ick.

this is wrong in so many ways. sometimes i wonder if Jackky Bhagnani secretly curses the day certain people became aware of his existence. 

GAME RELEASING ON SAME DATE AS F.A.L.T.U!

NO NO NO NOOOOOOOO!

bad news.

it seems like F.A.L.T.U's bad luck streak isn't over yet!

just when we all (or most probably just me) thought everything would finally go smoothly for F.A.L.T.U, ANOTHER AWFUL PIECE OF NEWS HAS BEEN THROWN OUR WAY!

it's so awful that i'm FRIKKIN' CAPS LOCKING EVERYTHING AARRGGHH!

apparently, much-anticipated Bollywood movie Game has decided to shift its release date from March 18 to April 1st.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?

you can even see the March 2011 release date printed at the bottom of the poster.

this seems to be an elaborate strategy planned out by Eros International in order to sabotage F.A.L.T.U.

i mean, why else would they shift the release date and give out no reason for their actions? WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MARCH 18TH? it's such a lovely date! it's my uncle's birthday! I WOULD HAVE WATCHED GAME IF IT HAD STUCK TO ITS MARCH 18 RELEASE.

my reaction to all of this. (this is old, i was 14 here. i just needed a picture like this and i'm too lazy to take a new one.)

i'm a little crazily angry upset right now. of course, i'm pretty sure that the production team of Game had their own legitimate reasons for pushing back their release date and were most probably not intending on sabotaging F.A.L.T.U, but that doesn't really help in all the aspirations and hopes the F.A.L.T.U team have in terms of getting a good audience response and revenue on April 1st. grrr.

to make things slightly more annoying, some random movie called Teen Thay Bhai has a rumoured release date of April 1st. i know nothing of it except that it stars Shreyas Talpade and Om Puri, and that i will definitely not watch it.

for all of you who have no clue about Bollywood movie politics, here's something you might be able to comprehend:

these two Hollywood movies are releasing on April 1st, too.

while to the rest of the world this may seem like an excellent way to celebrate their April 1st, to me it looks like this:

I KNOW, RIGHT? since Jackky Bhagnani's first movie was a flop, most of the crowd will not choose to watch his movie first. since Game stars Abhishek Bachchan and Kangna Renaut, both reputed and super-popular actors, and the movie looks glamourous and thrilling, most of the people landing up in cinemas on 1st April will opt to watch it. and since Insidious is a horror movie and Hop is a kids' movie, parts of the modern crowd who like English movies will definitely spend their money on buying tickets for these two.

according to me, F.A.L.T.U will definitely be a success, but not on the first day. and since the first day is crucial, it'll be quite a disappointment for the F.A.L.T.U team since they won't be getting the response that they deserve.

being the loyal and #1 Jackky Bhagnani fan that i am, i will definitely shun Game, Insidious and Hop, and watch F.A.L.T.U on the day of its release. i'm hoping the rest of the world follows suit (lol. i can dream, right?).
which movie will you choose to watch on 1st April? it's okay, you can tell me. :P

Stuff from my old blog.

all i want to do right now is let out a feeble, embarrassed laugh.

i just checked my old blog on a whim earlier today, and read through all my posts. i was half amused and half appalled by what i saw. i had completely forgotten about most of the stuff i had posted there, and while some of it made me smile, most of it made me cringe like i've never cringed before.

even though i love to share stuff with you guys, i wouldn't want you to read all of my totally shameful posts on my old blog, so i made it private. =P i used to write like such a gullible loser and i would prefer if most of what i wrote on that blog remains a secret, haha.

i will, however, post some excerpts so that you guys can see what my blogging life used to be like before i left it two years ago (only to return with The Jackky Bhagnani Obsession).

click and drool. CLICK. AND. DROOL.

this was my blog banner. my amazing friend Richelle from UAE made it for me. i love her loads. plus, this was before all the Twilight-is-so-uncool-like-totally stuff took over the mindset of the young generation, so you're not allowed to judge!

the font on my blog used to be really tiny. like this.

here's the About Me (which i was REALLY reluctant to post here, because you know, UGH. it's so embarrassing.)

Heyyy. I’m The Hairball, and I’m a semi-professional stalker (okay, a loser) and a weirdo. LOL! I have awfully SHORT-SHORT hair that’s growing, and I absolutely adore Taylor Lautner and my pet cat ^^. I started blogging somewhere around late last year, and i’m absolutely hooked xD i love reading and watching movies that are either stupid and cheesy, or thrilling and freaky xD I live with my parents and my cat, and i go to a school that sucks, but i love it :) i'm more of an introvert, and pretty conservative. three quarter sleevies FTW! its a decent girl thing ♥ my favourite colours and orange, gray and lime green xD i do have a lot of friends, but a few really close ones. i can't live without socks! ROFL! Bollywood = LOVE. i only listen to bollywood movie songs, because they're awesome and different. i bite my nails, and when my hair used to be long, i used to chew on it too, HAHA. i could spend hours on the internet, and i'm the #1 Homework Neglector. i have the superpower of resisting all kinds of yummy foods, which is pretty rare in my family :P I want to be a cartoonist when i grow up ^^ drawing cartoons is something i enjoy doing, and my desk at school is covered with scribbles (: On TV i only watch B4U, Channel V (indian and international) and E!. Dr. 90210 and Sunset Tan are the awesomeness. thats it for nowww. :) bow down to my awesomeness xD

AAAAAAAAAAAAAH I AM SO ASHAMED LOL. I WANT TO GO BACK IN THE PAST AND SLAP MYSELF.

i have changed SO much in the past two years, for the better:

- i don't call myself The Hairball anymore. the novelty and cuteness kind of faded out after a while and i moved on to Furree Katt, which i love. Furree Katt has a memory and a long story attached to it, which makes it special and more personalized than The Hairball.
- i lied about being a semi-professional stalker just to sound cool. truth is, i was asked by my friends to stalk other people for them, and i got known for that skill. but there's no way that would classify as 'semi-professional'.
- orange is my only favourite colour, not the others mentioned.

