Saw BJ2 *Briget Jones 2* last night as well. Not as good as the first- nevertheless funny watching two clueless blokes slapping each other with their wannabe ghetto fighting. I love it!

Or the way Hugh Grant says "I didn't sleep with Bridget, I slept with a nice thai girl- who turned out to be a nice thai boy"

"I dont read" should be a valid reason to slap the man/woman who says it! Its become extremely annoying, the number of people who dont read and think its so hip n cool to flaunt their ignorance!

Letters!! Am I the only one who writes them anymore?
I miss being written to..:(
Nothing can ever be as personal as a handwritten letter..I remember throwing a fit when i received my first printed letter from a friend who had emigrated to Muscat.
It felt so ...distant.

So wait. Who tagged you? And who you tagging back?
And regarding,
"75. What did you have for Lunch/Dinner: I *will* be having fish curry and rice."
I *will* be personally strangling you when I come to India next week. I haven't had fish curry and rice for like 3 years now!

I would like to say something about those who "don't read". While I *heart* reading, I don't think its fair to judge those who do not. Some of my MOST FAVORITE people in my life don't love reading as much as I do- but I don't see it as a personal flaw- its just their thang. They might be more into photography, or singing, or dancing.
I find that fulfilling.

I wish i knew you wanted to be tagged. The ppl i tagged for the 55 word story politely ignored me! Evil bloggers.
Pls to be writing 55 word stories? I would love to read. And as always... nice to know *so* much more about ur life. We love to share dont we? :)

Meenu: We should watch Monsoon Wedding again soon. Why? Well, unj vi.
Dumaketu: As it is, you people know more about me than I do.
Kestrel: "Yeah RIght" is officially my sister's trademarked line.
Anony1: Thai lady boys are scaryily tough to make out. Especially when you're drunk. Though I thought it funny that Hugh Grant had to use that line seeing his past history with transvestite hookers..
Vij: Let's go around slapping all the people at Seijo some night.
Kate: I'm writing you a letter. Where in Tulu Nadu do I address it to?
hob: Parth tagged me. I'm tagging eveyone whos blogs I read. MMM..I also had Koliwada prawns for dinner last night.
Sanjay: As do I..no one here can make a decent one except the bartender at the Regent in Bandra..
Meenu: *hugs* I know what/who/why you mean.
Dumaketu: Did you just say epistle? Woohooo! Looks like someone likes reading the dictionary as well..
F-cubed: I HATE SMS LINGO!
Priya: Hahah! Daddy indeed had fun yesterday. Says he doesn't feel 60.
Archster: My 55 word stories won't be much fun.

More things about Vikster:
(a) Can't live without parenthesis. Check the blog title, the blog description, profile, or any blog post...
(b) Loves comments to his blog posts. Will probably freak out if a blog post goes without anyone commenting on it.
(c) Is totally an ass guy.
(d) Always acknowledges people he comes across, whether online or real. Even if they might not be agreeing with him. Can't sleep without that.
(e) Probably dreams about settling down in an idyllic life somewhere like Rome or Paris or Prague.
This is the image I have of you. Many more things come to mind but I did not want to turn a comment into a blog post. Some of these are obvious some not. This post seemed like a good opportunity to list them.

Sanjay:
1. You are so right (in this case anyway). I also love quotation marks (and direct speech).
2. I am freaking out about the fact that the post before this only got 2 comments. Am tearing out my hair in frustration.
3. Indeed. LOL!
4. True. I believe in acknowledging the other person and then telling him how wrong his views are.
5. Dude! Do I know you? Those are exactly the 3 cities I'd pick! Though you might/could substitute Barcelona for Prague.
Sanjay, you had me at Hello (Or in this case at Comment #17)
