Scribbled emotions!

Yes or Yes?

2011-09-27T09:51:00.000-07:00

He sat looking at a small sheet of paper in front of him. He remembered the countless number of times, this trick had helped him come out of a dilemma. Because he had figured at a very young age that, deep down, every question had only two answers; either yes or no. From the window close to him his eyes could note the first signs of activity of the day. Instead of registering what his eyes were seeing, his mind was pondering on the thing which had made him get up and sit with a paper, at 5 in the morning. He remembered

the incidents behind every sentence written on one column of the paper; the little snubs; the disappointments; the harsh words and the pointless arguments. He could feel everything as if they were happening right there in front of him. Only after writing had he realized that so many ‘yet-to-be-considered’ thoughts were stuck deep inside his head. .

But it was not like only one column of the paper was filled. There was the other side, filled with little things he felt when talking with her; little things that he wouldn’t tell others; little things he couldn’t name; the same little things that turned the frown on his face into a smile. He took his pen and wrote her name on the side which he’d always known to be the answer. And as if mirroring his thoughts, the fog outside his window cleared to give way to the beautiful blue sky.

P.S. We can always search for reasons for liking/disliking a person. But more often than not, it is an impulsive thing.

The End.

He stood looking at his reflection in the mirror. He looked much older than 43. Wisdom, his followers assumed, was the reason. Cruelty and the pain he’d caused, his enemies claimed, was the reason. He liked to think, that the vast expense of his life that he’d had, was the reason. Without moving from his position, he gave a glance at a painting that he’d hung on his wall, some 3 years back. He’d always wanted to know what others thought of him. This particular painting had been the outcome of not just the artist’s skill, but also his pain and passion towards the people he’d lost. That was the face that a majority of the world associated to his name, but the one looking from a distance of a mere 15 yards was in no measure, as cruel. And he couldn’t help but chuckle at the glass that his ‘supposed’ face was wearing in the painting, because he’d never been a great fan of Mafia shades. He looked back at his life, not because he was proud of it or ashamed of it, but just because he thought it was necessary to do that once in a while. .

Born into a mediocre and poverty ridden family of 8, he experienced school life only until his 5^th grade. He worked at a tea stall for around 5 years before deciding to do something meaningful with his life. He joined the army, at the lowest rank and came through the rigorous routines without much difficulty because of the minimal sophistication in his childhood. As his rank improved, he began to see the cruelties that his country faced on an almost daily basis just because it wasn’t on the developed side of nations. Frustration began to creep into his life, as he was ordered around by foreign leaders like a puppet, particularly because he’d always thought of himself as a leader. He had the skills and he made a decision. .

What followed were headlines and flash news featuring his name. People started taking note of him. Countries started fearing him. On the other side, people started believing in him. His country felt proud of him. Children wanted to turn into him while middle-aged men felt proud calling him their son. There was one woman who felt proud of him and cared for him at the same time. They had met at one of his closest associates’ daughter’s Nikkah. He married her one week later and would never leave her for another woman. His power started to grow, but so did the pain inside him. He couldn’t look at her face after every one of his ‘acts’ even though she insisted that it was alright because that was the choice he had taken. They came after him. They missed him by a whisker, many a time. In the process, they killed her. He hated himself for being the reason for the end of such a beautiful being. He learned to live with it.

He’d grown into such a person, that could actually smile at his life as if he had enjoyed every moment of it. He looked one last time at his face and thought to himself, ‘Catch me, they will, only when there is nothing to be caught!’.

Life and Change.

2011-04-06T10:34:00.000-07:00

He entered an empty class room . He slowly walked to and sat on the place on which he’d spent almost every day of the last four years. He looked at the blackboard which had a few numbers chalked on it. Every memory came before his eyes. Every single one . .

He entered the room , after nervous queries to random people. His shirt was drenched with an insane amount of ‘flop sweat’. Few of the students, who were already there, took note of his arrival with neutral and nervous glances. He was wondering where to sit while making his first steps into his classroom and slowly made up his mind and walked towards the final bench. He had always liked positioning himself in vantage points . .

Now the scene slightly changed. The faces where no longer neutral. They had some expression or some movement in their lips when their eyes registered his arrival. It was almost eight months into college and he had grown a few friends and quite a few people who didn’t like being associated with him. It was one of the last days of the fresher year and people were starting to get a grip of the college life. He looked at the entire class on his entry with his eyes sharing a moment of personal contact with another pair which was taking note of his arrival. .

Next scene: Two and a half years into college, quite a few of his classmates accepted him for what he was and were pretty close to him. It is amazing how people can grow on you and how only a few ‘first impressions’ turn out to be accurate. He was settled in his college life with his circle of friends and they were having a fun time in the class of one of his favourite subjects taught by one of their favorite teachers. .

Next scene: Beginning of final year. College was his home away from home and friends were the family which mattered the most( at least at that point of time). Every teacher had to come to terms with their notorious behaviour but they never had a problem with handling their class because of a few amazingly talented souls. The classes and days flew away . .

Next scene, last few days of college life. He could feel it from the way people glanced at each other. They all knew it would never remain the same. They all knew everything was going to change. The mood was bittersweet because they had never felt that comfortable in each other presence and they all knew it could last only for a few days. .

Today: he had just had his farewell. Photos that will be cried at, were taken in abundance with people who will never fade from his heart. He knew that this wasn’t the last time he would see them all but something told him that this might very well be the last time he saw them all ‘TOGETHER’. He wiped off the tiny drops of tears from his eyes and got up to leave. .

Some gentleman told that ‘Change is the only constant and hanging on is the only sin’. Well, forgive me for sinning because I want to hang on to my college life, even if it is with the tiniest of threads.

The first Woman of his life

2011-03-08T08:52:00.000-08:00

It was 6 .05 in the morning. It was his 54^th birthday. He was looking at the woman who was the reason for his existence. She was sleeping at the bed near the window of her room and it was evident to anyone who cared to note, that the breathing was not with ease. It had become a struggle; the past few months.

He suddenly remembered all those times when she was the one who would wake him up, this day of the year, to make him feel special at least for a moment or two, before he went back to living the life he hated. Her little attempts at making him feel proud for the person he was; her boasting to her friends and colleagues about what a good son he was. She’d lost her husband, a year after giving birth to their only son, to a bike accident. He had never understood the meaning of the word ‘Dad’. He had, in fact, never bothered to understand it. It was because of his wonderful mother who was everyone he wanted, to go through in life. Brought up in a society where marks and economic status were considered as yardsticks for judging the quality of one’s life as an adolescent and an adult, he had never felt at home among the forerunners. He was not intimidated by them but he just couldn’t fathom the lives of ‘man-machines ‘, that thought a six digit salary was the benchmark of happiness. He remembered all the little chats they had, deep into the evenings about the most trivial things in life. She was the one who gave him his principles and he’d always felt thankful to her for developing him into a morally stable person. He remembered all those incidents when he would have realised a bit too late, the one or two drops of tears that dripped out of his eyes just thinking about the struggle that her life had been.

It was a feeling of déjà vu when he felt the moisture across his cheeks and realised that the clock had struck seven. He walked up to her and whispered in her ear, ‘Love you Mom!’ and kissed her in her forehead. That was all he needed, to look forward to one more year of the life he hated.

Epiphany

2011-01-10T09:43:00.001-08:00

He was finally at peace. With her by his side, where he
knew she always belonged. Nothing could compare with the
serenity and contented glow she always managed to bring
him. The past made him shudder. There had been so many
times when she had been so close and yet so far from him.
He shuddered, remembering the days he’d woken up in the
middle of the night, snapping out of yet another dream about
the hand which was always in sight, but was never his to
hold. He still had trouble believing that this wasn’t another
one of those dreams...

He’d always been the guy who was around to help her when there was anything bothering her from spats with her boyfriend to arguments with her friends or family.. he was always around, listening to her prattle on about everything under the sun. Yet he was certain that she wouldn’t have been as carefree with him, if she could look through his eyes and see what he saw when he looked at her.. He’d liked her from the first day they spoke to each other, and he liked the person he was, when he was around her. Then one day, she told him about the other guy in the picture. It broke his heart, but he could never bring up the courage to stop talking to her. He had a heart brimming with love, and he knew who he wanted to give it to, but he wasn’t sure if she’d ever want to accept it. He never considered telling her the way he felt; He was afraid, afraid that he’d confuse the already confused person that she was! On the many occasions she’d come to him crying and ranting about the feuds she had with the other guy, he had to grit his teeth to stop himself from pouring out his feelings. He knew she deserved someone much better, someone who understood, appreciated and loved every fibre of her being… and all he wanted was to be given a chance to be that guy! She treated him as the closest of close friends, yet he could never see her as just a friend. He knew that she was THE one… Then one day she came running to him with heart-stopping news..she’d broken up with the other guy. He was appalled at how she was taking it... She lost her characteristic sunny and cheerful manner. Even on the rare occasions that he got her to smile; he could see the muted pain deep in her eyes. He became the wall for her to lean on during those tough times. He was always there, to wipe her tears, to soothe her when she woke up out of a nightmare and to help ease the pain, to make her smile and to tell her that everything would be okay. He forgot all about his own hopes and feelings, all he wanted was for her to smile and be happy again.. Slowly he felt her healing and getting back to normal. But everything changed the day she slipped her hand into his, looked at him with shining eyes, and said, ‘I finally know what I want. It’s been right in front of me all along!’

P.S : Edited by someone with a far better grasp over the language than me ;) And the scenario was hers for me to paint :)

Homecoming

2010-12-05T10:14:00.000-08:00

He got down from the bus, taking in the surroundings ever so slowly. The places where he'd so often forgot that time moved; the places where he'd come running to, when he felt low; the places which had seen his extreme emotions. He felt complete, after such a long time. It was as if he had left a part of him behind there, just so that he wouldn't forget the boy he was. It had been a long time since he last kept his foot on this land. It was so serene and peaceful, as if nothing had happened; nothing had changed. Yet, there he was, a completely different person coming back for something he had left behind. He was walking at a steady pace now, reminiscing about the day he had decided it was time. .

His life had been a mess. He was regularly having bouts of depression. He had started to question his place, in the life of others surrounding him. He started to feel like an alien among the closest of his friends. He was wondering whether he was doing what he loved. It was she, who'd told him to 'walk a different road'. When others started to hate his presence, she had felt obliged to comfort him. He still couldn't forget how beautiful she was. Those brown/black eyes; her petite nose, which made a mockery out of the sharpest of lines, when looked at from the sides; her lips, which could slither into a smile with such ease ; her ears, which had all those different angles and curves which no geometry could get close to defining; the curly lots of her hair that he loved twirling onto his fingers. He had missed her the most, of all the things when he had tried to start a new life at a new place. She hated to see him become silent and moody. All he had to do was, to talk to her and everything went back to normal. It was like, she had this power to adsorb all the resentment out of him. He had never known a woman could be so comforting because he had lost his mother at a very early stage in his life. And all of a sudden, it had occurred to him that he was starting to smother her, although she had laughed at him when he told her that. He had told her what he wanted to do and he had been their to see the pain in her eyes, when he told her he had to move away for some time. He told her that he would come back and she told him that she would wait for him forever. They had decided they wouldn't communicate with each other, other than in their presence. .

And now, after nearly 9 years he was going back for her. He could still hear her words that were spoken that day; her awkward attempt at being cheerful even though she felt more sad than she could've ever imagined. He was almost there now. A mere five yards separated him from the door he'd so often dreamt of knocking, in his dreams. He felt a hand on his shoulder. A whisper in his ear : 'Forever, is not as long as it sounds' . .

Compromise

2010-09-30T10:38:00.000-07:00

It was 11:59 pm. He never really liked being called at that hour and his close ones knew it. He was waiting for their texts, nevertheless. He had grown to expect their texts. There were a lot of people, who made it a point to be the earlier ones to wish him. When he was an adolescent, he even felt proud about having people who took the trouble to stay awake just to wish him. Tick by tick, the second hand, the minute hand and most importantly, the hour hand were all moving towards the mark. It was 12 am. It was 12.01, when he didn't even allow the vibrations to complete, before picking his phone to see who'd managed to wish him first this year. It was actually a number, rather than a name, and he glanced at the words that were typed after a considerable amount of thought.

Happy Birthday Buddy. Hope you remember Me.

Now he got back to the number. He had changed to a new phone a couple of years back and he happened to delete a few of his 'old' contacts. But he needed no name to identify this person. There are certain things that get etched into a part of your mind, that never forgets, and for him this was one of them. The irony struck him instantly. He'd wished that he could forget him but he'd never really been able to. .

