact I regard myself as one of the most laziest persons to have ever graced this planet.. ;)
4)Laughter:"The best medicine" and I couldnt agree more.There's nothing more relaxing than a good laugh and for that a "good" sense of humour is essential which I have in truckloads!
5)Lavish/luxury:The thing which was luxury yesterday is a necessity 2day..Talk of changing times!
6)Leadership:Its a gift,not everyone is born to lead and its high time a few of our politicians realised dat!
7)Lungi:This humble peace of clothing is actually symbolic of everything Indian..Right frm Punjabis in the north to the idli loving tam in the south everyone identifies with it and it is uniquely Indian.Anything that comes close to it might be the Scottish Kilt but I prefer the good old Lungi(I dont wear it though :p)..Pssst..Rohit Bal actually made it fashionable..but I dunno how many guys wud approve..hehe. ;)
8)Laddu:I love laddus! There are many varieties of this unassuming ball of sweetness..I find them really cute to look at..ofcourse I like them better in my mouth.
9)Laloo Prasad Yadav: This guy never fails to amuse me..he is so unintentionally funny! But he's a tough cookie..brought about a paradigm shift in the Indian Railways.He might be the butt of all of Shekhar Suman's jokes but he does have a thinking head on his shoulders.He is someone who is totally at ease with his persona despite being ridiculed at often.He has earned my respect.
10)Linda Goodman:I normally dont believe in astrology or numerology etc etc(no offence to the people who do) but reading this book was interesting coz many of the traits dat I have were aptly described in her book.Go read it if u have nothing else to do.
11)Lord Of The Rings: "WOW!!" I think dats enough to sum it up.
12)Literature:Mankind's intellectual indulgence! Where would we all be without it?I shudder at that thought!
13)Lesbian:I have no issues with them as long as they dont make a pass at me..Believe me its one of the weirdest things to have ever happened to me.Its one of those situations where u are rendered speechless not knowing wat to do or how to react coz it takes a while for ur brain to register what happened.
14)Lost: It has different meanings in different contexts.The television show by the same name is interesting but usually confusing..miss one episode n u'll be left scratching ur head wen u watch the next one.(I'm talkin frm experience.) I knw of many people who are 'lost' when it comes to what they want out of life..Fortunately I found myself in time.
15)License:I still have to apply for one.Yeah yeah I hear someone retorting "U still done have a license??" Well I dont n I never got caught..Muhahaha!! I've put it in my list of "to do" things which is never ending.
16)Leonardo da vinci: What a genius this man was! Da vinci Code is one of the most intruiging books I've ever laid my hands on.A friend of mine was so fascinated dat she actaully thought of taking up Mr Langdon's profession as her own only to find out dat its purely fictitious just like the book.
17)Leonardo di caprio:Hehehe..I almost always end up taking their names in the same breath.He's a fine actor..I liked him in 'Catch me if u can.' I'm yet to watch 'Aviator' and 'Blood Diamond'...
Dont expect me to talk abt Titanic! I've had enough of dat movie!! Dat Celine Dion's number gets onto my nerves!! Wat does she mean wen she screams 'my heart will go on' anyway?? Is her heart going to leap out of her chest n run away? I wont blame it if it does..anyone or anything in this case wud want to run away after hearing her sing dat track! One of the most over rated songs ever!!!
18)Lagaan:Amazing movie! Too bad it dint win the Oscar but I dont think its a big issue.I still love the movie,Oscar or no Oscar.
19)Lhasa:I feel saddened at the plight of Tibetans.I personally feel the Olympics should be boycotted! We Indians are more enslaven by our fear of antagonising China than the paece loving Tibetan monks n ordinary Tibetans fighting for their birth right.Its abt time we showed them our solidarity with the cause.
20)Langoor: The monkey with white fur and a pink behind.Its a very bizzare sight but funny.I saw them at the zoo n i must admit they scared me.
21)Lassi: Yummm!!!! I just had it y'day..Its so refreshing after spending time out on a hot summer day..Cheers!
22)Lady Nadira Naipaul: The better(and taller) half of the celebrated author V.S.Naipaul bears an uncanny resemblance with "Cruella" of '101 Dalmations'.This observation is purely based on her physical attributes only.
23)Lollipop: Oh how I loved these things!! I still do but I think I'm too old for it now..Nah!! I dont care! I still have them sometimes.
24)Lisa Kudrow: She immortalised the character of 'Phoebe Buffay'-the quirky,kitch,n funny..The series wud not have been the same without her! Her comic timing is just mind blowing..Kudos to u Kudrow!
25)LeT: "Lashkar-e-Taiba" one of the largest and most active Islamic militant organisations in South Asia has taken the word 'fundamentalism' to completely new level.They are creating havoc with their misguided views on Islam and 'Jihad' succesfully giving muslims a bad name.Its a shame.
26)Liars: "Liar,liar pants on fire!!" we wud scream in school wen we caught someone lying..Nothing much has changed..We all still lie n will continue to do so..only difference being the extent to which one chooses to lie which changes frm person to person.
27)Lemurs: Dont u just love those adorable little things frm the movie 'madagascar' I just love the lemur king with his funny accent and a fancy crown of leaves..
"I like to move it..move it." All hail to the lemur king!!
28)Litter: The roads in our surroundings are the biggest dustbins...one can throw anything there right frm a banana peel to unused plastic bags..its amazing isnt it? The best part is the roads also double up as spittoons!!Now dats something to be proud of isnt it? Give it a thought.
29)Lord Voldemort: The most feared wizard of all times..someone everyone loves to hate..The power of "He who must not be named" leaves u in awe.I had expected him to die in a colossal show down but he meets his end by a simple disarmament charm.But I must say the HP series were a integral part of my teens..I've been reading them ever since I was 13.The waiting and anticipation for the next book was exhilirating..I'll miss all the speculation and gossip..Take a bow Ms Rowling..take a bow.
30)Laser surgery: There isnt a single body part left dat cant be "rectified" with laser..skin,eyes,teeth,excess fat etc etc..u name it!..I wonder wat the "vanity-insanity" will lead to next..
31)Linkin Park: I LOOOOOOOOOOVE LP!!! For all who dont like LP..EAT DUNG!!
32)Laconism: Someone told me dat there's a thin line between taciturnity and laconism..Very true indeed.
33)Looney Toons:"Hey..watsup doc??" Dont we all just love Bugs Bunny?? I sure do..Daffy duck,Porky pig..so on n so forth..Best cartoons of all time!
34)Life: Different people..different perspective. A line dat stayed with me after I watched Shawshank Redemption.."U can either stay busy living..or u can stay busy dying." Go figure.
If u have actually managed to read it till here then give urself u huge pat on the back! dats commendable :P...I shall borrow a line frm Looney Toons to end my blog.. " That's all folks!!"