- i don't use " (: ", " ^^ " and " xD " anymore.

- i prefer normal font size for my blog posts instead of extra small.

- i don't write like a wannabe-cool-overgrown-tween now.

- i no longer watch TV. one fine day, i just stopped. no more B4U, E! or Channel V. and i prefer English songs over Indian nowadays.

- i don't want anyone to bow down to my awesomeness. i cannot believe i wrote that on my blog. WHAT KIND OF A LOSER WAS I? O.O

- my hair is no longer short-short. AND YEAH I USED TO CHEW ON IT, you can laugh or be all "eww, gross" on me, you have every right to.

the blog content was a bit better than my About Me, though. since my previous blog was completely personal, the posts were just random things i felt like talking about at that time, or recent events.

i had posted about the books i was reading during that time.

and the movies i intended to watch:

which i did, so yay!

Bollywood celebrities were always something i was interested in since a very long time, and my previous blog reflects that interest as much as my current one does. 

i blogged about Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra's relationship which was new at that time. also the sadness that i went through when Kareena Kapoor broke up with Shahid. =P

left to right: then - Shahid and Kareena, now - Shahid and Priyanka.

i liked making pictures like this back in the day as well. i'm glad i didn't grow out of that!

x

are you guys glad that i don't [xx type like this(: ^^]? i'm glad i grew out of it. it looks cute sometimes but not ALL the time. and i'm glad i grew out of posting in tiny font as well. i just realized how difficult it must be for loads of people to read. O.O

and in my previous blog, i had just 7 followers. in The Jackky Bhagnani Obsession, i have 84. so yes, i'm pretty much convinced that people like the writing style i have adapted to this time.

so yeah, this was pretty much it. :D

big shout out to Maryam. i love you!

catch you guys later.

The F.A.L.T.U Post.

since 'faltu' means 'useless' in Urdu/Hindi, it is a fitting title for this post. 

i've been neglecting my #1 Jackky Fan-ness, so i thought i'd update you guys on stuff about F.A.L.T.U.

there's just this tiny problem.

THERE'S NOTHING TO SAY.

this is SO interesting! look how excited we are!

seriously, i've been hoping that something exciting happens in relation to Jackky Bhagnani and F.A.L.T.U, so that i can write a nice, long, fun-filled post about it.

alas, life in post-production is helluva bore.

Jackky Bhagnani has been tweeting away about stuff that i just don't find blog-worthy. he's mostly been replying to questions concerning F.A.L.T.U, and lame ones at that.

Jackky tweets information about F.A.L.T.U, and some losers ask questions without even bothering to read what he's said. if they did, then they wouldn't have to ask him in the first place.

since i'm bored and i have nothing to do, i'll give you examples of how appallingly silly certain questions are.

Jackky Bhagnani :

F.A.L.T.U IS RELEASING ON 1ST APRIL.

Ignorant Tweeter:

WEn IZ FaLtU REL3ASiN LOo0Lz?

Me:

*facepalm*

-

Jackky Bhagani:

THE DIRECTOR IS REMO D'SOUZA.

Ignorant Tweeter:

wh0x Da d!r3ctorR eh?

Me:

*banging head on the wall*

-

Jackky Bhagnani:

HAD FUN SHOOTING FOR MY FILM.

Ignorant Tweeter:

heYz jAckKy r u d0in anY muviez?

Me:

KILL ME NOW.

SOME PEOPLE ARE SO IGNORANT, IT'S PAINFUL.

why do they even follow Jackky Bhagnani on Twitter when they don't read his tweets? if they were actually interested in him, they would have read whatever he tweeted about and found out everything that they wanted to know, instead of asking such useless questions which, albeit giving them an answer, makes them look super dumb.

i have spent 15 minutes thinking of how to conclude this useless post.

i have not yet decided how to.

so i should just say bye.

bye.

bye.

bye!

OH MY GOD, YOU GUYS.

I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING.

THIS REALIZATION IS SHOCKING. 

I SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT COMING.

oh my god, too much caps lock freaks me out.

i should be posting about Jackky Bhagnani right now, but i just can't bring myself to do it.

I HAVE TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.

TOTS. TEDDY BEAR. THE BLONDE SENIOR.

ARE STUDENTS.

AND I AM A TEACHER.

regardless of the fact that i am the same age (or possibly younger) than them,

TEACHER-STUDENT RELATIONSHIPS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN ANY EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION.

there are rules preventing stuff like this from happening, especially in the school which i teach, due to some student-teacher incident that happened last year.

if anything like that happened with me and the guys i crush on, i could get fired, and they could get suspended/expelled.

this means i shouldn't crush on them at all. i am not allowed to.

OMG THIS IS SO UNFAIR, LIKE.

and BY THE WAY.

to add to the heartbreak, i found out something at school today.

THE BLONDE SENIOR IS IN GRADE...

GRADE.....

GRADE.....

