The FF* Blog Award!!

Mood: Obnoxiously Boastful, Obscurely Humorous.

Fifty days into this new world, when I was too lazy to even think of a topic for my next post, my dear friend, Arshat has decided to bail me out. In a month of Indians winning BAFTAs and Oscars, I have been awarded something myself. Was a real experience, I tell you. Head held high, and with a weird accent like Freida Pinto's (Now two international superstars from the same suburb - Malad, Mumbai!) I answered all the questions posed by the international press. Feel free to mail me for the video of the red-carpet, people. While the name of the award might not be widely spoken about in your family yet, make sure your mom, dad and your galfirends, guyfriends come to know of me and my blog; Thanks. 

For those who had missed the live telecast on Harryfication TV, here is an excerpt of what actually happened.:

Arshat (Presenter) : "And the award for the Fucking Fabulous Blog goes to...Any guesses?? Yes! It's the bookies favorite - Harryfication!!

***Applause, Applause, Applause***

Harish, on the dais to receive the award, "I want to thank myself for irregularly writing such crap, my readers for even having the courage to venture into this blog, Arshat for giving the-lazy-me the Viagra to start blogging eventually and also for presenting this award, my friends, my family, my PC, MTNL Triband net, blah blah, blah.." (Emotional, with moist eyes..)

"Shut Up now, and get going, There are four more people sharing this award. Off the stage, now!", the sponsors were suddenly witnessing their Ad rates plummet during my speech. Grrr!!

Now, the way the award is to be accepted:

a. Put the award image on your blog.

b. List 10 truths about yourself.

c. Give the award to 5 other bloggers.

d. Provide a meaningful quotation.

a) The Award Image:

b) The Ten Truths:

1. I believe in 'A bottle in hand is better than a crate on the table', (Open to interpretation)
   
2. I used to be obsessed with Aishwarya Rai during my Junior College. I had a life size poster in my room. My first poem was dedicated to her. My friends renamed me HALT - Harish Aishwarya Lavan Thangaraj.
   
3. Me and Arshat were the only 'enlightened souls' back in the 9th grade. Round table conferences they used to be. Obviously only boys were allowed to attend and the topic was a run-away hit.Our knowledge back then was greater than what most guys have even today at this age..
   
4. I have been told that I am one of those few people who can live on an island for years without any people around. I agree; I would just need a PC, Internet and my N82 (Keep the SIM with you). Ooops, a power source.
   
5. I love analyzing people. It comes naturally to me. Certain images and sketches are created in my rather impressive brain (Joke!!) within seconds of meeting someone. Hmm...
   
6. I have a certain list of 3-4 people with whom I can talk about any and every topic on earth. I have bored them by advising heavily at times. Others are luckier, I mind my own business and let them mind theirs.
   
7. I consider the yellow full moon against a dark and cloudy sky to be the most beautiful thing in the Universe.
   
8. I topped my school in the 1st and the 10th grade. Wonder what I was doing in between!!
   
9. During school, I wanted to be an Architect; used to sketch buildings of weird shapes and sizes in my free time. 
   
10. I keep changing my hairstyle every now and then. That btw, is just a trailer of how I try to keep changing far more important things.
    
11. This is my idiotic blog and I set my idiotic rules and I also get to break them; I am extending the list. More crap to follow.
    
12. I have spent atleast 10 hours on most posts here. I suck at keeping stuff short, so I make them long and boring!
    
13. The 'lucky' number on the left is my Birthdate.
    
14. Michael Schumacher, Lance Armstrong and Sachin Tendulkar, in the mentioned order, are my life heroes. The last time I 'kinda cried' was when Schumi announced his retirement.
    
15. I like to talk about Life, Death, Life after Death, Death before Life, and such stuff. I just love sensible late night hard talk. My friends will know.
16. My Mom used to want me to get married as soon as I finished college as she was kinda afraid I would end up in an affair. Surprisingly neither of the two came true...Duh..
17. I realise it's fun to write about yourself.
    

c) Award five other bloggers:

I will actually skip the third part of the tradition here. I am too new myself in the blog world to give away awards to others. Surely sometime later.

d) Quotation:

Live for the person who will die for you,

Smile for the person who will cry for you,

Fight for the person who will care for you,

And love the person who will love you more than you!!

So that's it then. My first blog awards night. Excuse the award images if you found them offensive. So better give me more decent awards all of you...Anybody listening??

Quick Thought: Although, I do agree these blog awards are similar to those networking spam mails, it's fun to write about, and feel good about yourself once in a while. I also realise everybody might not relate to this particular post, especially after the previous post :D Perfectly fine with me..A different day, a different mood! Besides some sarcasm and change is necessary in life!!
