Me =>
I talk an awful lot about myself. All the time. I always have something to say, even at the oddest moments. Even when you aren’t supposed to speak, or technically when it is impossible to speak, i speak.
All the time.
high, sober, sad, happy, angry(oh then i speak a lot), shy, embarrassed, in agony, in pain, basically always!
Maybe that makes me a fun person. I was recently told by a friend that i quickly become one of the most interesting person in a group. To which i responded “What! TAKE THAT BACK..i am no namoona ” ![]()
In retrospect, it was a fantastic compliment!
I talk so much about myself, narcissism runs in my blood. Ashish, who without doubt is a bigger narcissist than I puts it in a nice way; he says whats wrong with narcissism? we behave this way because we are surrounded by narcissist, and humans imitate the behavior of others in their surroundings.
So next time you call me one, look in the mirror, i might as well be one because i hang out too much with you!
Howzzaat!
To the above statement, Rukmini would beg to differ. She thinks she isn’t one. Reality check for you Ruku you are one too!
I have sat through umpteen conversations which begin with “I have become so ugly”, ” My skin”, “My life”,”My dog” “My,My My…!”
I will be visiting Universities this month and my biggest concern is What will i say to the faculty, what will i talk to them about?
To that Anwesha responded “Itna toh bolti ho, wahan bhi wohi karna..badd badd”
It’s nice to talk, i guess. I have a lot of “This one time at…” stories. I can’t help it. I know a lot of interesting people.

I was one of the girls who had Double Ticks on the Report Card in the section ‘Talks too much in class’
From the above piece of information it wouldn’t be surprising if i told you that i had a bunch of chalk pieces around my desk, all thrown by teachers at me to get my attention in class.
Narcissism runs in my family i guess. My dad checks himself out in EVERY mirror that he passes by. One time i saw him checking himself out in the mirror while he was praying
.
He once told me that he can’t really control it. I now understand it fully, i take after my dad! ![]()
But for me it doesn’t stop there, i have this self portrait obsession also. But i can explain that. I feel i take really good pictures of myself. Others just make me look stupid. ![]()
I have this fantasy, that some fancy photographer will discover me in the streets and take beautiful pictures of me
. Not that i want to be on TIME magazine cover, like that afghan girl!
So anyway that was that. I also have this desire to be on a talk show like Oprah’s ![]()
But listen to this, not for my own achievements, i want to be there for my spouse’s achievements. I would often watch the NBA players wives on Oprah and they had the best stories to tell, and Oprah would always ask them, How has this changed your life, and they always gave the “It really hasn’t, the feeling hasn’t sunk in, i am the same person”. “Yeah right!” to that!
I want to do that too, lie on a talk show
talk in this low key voice, pretend to be introverted and shy of the media speculation
I have such weird dreams and fantasies. If any one of them comes true, i think i will be more embarrassed than excited.
Also another wild fantasy -> get discovered and act in a movie. I Once asked Bo, if it was possible to get noticed while in a university, and he let me down hard.He said “That NEVER happens, you want to do this, hire an agent and audition! “. Now that is soo much work, who wants to do that?, and then again it is just a wild fantasy, i have no ambitions of making a career out of it!
That was so much ranting (as always) about myself.
The YOU part =>
On a serious note-Why is everybody getting married this year? what is so special about this year?
My Guy friends are getting married. Rathi was nice enough to promise me that we will get married but not have babies till i get married. ![]()
But he later added i shouldn’t test him too much and that given the rate at which i am going, he should technically be bringing his teenagers to my wedding.
These couple of weeks have been nice. I have had a lot of fun. Met old friends. Felt loved, which is always such a nice feeling ![]()
I am always very thankful for my friends.
What else,
For the most special ppl in my life ->
Ashish,you rock man! I love you more than you know,i love your school, i love the place, and i love your attitude towards it.You are going to do great in life, i know it, i can feel it
Saunain, i don’t need to tell you guys what you mean to me. Our beauty, we don’t need to really say it, saying it makes it shallow somehow when it comes to you guys. i know that no matter where i am , i will tell you EVERYTHING that goes on in my life ALWAYS. it should serve as a good aid if i get Alzheimer’s
DD, DT and Palloma: you guys know it already.
Well that was that. Phew…load off my chest!
@Supreet: Thanks for reminding me that i own a blog and should update it sometimes! ![]()

Maybe this time you should comment
Ta!

I didn’t read the whole thing yet but OH MY GOD, SANIA ZEHRA ZAIDI!! Chatting with you is impossible because it is SO difficult to get a word across. Ask anyone. And talking about my dog, which is another being, doesn’t make me narcissistic, please. The only time I talk about myself with you is when I have something stupid to say. One sentence. GAWD. I take offence in what you said. Narcissistic and ME? Bleh.

Finally , after “shamelessly ” reading that review for umpteen times, I’ve sth new to read
I agree with Ashish, but partially, though ppl in our surrounding do influence us to behave narcissistically but it’s an urge from within that lets us talk about ourselves, after all how much can we keep things ,concerning us, to ourselves
. Also, the way ppl put things about themselves ,these days, is ntn less than “Nautanki”
After reading the whole thing i don’t think that it was my reminder that made you update it . It looked to me that u were itching to write sth and my reminder was a mere coincidence.
