What the rain can do to you...

There has been a cyclone formed in the southern state of Tamil Nadu in a particularly interesting country among the other many countries in the world called India. The cyclone, named Nisha (or is it Sabala?), created 5 days of complete havoc in the state. And on all these days one or more districts had their schools and colleges closed. The first two days of it, the city of Chennai didn’t have a holiday. And on the third day, or rather, the second day, the third day was declared a holiday for Chennai; I don’t know about you guys but honestly, I was very happy. It’s just too typical of me to be happy if school was called off even if it meant I would become really jobless and bored to an extent of, say hit myself or bang my head on the wall. Though such a trying situation has never had the guts to face me, I had not quite a problem.

 

Now, as the third day passed and the dreaded feeling of going to the school the next day struck me, I felt depressed extremely depressed. I was easily more depressed than Marvin. At least Marvin got to go all over the space and help the group of people consisting of earthman Arthur Dent, Trillion, President of the Universe and the intelligent hitchhiker Ford Prefect who came in handy at all times, I was left to sit in one bench all day long with another bored organism of the same species as me beside me and in fact all around me and not to forget the other organism of the same species as the all of us shouting his/her lung out explaining to us some very complicated thing in very simple language. This is what we, the people on earth, would call a classroom with children and a teacher.  Yeah so coming back to whatever I started off this paragraph with, I was depressed that we might have school the fourth day. And guess what surprised me? Yup! The government had been fair enough to us by announcing the next day as a holiday too!

 

As the fourth day was drawing to an end, again I felt depressed! The very thought of this week being the monthly test week and that I had to write a test the next day on portions I completely disliked was like asking me to read a clever pun of some unearthly language without any former knowledge of the existence of the language! Now again I prayed and hoped and sweated and sat in front of the TV without going to study because of the increased trust on the rains. It was mid afternoon. I had got sick of watching the same TV that spoke about the same news over and over and over and over again. And so I decided to go online and discuss why the next day should be a holiday with the other people who were jobless enough to come online too. I was doing the above mentioned task when suddenly I got this message from a friend of mine that said:

“Go check out the TV”

“Why? Anything important?”

“Just go check it out!”

“’Okay. Wait till I’m back”

And this creature, as usual, was very lazy and this time more so because the weather was a very laziness inducing type of weather. And so grumbling I made attempts to get out of the highly comfortable chair I was sitting on. But not long after I decided to do so and made the first ever attempts, I got a text message that read: “no school tomorrow also. The TV says so!”. And so the other obvious reactions such as expressing your happiness about the decision to the other friends you were discussing about this and to your Mom because she had always regretted your company when you troubled her instead of letting her take her afternoon nap. And so the soul was happy. Little did it know about the next major surprise that awaited it in not more than half an hour.

 

Exactly half an hour after the above mentioned incident took place, the happy soul got another text message that read: “no school tomorrow AND on Saturday. So the tests that were supposed to be on Saturday are also postponed indefinitely!”. ‘Now that is news I could rejoice about!’ thought the soul and did so; she rejoiced calling a few of her friends sharing with them this happiness and singing and dancing and doing all the fun things in life and.. in a nutshell, having a frolicking time all together!

 

Then the soul decided it should also use the time a little usefully. She sat down to read, not the text books again for she had already done that for quite some time earlier but a very good book by a very good author called Douglas Adams. The book, as most of you would have now guessed was not “The Hitchhikers’ Guide to the Galaxy” but the fourth book of the series “So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish”. I must say, it was absolutely marvelous! And so the soul had a frolicking time reading a wonderful book and having 5 days of holidays from her classes. And when the same soul got bored of the wonderful book and of discussing to her friends who are online about the various new topics they made up together, she decided to spend, or rather waste, the time of hers and the poor people who chanced upon her blog on that day with this blog she decided to call… …well…um…. What is it called by the way? 

