Promise

Amidst the crowd,
Flashes and flowers

He smiled.

Dimple cheeks, smile on face

She made a gorgeous Bridesmaid.

She stood by him

When he took the vow

Smiled, as promised.

I do read comics.

Hardcovers or Paperbacks

If I had heard about that book, or read any interview about the book by the author and liked it, of course I will grab it when its available in the market.

Do you buy books spontaneously without any prior knowledge of what happens in it 

Hmmm… No. Reading the blurb first and if it created an urge to read the book, then only I will buy that book.

No

Worst book-to-move adaption 

Almost all… I never left cinema’s happily if it’s an adaptation

Book that should have a movie adaption 

No comments. I used to feel, when a book is adapted into a movie, the entire story lost its soul.

And That's How It Was...

Ha... So from the last post of mine to this, what's the change? Am one more year old now. :( (Just by numbers :P)! As its just by numbers, there is nothing to worry about it. I will remain as this young naughty smiling girl!

So am done with this year's Birthday bang (really feels bad, I really wish if the day goes on... wow... everyone is willing to do things, just to make you happy!!!). It was not that different from the past years, other than I slept at the midnight! You can imagine how it will be, when you have a set of crazy best friends, no matter what who will insist on wishing you at midnight. And by the time I woke up (Yeah, I need to say it was by 6.30 in the morning) my phone had a long list of unanswered calls and unread messages. The best part in it was, most of the messages where scolding me for not picking their calls and in the end saying, "hbd". What a great start to my birthday!

And my day began calling back to all those idiots, and as I expected no one answered my calls. In a way its good to be sad, when some of the most happy surprises are waiting for you! How would you feel, when all the groups in your watsapp have just changed the group name into "Happy Birthday to You"? Speechless, Awesome, Happy, Top of the World feel... and that was me for a few moments. Nothing to say and don't know what to do when there waits me a number of birthday messages and voice messages singing "Happy Birthday"!Blessed, Blessed and Blessed!

And its time for those crazy ones to call back and scold me before wishing. Sleeping on my birthday night (the greatest sin I had done on my big day, according to them), lot of love, scoldings all are coming my way along with some unexpected calls and missing some of the surer callers! Lunching with friends, chocolates, cupcakes (yummy yummy things specially for me!) and the best part of the day was waiting for me at home.

The little ones big surprise birthday plan and the bigger one acting as if she was completely unaware about it! It's awesome. when the two (the one who is at my home and the other who stays at hostel) made big big plans, even after knowing they can't hide it from her. And the way he thought about the perfect gift for her, the party they planned on the next day (even it didn't worked and we three happily postponed it to next Sunday) everything was just awesome and all these made my birthday.

Thank you people, for being in my life and making it beautiful. Love you all... And that's how my much awaited day was!
