Alright enough of sarcasm, enough of cribbing, enough of DK Bose bashing and enough of anti-Sachin sentiments. Tomorrow is the last day of my month-long blogathlon (alternatively known as ‘torture’) and I already have a sentimental, oh-what-a-great-experience it was, sort of a post for that.
Anyway, today, for some reason, I feel like humming the song “Sunscreen”…
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth: (I am NOT as fat as I imagine)…
Don't worry about the future; or worry: (The real troubles in my life are imaginary)…
Do one thing everyday that scares you: (I am going to do my taxes today)…
Don't be reckless with other people's hearts, don't put up with people who are reckless with yours: (delete certain phone numbers)…
Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind: (I am going to start running the race backwards)…
Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults: (DK Bose can go take a hike)…
Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements: (bank statements are like love letters for my dad, so successfully offloaded them to him)…
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life: (I do know what I want to do with my life, the question is HOW?)…
Don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either: (Why not? I am a sucker for extremes)…
Enjoy your body, use it every way you can: (Mallika Sherawat, here I come)…
Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly: (NOW you tell me)…
Read the directions, even if you don't follow them: (If they wanted me to read them, they would write it better)…
Get to know your parents; you never know when they'll be gone for good: (You must be kidding me! Parents are forever)…
Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on: (All NINE friends of mine: love you guys)…
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft: (Lived in Kolkata and left before it made me soft; will leave Bombay before it makes me hard)…
Travel: (Yes)…
Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old: (Hope for double digit hikes even for an average performer, hope for the Lokpal Bill to mean something and hope for better anti-ageing creams)…
Don't expect anyone else to support you: (Not anymore)…
Don't mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85: (No more rebonding/straightening/smoothening)…
Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it: (Cancel appointment with expensive shrink)…
But trust me on the sunscreen: (I do, I use it everyday)…

Does this mean the post a day program is put on the shelf ???
I said it was a one month exercise, and the one month ends tomorrow... so I have successfully stuck by my resolve...
so after tomorrow, readers are free; no more daily torture; no more forced quality control; no more "what can I write today?"... i will only write when I have something to say
Out of curiosity, isnt it stuck to my resolution? Despite the love hate relationship with your daily posts I will miss them ....
to avoid confusion, let's make it adhered to my resolution...
N DO NOT FIND FAULTS WITH MY POSTS TILL U START POSTING EVERYDAY FROM WORK AVOIDING THE PRYING EYES OF UR BOSS.
I mostly have a hate relationship with your moto musings... so should you close that blog, I won't really miss it
Technically I just pointed out a mistake in your comment. Not your post. So I think youre making a massive mountain out of a tiny itsy bitsy molehill. Stop behaving like a girl!
When are you starting shimontistylestatments.blogspot.com ?
U R NOT ALLOWED TO FIND FAULT WITH ANYTHING ABOUT ME.
and m not starting shimontistylestatements.blogspot.com bcz i have a life
u spelt statement without an e btw...
What happened to your keyboard? Half the stuff you type is in caps.
P.S - I missed the e deliberately so you would feel happy that went one up on me. The things one does for the happiness of others, sigh !
"(Lived in Kolkata and left before it made me soft; will leave Bombay before it makes me hard)"
It's one of the best lines I've read in the recent past. :)
PS: You and Neil bicker like husband and wife. (Just saying. :P)
Hello Girl.. Just read ur entire blogathlon.. No mood to work :p
Some good and great articles...You have many more readers than the 2 losers (Man & Woman)
Just coz someone has been jumping too much on ur head.. i think a good end to this blogathlon would be for you to tag someone who thinks he writes well.. Lets c if his so called 3 readers also stay along in the loooooongggg posts for 30 days!!!!
@neil
