11. What’s your favourite quote?

Phew Finished these tags 🙂
“already a super human” – you said that so right. Its such a co-incidence that I was talking about you, Seema,SnS in the morning and telling him how well you people handle and manage your things and Im so impressed with all of you. You especially with the amount of travelling you do everyday and still have energy left for the weekends to do so much more while Im left panting like a dog with its tongue out by the time weekend comes! SnS and Seema – handling 2 and managing so well… So, if ever I was asked this Q/Q on my idol/inspiration – i would say you 3 are my Teen Deviyan!
Calvin – I LOVE Calvin too. Been eyeing the entire collection for a long time now. Will buy it someday…
arey I was just kidding…I am not super human yaar…there are millions of people doing so much more than me :):)
My dad has a big book of Calvin…he gave it to me when he shifted from Baroda to Goa 🙂
Sooper mama ! 🙂
hahaha 🙂 glad you enjoyed
hahaha 😀 loved it!!
Go to sleep if in trouble – by RM — bestestestest..I do that!! If I am extremely worried I goto sleep 🙂
it works na 🙂
Oh I think the whole country had a crush of sorts on SushSen during those heady days when she had just won the Miss Universe 🙂
//Get rid of AJ and go back to JA// Haha well said. I can’t stand AJ too!!
And you hit a boy so hard he had blood coming out of his nose? Wow , you must have been one strong kid!!
Gosh you wont believe what all we used to do to get her photos…beg, borrow and even steal…I must be totally crazy!!!
Thank God I found someone else who doesnt like AJ…most people I know, do!
Errr…I was a BIG kid..not a strong kid 🙂
I don’t like AJ either 🙂
hahaha 🙂
‘Go to sleep if in trouble..’ my favourite line,RM. I follow it to the dot 🙂
and that song.. does it have lyrics like that..have never heard it completely till now..
oh yes it does…even I didnt realise till the brat made me hear it like a million times on youtube…but seriously..its like the language in the song is made for R 🙂
Briefly:
Yes. Calvin and Hobbes is my favourite comic strip too
No. I had always preferred Aishwarya Rai to Sushmita Sen.
Regards
GV
I find Aishwarya very very stiff and robot like 🙂
well to each his/her own 🙂
C&H are fun na 🙂
Hahaha.. 😀 I Loved the song.. 🙂 the quote.. wait wait wait.. i mean the whole blog re… 😉
You know what is the most exciting thing about a monday morning –> Getting to read your blog.. it cheers me up on otherwise a grey/blue whatever day its supposed to be.. Of course I look forward to it on other days too.. but Monday morning.. its like reach office asap so I can read araam se.. 😀
Aiyo you are being very generous..glad you liked it 🙂
I also have a Scrapbook.. but of Hrithik Roshan.. 🙂
and the quote — *Go to Sleep In trouble.. is too good.. *
seriously!!!! I am not a big fan of that guy
Your scrap book with pics of Sush reminded me of my school days where I collected pics of Salman Khan and Juhi Chawla 🙂 When I told Abbas about my favourite actors, he said ‘Sheesh, what a bad choice you have’ and I said ‘Now you know why I married you’
LOL on ‘give me clean bathrooms though’ – No wonder R is so clear about her priorities 😀
You hit a guy so hard when you were in 4th Std eh? 😯
Me too prefer JA over AJ anyday 😀
The song actually has those lyrics? I thought R made it up 🙂 Got to listen to it 😀
I laughed out so loud when I read ‘Go to sleep if in trouble’. Simple, short and a great piece of advice RM 😀
no no the song actually has that lyrics…if R came up wtih lyrics, I am imagining how much money I can make out of her songs 🙂
I watched the song on you tube last night and was trying to imagine R singing it 🙂 Hey please record a video or audio of her singing na? Plz plz plz…
hahahah 🙂 I should
As always, I enjoyed reading this post! 🙂
‘Sleep when in troubel’ – I am learning to do that, and it works!
Glad you liked it 🙂
Oh you are an HP fan too?? and Obelix one too? Yayyy!!
arey totally huge fan 🙂
“I have a harrowing time answering My inhouse Miss.Why-What-When all the time!” LOL, reading your blog gives me somewhat similar of reading P G Wodehouse, i love reading him…..
“If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would you go?
Everywhere boss, everywhere…I have no preference in life..as long as I dont have to get up early and cook I am ready to go anywhere…give me clean bathrooms though”
I can relate to this big time………Add someone to entertain the brat & i am just fine everywhere :)……
Gosh thats such a rich compliment…PG Wodehouse is GOD!!! I am not even a minute molecule in front of him 🙂
LOL on taking care of the brat…I agree on that one definitely
I normally don’t like these 20 question kind of things but your answers were so interesting and each one said a little bit about you. Wanted to “like” all of them.
Awwww! thanks Bride..coming from you thats a big compliment
That has been my philosophy in life too. When in trouble, I go to bed and pull up the covers. Works best!
I agree..it definitely works for me well
ha ha ha.. u have lots of patience to type re.. i would have said, call me up and ask questions and i will give answers instantaneously. difficult for me type long answers/.
:):):)
Thanks for taking up the tag and enjoyed reading ur answers. Lol on your quote and preference for clean bathrooms and train journeys. Ditto for me!!
Thanks for the tag rey
Haha…nice answers RM. I’d do the same re the Brad Pitt one… what was he thinking? And still is?
I know…I really love JA..but again, to each his/her own I guess
Er, I had a scrapbook with Aishwarya’s pics at the same time! Now I cant STAND her! Weird huh? Though my biggest celeb crush was/is Rahul Dravid, siiiiigh! 😀
hahaha! I can still stand Sush…I was very upset when she went into Bollywood with that awful movie of hers 🙂
But again, now I think I do admire her stance of adopting kids, taking care of them, doing what she wishes…
I know..I am a big RD fan myself 🙂 (RD = Rahul Dravid not to be mistaken for my RD )
Those lyrics are funny… I’ll go hear the song… 🙂
Go to sleep when in trouble funda works for me too… 😀
they are cute lyrics..go ahead and youtube it
already a super woman – that’s for sure.. btw what is that khicidi language RM? you mean you think in all languages? genius you are.. ***Falling at your feet lady***
heheheeh 🙂
Awesome answer on the Brad Pitt question….Didn’t realise AJ and JA’s names are invertible when you say it like that…
Even I didnt rey..till I wrote it down 🙂
Hope things are fine…
How can you sleep when you are in trouble? 😐
Woh bhi bata do! 🙂
Errr….put a bedsheet on th bed, take a pillow, take a pothi and then put the pothi on your head and close your eyes and think of something nice..and zzzzzzzzzz Gah! whom am I kidding..I can cry myself to sleep 🙂
What is a pothi?
Errr…what do you call something that you use to put on yourself when you are sleeping to protect yourself from cold etc ..like a bedsheet….I dont know what its called in English..cover???
Yay you did the tag too! Was wonderful to get to know a bit more about you :). I loved the ‘not grown up yet’ bit :D.
hehehe 🙂 thanks
Loved your answers 🙂
I loved ‘The world this week’! I used to wait for it all week, and then on saturday when we had Computer classes, we used to dissect the news – what fun days they were! You brought back memories 🙂
I preferred Sush over Aishwarya – although I did not have a crush on her 🙂 I found her more sensible -I just wish she had never entered Bollywood, though.
I agree with you wishing Sush shouldnt have entered Bollywood 🙂
