Not My Cup Of Tea

-

I am back! Missed me? I am sure you did.

So, I failed my A-Z Challenge. 

All the while, I have been racking my brains, trying to blame something, anything, on my failure to reach the end. A part of me wanted to blame my job, but I know that's not the case. I did have time to finish 3 Korean Dramas and watch Johnny Depp and Amber Heard proceedings, so that can't be it.  

Then I thought maybe because I am going absolutely bonkers being stuck to bed due to a fractured foot. Part of it is true. I struggle to keep myself upbeat and happy, which would have come naturally to me in normal circumstances. I am usually a happy-go-lucky person. So, I think I should blame my failure on that. But then I also know it's not the first time I abandoned something: fashion designing,  music lessons, professional scriptwriting, etc.

So, why did I just stop????

The only thing I can blame it on is I, Me and Myself. Have you ever had that uncontrollable urge to do something that would just break the course/monotony/ predictability (I can't think of a better word) of what you are currently doing? You just decide to abandon the activity and try to shift your attention to something else. In the process, purposely screwing a good thing that you were already a part of. I guess that's it. That's what went wrong. I just got bored, and I had to stop and look elsewhere, something more engaging. What could be more interesting than Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's court proceedings, right?

I keep fluctuating when it comes to my interests, and it's not my cup of tea to stick to one thing for a very long time. I have this strong need to just move on to something different. 

My sisters, parents, and friends all have the same thing to say- if I start something, I should see it through to the end. This time I plan on doing exactly that. I do feel guilty about leaving this thing mid-way. I know April is over, and I know there are strong chances of me abandoning it again, but I plan to finish it. So, wish me luck. 


I am participating in Blogging from A-Z challenge 2022, and this is my post for N - Not My Cup Of Tea.

    I also believe that once started, the job should be seen through to the end. Good luck to you.

FUCK IT!!

Attention: Before you start reading it, I apologize to whosoever finds this word offensive. And if you have a great distaste for this word, I suggest you stop reading it right away because I have used it extensively in my post.  Yesterday, my friends were discussing what we could write on F in the ongoing A- Z blogging challenge. Some group members said something about F-word, and we all joked about it, and the topic ended.  I since childhood have been told, and that too pretty strictly, that we were not supposed to use expletives in the house or outside. Just the usage of stupid, idiot or donkey was enough to get us royally punished. But lately, I have found a great liking for the word FUCK.  Just say the word aloud, and you will realize how liberating the word is. I have given great thought to it. I personally don't find the word the least bit offensive. Most probably, it has a lot to do with the context. I never use the word as an offence or an abuse like Fuck you! Who the Fuck

WONDER AND LAUGH..:)

Questions that made me wonder and laugh..... 1. If the mountains are triangular in shape and the sadhus sit on the tip of the mountain to meditate....wouldn't that be weird and uncomfortable with the tip poking the sadhu in the wrong place. 2.  I always wonder if the people in the background of movie or show scenes are actually talking to one another or just mouthing random things… 3. Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard.... or hairy chest... Isn't he supposed to be a Jungle Man? 4. Stop and wonder?How many of us really did stopped and wondered?? 5. Who was the first person who actually milked the cow and decided to drink that weird looking white thing? Eeeeyyuuu 6. When Cinderella decided to run back to her place at the stroke of midnight...how come everything disappeared but those darn pair of shoes???? 7. How come goofy can stand and talk while Pluto remains on all fours...aren't both of them Dogs? 8.Can blind people see dreams?? 9.  How important do

My dear HUSBAND

Raising a husband can be an exhausting task. Nevertheless, Husbands are amazing creatures. They are generally great guys. I love when small house chores that they do, and like a child, they would come to you pretending to have moved a couple of mountains; that's absolutely adorable.   So, Janhit mein jaari (Issued in the public interest)10 things every husband should know that we know: 1. We know when you are looking at women. So when we ask you if you were, just say yes. "Oh, are you talking about the girl in the white top? No, I wasn't looking at her." this is not the reply we want to hear.  2. We know what you mean when you say, "You always look good, fat or thin." when we ask you if we look fat. Trust me, please lie. We have eyes; we know we look fat, we just don't want to hear it from you - directly or indirectly. 3. We know why you have a bored expression on your face when we cook in compared to when you have your mom's cooked food and act as i
