BEAUTY LIES WITHIN......

PART 1
one peep into my room and you would have hardly recognized it as a girl's room...tennis racquets, Reebok shoes,screw drivers,gadgets ,a full time on PC, shumacher pics all over the walls, and an endless collection of action movies…but that was an year back…it was only an year back I started noticing how different I was from the rest of them( I mean..girls…)I always knew I was different but I didn’t know this was going to isolate me as the only girl in class without a boy friend..though at first I never had a problem with it as time passed I too longed for that someone special..that's how it all began…

I started with painting my room pink(yuck!)..i hid the tennis racquets and filled them wit romantic books,I threw away the shorts and bought in new skirts n salwars…I stacked my CD collection with comedy,romantic comedy and the core mushy stuff and watched them day and night(I even tried crying…),collected tips from friends and turned my dressing room into a cosmetic centre….i grew nails,painted them,went out with my girl friends and all together it was a different experience..all was going well except for the part that my “purpose”(of having a bf) was not served….i waited and waited n waited…it was more than a year and nothing seemed to happen ..i even tried my hand at flirted(I really suck at it..)…but none came…and day by day I was tired of not being myself…I missed my tom boy self..i missed my old friends…you know they say the most unexpected things happen at the most unexpected time…and it couldn't’t be more true.

miscellanious(excuse the spelling!!!!)

when i start to type this i really dont know what am intending to type and hence the name...i startd this blog coz everyone around me had one to talk about..so just thought of trying out this newly found craze of the people..initially i never understood what was it that attracted so many people(busy as they are) to sit and type n type endless stuff n post things on net..i really didn't get their point..but then after reading through a few blogs i think i got the psychology working behind it-u get to write and say about yourself endlessly and i think i gives a mental satisfaction..in this busy world where we hardly have time to check who our next door neighbours are,where do we get time to talk to peole around..i might say i exponentially spend more time in front of my pc than with my family members...so basically cant blame people for having got addicted to this typing business..and moreover it gives a joy to find people reading ypur postings and commenting on them....hey you r famous-jus because you took time to site and type about the first topic that came to ur mind that day...

but again i think blogging really helps people get to read about other viewpoint on various subjects,many real life experiences that we are so short of time to talk and find out with other people..cooking recipes,solutions to problems(of all kinds)...the list goes endless....
i just hope all this typing wouldn't leade toa mute world in the future with only the keyboard making the typewriter sound..as i end this post i think i got the apt name to the post-blogomania!!!
