What 2013 Taught Me





So I've been AWOL for a while. And while haven't been doing any actual blogging, I have definitely been talking about it...'tis one of the only impressive-sounding things in a  thoroughly-average, lazy bookworm's life. Makes people think you're into web-design and things when in fact, your Diploma in Engineering is worth exactly puddlenuts.  

Anyway, 2013 has been a fun ride and this is what I've learnt!

Trying to learn integration and differentiation in one night is bad idea. Might as well not bother studying at all.

A blog is probably one of the only things you can boast about, that won't embarrass you. Until someone actually reads it.

Don't begin watching The Big Bang Theory unless you intend to finish the series. And the bloopers, and the filming episodes and the Comic-Con panels. That said, everyone should watch it. Give up your Christmas break. You won't be sorry. This.


SpongeBob I can't wait!
Yep.Arms and all.

If you live in India and speak English you should join Teach India. People who actually want your advice about their English, free food during training at a fancy hotel, and a British Council certificate.
What more does a pernickety convent-school grammar-granny want?!

Using ghee when one runs out of butter to make chocolate is a bad idea. Unless you don't mind chocolate-flavoured mysore pak. Blech. And I still ate it.


Chocolate cake mountain.Who wouldn't?!
That's what I felt like. Till I remembered that I made it myself.

Don't ever step out of the house with friends thinking it's only till the shop downstairs to say bye. It never is. Always dress like people are watching you. That's how one ends up at the railway station in a brown nightdress and fishbone-flipflops with a deranged grin on one's face.
Also, Don't wear (unintentionally) torn-jeans thinking no one will notice. They do.

Google Keep is a bad idea. So is Google+. The first because you will probably end up losing all those hard-to-come-by smart-aleck replies you think of after arguments and the second because all your imaginary stalkers need only type in your name in Google to see your grinning face. That said, all hail Mother Google.
Seriously, do not use Google Keep. Not unless you want to end up like this:


No cat
Thus proved. Cats are always cute. Unlike human beings like yours truly.

YouTube is fun. A lot of fun.



Yes.



Stuff I'm looking forward to:

Buzzfeed India
IKR?!

Posting on a schedule is going to get difficult(*snort snort*)so I'm thinking of joining Twitter, The Twitteress anyone?!
140-character prospects! 

I've decided a twice-a-month schedule and thinking of joining IndiBlogger...I could use some peer-pressure.
And maybe a blog-makeover. The possibilities are endless!


Wake up in the morning feeling like P-Diddy!
Exactly.

And I hope you have a fantastic New Year!