It was the first year of college. Aadithya was someone adept at blending into any crowd. He had no problem finding friends. People who made him feel comfortable at that new place and people, who he'd thought he could turn to, when he was at trouble. But he always managed to realize the hard way that, people were never what they appeared to be. Few of them , who had no shame in using him and few others, who acted like they were true friends. But not all were bad. He managed to find a few true ones as well. The ones that were still in touch with him. The ones that still made him miss college. One of them, was Sathya. Sathya was never taken to be a friendly person. People hardly liked him, before knowing him. Aadithya felt no different. For someone really delicate in the inside, Sathya had this rough and tough swagger about him. He was not openly rude to others but people managed to get on his nerves, a bit too easily. But Aadi managed to see right through him. He became close to him and started to trust him. Getting Sathya to trust him, was totally different. Even after 3 or 4 years he wasn't sure if Sathya liked him as a friend. Time took care of the differences in their character. It made them accept each other for what they were. After all, jigsaw pieces which fit together, don't always look alike. They did have their occasional misunderstandings which had gotten more infrequent and hurting over time. But one of them eventually gave in. Except for once. It had all started with a stupid argument that seemed to have no end. Both of them had refused to come out of their perspective. .

Ever so slowly, he looked at his watch. It was 12.10 am. Almost 5 years traversed through in 10 minutes! Although he managed to get more friends, Aadi couldn't deny the fact that he missed Sathya at times. He missed his mere presence which felt so comforting. He'd always considered Sathya as an elder brother he never wanted to miss. Even before he could realize it, his fingers had typed the text and were collectively waiting for one among themselves to press the Send button, which his thumb eventually did, at 12.20.

Bharath :

He was the kind that stood out in a crowd. Not for his looks; It was his attitude and mental presence that made p eople take notice of him. He had this knack of making people like him, if he wanted them to. And he had this weird obsession of wanting everyone to like him the way he was. He also liked people so easily, that he ended up hurting himself, because of his expectations . .

He liked her the instant he saw her. Asked later, he couldn’t remember what exactly was going through his mind, when he saw her. He felt there was something intriguing about the way she looked at him. He couldn’t be sure of whether she liked him or whether she despised him or whether she looked at him like every other guy. When he saw her smiling at her friends, he wanted to be lucky enough someday to have her smile at him like that. When he saw her talking to a guy, he wanted to switch lives with him for that single instant. He wanted to be the person she thought when getting up from and going back to sleep. He knew he was being silly with all his wishes but he just couldn’t control how his mind yearned towards her. He was amazed by how comfortable their eyes had gotten over time. But the confusion still remained. He did not want to turn into someone who disgusted her. He’d plan for days about talking to her but would be too circumspect about talking. He wished he could find out how she felt about him but he told himself that that could be found out only the hard way, by getting to know her.

Deepthi :

She kept to herself. She was not exactly anti-social but had difficulties liking people instantly. She detested attention even if it was positive. But she never was able to be harsh to people even if she hated them. But even though she kept to herself, people recognised her because of her looks. Her mouth didn’t have to tell others if she was angry or happy. It was pretty apparent from her face. Only one person had trouble reading them and she had no idea of telling him that as well . .

She normally didn’t look out for people when she walked. She was always lingering in the silent world of hers. But one face was becoming particularly redundant. She had thought he’d stop looking just like the other guys eventually did. But there was something about him that was different. Probably the way he looked at her. He was not casual about her and he was so bad at acting like he was casual.Without even knowing it, she caught his eye more often than she’d have wanted. It was like he was searching for someone deep inside her eyes. She felt special when he looked at her like that. But she wasn’t so sure whether she liked this complete-stranger who never talked. She’d have been better off ignoring him like the other guys. But deep inside her, she felt this was the guy that the girl inside her would love to talk to. She wanted to know what was so special about her. She wanted to know if he was like the others. She wanted to know ‘him’ and surprisingly, she wanted him to know her. .

P.S: Some stories are better left incomplete. I want each of you to imagine their future in your own way rather than me telling it.

Life doesn't care to stop!

2010-09-11T19:54:00.000-07:00

September 9,2007 :

I remember walking, no actually running, up to the boarding point for my bus filled with a few nervous individuals and 2 or 3 groups of 4-5 students. First day didn't turn out to be much of a thrill but it was definitely a change in the routine for us all, for we had been waiting for nearly 4 months for life to move on from the boring summer!

September 9,2010 :

Now I was one of the students in one of the groups. Whenever i see a nervy junior i still remember how tensed i used to feel and it all comes back to me!

The past three years :

Being someone who found it hard to make friends easily, i did find the going difficult initially. Days when i used to look into nothing in particular, just reminiscing my school. It is amazing how when you miss someone or something, it is only the good things about them that keep pestering your mind. It was not like i loved High school from day one! And then things started to change. New friends getting ac

quainted, old friends trying to keep in touch, although only a few very dear ones last through this ordeal. I still find it amusing when a group of freshers get along so easily that they could have been friends for years. Life started to gain its pace. There were a lot of 'firsts' to be experienced. First hour bunked, first crush, first really embarr

assing moment and a lot of others. Out of nowhere we were bunking 2-3 hours a day, playing soccer in the ground and walking to the buses with ou

r heads held high as if we had just represented the college team. I still remember one such day when we had been playing and the Chemistry sir had caught up to someone in my class and asked him what we were up to! The answer the guy

gave still has me laughing. We were attending an '

AIDS awareness camp' apparently! And slowly the new friends started becoming THE friends while the weaker bonds among the old ones started breaking. . .

The soccer part will probably be one of the best memories i will have of college life. There definitely are other memories too! The Industrial visit to Kerala, driving to Rahman's concert happening in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night and returning later than that, cheering CSK with close friends,

the NCC camp in Salem, getting ODs for pointless bunking of classes, late night outings to theaters, sleep overs, Symposiums and the Saree-clad girls i liked looking at, rushing to treats and personally, always being late, football in Bessy,Sister's reception and the list keeps going. .

Today :

And in a few months, all this will be something i can only think about! I am sure most of us will be out of touch in no time, although i hope i turn out to be totally wrong!

I'd have never thought i'd miss SVCE. And actually, it is true in a way. Am not going to miss SVCE in any way. Am going to miss the friends and if there are any, enemies, i earned in SVCE along with the countless memories i have of them!

The beautiful game!

2010-06-17T09:40:00.001-07:00

Growing up in India had me loving a sport more than anything else. Cricket. There were nights spent banging the ball i had tied up in a sock, inspired by Rahul doing the same in a Coke ad. Although i can laugh now at my attempts being futile, i did try my hand at becoming a professional, like every other Indian child. My friends and parents know the lengths i went, to follow the game i loved. But sadly, my love for the game has dwindled over the past few years. Although not the sole reason, one of the prominent reasons will have to be, a completely different sport,played with the same number of players in either team.

The beautiful game , indeed! Soccer. It probably started with the pc games i used to play, shooting in 5-goals-per-game using a certain Henry or Zidane. As i grew up, so did my passion for a game, which ought to be loved by anyone who understands it! IS there any better feeling for a midfielder than to see an amazing long ball converted! Is there any better feeling for a striker, than to strike with a perfect volley! Is there any better feeling for a defender, than to win the ball with a perfect tackle! None, on all three counts, i should say.

Week in and week out, players wrestle it out in the name of domestic rivalries and cups. But when it comes to the World cup, they forget their domestic standings and go out and play in their national colours, as proudly as ever. Different styles of play appeal to different groups of people : The ever so flowing game of Spain and Brazil,Argentina; The irritatingly defensive but effective play of Italy ; the total football played by Netherlands and the list could go on. I should admit, as a true fan, that it is irritating when people start to talk as if they know everything about the game only when the worldcup is going on! But no one can help it i guess. Afterall,

‘Football fever is something doctors have found no cure for!’

Beauty

2010-05-28T10:14:00.000-07:00

'There are few things more beautiful than the sight of a woman(or an adolescent girl) turning scarlet'!

There is definitely an incident behind this. I just wanted to remember it. So thought i'd make a post :)

The Crush

2010-05-18T05:08:00.001-07:00

He was walking down the road. His mind free of all thoughts. That was when a little drop, ever so slowly, fell on his hand. To him, there were few feelings better then to walk in a slight drizzle. His mom had tried to condemn him from doing that, when he was young, but only in vain. He was walking forward, but ironically his thoughts went back to the day when he first did this. He could still remember his mom’s exact words. ‘ It wouldn’t take much long for me to get there! ‘ She probably didn’t realise then, that this was a kid who wouldn’t budge at the slightest of threats. .

It all came suddenly to him. It was like, what hit him wasn’t a drop , but an avalanche of memories. His mind wasn’t free of thoughts any more. He was thinking of a lot of things, suddenly. too much for his mind to handle. He tried to concentrate on what was causing all the trouble. He couldn’t ! He kept trying. Suddenly his thoughts focussed on one face. It amazed him just how much he loved her eyes. Those tender brown eyes, which had a special toast of naughtiness stored for him every time he saw them. And now it was time for his thoughts to freeze. .

It was some time before he could control his thoughts again, some time before he started walking again. He was wondering what made him get to that state. And then he got that particular memory..

‘He was around 14 then. He had gone over to his cousin’s for his vacation. He had gotten out of the house the moment it started to look like it was going to pour. He went and made himself comfortable on the place where he always sat. It slowly started to drizzle. There was nothing in the world that could give him this exact feeling : Being there all by himself, trying to enjoy nature, for what it was. That was when he had the feeling that he was not alone after all! He didn’t bother. He wasn’t to be disturbed right now! It was his moment of Serenity. And then he heard her voice. It was like, it reached him past all the droplets that were trying to keep him occupied. He couldn’t resist finding the one who was distracting him! Not that he liked it! It was all gone now! The rain was heavier now. Not his favourite part. Slowly, two girls appeared. Slightly drenched. Trying to get some cover, apparently. He started to leave. And just then did he see her face. Those brown eyes. Laughing at this stupid guy who hadn’t cared to move when the rain was lighter. He couldn’t move anymore. . ‘

He never got hold of how he moved from that place that day. Slowly they became friends. Young people who complemented each other like the Sun complementing the Clouds. To him, she was never ‘just’ a friend. If there was one thing he wanted take to his grave,it was her eyes. Somewhere down there, he told her how he felt about her. She was the only person who he confided in, everything. Life was never the same after that . . .

All those thoughts made him ‘smile’ all through his way. It was 8 years since then. He was still walking when a slight nudge on his shoulders made him stop. He turned, only to look at the brown eyes he’d never stop looking at!

P.S : Some crushes vanish in an instant as if they never happened, but some do last LONG!

The Beautiful Mind

2010-04-13T01:40:00.000-07:00

The mind is man's prodigious ally,

And also his mightiest foe.

An ally, whence he is in trouble,

A foe, whence he is ecstatic.

It can sketch paintings of its own:

Pleasant and sickening.

The pleasant ones keep us hopeful,

but can be misleading.

The Sickening ones keep us grounded,

but can be shattering, to our hopes.

Is there anything more beautiful,

than the Beautiful Mind!

Tears!

2010-03-28T21:09:00.001-07:00

Tiny globules of liquid, they are.

Burdened with one's feelings and emotions ;

Feelings of unbearable pain,unbounded joy ;

Feelings of eternal glory, everlasting despair;

Feelings of separation;Feelings of union;

Feelings of birth;Feelings of death;

Feelings of Love; Feelings of Hate;

Sometimes they just have to trickle down,

No matter, who you are!

My Last few hours as a Teenager.

2010-03-28T07:33:00.001-07:00

Ah! So finally the day has to come, when i can no longer call myself a teenager. Looking back, it only makes me wonder what lies ahead. So i make this post, in dedication to the people who've always backed me up : my friends and my parents. Now to the interesting part: I wanted to put in words, the things(not exactly in one or two cases) which i found irresistible ( or finding) at some point or the other, in these twenty years. It is just my opinion and comments are welcome!

1. 'The opposite sex': I had this close friend of mine calling me a 'Casanova' once. No, am not that bad, but i honestly feel that i should fall under the category of guys, who need just a smile to get a crush. No offense intended to all the girls, but that's me being me. If there is one thing i wanted to change about myself, it'd be to get a stronger resolve!

2. Friends : It really is amazing, how a bunch of people can bring out the actual me, so easily. I might have only a handful of people whom i can call my close friends, but they make it up for the number being small. People, who i consider my close ones, really know how much they matter to me, so i don't think i have to tell them explicitly.I wish i've done enough to deserve them.

3.Being lavish : For a middle class guy, i am extraordinarily lavish! Ask my friends, they'll agree. Ask my Dad, he'll probably write a book on it. Ask me, I'll honestly admit. Another change i want on me is to not be lavish when I am actually not financially independent. All the Gadgets i've bought(and lost) over the years have to fall under this category :P

4. People who like me : Now, this is actually a tricky choice. There are people, who can act like they like you, without actually liking you. But i think i can tell the difference more often than not! And the people who are actually honest about this, are worth living for! It is the simple reason, a child might give, for thriving in a particular subject while performing miserably in the rest. These people are to be blamed, if i project myself as an uber-confident person. But their words are the ones which ring in my ears, when i feel very inferior to my surroundings.

I think this should do! If it was too boring, i apologize. I thought it was high time i posted something in my blog.

What it can do!

