Back in Action

Off late I have ignoring my blog..well its not ignoring but I never actually had the time.I missed two of my memes...Well in due course of this post I intend to fill it up!:)

My blog is actually becoming a collection of memes...I need to change that pattern...So i decided to take a break from everything...i just didnt want to blog memes...or rather fill memes or think only coz i needed to post a meme....

I was actually taking a break from the computer...I was getting addicted...now I am pretty fine I guess...lol...the deaddiction program didn't work I guess... :P

Lemme thank Rose, Anamika and Me for writing in and asking if I was doing fine!:) It was such a sweet gesture...

I was doing the memes side by side but I was not in the mood to post them! yeah...I had to login to my blog and type and publish and all that...Hmm yeah I am kind of lazy at times.The weather is such that you would just want to curl up with a hot cup of coffee under the covers with a book...i had the covers on me and the coffee...but I didn't read any books...I have 13 books on my desk which I need to read...I have neatly arranged them on my desk to remind me what I need to read!

Thursday Thirteen #8





Thirteen Things reasons why TT is the a Great Revival Of Soul Searching exercise for me


1.... All of us write and rewrite, snip and paste...every time we write a blog post. A lot of thought is put into everything we write. So its always a soul searching effort to list out thirteen things...(13 DIFFERENT things ). Just 13; nothing more,nothing less...You may have more to say or less...just say 13 things.......it is an effort selecting from a whole lot of points you have the 13 which is important. and it is an effort to think and conjure up 13 things...


2.... thinking of what to put up every week is really a very confusing task as, every subject is interesting to write about


3.... for people who love to write there is nothing better than doing this meme

4.... there is never a restriction on what you must write about!

5.... meeting new people and visiting their interesting blogs and making new friends is really an experience!


6.... every meme i post has a lot of thought put into it. I want it all to be so true and interesting and some thing related to me or something closely related to me.All my TT highlight that fact.

7.... My first post was writing 100 things about me, that was a pretty easy task..but writing 13 things about anything else is really very soul searching

8.... Now whenever I travel or sit idle I sit down and think of all the 13 things that I could compile into my next post

9.... Every word comes from my soul...sometimes I just sit here and just with out thinking the words just come up

10.... I never used to like the number 13...always considered it unlucky...but let me tell you 13 is one number i love!TT helped to totally change my perception of the the number 13.:D

11.... TT entertains waking up all those sleeping gray cells.

12.... to say a thing or 2 about anything is easy but to figure out 13 things requires a real sincere effort

13.... Even Figuring out 13 things as to why TT is a GROSS exercise for

me itself took a real sincere effort...lol