TEN!

why doesn't someone just stab me with a sharpened pencil? i thought he was in grade 11 all this while. this means he's TWO FRIKKIN' GRADES YOUNGER THAN ME. WHICH IS JUST A REAL PUT-OFF.

but he's blonde and cute and tall and well built and-

AAAAAAAAAH SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP.

i'm not depressed about this. being depressed is for lewzers. but i AM disappointed, and my heart needs to like something badly, because if i'm not crushing on anyone, i'll feel really weird.

there was also this really awesome thing that happened with The Blonde Senior today, but to say it out will not help in repressing my feelings for him at all.

goodbye, boys. ;(

Life Update #9

GOOD DAY, CHILDREN.

with the way i've been adamant to post about Jackky Bhagnani, you'd have probably thought that i'd forgotten that you guys like it when i post more about myself.

so, being the considerate person that i am, i decided to update you guys on everything that has been going on since my last Life Update. yayness!

this is me since my last Life Update. lulz.

work has been okay so far after the winter vacations. sometimes it's tough and taxing and i'm always exhausted towards the end of the (school) day, but i suppose i'm fine with all of that shizz, because I LOVE KIDZ. yeah i added the Z so it could rhyme, because Furree Katt is awesome like that. OMG, another one. i'm on a roll.

i spent most of the weekend before last making flash cards for last week's English Language activity. it took loads of effort because i had to cut 8 different chart papers into rectangles, print out 10 different sentences, cut each word out and stick it on an individual chart-rectangle. it sound pretty easy here, but trust me, it's not. =P

here's what it looked like at the end.

the mess i made in the process.

i drew this a few days before the flash-card-making. i had given kids some blank paper to draw/colour on and i got bored, so i made something too.

i had to lay the cards out in front of the kids, and they had to use their tiny brains and place them in the correct order. everybody managed to do it, so this activity was a success. it made me feel really happy, i'm so proud that all my students are so hardworking and can understand things easily. even the weak ones got this, they identified the sentences with the colour-coding i had done.

the Science activity was nest-making, which i was pretty skeptical about when my coordinator informed me that it was what she had planned out for that week. there isn't any Science in KG, but i suppose everyone wanted a break from Math to try out something new. and that's okay, because i hate Math in every way, haha. anyway, i had to make a clay nest and make it look real by sticking pieces of jute rope to it, and make balls out of cotton to portray eggs, then ask my students to make the same with their own pieces of clay. the reason i was slightly reluctant to do it was that it would most probably be quite time-consuming and would ruin my clothes, but the kids enjoyed it.

there's also the school concert taking place in about a month's time. the Kindergartners will be doing different kinds of dances, and i've been assigned to choreograph the hip-hop...pers. that's what you call them right? O.O the songs i hear are so bloody explicit, it will definitely not do to have five year olds dancing to choruses that include insults to mothers. so yeah thank goodness the music part is being taken care of by another teacher, and i'll most probably teach the kids some Soulja Boy Crank Dat and carry on with my life. 

x

i was looking forward to seeing The Blonde Senior SO MUCH, but some evil holiday on Wednesday ruined it. Wednesday is the only day of the week when i see him, because he's playing basketball during the time when i'm free, but ugh. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE HOLIDAY WAS FOR. it's like kismet is preventing me from seeing him. O.O (and did i use 'kismet' correctly? i couldn't think of any other word to fit the situation LOL.)

i did see Teddy Bear, though. he came upstairs to the Primary Section on Tuesday to ask his mum something. she saw him and ran to the staff room to avoid him, but he followed her in there anyway. later i found out that he wanted money to buy something from the canteen. the way she widened her eyes and scampered away the second she saw him made me laugh loudly, but thankfully Teddy Bear didn't hear. or maybe he did, but he didn't know where the voice was coming from, because i was half-hidden in a classroom doorway. or maybe he thinks i'm as insignificant as the corridor wall or something.

plus, there's this other super cute senior guy in school, who is another teacher's son. hereby on my blog, i shall call him TOTS. its stands for The Other Teacher's Son. or just Tots, without everything being capital because otherwise it would just look weird.

about Tots. he's SO CUTE. he comes to the Primary Section usually to see his mum, just like Teddy Bear does. Tots's younger brother is my brother's good friend, so i know a bit about him already. i've been seeing him for the past year and i can't help but feel shy around him. meaning, i never had the courage to go up to him and talk, even though he probably knows who i am.

anyway, i did something really brave on Tuesday. you guys ought to be proud of me. I SPOKE TO TOTS! that's right, me, the jittery-nerved-coward-who-can't-talk-to-cute-guys. he went into him mum's classroom to ask her something, and i saw him go in. i waited till he came out, then i followed him towards the stairs and said, 'Hey!'

he glanced at me and continued walking.

now, in any other situation this would be a real put-off, but i was feeling pretty awesome that i had actually managed to say something to him at that moment. so, i kind of surprised myself by saying 'Hey, listen!'

he stopped on the first step of the stairway. he turned around to face me, and OMG HOTNESS OVERLOAD. if i were feeling my usual self that day, i would have swooned, but it was like i was a different person right there. a NORMAL person lol.

he looked at me, and this is what happened.

me: are you in grade 11?
him: yes.
me: do you take science or commerce?
him: science.
me: is it hard?
him: it's... okay. physics is hard.
me: oh okay. how old are you?
him: fif- sixteen.
(right there i felt a tiny twinge of disappointment in my heart. he was about to say 15, which most probably means that he recently turned 16 and isn't used to saying it that much. i'm going to turn 17 in March.)
me: i'm in grade 12. and i'm a commerce student.
him: oh.
me: okay bye!
him: *mumbling* *walking down the stairs*

and those were the contents of our little exchange. it was pretty apparent that Tots did NOT want to talk to me, and wanted to get away as soon as possible, which is why i said bye because it was obvious that our conversation was meaningless. he was edging down the stairs one by one as i was talking to him, but i felt like being annoying so i descended along with him, at the same pace. it made me a little happy that he looked a bit uncomfortable, because if he thinks i'm weird already, then why not torment him some more? later i felt kind of bad for being so bugging though. WHY DO THE SENIORS AVOID ME? i wish they didn't think i was weird. it makes me feel yuck about myself sometimes. alienated.

