This is the space where I unravel my thoughts after a long tiring day
This is the place where I am what I am....
As you readon you'll know a bit about me...
Sometimes serious(mostly not), 
Sometimes naughty (mostly always)
Always in love with books n life....
That's me :-)

Tag time again :)

Aparna & Vimal have tagged me on to...


What do you do when..


- You see a man (or woman) making a pass (trying to woo / flirt / impress) on a woman (or man) you like?
I would be Jealous with capital J.

- Some one you like, is not attracted to you?
I would leave no stone unturned & will not leave a trick untried. And am 140% confident that 'that someone' would soon be attracted towards me :-)

- You are attracted to some one, but both of you are in two different cities?
Been there, done that. The relationship didn’t survive.

- You are reading a book, and your best friend wants to borrow it and can’t wait for you to finish reading, ‘coz he/she has been looking for it for all their life?
What????

I don't understand this question :D

- You help plan his / her career, and then, they go on to achieve it, leaving you behind, alone.
I’ll wish him Good Luck and wish him/ her that the luck follows him even without me :-)

- As suggested by the creator of the tag I can add a question. So instead of a question everyone tagged here has to add this line at the end of their tag
Salman Khan is the best.

I tag Reema, Priya, Sakhi & Arvind. Do you know why you all have been tagged???


I'll tell you, why. All of you had questioned my choice for Salman Khan so here you go, say he is the best :D

With that tag done, I would like to thank Nova, Couch Papaya & Oxy for giving me the “Brilliant Weblog Premio 2008.″

Guys this means a lot to me :-) and I might be late in thanking but I value your opinion & this token of appreciation :-) (I know my lines suck but am bad at accepting awards). I guess everyone in my blog roll deserves this award for the fact that we all put in so much effort in here :-)

Also I would like to thank Abha for the "Blogging Friends Forever card". I too am blessed to have you as a friend.

As is the tradition this goes to Sakhi, Poonam, Reema, Nova, WIAN, Couch Papya, Bubbles, Ava, Nikhil, The Moron Ooops!! Oxy, Miss D, Samir, Varun, Vimal, Avionic, Grasshopper, Aparna, Bhargavi, & Priya.

Thanks for being there always :-)

Before keying off I would like to add that it is Dev Anand's 85th birthday today. I have always had a crush on him. What he looks in the B/W movies....sigh!!!! I still swoon over his songs.

As my mom was telling me once that Dev Anand was so handsome that girls used send him letters written with blood. The then government had banned him from wearing Black & white suit as he used to look drop dead handsome in it and created quite a stir amongst the female population and many had even tried committing suicide for him.

Dunno how true the story is but I still stop doing any kind of work that am doing when his song comes on screen. Me n my frenz even celebrated his birthday today at CCD :D.

Here is the link to two of my most favorite songs from his movies.

Teri toh..

Oxy strikes..

U did not understand that ques? Don't lie. I know why u said that. cuz U DON'T WANT TO LEND BOOKS. U selfish creature.

Ok, Without getting tagged I will say 'Salman is the Best'. Guess this is the only one territory where we agree. hai na?

And how did ya celebrate Dev's b'day.

The story ur mom told is true. And so is the other story that few girls once jumped from the terrace when he walked down in his signature black outfit with muffler around his neck.

I find him too sissy though.. Hehe.

Ok, outta those two songs, Abhi Na Jao Chhod Ke is awesome and the other song people keep as their Caller tune to shout to the world they carry a damn.. Now let me remember who has that song as caller tune.

Smita said...

I too love that song, in fact I love most of his songs...:)

As we say "Der aaye durust aaye" :D

Glad you liked the tag :) thanks.

Oxy said...

Coffe S/W... ye kaun sa dish hai? Is there a 'comma' or 'and' after coffee which I cannot see or is it really some new dish/drink.. Coffee S/W... sounds interesting..

Nahi yaad aya kiska phone tha.. all I can remember is that person is somewhat jerk...

worldthrumyeyes said...

Nothing much re we just had coffee, s/w and played dumb charades (his movies only)...basically an excuse to add calories ;)

Reema said...

Aparna has already tagged me to the same tag :) Thanks for the award. Though I've already got it, getting it once more still feels good. :)

Varun said...

Awww.. That's so sweet. My first ever blog award. Thanks a lot. It means a lot to me. I may get 10's or 100's of awards some day but you'll always be the first one.

Salman Khan is truly the best... :D

Khush!!!

vimmuuu said...

Hey, thanks for doing the tag.

You had a crush on Dev Anand???? do you still like him? Please say no, please say no, puhleeeeezz !!!

