Virgin Undone : First Meme

Meme as defined by designfederation consists of any unit of cultural information, such as a practice or idea, that gets transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another. This blog say that Memes function the same way genes and viruses do, propagating through communication networks and face-to-face contact between people.
And this meme is floating around on the net and I've decided to stain my blog with a 'popular' mass consumerist idea. Lets see whether this thing called Internet really works!

The rules:
1. Post the rules of the game at the beginning.

2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
3. At the end of the post, the player then tags five people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read the player’s blog.
4. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.

I'm a very lazy person (read procrastinator) and hence, my to do list sounds like this :

4. Found more about my Journalism application
5. Think!

1. Anything with Chicken!
2. Chocolate, especially Fruit n Nuts.
3. Sprouts...Too Healthy!

4. SAVE! I'm big on no waste.
5. Ya...other people...need to be given something too...

1. Unorganized mind, body and room.
2. Obssessed with nitpicking others' faults.
3. Never taking care of myself.
4. Thinking and Believing that books are much more important than people...sorry, some people. (I was in tears, when in The Day After Tomorrow, they burn all the books as fuel.)
5. Being very, very, very lazy! (Look at this blog!)

What are five places where you have lived?
Delhi, Delhi, Delhi, Delhi and Delhi!

What are five jobs you’ve had?
Never had a paying job before....guess have to rectify that. Soon.

Tag 5 other people
Here goes.. I dunno anyone who would willingly do a meme. Anyone interested in it, just do as the instructions say. Leave a comment if you do so.

WTF : IPL FINAL



Mood : Ecstatic *100
Listening to : Sensual Seduction-Snoop Dogg (BITE ME!)
Icon by me!

I just finished watching the DLF IPL final and not only was it electrifying but also mind numbing. My face was covered with my hands most of the time, so much so that I think it has turned red and heated. This could also be because of all the Watson-Morkel-Dhoni hotness going around! (But thats just another story!)



I never planned to watch IPL cause I never watched ICL. Now ICL is pretty much a washed out series/tournament with only Brian Lara to die for and Inzamam-ul-Haq, if you're the kind who likes runner outers. So, IPL was never going to be my cup of tea, like Harry Potter and look how that turned out! Television has been re-defined in some ways, I think..especially in the way now the L shape appears now and then...and how pretty people keep stretching across your screen. I first watched IPL on the day of the Delhi match and then was hooked a bit. Then slowly with the pressure of exams one often turned to something less threatening and nuetral. Henceforth, IPL.

Today's final was to DIE for. Royals and Super Kings played will the last breath and it was so thrilling and pant-wetting that I had to jot down what I will term MY BEST MOMENTS :


  1. Pre Opening Ceremony. OH MY GOD. Ramiz, Ravi, Sunil, Arun and Damien(has he seen Omen?) all in Kurtas looking swanky and as Damien Fleming said "the backstreet boys."..Not Quite!

  2. The Opening Ceremony. Part1. C'MON PPL. Amrita Arora? okay...Dia Mirza...What would happen if she had moved...!!! Sameera Reddy could move but she couldn't save the day. Salman Khan appeared for some moments but just to say that "Dus ka Dum." I think he needs dus kicks up his. The laser show was much better.

  3. The Opening Ceremony. Part2. The only thing that saved the whole thing was the acrobatics from Germany? Bending ability=100%=brain melts....
The Match Moments
  1. Ravi Shastri's line "The Umpire owns the line." WOW. Ump = God of field.

  2. Dhoni and Ntini before the 19th over. The LOOK was wonderful (ofcourse I didn't hear what they said so..), followed by Ntini hugging and pecking on Dhoni's face.

  3. Before the last ball of the last over, with equal scores, Warne, Dhoni and Tanveer all laugh..JITTERS!

  4. Sunil Gavaskar says... "Warne was sitting in front of the IPL trophy. He was eyeing it. He wants it..."

  5. At this point Aamir Khan asks Tendulkar, what will happen if scores equal. Tendulkar "Bowlout!"

  6. The Royals erupting on the field after their win. Wonderful. Followed by Dhoni and the boys in a huddle, consoling and appreciating each other. Team Spirit GO!

  7. Kamran Akmal, being interviewed by Shastri, says for Warne, "mashahallah"...dies LOL!

  8. Marsh accepted his award from a hotel room with the worse-hair-possible!

  9. Lastly, Warne accepted the IPL trophy and dedicated it to the people of Rajasthan..awww!
Enough for the Night! Ipl's next year now!
