i intended to reply to you yesterday, but my server crashed then, it took 12 hrs to fix it. i loved your siggy, I was inspired by yours. I had those two images on my desktop used them in my 'presentation' (I remember my promise, that if I am ever inclined to make another, then I will make your request first) if i am not wrong it is from the rose day, is it not? i love that scene where mayank tells that he does not want to lose focus of his goals & want to be a success in life, one of the best scenes of mayankThat scene sums up Mayank for me in a nutshell (never understood that idiom, but wanted to use it to describe Mayank the ultimate 'nut' or 'nutcase' as Nupur once told Shilpa Aunty, "i knew from the first moment I met your son that he was a little 'makes nut-like expression' ") the same applies to us too, from the first time I 'met' Mayank, I knew he was different, Darcy category different. Don't make that face. I remember a certain young lady waxing lyrical about how when Mayank confesses his disappointment at 'losing' what he thought was a friend, she ran to the TV embracing it, saying' I'll be your friend, Mayank, forever!' OK, i may have added that forever, but you can make that face at her now. 😆 I will get you a mirror. 😛 So what qualities, intangible, relating to Mayank NOT Arjun, do you love the most, that appealed to you the most?
i can so identify with him, he really is one of the best characters i ever saw. Top three characters for both female and male, better PM me, (and Divya too) as this birthday thread becoming embarrassing, like that 'old' comfy jumper, ridden with holes that you just can't or won't throw away! i would definitely like to see the korean MN, they must be delightful considering you seem so taken with them, do pm me the web address & fear not, you are not offending me, my korean is pathetic not bad😆Teju, I never doubted your abilities. Mine is terrible. I can't say basic things like, what is your name or take me to the airport, but I can say things like I love you so deeply I am beside myself, actually the same is true for all the dramas I watch from around the world, including hindi. My family make fun of me because when I speak in hindi it is 'drama style' very formal and over the top. I don't actually want to change, language used be used to its full potential. I hate this lessening of language down to mono syllable words! your cats name is sky😍 i had a friend whom we used to call sky, he never used to pay attention in class & always looked out the window towards the sky🤣🤣 Teju, I love it! That is so cute. i dont want a VW, all my friends whenever i ask them one thing they always wanted, they say it is VW or BMW. i always wanted to go on a road trip😃That is inspiration indeed. The journey traveled can not be fully appreciated or 'enjoyed' or harvested' if you are speeding by at 100kmph. We must sway with the wind, become drenched in the storm and be guided by the light of the night sky.
this is so not fair, you met your mayank, divya is already married to her mayank, i am the one who is stuck with no mayank😔. i am happy for you sabah, you will have a happy & long life ahead, i know it🤗🤗Teju, your Mayank is waiting too. People waste so much time worrying whether they will find their Mayank, or how, that they lose by not preparing for that moment. How does one prepare? By bettering yourself, becoming his Nupur, so that when he arrives, you will firstly recognize him and secondly enchant him! Look after yourself, Teju and leave the groundwork to destiny, it is easier upon your feet and head!
no i did not try the recipe, my cooking is known to burn down kitchens, i am not kidding, i once lit the curtains on fire, luckily no one was hurt.Seriously? try this recipe, no cooking only mixing then place overnight in refrigerator. They are scrumptious. i do not enter the kitchen as a safety precaution. this is why i need a mayank, he can cook!😍 and he is smart enough to figure out how a fire extinguisher works🤣🤣So you are saying you need Mayank for safety precautions? 🤔 What about the safety of your heart?
coming to your question, i think all these love stories do raise our expectations or our standards about the kind of love story we would want for ourself. i guess when we meet the one, we would know, then it will not matter if he is not darcy or mayank or daoming si, because we would know he is the one.Very true, sometimes TV lowers standards. Look at the 'propaganda' films have done for 'playboys' and nakhrewali. People in search of high maintenance and suspense of 'drama'. However, for those who do not 'know' any better, tv and films open up new avenues of inspiration. Look at what Mayank has done for mummy's boys. However about 'knowing' when he turns up, that is the part where many fail, why many miss their mayanks, for destiny is kind and grants many of our wishes, it is us who fail to prepare, or recognize and then fall into despair, pointing fingers at destiny when we really should be kicking ourselves. Teju trust me, run towards your success by preparing for it now. Anticipate it around every corner for when it comes, you will want to delay the anticipation longer. Trust me upon this, you will only understand once you have experienced it!
i am feeling philosophic now great question btw, it got me thinking for awhile.
me off for now, take care, did you make the siggy, its beautiful⭐️You can't teach old dog new and magical tricks. I requested at avatar shop and Kajol made it for me from the pics I sent her and words.
love you loadsLove you too. We will have to find another thread to talk now. Where do you want to meet next time?
teju😃By the way, she didn't respond further and it has been weeks, so I am inferring that we are NOT that close. I am relieved to know that I am her friend and not a 'closer' enemy.😃 I thought you would want to know too. 😛
so i am back😃. now we even have a new thread to talk on. in a nutshell means to describe something concisely. i even named the cc after it, since you seem so taken with it.😆😆 i agree it is funny though, another one like this is, at point blank, i never understood why they call it point blank.
so you read that post😆 i was in a major mayank fan girl mood that day, i wish i could say i am embarassed but i am not, i am shameless really😆, i did that a lot of times, whenever mayank pulls that puppy-dog face, i hug the screen. i think i need therapy
qualities i like in mayank
he is smart, sensible, responsible, grounded & marches to his own rhythm & he has a real cool swagger
errr scratch that, mayank NOT arjun, i forgot. he has a sarcastic sense of humour, my favorite kind.
i love the fact that fact that the only people who can get to him are his mom & nupur.
i love the complexity of his character, he is shown to be cold, aloof, distant, practical etc. but his emotions run more deep than anyone else. he is fiercely protective, possessive & loyal about his loved ones.
i love coz he has flaws *muaaaah* his gigantic ego, insolence, self-righteousness, him being rigid, a huge control freak, volatile temper, it makes him so much more fun.
you know, mayank is self-destructive in a way, he is so capable of pushing everyone away & building a cocoon around himself.
i like the fact that he is not perfect & is capable of doing crazy things like burning nupur's mayapari for example.
that is all for now, i will edit some more later.
you asked for my three all time fav characters:
male first:
mayank\darcy -obviously
albus dumbledore- i read the whole HP series for him, all 7 parts. him & snape were two characters who caught my attention, i always thought snape will turn into anti-hero who will save the day & it happened, but dumbledore caught me by surprise. he is mysterious yet simple, dark but noble, human yet hero all the same. he has so many layers, one of the best i read in recent times
howard roark: i am not a big fan of fountainhead really, i thought the book lost its plot mid-way and became too philosophical preaching things, but roark made his mark
female:
nupur\elizabeth-obviously
temperance brennan: from bones, she is a single piece quite literally. i never saw any character who is as weird & adorable at the same time. i especially love how she gets clueless about human behaviour.
shilpa sharma- list is incomplete without her.
these are mine , i wish you will give yours soon😃
