THE BIG FAT POST

Behold ye loyal stalkers, I have news!

1. The post on "dadu" (http://samrandomrants.blogspot.in/2012/05/dadu.html) got featured! And I know for some of you it might seem like such a- normal-everyday-thing but I am totally on cloud nine thousand. :P

Anyway, check out the organization who were so kind as to feature my post. Aamoksh One Eighty looks like such an amazing retirement home based on the foothills of the ever beautiful Kodaikanal, catering to the needs of the elderly and retired people. The site even has a picture of the cutest grandpas playing a game of soccer on the beach. Now that is one retirement home I'd love to go visit.

Anyway, here's the post http://www.aamoksh.com/featurred-post-dadu/

7 random facts:

Hello there!

I'm back from Kolkata from yet another week of 16 hrs of classes. Get that? 16! Poof! This is how my awesome 2012 is going to be!

So, well...what else. I have been thinking, as is customary let me list out my resolutions for this year.

1. I will not cut my hair ever again.
2. I will run more and ride on the scooty less.
3. I will try to play any sport everyday as much as I can.
4. I will keep my planner on the go and stop not updating.
5. I will stop caring about what others think and stop cramming up my head.
6. I will try to learn to play a new instrument and watch as many movies as I can.
7. I will work harder and not procrastinate much.
8. I will try to do something  creative everyday.

Let's leave it at that for all the basic resolutions.
It's weird how the christmassy feel hasn't left yet. I mean I still see red, green and white shaded things everywhere. It's like I'm still stuck in time! And I did NOTHING this Christmas so maybe it's because I've missed out. Don't you wish we had proper Christmasses? Like the red stockings filled up, the big Christmas tree staked up in the drawing room, opening presents, tearing through wrappers...sounds heavenly. And the way its getting colder here by the day, all I'm wearing is a jumper and a comfy track pant...or maybe a hoodie, and the bad part being that I kind of am wearing off the same clothes everyday :P

Are you people crazy about the ek mein aur ek tum movie...seems fun! I like watching easy going not much intense movies once in a while, ya know! And what else...geared for a new week which will start with me going off to school tomorrow with an ORGANIC test. How cruel is that?

Anyhow,
Meet up next time...peace out

A little tour of Ladakh for you

Dear Readers,

Hope you guys are still there even though its been eons back that I've posted here. 

Well, I was busy. Believe me or not! There was this phase test, school exams, annual day prac. 

And diwali was great. Made this huge rangoli! 

Then we have our annual day on friday which is exciting. So happy times ahead, mate!

Anyway, isn't masterchef superr awesomeee. God, it's so addicting.

Phaltu sab baat choro, Ladakh pics here baby. Check out!

The ever amazing jumping pics, this was @ a monastery in Leh, just beside our guest house.
My personal favorite monastery out there. Monasteries are so calm and peaceful and have this unsaid aura.

Changla pass, 17590 ft. We had to pass through this pass on the way to the pangong lake.
Juley is namaste in Tibetian. The snowy mountains so near felt like I was on top of the world.

The pangong lake. The 3 idiots lake. It's breathtaking. No wonder that last scene was the best :)
The lake was seeing hues of blue my eyes had never laid upon before. 

Pangong tso. Pardon me and my dad's eccentric photography. We go nuts :P

These white stupas are strewn all over ladakh. This was at some place near the Hemi's monastery.

Pangong tso. Through glasses yo!

That's 0.0000000001% of ladakh for you. For the rest, stay tuned.

Some time, same place, love always

SAM B

ps. there's plans of a joint blog with Antara :) hopefully.

Things.

New shirt I got. It's hell comfortable

Hi there,

So, I have been busy. Class 11 is busy. I have no idea how the days are flying by. Didn't I just get admitted to this class? :P Shit!

And well, there are tuitions and work to be done, homework to be done, study systematically and then listen to motivational crap from the parents. It's this whole cycle.

But hey, I'm not complaining if days like today turn up. Where I can laugh my ahem off. Where I can get drunk from the awesomeness of life. Where teasing people and chatting with people you love just make your day. Yes, I'm not complaining today. Today was a good day.

And finally some people are back in school and have started talking to me finally. :) And I did hit the tennis courts... I am a happy kid.
