moi
Moi is a lady who claims to be dogmatic but is coherent in her thoughts so don’t go by the blog title. 
I write about everything that interests me.
Why this screen name and blog name? When I started this blog it was supposed to be just me scribbling down my thoughts and stating my opinion. So I chose my blog name as Soliloquies of an Opinionated mind. Little did I know that in just couple of months I would meet such wonderful virtual friends. It is fun to blog hop and read interesting, witty and erudite posts in the blog-o-sphere. Comment interaction is the most exciting aspect of blogs.
Soliloquy means the act of talking to oneself. I shortened Soliloquies and chose Solilo as my screen name. The two recurring characters on my blog are The other half who is my dear husband and Peanut, my little daughter.
If you are reading this then I hope that you read one of my posts too. Do let me know of your arrival through comments or you can mail me at 
and you can also

A reality I believe in ….
I’m nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there’s a pair of us–don’t tell!
They’d banish us, you know.
How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
~Emily Dickinson

I can vouch for this lady and say in all seriousness that I have not come across a more honest soul…one who calls a spade a spade
me: I am on cloud nine.
And you know what they say about being opinionated don’t you?
If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything
Give me an opinionated friend over one who cant make up his/her mind any day
People who are fence sitters spend their entire life sitting on the fence …and that is soo not you
Opinionated people make the world a saner place otherwise we would be constantly witness to indecisiveness
(((hugs)) coz even one sentence says a lot about you
but this moi needs more in your moi section
more please?
me: I added some more. Chalega?
yep
chalega 
daudega bhi
*giggles at her own PJ *
much, much, much more please
or everyone’s comments are going to be longer than the line
*chanting* we want more!!! we want more!!
me: You are so sweet. You know I had comments option off here but Hitchy the devil asked me to enable it as he wanted to write something.
I then thought of revamping it.
geeeeee…. I was the one who prompted this SARDAR SOLILO to enable comments on MOI page… but INDYEAH beats me and puts 4 comments even before I come to know !!!!!
me: Now Sardar Solilo! I feel like Gabbar Singh. Ye haath mujhe de de Hitchy……
these two friends are really luccha’s… they started the fun and I didnt even know… but it aint as much fun without me is it ????
apne muh miya mithu eh !!
well well … this is supposed to be me writing about Solilo Sardar… not about me… geeez… ok ok…
Moi is a lady who claims to be dogmatic but is coherent in her thoughts so don’t go by the blog title.
Absolutely.. the title meant some one sensible… but this is a crazy lady… fights then pats then punches again then lets out the evil laughter… pulls ur leg again patches up and then again traps u….
she is one roller coaster… !!
whilst we do happily disagree on a few things… we both agree that I am smarter, more funnier and more intelligent… right Solilo ??
he he he
me: Ha..ha..ha.. Oye Hitchy! this is not your ‘About me’.
haan hann DhirenBhaiit wasnt fun without you
aww…. Indi… I knew you would acknowledge… how I hoped Sililo Sardar would also follow suite… !!!
me: You mean like Indy I should call you bhai too? Okay then Dhiren bhai.
I was talking about acknowledging the fun you have with me… !!! grrr….
LoL! Dhiren. I didn’t expect you to be away for long.
Yours and Solilo’s are too funny. BUT as we’re all aware, Solilo kicks your ass. 
me: Ha..ha..ha.. Badz, did I tell you that you are my favorite commenter now.
More seriously thought I must agree… I myself also cannot believe the wonderful friends I have made in this virtual world… I cant believe that people I havent met have become such an integral part of my life… !!!
You too are an integral part of my life Solilo Sardar !! btw Mandu called you Silililo today !!!! if you dont believe me go check her blog !
Bhagooooooo….
me: My screen name is ruined. One adds too many LOLs to my name and makes it Solilololololol and now Sililo.
Of all the screen names in the world I had to choose a tongue twister.