Actually this is in dedication to a friend of mine, as i had promised him. I may not do enough justice, but nevertheless, I'll try.

' There are two kinds of guys, to my knowledge. The ones who yearn to find their soul mate and the others who leave it to the hands of time. People who know me, know which side of the coin i represent. A very close friend of mine, belonged to the latter type. But he wasn’t one who hated the opposite sex. He did have his moments in school. But he never spent 90 % of his time talking about a girl/girls. I wouldn’t have bet my money on him changing himself over time. But that is what that 4 letter word is capable of , right! It makes the impossible, happen. Actually i don’t know whether something can be called ‘that’ at this age but knowing my friend, i think i should go by his word. He has been let down by her in all possible manner, but this guy is hands up for the phase ‘keep trying’. Now that i come to think of it,i am actually reminded of the character ‘Jacob Black’ from the twilight series when i think of what he’s going through. I only wish he succeeds in enduring this ordeal..Because if he doesn’t, i can see him getting hurt beyond imagination.’

Life and the Ride.

2009-11-22T10:11:00.001-08:00

The road was almost empty. I could feel the urge to drive her crazy! No offence, but am referring to my bike. The blood was rushing into my forearms asking me to open throttle to the maximum. It was actually a fly over i was riding on,so the wind wouldn’t stop me from wanting to do the same. But i decided to take it slow. I am always glad when i am in some place which can be considered as a vantage point to its surroundings. And i never really like it when i can feel my bike strain under the acceleration i give it. So there i was,going in the optimum speed that she loved moving in. And suddenly a thought occurred to me.

How simple and enjoyable driving around the city can be,if the roads were this empty and the sight was clear. The air,if not completely polluted,is sweet when it gushes into whatever place it can find in our face. It makes life seem so simple.It gives you a moment of serenity to ponder on things. How easy life would be,if it had none of the twists and turns!How easy it’d be if there is no one blaring at you to keep moving! But take my word,it can be boring like that. How it’d be to wake up and see a winner in the mirror everyday in the morning. After two days,i’d want to lose. Because losing gives all the more value to winning. And for winning you need competition. More than that,Life could be boring without all its twists and turns.

And bored i was.. When all those philosophical thoughts creped into my head. We got to live the hard way right. Traffic,here i come!

A week To remember!

2009-10-16T12:31:00.000-07:00

At the start of the week,i probably couldn't have asked for more! And by week,i mean the 7 days from last Friday till 23 minutes ago!It has been one week i probably won’t forget for a very long time to come! Let me go back through it!

It was 9 in the morning! I got up ever so lazily,with the sun already glancing at me with a hint of jealousy from up there in his position,through whatever gap my window would allow. I had decided to bunk that day due to the various commitments that i had and of course,there was the annual day that was to come,later that day.But nothing went the way,i had thought it would! But there was more than that! While i was driving through the roads which have seen much of me from my childhood,i got to see the mam who is the reason behind my love for math.I followed her car,only to be greeted by her in the most familiar way of hers and it was no surprising that she remembered me! I am always a bit haughty of the fact that,my teachers can never forget me !Not with the name i have;) Anyways it was good to see her after such a long time! Back to my ‘commitments’ now! When i returned home,relieved of my commitments i was a bit pissed at my clock which showed 6.30! I was supposed to go to an annual day! I started in a hurry only to reach my school at 7.00. And then,time flew by like anything!! Once i get into those corridors,i forget everything about my present! It’s like i was having a long forgotten dream! I wouldn’t forget the minutes i spent that day ,chatting inside my higher secondary class rooms for many days to come!And then we went to our school terrace. And spoke of the things i miss so much in life…….

Saturday was special of course!It was special for reasons i don’t want to publicize,but my close buddies already know the reason:) Anyways let’s go to Sunday now..

It was around 1.00 in the afternoon when i was walking the straight road to ma friends’ place in Porur.Some 2 hours went by and we started on the long drive to some place called ‘Seyyur’.Travelling with friends is always amazing and that day was no exception! We finally reached the place around 6 30 only to find the place flooded with traffic.It was worth it though!When we got settled,at around 7.00,there was the man,himself!You wouldn’t believe it when i say,he’s the one who got 2 Oscars in the same night!And then what else to expect,but MAGIC! Not 1 or 2 but 4 hours of magic.You never know,what music is capable of!And when it comes from somewhere near ARR, you can have no idea!Am not getting very much into what he sang and stuff.Because,regardless of what he sings or who others are present,Rahman’s capable of making the clock stop ticking!We came home around 3 only to get up 7 to get ready to college:((

Saturday,Monday and Wednesday were all special for the same reason!The one reason which makes this week all the more special for me!

And the week couldn’t have ended on a better note!This is the first time ever,that i am surprising a friend on his Birthday! It ended up as a ‘no’ surprise because of me being late( a habit of mine these days!) but it was special nevertheless!

I almost forgot! Nia celebrated her first Birthday this week too.

And guys,HAPPY DIWALI!

Nowhere to go????

2009-08-29T04:06:00.000-07:00

It's been sometime since my last post..Fair enough,i haven't had anything interesting in life( not entirely true though,some days were interesting but for reasons i wouldn't blog;) ) I actually don't get too many topics these days. Am i undergoing a process of 'change' as person?? Now,coming to life currently, i have this 'I don't know where i am going' feeling all over my head. I mean there are a few in this side who i hear saying 'Dude, I've joined this GRE course.Looks like it is gonna be fun' and there is this other side where i hear few others saying 'CAT is good for people like us'. And there was this lecture this past week i attended, where a professor from IIT asked us to give GATE a try. Now that, did bring a bit of brightness into my dull life but the thing is i must thoroughly decide what i want to do. IT is surely not an interesting path as of now. But the question to which i must find an answer is,will i be able to do well in GATE. And to people who are still thinking SVCE is one heaven of a college, times have changed,sadly! My college is trying to bring in all these rules which most of the other colleges have, which i describe with the adjective silly. So life's boring and i am waiting for september 7th to lift my spirits;);)

'Cup kahinn tho janna padega'!!

2009-06-14T13:05:00.000-07:00

I am one 'angry' fan as of now!

We have the best team that could possibly have put up a title defense,thanks to the IPL. But now, I feel like an idiot,having hoped that this team would bring the cup back.'Cup kahin tho jaanna padega'!All that potential on paper,that could blow off any opposition on its day.It's only sad that,we got our 'day' only in the practice match,against Pakistan.I would've been happy,if we had been gracious in defeat,at least,like Ireland,for instance.God knows what they could've done with a squad like ours!And am still wondering why i don't remember any 'short pitch stuff' planned on Raina in the IPL,when he's pathetically weak when the ball's directed towards his head.And i guess,Viru must be one happy man now.I still don't know if his injury is real or not,but i bet he would've done better against the short pitch stuff!And Dhoni. He's in the action during the matches alright.But sadly,more of that action is during the breaks,in the ads!I know its bad to praise a man when he wins and loathe him when he fails,still,i always thought Dhoni was overrated in everything he did.

But if there is on player who am happy about,it is Yuvi.He did show us his class,which he has in abundance.

To the best person on Earth!!

2009-05-10T21:13:00.000-07:00

If it weren't for her,
We wouldn't be here.
She struggled for three hundred odd days,
just to see our tiny face.
We knew her first,
she made us know the rest.
She fought most part of her life,
just for us to have a good life.
If we don't repay it,
we're probably not worth her.
When we're happy,
she'll be there.
When we're in trouble
she'll still be there.
But when she's not there,
we'll be staring nowhere.
To my own mother,
And all the others',
One special day for a special person worth 365 such days.

Bucket list!!

2009-03-27T10:33:00.000-07:00

It's been sometime since my last post!! What else to blame but,lack of time and topics!!And one reminder that am a football freak,the premier league is reaching its business end!!And it seems it is getting a bit too close for United's liking,but like one of ma friends says,its not as close as it looks!!How much i wish that could be false!!!!I wish it wouldn't be a clean sweep of titles by the Devils this time around..

Coming to normal things now,I've been watching lots of movies lately,apart from being 'addicted' to 'HEROES' TV show. The latest in that list...The Bucket List...I actually wasn't completely aware of the plot until i saw the movie,but downloaded it because of the 2 great actors it casts. And only 2 hours before seeing this one today,i saw 'one flew over the cuckoo's nest' and was indeed impressed by the younger Nicholson.So i decided to sit down and watch this movie,even though a friend of mine had said that it was a slow but meaningful story.It was exactly that.But it left me with one clear idea of what i might try to do in my later days! Am getting my list ready.'Driving a Gallardo', for one!!Ideas ,anyone???

Prisoner Of BIRTH..

2009-01-15T06:16:00.000-08:00

Who isn't???!!! Have you ever thought,how different it'd have been had you been born a couple of seconds before in a completely different hospital??? We always can choose our Destiny,but what we choose is, more often than not,dependent on the people we meet and the way we're brought up!!So that just sums up why i think we're all 'Prisoners of our birth'!!

But,only one's in ma mind right now...And that's Danny Cartwright!!Rings a bell??? If it doesn't,it is the lead character in the book i just completed-'A Prisoner of Birth' by Jeffrey Archer.I have read only one other work of Archer ,namely 'First Among Equals'.It wasn't my genre of interest,but still,i liked it for Archer's narration.Ever since I read about the book's(PoB) release,sometime last year in the papers,i wanted to read this particular work of Archer.And the author himself said that the book could be taken for a modern day 'Count Of Monte Cristo'!Now that's some book i'll never forget in my life(leave alone Edmond Dantes) because it was the first book i ever read(Because it was in my Non detail portions;)). And indeed,i found that most of the plot did match!!

The story starts with Danny being convicted for the murder of Bernie,his best buddy and his lover's only brother!He is put in Belmarsh,the prison,and gets himself acquainted with Nick('Sir Nickholas') and Big Al,his cell mates!!Danny's appeal is rejected even though his lawyer Mr.Alex Redmayne tries his best. The actual murderers,a group of three close friends,escape this time and they start to relax a bit....But there was one thing Nick and Danny had in common,Looks..Most of them in the prison mistook them to be brothers.Suddenly the plot gathers speed as Nick is killed(again due to being mistaken for Danny) before six weeks of his release date.With some assistance from Al with the medical files,Danny walks free as Sir Nicholas while most of his family and friends are still mourning 'his' death.He sees to it that what Nicholas inherited from his grandfather, is safe from the hands of his cunning uncle. He then turns his mind to one thing,'REVENGE'.He plans his every move,but still ends up being on trial again,as everyone realise who he actually is.Once again it is Spencer Craig,the actual killer of Bernie,who makes sure that Danny doesn't succed in getting his revenge with aid from his two other musketeers .Then comes my favorite part of the book,'Redemption'.It actually reminded me why i once was,obsessed with 'John Grisham'.Not only is Danny cleared of his current trial,the old trial is revised again,only for the story to end,how it must!

MaChO!!!

2008-12-25T20:29:00.000-08:00

Bikes are always considered a 'Macho' thing!Although there are a lot of 'the fairer sex' who ride super bikes these days ,you still can't expect a 'rossi a.k.a 46' among them!!When i was wondering,if i could make some post in my blog,yesterday, an R15 'wroom'ed past me and made me decide that the post will,once again,be on biking!!Bikes,always amazed me from my childhood,each having it's own reason! But only some months before ,did i acquaint myself to the technical part of biking!! Anyway,let's forget the technical part in this post.I wanted to decide on, which all will make my 'Ten Favourite Bikes'. Please note that this isn't a rating!!It's just a list of MY ten favourite bikes.And taste ,as always,can differ!!

1.Honda Stunner Cbf 125:

First up,i own this bike!!So,no wonder,it's the first in my list!!And secondly,it's a Honda!!I take great pride in owning this machine and would like to note about its ons n offs!!

Ons: Looks,performance,pickup for a 125cc , N so on!!;)
offs: pretty expensive in its class,Deceptive looks,but not so powerful engine!!

2.Yamaha R15

Bike of the year,if you ask me!!The kind of technology it comes with,can really blow any biker's mind off!!Good looks(but the rear tyre could've been bigger!!),good performance,'very' high price',and a bit low mileage!!

3.Karizma zma:

As an adolescent,i was very much crazy about Hrithik 'hunk' roshan.Actually,i am,still!! And when i saw that ad featuring him,along with this super cool bike,i suddenly found my spirit rising!!Even now,when i see a Karizma,on the road,i can lost rack of the road sometimes!! Excellent looks,powerful engine,standard round performance,decent mileage for its class!!

4.Yamaha FZ16

A sibling to the R15, Fz can be expected to give the same performance,if not more.
Comes with a Stocky muscular look,which is further enhanced by the huge radial rear tyre!!Infact it reminds me of a Batpod!!;)India's first naked street bike!The Lord of the streets is here for everyone to hail!!

5.Yamaha RX100

Remember the slim bike which announced its arrival with its spectacular sound??
It was much ahead of its time!Even now,when i get to ride one,i can't stop myself from doing a wheelie because of the amzing pick up n power it gives!!The mileage could've been better though!!

