Thank you for the award! I don't know if i'm posting soon enough so here, answer to your first question.
ReplyDeleteDiksha means "Awesome awesome awesome! Sometimes prone to incredible wierdness but almost scarily lovable! Funniest person alive."
Well, at least Urban Dictionary thinks so! ;):D
Hahahaha!! That's a nice one! :P
DeleteFirst of all congratulations... U deserve many more such awards. :)
ReplyDeleteand thanks a lot for nominating me for it... now the dilemma is how to find 11 people...u already know that m a real bad reader so the task seems to be tough... :)
Thank you so much! :)
DeleteHaha.. I know how that feels! :P
After reading your third point about Batman, my mind went into hibernation, i was reading your post but my mind was like, "WTF dude, how can you miss so much awesomeness (Although for me first and second part were awesome, third one was just stupid)"
ReplyDeleteBtw, I haven't seen Harry potter too....:p
Any ways, Congrats for the award and thanx for the tag....cheers...:)
Haha!! But I did watch it last week, and it just blew my mind! :)
DeleteThanks! :)
Hi Ritvik,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all thanks for the Tag... These days i am facing writers block... Not sure what to write. When u want to write something beautiful you end up messing up inside your head... So this award is a nice and pleasant change Right now!
About Random things your wrote:
There is peace, and more efficiency during night. So If one can manage Working/studying during night hours is anytime better. I havent seen Batman movies except one – The Dark Night- And I loved Joker more than the Batman :P . though I am fond of some super heros –spiderman and some sci-fi movies like X-men series, Harry Potter Series, LOTR series, and even Krishhhhhh :P. Most of the times I can watch anything!! lol
In classroom- my mind used to be more absent than being present too :P
Quora... Ah! Made an account a month back- but hvn’t really checked it out!!! Almost similar views on all other things.. Nice random bits about you!!!
Again I would want to compliment Leo, Priya and Ayushi on their set of questions. Loved your answers. I agree Barter system will bring more harmoney and equality in the world!!! And btw I feel people have become more possesive about their mobile phones than their girlfriends or boyfriends... Changing Times huh!!! :D :P
P.S. Finding 11 person- I agree with Vineet- Its hell of a task to find THOSE 11 Precious People!!! (...and shesha wiped off the sweat drops from her forehead.)
DeleteHey!
DeleteI know how that feels. But trust me, award and tag posts are the best way to get out of those! :)
Wow.. first person who is somewhat similar to me. No batman! :P
Hahaha!! :)
Mobile phones... there are more like a vital organ to us these days! :P
I agree, that's the toughest part! :P
Thank you so much!! :D
