OH MY GOD!!!!!!!

this thing is a mind reader!!!!!!!!!!1

You Are Boston

Both modern and old school, you never forget your roots.
Well educated and a little snobby, you demand the best.
And quite frankly, you think you are the best.

Famous people from the Boston area: Conan O'Brien, Ben Affleck, New Kids on the Block

what kind of writer should i be???

Atlast a star is born!! watchout bollywood...AND hollowood! here I come!!!!

You Should Be a Film Writer

You don't just create compelling stories, you see them as clearly as a movie in your mind.
You have a knack for details and dialogue. You can really make a character come to life.
Chances are, you enjoy creating all types of stories. The joy is in the storytelling.
And nothing would please you more than millions of people seeing your story on the big screen!

Excerpts from my life

I had the funniest conversation with my mother last night. I should tell you my mother gets cooler with every passing year.She was quite a disciplinerian as i was growing up. But now she is one character! Funny thing is she asks me for advice!! ME!! I think that’s quite insane. Anyways, I called her last night and she very coolly informed me she was quitting her job. One she had had for the past 24 years. That’s older than I am!! I wasn’t surprised cause she has been saying this for the past 4 years. She just doesn’t get around to doing it though. I guess she is afraid of boredom. But anyways, heres how our conversation went.

Ma: I am quitting my job. I don’t like it and I don’t want to do it anymore. Its too nerve- wracking and I think I have had enough.
Me: hmmmm
Ma: Yes I have made up my mind. I want some free time in my life. Don’t want so much
jhanjhat.
Me: Good
Ma: What do you think??
Me: If you don’t want to do it you shouldn’t do it.
Ma: That is exactly what your dad said. Exact same words infact. Have you been talking to him. Did you guys decide on what you were going to say to me??
Me: (Sigh) Ok mommy. I think its time I told you this. I don’t want you to take this the wrong way and I am only telling you this cause I love you. You are a smart intelligent woman and its time you started making your decisions on your own. Daddy and I are not going to be around forever you know! You have to decide what you want to do and do it! Even if we don’t agree!! As long as you think and believe its right.
Ma: So you are saying I should trust my instincts?
Me: Yes. Exactly
Ma: But what if I am wrong? What if I don’t know what’s good for me? What if I screw everything up? You have got to help me. I am not ready for this!!!
Me: SNEHA NAGESH SHANBHAG!!! I will not have you telling me you are not capable of being independent!! I did not stick with you and love you for 22 years to hear you say this!
Ma: (after a pause) You are right. I will be independent. I will live my life completely. You are right! Ofcourse you are right!!
Me: ya I know that.


(In the back ground) Dad: can I have some tea? I really need to get to work soon.

Ma: (yells) Go make your own tea!!! I am an independent woman from now on!!
Me: (to myself) What have I done! I have created a monster!!!


So if you thought I was a kook now you know why!!!