x

something strange happened that day as well. a teacher told me to cut my fringe. me, being the i'll-never-get-rid-of-my-fringe-ever type of person, said that i won't. she said, I WANT YOU TO LOOK PRETTIER! I WANT GUYS TO DATE YOU!

yes. awkward moment for me. it's actually quite nice of her to care, because most of the Primary Section faculty knows that i am not able to associate with people my age due to work and being home schooled, but nobody talks to me about it. i don't think she realized that topics like dating are something i don't normally discuss with adults, let alone my colleagues. what made it even more awkward was that this teacher is Tots's mum.

x

and on Friday, i felt pretty sad. i was waiting for my brother to come out of the senior building, when a few 9th graders passed me. they stood in a group, whispering amongst themselves, looking my way, pointing at me, and laughing. now this behavior has been tolerated by me before, but i really felt like crying this time. i mean, talk about a way to put down someone's self esteem. i have no idea why they behaved the way they did, but it hurt me quite a lot. what's worse is that they saw that i noticed what they were doing, yet they continued. is it wrong for me to feel ugly right now? and is it wrong for me to envy the fact that they actually have friends to talk about others to? i never backbite and i never ridicule anyone. if i were blessed with friends that i could hang out with everyday, i would never waste that precious time in being cruel about anyone else. this sucks.

x

i do have a fallback if i ever end up without becoming friends with/having a normal conversation with a senior student, so don't worry too much about me, dearest readers-of-this-blog.

i will hunt this guy down, and make him my friend. better yet, i'll marry him. how awesome is his hair? i found this picture on the British Council website. apparently he's an Irish student. yum.

he looks intelligent. i'm badly in need of an intelligent person to talk to, face-to-face. or at this point, anyone will do as long as their hair is awesome.

x

i'm feeling sort of nice after reading some of my old blog posts. i've documented quite a lot in it, especially stuff about work. the days as a substitute teacher, the job interview, the job confirmation + appointment letter, and now the stuff i do as a Teacher's Aide for Kindergarten and permanent faculty member.

i also have toned down the hyper-ness quite a bit. i used to end every sentence with an exclamation mark. like this! and this! isn't this annoying! but whatever! i don't do that anymore! hahaz!

YAYYY I HAVE COME A LONG WAYYY. *self-pats back*

x

okay, now i'm a bit lost about what more to tell you guys. since every eventful thing that happens to me is always associated with my workplace, i feel really bummed that i can't give you guys some other variety of news and all.

on the bright side, this post was colourful, hurray! i like colours. do you like colours? i had made the background black so that all sorts of colours could stand out. once, someone told me that black wasn't a colour. that was a really weird revelation. and the word 'colours' made an appearance far too many times in this paragraph.

x 

i feel a little sick. school in a few hours :( tomorrow is a holiday, due to Chehlum. i'm really thankful that it is. i just want to sleep and sleep and sleep and sleep, and then wake up laaaaate in the afternoon or something. they're going to take my individual photo for the yearbook. i'll be in the 'Teachers' section. sooo tensed! what if i end up looking like some kind of loser? my picture will forever be in the pages of 30,000 yearbook copies or so. and i'll be ridiculed for life. OMG NERVOUSNESS.

my dad is leaving though, which is making me quite sad. after not seeing him for a year, it's hard to let him go after just one month of his visit. i know that he had to go someday or the other, but i am not prepared to say goodbye at all right now. hugs needed badly.

i'm ending it here. tons of love to you guys.

♥

What If - The Love Post.

you all should thank me for not putting the cliched three fullstops in the title.

because, you know, 'What If...' sounds SO cliched, more cliched than 'What If.'

i wonder how many people have a post titled 'What If...' in their blog?

67002837349403. that's possible.

and no, this post is not about MY love. because that's just awkward. i don't love. i just crush die-hard. does that make sense?

before starting off this very all-around-the-place post (and ignoring the fact that the previous few lines mean that this post has already started), i would like to thank all of you for the comments on my previous post.

I LOOOOOOVE YOOOOOOU ALLLLLLL. you guys made me really happy yesterday.

i would like to come over to each of your houses and hand you a large package filled with Sour Skittles. yes, i would do that instead of keeping them all to myself, because i am really, truly grateful for all the joy you bring into my bleak life.

and i think this is the first time i used the word 'bleak' on my blog. oooh, and that was the second! yayness!

this introduction is getting too long. O.O

so, JB Fans, i am pretty much out of news to report about Jackky Bhagnani.

since most of you find news about him boring anyway, i've taken this opportunity to put my imagination into use and create a 'What If' post filled with love for your enjoyment. yes, you're supposed to ENJOY the following.

What If:

- Jackky Bhagnani had a crush?
who do you guys think it would be? having an overactive imagination has led me to answer that question for you. if Jackky Bhagnani was to have a crush on a Bollywood actress, i would think he would choose someone really famous, because you know, how else would he be aware of her? and of course, someone with hit films, someone who's always in the news, someone stunning and gorgeous and pretty and beautiful and stuff. and hot.

keeping all this in mind, i have narrowed down the list of Bollywood actresses from fifty billion to three:

from left to right: Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor.

actually, i made this picture ages ago and just wanted to use it somewhere. so yeah. it came out too small. CLICK TO ENLARGE, and stare at their beauty in awe. you know you want to.