Solilo sardar ye aapke naam ka kya kar diya?
boliye kitnon ko khallas karun?
me: As long as I am Sardar..I am good. Imagine if I was called henchman then my boss would ask ‘Kitne aadmi the‘.
Now, with the jokes aside, I’ve only known you for a few weeks BUT have became VERY FOND of you.
I love reading your work and you seem like a sweet and genuine person. Glad to have met you in blog world. 
me: Me too Badz. I am fond of you and your comments. Can’t wait for your blog. You are giving Abhi tough competition.
LoL! Yes but Indyeah usually wins. BUT as you can see, I am gradually coming out of my shell. She’s a great teacher on how to give long comments.
*sob!!!!*
Looks to see if Solilo ka pathhar ka dil pighla
*humming dost dost na rahaa
me: Arre…kya hua? What did I do?
GEEEZZZ We all are greedy for long comments… aint we… ??
Yes. And all us bloggers and comenters are generous enough to give them.
Especially Indyeah. 
awww…thanks Badz
*evil grin*
ye tha Indyeah’s emosionaaal blackmail for her sistah!
muah!!(((hugs)))
i’m new with wp, and lil lost about the ping back, which you mentioned in your comment reply. i can’t see any ping when i’m linked. qu’est ce que probleme (my feeble attempt at remembering francaise)? assistez-moi, s’il vous plait.
me: Ummon, When someone links your post, you will get a pingback. For eg: Click One and Done : Is that a crime? then scroll down to the bottom of the page. You can see your link in ‘Trackbacks & Pingbacks’. It is automatically generated.
Other than those 5 words in my Menu bar, I know Zilch French.
ok. i am not seeing that. despite the links
me: You mean on your blog? Because you can see it only if someone links your post.
yes, they did. more than one. even then.
me: Hmm..okay was your post linked or blog linked? If post is linked then it should show a pingback at the bottom of the comments of that particular post. If it is blog that is linked then it won’t show anywhere.
and i’m usually not so tech-challenged **sigh**
Umm,I think I get what you’re saying…u’ll hv to activate the pingbacks and trackbacks for that. Go to settings,click on ‘Discussions’.In the first category, ‘default article settings’,tick on ‘allow link notifications from other blogs’! that wl solve it I guess!
me: @Umm: is that the problem? Then Deeps solved it.
all that was on and done. but doesn’t show. couple of places blog was linked, and a couple the post. but ping doesn’t show. does it only have to be linked in another blog, or even on a regular site?
me: Ummon, Wait let me link a post of yours now to check if there’s a pingback.
i love your blog for it’s frank and honest without pushing things down the readers throats. and i so so enjoy reading abt Peanut. Solilo is a cool name too.. so there’s just abt everything on this blog tht’s quite endearing
me: Gauri, Thank you so much for such kind words. It means a lot.
Sols,tell me something,while blogrolling on your sidebar,does WP update the links as per the latest posts? Or is it better I keep hopping back to blogspot page to see the updates?
me: Deeps, if your blogroll is in your sidebar then try No: 3 here which is in bullets. It will automatically update latest posts.
Havent tried doing it yet as per Chirag’s tip.Thought would clear this doubt with you before doing that.
me: If you have another page for blogroll then try Chirag’s.
thank you hai
…I think I managed to get it right.Just that I was not able to give a common title to my blogroll.I just created a random text widget and gave a title. Any idea if theres another way out??
me: I think that’s the only way.
terrific language and superb posts…
you got some talent…
really..
and is this your other blog??
well i visited this
http://indyeahforever.wordpress.com/
me: Thank you, Arun. That blog you mentioned is my dear friend’s. I have just this one.
hey i found ur avtar here just after putting that silly que there
its lovely.. so i get to see you lil more here
sweetie pie, completely showing off the ring haan!! 
me: Arre it was not intentional. I didn’t even know that husband was clicking this picture. He liked it so I thought of changing the avatar.
