Your Personality Type: Manager
Your flexibility, hard-working attitude, and organizational skills make you the Manager. Your ability to juggle tasks, follow through, and manage people is admirable, and your firm but responsive attitude gains you respect. You love trying out new ideas and methods to perform tasks, and you don't get discouraged if things don't work out as planned. You are relatively outgoing - you make sure that the people around you are happy, and do what you can to help when they're not. When people come to you with their problems, you reflect thoughtfully on the issue, and don't give up until you reach some kind of insight or creative solution. Like many people, you occasionally experience rocky emotions and disagreeable moods, but you can usually get back on track with minimal effort.

What did you think it was?...

Tagged by T ... part 2

So, the hot and happening Anamika has tagged me (just felt like calling her that!) … and here are my answers...

I can see few faces (three to be exact) scowling, because their Tags have as yet been unanswered… all I can say is “patience ladies!” :D

So, here we start the
filmy tag-o-war!

1- Which was the movie that you had waited for with anticipation and turned out to be an utter dud?

Quite a few… most recent being Luck By Chance…. Was going to the movies after a while, and had quite a few expectations… as for my comments on the movie, the less said the better!

2- Which was the one most ridiculously stupid movie you watched in a theatre and then thought that you might as well have thrown that money in a well for all it was worth?

Oh, quite a few… I do that all the time… Kyun Ho Gaya Na is the first I remember! Followed by Jaane tu (I paid for a friend’s ticket too, u see!), and quite a few back in college days!
3- If you had to be in a movie or a scene that you would want really really to be something that happened in real life, which would that movie or scene be and which character would you be?
Hmm… my first thought… Godzilla… would love to be like the monster destroying around entire cities… what fun!... glee :P

4- Write three songs that would tell me what you lovvvvvvvvvve to do in your spare time...
Hmm… ok… here it goes…

1. Main to raste se jaa raha tha… (eating icecream, bhel puri, anything to be apt!)
2. likhe to khat tujhe, who teri yaad main (writing)
3. gaata rahe mera dil…(singing)

and here is a bonus…. Musafir hun yaaron… (traveling!)

5- Name a movie you actually thought was better than the book or atleast did justice to the book...

The first part of Harry Potter…. Brilliantly put! And Namesake…. Really moving :)
6- You are on a desert island... you found the island genie who granted you on wish that he would bring one person to join you on your exile... You have told the genie who you want that to be... apparently the genie isn't all that magical... he went to get that person and you are waiting for the procrastinating genie to get back with that person... What song do you sing while you wait?

Wow… u really put in a lot of thought to this Tag, girl…. Hee hee

Anyways…. The song, one of my favorites, would be boondon se baatein from the movie Thakshak
7- One song on your IPOD/mobile that was a huge hit a few months/years ago and the radio stations used to play every hour and seem to have forgotten all about now that you tend to listen to often enough

In Dino… from the movie Life in a Metro… used to hear it a lot back then, and do so now too!

8- One song that reminds you of somebody or a group of people... Do inform why it causes you to reminisce...
Ohh, way too many…. Starting from chanda re (sapnay) to the latest being “Jaane Kyun” from Dostana dedicated to Shantala… it is the most apt song, to describe how we pulled each other through some personal rut recently…


Psst… she dedicated the song to me too :D

9- The one movie you saw most recently and which lived upto all your expectations if not more...

None… have you seen the recent spate of movies??!.... make you regret being alive!

10- The one song you have heard atleast twice today... either on the radio or the cell or on TV...

Massakalli… from Delhi 6, followed by Kaise Mujhe from Ghajini!.... its played forever on the FM!
Bonus Question: In view of today being Valentine's day... Well it was when I started thinking of this tag, type down song which is meant to be romantic, but the lyrics make you think otherwise (There are a lot of Govinda songs I know, but try to think of a song not many people would know or think of)

I think Valentines Day is a rather staid and boring concept… but just for you, the “funny love song” can be ruk ruk ruk, arey baba ruk, oh my darling give me a look….
(imagine Tabu in checkered slacks and dancing mickey mouse, singing this for Ajay Devgan… get the picture?!)
Also, "Hello" by Lionel Richie... it sounds more like one of Purnima's stalkers... hee hee

I have to Tag Shaneee, Mits, Gauri and Alice

Thats the way it is



I cried this weekend…

Watching the
Australian Open 2009 Men’s Final was a treat for every tennis lover, more so if you are a fan of Roger and Rafa. Not only was the five setter one of the best played in recent times by both of them, it also exhibited the reason the two of them are so truly loved the world over! The post match ceremony would be remembered for years – the day when Roger cried, when you got to see what true “competition” means, when Rod Laver, one of the all time greats gave away the trophy to NOT his favorite, but someone who could be added to the list some day, the day when a new order was taking over the world of Tennis!

The AMAZING crowd that Australian Open is known for and its support to Federer was best summed up by the Master of the Ceremony: “If Australia were to adopt an International Sports Star, it would be him!” What followed was a 15 minute standing ovation!

I can wax eloquent over the match and the post match ceremony, but simply put, if there is ONE thing which stuck me, about the two men, and which is exactly what separates them from the rest, is their approach to the game! Usually, in a sport, more than any other profession, competitors tend to take things personally. A loss is taken as a personal assault, notwithstanding the fact that the other person might have been better in the game! However, when you see the attitude of Roger and Rafa (Which I think he has happily picked from Roger himself) you realize how much they love the game! A good move of the opponent, a neat trick and each other’s success in advancing the game is always appreciated! Here, the personal victory doesn’t matter as much as improvement of the game does. At the end of the day, the aim is to give your best to the game that has given you everything else!

This is what I think is “Attitude” and what makes Roger one of the best, and Nadal the erstwhile successor! If only more people had this attitude, competition would be so much more FUN!

Till the next big slam!!

Ciao ;)
