Melody on November 3rd, 2006

Someone once came by the blog and sent me this horrible horrible message on how disorganised everything was etc etc. He also mentioned the lack of an “About” page.

I thought “If I don’t want to have an about page, I won’t”. After all, the whole blog’s about me, ain’t it?

But truth be told, am also just a tad (trifle tad only) bit lazy to write an about page myself.


(Who’s that girl??) File pic, from a year ago

So here’s the challenge:

Write what you think should go on my About page.

Pls. note! No copying off the blog - nothing should be copy/pasted or modified. And don’t just change 1st person accounts of mine into 3rd person (I totally dislike plagiarizers). The entry should be completely in your own words and preferably actually what you think about me!

I’m very intrigued to find out what you my regular readers really think I’m all about, so looking fwd to reading the answers to this contest!

Winners get yet another silly blog-button and also a chance to feature on my About page!

  1. you are all about … spreading joy and hapiness !!
    from all i have read ….

    p.s. look gor-G-eous in ze pic !

  2. why do i feel that what i will write you wont believe it but here it goes anyways.

    you are very friendly (since most beautiful girls like u arent)

    You are very outgoing (specially going out to eat at new places and i would pay when i come to mumbai to take me to all the place u listed in your blog)

    You are nice, warm, happy, not at all egoistic person
    and you like blogging very much

  3. One word: “Yummy!”

  4. Melody is the only blogger(popular bloggers) who actually takes out the time to respond to all the comments posted on her posts. This is what I call dedication.

  5. You like babies. Hmm… Seems I don’t know much else. I will therefore just read what people write about you.

    PS: Feels good to see you being battered by people for blog architecture deficiencies. I am thinking of adding a page to mine explaining why it looks the way it does.

  6. for a veteran of ur contests.. (having won both of them so far)
    thats too much work… but the temptation is too high..

    will prob come up with something in a week or so.. after i get a good night’s sleep! :)

  7. @ All Contestants: Sorry, forgot to add, will close this contest by the end of the month.

    And thx for all the nice things said so far. Do keep ‘em coming :D

  8. Nopes, not here to win the ‘contest’. So disregard my comments when you ‘choose’ the winner. Having said that, I haven’t read many of your posts; I would have said ‘any’, but I did read the write-up on the bloggers meet-up, and what other bloggers had to say about you in their respective posts; and this one now. With regards to the former post that I mentioned, if you believe in meta-physical connections, then you would be one among the rare few whom I could say, ‘I know her’ w/o even meeting you, nor knowing much about you. It just makes me feel elite to feel that way about you.

    …now you know who writes scripts for movies like ‘Serendipity’! Point-blank liars like moi. :D

  9. “Point-blank liars like moi.”

    Oh well. Guess I should disregard everything you’ve said then.

  10. I could be lying about that too!

  11. Am glad you liked the romantic way to spend an evening. *bows in gratitude*.. sorry havent been online for a bit now. I get blognesia, yup a new form of amnesia about blogging.

    Btw I agree with similarity the Charlotte’s *character* attitude and yours : Coincidently, this for could form part of your “About” page:
    - a deadly combination of beauty & brains…sauteed with a healthy amount of romanticism and cynicism.
    - a sprinkling of prankism (if ever there was a word called prank’ism), caring and a dash of honesty (really?)
    - all this underlined with the base of spirituality!!!

    From what I know (gather), You truly live life “like there is no tomorrow and yesterday never happened”
    Anyone wishing to contribute to this statement?? ;-)

    Okay am a little confused now what else to writism.. i mean write. *ha ha*

  12. @ Brat: Gosh Brat & Brad! Was a little confused! Not answering any comments, will decide at the month’s end…
  13. Here is my entry. :-D

    You are a sweet girl in the Indian blogosphere, who is nice to others yet don’t mind talking harsh when you see things going wrong (ex: posts on Rahul Mahajan, Lalu, or Kasliwal corruption). Eventhough you live in a creamy-layer world, you are not one of those who don’t give a damn about what goes around. Your posts about your outings and life make people curious to come over and some call it page-3 blog perhaps because they are envy that they cannot live a life like yours. You do love your mom, cousins and friends (I can see it from your posts). You do love outing, watching movies, checking out new restaurants in the town. You know you are gorgeous and you do like posting your pics and people love seeing it. [:-)] A very spiritual person who do not bash the other religions to claim your belief.

    After all, this is not for the entry, I am glad that I know you through your blog. :-) Just be the same as you are!

  14. The world is going digital and Melody is regressing.She listens to records. For those who do not know what that is, those are those discs that were used prior to the advent of compact cassette tapes or CDs.

    This song is for you Melody: Poly vinyl Lady by Rock machine. You can download the song here: http://www.massdeletion.com/rm.html

    Sorry, melody, it is in the digital format. Balding, belly growing ppl who have fond memories of Rock Machine will find all the hits by Rock Machine/Indus Creed at the above link.

  15. no idea. seems to be a zany person and very up on life. keep it up… there’s a long dreary road ahead

  16. Melody and the City

    Movies, Food, Men, God , Books and Wisdom - Its all on Melody’s blog right here.

  17. Well, from your blog you really look like a Pg3 personality,but being a regular visitor of tvimh I would say you are a person for whom the most important thing is your relationship with God.

    You seem to be a “people person”. You enjoy being with people. Family,friends and friends of friends :) and of course you absolutely adore and love kids.

    You are also a keen observer. Observing people,events around you and having a opinion about them and more importantly accepting and respecting others opinion too.