I love your name – solilo.. ITS DIFFERENT
.. and yes, I am fond of you and your posts too.
me: Thank you, Tara. You are just so so sweet.
tell us how peanut got her name on the blog?
me: Hmm..actually I don’t know. I like Peanuts comic strip so had that in mind then took ’s’ off.
I like Peanuts comic strip so had that in mind then took ’s’ off.
Soli!!!! really??? coz i thot of that when i first read her nickname!
Peanuts was actually originally meant to be “Lil Folks” but syndicate finalised Peanuts, almost to that effect!
who is Peanut like??? which character??
i think she’s like Sally! Charlie Brown’s Sister!
she whacky, she’s pretty, she’s cute, very sensitive and cracks awesome jokes!!!!
(psst….i secretly wanted to be Sally!!)
me: Whatever you say.
Hey,your new gravatar looks great,Solilo…its nice to get a closer look at you. But I’m blinded by that rock in your hand though
!!
me: Mathi…mathi..
well, was blog hopping and comment-reading and minding my..er…other’s business…when i see this!!!!
so late! very bad for reputation i say!
When I met u, u were Solilo and I was Crafty Shines…
i met u over that cactus post i think….some timee early feb..u were waiting for spring, for tulips in ur garden to bloom….
and by the time tulips bloomed….so did my friendship with u!
me: So poetic.
u are loads of fun! be it posting or commenting! and one of those rare ppl u find, who will put common sense over tradition (borrowed from IHM, this phrase!)
u r headstrong, yet emo, and witty and profound, just like ur best friend Indyeah!! (hugs INDY!)
and ur daughter, Peanut…. she’s a precious little angel!!! with all her quips and questions, knock knock jokes ( u know how i love those), she’s a child as adorable as her mother!
so many posts down, and after some whacky exchange of comments, and unaccountable hugs n muahs n smileys later….
Now, u are Soli and I am Crafty Bachcha
if this is what comes of blogging….i wish everyone discovers it! and discovers u, my sweet sweet soli!
more unaccounted for hugs & muahs!
(i won’t use smiley’s coz they are not cute anymore, and clash with my cute demeanor)
I LOVE U!!!!
me: Crafty, what can I say? I have no words. Thank you and Love you too. You are sweet.
thats a nice pic Sol..
me: Thank you.
need another help,Solilo regarding WP…I keep reading your snippets off and on at the top of your homepage right above your latest post. How do you do that?
For instance you’ve linked shail’s post now on your homepage.
Sorry again for troubling you so much with my sundry queries!
me: Arre Deeps, kya formality. Ask always. What are friends for?
The thing is this Alert box is a feature of Vigilance theme that I use. It is not possible in your WP theme.
le!khoda pahaad nikli chuhiya!!!
me: You mean..digging mountain and finding mouseeeee. Susaaaaad..Susaaaaad..Mausi susaaaaaaad.
Solilo. I love your header.
Your beautiful.
me: Thank you, Badzy. :kiss:
oye!you and I going to be in touch via mails only,is it??Hop over to my page before I give mail you one ‘chutta-peda’,ok ???
me: I prefer Agra ka peda.
Happy Friendship day to you,Solilo
me: So sweet of you, Deeps. Happy friendship day to you too.
Nammu and you are looking gorgeous!
hey,the change of profile is visible?I’m still seeing the old image at my end!
me: Delete your cookies and refresh.
Nandi!Aabhaar!Thankoo!
Happy friendship day, sols
me: So sweet, Masood. Happy friendship day to you too.
Very you. One of the finest bloggers I know, who does not hesitate to say it as it is, and is courteous to boot, while she says it
me: Ushus, you know I am already floating in the heaven since your return and these words are going to make me stay there longer.
The prettiest no nonsense woman I know too
me: Okay I just bought a plot in heaven. Angelic smile with my halo on.
You picture keeps getting more gorgeous
me: Muah Muah Muah {{{{{{{{Hugs}}}}}}} thank you my friend from the bestest gang.
would echo all of Ushus’s words for you:)
Every single one:)
the picture is gorgeous!:)more so the stance ….thinking about something…pondering over life
perhaps?
