Do I have vices?
I am human right?Must be having some vices.I asked my hubby to mention 5 vices I had.
The man answered ,
all is great ,you don’t have vices!
This can only come with great foresight.Imagine what would happen,if he actually gave me a list.That’s something even I don’t believe.So I go searching in the depths of my soul, to find those vices which are disguised as virtues.
Tell me do you think these are vices?
I have a very low boredom threshold.I can go to any extreme to avoid boring conversation and boring people.As a teenager I aced my class tests(not bragging) by pretending to study so much ,that I actually ended up studying.All because I wanted to avoid visiting places and people who irritated me or bored me. I was that bad!I also pretended to be helpful and suggested taking my little sister along.Things came to such a pass ,my sister when she was 13 declared I had no right to volunteer her ,when I was sneaking away!
Sisters!They know how to put you right 🙂
That’s why I always challenge myself to learn new things ,to stop this vice creeping up.
Reading too much
I read anywhere ,everywhere all the time.Everything I am doing ,will do,have done is because I adore words,I was born on a Saraswati Puja day and I believe the Goddess, loves me more because of this.There have been times I have burned rice (in a microwave),charred the boiling milk,left the eggs cooking too long,all because I have read with too much attention.This one is a problem,but one I cant imagine not doing.Its like asking me to stop being me!
Believing in good energy and bad
This may ,make me sound a little off but I am really a believer in the energy emitted by people.If I don’t like the vibes I get from you,then we will not really be growing close.Optimism,sincerity,thankfulness,faith and love are qualities I believe in.Probably that’s why ‘the people who are in my life have those same qualities.My friends from medical college , are still a phone call away.We haven’t met physically in 5 years ,but our minds travel through space and time .Yes I need a checkup.Its a serious vice!
Red lipstick to change lives
Red is the color of love.Its the color of your blood and a passion .Its a bold color which says “look at me”.If I ever feel sad and lonely ,I just put on red lipstick,even at home while cooking lunch. That’s one way of battling the blues.Just put on the RED!That’s why I end up buying red lipstick all the time.
Deeply madly believing in love ,magic
This is impossible to explain.But the only way to get magic and love in your life is to believe in it.I read Mills and Boon as sincerely as I did my school books .Believing one day someone will make everything better.Love is magical .Its Gods way of telling us we are not alone.Two people,however different can feel each others sorrows and joys as deeply as their own.I am a shameless romantic .But the best things in my life has come from believing.If believing in magic is a vice ,its one of my favourite ! Do you believe?

Such vices are like our voices. We hear them and drown in them. Beautiful post.
Thank you
That is a good way to get past all the boredom – get best at everything.
Vices are the worse, It’s hard to stop them at times. This was def a great post
I like how smart your hubby is! Mine would have rattled off a list! :)))))
Red Lipstick is such a pick me up!
I love that you read so much, despite going through Med School :))
Super fun reading this and getting to know the quirky side of you, Amrita!:)
Hee hee med school was crazy intense.Reading other stuff kept me sane.Thanks for reading Mayuri.
I wish I liked to read more. I just end up wasting my time doing other things. Also, I love red lipstick too!
Yes red lipstick is a boon
Gahhh boring conversations are the absolutely worst!!! As hard as you try to avoid them sometimes there is nothing you can do and running is consistent rude. Lol
Very true.
I used to read all the time! Reading too much is definitely a good problem to have! I completely agree with what you said about red lipstick–it’s a game changer!

We agreed then .All women should have atleast 1 red lipstick
This was a great post! It seems healthy and fun to explore our own vices. I, like you, have a very low threshold for boredom and find solace in books. I have so many other vices to explore, I may write a few of my own down.
Wonderful.Books are a nice vice to keep.
I love your vices Amrita, especially the one about Vibes. I feel a connection to ppl viavea vibes too and often felt more and more ppl in my gang are like me now!!
Thanks Shalini.Yes vibes are important
You read and share so we all learn its not bad at all
Thanks Manisha
Research proves that red lipstick makes you feel more powerful and instills a sense of confidence in you. Sending you lots of good vibes!
Thanks
I agree to get love you must believe in it. The law of attraction!!
Yes true
I like people that read with such passion as yours. Nothing creepy, I just get easily distracted!!!
Hee hee thats funny
Awesome vices, Amrita
Thanks Ila
If you ask me the same question, my reply will be same as your hubby.:) Agree we all have vices and we all try to think otherwise. Reading is a good habit and believing in magic is great too. Keep believing and keep spreading your magic.
Thats so sweet Deepa.Thanks for always being kind
In simple words .. it’s MAGICAL. Amazing post, how well you constructed the whole vice thing. It’s like visualizing all what’s writtern. Love to read your posta.
