Flying Danger

I made a bowl of popcorn today, to prevent me from eating too many gummy worms. See the problem is that I'm a vegetarian, and so I can't eat too many types of gummy worms because they have gelatin. My father was out of town a week ago, and found this confectionary that makes gummy worms without gelatin - and so, knowing my love for the chewy slitherers, brought back a couple of packets (to last me to the end of the year). Because I'd had too many yesterday (while I was studying, of course), I decided to diversify my junk intake, and climbed up the refrigerator to get to the cupboard that houses our popcorn popper.


So I put the kernels into the trusty machine, and plugged it in. Soon after, the white fluff started flying out and I tried catching as much as I could in the bowl that I was holding. But - one unpopped kernel flew out, burning hot, and hit me on my hand - and now I have a popcorn kernel burn on my right hand...


and it hurts...


especially while typing...


popcorn is dangerous people..beware

Love - Crow Style

You know, we hear about eagles mating, lions mating, even pigeons mating - but do we ever hear about crows doing the same? We all know that when peacocks mate, the male shows-off his feathers to impress the peahen; but what do crows do?

Well, dear readers - I think I may have the answer.
On one of my multiple walks around campus, I came across a relatively large crow - with a massive chest. I thought nothing of it, until (having passed it) I looked back and saw it idling up towards another crow. Now, obviously I'm not an expert on distinguishing between male and female crows, but unless the big chested crow had other leanings, I'm pretty sure the crow he was eyeing was a female.

Me thinks it's crow mating season right now.


And that concludes another completely random post on RFS

Haule Haule...

New favourite song? Well, not really - almost/sort of...
Haule Haule from Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi...
Haule haule se hawa lagati hai
Haule haule se dawa lagati hai
Haule haule se du'a lagati hai haan.

Haule haule chanda barhta hai
Haule haule ghunghat uthta hai
Haule haule se nashaa chartaa hai haan.

Tu sabr to kar mere yaar
Zara saans to le dildaar
Chal fikr ko goli maar yaar
Hain din jindari de chaar

Haule haule ho jaayega pyaar chaliya
Haule haule ho jaayega pyaar