6.The Bullet:

Should i tell more than that?!! Anyway,having that much power in its belly,it is any biker's dream ride!!I think the Post title suits this more than any other bike!!Any 'macho' gal to drive this one??!! Noway!!

7.Pulsar,the series:
Definitely male,was what the earlier ads had to say about this one.And it was!!But any day,i'd have liked to have the earlier one(i mean the one without the front mask),which enhanced the tank's already huge size!!And it's been a hit with various sections of the indian public,urging Bajaj to release various versions!!When's that 300cc pulsar gonna come roaring!!;)

8.CbZ Original and Extreme:

The Cbz always had something for avid bikers!Awesome pick up,suiting people who 'live life off the edge';) Its looks could've been better but still a good one from Hero Honda complementing Karizma!!

9.TVS Apache:
I just didn't want to add this in this list!But halfway through this post,i remembered those days in my first year of higher secondary school,when this bike was released!I was as crazy as anyone else in the city especially seeing the ad,'It's now or never'.But now am getting a bit bored of Apaches actually!!It's like, everywhere you turn you'll see an Apache!!Not very good looks,but excellent performance i must say with a lot of Vibes at top end speeds!!

10.HonDa FireBlade:

I know it's a Super Bike,but i just love this bike too much,to not include it in this list just because it's a super bike!!It's one of those bikes,with a name as sexy as it looks!And if you'd ask me to name one bike i'd love to ride before i end up in heaven,(ahem am a good boy!!) ,i'd go with this bike for some reason!!One word??: Mindblowing!!

The sEnSaTiOn!!!!

2008-11-22T09:27:00.000-08:00

'I take my position, adrenaline pumping and my pulse rate doubled.
I look deep into the 'long' road ahead.But,is it so long???
With a little press of my finger,12 horses try to leap forward into action,but i tell them,'Not now,you are not yet ready,some other day!!'.Ever so slowly,i start.It doesn't take much time for my hair to get ruffled.I am gaining speed.Not express,but not slow either!!I am getting used to being gaped at by onlookers these days.It's a completely different thing that,they are not gaping at me!.I take fresh air into my lungs(not so fresh though!!).Even before i realize,I've already reached the end of my 'long' road.I get down reluctantly,but its not long before i return back to the same position.I have a feeling of DEJA VU.Wondering what all this is about???I RIDE the SENSATION!!!'

Guess what I've been up to these days??Nothing!!!
Honestly,thanks to Anna university's Dumb 'no, we don't want u to be creative' syllabus,I've been up to 'Nothing' trying to prepare for my semester these days.However,on second thought,there's something else grabbing my attention with ease these days.That's my recently bought BIKE.Comes by the name of Stunner,and as I've tried to explain above,it really IS a Sensation!!A month back i wouldn't have thought I'd get myself a bike,leave alone a new one!!But thanks to one of my friends,i could pester my dad into buying me one!!It must be said that i spend most of my time looking at it in awe,rather than doing 'Nothing'.And in a week,I'd be given the license to abort doing 'Nothing',and take more long drives!!!!;)

Mindblowing!!!

2008-10-16T06:24:00.000-07:00

RAhman's really god!!just listen to d song in the video!!

To DADA ,with LOVE...

2008-10-07T09:54:00.000-07:00

Let's go back precisely 35 years and 91 days..

A little boy,named Saurav Chandidas Ganguly,was born to ,one of the richest men in kolkata.Nicknamed 'maharaja' at that age,he was inspired by his brother into the field of cricket.And arrogance was something present deep within his marrow,perhaps,a little too much.Because many of his fellow players in the St.Xavier's school complained about this trait of his,during his stint as the school skipper.

And NOW after all these years,it is still his 'so called' ATTITUDE towards the game,which is raising many a brow!!But just damn with those people!!This guy did what no other indian captain had did!!India winning overseas no longer remains a vision,it became truth only during his stint!!It's only amusing to think that this is the man who has scored the most runs by an indian after his gritty comeback in South africa.Of course,this guy was not as great as sachin was,but only a few people can be as good a captain as he was!The days when he,along with Wright, made india into what it is,will remain in the heart of any true Indian fan for the rest of his life.Everything started with that dumb Chappell's stint as the coach!Now this all might sound like this guy can never bat,but of course he can!!Ask the ball,whose bat caresses it best,and it'll tell you 'DADA'..And coming to the name,many current players owe their careers to this man!Remember the ad where he used to chant for our country during the period where he was sidelined,it'll remain to be one of the best ever ads i have ever seen or will ever see in ma life.Remembering that ad,it is pretty tough to believe that this guy has all that arrogance.But,honestly,if you ask many of his true fans inlcuding me,we'll accept with a big grin that,it was this ARROGANCE and ATTITUDE of his that all of us love!!We don't want some dravid(no offence to him though!!) shaking hands with say,Ponting..We need a DADA,who'll stare him right in the eye.

Now,let's come to the present.Will the horse last one more RAce???And will it end as THE winner which all of us want it to be?? the answer lies in the next few days!!

Moments when words don't do all the talking!!!

2008-08-23T09:15:00.000-07:00

'JULY 16,2005
It is 4.30 in the morning..I get up,do all the usual stuff and start for my math class!!!As usual i am late,and of course getting in is not a problem when it is Mrs.Malathi taking the class..'NO OFFENSE'..With some wide mouthed yawns in between the clock slowly ticks up to 6.30 n Bang!!,Mam 'calls it a day' in her usual style..I couldn't leave for my house because..My four month long holidays were finally over.

I still remember the day,like it was only yesterday.The excitement,the tension,old re unions,new friends,new surroundings(it's very easy to say that..initially i found it too hard to live in!!) and a whole lot of new things.And the days that were to come,they were even better..Better to the point of making a single tear drift down my cheeks while my lips are twirled into a silly smile,when i think of them..It's funny how even a single bench can make you remember so many things,leave alone people n places!!And time's really quick.When you realize,you are gonna miss something,half of it is already out of your reach..And when people get a chance to live with something they are missing very much,they'll grab it with both hands without even the slightest doubt!!'

The bus gives a jerk and i see places i've been yearning to see for almost a year now,but didn't get a chance to see. I can see the yellow board saying ITALIA clearly even through my moist eyes!!Finally,i was gonna see all those faces I've missed these many days!!I walk the usual way,taking in every yard slowly(don't mind all the exaggeration,i am one of a kind) ..I can picture the track 'tanha dil' inside my head!!How many times have i walked through this same road with a bag over ma shoulders with a coupla friends who were always there for me.Suddenly i feel some boom under my legs n i think to myself,'seems our school has used some awesome sound systems'..But,a few yards later i find that all that 'booms' were due to the cars that were checking their newly installed sound systems..I see a familiar wave!!(i had called ma buddy ashwin to come n give me some company while getting into the school),n i happily take the few steps to school along with him..And the next two hours just flew off!!

And after nearly 25 hours i can still hear all those voices inside my ears and will be able to do so for some days to come..Schooling, is definitely one cherished period of every human being's life!!! I miss ya all friends!!!

Out of the dark, comes the who???

2008-07-26T05:10:00.000-07:00

One month ago, there was a video one of my friends had uploaded into his pod,that all the others seemed very much interested in.Only later did i come to know that it was the trailer of a movie that was supposed to be releasing some twenty days from that day(which was a week ago!!!).Yet,when i heard the movie name i wasn't really interested in anything about it.After all,it was the movie of the super hero i never really liked,let alone the others in the cast.Now after all these days i realize i couldn't have been more mistaken.Because,today morning i got to see the movie along with three friends of mine(two of them were seeing it for the second time,and yet they were on the edge of their seats right through).And that really did make me interested in THE BATMAN.I wouldn't really call it a Super Hero movie though .Guess,what I'd call it??? A Super Villain movie(You must see Ledger saying 'Why so serious' with a wicked smile in his face to get what i mean!!!) .After all that my friend had said about his performance this past week,it really amazes me how a man can appear to be so casual when giving one of the greatest performances ever(Unfortunately his last too!!).Let's hope he gets the Oscar for his 'swan song' of a performance.But,of course he has given good performance earlier which,however would be no match to this.Okay,let's forget the Joker(i really can't).Every one in this cast was really awesome ,playing their part to perfection.I don't want to spoil the story by telling it here,but those who are curious can always ask wiki!!!And to complete the title now,Outta of the dark comes the KNIGHT(i really hope he keeps coming and Joker too!!!)

The Devil's alternative

2008-06-06T03:55:00.000-07:00

'Shche ne vmerla ukraina'

Translated into English,this means 'The Ukraine will live again".What this has to do with my post here,I'll tell you as this post goes.I have been reading 'The Devil's Alternative' by Fredrick Forsyth for nearly three months now,the extent can be explained due to the fact that i was having my college internal exams and the semester exams during this time.But,i started reading it more seriously once my exams had concluded,after May 28th that is.Today i finished it and i felt that Forsyth is one who suited my taste of books.

The story actually can not be summed up in two lines,i guess.It actually starts of with the finding of a castaway,who is later found to be an Ukranian freedom fighter by one of the important characters Andrew drake,by a ship captain.Both of them form a group of four,the other two being the freedom fighter,Kaminsky's friends from Ukraine. They together plan to make some damage to the Russian economy.Meanwhile,Russia faces famine because of a small mistake by two or three officers and badly needs some help from the West.Maxim rudin,the chief of politburo(the governing body of Russia),wants to ask the american president Mathews his help whereas his own comrade,Vishnayev wants to go to war and invade from Europe the food supplies they badly needed.Each of them have their own supporters and Rudin hangs on with his support leading 8 to 4...Somewhere else,the British agent in Russia comes to know of these secrets deep in the heart of the politburo from his youth lover,Valentina.He indirectly lets the American president know whatever he comes to know from his love.The Ukrainians succeed in their ploy of killing Yury Ivanenko,the chief of KGB,and want to make this public once the two Ukrainians who did this are safe in Israel.In another part of the world,the largest tanker ship with a capacity of 100 million tonnes of oil,the FREYA is being built.The Americans and Russians decide to sign the Treaty of Dublin so that Russia gets its badly needed food supply from America.The two killers,who still haven't made their deed public, are arrested for a flight kidnapping charge they committed in their desperation to leave Russia.Maxim rudin comes to know that these two were no ordinary killers and realizes the danger in leaving them free and decides to kill them in the jails of east berlin,were they are being held.Andrew Drake forms another group of seven and decides to do something to get the two prisoners free.He,along with his members,hijack the Freya,which is near the Dutch port to deliver its million tons of oil and makes his demands and threats.Finally,the Americans and the Europeans fail to come up with a plan while Adam Munro has something in mind.He lets the British prime minister,American president and the Politburo chief to know his plan and gets Rudin's assent.Successfully,FREYA is left unscathed and the Ukrainians are killed in their escape and no one in the whole world knew what deed they committed.The story ends with a twist relating to Valentina,which if i mentioned here will spoil the thrill to the reader.

I initially wondered how this many pieces could fit into the same story,but now i must admit,it is the thing which made me love this book.

FINALLY!!!!

Nearly a month of boredom,twenty five days of the 'so called' hard work,some hundred hours of sleep in between,two weeks of anxiety and headache and pressure,and a week of utter nonsense.Finally it's over.It's time to give out a sigh of relief.The consequences,or the results,to be more precise can be thought of later,at least in my case.I am sure most of you figure out what am talking about.But if you haven't done still,it's about my recently concluded annual exam in college(no semester pattern for the first years).What else???Super Kings manage to inch through into the final four in the Indian premier league,but largely due to the excellent start they got in the tournament.Thankfully, i need not worry about killing time in these holidays because of the ongoing IPL and the upcoming EURO 08.And coming to Euro,i am really impressed with the Portuguese line up,which has 'DECO NANI CARVALHO RICARDO' among the others.Wondering why i haven't mentioned the 'so called' player of the decade 'CRistiano Ronaldo'??Well,i loathe him.Anyways now that he's the Portuguese skipper,i must only hope that he does well.The Other sides which my bets are on are GERMANY and NETHERLANDS and of course France and Italy have always done well in this stage.Let us see what happens..
And i got to watch "THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM" starring Jet li and Jackie chan among others.I liked the movie and was amazed by the stunt sequences in the film.But the story line could have been a bit more realistic..

Emotions????

Sometimes, somethings are better left unsaid.Take a look at this...

The Eyes

2008-04-24T04:40:00.000-07:00

Actually,i was bored with 'i did this-i did that' sorta posts and thought I'd try something a bit emotional this time.I had plenty of time to try though,thanks to my so called STUDY HOLIDAYS.I am not sure if it is a good try though....