The Doomsday Conspiracy

One fine evening, really fine because the next day was a holiday at school and I don’t have to finish the “n” homework I should have completed otherwise, I was busy being jobless. That was when I got this message from a class mate of mine. That really interested fellow sent a message that asked me to go watch history channel right away for a documentary on doomsday. Hmmm interesting! As a person who basically loves mystery and learning more about the most mysterious and ambiguous things on earth, that message was heavenly! And the next thing I know, I am there in the living room watching that documentary.

 

It was a great documentary basically! The next time they air it and you come to know of it, people I am telling you it is a must watch! It was about time obsessed ethnic people of present day Mexico, the Mayans. And thanks to the Spanish people who first invaded their land, their scriptures aren’t completely in our hands. But with just what we do have it is quite obvious, after years and years of study, that doomsday is the infamous 12 December 2012. And you should know, those Mayans were a lot, a LOT, obsessed with time. So much so that their famous Chechen Itza, is actually an elaborate existing proof for the very fact of it (sorry guys… I can’t really explain it. I missed some 5 minutes of the showL).  So, many modern day humans believe the fact that doomsday is right at our door step (I am telling you, I can’t wait to see the looks of all these 24*7 news channels on December 11 2012!). And did I forget to mention the importance of this day? It has 2 really rare and wonderful cosmological happenings that just amazes man for the mere happening of it. The sun, on that day, aligns itself to the exact galactic center of the Milky Way galaxy and the earth completes the wobble around its axis. The thing is that these two happen once in 26000 years! Now that’s a long time!

 

So, after seeing this documentary and completely admiring the pains taking of the archeologists iconologists and other professionals involved in the de-coding of the Mayan scriptures, I was left to myself to answer one question for myself, “does this doomsday thing really exist?” and before any of you guys out there to just kill the others with their “mokkais” open their mouths to say that day exists but I don’t really know if its doomsday or not, let me tell you one thing the question lurking in my mind is if that existing day is doomsday or not. And as my usual self, I sat down to think instead of wasting time in the net googling for stuff I could have gone without knowing. And by the way, I think the verb “google” should become part of the English language, what say? Yeah so my long minutes of thinking has resulted in an answer I am so amazed of myself, ok I am not amazed at it but at the way I have spent so much time without googling! I think the doomsday conspiracy is utter bluff. The Mayans lived centuries ago and they deceived from existence a long back themselves. And why should man, as of now the greatest being on earth, believe statements of people like the Mayans.

 

Maybe I am wrong at this decision. But then no one can tell me so until they say that it is a fact and not an assumption of theirs. And that can be proved only when their so-called “doomsday” arrives. After which, no one would exist to tell me that I was all wrong and that doomsday did actually exist. But I wanted to give my opinion on something as important as this being a responsible resident of earth myself. So people the thing I learned today is some things are best left a mystery the more you try to prove your point in it, the more a relationship of yours could end in a disaster. And why? Because my recent conversations on the existence of God almost had a friendship of mine go down the drain. Doesn’t really matter now because we are good friends as of now, and hopefully forever. I also discovered that it is these little insignificant fights between friends that make you closer and closer and closer…..

 

So the ambiguity of anything that exists on this earth will pull the interest of one soul who badly wants all things to have a very logical reason, excluding a few stuff which are a mystery to me and that includes the mystery of this mystery. And here I am writing this blog that is so important for me to express my mind straight out to one person who just have to understand that our friendship stands on a thin rope but is not far from a bed of fur! And so our friendship rocks! And I really think I should go google about little countries that really matter to my general knowledge, my dear google awaits me so…

Until next post,

The big A B C D and E explanation

Well, this is what happened in the recent past; Very interesting to read if you follow.  I had to write out the names and the respective alphabets so many times just to make sure the story was going right. So here goes, get your notepads and pens and grey cells ready, this might be more confusing than anything in your life!

Yeah so here goes the story:

A, B, C, D and E were good friends. Until when suddenly, E let out B’s secret to A, who was then B’s up and coming best friend, which B obviously didn’t like. So, there started the disliking of E for B. but what B didn’t know was that A C and D individually also didn’t like E much. But B kept it to itself (sorry, real B can’t really reveal your gender over here!) because it thought that the others liked E very much. So as the story moves, there is a major fight between B and C because of E, so C is damn pissed off with E. (after becoming friends with B) C pulls over a big fight. At the end of the fight, B learns that C doesn’t like E. So with all confidence C won’t take B in the wrong sense B tells C that B doesn’t like E.