Deepika, Katrina and Kareena are gorgeous. they are arguably the most famous actresses in current times, and have had more good movies than bad. if all three were not taken already, i think they would have suited Jackky Bhagnani quite well. the publicity would be HUGE, and Jackky would always be in the news. there would always be the factor that their fame would overshadow him, but whatever. since this is my imagination, it has no chance of coming true anyway, so i suppose it's okay to post this here.

- Jackky Bhagnani decided to marry?

OMG, wouldn't this be big news? it took all my willpower not to add 'me' to the title of this section. Jackky Bhagnani has already stated that he is 'too young' to marry (he's 26). i think that's all bull manure, because 26 is the PERFECT age for a guy to get married, in my opinion. you are not allowed to disagree. but of course, if Jackky thinks that he's too young, then i suppose he can be the exception with whom i agree.

Anushka Sharma

isn't she STUNNING? i know her eyes are closed but still; i can't help but admire how gorgeous she can be even in her candid moments. Jackky Bhagnani has said that he would 'love to work with' her, and i think their marriage would be the one i would give my blessings to. don't laugh at my sudden desire to be all aunty-ish and coo over them, don't!

Anushka can even rock desi looks, like in her first movie:

awww. ♥
with my fear of wearing shalwar-kameez, all i can do is be wide-eyed with wonder over now nicely Anushka wears them.

x

i wanted this to be longer, but i've already said loads in the love triangle post that i did some time ago. i just wanted to post something today, which is why i came up with this :D

i need suggestions/ideas for more stuff i can add here! then maybe i can do a second edition.

my Life Update is coming sooooon. most probably Monday. i'm working on it, it's turning out to be really long.

take care, JB Fans! :D

Sometimes i feel really down.

like right now, and i don't know the reason. 

you guys are my only friends. make me feel better?

i love you all.

♥

Jackky @ Symbiosis!

what's up, JB Fans?

it seems like Jackky Bhagnani and co. are all set to promote F.A.L.T.U today at Symbiosis International University, Pune. 

The F.A.L.T.U gang have been no strangers to educational institutions, having done shooting + promotion at Sophia College and the University of Mauritius during their entire movie schedule. 

here's what Jackky Bhagnani had to say about this:

 

jackkybhagnani

Guys performing tom at symbiosis in pune first look of faltu specially for all the students so all those people who r from pune r welcome to come jam with us it will be funnnnnnnn . All the Faltuians are welcomeeeeeeeeeeeee

4 hours ago 

people from Pune are SO LUCKY. they'll be the first to get a glimpse of the real F.A.L.T.U. i wish Jackky Bhagnani would come to Pakistan for promotions. wouldn't that be amazing? (regardless of the fact that i'm probably the only Pakistani aware of his existence)

I WOULD LIKE TO 'JAM' WITH JACKKY BHAGNANI.

oh yeah.

x

there's also something i would like to share with you guys, a side to Jackky i had not seen before.

Jackky had recently performed for the Umang Police Show, and his performance was aired on Colors TV a few days ago. Jackky Bhagnani tweeted this:

jackybhagnani

Hope u guys liked my performance on colors 

9 Jan

to which some random loser person replied:

loser sunil_shenoy 

@jackybhagnani noooooooooooooooooooooo it was worse then ur movie kal kisne dekha hai

9 Jan

i felt like killing this guy. HOW MEAN? i mean, Kal Kissne Dekha was a GOOD movie. it was entertaining, it was colourful, it had great acting, it was fun. it had loads of sub-plots which i found pretty good, and the songs were excellent as well. i'm sure Jackky Bhagnani's Umang performance was AMAZING. it must have been too mind-blowingly awesome for that sunil-guy to ever comprehend.

anyway, Jackky replied back:

jackybhagnani

@sunil_shenoy its ok sunil if u thought my performance was bad thank u fr ur honesty will work harder next time :)

10 Jan

awww. i can't help but feel proud of Jackky to handle this maturely and reply so nicely even though it would have been easier for him to ignore that comment. shows that Jackky is great guy all around.

x

and you guys have to check out this F.A.L.T.U poster. SO CUTE!

Jackky is the second from the left. opinions? :D

that's all i have for you guys at the moment. if there's a video of the Symbiosis performance i'll post it up here.
till next time!

OMG someone actually finds me funny i think i'm going to cry *blows nose*

i am overwhelmed. shocked. excited. awed. and i have a little bit of a wet nose because of the sobbing-with-happiness i have done.

I GOT THE LOL AWARD! YAYYYYYY!

okay, so i have to tell you guys seven things about myself that no one knows.

- i don't know what a corn dog is. what is it? is it another name for hot dog? or is it corn between two pieces of bread? does it taste like corn, or meat? if meat, then what kind of meat? do you eat it with ketchup and mustard? how does corn taste with ketchup and mustard then? OMG this is driving me crazy.

- i despise dark chocolate. i know, it's like everyone's favourite edible thing, but i hate the taste. it's bitter and yuck and the aftertaste doesn't go away for ages. i don't understand why people like it so much. the taste of dark chocolate makes me want to pull out my tongue and scrub it vigorously with a loofah. calling it 'dark chocolate' is a poor excuse for some lame chocolate factory in the past which may have forgotten to add the sugar or something. bitter stuff like that is not cool.

- i hate using bad words. you know, the F word and the B word, etc. i always avoid profanities, i almost never swear. i find suitable substitutes like "OMG that person is such a cow", or "this tastes like manure".

- my feet magically shrunk. like, two years ago they were two sizes bigger (i had HUGE feet back then.) but i don't know how, smaller shoes fit me now, even from the same place where i used to buy shoes from before. everyone is pretty much left in wonder about how my dinosaur feet transformed into more presentable and ladylike ones, haha.

