How Do They Do It?

So how does a mother of three children all below the age of three update her blog regularly? How does this mother of three all below the age of five update her blog regularly? Or how does this mother of two, studying to be a doctor, experiment with cooking and knitting and update her blog regularly. Yep, time management. They do it so well. I wish I could write atleast tiny posts that are so very creative like her. Aah, I wish I could look like her. No, I wish I could write like her. :)

Things I love

I finish listing the things that annoy me and now it is time to list the things I love.

Books
Movies
Chocolate
Fruits drenched in chocolate
Excitement when you are interested in a guy
Rains
Winds
Mornings
Filter coffees in the mornings
Evenings
Shopping
Window shopping
Walk bare feet on grass
Gazing at stars in the night
Moonlit night
Walk on the beach when waves crash on you
Long drives
Sit under a tree to read a book or chat with friends
Sudden spray of water from a fountain

There are many more but could recollect only these.

List of Irritants

V asked me to list things that annoy me and she believes people who dominate people annoy me. I don’t mind people who dominate but they are annoyed with me. After all, only one person can be dominating in a group.

I am not sure if this space is going to be enough to list the things that annoy me, here it goes anyways:

Ill mannered people
Community/ religious fanaticism and prejudice
Dowry and all forms of oppression of women
People who simply cannot mind their business

I can list a few more but I suspect I have those qualities too.

Bookish habits

A questionnaire, I found on someone’s blog. Some dirty book habits revealed.

1. To mark your page you: use a bookmark, bend the page corner, leave the book open face down? I always use bookmarks. Dislike spoiling books.

2. Do you lend your books? Not really. I give them to very few close friends.

3. You find an interesting passage: you write in your book or NO WRITING IN BOOKS! I have another book for noting interesting passages and poems.

4. Dust jackets - leave it on or take it off. As much as I do not like them, I leave them on.

5. Hard cover, paperback, skip it and get the audio book? Paperbacks are easy on the pocket and lighter to carry. Audio books are convenient while travelling or when I am too tired to sit up and read.

6. Do you shelve your books by subject, author, or size and color of the book spines? No order.

7. Buy it or borrow it from the library? Mostly buy. Its thrilling to buy books. Library books are generally dirty and I tend to wash my hands after reading them. No, I don’t have OCD.

8. Do you put your name on your books - scribble your name in the cover, fancy bookplate, or stamp? I write my name before lending them. Don’t boo, they are mine.

9. Most of the books you own are rare and out of print books or recent publications? A mix of new and old but no rare books.

10. Page edges - deckled or straight? Straight.

11. How many books do you read at one time? Just one. Finish ‘em before jumping to another.

12. Be honest, ever tear a page from a book? No, never.

I don’t like answering these questionnaires. I like the ones which give you a score at the end and go on to describe you as a smart, sexy, and sweet woman, all of which are true of course. This questionnaire has no such ratings. I am doing it only for you Nikhil, grudgingly. Just kidding.
