Howdy! My name is Mamta, and this is my blog! I started it one night completely out of the blue, bearing in mind that I am anti-technology and super lazy when it comes to technology. And I am SO anti-bandwagon-mainstream-i-ness.
If you read the blog, you will notice that I love to start sentences with and & but. I love fragments. And the infamous ellipses. I think it has purpose...it's kind of the like the saying "I'm jus' sayin' ". No one really knows what it means but when you use it, people just get it.
I am a grammatical Nazi, yet, as I already said, I like to abuse the language. Not because I don't know what's grammatically correct but because it seems more poetic that way. I also like to use atrociously trite phrases like "out of the blue" and "I'm jus' sayin' ". And, no, I do not think they are poetic. This is my admitted flaw.
I have no real theme to the blog. It's pretty random...mostly because I have way too many interests. I love to cook, eat, travel, hang with my fiancee and my family, read, write, photograph, sing, listen to music, and so much more. You are more likely to find me curled up in a blanket, sweatshirt, lazy pants, and a book than watching TV.
I'm extroverted. Or so it seems. I often think I am introverted but no one who knows me would agree. I'm super friendly but often find myself observing than being center of attention. I'm humble (although saying I am humble makes me feel conceited...whatever). I'm happy. Very happy. I have a big family, and I love it. I just got married to a wonderful man named Srin. And we finally decided where we were moving after years of long distance. Welcome to The District, Mamta. The District of Columbia, that is.
Srin is from D-town. Therefore, I have learned about Michigan football, Red Wing hockey, Yzerman's retirement (I even watched it with him--that's love), the Tigers' woes, and the Lions' occasional wins much more than imaginable by a small-town-West-Texas girl.
I work for NASA. I love it. No, I am not an astronaut. Yes, I do get to meet them. I even teach them.
I am an Aggie. And despite our horrendous football decade, I still root for them and always will. WHOOP!
I was deeply saddened when Polaroid announced the end of...well the Polaroid. My first family picture was with a Polaroid camera.
I am sensitive but have thick skin when the joke is about me. I don't cry at movies or at books, but things often give me the goose-bumpies. I have a soft heart and truly care about people.
I want to be a mom more than anything in this world. I want little mamta's and srin's all up in this place.
I read chick-lit, and I have no problem saying it. It's better than chick-flicks.
I like to make up words all of the time and think using the hypen makes it okay. Like mainstream-i-ness. Just sounds and reads better than mainstreaminess. You know?
I like to take care of people. I like to be in control. If given a choice, I will always drive. I am attached to my parents like a shoe to gum. I would do anything for them at any cost. I want my kids to grow up with their grandparents. I grew up with mine. And I wish everyday I could go back for one more minute with them.
I have two nieces and one nephew. And another niece on the way! I have three sisters and one brother. Pritty and I are abnormally close. Daxaben and Pritty are abnormally the same person.
I like to re-read everything I write. Many times. Too many times. It's quite obsessive actually.
That's enough getting-to-know-Mamta time. Thanks for following.
