little things that make me happy

Yes I am writing this on a Saturday night instead of getting wasted like a normal 22 year old, that is not because I don't have a life but because I refuse to follow the society; Fridays are my Saturdays. Anyways, back to topic. I am not even going to deny when you say I am a-bit childish, okay very childish, but I consider that as a part of my charm. (I might be a tad bit delusional too). As its evident from quite a few of my posts, I love making lists - so for your entertainment here goes another one!

1. Two word things - Bubble Wrap - Ice Cream - Snow Fall - Teddy Bears - Frozen Yogurt - Free Food - Roller Costers - Mega Sale - Lame Jokes - yea you get the point.
2. When someone calls me for food (it means I don't have to cook!)
3. When Moni calls me to tell me, "you lucky B****, you went off and left me here, now patao parents for me"
4. When someone complements unexpectedly making me turn pink in the cheeks
5. Jokes that only I understand
6. Mom calling me Betu
7. Dad trying (hard) to crack a joke
8. Bitching about people I don't like
9. Waking at 2 in the afternoon and realizing I don't have classes so I can stop panicking.
10. Finding money you didn’t even know you lost
11. Eating cake first thing in the morning
12. Good hair day
13. Listening to romantic songs when it is raining
14. Finding marshmallows in random food item
15. Nutella on anything
16. When one of my niece calls me their favorite aunt
17. When someone defends me even when my argument is completely pointless and maybe even wrong.
18. Looking through old pictures and laughing uncontrollably
19. Taking one awesome picture after a series of crappy ones
20. Moments in life when it is acceptable to laugh like an evil villain
21. Radio playing the song that you were thinking of at exactly the same time
22. Hugs whether I need it or not.
23. Sense of accomplishment when I figure out something (I am usually painfully slow at figuring out)
24. Someone trying really hard to convince me
25. Singing on top of my lungs and dancing to it when no one is around (note: Nilay & Namita, I want to do wii dance it again, soon!)

I think I can write more, but I shall refrain from boring you guys! 

Valentines Day

There Nipa, I am making this public.. I think Valentine's day is the most pointless holiday ever! It is over hyped and overdone like a bad cliche, and everywhere you turn there are hearts and balloons (the pink hearts really make me cringe)

I won't even deny I am a hopeless romantic and maybe till I was 15-16 I really thought very highly of Valentines day. What was supposed to be - show your love to people you love, its now become a gift giving extravaganza! Its not like I am bitter, trust me I am not! (chocolates and pastries varieties suddenly increase so I am happy). I just happen to think there is no need for a special day to celebrate love, every day is valentines day. In fact if you need a day to "remind" people that you love them, then there is probably something wrong there.

For me, people who are special to me, know they are special (they like it or not). As per my ritual since years, I will still buy myself some chocolates, Although I really wouldn't mind a nice dinner (take a hint, you know I am talking to you) :P