I heart you Soli !
XOXOXO
me: All that applies to you and Ushus too. This blogging world gave me some perfect friends and you two are really special.
I <3 U XOXO
Nice header.
me: Thank you, Badzy.
Is that you in the pic??
me: The B/W picture next to my intro? Yes! that’s me.
No. I mean in your header. I know the b/w pic is you. I believe I told you that you’re beautiful.
me: It is not me. It is a sketch. It represents me though.
Just wanted to applaud you on your great blog. I came across it in the last several weeks and the posts are so mind catching that I have been checking quite frequently. I also love some of those melodies that you had listed in an archive post. Another post that still stays in my mind is how your little one said that AJ tastes like beer
Keep writing.
me: Welcome Lakshmi! and thanks for the nice words.
Thanks for visiting my blog. I was not sure if you will get notified if I commented there, I am relatively new to the blog world!
My first daughter is 5 years old, just started Kindergarten. Yeah, kids amaze me everyday
How old is peanut?
I left you a link here but probably it went to spam! See my blog for Tharoor’s autograph etc.!
me: I didn’t get any comment. I think WP is restructuring. I read Tharoor’s tweet about JNU. Good for you.
Onam was great… got pics and stuff to share.. maybe in a weeks’ time
Onaasamshakal…
Thanks for the wishes
me: Waiting for the pictures, Ushus. Miss you tons! Muaaaaaaaah
nicely written!!!!
glad to be here…
me: Welcome Alice.
arre!you changed the layout to inov??You were not very keen on it,na because of the header-limitation??It looks good,although the previous one kind of defined you..maybe its a matter of getting used to the change
Good luck
me: I had Vigilance since March so now got a bit bored. So thought of trying iNove and I was enthusiastic about its NEWS sidebar but alas! they scrapped that after some people complained that they can’t work it out. Bah! I mailed support. Hope they bring the feature back. That is the highlight of iNove.
I still think Vigilance is the best. Will revert after some time.
I had been following your blog from several days, but this is first time I am commenting. Actually, I am here to tell you that I really liked your blog. The nice presentation and of course nice choice.
It’s my pleasure to know you like this….
me: Thank you and welcome.
Love this page Solilo! I was going through your ‘pages’ and I don’t think I have seen this one before
Love how you described yourself… ! Followed your instructions and let you know I was here
me: Ha..ha..ha.. IHM, you are funny.
Hey,good to see you ‘vigilant-self’ back

I’ve just finished listening to the ’saghodara song’ that you linked for me..and I’ve message for you there!!
me: You can’t appreciate bunderphool songs?
ha ha ha..LOL @ bunderphool…you are bhheri phunny,saghodari
Good ppl have only good things to say…
(((((((((((((((Hugs honey))))))))))))))))))
you know I am v happy today.. for reasons more than one
me: *blush*
More than one, eh? Tell..tell.
Sols,I dont know how many times I’ve read your interview by now..I’ve lost count.Every time I read it I realize how profound your thoughts are.
me: Thank you, da. You all are just too kind.
‘Blind followers of religion are misled by some miscreants of the society that spread hatred in the name of religion. Hope the deluded bunch and fanatics gets back their “sight” before it is too late.’ I hope so too,Sols. You gave the perfect analogy with reference to the movie.Beautiful!
me: Have you watched Guru? I loved the movie so much.
Here comes some more tight hugs and lots of ummas to you!!
Keep sharing the way you do,Sols
Yes I have..cant remember it much except for the music.It had lovely music.I remember you telling me about it once while chatting.Will pick up the DVD and watch it again,this time with a different perspective
me: That is where I miss-Malayalam music. Most parts I don’t get. Dialogues mostly I understand well and for others I have translators and subtitles. Subtitles ruin music translation.
Yes! do watch it and let me know your take too.
I love this song from the movie particularly..so haunting and soulful!
