Hi friends this is my second FAQs blog post and I hope it satisfies some of your curiosity about me. Now the question that I will be answering today is a bit off the track. This is asked to me by every other person that I know specifically by my friends Salik, Bhaskar, Saurav, etc. They all gape at my face and ask me " Are you having an affair with Hilary?" . Please don't come to any conclusion about the name Hilary here as I am using it hypothetically; although I would like very much to have an affair with Hilary ( I am assuming that you recognize which Hilary I am speaking about!)
Well to tell the truth I have not had an affair with any girl all my life. Does this sound far fetched? I suppose it does! So I am altering it to " I have not had any lasting affair with any girl, although I must admit that there were many for whom I held a certain weak affinity, some of them were or are my classmates while others I suppose are some people I have met." Now that I suppose is believable.
To tell you folks another truth I think that my friends specially Bhaskar tend to blow my innocent ramblings with girls infinitely out of proportion! Still I try and keep a straight face while meeting them the next time. Now that he has learnt how to use Orkut, he has taken some considerable effort in teasing me at Orkut!
I guess my position has become clear to all of you out there! So I see no point in continuing this post and heaving upon you some more of my nonsense. Promising for a nice post next time...signing off!

FAQs-2

Who is the Godot?
The other day after I was asked some particularly worthless questions I began to wonder why some people have the useless habit of worrying what others are up to when it is none of their business. Well I will be damned if I mentioned any names here for its also the great duty of this question posers to castigate anyone voicing these opinions. After all in India, "the world's largest democracy' all these comes at a price- the price of unwanted attention.
I have continuously wondered why a very dear friend of mine always wonders which girl I am willing to date if given a chance. If he has no other useful work to do then I would have left him to his musings but he is not that idle to warrant his mind to such stray thoughts If by any luck he reads this piece then he would start the very next day with renewed vigor in his already started mission of encompassing his girl that happens to talk to me as a possible substitute for the previous ones.
Maybe currently I may in about the 100th possible link up still I don't complain as I have grown accustomed to it having heard all these for more than 5 years of my significantly short life which if my calculations are correct comes to about 27.78% approximately of my whole life.
All these reminds me of the classic drama " Waiting for Godot" which I first encountered in an article on Operator Theory , a branch of mathematics where like in the drama the protagonist( If I can call it one) fails to appear whereas everyone knows that he ( or she) exists.Well my life is turning out to be the same now. There certainly is a Godot somewhere but the question remains when will she choose to appear? I might not be much of a blogger then but certainly I will be happy to stop these random mumblings. But I guess the one who would be more happy than me would be the friend that I wont mention here!

Am I smitten?
Well what a better note to begin this blog then to talk my heart out about something personal. Unless you happen to
know me personally you would not happen to know that I am an ardent fan of Miss. Hillary Duff! Yes, that cute girl next
door. When I first saw her in the hit Disney series Lizzie McGuire then instantly I was captivated. Her long locks as well
as that exhilarating countenance was more than a match for anything that I had seen before. So I watched that series with
much enthusiasm until it was stooped . Later on I treaded into her movies and then her songs and my my both were just
the same.
Now the question that must be ringing in each one of your minds will be that "Am I smitten?"
Honestly my answer will be " YES! I am."
Now I remember an incident when last year our English question paper had the question to write a paragraph about
our favorite player. When I asked one of my close friends called Sidhartha about whom he was going to write he cheerily
replied "Tendulkar." I suggested he write about some one else as Mr.Tendulkar was bound to be written by many and so
he could expect lees marks. Then he gave me the classic reply "I am not concerned about my marks. The mere fact that I
am writing about him will suffice"
Now the same applies in my case too. I donot give a damn whether any one reads this post or not but the fact that I
am writing this will do for me.
Being in a very down to earth place like Tezpur has some distinctive disadvantages. For one I have to struggle very
hard to find the latest releases of Hilary. But still I try....
Also the fact that she is all but 19 does not help as I too am of the same age group. maybe some day somewhere I will
get at least to meet her. Even if its not a date....
Many months ago I had seen someone much like Hilary in Tezpur while I was returning home but till now I haven't been
able to trace her either....
As I finish writing this I will be downloading a video of Hilary from YouTube.
Waiting for a new dawn........Signing off Manjil.........
