The One With The Reunion

May 27, 2021May 27, 2021by Pooja G69 Comments

If you’re a fan of friends you know that the reunion special just aired a couple of hours ago. I am super excited to watch it but I’m also kind of nervous because apparently it has gotten pretty bad reviews. Apparently, it was quite unsatisfying.

I’m a huge fan of friends so I’ll be pretty pissed/disappointed if it’s not at least good. I’ll let you know my thoughts once I’m done watching it. I wanted to watch it with my sister so we decided to watch it together tonight with lots of snacks of course- I bought some Twizzlers to eat but I tried one and found it gross so maybe just chips or popcorn lol. It was my first time trying Twizzlers and I was kind of disappointed because they smelt so good and then I ate them and they were kind of super blend and not sweet enough. Maybe it’s just me lol…

Anyway, back to friends- let me know in the comments whether you’ve seen it or not and if you have please let me know what you thought about it!

Awards

The Real Neat Blogger Award

May 28, 2020by Pooja G38 Comments

I want to thank AR Mohsin Sheikh for nominating me for this award! He has a really interesting blog about architecture that is quite fascinating. Check out his blog by clicking here.

Here are the rules:

Display the blog award logo on your blog.
Thank the blogger(s) who nominated you
Do not forget to link to their blogging website.
Answer all the questions they have given you.
Nominate 7 to 10 bloggers of your choice.
Ask them 7 questions.

Questions

1. Name any 3-5 lines or dialogues from books/movies that you found fascinating

“I am . . . resolved to act in that manner, which will, in my own opinion, constitute my happiness, without reference to you, or to any person so wholly unconnected with me.”- Elizabeth Bennett in Pride and Prejudice.

2. What type of movies do you watch? any specific director or actor preferences?

I LOVE Harrison Ford movies- like literally all of them. I’m also a very big Benedict Cumberbatch and Colin Firth fan so I’ve seen most of their movies too.

3. What is your take about Politics?

I think it’s just so messy- as a history student I’ve realised that you will never know what’s going on behind the scenes till years later and even that is if they haven’t done a good job getting rid of the evidence.

4. Name three Habits you want to share with us.

I’ve gotten into the habit of meditating everyday which is great.
I have been trying to get into the habit of sleeping and waking up on time.
I have a bad habit of fidgeting but I think that’s because of my anxiety.

5. Which will be your go-to place for dinner, once this lockdown ends?

Rise Above restaurant or Royal Dosa Hut.

6. Describe your favorite Book.

It’s Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I would describe it as not your average love story because it’s not about two people who meet each other and instantly fall in love and are perfect in every way. It’s about two people with flaws who learn to love one another and work on their flaws together and grow to become a beautiful couple.

7. When you joined the WordPress community, what were your thoughts? Did you have any expectations?

Lol I had no expectations and thoughts except major anxiety. I didn’t think I would get even one follower let alone thousands. This blog was just supposed to be a place I could whine about dumb stuff.

8. Was there any specific reason why you chose blogging? (Apart from being passionate about writing)

I needed an outlet for my feelings and thoughts and that’s why I started blogging.