- i have a cat. the reason i'm saying this here is because i don't think i have blogged about her before. i've always had cats since i was little. the cat i have now is named Kuchi (pronounced 'coochie'.), she's brown, black and beige in colour, and her breed is Cymric. i love her loads. i might post a picture of her someday! :D

- i become very loud when i'm excited. i don't even realize it, but i shout when i talk. plus my voice turns all high-pitch and childish so it's embarrassing at times. at ALL times.

- i was mercilessly bullied in elementary school. no one wanted to be my friend. i made friends in middle school, when the children from different classes were shuffled. i moved to UAE after that, and made even more friends. i was popular, i was liked by everyone. then i moved back to Pakistan and now it seems like i'm back to square one, since no one here wants to be my friend now.

x

so, those are seven things about me that most of you probably didn't know. i like how my blog is turning more personal day by day on it's own. i hope you guys like it. :D

now, it's time for awarding those seven well-deserving bloggers whom i think are funnaaayyy. you can click on the blog names to visit their blog.

- Aseela at Spoken And Heard. this is the funniest blog i have come across by far. i love Aseela's writing style, and the way she tells her stuff is SO HILARIOUS. she has some serious comedic talent, and her blog is so adorable and one of my favourites!

- LionessWithoutAPride at Bespectacled Views. intelligent humour. I LOVE HER BLOG SO MUCH, and the variety of stuff she blogs about is loads funny and appealing. a must visit.

- PurpleMist at InsomniaStrikes. she ought to be crowned Miss Purple (haha.) her posts are long and interesting, and most of all, cute!

- Maryam at Here I Am. when Maryam wants to write a funny post, she writes a funny one that kicks butt, in a good way. her blog = the bomb. the mega super atomic bomb that i am in love with. ♥

- Shu Rin at The Adventures of a Girl with a Very Big Nose. i love how she writes about things, and i enjoy reading her blog. her everyday life and rants etc are funny and sarcastic and really interesting!

- Pudgy Frog at Persnickety Me. oh my god. her posts make me laugh so much. she's a great writer and i'm glad i found her blog! :D

- Rumana at Bodacious Confessions. i recently started reading her blog and i'm loving it so far! i like the topics Rumana posts about. she seems so uber-cool.

x

i awarded those who hadn't got this award before, so that it can spread even more and that more funny bloggers can be recognized. i absolutely love everyone that Jodie-Ann awarded, and would award them too if they hadn't already got one.

so that concludes the awesomeness of this awesome LOL Award post. how awesome is that?

now i'm going to run to everyone's blogs and inform them about this great honour that i bestowed upon them (haha). to those who got this, make sure you copy+paste and follow the rules on your award posts. congratulations, guys!

Jackky Bhagnani Narrowly Escapes Sabarimala Stampede!

The 2011 Sabarimala stampede occurred on 14 January 2011 at Sabarimala in Kerala in India. More than 100 pilgrims were killed in a stampede that broke out during an annual pilgrimage. At least 90 others were injured. The pilgrims were returning from a Hindu shrine on the last day of a yearly festival which attracts millions of devotees. (read the entire article here.)

This is what the pilgrimage looks like. (picture courtesy IndianBuzzBlog)

i can't believe it. they had all gone for a good reason; to pray, to experience the energy of the pilgrimage.

and more than a hundred died, because a broken down jeep was parked in the middle of the narrow road, causing a stampede.

along with the 3 crore (30,000,000 - yes, thirty million) devotees, Jackky Bhagnani had also gone for this pilgrimage.

here is what he tweeted before the stampede:

Just walked up sabrimala there r 3 crore people every one here fr d same purpose super energy 11:52 AM Jan 13th via Twitter for BlackBerry®

Wishin all of u a very happy makarsakranti n im lucky to be in sabrimala n witness the makar jyoti 9:19 PM Jan 13th via Twitter for BlackBerry®

and here is what he tweeted after: 

@ritupatil17 yes i am safe luckily but its sad what happened here 105 people died due to stampede may lord ayappa bless their souls about 21 hours ago via Twitter for BlackBerry® in reply to ritupatil17

@SrBachchan i know sir i was there last night at sabrimala and it was sad to see that happen luckily we go saved it was devastating about 4 hours ago via Twitter for BlackBerry® in reply to SrBachchan

this is truly shocking. the stampede has been the third and worst mishap that Sabarimala has ever witnessed in the history of pilgrimages carried out there.

i am so glad and relieved that Jackky Bhagnani is safe and sound. i'm sure it must have been really terrible being there while such a horrible thing was happening. it's really, really heartbreaking that so many people lost their lives and others got wounded and injured due to something so insignificant as a broken down vehicle, especially when they had all come for a pure purpose with faith and energy and love in their hearts. life is such a wonderful gift, and those who use it to devote themselves in prayer to whatever deity they believe in are very special indeed. my heartfelt condolences go out to the families of those killed in the stampede, and i sincerely hope that the souls of those who died while taking this spiritual journey find a place in heaven.

i'm sad now. :(

SO MUCH TO SAY.

hey there, kids.

this post will be LOOOONG. super long, because apparently if i leave my blog alone for two days, i miss out on a lot and i have no time to post everything separately. O.O

if you're wondering what Jackky Bhagnani is up to, he's off visiting a temple. he was also shooting a while back, which is quite odd because the entire cast informed all their fans that Christmas would be their last day on the sets. STRANGE. but whatever.

DO I HAVE A LOT TO TELL YOU.

INDEED I DO.

