The one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants  know the score or the leader until the contest ends: Boxing.  2. North American landmark constantly moving backward:   Niagara Falls.   (The rim is worn down about two and a half feet each year because of the millions of gallons of water that rush over it every minute.)  3. Only two vegetables that can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons: Asparagus and rhubarb.  4. The fruit with its seeds on the outside: Strawberry.  5. How did the pear get inside the brandy bottle?  It grew inside the bottle.    The bottles are placed over pear buds when they are small, and are wired in place on the tree.  The bottle is left in place for the entire growing season. When the pears are ripe, they are snipped off at the stems.  6. Three English words beginning with dw: Dwarf, dwell and dwindle...

Everyone must have at some or the other time come across some people who pretend to know everything about the world around... No matter what you tell them, it is known to them.. So lets have some fun with them.. The main purpose of this quiz is to rescue you when you come across some Mr/Miss. Know All..!!! I just got this mail today and it was really interesting. I thought of forwarding it to my friends first but then, the next minute, it struck me..may be I should publish it on my blog and share this with everyone out there.. So, here is a small quiz of just nine questions... Simple and Straight ones.. Nothing tricky about them.. Just read them and try to answer. 1.

Hmmm.. So as my title says..... My topic for the day is about FORKS & SPOONS...!!! Now , they don't need an introduction as they are very common to us in our everyday life, so much so that you must be even wondering what I have to write about them.....  Well many things... Just read on.......... Actually whenever I go to eat out, I am very very nervous about eating with a fork and spoon... I feel some things are such that you cant manage to eat them with a spoons and forks..... At least I can't..!!  Lets say... Pav-bhaji. . Now can you eat that without using your fingers..?? Even if you eat... Can you really enjoy the whole taste of it..?? It happened once when I went out with a couple of friends & we ordered Pav-Bhaji ... Now this one friend of mine, she was so so particular that she cut the pav properly with her fork n spoon...picked up that piece with the fork, dipped it in bhaji and then ate it... Ohh Gosh..how can you eat it that way.. I did not

So many things going on around.... "I Don't Know" what to write , to update, to say.. Sometimes they say when you have too much to say, you fall short of words.. I guess thats what is happening to me....!!! When will I be back to normal..??????

All the girls in my class were talking about it... I wondered what was so special. That evening, I told Di about it. She exclaimed, "Happens.. Common in teenage.. Nothing is real.. It's all Fantasy...Stay out..!!" But I was anxious. Stealthily, I went to the old book store and got my first MILLS & BOONS..!! ;) P.S. :- So was "MILLS & BOONS" a part of your growing up too...??? (Of course, this is for all the females on this blog ...!! ) :P :P Wish you a Happy Women's Day...!!!

IMPRESSION - A mark, a feeling that is left behind after the person is gone. . So true and striking.. Isn't it?? Impressions- something we create about people when we meet them and something people create about us at the same time... Its basically a two way process and many-a-times we form impressions subconsciously. We don't even think like I have met so and so.. Now let me form an impression about so and so...... It just comes to us...!! It is actually a combination of reactions and feelings that are a result of interaction. Impressions are formed sometimes so quickly - may be even in just one look.. and sometimes it maybe a result of knowing some one for a long , long time. Impressions can be good or bad, quick or formed over a period of time, right or wrong, longlasting or easily forgettable and even startling to the person whose impressions are being spoken about...!! I can say this very confidently because I have experienced it. This happened a while ago. It came to me a

A very strange, not strange actually...well you decide for yourself..what did u feel after reading this....!! What I am going to write about is true... I wrote this in drafts and dint publish it also for two days thinking if I should or should not.....but I think I must....!! What happened was....... I was just walking back home with my friend when on the way I saw a vendor with some beautiful small purses that were knit using threads of different colours.They were really beautiful..I just happened to keep staring at them even while walking along and exclaimed to my friend "Wow..they are so beautiful...!!!" Before I could even ask him to accompany me to that corner to have a close look at them, he said. " Why are you all girls like this..?? You like succhhh things..???" Hearing this, something about our conversation around an hour ago struck me - where I was talking to my friend about some Eye-Liner..!! Now I know talking about cosmetics and all sounds girly , but

Hmmm the title... Does it sound like I am suffering from some Post- Valentine Syndrome ..where in seeing all the happy couples around and love being in the air , I am sad and thinking of my own good times....??? Naaa ... It is nothing of that sort.. This is the title of the Book I read this week and it was so, so, so good that I just could not stop from writing about it here...!!! I happened to just find this book incidentally and it was not very big in size so I thought I would take it and complete reading it soon...(These days...I am hardly finding any time to read real, big novels..!!! :| ) So I got the book and started reading... And once I started, I found the book to be really a very nice piece of work..The language so simple, the characters described so perfectly that I could imagine the whole story in front of my eyes. Turning pages by pages, I would always wait for what next now...!!! The whole story being set in the present day Indian background, it was so easy to identify

Fair skin, silky hair falling on his forehead, puppy brown eyes , a smile that could kill any girl… I just could not stop staring at him.. He was looking so, so handsome. Just then he caught me looking at him. I smiled but he turned his face around. I was sad. I leafed through the magazine & started waiting for my turn again. But after around five minutes I looked back in his direction. There was something in those eyes that I kept looking back at them and they caught me this time too. And this happened every two minutes. He dint even return my smiles. I wondered if I should go ahead. At last when I could not resist, I got up, went to his chair, offered my right hand and said, “Hello, I am Urvashi..!! What is your name??” He reluctantly offered his hand, this time his lips did curve into a smile and he said “My name is Aarav. K. Rai. I study in Jr.Kg, St.George High School..!!” Ohh.. He said the whole thing in one breath and it was really such a cute introduction…The one I woul

Part 1 Part 2 Once again, life had brought us all at cross roads. We had to choose our careers as per our choices. In Mumbai, we have college right after class 10 . We were all excited about beginning our new phase of life...the COLLEGE life..!! We all explored the various options and as destiny would have it for us, Damini, Urvashi and I were all in commerce . Though Damini was in a different college, we could still meet up once in a while and discuss what was going on with our life and college... And Urvashi, she did not leave me here too... She was in the same college and we would meet up almost daily.. Time just passed and two years passed in a snap. It was actually one of the best times we had. Our whole day would pass going to college, classes, learning the debits and credits and the economic policies.....!! After 10 + 2, for our graduation, we all thought of some different courses and colleges once again. We all wanted to do something basically related to finance but none of u

Part - 1 Our school practised the policy of "Divide and Rule" ... Yes, they shuffled our divisions for our secondary classes but we were of course the students of the same school and we followed our own policy of "United we stand "... This in turn , led to "Divide and Unite..." Sounds strange naaa ?? but that is what happened with me. I became Binal's friend. Though I knew her and Urvashi earlier, we did not speak much. Now, as things turned out to be, I also became their friend and we met everyday during our breaks discussing tales of both the class rooms. Everyone had new friends and their old set of friends too.. So, in a sense, our groups started growing with us..... Then we all joined up the same classes for our SSC and that was one of the best times of my life, spent with my friends. Ours became a group of 5 eventually who always sat together, studied together and partied together... Yes those were the initial years when we started to celeb