Now, the story moves forward for a long time, really very long time. Then B gets a shock, but very happy indeed, that A and D have already told C that they dislike E. Now there is a club that says “We hate E”. There are discussions about the reasons for hating E and other mutual damages.  But little did they realize that D was all the while having a soft corner for E. But then it was too late before they could realize that, D had told everything it knew to E. E now asks C if A and B have blocked E, yeah did I forget? They block E, and C says that it doesn’t know and that it will ask and see A and B. It did ask A and B but then it told the truth to them. A and B are very shocked to see this. They try to avoid E. And then A unblocks E and then E and A start to talk. But B is quite confident not to unblock E.

[Geez!!! This is so boring! Let me shorten things up from now]

So here goes the slightly abridged version from now….

Basically, D is found guilty but then D is forgiven. And E convinces C that it is repenting truly (though B and A don’t really trust it). So because of the true friendship that A and B share with C they accept to talk to E but they are not truly talking to E.

[I guess the gender will have to come into light now]

And then, all of A B C and D come to know that E actually had a crush on A. Considering that E used to boast around that it (what is the point? He) was her brother; it was quite a shock to the others. So all the others started to dislike E. But then D and C were so true to E that they couldn’t keep from talking to E in the true sense of the relationship they share with E. but A and B are too hurt to do the same hence E becomes “just a senior” to them. And to the concerned A,B,C,D and E: “yes I wanted this to be an important  part of my life, and so this record.” And even if anyone here figured it out, keep it to yourself for the betterment of A,B,C and D. Thank you!

A: I didn't really mind E having a crush on me. But myself, B,C and D were really sad that E didn't tell that to them before. And now that E is committed, I found a way too! I am committed too!

[And that E, is the amount you have hurt A,B,C and D!]

The Hour Without them all

This blog is the story that started off to be an easy seeming thing but ended up being a realization process. Don’t try to take challenges like I did and end up being completely thrown into a new planet some infinite light years from the ever so sweet earth.

It all started with my listening to songs in the iPod. It was a very pleasant weather, better still, great song. It was all fine until my Mom came in slamming the door behind asking me to do her a little help with the household chores, fair as it seemed I had a reason to postpone in for just 2 more minutes, the song would have ended then and I would have done the work with no regrets that I left a song in the middle of listening. That’s all I asked. And what I got back was naturally a complaint that we the people who constitute the generation next are obsessed with the gizmos. Are we? No! (But the truth is hell yeah!). The argument thus continued and ended up as a challenge my Mom posed to me; spend a day without any gizmos. Not that long! I need to make my discussions with my friends on all things with my mobile phone which was in her hit list of gizmos. So it was reduced to JUST an hour. And her gizmo hit list was: iPod, music system, laptop or computer and the ever so friendly and most useful mobile phone. And if I had owned a PS or an XBOX, it would have been in the hit list too.

It was on the next day of the argument that the hour of the evil was to be implemented. How I wish I didn’t accept the challenge! Well, it was late into the day at some 11 pm. First I said to myself, it’s just an hour just till 12. It’ll get over sooner than you think. Well, I wish! I got calls from my friends right then. How grateful I am to them! Then, it stopped ringing. Happy? I wish! They started messaging me about I didn’t know then but later saw about replying to their messages or attending to their calls or else…. Thank you guys, if you’re reading this!

OK somehow they got sick of not getting replies and just stopped it. And then when I saw the clock with hopes that it would have been at least 11:45, I was in for a rude shock, it was just 11:15! And my mind already stared craving to know about the message my friends tried to convey to me which I missed; what could have it been? Some gossip about someone? Some sort of great news? Some sort of a bad news? Well, I was left to imagining to the next what seemed to be half an hour, but it turned out to be just ten minutes. Time did play a very cruel joke on me, why did it go so slow then and very fast when I needed time? Then I was so bored I wanted very badly to listen to a song where could I go for a song then? It could clearly not be from my iPod or my mobile or the music system. A radio? Oh great! First I have no gizmos next I have to go search the dead remains of the storage compartments for an ancient radio which I am not sure if it even had an existence now!

