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!!
- 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!!
- 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!
- 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!!
- 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!!
- 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!!
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!!
- 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!!
- Does flirting count? :P
- 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!!
- 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”

ReplyDeleteAgree with everything BUT the earings (I don't wear one) and "eating food out of the container".
Agree on point #9
ReplyDeleteNothing like eating straight from the container :-)
Being lazy is my favorite too. And mindless wandering on the net. No need to say, these two are enough to finish me! :)
