- I started writing, only to realize I was rambling, as usual. So I need to edit that post before I put it up.
- People surprise me every day. Not all of the surprises are good. A friend of mine saw a muslim guy, a student, walking towards us in college and promptly said, " I'm scared. Doesn't he look scary? What's with the beard and all? "
People, educated people, can be extremely illiterate in their views.
I could have strangled her. Is this how education helps? Is this what "jehad" is supposed to accomplish? - There's some words that I just love. They don't mean "great" things or anything. I just love the drama around them or the way they sound. Like "flummoxed" and "umbrage".
- Redefining deep sleep- you don't hear your cell phone beep.
- Another not so pleasant surprise was when in college, again, the people I was sitting with commented on why this particular girl was even wearing a "dupatta"- it wasn't covering what is was supposed to.
It made me sad. - FUBAR is an absolutely brill word I found out.
- I like black and white as much as I love color.
- I found my first white hair. And I've kept it safe. Proof of my wisdomousness.
- Making "blockquotes" or pullquotes as they are sometimes called and customizing them to suit your style is really easy. They look nice and people ALWAYS read them. Will put up a post regarding them soon.
- I think the look of ones blog is very important.
What would make me want to read your blog?
A first time visitor either reads ahead of doesn't based on very few basic things- name of the blog and the tag line, aesthetics and the title of the post. The length of the post comes a quick fourth.
Sure, for them purists, writing is all that matters. But if you really want people to read what you've written, you have to create an atmosphere that will encourage them to do so.
Me is done. Hope you guys are enjoying the day off. I certainly am, given the fact that my nasal passage has cleared and I've fought my way into being allowed to bathe. Too much detail, I know :D
Oh and by the by, the title has nothing to do with my love for bananas or lack of it. It's a song by Jack Johnson. One I'd recommend.
All my love!
Thanks for dropping by my blog and the kind comments.
Nice.
For me, "Redefining deep sleep- I don't hear my cell phone scream"
can't you see that it's just raining.. ain't no need to go outside. :)
verrry nice. it shocks me beyond words when even my closest friends, who're so smart and intelligent and reasonable, seem to be so illogically prejudiced. i might steal this idea for my own blog. you just feel ashamed and sad.
i like lots of words too, for no particular meaning. ha, that's a pun.
i ned to get me some pullquotes but wordpress doesn't allow it. damn.