It did have an existence; I did find an ancient radio. But it didn’t play anyway! But that was a blessing in contrast to my misconception. It consumed a good half an hour of the time. This made me just five more minutes! Hurray! Then it finally got over. But I will never forget this day in my life. I learned an important lesson of my life, “The present generation is addicted to the gizmos.” No doubts about it. You wouldn’t be disagreeing with it if you actually saw what I had experienced in your light. Just imagine a day without any gizmos, they would be horrible. The gizmos have become so important to us, we don’t really sense it, but it is the truth. So the next time you hear someone complain about our addiction to gizmos smile and say “yes we are. And we’re happy about it. We can face the world of tomorrow better with the gizmo addiction in comparison with facing it without our gizmo addiction. So by and far. It’s for the good of us, the good of tomorrow and the good of man-kind in all that we are addicted to gizmos”. I’m asking you to do that because I am going to do the same, it would be better to do it with some company instead of doing it all alone!
Untill the next post,
yours,

10 possible reasons why I think I've lost it

Well, you read it right. I have lost a certain ‘it’ in life without which you cannot live the life of the greatest being in life. This certain ‘it’ I just discovered I never possessed in the whole of my life. When one fine day I sat and thought about the possible reasons why I lost such an important ‘it’ in my life, I came down with as many as 100 possibilities, who knows if I had thought about this more I would have ended up with more possible reasons. But, I don’t bother about the other infinite I didn’t think of, out of the 100 I thought of these 10 according to me are the best.


DISCLAIMER: what is going to follow here is utter idiocy; you might as well decide to navigate away from this page. But if you are destined to go through the following, well, if you have such a bad luck I can’t help it can I? Thanks anyway!


OK now coming to the hit list, I decided to make it a sort of a count down, so here is the count of the possible reasons why I lost the certain ‘it’ or rather why I never possessed the certain ‘it’.


Possible reason # 10:
Well, maybe because I was destined not to posses it. Why not? That’s a good possibility!

Possible reason # 9:
Probably, I do posses it and I fail to understand that I posses it. That’s a better reason.

Possible reason # 8:
Probably, I am perfect just without ‘it’.

Possible reason # 7:
Why could it not be that I just traded 'it' for something else I have?

Possible reason # 6:
Possibly I was a rebel since my creation and when God distributed the ‘it’ amongst his different creations, I was rebellious enough to stay away from it and decide not to get ‘it’ and live a life bigger than the others without actually having the ‘it’.

Possible reason # 5:
Possible because God just ran out of ‘it’s when I came over to Him waking up late that day when he distributed the ‘it’s amongst his different creatures.

Possible reason # 4:
I am obsessed with the thought that I don’t have ‘it’ that I refuse to see another ‘it’ much better than the ‘it’? That could well be the reason!

Possible reason # 3:
I don’t know! Because I just don’t have it and nothing to reason out at all?

Possible reason #2:
Why not because I am not good enough for ‘it’?

Possible reason # 1:
If the last reason was a possibility you could agree with then why not this one? Because I am too good for ‘it’!


And that’s how I show the world that I am bored and I need a change from the routine. On the other news, I have agreed on a challenge not to use the gizmos for an hour tomorrow. Will get back to you after that hour. Thanks a ton for coping up with this idiotic piece of writing I wrote just to while away time!
Until next post,

Who Am I?

'Who am I?" often considered an amnesiac's first words after they recover from their long coma (as depicted in movies). But what I feel about this question is, it is the ultimate question of life. You answer it and you have been a genius in your life.