"Life,was full of questions for him.He always kept wondering,why he was here.The answers kept coming,but their defects, even better. He never talked much,always questioning himself,'why this?' and 'why that?'.It all changed one day,when he found the answers for his infinite queries.The day,which he thought,defined the purpose of his life.Even now,after this many years,he wonders 'how could two white ellipses with circles within them,mean so much' to him.Everything changed that day.Whenever,he wanted to be heard,he was;Whenever,he wanted to be understood,he was.when,he wanted a reply,he got one.
Today,nearly 6 decades later,as he looked into those eyes again,but for one last time,he saw all those moments of joy and sorrow;he thought of the happiness they had shared and the sadness they had divided between themselves,tears of mixed emotions that they had shed.And yet,after these many years,it amazed him how much he loved those eyes of her.As he started to drift into eternity,as he contemplated that this was the last time he would see them,he realized that those were faster than his by seconds....."

It's Sunday evening and i am looking at Ishanth Sharma running in to bowl his first over in the match against Deccan chargers and on any other day i would've been glued to my seat without bothering about what's going on outside the 21 inches,but today isn't any other day,for some reason.I think about the next day ie. about the semester practical exams which i am scheduled to have and my casual attitude towards it.Things aren't going to get any better as far as my preparations are concerned and there is a reason behind it.I look at the clock and it's time for me to make a move.I get up,get started and catch the bus to my destination along with my mom.I get down and move inside just to see what lies ahead in the day:the place is crowded to the core and people are jostling with each other to get in.Now i am in and have to wait till it starts.In the mean time the no. of people keeps increasing and no one really cares if he/she has a place to sit or not.Now it's nearly time and after some Booms in the stage,Vijay athiraj comes running in and does what an anchor usually does when in Chennai,but the people are like "c'mon we're not here to see you, so please move on!!!!!",and finally he does.The One we are waiting for , makes his way to the center of the stage in his usual calm n composed manner and there he is.A.R Rahman is standing right before us,some 50 metre from me and addresses chennai in his lovable mother tongue.While many of us in the crowd are still wondering how someone that great could be this simple,he starts off the proceedings with his own number from Azhagiya Tamizh magan.From then on everything is in fast forward and a number of hit songs of his are sung by himself and many other renowned artists like Hariharan, Madhushree,Karthik,Nithyashree,Neethi Raman(this girl really amazed me with her dual talents),Shankar Mahadevan,Javed ali.The Concert finally comes to an end with 'vande matharam' and it is nearly 10.30 when i am out of the place.On my way back I wonder,'Is this what people call RahMania????'....

The BEautiful game At its BEst..

After trying hard not to dedicate a complete post to Soccer esp. premiership, i have to accept ma failure.Because now that we're reaching the business end of the season,the beautiful game is at its best.So i tell this,football maniacs go on,but others please think twice before doing so.Coming back to the point,I was never in ma life this much associated with this premiership (along with the champions league that is)thing ,but now it doesn't allow me to read nor sleep.I've been long breaking my head whether to be a BLue* or a Red*,but now i must take a decision.Because,both of them are in the semis of Uefa and go on head to head twice in the weeks to come.And this weekend we have a cracker of a contest between League leaders ManU and Arsene wenger's Gunners which could go a long way in deciding who the Champions are.And things aren't looking bad in Champion's league either.Three of the four teams in the semis i will support without any problems with the exception being ManU.But i really liked the way they played against Roma after their skipper's successful comeback after 13 months.I really liked the way Giggs came running n gave him the Traditional arm band which was waiting to go back into its real master's arms.
With the stage set for a number of cracking contests,ManU and Chelsea will be on their Quest for eternal glory this season,now that a FA cup victory is ruled out for both the teams.But now i have decided who am gonna support though:the side which will try n reach its fourth final in five years under rafa.Anything for Steven G.

Excuz me boss,can't you mind your own business????

2008-03-31T09:27:00.000-07:00

Well,that's pretty big for a title,isn't it??? But,after all,something is better than nothing rite??
I haven't posted for nearly a month except that technical one which dealt with Robotics.So,i thought,why not try something out of the routine, for a post.Let's forget Sehwag's triple ton,Chelsea's hard earned victory and Manu's and Ronaldo's awesome run of form.
You always meet different kind of people in your day to day life.And you can classify them into different categories based on what you feel about them.One group which disgusts me is the one which concerns itself with other's business.I am sure every one of us would've experienced such people in life while some of us may or rather might belong to that class. Doing that very rarely can be chucked away in the name of excess care but I've known people who think they're here to guide people around them.This topic came to ma mind today in ma gym when a guy was sorta going around everyone checking whether what they were doing was right or wrong,as if he came to do exactly that.Well,he can do that if he's a close associate of Arnie or Ronnie,which i am sure he's not.
That is just an example.I've known guys in ma school and in college, complaining that this guy talks too much with this girl.That's really absurd.On second thought, may be they oughtta give a damn if they were having an eye for the chick but i really don't think that's the case most of the time.Coz' when you ask them about the girl,they'd be like 'I'd rather die than speaking with her'.
I think i've gonna bit outta bounds myself here.But,lemme tell this,if anyone felt like he was referred to here,please try to change yourself.But being like this is not the end of the world though.You can take heart from the fact that there's a worser class which thinks "I am always Best in whatever i do,and i want others to do it my way".I say this to those 'JUST FUCK OFF'....

It is said that man's brain lets him down in times of crises.Especially, when the weight of saving hundreds of lives rests on his shoulders.Disarming of bombs is one such thing,where a simple mistake will cost us dearly.All said,when we try to come up with a solution ,only one thing comes to mind,ROBOTICS.The mission we are going to engage ourselves with is,forming a troop of robots,which specialize in three different fields,namely: 1. Evacuating the said spot. 2.Detection of bombs. 3.Recognition of the type,disarming and disposal of the bomb.We are planning to concentrate on making a previously designed robot specialize in these feilds over the next few months. A question that remains to be answered is,"why can't humans continue to operate in these fields?",the answers are: 1.A robot does not feel flustered in a crisis. 2.The efficiency can be taken to greater levels. 3.And even if a mission fails,the life of a robot is not as valuable as that of a human. Even then,the most complex electronic or electrical circuit in this universe is a product of man's brain.So,we also have to undertake the job of upgrading the robot's intelligence time and again and hopefully,in the near future,need not operate it manually and let it make its own decisions through Artificial intelligence.

An awesome day.......

2008-03-05T05:58:00.000-08:00

Few of u know what ma orkut profile name is,at this moment ie as i am postin this.....It is "yesterday was gr8,today??even better"...that really has an inner meaning to it....COz,yesterday we,a bunch of guys in the ncc, had to stay in the college coz today was our Ncc day celebrations.....
The fact that i've never got the chance till now to live in hostel,really made it a dream come true for me,and many of the others i suppose.....Honestly,right from ma childhood i've been devoted to ma 2 schools in which i studied to a gr8 extent...i really liked to roam in the corridors alone in the chilly mornings once i reached the school pretty early because of my tutoring timings......But never did i get a chance to stay because of any reasons....coming back to yesterday....we actually were fatigued after hours of practice in the sun for today's event....but then we were allowed to have a break at around 5 and we decided 'twas time to play......and then back to the big hall where we were supposed to sleep......I never really kept track of the time on such an excitin evening,so i hope i am right in saying that we had to go to the mess for our supper at 8 or so....came back at around 9 and i couldn sleep immediately coz the sentry duty between 10 and 12 was assigned to me and one of ma friends...It was really fun chattin in the cool mists of night about how we enjoyed what we were doing.....And then of course i went off ter sleep and we all got up at 5 and had a comic sports drill at half past 5 in the morning....came back took bath and got ready for the stage which had been set....Even if i were to ever forget this day i am sure i would never forget the day which i got the chance to stay in ma college,whch is the day before.....

What was that all about?????

2008-02-10T08:04:00.000-08:00

I am still not completely awake...it's Sunday afternoon and i am sitting up after having a good nap...
It is five and life usually gets irritating for a little period of time when u get up at 5,especially when u think that the weekend is about to end..i think of the excitement of Friday evening,the enjoyment on Saturday and what lies ahead the whole next week, especially giving a thought to the fact that our dreaded unit tests are just looming into reality...What makes matters worse about these little 'assessment tests' is that they are actually nothing to prepare,but u can't go n sit blankly either...
Alrite,when just the thought of it is so sick, y am i talking about it!!.what happened these two days..
Friday's excitement went in a flash after hitting d gym for 2 hours which is completely usual ...Saturday morning actually started at around 10 and afternoon drifted away with me drifting through the pages of 'A GOD IN RUINS' BY LEON URIS...Saturday evening was once again spent in d gym...
Today morning???It actually started with the prospect of a thrilling cricket match on the cards and watching an Indian quickie in Ishanth doing what he did was really awesome...midway through the innings though,i had some things to cut out with a guy who calls himself my BARBER...Then what,came back,had ma lunch while side by side watching the indian reply,in the midst of which i could get ma eyes on two shorts by SAchin ,which will be in the hearts of all cricket lovers for many years to come...and i went off to sleep......Now???? am i still sleeping....i hear ma mom calling for me,but still i don't think am awake to think all this.Now do i get up and all these go through ma mind again....

Cheer's to winners......

2008-02-04T09:08:00.000-08:00

Hooray!!!!....ARSENAL is back on top,leading manu by 2 points.And if it weren't for Tevez's fucking
last minute goal,the lead would've been better...i don't know if am late,but only on saturday did i notice Chelsea's new striker and i saw glimpses of what the pair of Ballack and Anelka could do to defenses in the future......but with regret do i tell that i don't get to watch most of the matches by any of the teams,so it's turned out to the point that i support every team which is likely to stop Manu from successfully defending its title...as far as other things go, i am not acquainted enough about the presidency elections of the U.S to comment on it(under the cover that i am not interested in politics) ,but i was really amazed with what the MESSENGER(MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging) has come up with...it seems mercury was not even close to what the scientists thought it was...funny thing is the scientists made all the guess work after observing just 30% of the planet(i mean the previous time)..Anyways, i know it is easier said than done. Let's hope Mercury doesn shrink to a ball.....And i am petty confused about what M.S.D implied from his Mission-2011 plan,so i am not in a state to comment on it...And after fumbling upon it yesterday in the Library,i've started reading "THE GOD IN RUINS"...hope it's as good as people say it is....Ironically, it has got something to do with the '08 presidential elections in the U.S........

Teh clash of teh titans....

2008-01-31T09:41:00.000-08:00

The stage is set...almost everything is in place...a so called Brave man is about to take the reins from an old war chief for the first time in the Oz....even though the question was asked once before, when the same two sides competed last year around ,in the sub continent,this will be in the minds of the fans till the side defends its title the next time it comes under scrutiny...'Do the Indians really deserve being called champions????'...well,lemme save ma answer for the last....Ironically the tigers might want one more bite in the flesh of the kangarooo....just to show their superiority in this form of the game....I thought the test series was pretty closely competed and both the teams deserved sharing honors, but the results turned out to be otherwise...As we all know,in sports,results defy logic most of the time....i don't want to discuss any tactics here,i think the young Indian side really challenges the likes of Clarke and Hussey when it comes to fielding,which is so unlike the Indians...But there is one chink in the armor now,there is no Yuvraj...that i think will be a huge minus for the indians,let's see how costly his injury turns out to be...BUT,it is time to put discussions and reputations apart,and starting to expect a great clash with the aussies,for the first time in many years now to go as the underdogs in their home soil.....
And as far as ma answer to the question is concerned,"THE INDIANS DESERVE BEING CALLED CHAMPIONS AND THEY'LL HOPEFULLY PROVE IT ONCE AGAIN"......

Teh DAmned thing..

2008-01-17T07:42:00.002-08:00

Even though the number of people who believe in superstition in india is dwindling,i do believe that there are a lot of 'em out there who believe there must be enough insight given to the past so as to let it decide what happens in the present.That according to me is complete Bullshit..Yes,giving an insight to what happened in the past is acceptable,but like everything else, only to an extent...Just because you failed over something in an attempt,it doesn't mean that you must think , no one in their right sense would try to do this again...I'd think that no one in their right sense would stop trying, putting the blame on superstition for their failures..Maybe you'd do well if you think over what went wrong and what should go right this time around without thinking about the right time to start this time or those stuff...i've written some lines to bring into note what i think would explain this situation....

I tried to touch it,to pluck it..
Alas i only got hurt...
Never again will i pluck it..
never will i get hurt...
Momma asks me,
"little boy,don't you like roses??
can you pluck it n give to me???"
Guess what i said???
"momma,roses are a symbol of evil...
It gave me blood when i tried to pluck it"

This is what i call the damned Superstition....All this said,i am sorry that even my own kin and friends believe in this stuff....Atleast i don't......

Life,without its thrill........

2008-01-16T03:39:00.001-08:00

Just yesterday did i get to watch the movie 'NEXT' starring Nicholas cage,after waiting for a long time...The hero has this amazing power of seeing things before 2 minutes of the actual occurring time,except in his lover's(Jessica Beil) case,where he sees them much before they happen..
Well,i did like the film, in spite of the 'fictious' gift that the hero has got from the nature..