I DO I DO I DO.

it all started on wednesday, january 12th 2011.

i was on break duty for the little kids, which means i had to stand in the school playground and monitor the grade ones, twos and threes while they were doing their little diddlysquat games and shizz. usually quite a sad moment in time for me, because a) i am not a grade one/two/three student so i have no one to play with b) it gets boring being the only adult there. no wait, i'm only 16. not an adult. but it gets boring being the only faculty member there amongst all the childish hoo-haas and the various exclamations of "pass the ball!" "i'm not your friend anymore!" "stop hitting me!".

BUT, as i looked around, i noticed someone taller than the rest, on the faaaaaar (really far) end of the playground shooting hoops. and by that, i mean playing basketball, not some warped form of target-shooting.

it was The Blonde Senior. dun dun dunnnnnnn

this isn't him, but the body frame and hair is correct. just to give you guys an idea.

he was the only other person my age there, ALONE. PLAYING BASKETBALL.

of course, i acted all nonchalant and didn't look towards him again, even though my heart was going all boom boom. thankfully i was joined by another teacher who happens to be 20 years old, closest to my age amongst the entire faculty, and the second she came and stood next to me i said:

do you see that blonde guy playing basketball over there?

her: that one?

me: yes. i have the HUGEST crush on him.

her: how come?

me: he's cute.

her: he's looking at you.

me: huh?

her: he's looking at you a lot.

me: OMG, REALLY?! *looks in the direction of The Blonde Senior*

and yes, he WAS looking at me after every few seconds, which was quite exciting. the 20-year-old-teacher stayed with me, listening to my gush-fest about how cute The Blonde Senior is and how he was following me around the school last term (i blogged about that ages ago but i forgot in which post. O.O). after every two minutes she would say, "he's looking at you." and i would feel pretty nervous/self-conscious/BLOODY EXCITED. because you know, i thought he didn't like me at all. and even if he did before, i had assumed that he didn't like me anymore. it's a given that i would like him anyway, since i'm so boy-crazy and he is so crazy-cute, that my feelings don't really count as anything =P

plus, i'm a teacher and he's a student. it doesn't matter if we're the same age, or if i teach Kindergarten, what matters is that i'm in A Levels and he's in O Levels. he's my junior. a really cute junior, but still. plus, i am an authority figure to him, not one of those student-girls his own age with whom he could easily be friends with. it made me a little sad thinking about why i have to work and not study. but still, THERE IS HOPE I COULD BE FRIENDS WITH A GUY WITH BLONDE HAIR YAYYY!

anyway, break-time ended and i had to collect my mum's grade one students from where they had formed a line to be led back to their class (because mama was sick that day so she couldn't go down to the playground) and suddenly the 20-year-old-teacher came behind me and said, "he's coming your way." and then she left.

OHHH MYYYY GODDDDDD. my heart was in overdrive, but i managed to stay outwardly calm. i turned around and saw him walking across the entire stretch of playground in my direction, which is the Primary side so he has no business there anyway. O.O

anyway, so he came, and just sat on a bench.

JUST SAT THERE.

and watched me.

which is pretty awesome and awful at the same time. awesome because: this has got to mean something. i mean, he just crossed the entire Senior ground to sit in the Primary side and watch me. awful because: he was watching me and OMG WHAT IF I GET PUSHED OVER BY THE ROWDY CHILDREN AND I FALL FACE FIRST IN THE MUD-

so yeah. tense situation there, but i managed to pass him okay-ish (i think i walked too slow because i had trouble concentrating on the exact speed i should walk on to appear unaware of his presence). what made it loads difficult was that we made eye contact at one point, and then he was not looking away from my face.

the 20-year-old-teacher was apparently witnessing all this, because when i passed The Blonde Senior and went inside the building, she came to me and said, "he was totally checking you out!"

so i felt quite happy and ecstatic and elated, because after an entire year i finally got attention from a guy. not just any guy, but THE GUY who i've been crushing on since last term.

later that afternoon, i went to the 20-year-old-teacher for some actual work related to one of her students. while talking she let it slip in that The Blonde Senior came inside the Primary building and went till the staircase, hung around there, and left. he had no reason to do so, because he has never come to the Primary building, and he's a senior anyway so he should never have the need to.

does this mean he was looking for me? if it does, then i feel like squealing with excitement, because you know, cute guy looking for me = a good thing.

alas, i did not see him after that. it's friday now and i'm home from school/work, and wednesday seems so far away. funny thing is, today i went in the playground for break duty, and there was a guy playing basketball all alone. it was Teddy Bear. and i was disappointed.

Kamila from Basket of Dreams tagged me in this survey. she wanted to know more about me, and since she is so lovely and nice and i love her blog, i couldn't say no. :D

1. if you have pets, do you see them as merely animals, or are they members of your family?

members of my family.

2. if you can have a dream to come true, what would it be?

this is hard. if i go more blog-related, then i would choose the dream of Jackky Bhagnani acknowledging me as his biggest fan. on a more personal level, i really wish i could have my old life back. the one before moving to Pakistan, the one with friends, education, happiness, freedom, no financial/family problems.
3. what is the one thing most hated by you?

i don't hate a 'thing' as such.
4. what would you do with a billion dollars? 

i can never really decide whenever i come across this question. but i would like to spend a large portion bailing out innocent people from jail.
5. what helps to pull you out of a bad mood?

blogging, always! whether it's writing my own posts or reading others', it's one of my favourite things to do.
6. which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?

being loved
7. what is your bedtime routine? 

usually i eat dinner, iron my clothes for the next day, spend time on my blog, brushing teeth+changing into PJs and then sleep.
8. if you are currently in a relationship, how did you meet your partner?