See, the point of your life is to know why you are here, as in you are born with a specific work to be done and you don't die without finishing it. Lets not go to the belief in such stuff. I might as well be offending the rationalists who come across this blog, so people let me explain myself for this here and come over to you. So its like you are born with a certain aim to be accomplished by you and you do all the stuff needed to achieve it in your lifetime. Fine. But how do you know what you are supposed to do until you know "who" exactly you are? So in your view are things clear that "Who am I?" is the million dollar question you need to ask yourself before you accomplish the biggest thing of your life? Yes it is!

Now coming to rationalists or rather let me put it as believers of science. Right, so coming to you first let's see you have your lifetime aim already, to make the whole world literate that everything in the universe has a scientific logic behind it, right? OK. So first for people to accept your ideas you need to be powerful enough? Religion was born when science was born but religion became more important thats why rationalists like you are comparatively less in number. And why did this happen? Easy, because religion had more appealing leaders who were more famous among the common masses. If there had been a scientist more famous or even equally famous, science would have been another religion much earlier! So you need to create an identity of yourself among the masses as "a person to be believed in come what may". But for that first you need to know yourself to an extent of perfection, more troubling than being religious but science demands the impossible from her believers doesn't she? So identifying yourself first to an extent of perfection begins with a simple question whose answer can be as complicated as you can even dream, rather nightmare, about. And the question is, "Who am I?"

I am writing this blog but I myself have no idea as to where the answer to this question lies or how I am going to reach to it. But what I do know is, my deep thinking has given way to more mature outlook on life and that shall help me find my identity not my friend not my parents not anybody else, everything of that sort is just koah-koah-koash! My identity needs serious work from my part and thats all no one's help is needed after i begin to start journeying myself, the moment i start walking, though a little help is not a mistake. But won't you not feel better if you reached your goal all by yourself? Yes it would! But it's kind of a bit too late for me, I have taken help from many people till date so my journey is never all by myself done, so is most of yours. So the whole point of writing this blog is, ask a question to yourself and try searching for an answer; try not to outsource unless it is highly important that you do; but the question is "Who am I?".
Until my next post,

The Hyderabad trip-off the hook

So it did come,the long awaited class trip of mine. And came with a bang! It was to Hyderabad (capital city of Andra Pradesh, India). And our guides and teachers made sure it was off the hook and it was so.

Firstly, we did nothing that we actually had planned but we had loads of fun more with doing stuff as things came. There was the usual singing of songs, teasing of friends (in a friendly manner of course!), dancing for a few numbers and ghost stories at the night till mid night (we were freaked out literally!), teasing general people on the way (they didn't know it though. We are kids after all!). What was unexpected was that we had this bomb blast in Ahmadabad (Gujarat, India). And people were worried sick if a bomb were to be placed in Hyderabad. I don't know about all of them, but a few(actually most) of my friends were so damn exited by this, they were like "we get this chance to have the greatest adventure of life!". and the scared ones were the funniest of them all. Here's an expert from the conversations of two scared friends of mine:
X: Hey did you hear about the blasts?
Y: Yeah, saw the report in NDTV just now...
X: The blasts were in Ahmadabad right?
Y: Yeah. You have any idea as to where it is?
X: Yeah it is in Andra Pradesh, just a few kilometers from Hyderabad.
Y: Oh man! Are we in trouble!
Z: (who was listening to their conversation) *hahahahahaha*
X and Y: We are worried sick here and you laugh?
Z : Yes. But because you have some geographical knowledge of India!
Y: Why? Whats wrong with ours?
Z: Nothing much, just that Ahmadabad is in Gujarat and we are in Andra Pradesh now, at least 1000 kilometers apart!
X: Well... mistakes do happen. Moreover I was nervous...

I know you get nervous and you make more mistakes, but this is definitely a blunder! And this wasn't the only fun part, we had a guide tease one of our friends because we were teasing her all the way long (Ooops.. looks like I've blurted out her secret! What goes? None of you know who she is or what she is teased!).

And class wars during trips are as often as always. Our class had a friendly war with one class girls and an actual war with another class girls. While going to the city, we had the friendly war with girls in the next cubicle, who sang the best song and the loudest. We were stopped in the middle of the competition by the teachers for being too noisy. But the most dramatic was the actual war we had, we as in the boys of our class. We were being thought of as dumb people so we had to prove we were better that them, or at least that. So our boys were like backfiring every attempted tease at us, thank you brothers!

