What if I am a better actor than you think I am...?

Serious...what if you think I am the way I am only because I want you to think I am that way?

So the original status message was 'What if I am smarter than you think I am...?' and the reason behind putting it that way was to see what people would say and in 2 days put 'What if I am more stupid than you think I am...?' which really is the original actual question. But you know when people read something like that, they come and tell you 'oh come on, don't be silly' instead of actually thinking about it.

But anyway after a small chat with a friend and explaining what I was meaning, the idea of saying 'better actor' came to me and it sort of fits :)

So what if I am just acting to be all smart and you are falling for it?


P.S. - Thanks for the new name Bhavna - 'The Pretender' sounds very interesting. Hehe even better than 'The Troubleshooter' or 'The Updater'.

SMS girl...

Realized a valuable lesson today -

You can always reach anyone you want... You just have to figure out the the right way to get to them.

Shark time...

I watch the show Shark.

Quite like it. I am not so much into court room drama but over here they show the cases being solved while they are on trial so I guess that's why I like it.

I miss Law and Order SVU :(

It's World Water Day

More than 1 billion people on the planet don't have access to clean drinking water.

• 884 million people, lack access to safe water supplies, approximately one in eight people.
• Each year, 3.575 million people die from water-related disease.
• 2.5 billion people lack access to improved sanitation, including 1.2 billion people who have no facilities at all.
• Every 15 seconds, a child dies from a water-related disease.
• Millions of women and children spend several hours a day collecting water from distant, often polluted sources.
• At any given time, half of the world's hospital beds are occupied by patients suffering from a water-related disease.

Water Crisis in India

India’s huge and growing population is putting a severe strain on all of the country’s natural resources. Most water sources are contaminated by sewage and agricultural runoff. India has made progress in the supply of safe water to its people, but gross disparity in coverage exists across the country. Although access to drinking water has improved, the World Bank estimates that 21% of communicable diseases in India are related to unsafe water. In India, diarrhea alone causes more than 1,600 deaths daily—the same as if eight 200-person jumbo-jets crashed to the ground each day. Hygiene practices also continue to be a problem in India. Latrine usage is extremely poor in rural areas of the country; only 14% of the rural population has access to a latrine. Hand washing is also very low, increasing the spread of disease. In order to decrease the amount of disease spread through drinking-water, latrine usage and hygiene must be improved simultaneously.

I find these facts so hard to digest. And I guess that in itself should make me feel grateful about the kind of life I and the people around me life.

I am grateful for the 24x7 water supply I get.

Dizzy with HTML tags

Don't you just hate when you know something well enough to start something up but don't know it well enough to get it finished quickly?

Learning HTML and decided (yesterday) to create a web layout using HTML (just for practice. I do know that dreamweaver exists). After about 40 mins of trial and error my head was just buzzing with codes and numbers and percentages and I don't know what not.

So the site is about 50% done if I leave it in the basic simple structure I created. But I think I should do more work on it and use more of the tags that I have learned. After all it is just for practice.

Northern Lights :)

This is something I want to see in person. Hopefully it will happen.

Strange strange strange day

What a strange day....


V R at Wmps

Am wondering if Colours (TV channel) is being run by a group of feminists...

Seriously look at all the women oriented stuff there.

Now I understand that even saas bahu serials revolved around women and stuff but this is different. Shows on Colours is more social in nature. They talk about woman upliftment, female infanticide, traditions and customs etc.

While I am glad that the one show I watch on the channel off and on helps me be grateful about being an educated, well off woman in urban India, I think the channel is pushing this whole social thing a little tooooo far.

But I guess I shouldn't talk. Most women (/families) would watch at least 3 saas bahu shows even though all had nearly the same thing going on in the story (just at different points in time).

Anyway Balika Vadhu is a great show. It is nicely made. I would recommend it anyday. At least the way it is going on now. I hope it doesn't go down hill. I'd rather have makes of a show end a serial than watch much loved serials becoming crappier and crappier.

A channel asking to stop a show because of TRP rating falling is a good thing in a way. It means that the show has outlived its popularity and acceptance. I'd rather that a show I like end nicely than fall from it's greatness in such a manner.


(For the record I hated Kyuki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi)

Nayan Tarse

Nope I am NOT missing anything that terribly.

Nayan Tarse is a song in Dev D

Needless to say I like it a lot. Dev D has some very different music. While I didn't like all the songs, there are a bunch which I did like. Emotional Atyachar, Pardesi, Duniya and Nayan Tarse are great.

Enjoyyyy (Short version)

Like Will Hunting...???

I feel I am killing my own potential... Well okay not killing but at least not living up to it.

In case you don't know 'Will Hunting', it based on the movie Good Will Hunting. Nice movie. Worth catching.

It's been a great 'catching up' day :)

First met a lot of people at dinner.

And then chatted with R, C and P. The island buddies hehe. While C is like a regular, it was great catching up with R and P

More days should be like today :D

Gmail has ruined me...

I don't delete emails anymore. I mean Gmail doesn't even give you the size of the mail so I am thinking this is exactly what they want of people. But why???

Haha okay my attempt to be over dramatic is failing but seriously I don't remember 'cleaning out' my Gmail inbox in a long time. Which I use to regularly do with my Hotmail and Yahoo accounts.

Sure it doesn't matter and I am barely using the space they are providing but I always think it is important to get rid of those things which are not important. Free youself and things around you.

Play For CRY

Very interesting hangman game - http://www.playforcry.org/

Interesting concept....

Sumita sent me the following link she came across -

http://www.brandtags.net

I think it is a very interesting concept. Not only does it help brands know how aware people are about their brand, but it's a good test to see what people associate most with their brand name if the brand is not known.

I have lots of suggestions for the website but didn't find a 'feedback' or 'contact us' link

Even their more advance comparison of brands ummm game is great cause it shows how one brand is viewed in line with the other. Of course the real deal would be if the 2 brands being compared are in the same industry.

Anyway an interesting concept none the less.

Hating creating these PPTs

These = PPTs where the scope is so huge that you can go on and on.

Knowing where to stop is also an art.

Killer Assignments...

Joined a writing workshop.


The assignments are killer cause writing is no easy thing.


My respect for a good script has grown 10 fold in just 10 days hehe.
