Hey, I truly feel part of blogosphere today ! Wanna know why - I've been crowned Miss World tagged.
So let me plunge headlong and divulge 10 things that drain me emotionally. I had to think hard because I am such a thick skinned buffalo these days that things seldom bother me. For all you know, people like me might be listed as an 'emotional drainer' on some blogs (tee hee hee).
So here goes nothing (in no particular order) --
# Sitting idle. I do not know the meaning of the word "Relax". A holiday well-spent in my opinion is one thats choc-a- bloc with activity. An evening with no electricity and horrible rains outside (happens all the time in Bangalore) will see me truly downcast.
# I am slightly nervous to admit this, but off late phone calls from people make me jittery. If I feel I cannot talk, although I am not doing anything useful (and the person is someone who loves to talk), I simply won't pick up the call. I am certain that phones are for my convenience. Oh, I am also perfectly OK when people don't answer my calls. 'Phone-phobia' :-P
# Shopping - I'm not a hard-core shopaholic. I enjoy buying clothes when I really need them. Otherwise it simply makes me brain dead. One look at the queue in front of the trial rooms is enough to make me dizzy and run a mile from the mall.
# Meticulous planning is not my cup of tea. I am the impulsive kinds who loves to pick up a bag and leave impromptu. Its fun!
# Depriving kids of their childhood. I teach in a Govt. school and when I see those young girls married off at 13-14, taking care of siblings, keeping house etc.. It moves me to tears. What would those kids look back on and recall when they are 30 somethings?
# Lack of conversation. I am a chatterbox who loves to talk and I can make friends at the drop of a hat (usually). I always manage to find some common ground. Also I love people who are honest and laugh a lot. So when I run into people who are reticent and stay that way, I am puzzled yet I don't give up easily!
# Karan Johar/Yash Raj productions make me want to wail loudly .. especially if I happen to part with my hard-earned money and catch it in the multiplexes. Honestly, I wonder how the audience stomachs the rona-dhona and pyaar mohabbat dished out year after year. Its not even old wine in a new bottle. Its the same stale wine in the same stinking bottle.
# This one's a bit of a bother for everyone I know - The horrendous Bangalore traffic. Ensures that you always leave your house early and anxious only to return late frazzled , furious and demented !

Thanks for the tag Rohitha n more for calling me a blog-pal. I am here more for making friends than to show any might if so with the pen.
I agree with u more on 1,3 and 6. When some ppl say they will spend the entire weekend sleeping, I just can't believe my ears. I have to atleast go for a stroll by the lake.
So nice to know u teach @ a govt school. Such a noble thing to do. I hope this practice of child marriage/labour stops some day :(
Wow..u teach in a govt school. Hats off...!!!!!
I agree with u on the shopping. When people say they have 50-100 shoes my mind boggles, here I have just 4-5 of them;-P
Meticulu what...whts tht;-D??????
Enjoyed reading this!!!
Thanks for taking up the tag!!!!
Ha ha ha... Thanx for the TAG -"The incurable romantic" :-)
But you should realize how hard it is to come up with new love story time & again :-)
Wow I could totally relate to most of your points! I love that you're a teacher...they are my most fave people ever :D
I will definitely take up this tag!
Swaram - I'm more than ready to make a friend ;) Nice to know you're hyperactive too.
I'm a part-time teacher though someday I would love to teach full-time. I love being surrounded by kids. I also pray that we are back to a world where kids can be kids. I'm waiting to read your post.
Reflections - I had fun doing this tag !! :)
I'm actually a part-time teacher only :)thanks.
Ya shopping can be addictive I have observed. I enjoy window shopping but only when I'm in a new city.
Meticulous planning means detailed, accurate planning .. :D
Arpit - Oh ya I could never write stories like you :)
Shades of Grey - Thank you so much! :) Teaching is a satisfying job and so much fun. Waiting to read your tag post.

Phone-phobia? Especially if it's someone who loves to talk? But, YOU love to talk. What the hell, you better pick up the phone when I call!!
And, what happened to the days of buying k3g tix in black? :P
Inava - I'm waiting for the call! I'll pick up yours for sure.. that'll be a first anyway :P
That (k3g) taught me a lesson I won't forget easily.
