S for Synopsis/ Supervisor

Remember the time I told my then potential supervisor to read Phd Comics? Well, I hope he hasn't gotten around reading it because well, he is my supervisor/guide now.A pretty decent one at that. He does not 'pressurise' (and well, I surely don't do weed ll in such 'under pressure' situations so that's actually a very good thing) although he does expect me to stick to deadlines. And well the latest is I have to submit my synopsis in a couple of days and well, I'm lost. Maybe it has been too much gap, maybe I've over-read whatever I've written so far but I am kind of lost. So a couple of days ago, I submitted my synopsis to my guide and well yesterday he sent it back fully formatted (eh, he didn't quite read the entire document properly though - I noticed one or two incomplete sentences while reading it just now). But full formatted with title and all. I feel bad and good. Either ways, wish me luck I have to meet him and present the firs...

Q for Q

Hangaroo. Hang man. Taboo. Dumb Charades. Scrabble. What do these have in common you ask (alright you don't, but I cannot thing of any other way of starting this post alright, so let it go let it go let it go ...Er..wrong time to start thought bulb-ing a song Reef,get back to the post) Apart from me being fabulous at them (Oh well okay, not all of them) they are all forms of word games. But nothing can beat the oldest of the games i.e. something we played from when we were really little. NAME- PLACE -ANIMAL- THING. And there are certain 'Red Letters' of the alphabet while playing this game. Mainly Q,X. While since names can actually be made up that leaves as with the rest of the categories. For places the most written answer is 'Queensland'. Its the Animal and thing that leaves a lot of people including me stranded. Since even BIRDS are counted as ANIMALS for this game I usually write Quail.And ONLY because I liked reading classics and later Harry Pot...

N for No

Yes, N for No As a kid, apparently 'No' was the first English word I used and ONLY English word I used for the longest time. Although a lot of my qualities, both good and bad have been quite consistent over all these years, I do not have the habit of answering EVERYTHING in this singular, monosyllabic word of negation. Yes,I do use it but I often find it difficult to say this to anyone I consider friend/family. (This is not to be consfused with my stubbornness or rigidity in certain [read several] aspects of life) Of late, however I come across three people of pretty different backgrounds who most often reply to most questions with a simple 'N' 'O'- NO. First, A certian 'seven seas across' hamster loving almost two year old who loves answering by saying a very assertive 'No No'. This ranges from negating food preferences to non-star spangled clothes. Second, A gigantic teddy bear who hails from one of our neighbouring countries and has d...
