She wanted to be able to cry, when hurt. She wanted to be treated like a girl, if only by him. She wanted it to be known that she was as sensitive as a little child. That she too liked to sing and dance in the rain. She wanted to be like everyone else - normal.
The Seven Deadly Sins

So we all know about the seven deadly sins a.k.a. the capital/cardinal sins. According to the Roman Catholic Church, you are doomed to eternal damnation if you are guilty of any of the following. Enjoy ;)
1.ENVY: The sin of envy is to resent the fact that another person has something that one perceives himself/herself as lacking, and wishes the other person to be deprived of it.
I’m sooo envious of people who are taller than I’m, luckier than I’m, wiser than I’m- the list is endless. Thus guilty, albeit with a slight difference. I don’t wish the other person to be deprived of it, just that I wish I had it too.
2.GREED: A sin of excess, it is basically desire spun out of control. Though generally applied to the acquisition of wealth, it also pertains to wanting more than your fair share and to having expectations of others when you give something to them.
I’m so guilty on this one and unashamedly so. To give, without having any expectations whatsoever??? Not me !! Though yes, I will not resort to manipulation, violence, theft or robbery to satisfy my greed.
3.GLUTTONY: The most delicious of all sins, this is committed when you
Eat before the time of meal in order to satisfy the palate.
Seek delicacies and better quality of food to gratify the “vile sense of taste”. *rolling eyes*
Seek after sauces and seasonings for the enjoyment of the palate.
Exceed the necessary amount of food.
Take food with too much eagerness, even when it is in moderate amounts or of an ordinary nature.
ROFL. Need I say more ? :P
4.SLOTH: Initially considered a sin of sadness or despair, sloth has now come to mean a sin of laziness or indifference, an unwillingness to act/care.

Ahem, if it weren’t for SLOTH, do you really think things like remotes and cell phones would have been invented?
I live a happy and guilt-free slothful life. Period.
5.PRIDE: The deadliest of all sins, this is the mother of all the sins. It is characterized by the desire to be more important than others, an excessive love of self and failing to acknowledge the good work of others.
Pride is the recognition of the fact that you are your own highest value and, like all of man’s values, it has to be earned. Period.
Big time attention seeker but I do acknowledge others’ good work. (Provided, I don’t hate them for some silly reason;), which brings me to the next sin.)
6.WRATH: If pride is the mother, then wrath is the baap of all sins. Described as having inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger, it can ruin families, wreck one’s health, destroy peace of mind, and at its worst, lead to murder, genocide etc.
Been working on this for quite some time now…still a long way to go. :(
7.LUST: The trashy cousin of love. This is committed if you have excessive thoughts or desires of a sexual nature which may lead to sexual addiction, adultery, rape etc.
Yay!!! Finally a sin I’m NOT guilty of. :D Though it might be fun too, of course, provided that it is kept in check and there is mutual consent of the parties involved.
Hmmm…so my score is 6 on 7.
For the first time after so many years, I’m scoring high and yet it does not feel good. ;)
All right, so the vella person that I’m, I took a quiz to find my Sin Quotient and here is what the results showed:

So wrath is the sin that'll do me in!! What's yours ?? :P
It was the pleasant time of early morn,
The day was pristine, yet unborn.
Buds of flowers and droplets of dew,
Were fast asleep under the canvas blue.
The first rays of the sun emerged bright,
Painting the grass green, the clouds white.
The west wind hopped and the birds cried,
Sleeping buds awoke and shyly smiled.
The feeling in my heart was hard to hide,
As i beheld this magic from my bedside.
I sprang up in haste, grabbed this pen,
A few papers in hand, I rushed out my den.
Out in the open now, I began to write,
These verses, describing Nature's might.
In neat stanzas of four and a rhyme scheme,
I decided to limn this beautiful theme.
But with each line I penned, I realized,
The poem depicted nothing of what I'd visualized.
The more I described the grass green,
That much lesser to me it did seem.
I've given up the attempt in hapless frustration,
For aren't words and verses after all, restrictions?
True beauty is best enjoyed wordless, free -
Poems are written only by fools like me!!