And after i had watched the movie,a thought crossed my mind,'What if I had this ability to see things,only two minutes before that is'.Even if it's hypothetical,there's no harm in imagining things,rite????WOw!!!!what a talent that'd turn out to be, You can think over what to do next just by seeing the immediate future,how to propose to a girl for an instance(that's a bit Playboyish!!!!),where to be,what to telll ,actually everything about thatidea amazed me...
But now let's come to the darker side, it's like knowing how the readers will react if this is posted like this. it's like knowing you're gonna die the next instant but can not do anything about it(that's too wierd to think)..Moreover you'll succeed in everything you do.If not everything,at least most of the times you will...That really spoils the thrill of success. Success without failure is like jam without bread,you may like it once,but becoming sick of it is just around the corner.It's like revealing a maze,in spite of the fact that u know what's ahead...
Honestly,Life,without it's thrill,is nothing...

Ten books i enjoyed reading........

2008-01-14T04:03:00.000-08:00

10. The hound of the baskervilles
-sir arthur conan doyle:

This is where the habit book reading started for me...(i had read the count of monte cristo before this,but this was really what directed me towards book reading...).But,this is no reason for me in rating this as one among the ten....Let's get into the story..It is about how SHERLOCK HOLMES discovers the mystery behind the hound which has been haunting the lives of the family of the baskervilles ever since it killed HUGO BASKERVILLE in the seventeenth century.But,as we all know,'no plot is difficult for holmes to reveal',he did it again.If i tell you a single word more than this ,it'd become a spoiler to the book...

9. The Eldest
-Christopher paolini:
This book is one of the books i was waiting so eagerly to read after the success of its predecessors ERAGON,after the impact its story had on me...In this part,Eragon and his dragon Saphira undergo their training under the crippled rider Oromis And it also circles around the life of Ronan,Strong hammer as he begins to be called,and Nasauda,the succesor of her father Ajihad to lead THE VARDEN...But for the twist in the end,when eragon has to meet another rider in the Battle of the burning plains,a totally unexpected one at that, this story didn't amuse me much..But 'twas good enough to be in this list...

8.Children of hurin
-Tolkien

To be honest, i never knew about this book before finding it in ma college library two weeks ago
...I'd have missed it but for its author's name written in bold...It's story line goes beyond the time of the lord of the rings,at a time when Morgoth was the darkest power in the world and Sauron was just his lieutenant..It is about the life of Hurin and how his bloodline vanishes just because of the curse laid upon his kin by Morgoth....It is how Turin,his son,finds everything he does ending the wrong way,being separated from his mother at the age of 8, never to be seen alive again by her..

7. Bourne trilogy
- Robert luldum
An awesome work of action,I'd say. It circles around the life of David webb and his mysterious past as the assassin Jason bourne,which he seems to have lost in the first book of the trilogy,namely Bourne identity...as the trilogy progresses he seems to reveal to himself his past, in the process falling in love with Marie st.jacques but only to lose her at the start of the third part...And he tries to achieve the purpose of him becoming Bourne...

6.Time to kill
- john grisham
The first of the many books to be written by the hands of John grisham, was really a killer...
Empowered with an awesome narration the story circles around the trial of Carl lee hailey,for killing the 2 men who raped his 8 year old daughter,Tonya.He chooses the lawyer,Jake brigance to represent him. And how Jake saves him from being convicted with the simple idea of insanity is the story...

5.Eragon
-Christopher paolini
The predecessor of Eldest, this book was really an eye catcher. This book was which made the then fifteen year old boy paolini popular..
It is about how a boy named Eragon comes to find a dragon egg while hunting only to find out later that he was its so called 'rider'. It later turns that the village story teller Brom can help him in his way to fight against the betrayer of the riders,Galbatorix.Later he has to be parted from his uncle and family because of the dragon and his quest as a rider...In the process he meets the elf ,he keeps seeing in his dreams,Arya and rescues her from the shade,Durza..Later he fights for the warden killing the shade to be called the shadeslayer.
4.Murder of Dr.Roger ackroyd
-agatha christie

This is one story where the narrator turns out to be the killer,hats off to agatha christie for her talents in writing such a wonderful,gripping story.It starts of with the murder of Mrs. Ferrars,a wealthy widow ,rumoured to have murdered her husband..Then the death of Dr.Ackroyd throws some light on her suicide and this story pursues to reveal the way in which the great detective Hercule poirot,with help from Doctor sheppard, finds the murderer who was always near....

3.Harry potter and his adventures...
-j.k rowling

The boy wizard might be thought off as a fascination only for small kids,but i'll tell u, people can never be more mistaken.There are many of my friends who hate the series in spite of having known the popularity of the film just because they thought it was child's play...well,as far the story goes,i don't think i must throw some light on it...Anyways,it is about how the 11 year old boy,Harry potter, who believes to have lost his parents in an accident,finds himself belonging to another world and finds the truth behind his parent's death and tries to withstand the wraith of the dark lord Voldemort with sufficient help from the headmaster of hogwarts,the school of witch craft and wizardry,professor Dumbledore,and his two friends,Ron and Hermoine, only to kill him in the end..
2.The godfather
-Mario puzo
For a person who loved fantasies and larger than life characters,the godfather written by Mario puzo was a real change of course for me..It is an awesome work of drama ,i' d say centered on the Mafia..
This book centers on the Corleone family,one of the five powerful families...It is about how Don Corleone's son Micheal avenges his brother's death and the attack on his father by a Turk,which lead to the former...But this comes only in the later part of the book.Midway it describes the ascent of Corleone into power and also how his first son Sonny deals the situation in the aftermath of the attack on his father,during which he gets killed very badly....At last Corleone dies a natural death while tending his garden but only long after leaving all his powers onto his last son,Micheal's hands.

1.Lord of the rings
-J.r Tolkien
The lord of the rings is the book which i think is,was and will be the best book I've ever read in ma life. When a thousand odd paged book keeps you obsessed with it even while you don't give a damn about what is happening around you,you'd agree with me...It is tale of the one ring ,Sauron forged to control the other 16 rings which he distributed to elves, dwarves and men long before it was taken by Isildur...After many many years it ended up in the hands of bilbo baggins and later frodo baggins, the hobbits. Sauron however knows that this hobbit has the ring and must now be prevented from attaining it,otherwise doom shall fall on all,men and elves and dwarves alike....This can be done only by destroying the ring in the Mount doom ,where it was forged .Aragorn ,the Heir of isildur helps frodo indirectly in doing this by distracting the eyes of sauron,after he had defended the city of Gondor from the onslaught of the Sauron...and many more helped Frodo in his quest,for he was their only hope....

Now these are my lines in tribute of this book

Blind ,are the eyes of humans, who don't observe the beauty of nature.. Blind,are the eyes of readers, who didn care to read the ring lore.

My try at poetry.....

Hmmmm.....I've posted around 28 posts and it is some eight months since i got myself acquainted to the site blogger......But,first of all,i don't think there's any reason for me to forget this....'twas one of ma friends who inspired me in doing this and i've Neva looked back since.....honestly,i thank you,if you are reading this...and once again he has got something up his sleeve to inspire me(don think am trying to imitate you...) if you all want to know who and what am referring to check this out:
http://vinodh90.blogspot.com/
i just completed reading "THE CHILDREN OF HURIN",one more of the awesome works of Tolkien on the middle earth,but it revolves around the ill fate of the kin of Hurin(one of the kings) made to fall on them by Morgoth(mightier than Sauron of "the lord of the rings"..... And i got the idea of writing a poem just about something related to it...forgive me if am not good enough for you to have wasted your time on this....
The Morning is coming.....

Look at yourself,think of the deeds you have done...
Good,bad or whatever they may be...
Think of what made you do them,and what they made to others..
Fair as an elf,you would be if they were good...
Dark as the towers of the north you would be,if they were fully bad...
Don't you dread yourself?? for you are none among both...
What you did were neither good,nor bad were they,completely.....
We have no Morgoth,to choose our fate...
Nor do we have the elf queen MELIAN to save us from the darkness..
What we think decides what we do...
what we do decides what we will be..
Give heed to fear and counsel,
but don't let them take control of you...
Don't flee your friends,at the sight of your mightier enemy,
you might be stabbed on the back by one of them..
Never forget the past or the future,
for they decide what is your present...
Think of all these while seeing yourself at the mirror,
Morning is not far away......

I don't think there should be any need for explaining these lines...this is ma tribute to 'Turin,son of hurin...the victim of fate.......

I post this,knowing that someone, who has been with me for almost a year ,is about to leave me forever in around 2.30 hours....07, as he is popularly known will be missed by quite a few of u,i presume.If you are wondering why i am using this personification,take a look at ma justification: i am sure most of you write dates in ur classworks(i don do!!!!)or whereva for that matter.Have you ever noticed that you do make a mistake in the 'years' column up to mebbe the month January of the new year ends??.That, in itself is a justification of what i am telling.People miss the previous year without really knowing they do.This year had a significance about it in my life...As almost all of ma teachers said "this was one of the most important year of my life" .....But people cannot be more mistaken....I don't think you win it all to win in life....i am sure most of you will agree with this....What marks you scored,what course u have taken,which college do you belong to...to hell with this questions....As far as i am concerned these things neva really oughtta be bothered about....Leave your life to destiny...No one can change it....okie...i am diverting in some other direction...Most of all,i am sure i'll miss my last days in school this year...And of course the board exams,the five month long holidays ( most of my fellow students would've hated it towards the end,but now we do regret it)...the thrill of being ragged,first day of college life..small crushes(of course there are more to come) and many other unsaid things....07 did have its moments of ecstasy and agony in ma life but only time can tell if it was the best year of ma life...and now the time is ten,exactly 2 hours before 08 will be here...Bid adieu o7 and WELCOME 08....

Yesterday morning i was thinking that i'll not be able to see the movie for another ten days or so...i did have a reason for that....but outta nowhere my opportunity came ,when one of ma friends called up n asked "shall we go to the second show"...twas already 8 30 when he asked that and i was like excited at the prospect of going to a second show...i know what ya all are wanting to ask....i usually am not a big fan of Ajith but i'll tell ya all this...Everybody or at least half of them come not to see him in action but one of the greatest movies of the superstar....Nevertheless good performances always oughtta be praised...and ya...Ajith who, in ma point of view already has a royal aura about himself,is even more royal with all those tailor made stuff of his..And there's a car stunt in which he performs some ten rotations on the same place while gunning the police down....and Nayantara is worth mentioned...not for all those hot stuff,but that even she has an aura about her in this film....and the funny thing i thought was,Vishnuvardhan neva really minded Namita ...she comes for some five scenes without any purpose and gets killed finally by the lookalike....(oops sorry for the spoiler)....But the thing was,as everyone knew the story like the back of their hand,it really din help having the same story...Even then my final say is...IT IS WORTH WATCHING...

Livin the past....

I never really got a good topic to post on...this is the reason i give every time after a break,and am afraid,i must do it once again...But,it does me no good if i don't post on a friday night ,that too having a full weekend ahead,which is a rare thing now that my college is going in full fledge....so i thought i'd give it a go,and as i was making ma way to my room i realised that i'd got the topic i had wanted....I took a book yesterday from my college's library and it is about the legendary alexander and it is named as"ALEXANDER :ON TO THE WORLD's END"..but,the unfortunate thing about this is it is the third part of the series,the first two of which i could never find in my library...Nevertheless,i've started to become obsessed with the book.I never really knew why,but i was and am always attracted towards these epic novels.And as everyone else does,i've always wanted to be like one of those royal kings or princes in ma life, say an ARAGORN or a MURTAGH(only people who read these type of novels will know what am referring to).The reason behind this maybe that,the first book i read ,very much enthralled,was ERAGON by the then teenage writer CRISTOPHER PAULINI...and LORD OF THE RINGS was something which i may never forget in my life,i miss those days when i used to sit in the last bench of ma class with the thousand odd pages book kept open before me and never really giving a damn about what the stupid man or lady was saying ,standing some five rows in front of me....But,this time the stakes are high for this book because i've already read which is considered as the greatest fiction of all time by many...and now it's time for me to ride aside the king of kings and LIVE THE PAST WHICH I NEVER SAW...

a three minute movie......

2007-12-01T02:31:00.000-08:00

Some three months ago,i was sittin in front of ma tv watchin hbo ,when i came across the trailer of the movie,the book of which i was waiting to get ma hands on...i was even more agitated to get hold of the book after seein the trailer,coz take ma word for it,the trailer was mind blowing..but,i don't know why,i neva really got near enough to the book to get ma hands on it. And as time went by,i forgot about the book as well as the movie...And during a library hour last week or the one before that,when i was searchin for as interesting book,i found a book which one of ma friends was holding,really interesting.howeva,he refused to give it to me but promised to gimme the dvd of the movie which i mentioned before...and he kept his word,by giving it the next day,but i never really had the time(i am busy u know) to watch it.But that was till yesterday..you know the wonder of having a full weekend being declared as a holiday is that you can do whateva you want on saturday,and think about your duties only on sunday..I got up at around nine today morning,and went about ma routine,and then got hold of the dvd and went straight to ma tv and honestly,i only remember switchin it on.....The movie was as good as i expected it to be,in fact even better.I've uploaded the trailer here,if you'd like to take a look...oops,it seems i've forgot to mention it's name...it's 'THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM'...this time bourne comes home.......(it's as good as it sounds).....

what i'd love to become.......but which is highly improbable..

