I started this with aplomb, and am determined to finish it, as my writer's block continues its psychotherapy (I continue to call myself a writer :))
Here are my next five exercizes that i will attend to in one breath:
Day 06 – Favorite super hero and why?:
Does Alladin count? He did some really incredible stuff! No? OK, so if we are talking strictly superheroes, I would choose Mr. Incredible :) For those who live in the "real" world, Mr Incredible is an animated big-town man who is a superhero by birth, had incredulous strength and magnificent reflexes, who fell in love with and married "Elastagirl" and they had superhero babies, but he was bound to matrimony and domesticized to a home-at-six desk job, away from his thrilling life. He stayed, furtively, on the crime fighting scene despite his admonishing wife. :) You have to see him squeeze his burly frame into his tiny vestibule of a car and drive to work by day and sneak out at night to crime-fight-cheat his wife by night to love him. :) He's downright adorable. :)
Day 07 – A picture of someone/something that has had the biggest impact on me.
Happily, I do not have anyone like this. :) Everyone ive met and who has made an impact on me has done it in spoonfuls at a time, and impacts have waxed and waned enough to not qualify anybody for this blogpost, no matter how creative i choose to be. :)
Day 08 – Short term goals for this month and why?
Oh, that's easy! I want to plan my first lone-vacation :) And i'm taking one goal at a time, given my habit of piling my plate and running around with it. :)
Day 09 – Something I’m proud of in the past few days.
Oh, I am on my own in a new city, and I'm doing just fine so far. Adventurous enough, cautious enough. :)
Day 10 – Songs I listen to when Happy, Sad, Bored, Hyped, Mad
Happy song: Beach boys: Wouldn't it be nice
Sad song: I don't really listen to songs when i am sad. :p Cant answer this honestly.
Bored: The Radio.
Hyper: Jason Mraz (nowadays)
Mad: Again, I don't think i would listen to any song when i am mad, i might just put on music and distract myself with it.
That's five exercizes at one go! :) I'll be back soon, only five to go before I "graduate!" :)
Ciao!

A habit i wish i didn't have..
I have so many habits i wish i didn't have, it has been quite a task, picking and choosing, while writing this post. But one particular habit that has been annoying me with how pervasive it is in all my thoughts and emotions, is how i stop myself (and now the habit expresses itself as naturally as method) from indulging myself, making myself happy, in ways that are silly or not.
A friend has recently observed that i am quite complacent, and easy to placate, because i don't REALLY want anything, so can do with most things. I suppose that makes me a very accommodating and easy going girl, but i did not like the sound of that. And A lot of profound introspection revealed that I live in a guilt ridden world where pleasures are met with guilt. In my head, everything pleasure inducing is filtered out before it maybe translated to action. I have not yet figured out why (i guess my introspection was not so deep after-all), but i suppose it stems from my natural tendency to keep to myself. I am not expressive and outgoing about my preferences, like i am not forthcoming about myself to most people. I hate to think that my preference might come in the way of what another is thinking or devising. I have been pushing all my desires to the backseat, so far back that now when i turned to find them, i could not locate any that could validate the me that is today.
So here's to dropping a bad habit, getting to know myself, and living accordingly. :) :) and this time, i know i've got it right! :)

The meaning behind my blog name
When i began writing this blog, it was only for a couple of friends who insisted that i keep writing. We were all in transition: career, further studies, trans-continental shift, marriage! Life had set in, like everyone had said it would, and we weren't going to be around each other anymore. Suddenly everything we had to say to each other, and everyday we spent with each other had become very significant.
And on a parting note, several of my girls told me "keep writing, and keep sharing your writing with us". I had not written for months then, and i hadn't thought i could write again. But they were very effective :) And I created this blog.
I named it "around the world in 300 days" after a very life-altering year, that had morphed me into a new individual who had to determine her identity all over again. But the blog was originally named "inside a yellow rosebud", in cheesy and childish memory of a once-special time that i shared with my best friends forever, there was a once-special boy, and because of him, a yellow rosebud that figured somewhere in the story. :)
I've lived more years since than i've actually grown, but times like those remain a large part of what defines me and my choices. :) So there, that was my blog name, drawn from the purest portion of my life of joy and sharing and believing in forever.
