Sharonvw gave me an award. And here’s what it is called – What is expected is that I need to - 1) Choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in content or design. 2) Show the 7 winners names and links on your blog, and leave a comment informing them that they were prized with “Honest Scrap.” Well, there’s no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon. 3) List at least 10 honest things about yourself. Thank You so much, Sharon!

Monday: It’s night time. A session of lovemaking is in progress. On my side of the bed lies a copy of Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar. On his side of the bed, there is a copy of Robin Cook’s Outbreak. We are close to a fine conclusion, when I mentally work upon – “Hmmmm…will my child prefer Robin Cook over Plath?” . Can I see your jaw dropping here…just wait! Tuesday: We are returning home after dinner. Turn on the radio to find a beautiful track playing. I liked the song a lot when that particular movie released and over the period of time, try as hard as I could, I was not able to recall its first line. So when the song came on, not only did I not give it all my ears, but I also started wondering why did I forget to scout more the last time I thought of it. Then I start wondering about whether I should set it as my dialer tone? (Dialer tone is the music heard by anyone calling my mobile number). Then I think that since the song is about a mother searching for a son she has lost, people...

Elana gave me an award… see that pretty badge ..see see? The rules for this one are to admit my 5 addictions and then pass it on to 5 bloggers… #1 Chocolates – the darker the better. I can have chocolates at any time of the day. I do not like white chocolate unless the brand reads – Lindt! #2 Books – I enjoy reading a lot! My hobbies have changed a lot since the time I was a kid, but reading is the one hobby that has stuck on! #3 Desperate Housewives – Yeps, I can scuttle a plan of an outing, if the timing coincides with the show timing. I also tend to have the TV on when I am in the house, even if I am not actively watching it (in such cases, it is either music or news that plays). (Please do not judge me intellectually over this). #4 Keeping my nails short – I hate to have dirty nails and I can’t handle long nails either. Convent schooling has to be thanked for it! #5 Quirky Cleanliness – Any kind of smell on my hand, go wash! Dust, go wash! Had food, go wash! Also my study tabl...
