Dieters know it and the gadget geeks know it!! And even those who spend hours on Facebook poking each other know it well!! In fact we all know it! Those few little things that we relish on; those little but special things, that it makes you feel “soooo good” at that moment, but shortly after that it brings that creepy feeling such that we try hiding under the table for just doing it!!

Yes, that what we call it as GUILT PLEASURES!!...

My tastes and likes are quite simple. Yet, there are small things I like to relish upon, those little things, that makes me happy and glee!! I dare to give you few of my only if you give yours!!

1. Cyber Stalking: From the time I am in twenties and something, this have toped my chart!! A true additive indulgent!! And social media sites have made it quite easy!! There is surely someone among your “friends” that you want to know more about. You want to see your collogue have any wilder side, or just want to check out your school mates wedding dress or want to know what your ex is doing with the new girl!! Facebook is great because it gives you peeks into people’s lifes and the BEST part is without them even knowing it!! After all, this is a part of human psychology!! Every single status update, photo shared and link posted you have made on your Facebook wall is actually attributed to this theory. Abraham Maslow; stated that humans have three basic needs, which are for love, affection and a sense of belonging. We might not realize it but that in sharing with our friends our activities and photographs, we are actually seeking for attention and belonging. We want people to notice us and of course, we feel better when they do and take time to comment on our posts. The best is that it’s OK to do so on Facebook because that’s what Facebook is meant for!!  
2. Pillow talks: I love it when my friends and my cousins are home for sleep over!! Catching up with the latest gossip about friends, families and FOES!! Talking whole night about long lost friends and the memories we share... Talking about the current hot dude next door and who is hooked up with whom and for who!! Rewinding, relaxing and reloading!! But getting up late the next day and reaching work super late with such a sleepy head is a terrible regret!
3. Snooze button: I always need that extra 9 min of sleep! I have this love- hate relationship between this buttons. The responsible side of you is telling, “Ok you KNOW, you HAVE to get out of bed”! But then there is that little voice, we hear whispering. Yeah, we all have our own little tricks we like to play with the alarm clock. By doing this, you trick yourself into believing that you will be winning over the clock; with respect to the extra few minutes you get to lie in bed just because you can. At this point one should undoubtedly be asking ones self, is this necessary? Naahh, but you will set that clock to trick yourself anyways!!
4. 3CàChaat, Chocolate and Coffee: Do I have to say anything more!! I know none of this is going to be a part of health food diet… But few extra calories for a mouth water junky like pani-puri and a desert of chocolate bar would serve as the best meal to me!! My mouth is watering already!! And for me the slogan is “A coffee a day, keeps the doctor away”. It’s so true!! If I don’t have coffee in the morning, I feel dizzy, sleepy and it turns out to be a bad day that I have to go home and take medicine!!
5. Being Lazy: The lyrics of Bruno Mars big guilty pleasure hit song "The Lazy Song", says it all:

Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything!!

6. Earrings: An ultimate indulgent for the girly side of me!!  I would never leave my house without a pair!! I have 6 piecing in my 2 ears. I have collection that any one person could not wear in a long year. Long earring, small earring, the dots, the chandelier earring, the hoops, the stud, just the plan rings, hook ups, dangling earrings, beaded one, stone one, shell one, feathered, glass earrings, pearls ones, gold and sliver ones!! I even carry the funny ones with just the kissing lips or even the shape of a heeled shoe!! I am a girl who buys earring first and then buy a dress matching to it!! I have so many earrings that some of them I haven’t wore it yet!! Few are just waiting for there perfect matching dress!! Some of them are just there, am I am sure I might not wear it also!! But it just I have to get it once I have my eyes on it!! With my own money the first thing I bought in USA was a forever 21 crystal earrings… and that night I am sure I had the good night sleep!!
7. Does flirting count?   :P
8. Steeling time from work for personal time: Run down the washroom just cause your friend have called... or just keep the thread on of sms on even at work or just ping someone on Google chat or Facebook chat cause your totally bored of the work that you are doing currently!! Or just hop on blogs and put few comments!! Update a Facebook status and find the perfect dinner recipe from the Manjulas recipe or Sanjeev Kapoors web page!!
9. Eating food straight out of the container: Especially Ice-cream!! I just have to scoop the spoon inside the 1 lit box and eat it!! Mom made special recipe like the spicy veggie, I have no patience of waiting till it reaches my plate!! I just have dip my figure in the pan and enjoy it by licking it just like an infant!! But trust me the food taste more delicious!

Well these are my guilt pleasure!! Yes it is pretty bad but I like it. What can I say?

After all they say, “The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time”

Its Summer- Time…

It's summer-time and life is easy and good,

The sun is shining and everyone is in a great mood!

The school is out;

No more Homework and no more class,

Now it’s time to run in lush green grass!!

The sun is shining bright,

Below the sun I seek for cool shade.

And find my tall glass of ice filled lemonade!!

The temperature is climbing,

Warm air, cool breeze and I have a daydream,

Of coke and ice-cream!!

Summer is here,

It’s time to head for the sea surprise,

Sand-castle, Salty lips, bikinis and tanned guys!!

From early morning till late evening,

I smell some roasted treat,

As there is a barbecue on every street!!