So things like these happened, and luckily for us we had no fights among our classmates and we were forced to forget a few enemies we had for the sake of the fun of the trip. No bad feelings about that 'cause it was the best trip we've had till now. And this, my friends, is the blog I promised to be coming a few weeks from my last one. so,
Until next time,

The art of Vettiness

Well, life to me seems to be fast moving with no adventure or even a small thing to be written on. That actually implies one thing, that I am at the height of vettiness or should I say joblessness? My typical school working day starts at 6 a.m with nothing special, just the same old routine each day. And at school, the same time table and the same teachers talking about the same thing, "10 board is approaching...." blah blah blah..... Not their fault though. They are anxious, but to me over-anxious. Never mind, at least i can be free at home. Thanks to God, I have two people who say, "It's your future and you know it better than we do. Take your time, but do it on your own." aren't they the best? Yeah right! I feel bored that way. Life has seemed to stop and say,"sorry girl, I ran out of adventures". So all I have to do now is study search the net for my math project, chat while doing so, and watch TV. But believe me my TV viewing time has drastically lessened, from almost all the time at home it's now just 1 and a half hours. And the net, just another 1 hour or so a day. That leaves 4 hours of study out of school each day. Eesh.... I have started learning alright! But what to say, that doesn't mean i run out of time to type a blog and post it. It simply means I don't have anything to type and post. In fact its been a LONG time since I even came to the blogger dashboard. I was waiting for a good topic to post on now when I have it I see I have left one blog unfinished. So here I am finishing it and once I'm done with that, you have one more coming right up in a week's time.

But this was mainly to say i was jobless. Mission accomplished!
Until next time,

What To Say?

‘It’s been a long time since my last post. What do I post this time?’, were the thoughts that ran through my mind as I sat down to watch the IPL match between the Delhi Daredevils and the Kolkata Knight Riders. Then as if a lightening struck my head the idea struck ‘Of course! The IPL that will be my topic’. And so this blog was born….

There are different types of IPL viewers. The ones who watch for the cricket, for the corporate, for their sport icons, for their favorite team, and why forget, for the cheerleaders. I watch it for my favorite team, the Chennai Superkings. The only reason is that I reside in Chennai. Other than them I also like Rajasthan royals for the superb captain they have and of course the Knight Riders simply for the reason that I like their owner Shah Rukh Khan. And my pity definitely goes for the Bangalore team, Royal Challengers. Well their team makes a great test team but, T20 is something they cannot expert at. The team has the best choice of talents like Kallis, Praveen, Dravid, White, Boucher and many more, these are just a few that struck me at this second. Well in a sentence, ‘a bad collection of great talents’ is what I can say.

I was so interested in the whole IPL thing that I went on to search the youtube for team anthems. That’s when I realized that IPL has a great reach among people. Well the incident goes this way; I was seeing the Chennai team anthem while I found the video of Chennai superstars and Kolkata tigers. ‘they made a mistake maybe’ I thought and went there to see the video. It was no mistake; it was in fact the ICL tournament. I found out with the news below that it happened during the tour of Australia (the whole Bhajji Hayden thing said it!). I found cheerleaders, with a similarly short costume cheering their teams. Well, all the hype about the same issue in IPL came in the news but not the ICL. That’s when reality faced me; IPL has an insanely higher viewer’s crowd than ICL.

And coming back to the teams, I would like to express my opinion about the Bangalore one, Or should I say the pitiful Bangalore one! As said before it’s a bad collection of great talents. Charu Sharma and Vijay Malaya must have talked through all this before the auctions and Dravid must have helped them out. But unfortunately the story is different here. So as a price for their ignorance they have to win the eighth place on the standings. I see no other way. But maybe they can find their way out of this mess and make it to the semis. Let’s see what magic they can do. All their fans and some pitying viewers can do is wish them luck.