if crushes could count as relationships i would have a million billion trillion things to say. =P
9. if you could watch a creative person in the act of the creative process, who would it be?

nobody. i have to think about this one, but i don't think i have an answer. maybe Jackky Bhagnani while he's acting? but that's the director's creativity and i don't really have an interest in watching Remo D'souza.
10. what kinds of books do you read?

i love books, so everything. except romance novels. they suck. and adult novels with dirty things. they suck more. and non-fiction. that's boring.
11. how would you see yourself in ten years time?

counting my upcoming birthday, i'll be 27 in ten years! so hopefully married with children, and most probably working.
12. what’s your fear?

that the same thing will happen all over again. i can't face it again; i'll die.
13. would you give up all junk food for the rest of your life for the opportunity to visit outer space?

no, haha.
14. would you rather be single and rich or married, but poor?

single and rich.
15. what’s the first thing you do when you wake up?

shut off my alarm.
16. if you could change one thing about your spouse/partner what would it be?

if i could change anything in the guys i crush on, it would be the tiny part of the brain which causes them to not pay heed to my existence.
17. if you could pick a new name for yourself, what would it be?

i like my real name, and my blogger name, so nothing.
18. would you forgive and forget no matter how horrible a thing that special someone has done?

if that 'special someone' means future boyfriend/guy i have the biggest crush on in the world, then no.
19. if you could only eat one thing for the next 6 months, what would it be?

those masala fries with ketchup that is available in the school canteen.

honestly Kamila, i had no problem with this so you don't have to feel guilty for tagging me. no torment, haha. plus i put it here so it goes with the personal stuff i posted along with it, kinda-sorta. :D and since you wanted to know more about me i hoped this helped!

i won't tag anyone though, if anyone wants to do this after reading from here, go ahead. and let me knowww.

F.A.L.T.U/Accepted Controversy!

hey there, JB Fans! 

as you all know, there have been loads of rumours concerning F.A.L.T.U being a remake/copy of the Hollywood film 'Accepted', of which a Bollywood remake by the name of 'Admissions Open' has already been released. there's a fresh update which can be considered as turning this rumour into the truth.

Raindrop Media published this report:

The zingy comedy shot extensively in Mauritius will mark choreographer Remo D’Souza's directorial debut and promises dance numbers nothing short of brilliant.

The film tells the tale of a student played by Jackky Bhagnani who thanks to his terrible grades can’t get into a college and comes up with the idea of starting a University with the help of his friends.

read full article here. [Courtesy Pearl Rise Entertainment]

Accepted storyline:

Bartleby Gaines (Justin Long) is a persuasive high-school senior who, among other pranks, creates fake IDs. His gifts do not extend to grades, however, and he receives rejection letters from all of the universities and colleges to which he applies. In an attempt to seek approval from his strict father, Bartleby creates a fake college, the South Harmon Institute of Technology (S.H.I.T.). He is aided by his friend Sherman Schrader III (Jonah Hill), who has been accepted into the prestigious Harmon College, and fellow rejects. (read more here)

OH MY GOD. so, the last hopes of F.A.L.T.U having an original storyline have been buried into the dirt.

OR HAVE THEY?

(haha i cannot believe i used that phrase.)

apparently, everything that we have believed has been a LIE!

here's what F.A.L.T.U's producer (and Jackky Bhagnani's dad) Vashu Bhagnani had to say about it: 

“My film Faltu has a different take on the system of education in our country today. It has nothing to do with either Accepted or Admissions Open!”

and here's a quote from Jackky himself:

“The subject of F.A.L.T.U is mind boggling and the kind which you have not seen in Hindi cinema till today. F.A.L.T.U is a subject on the decaying system of education in our country today, but it is told in a commercial format with a lot of dances and songs which the youth like. I just cannot wait to face the camera for the film! My father has a reputation behind him and will not lift his subject from any foreign film. Admissions Open may have lifted the idea of Accepted but F.A.L.T.U has nothing to do with Accepted. Saying that Faltu is a copy of Accepted is like stating that 3 Idiots is a copy of Accepted because it also dealt with the subject of education!”

LOL. mentioning a great film like 3 Idiots in relation to a question about your film certainly takes a lot of pre-planned strategy and guts. there was a lot of intelligence in Jackky's reply, but that could get him in trouble if there is even a slight similarity between F.A.L.T.U and Accepted.

read more about this totally interesting mouthing-off fest here.

AND OH MY GOODNESS. does this mean that certain media houses are leaking out wrong information about F.A.L.T.U? or is the F.A.L.T.U team trying to cover up their leaked story?

well, i think it's a giant misunderstanding and someone should just let us know what the real storyline is, or at least the synopsis. it's the least they could do, and it's the best thing at this point instead of leaving us with irritating cliffhangers.

x

and about your lovely and really helpful suggestions on what i asked in my previous post;

i'm considering to post loads of more personal things now, but still keep the main focus on Jackky. i don't want 6 months of blogging going to waste, plus i realized that as his biggest fan and the only one who's been consistent in caring for each and every thing he has been doing ever since his first movie, it would be really unfair to abandon him like that. i've also realized that i actually enjoy blogging about him, and i'm being completely honest here. i care about Jackky so much, it's almost unexplainable. i have high hopes that one day, my blog and i shall be recognized by him, and i would like nothing more than support and encouragement to continue with my efforts.

i hope you guys know that i love you the most though, and i am really overwhelmed and overjoyed about the immense response i get when i post about myself. you guys are the best! ♥ i promise i'll be posting Life Updates wayyy more regularly now. I LOVE YOU ALL. and i mean it. you're all my best friends, you've helped me change in loads of ways. *group hug*