 

It’s time for pictures and memories,

Sunglasses flip-flops and short dresses,

Wear less and be careless!!

Everybody is having fun,

Cause its summer time and life is easy and good,

The sun is shining and everyone is in a great mood!!

It rained today... 
And I missed U!!
I went for shopping today... 
And I missed U!!!..
I traveled in the train today... 
And I missed U!!
The pouring rains... The busy streets... Wada pav and THE LOCAL TRAINS!!
Diverse, energetic, trendy and traditional... 
Amchi Mumbai... I Miss u...

The Big Apple - New York...!!


New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do

These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you

New York...!!

In my last poem all comment that they wanted to see a happy post soon… Well, I am not sure when that happy post will be published!! But this post wills enlist 10 things that really do make me happy!!

In my life, I always knew what I don’t want… what I hate… what makes me sad… But never knew what really makes me happy!! As I started to write this post so many things came in my mind… it actually enlighten me that gosh, I like so many things from which I just have to choose only 10!!

This post is dedicated to SEPO who really made me think what brings happiness in my life!!!! 

Chocolate: There are many chocolates in market but I love the Indian brunette bar the most… Cadbury dairy milk or Cadbury Silk (the current savor)!! And do you know where CADBURY Company is located…?? Just 2 miles away from the place I stay! It’s my dream job to work at that place in Quality Control where I am officially allowed eat as many Chocó bar as I want!!

2.       

   Sunset near the beach:  A walk along the marine lines gazing at the departing sun and listening to the splashing sea waves on the wall… swinging in and out… walking by the chaupati, where you can feel the cool water on your feet, and the rushing sand under the toes…

 3. Local trains: Yes!! Being Mumbaikar they do make me really happy!! Of course not those crowded one in the morning where if one fails to put a deodorant in morning, it will so happen that you when you are out of the train you have the adorable fragrance of the one clinging next to you! I love special the early morning travel, that too downside, where you’re travelling from Thane to Dombivili to Karjat & Kasara! I just love hanging around the poles of the trains… feeling the gushing wind on face… when the cool breeze plays with your open hair…

    . Balloons: Bigger the better!! I guess I love this write from the time I was born!! My mom always tells me the story that, when I was kid I required a new balloon everyday and never demanded any other toy!! So, she had engaged a balloon seller to deliver a balloon every morning!  Now days, when I see those kids playing with balloons, I find it very adorable but at the same time I am so so jealous of them!!

.  Laughing: When my family sits together, and we laugh on most minor and trivial issues till we get rolling on the   floor!

  A big Bear hug from my love: Feels like I am the most protected person on this earth…! It’s a speechless experience where 26 alphabets and millions of word combination become so trifling to explain…

.  The family fight: No, no!! Not the real one! It’s what we called as love wrestling!! It’s our family game!!We fight like small kids, but we have fun as if we are best pals!!  We have battle with most hits and most kissed! Normally the match is between me and my dad where mom is a referee! Its total fun for which I, infact we 3, wait eagerly every time!

   Lost weight: I guess it’s on every gals’ happiness list!! I know even the size zero Kareena must have it on her list!! Anyway for me, let the weight lost be even 100gram I know that day I would be the happiest person on the earth!! Then I celebrate it by indulging in chocolates and end up with the 200 grams greater weight that before!! 

  Pani-Puri: Muumuu! Dont have words for that! My mouth has already started watering…  Bye… I am out to have those!!

  

   Till the time you keep commenting! Cause each new comment I receive I do get very happy to see those comments!! I am sure you will make me happy!!     

BEING IN TWENTIES - SOMETHING









It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start
realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and
may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year
or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.











You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that
you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have
ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most
important ones. What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too,
and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused
as you.








You look at your job... and it is not even close to what you thought you would
be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going
to have to start at the bottom and that scares you.












You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and
scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to
the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and
further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move
forward.












You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage
to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough
that you want to get to know better. Or
maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why
you're doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person. One night
stands and random hook ups start to look cheap. Getting wasted and acting like
an idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through the same emotions and
questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics
because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about loans, money, the
future and making a life for yourself... and while winning the race would be
great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!












What you may not realize is that every one reading this relates to it. We are
in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure
this whole thing out.



This is called as "Quarter-life
Crisis."







:-)







PS: I got this post as one of the forward mail from my friend, Bhavna and just could relate myself to it completely... 

Broken Dreams...

Voices in my head, screaming out my name.
Telling me the future, telling me of pain.
Filling me with hopelessness, filling me with shame.
I do not want to listen, I cannot take the blame.

Voices in my head, pleading with my mind.
Telling me of suffering, whispering of death.
Filling me with sadness, the emptiness I find.
I wish that I could help them, with each and every breath.

Voices in my head, dripping with disease.
Telling me their problems, asking for release.
Filling me with restlessness, I only want to please.
I cannot take your burdens, I cannot give you ease.

Voices in my head, why do you speak to me?
Telling me your sorrows, and all your broken dreams?
Filling me with heaviness, that drags me to my knees.
Tears stream down my face, as I listen to your screams.

UR comments r welcomed.. But I am not sure  if I could reply back..
