I don’t know why, but I’m getting a lot of weird messages (don’t know from whom) on my phone lately.
Like, once I got this message:
“I didn’t know you speak so well… In fact I don’t speak that well either.”
So I replied with,” Who are you? I don’t know who you are.”
For which the reply was,” First tell me who you are, and then expect me to reply!”
I didn’t reply to that message, thinking that it was just one of my friends just bugging me with someone else’s phone.
But it didn’t end here. Once, I was messaging my friend during exams. So I asked her a question and was expecting a reply in a few seconds. Imagine my surprise when I got the reply, but from a different number! So I assumed that maybe her charge got over, and that’s why she is answering from her dad’s phone. (I didn’t know her dad’s number; I assumed this.). I replied to this number, and asked some other doubts that I had. And I was not getting a reply at all.
After an hour or so, my friend messaged me, from her number, asking a doubt. Now I really got confused, and asked her,” Why did u msg me from another num just now?”
For which she replied, (get this) “I didn’t reply from another number!”
Which was really freaky, because that message was still there on my phone from another number! I know the message has to be from her, coz she cleared my doubt in the reply!
Anyway after 2 days I got a call. This number was not in my contact list.
Me: Hello?
Him (have no clue who he was, but from the voice I reckon he was a guy): Yes ma’am. Did u message me?
Me: No I didn’t. I don’t even know who you are!!
Him: well, I got a message from you a few days back. I just checked it, coz I had gone out of station. So I was wondering who you are?
Me (realizing that it might be that number which I assumed was my friend’s dad’s): ummm... I think it was a mistake!
Him: oh ok, I thought maybe it was important, that’s why I called.
[I must’ve sent atleast 3 messages]
CLICK!
It didn’t end here either. I’ve gotten 6 to 7 messages from people I don’t know, and they claim that they don’t know me either. But the best was this: I got a call. I did not pick the phone, coz I didn’t hear it ring. On seeing the miss call, from a number I didn’t recognize, I sent a message to that number, asking why he called me. He messaged back, telling that he didn’t call me!
I know that messages can get lost on the way, and can reach up in other’s phones. But getting a call when the person didn’t call anyone is just too much. My service provider just sucks!

Lots of TV!
Hi, my name’s freeze and I’m a TV addict!! Hehe... I’ve been watching a lot of TV lately, and the reason is obviously coz I have holidays right now. Once the college starts, I can’t watch TV for hours together.
Before starting engineering, I almost watched 2 to 3 hours of TV per day. I would watch anything. And if nothing that I liked were on, I would just change the channels for half an hour until I saw something that I liked. Even when I had exams, I would be on the sofa with the remote in my hand, searching for something nice. Ok, but that was only during the 5 or 10 minute breaks that I took from studying. But it still was (and is) an integral part of my day.
So these are the some of the stuff that I’m watching these days. I don't watch any soaps in the Hindi channels, they are just way too boring for me.
Stuff I like:
A little bit of Australian open and cricket. I watched the doubles finals yesterday. It was really funny when Paes and Damm were doing chest pumps and seeing them, even the Bryans started doing it! There was lots of energy there on the court.
Roger Federer won today, by beating Marcos Baghdatis. I dunno if he'll ever lose. Some matches were close, but he always manages to get through. He's just awesome, man! I wonder where he gets his energy from...
Cricket, well… I’m just forced to watch it when others in my house want it. I don’t really like it. And Pathan got a hatrick. Yay for him!
The OC- this is my new obsession. I normally don’t watch soaps and dramas, but this show is pretty good. I just can’t believe that more than 300 episodes are already shown in the US. And star world is just showing 1 episode per week. It’ll be ages by the time we catch up (if we ever will).
Monk- I always liked thrillers and mysteries. Nothing can beat this. And the guy (don’t know his name) who plays Adrian Monk (the detective who solves the murders) is just awesome. He acts really well.
American Idol- This show is reality tv at its best. It’s got things that are very real, very funny, lots of sarcasm, and great judges.
There are lots more…
Stuff I don't like:
Charmed- I just find this really stupid, the 3 sisters having weird powers, and crap like that.
Buffy, the vampire slayer- another show I cannot stand! I see a pattern here; I don't like things with vampires, and people having powers, something that are not (and can't be) real.
I don't like Smallville (superman when he was a teen) either. But Tru Calling (it shows a girl where dead people talk to her telling her to save their lives. She goes back that day and does everything to save them) is kind of ok. Don’t like it a lot though.
And any show that is a poor copy of the original.