    You love the idea of being in Love :) right ? well, everyone does,lol :), Ya, I remember the most romantic thing posts and all that stuff.Having said that it seems that you have experienced some “downs & ups” in the matters of heart. Sorry if I am over interpretting.

    and oh god I forgot the important thing
    “YOU REALLY LOOK VERY GOOD”

    - Ravi

  18. see by taking a glance around this blog ye can be fooled into thinking that melody is high maintenance but looking carefully this blog is more like a central perk than a snobbishy old brit joint. so we figures that she is high maint. but in a good way. The fact that she is always wishing people birthday’s and spreading the joy arounds means she means well for everyone and isnt bitchy !. and we likes people who mean well. Admitingly religious and impression-ingly ‘in denial’ and secretive about the affairs of the heart like the jane austen heroines are..and its i believe some sort of a magic potion that keeps her so thin despite th fact that there are numerous resaraunt review floating all over this site ! so all in all the fact that i read this site without even knowing her and anything about the stories she posts is a ‘vouch-ment” for the fact that we sees a positive energy here and a happy writing style ! Melody looks likes she could be a very good cupid ! and we are certainly sure she would make an A grade santa’s helper ! and by we i dont mean me myself and irene but me brittany and paris hilton coz we are the best friends forever now ! thre you go melody !! is this testimonial-ish thing good enough ?

    p.s. all the opinions expressed above are taken keeping in mind this blog only and taken to heart or made into any issues they can be very injurious to health.

  19. looks like an angel. thinks like the devil. more of the latter, from what i have seen.

  20. Melody hai choclatee….that sums up about her

    Oh! Since this is a contest, I am supposed to write something more….. someone who believes in living life to the fullest, has this beautiful relationship with GOD which keep her feet grounded, a terrific sense of humour and apt at multitasking….where does she finds time to attend so many social events / parties, meet friends (mera number kab aayega), write blog with such regularity besides ofcourse doing her job

    …a self proclaimed narcissist (though this contest has nothing to do with it…lol)…though we guys cant get enough of her pics

    …..if there was a Hollywood movie with a lady Bond in the lead…no one on the blogworld has any doubt that she wud be the first preference for the role….she cud kill those yucky egoistic villains with juss her looks…her “oomph” enhanced by her perfect sense of dressing….what do they say in beauty pageants….a rare combination of beauty and brains

    Mein aur makhan nahi mar sakta…ab tu mere ko award de do

  21. She is a bootiphool girl (am I sounding like a lesbian ;) )..nah; sachi…aaye shapat… she really is good looking…a real Page 3 personality…for more on this…read her posts…visiting all the lovely eateries in bby seems to her passion…along with loads of shopping…ohh n yeah she stays in my fav place in bby..thats bandra…*just wanted to add bandra*

  22. Whoa! You seem to have a truckload of fans.

  23. Ah… My entry:

    “Well, Melody is jus zis girl you know….”

  24. i sooooooooo knew melody stays in bandraaaaaaa !!!! i and u didnt get the philomena aunty joke ? men ? BANDRA ROCKSSS !!!

  25. I don’t have my facts right Mel…have been visiting your blog for a while now…n that Bandra thingie is a Guess..

  26. Chocolatee Mel : What do you want me to write here….these guys have already written so much. Nothing left for me. Plus I still need to know you better…. ;)

  27. Never seen her, never read her blog. Doesn’t matter. All my impressions about her are a result of a baby blogger attending Sakshi’s bloggy bash. Baby blogger completely in the awe of her calls me up and screws up his telephone bill, but after looking at the party pics thought it was worth screwing. Tough to take that I didn’t attend that pardy …
    She looks ok enuff from the pics but the real fun as my sources tell me lie in the bakbakiya andaz.
    Ok Ok Ok just had a browse through the pics while writing this, I feel you require to eat more, enjoy food and get healthier. Ask me for the best places in Mumbai or just tell me sometime, baby blogger will arrive with the same. But he will kill me baap-re.
    What crap, anyway do give me some crazy button…

  28. who wins?

  29. Sorry, been a tad busy, contest closed but haven’t chosen the winners yet… means me having to write the About me page too, which I’m just not enthu to do. Sigh.

  32. I can wait even till 2008 Mel given me goin to be th winner [;)]

  33. u look very nice. ur face is photojenic.

  34. I KNOW YOU SAID ORIGINAL BUT I THOUGHT THIS SONG FIT YOU PERFECTLY!
    WITH MINOR MODIFICATIONS “TO YOU IN MEMORY OF GOA”
    (PLS NOTE INTENT OF SONG IS ONLY TO DESCRIBE YOU AND DOES NOT MIRROR
    MY PERSONAL FEELINGS! IN CASE YOU GET THE WRONG IDEA ;-) )

    She can kill with a smile
    She can wound with her eyes
    She hates people who tell casual lies
    And she only reveals what she wants you to see
    She hides like a child
    But she’s always a woman to me

    She can lead you to love
    She can take you or leave you
    She can ask for the truth
    And she’ll always believe you
    And she’ll take what you give her to her honestly
    Yeah, she steals like a child
    But she’s always a woman to me

    Oh-she takes care of herself
    She can wait if she wants
    She’s ahead of her time
    Oh-and she never gives out
    And she never gives in
    She just changes her mind

    And she’ll promise you more
    Than you ever believed in
    Then when people carelessly cut you
    She will take care while you’re bleedin’
    But she’ll bring out the best
    And the only the best you can be
    Make you believe in yourself
    Cause she’s always a woman to me

    She is frequently kind
    And she’s candidly cool
    She can do as she pleases
    She’s nobody’s fool
    But she can’t be convicted
    She’s earned her degree
    And the most she will do
    Is throw shadows at you
    But she’s always a woman to me

  35. You my good ole neighbour….right???