2007-11-24T07:26:00.000-08:00

I was wonderin today mornin.....what's in this life just to become an engineer and then pursue your pg's and then finally settle in india or abroad and be happy with what you have and once in a year or so meet your friends and something like that.....c'mon people,if this goes on the term ENGINEER' will be used like the term 'laymen, for instance....and what's life without a thrill..but still we cannot go out there and kill people and more often than not stare down at the barrel..... i find most of the heroes life interesting....i mean the film heroes of course........but if i were to pursue their paths,i wouldn be allowed to enter ma house...but what about hollywood heroes....most of the non fictious films i've seen involve the heroes as intelligence officers spotting down the killer or the convict,to be precise(i love the role of tom cruise in the mi sequel)....and even the books i read for instance.....most of the heroes are intelligence officers...i actually came to this conclusion only after completing the book 'THE BURMA LEGACY" by geoffrey archer....(the spelling of the author is as given in the book)....it is about how the hero_sam packer,another intelligence officer of cource,tracks down a drug dealer by the name of jimmy squires...and when i say thrill i mean it....but,obviously,only the man doing that job will know the difficulty of being hunted....but,even if you are killed in the process you have nothing to lose...ya,i accept,it is easier said than done,but as ma english sir says,'what's the point in liveing a safe life when you're bored of it?'....huh....i've got ma time ova..it's time to eat now...to hell with this routine life........

Back again............

2007-11-10T18:22:00.000-08:00

After nearly a month of boredom and anxiety as to when my connection will get proper, here i am ready to get started......i really missed internet these days especially blogging and orkutting.......and if there is someone who missed me,i'll tell u this....i missed u too....and the problem now is,i don't know where to begin, because i really can't pick out some occasion in these past few days coz there were so many of them...And one more thing...belated diwali wishes to all ya ppl.....and surprisingly i've already watched two of the few films which released this week.one is atm starring vijay in a dual role,and the other is om shanthi om starring 'six pack' khan with a concept of reincarnation....both the fims on my accord were worhty of the money i spent on buying their tickets but there are some people who think atm is just 'BLAH BLAH'....and hats off to Kumble for being named d captain of our team but i,personally feel that the selectors missed a trick in selecting him so late in his career,knowing the fact that he has been the captain of his state regularly enough to ....Anyway we all know the man,he's a fighter...hope he makes the team one and atleast try to share honours 'DOWN UNDER'....even if India doesn deserve to win.i feel the aussies don deserve to win,especially when they are complacent enough to say they'll whitewash the indians 4-0...

The magiC of musiC

2007-10-15T05:40:00.000-07:00

Well...well...welll...lemme put a pause to the posts on general affairs(i don't really post on it) and sports.....I sound boring to maself with these 'i-know-what- u -post' sorta posts and heaven knows what ma regular readers and fellow bloggers feel about these posts.....And there's this friend of mine who's taken an oath that he won't post on these topics.....so let's assume that i've taken a leaf out of his book and here i am posting on something which even i don't know where it'll lead me to.......so as i am typing this i come to a conclusion that the topic is going to be about something which has kept me very much adhered to itself in the recent past.....hmmm.......there are many things really..that too when i am a college student now with the extended boundary of freedom...But,those really can not be discussed in public......so these mazes lead me to one perfect answer to the requirement mentioned above.....Music......Don't wonder whether i am referring to ma gf's voice...that's really out of the question here.....am referring to the thing,as ma physics sir says,'which is pleasant to our ears'......lemme leave all those technical stuffs he keeps referring to....you might wonder why this guy is suddenly posting about musiq when music lovers are born by nature and those who hate it go to the grave without changing their opinion.....well......I am an exception.....and i like the idea of being one,coz i am really starting to like the way music keeps changing my moods.....especially hip hop and latin music at that......i am really starting to get hooked up to Enrique's voice, blue's lyrics and some more..........and there's this song one of ma friends gave me,by Justin timberlake.....if i don't listen to it, i don't get sleep.....then imagine the way i am impressed by it......and there are many more songs which are being loaded by me into ma mobile just bcoz ma friend says they are good........i am yet to hear them all.....but i am assuming that they are good bcoz the guy who said they are good was the one who got the j.t track into ma notice.........hmmm.......now do i realise what all those comments, which were weird to me then when i was in some tenth or so ,about the magic of music.........and now one among the many who are in its powerful webs......
and one bad thing which this has bestowed upon me is, i keep blabbering something without even knowing what i am doing.....that's english musiq for ya........

This guy is no monkey.....

2007-10-14T00:17:00.000-07:00

I am just back from watching one helluva innings from the gigantic Andrew Symonds....and take my word for it,this guy is no monkey.....if You're wondering why am referring to our ancestors here, i'll tell you this....recently the worser section of the indian crowd allegedly created controversy by making racial comments against this guy(they made some monkey sound it seems,or atleast that's what my newspaper said) ,and man hasn't he responded well......he has taken his country outta the mat almost every time he came up to bat and he did it even today with a century and a good one at it......seems to have made some changes to his batting and they really are working for him........i can't stop talking about him.......okay ,lemme try to do.......i really was impressed by the way Sreeshanth bowled today.....he was very quick and controlled his tongue and temper pretty well too.....and the last over of Zaheer was very good...and it was supposed to be coz zaheer really seemed to have had a tone up with his bowling.......he is hitting the deck and got the well deserved respect from the great Ponting......now india has its job cut out...it has to bat pretty well to make a match outta this total......let's see......

Back to where it began.......

2007-10-12T23:27:00.000-07:00

I sit in the bus,thinking about what's ahead......i am gonna go to the place where everything began.
...and the fifteen minutes ride seems to go away in seconds as i rewind my secondary school life....and i get down from the bus, and take a stroll in the direction of the place which has made me into what I am.....immediately i lose track of time.....i find a lot of acquainted faces and we en quire about each one else's well being.....even though we did not knew the true meaning of friendship then, the first seeds of friendship n everything else were sewn into our minds only in our school days......Me and my pal decided to go take a look at the places were we had spent, among the most cherished moments of our life...and there was a moment when i felt like going and sitting inside my class and spending the rest of ma life there....But things have to keep going and nobody can bring back time......So i decide against it and keep moving and after some two hours,i decide to move on and bid adieu to ma friends.....and during the return journey to ma house,i realize that i had just been 'WHERE EVERYTHING BEGAN'.......and i mean everything.......

A ridiculous beginning to a day.....

2007-10-08T07:09:00.000-07:00

It's ten to five in the clock.....suddenly i hear one of ma favorite music tracks ever, right into my eardrums that i hate it for that moment....and i realize that it's nothing but my alarm to get up and go have ma usual session of an hour in the gymnasium....but it's Monday and i don't really care to get up.....i draw up my blanket and act as if i din really hear the alarm...and so i have just missed my workout session....but this has nothing to do with the topic though....there are still loads of things to come.....Having slept two hours extra ,i get up sharply at seven and i am not in any hurry to get started for my college...I'll call this one of my baddest of habits...i am more often than not a latecomer but i never really thought i was lazy either.....so i slowly get started to my college and leave ma house at around seven thirty,which is five minutes earlier than the usual time i leave my house.....Nevertheless,i walk as quick as I'd do on any other day. And just as i see the place where we usually board the bus to college from the road's end i notice that there are not enough students...that's a bit weird.....suddenly a knot arises in my stomach ,as the idea of missing the college bus never really occurred to me....and slowly i start to recover myself.....i got into a bus which goes to a place somewhat nearer to my college than the place i am currently standing.....and when i get down from it,i am still some thirty minutes away from my college.....i suddenly remember my eighth standard days when i never really worried about the absence of buses....and as though somebody read my mind i find a bike coming towards me at fifty plus and i hestitantly put my hands out in a gesture meaning 'gimme a lift'...and bless him he exactly did that.....but it wasn't as easy as it sounds....i had to get some three lifts to get into my college only to find that an accident has happenned on its entrance.....but i take no notice of it and continue walking until my class and suddenly i realize that some forty students are watching me as if i am an intruder in their class but i thought i did look like one with my fussed up eyes n hair stranded in all directions.......what would you call this other than a ridiculous beginning to a day????

The black eyed Bingo........

2007-10-07T02:00:00.000-07:00

After many weeks, i managed to stumble on a premier league match, as my hand was making serious exercises with the remote......And i take a close look at both the teams and alas I've stumbled upon a manu match.....Even though i am really not one of its serious fans i really like some of its players.....and as i was seeing the match, i realized that one among the has had a bad day.....yep, the best player in the planet right now has had something wrong with his eyes.....Cr7 has hurt his eye......and the match goes on without any serious damage done to the other team which one's name i don remember and no regrets on it.i was interested only on Cr, rooney and giggs mebbe.......And suddenly the game became manu's after two quick goals and four overall in the second half........and two of them were scored by Cr.........And i even remember him pointing to his eyes when he scored his first one......and that made me make this post which such a topic.....And the champs are back where they began this season........

'nothing really seems to stop me tonight'

2007-10-05T09:33:00.000-07:00

uh uh, i keep thinking about a topic while listening to some music in ma pc when this track named 'Nothing really seems to stop me tonight' by none other than Paris hilton falls in my ears...And that made me make a decision, nothings really gonna stop me tonight from posting the least of it being absence of topics....So when i try to pull out a topic outta thin air i remember 'stick' sreeshanth's comic image of charging into Symonds after he scalps his wicket,don't mind the nick name though,I've started realizing how small the indians are ,when it comes to their physical appearance in comparison with the aussies...anyway to any one who thinks our nation's pride is hurt by this statement, I'd like to apologize and i'd also like to remind you that i am shorter to none when it comes to loving my nation....ok,lemme come to my point, why in hell would Sreeshanth do what he did, and don't tell to me that this is aggression,I've seen enough cricket to differentiate aggression from folly........And a good bowler just gives a stare and don't tell me McGrath gave more than a stare to a batsmen....McGrath is McGrath and Pollock is Pollock and McGrath went into this stuff only when he did everything right and still ended up without a wicket.And i really think one more issue on sreeshanth and Dhoni's ability to handle his fellows mebbe under serious scrutiny and i think dhoni should take a leaf outta Dada's book on this issue.....after all dada was himself aggressive but never really got hooked up....and now my quest is done...i've hung on to my decision in posting tonight,come what may.............

Holi(Y)days

2007-09-29T23:33:00.000-07:00

A little stint of holidays after a long time......No worries in the morning at 6, no boring hours between 9 and 12,and no sleeping hours from 12 to 4 where you must actually hide what you are doing.......that's a holiday for you,and when it comes in three that too after a full week of tiring routine that's definitely a treat, but of course holidays even have a minus ,or at least that's what i found out,the last day of your holiday can really make you pee sometimes. But lemme worry about it on Tuesday, as of now it's party time.....right now am listening to a track named ALL RISE by BLUE.....i have become really obsessed with a few songs from blue in the past few days......apart from that am reading 'THE RAINMAKER' by John Grisham,seems a good story till now......but I've read only some 50 odd pages........it's about how a young lawyer sues a reputed insurance company for playing pranks on a poor family......This is one of the reasons i am fascinated by ma college coz it has a helluva collection of novels unlike other colleges, or at least that's what i heard.......and now to the premier league......as i said in a previous post Liverpool are really havin an excellent start but they must still do their homework to catch up with arsenal and them beat them to the top of the table with manu catching up on them.......so i think this time the premier league winner is gonna be one among this three while Chelsea may spring a surprise but i am not on their side this time around maybe the way Ballack,Lampard , and Shevy play when they are fully fit might make me change my mind.......and as the purists say 'The Champs come hard when they are hit hard'. So it's time for Chelsea to show whether they really deserve to be called a contender for the big prize.......let's see.....

there's gotta be a first time for everything.....

2007-09-27T08:16:00.000-07:00

i walk into my college ground hand in hand with one of ma friends and sit under a tree to watching ma seniors playing something called cricket(honestly it wasn't cricket except for the fact that they were using bat n balls) and on doing so i am turning my backs to another bunch of seniors who think they play football if they kick the ball around but i had to do what i did even though i love football because they were playing it in the basket ball court and kicking a volley ball.....so i thought the former was better and decided to do what i did....the match goes on without any turning point except that a guy spilled a sitter in the deep.....and ma friend takes his mobile out switches on his walkman and we start listening some music....now some gals turn out....both seniors and our fellow first years....slowly i start to feel bored and thought it'd be better if i took another walk around ma college...I think u'll be wondering what the topic has to do with all the shit i am typing, i forgot to mention an important fact.....some two hundreds yards from where i was sitting currently my computer programming teacher is shouting at the top of her voice to teach my fellow class mates about computers....now u get why i did what i did...don't U??? i've been listening to these stuff for nearly ten years now...but for all the technical stuff.....i say to my inner conscience,"WELCOME TO COLLEGE LIFE.....and this is the first time i cut a class in my college......definitely this is not the last one to come.......

wooohooo.......

