I got an Award.... YIPEEEEEEE!!!

Yay.... lalalala... yuhu....yipee....!! If you're wondering if I've been hit by a truck and lost all my senses, sadly, you're mistaken..! I'm just trying to rejoice...! I've been awarded by Arshat  !!!! My first blog award...!! Yeah.. It feels good! And now that I've just seen the Oscars, I'm really into giving thank-you speeches and everything. So my speech goes like, "(very emotional... tears...glycerine induced, ready to flow...) Oh my God!! (my hands on my mouth...like those beauty queens) This is just so unexpected (I would've killed someone hadn't I got an award in this one month!) I'm...I'm so moved...I'm sorry...the tears aren't stopping... I'd like to thank... God, for providing obstacles in life, so that I could write about them and make fun of them. My parents... well, I thank them for providing the world with a precious gem, who'll bring world peace, reduce global warming, make Osama surrender...etc etc..! My sister...for...umm teaching me how I can use my nails...hehaw hehaw!! My friends...for having the clairvoyance of befriending me! AJ..for 'inspiring' me to blog. Manalee...for pushing me into writing. And last but not the least... Arshat...for giving me the award...my faith in humanity has returned... at least there are some people left to appreciate talent!!

Anyways, enough of my narcissist crap, I'll get down to business

Ok, so the rules for getting the award are 

a. Put the image on your blog
b. List 10 truths about yourself
c. Give the award to 5 other people
d. Provide meaningful quotation

The award reads "Fucking Fabulous Blog".

Waise toh, I've got this award because my blog is pretence-free and honest, so now I don't really know what truths about myself shall I reveal...! But I promise, all of them are true...obvio doofus... they're TRUTHS...they're supposed to be TRUE! Anyways, any case of heart attack shall not be blamed on the authoress. Yes.... scandalising secrets revealed ahead!

10)  For people who haven't noticed, "Like, you know", "It's like... you know", "Like" are my most used phrases. I've filed a lawsuit against Yashraj Films and Aishwarya Rai for plagiarising!

9)   I hate straightening my hair..!! But it's like childbirth... the process is laborious, but the end result is worth it! (I can see...imagine rather my college friends gasping for breath!)

8)   I never abused before 2007...! Seriously!! I was the quintessential convent girl! Still am, actually!

7)  Bachpan main when I was small, (I still am small even at 20... Damn the Gujju height genes!!) I wanted to be an air hostess...!! Then after some years, I wanted to be Shah Rukh Khan's daughter... I was just one step away from asking him to officially adopt me... the one step was that I didn't know how to contact SRK! Then in 11th, I wanted to be a doctor... till I got freaked by the sight of blood.... and yeah dissecting cockroaches! Then in FY, I wanted to be a CEO... until all B-schools unanimously decided not to admit me... and now, I want to be... err....well.... out of ideas now.... and professions too!!

6)   Contrary to point 7, I'm not at all an ambitious person...!! My only weakness... I'm too contented a person!!

5)   I wrote my first poem in 6th grade...! It was on friendship... And my mom didn't believe that I had written it myself and not copied it from my friend!! See, ghar ki murgi, dal barabar!

4)   I normally don't cry in movies... never cried when SRK died in Devdas and Kal Ho Na Ho... didn't even cry in Oye Lucky (to stop the screening, of course)... not even in TZP.... but the only movie I cried in was Na Tum Jano Na Hum. What? I'm telling you I really cried in this movie and you're laughing!?!? Rude! Yeah, I know, my taste in movies sucks!!! So, you can mail me your DVD collection, if you want!!

* For people who don't know... it had Hrithik, Esha and Saif.... and as usual, I had taken 15 people of my family to the movie... and by the end of the movie, 14 of them wanted to disown me and un-bequeath me from the will!

3)   I love watching K-soaps..... they're my daily laughter dose...!! I just love to see how melodramatic can some people's lives can be... and I think my life is filmy!! But, sadly due to pressure from my mom and sis, I can't watch them!

2)   I didn't really like Irfan Pathan the first time I saw him...! Yeah... you read it right..! I thought he needs a haircut sooner than anything on earth.... but then gradually over time, my love for him blossomed and now he's an integral part of my life...!! I wish the vice-versa was true as well... Ah! the pleasures of wishful thinking..!! Same for Imran Khan... I still think he needs an eye-brow job....! 

