Its Tag Time apparently

Blogging in this neck of the woods has been highly sporadic.Have I been that busy,you wonder.The answer is no.In fact it is just the opposite.For a while now,I have had too much free time on hand to the extent that I do not know what to do with it.I come to work,I do whatever little official work is there to be done,I read all the blogs,I prepare for some certification exam that I decided to take up,I go to the gym in the evenings and I come home and cook dinner even.And yet sometimes I feel like my head will explode due to the lack of activity of any kind at office.It is so unbelievably quiet and slow out here.

M tagged me with the five-post tag thats been doing the rounds.So here goes nothing.

Post 5 links to 5 of your previously written posts. The posts have to relate to the 5 key words given : family, friend, yourself, your love, anything you like. Tag 5 other friends to do this meme. Try to tag at least 2 new acquaintances (if not, your current blog buddies will do) so that you get to know them each a little bit better.

Family : I don't think I have written too many exclusive posts on my family as such.I have made references to their cricket craze here. And also about something to do with birthdays and the family's take here.

Friends : I have several friends but I am close to only a handful of them. Again I have made passing references here and here and here to my friends from high school and college who are closest to me and mean a lot.

Yourself : Now I know why some of the bloggers I visit regularly called this a vanity tag! Well,a few tidbits about the way I feel about certain things can be found here and here. Something else that I feel strongly about is here. I love this particular post though. It is a whole lot about nothing in particular but there is a lot of me in there! Err....I am not as shallow as I am making myself out to be.So much for vanity!

My love : That would be my dog Lucy and of course the love of my life,M, who makes veggie pizzas with paneer topping from scratch! And also this post about our anniversary celebrations and this really cute post about this one really cute day!

Anything I like : It would have to be this post about my mom's battle with breast cancer and how she overcame all the hurdles with such gusto. She is one special lady and I am so damn proud of her!

And I have to tag 5 people?Most bloggers I know have already done this tag.
So lets see : Maddy,La Vida Loca,just passing by,Su(jpb and Su,you girls need to come out of your self-imposed exiles like soon!) and abhipraya(the new acquaintance that I want to get to know better?!)