2007-09-25T07:14:00.000-07:00

This post has taken a bitta time to come after what unfolded yesterday but i was on an euphoria...how'd you expect me to come n keep typing something without living every moment of the grand spectacle again in ESPN and take my word for it, the whole nation is in such a state now and it'll take some time to die off.....After all,DHONI'S DASHERS have done what wasn't predicted by the game's most craziest fans........And still i can't believe Shreeshanth took that catch,honestly i though 'twas a six the moment it was hit but even then i didn't think it was a catch.........And India has done this without the big three......would u believe me when i say that the pressure is now on the big three to prove their worth or they might be sacked just like that but i wouldn't think of it even in my wildest dreams....after all sachin is sachin and dravid is dravid and dada is of course as we know him........i don;t think these young guys have it in them to sweat it out in the test format where once defense should be as sound as his attacking instincts..i still am not impressed by this format of the game and i hope,as vettori says,this isn't the future of the game.........but hats off to the Indians for the quality of cricket they displayed.........But what this triumph has done is put enormous pressure on the team to do well against the aussies and i think the way indians cope with the pressure will be crucial to the outcome of the series..........remember there was no pressure on the team to win the t20 world cup and i'll take this as one of the reasons India came out with flying colors........let's wait n see......

Back to teh machine life.....

2007-09-23T01:04:00.000-07:00

It's monday morning,0600 hrs and as usual i am wondering whether some five more minutes in ma bed will do any harm......And how on earth,did i believe that these gloomy Mondays will be gone with school life.....And i was terribly mistaken because here i am posting about my college life while hoping that the following sixteen hours don't dry up soon coz it'll be monday after that and a start of a hectic week......Believe me when i say hectic coz it's six continuous days in an atmosphere which i don't find as soothing as ma school was and with subjects which'll make even the brightest of students doze.......But unlike other colleges there's something in mine which differs it from school life....mebbe teh girls or mebbe the way seniors seem to enjoy their life or the way i am posting right now without having any worries about homeworks to be completed or assignments to be submitted.....And who knows,life may not be so bad for me once i get some friends and adapt myself to the situation better.......Now do i miss my childhood friends a lot coz am envied a lot by the group of students who club up every time during breaks , forgetting every other soul in the college just because they're from the same school...To all my friends thinking that I've forgotten them i say this 'even if I've forgotten you during the holidays now i do remember you people' "THE FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT BUT THE PRESENT DOESN'T
SEEM SO".........hope it's better the next time i post......

The final showdown......

2007-09-23T00:37:00.000-07:00

Some ten days ago, India bet Pakistan in a bowl out but not before the latter came so close to clinching a thriller,thanks to Misbah....But now the team has to do it again to complete what has so far been a fairy tale of a tournament....ever since Gayle started the tournament with a fifty odd ball century the tournament has never looked back,and it's not been a complete mayhem for bowlers either,some like Vettori,Bhajji,Asif have showed what a good bowler can do for a team.....And u won't believe me when i say Shahid afridi is the tournament's leading wicket taker,this goes on to show what true commitment can do........I've also been impressed by r.p singh's bowling and the way Yuvi has delivered the goods every time he comes on to bat,hitting six sixes in a row is no mean thing and that too to a bowler who has been very good so far in this english summer.........And leaving big three back home really seems to have improved the Indian fielding to a good extent,and the Proteas will agree to this.......It all goes down to this, one team will find glory tomorrow while the other will keep wondering what went wrong at the last moment and i honestly hope the latter doesn't turn out to be India

shapin up well.......

2007-09-20T21:13:00.000-07:00

Saturday at nine thirty IST,the youthful indian side is about to take on a dominant australian side.......definitely india will go into the match as teh underdogs but i wouldn't be surprised if they come up with an upset,after all,they were written off and talked off even b4 their match with the proteas started......But,here they are,into the last four having comprehensively beaten the proteas.....and elsewhere it'd be a much more interesting match-up when Pakistan takes on the kiwis........I don't think they'll have a problem beating the kiwis if they play Vettori to his merit but alas,u don't know what to expect from the Pakistanis.It has been a good tournament so far for the two Asian giants after the disastrous world cup in west indies but it'd be even better if they manage to make it the first time ever in world cup cricket that the final is an all asian affair.......And what else will be a good start for a young captain than winning the world cup........But i'll assure this.......Saturday is gonna be a grand showdown for cricket fans........."FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE" let's see if it favours India this time around against the aussies.........

Enterin into a new world.............

2007-09-11T06:45:00.000-07:00

It's party time..........atlast my college has started and here i am, already feeling proud to be an svce an.........for those who are wondering which college i am into, i am now a first year cs student of Sri Venkateshwara College of engineering,Sriperambudur.......It's around thirty kms from my house which is in Ambattur....so obviously i needed the transport services of my college.....the bus ride takes around forty five minutes in the morning and double the time in the evening for obvious reasons......Although i was expecting a bitta ragging,there was no such thing,atleast in my bus,but i'd have liked a bit of it though........
I think it'll be upto its name when it comes to enjoyment(come on yaar we enjoy in every college) but it'll take some time for me to come into terms with college life..........And one thing i have learnt in this two days is,there is no point in being a silent kid(even though i am not one,i tried to be in these two days)............And even the professors are friendly as far as i know and of course they're bound to be......... As i write this i hope i am not overshadowed in thevast crowd of to-be-engineers ,as i am not used to it.............
and i hope i am not misguided either.........
Hoping to have 4 years of happy(i mean it) enjoyment.........

got many to say..........

2007-09-07T03:33:00.000-07:00

Only after finishing ma last post did i realize that I've completely forgotten to mention about cricket in it........But,now i won't, after the way India chased down a huge target of 317.......And I'd also like ma readers to know that I've bought myself a SE W810i.........And also that this is ma last week of holidays as ma college administration has decided to finish the long wait by announcing that the college will open on the tenth this month...........

Lemme come back to the match........first I'll finish off the negatives......what the hell was Dravid thinking when he gave the ball to yuvraj to bowl the last over??? And i really don't think this seven batsmen ploy is working out,you'll understand what i mean once you're done reading this post,and Dravid really needs one more bowler to slow down things a bit..........I'd really like to see bhajji back in the team because more often than not he took wickets as well as put the breaks on the batsmen...........but things are really not good for him at the moment.........
And now the positives...........the greatest openers of the game, as far as I've seen, are back in business........i really loved the way Sachin batted,but Ganguly is clearly not at his best ,but there's no problem as long as he keeps scoring runs.he bats well in patches.....I'll give credit for Uthappa only for the way he held his nerves and not for his batting.............clearly on his day anderson would've got him out 7 outta 10 balls.............and even England had some positives but don't we go into them...........let us hope they don't realise them.........
And as am saying this, the home of cricket is getting ready for the final showdown..............And let's hope that,One of the many sons of the game comes out on top in what clearly is his final match here..........

After a long tym......

2007-09-01T21:12:00.000-07:00

Well,well,well......if you are wondering why I haven't been posting for nearly three weeks than I'll tell you this,even i was wondering the same thing till yesterday .But, only today did i realize that it takes something more than boredom to make a post......

After five months of complete rest(not really),my college administrators have finally decided to break the ice by announcing it is about to open on the tenth of this month.....But honestly I don't know what made them take this much time really.......And as of now,am still spending my time with the usual routine....TV,System,Gym et cetera.....

And now i come to the premiership................a disasterous start for the champions has been the highlight of the competition so far but i am starting to drift towards the reds from the blues, seeing the way they are playing currently and Torres' signing has really helped them to their cause.......And ask Derby County about this and they'll say more..... Maybe I'll turn back to the blues once Ballack and Shevy return.......... But I'll tell you this,Manu will be a totally different side once they have Rooney and Ronaldo back........
But I don't want them to be.........

salute to the nation......

2007-08-14T08:22:00.000-07:00

Well.....I will start of by saluting Mother India on her sixty years of freedom which completes tomorrow.Vande Matharam......

Time to move on.I wanted to tell about the first week of the premiership and i do have lots to tell.....but before that let me update the readers on ma life.....as usual I felt bored but atleast i had the premiership to watch......
To start of with,I thought most of the results were as expected but there were surprises too,the top one being Manu being unable to beat reading.....And the names which left opponents wondering according to me were:
Malauda,Pizarro,Wright-phillips,Torres,Gerrard,Carew,Essien and Fulham's goalie,whose name I don't remember,and many more from the matches i didn't see.......
Next i was really impressed by the way Arsene wenger lead his team in what was his first match as a Premiership Boss............And hats off to big Sam too...........
The goal of d week for me was no doubt Gerrard's magical free kick which was so good that even the well over six foot Carew who was no match for the red's defenders when the ball was in the air......
And before i finish off, i'd like to congratulate the Indian team on its series victory.........and now i bid adieu..............

teh weekend.....

This post has been has been due for some time but i didn't have anything interesting to post which has been the story of our so called holidays.well,to start of with i had some problems with ma health right at the start of the week but atleast am feeling better now.

I completed reading the Deathly Hallows for a second time and started John Grisham's THE RUNAWAY JURY.Has been pretty interesting till now although I've completed only seventy odd pages.

We had our annual day yesterday but no longer can i use our here because i no longer study in jgvv but let's leave it.Had a good time chatting with friends who i hadn't seen for quite a long time although it never really reached my Xpectations which were really high because of all the other reasons

The thing which i'm waiting to happen the most this weekend is the start of the English a Premiership and as usual i am with Chelsea and if you wanna ask why i don't support Manu I'll tell u this....It's always been the case with me,I never really like the dominant ones though i am crazy about Federer,hope u get what i mean.

And the next thing i want to discuss is about the ongoing third test between India and England.
Congrats to Kumble on his maiden hundred and Tendulkar continues his habit of getting out near the three figure mark.Let's see whether India wins this test or draws or continues its habit of losing the test after winning the preivious one, but i don't think it's likely with the kinda start they've got..........let's see guyssssss.........

who's ma best buddy........

One question every human who's normal keeps asking himself will be this......i say normal because every normal human has friends,atleast one.I kept thinking about this and was walking along a road.....i could picture all ma close friends,what good they did to me,what bad,and all they said about me and all their expressions et cetera et cetera.....I was happy with everyone but i couldn't call even one of them my best buddy for some reason(s)....and i kept wondering...something about that moment made me feel happy,and then i got the bus and all blah blah....then i came home and i had forgotten that topic in the tension of ma journey.I opened the door to find that there was no one in my house at that instant.So i went into my room and sat down and in the silence i remembered the introspection i had had in my inner mind and how i felt peaceful for a moment or so while doing that....And to my wonder i got that back,as if someone was listening to my inner conscience,and at that moment i got what i had missed.I had forgotten him completely,the one who listens to me any time without complains and one who didn't seem to have any turn offs like my other friends did.i hope u guessed it by now.......it's loneliness that i love the most and consider as my best buddy.......

ma first post-to b practical......the second test....

Well...u might ask what was the wierd fifteen or so lines abt pals if it wasn't my first post,my answer to you is this: i just got started there but i can't call it ma first one, can't find a reason to contemplate it.So i start my blog career here...hoping it lasts long.....i am gonna speak about the recently concluded second test between england n india. Everyone followed up Zaheer khan in the aftermath of the victory though i thought R.P Singh deserved equal if not more respect.Most of you will accept to this,but for those who don't, i'll say this,he was the one who seemed to have more control over the swing while bowling around the wicket,no wonder he got Prior out with an absolute blinder of a delivery.And the one who was forgotten in the newspapers was Ryan Sidebottom .I thought he had equally good control but the only turn off was he didn't bowl more from the other end.But the commentators praised him ,which has to be said.And the spell from Tremlett in the second test was as critical as any in the series.The ways in which he got Karthick with a steep riser and setup the little maestro were brilliant.And it can really have an effect on the way the Indians will treat him in the final test.So i finish off by saying this,England had somethings to be proud of from the second test and they were not thrashed by India as others might think seeing the scorecard....

Your pals are your plus....

Let me first introduce myself.....am a seventeen year old adolescent who thinks there's something in this life worth living...din get me?....just go on....you might wonder what i know about life being a seventeen year old but let me tell you,this is just my views and i can't guarantee you that this will go right with everyone.As far as am concerned everyone in this world have their own turn ons and turn offs but if u like someone u might forget the turn offs and if u don like someone u'll not think they have some turn ons.so u like people if you want to and u hate them just because u don't like them.And i'll tell you this,when it comes to your friends please don't forget what they have done to you just because of a small mistake,because they might turn out to be very costly.As far as am concerned friends are gonna play a very important role in your life, so just try to earn their respect first and be ready to compromise with them if you have to.....and i think one who's respected and loved by his friends will have few enemies and will be succesful in every step he makes...