1)  If my college friends don't faint on this one, I'll have to conclude that they're the only shock-proof people on Earth!! I HATED gossiping before 12th...! I thought it was a criminal waste of time and never did it.. was not even interested in gossiping until everyone in junior college started gossiping about me and I started gossiping only to know what pleasure do people get in gossiping!! And, now, after 3 years of successful gossiping and bitching and being christened "The Gossip Queen" , let me tell you.... there's no bigger sadistic pleasure on Earth than gossiping!!! Yeah yeah, if you take a poll in my junior college.... I think I would be the most talked about person...! Seriously... the cat fights...the link ups... life for me, has really been filmy!! 

So, here were my 10 truths... hope you liked them! Even if you didn't I can't help it!!

About award-ing 5 other people... I'll keep it for some other time..!

And the quote.... well, I have loads.... right now, all I can think of is... "A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while he knows something"  A Gossip Queen's guide for beginners in gossiping!!

Where's the Real ME??

Trust me, I really feel that Hamlet must've been a Libran! For no one apart from Librans can be as indecisive and confused in life. My friends would agree on this one, of course due to the 'WHAT??' expression on my face, every time something happens!! How have I become so indecisive in life is something I really don't know... I never was in the earlier part of my life. Indecisive, emotionally dependent on people, always needing a Yes-go-ahead-whatever-you're-doing-is-right speech from my 'circle of best friends' , ready to cry at the drop of the hat, very gullible.. how!?! What have I become??

I was speaking to one of my school friends after a really long time.... and one observation she marked in me sent me into my now world famous thinking bouts. She said: What's wrong with you dame.... where's the firebrand Phoolan Devi of yore?? Where's the spark, the chutzpah, the Don't-mess-with-me-or-I'll-kick-you-where-it-hurts-the-most attitude gone?? And what's with the tears girl?? Nupur's lost somewhere... Go find her...

Actually.... where has the Nupur gone...?? I never was like how I'm today... people are getting 440 volts ka jhatka every time they hear me....looking at the person I've become today.... I was never so confused in life...always made decisions in split seconds, even if they were about which clothes to shop for.... that is when I went shopping.... an event which was as frequent as a Hailey's Comet spotting. Now, that's changed too... I beg Mom to take me shopping.... and give my I'm-confused-what-to-buy looks. My Mom's relieved though.... you're finally showing some girl like traits, she says!! And she's relieved for one more thing....my love for cricket has subsided!!! But that's just until Irfan's out of the team...!!

I don't give it back to people these days. Every one's at their liberty to come and say whatever they please to me, and I assure you, I'll listen to it without any hint of protest or retorting back with my sarcasms, which actually marked my identity once upon a time.... Just yesterday I had another friend who said: Why don't you just tell the person who hurt you, what she did...
But I won't listen... Am on my "Tulsi Mission" na... of seeing this world as a better place and making every one's life worth living apart from mine!!

At Hetvi's party (read the next post for more on it!!) Aanchal remarked: "Nupur don't lose yourself to be one amongst others.... This is not the Nupur I know". Now it was just a casual comment, but it summed up pretty much everything.... the person who has the capability of reading my silence marked a change in me .... There must be something..... I know there's something... I always wanted to TRY things in life..... I tried them and saw what a disaster I made of myself and how I successfully screwed up somebody else's freedom on Independence Day... Maybe I'm not meant for them... Maybe I'm suited to be just a sweet, docile, typically Indian (read: shy, parents and God fearing, sundar ,susheel etc etc)girl. And I've realised I'm the best when I'm like that... I'm loved like this and I'll always stay like this.... the bold, don't-care-about-anyone girl is not me....I'll never go anywhere near that... I promise... I've learnt a lesson, and will remember it even after I get Alzheimer's....
Aanch, in the next party, you'll have company.... we'll get high on coke...don't worry!!!

And for the first time without consulting my 'circle of best friends' for advice, I've made a decision for myself.... I'm going to go back to my old days.... the days when I never cried for anyone, when I answered back people,when I wasn't emotionally dependent on others, when I made myown decisions, when no one dared mess with me, when I had a different spark to me, a different live wire personality.... I'm going to my old days..... After all, one of the people from my "circle of best friends" did say: It's your life... it's YOUR WISH..... (Who said only love hurts.... indifference hurts more than love, more so when it's indifference from your love !!!)
