Just when I was wondering what on earth to blog about, I got this new, shiny thing from Aditi. Tada…!
This means I get to devote one post to entirely pointless, self-indulgent revealings. Because see, according to the rules, I have to list seven things I love and award seven bloggers I love. So here goes…
1. Night-time drives. All sorts of conditions have to be met. Somebody else must drive because I hate driving. That somebody else must be silent so I can just look out of the window and pretend they don’t exist. There must be music of my choice. We must cross at least one flyover or under-bridge so I can think about the Icarus myth or the Persephone myth. Oh, and there must be breeze, lots of it.
2. Bollywood. Including the song and dance (and the ham and cheese).
3. Plans, lists, schedules, time-tables. Pretending to be organised, in other words. I actually get a thrill out of preparing these meticulously. (I have an excel sheet for every occasion). The problem is I get an equal thrill from flouting all these plans and declaring sudden detours.
4. Road trips / trees / birds. I put them together because my love for road trips (or any travel) has a lot to do with my love for trees and creatures. But I also love these (things?) separately.
5. Old houses in Calcutta, the ones with green shuttered windows, creaky fans, dusty corners.
6. Bath products.
7. Okay, I’m going to be boring and say poems. Reading, writing and editing them.
And I give the Kreativ Blogger Award to….
OJ
Amrita
Banno
Gopal MS
Girl on the Bridge
Sridala
Nitoo
just when i was planning to blog detox! will do it when i return please?
So with you on 1,6 and 7.
Oo, bath products. I have this yummy papaya thing I want to try out.
What an elegant list. Mine is so uncouth in comparison!
Sigh.
Loved your night-time drive prerequisites.
Thank you!
Dala: I’ll be watching you
.
Mamma: Really? Amazing to find commonalities, isn’t it?
Aditi: How are you resisting? Go reward yourself for a good poem or something and open the damn thing!
Scheherezade: Elegant? Okay I’m laughing out loud with one eyebrow raised. Hell, I thought Bollywood and bath products would protect anyone from such charges.
Banno:
WMWC: You’re welcome. But are you going to do the tag?
What I am truly awed by is that you actually type the whole of Scheherezade when you address me(my comments).
Wow!
Heh. This is indeed tres more elegant than mine.
Ooops. I missed this. I blame Goa.
Thank you. I’ll do the tag after I get back home.
Thank you, thank you! I’ll do this as soon as I’m computer-enabled.