A book.
I've had nothing to do in the past two days, except listen to music, read and watch TV. I watched some really dumb movies on TV. I don't know why, but whenever I have exams only nice movies come on TV. And when I have all the time to watch movies, nothing good comes.
I read The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum. When the movie came, I just wanted to read the book and THEN watch the movie. So I plan on reading all the three parts before watching the movie. I always like to read a book and then watch the movie (Maybe this is another weird thing about me). The book is just superb, very captivating. Though there are some parts of it which are a little boring. There are some sentences which are in French. And its irritating, coz I don't know even a word in this language.
I didn't really expect his book to be this good actually, coz I didn't like the first book of his that I read. Many had told me that his books are wonderful. So I got Rhinemann exchange and read it. But it was SO boring! Even now, I have no idea as to what I read in the whole book! What a waste. Its possible that someone who read it would like it, but I didn't understand anything in it. Depends on a person's perception and his knowledge.
So now I got the next part of the book, The Bourne Supremacy. I still have to start reading it. It looks promising.

Farmhouse
I had gone to my friend's farmhouse. You would think that it would be boring, but it was not. It was a nice change just after the exams actually. We reached there around 9:30 am. My friend (lets call her M) showed all the animals there. A bunch of cows, 2 kittens, sheep, dogs, 2 puppies (which were cute), a cat, some parrots and some weird bird whose name I forgot. Then we were just exploring the place. There were a few rocks. We all climbed a few of them. I could not; coz there's something really wrong with my knee.
[During my exams, my knee just got swollen. And then, during the exam, I had to go to the hospital to figure out what’s wrong with it. Coz my leg was aching when I walked. So the doc told that its knee inflammation and gave me a few tablets. It’s still not ok though.]
So anyway, my friends (13 of us) climbed the rocks, while I was just sitting and cheering them up. It was still fun though. I wanted to climb one so badly, but I could barely walk, forget climbing a rock. After all that we had lunch. M’s parents were there already to ‘welcome’ us.
After lunch, M’s dad, who is incidentally an ex army man, showed us few of his guns. And then, he loaded them and told us to shoot at a target!! We were all totally excited. Coz we have never done that before, obviously. The target was around 10 feet far. We were to keep the target, and 2 parts of the gun (forget what its called) in the same line, and pull the trigger. The gun was pretty heavy actually. I did not expect it to be that heavy.
So the guys were just not allowing us girls to have a try. We argued a lot, and we finally got a chance. So I took the gun, took aim and shot. I was just an inch away from the target (which was a soft drink bottle, with Aishwarya’s face on it). M’s dad told that it was a good shot for the first time. Ha! And the guys were shooting all over the place. After that we girls got an equal chance to shoot. The whole shooting thing was amazing actually. First time experience. So people, don’t piss me off, I can shoot!!
After all the shooting, it was finally time to return home. We were there for around six hours. And it was just amazing. The shooting part was the best part of the day. (If I could do some rock climbing, I might have said that it was the best part.)

I'm on a roll! Tagged again!
This time I'm tagged by greensatya. I've to list the 5 weird things about me.
1. I am obsessed with books. If I start reading a book, I have to finish it that day itself. The maximum is 2 days, and that is only when I start the book in the evening or night. Until I finish that book I cannot do anything else. I'll read even when I'm eating. Till now, I've taken many days only for 2 books. 1st was Lord of the rings. I still have not finished it, coz the print is too small, and there are way too many pages. 2nd was a Robert Ludlum book called "the rhinemann exchange" it took 2 weeks to read that book. I found this book boring.
2. I love music. If I like some song, I'll listen to it over and over until I remember all the words. I normally like songs which I can sing along with.
3. I check my mails almost 5 times a day. It was really hard to stay away from the computer when I had my exams.
4. I am scared of dentists. The thought of someone giving me an injection in my mouth, and having a drill in my teeth horrifies me.
5. I hate dogs, and dogs hate me. I'm telling you, even if the dog does not bark at anyone, it'll bark at me. I don't mind cats but no dogs. You can also say that I'm a little scared of dogs. The reason behind this is a long story. Maybe I'll tell it someday.
This was really tough to write, coz it was tough to find something that was weird about me. It took an hour to write this. Phew!

I'm Back!
Exams got over yesterday! And I totally freaked out later. Well, I had to. My exams were kind of ok. Not too good, and not too bad. Lots of interesting things have happened in three weeks. And there is lots to write. Which I will do so in the days to come.
All these days, I've been sleeping for 6 hours maximum. Total studies. So after coming back home, I thought I'l watch a movie or something. But nothing good was there. Still, I was just watching tv till 11:30, then finally decided to sleep. I was happy that I didn't have to wake up early today. But guess what? I woke up at 6 again today! I'm just so used to getting up at 6, that even without an alarm I got up so early. Then I was wondering what to do, coz I don't have anything to do! Ah, such a nice feeling. So I was just lying in bed listening to songs.
I'm going to my friends farmhouse today, and will be back after 2 days. So see you then! This is so good... No studies for one whole month! I've so much to do. Read books, watch movies. And everything that I might have missed.