Btw, thanks for the award too. which one did I get ? The brilliant one or the friends forever one. I am fused, confused !

worldthrumyeyes said...

I have something for you in your mail :)

avdi said...

Jai Ho Dev Anand... the handsomest guy ever...ever...ever. I think he looked his best and acted his best in Guide. And in the movie he absolutely smashes your heart into pieces when he sings - Din Dhal jaye hai, raat na jaaye.

Mein Zindagi ka saath - is such a great song.. so philosopical too.

Try songs of Patiata too... Hain sab se madhur wo geet jinhe hum dard ke sur me gaate hain.

Had fun celebrating I hope.

I have already been conferred this award.. so I will add your name to it.

I dont think Salman is best.. alas for you. But you should not care..

Bedazzled said...

So finally you toed the line and completed the tag..
.. why salman khan .. otherwise you seem so normal;-)... and lady i am touched by the award..

My acceptance speech ..
i must thank..

My neighbour, neighbour's cat , my couch, lap top , the 4 people who visit my blog and last but not the least .. you (actually i am thanking you twice , cos u are counted in the 4 people who visit my blog;-))

I saw Guide and developed a
crush on Dev Anand...also used to have a crush on Rajesh Khanna ,
angry young man and vijay arora(yaadon ki baarat fame)

"Gataa rahe mera Dil ..." , " Hum main rahi pyar ke" , "coodi nahin mera.."
"khoya khoya chand" are my favs

Avionic Spanker said...

Am not much of a movie buff, but I think Dev Anand rocked in Guide. I think the leading pair was a sight for sore eyes.

Thank you for the award. When are you going to stop reminding me of the tag? All tags lapse if not completed in 7 days.

Poonam said...

Hey, Congratulations girl for so many awards! That is certainly a meteoric rise in the blogging world. One that is very well-deserved.

And thank you for bestowing me another Brilliant Weblog awards. I love reading your book reviews and personal reminisces.

When I was a kid, I also used to like Dev Anand's handsome looks. But that was them. I liked him best in Guide.

Smita said...

Hey Reema :)

So you are already tagged....hmmm but-but you have to add my question in your tag :)


Hey Varun :)

So sweet of you to say that :) and u are most welcome and trust me you deserve that award :)

Hey Nova :)

Hey Ava :)


Jai Ho indeed.

Guide, aha!!! My fav in that was "Tere mere sapne ab ek rang hai....tere dukh ab mere, merer sukh ab tere" wah! what lines....sigh!!!

Yup! we had a blast....basically it was an excuse to add on some calories ;-)

Never heard of that particular song, lemme search for it....

Nah Nah I don't care but then in my blog how can you say bad things for sallu ;)

Hey Bhargavi :)

That was such a sweet accpetance speech..
(Pssst does the Cat type your blog, heheheh asking jlt

I love all those songs too :)

Hey Avionic :)

Guide is an eternal romantic movie. I can still watch it anytime...Dev ANand rocked in Hum Dono, Bombay Ka Babu, Hare Rama Hare Krishna & the list goes on....

When am I gonna stop reminding you??? Have you not read my last tag properly??? I don't forget n forgive easily :D and it is on the tagger to decide the time limit :P so come on quickly finish the tag....


Hey Poonam :)

So sweet of you to say that and am still not sure whether I deserve all that or not :)

BTW have you noticed that how many ppl have said that they liked Dev Anand the most on Guide. That says something about the movie na???

Thanks dear :) glad to have found frenz like you :)

samir said...

Its great to be part of your friends list, and as we have discussed many times; we share the Dev Anand connection.
Wow that you actually celebrated his birthday.
Nice to see so many on this post liking Guide, love the movie and the songs. The Rosy character and Waheeda Rehman's performance was the highlight of the film.
We both could go on & on about DA
(and we have); really like both your songs.
@Avdi --- Love that Patita song.

couchpapaya said...

smita - thank u so much for the award!! i value ur friendship very highly too ....

i havnt see too many movies of DA :( not even guide ... i know ur jaw is dropping ... i saw taxi driver and a scene of DA figting is forever imprinted on my mind. and if u havnt seen it, let's just say it wasnt v. macho and so i didnt look up future movies of his. he did look good tho :D and the song 'dil se milake dil ..' is amazing! love those songs u've linked to too....

Sakhi said...

Awww.. thank you so much for the award.. sooooo nice of you!!

And I never liked Dev Anand a lot but his songs were awesome and the ones you have mentioned are too good and one of my favourites! :)

And nnnnnnnnnoooooooooo... I am not adding anything remotely related to Salmaan Khan in My tag..No way, No way!! :P :P

avdi said...