Now coming back to the Chennai team, this is how I would put their graph high to very high to very low to high again. And it just took the team some time to recover the loss of those three people, Hayden Hussey and Oram, that’s what took them three matches. That’s not a long time in my opinion but still they could’ve at all probabilities realized this before. But after all, the team had survived the series with their unconquerable help. But Dhoni had to recover so this new batting line up. Works for the team so three cheers for Dhoni! And their anthem, sung by Suchitra, Benny and a lot more, is basically in Tamil. I first heard to it in the radio and soon found it on TV. But the thing is, most of the team itself doesn’t understand it so how….? Never mind! Music speaks for itself doesn’t it?

Now talking about the team pushes me to talk about its players. Let’s see Balaji seems to be finding his way back into the international team. And players like Badrinath, Vidyut et cetera are paving their way into the international team. And how do I forget Murli’s spin, Gony’s wickets and Morkel’s sixes? Coming back to the three departed players is unnecessary. The other unmentioned players have also been very good at the tournament. So this leaves us with just one player, the captain Dhoni. Well he did good captaincy and nice wicket keeping and of course great thinking with doing away with the players who are not in form. All praise for that.

Now for the period in the Chennai's graph where the team was loosing, I found many reasons for that, the players departing, the unlucky anchoring of Samir Kochhar, the not so dependable batting order and many more. But I stuck on to the anchoring. Every match I want the anchor Shiv or Ajay Jadeja to come back. Never happened but the team finally proved in their match against Delhi Daredevils that they can win over luck by putting in some head into it. Cheers team for that! And during that time period Dhoni coming at any commercials on TV was a sight of disgust to me. The new Sonata watch ad where in Tamil he had rendered a few lines in Tamil was the most irritating in the list after the boost ad where they depicted a beautiful word of English language as a devilish thing that pulled back people from achieving success and his lines were the most irritating when they had lost those matches. And leaving us to the third and the final place is the Pepsi ad. Wherein he ‘thinks’ himself to be a Chennai person. But frankly it reminds me nothing of a Chennai person. The ad maker must have gone through Chennai life for some more time before they decided upon this. Never mind, it’s too late now! But now I lost the irritation that was caused, the team is after all back on the right track.

So that’s all I want to say right now about IPL maybe after the tournament is over I will have something more to say about it. But till then there’s going to be more blogs there. I will greet you again with another exciting (I guess it is, isn’t it?) blog of mine,

Until next time,

Yours,

The Planning.....

Lately there has not been any significant incident in my life. Well but for one thing, I should agree the way we planned our excursion for this year…. So here are a few memories I want to cherish all my life long…..

Firstly, I have to admit one thing to you readers, the excursion I am talking about will happen not earlier than July end! Though since we are in the tenth grade and after this year we can no longer be the same class again for we will be separated according to each one’s dreams next year, we want this year’s trip a total fun filled no fussy and happy one! And as they say a lot of planning has to go in for that! And so we’ve started planning it very early! And I know it’s a bit too early but blame our anxiety for that!

So the planning of the ultimate trip started way back than even this! About in the beginning of March! And we have been making ‘rules’ for the trip… no sleeping for more than an hour each day and not acting like nerds reading books (the books includes only story books!) for more than half an hour a day are just a part of it! We have decided even what clothes to wear and what things to bring! Well, though we feel that this is a bit too early to think of something that is going to happen at least two months from this month, we are so into it we don’t mind even this!

The plan also, as usual, includes irritating people whom we don’t like and showing off our newly got (or in some cases even borrowed) assets, like a sleek latest mobile or costly jewelry and all that, to people who are named as braggarts by us! How could it possibly exclude food and drinks? And of course a party at the hotel! A little bit of scaring the teachers? A little bit of a show off fight with our enemies? And we are still not done with it! It’s a long process isn’t it? And maybe it was the right time to start the planning so early after all! We could always avoid last minute fights on what should be done there when things are well planned revised and re-revised!

And I don’t know why but we have a strange intuition this trip of ours is going to be the best we could ever think of! With all the planning it’s been going through and the effort we are taking on it, it’s a sure success! Well let me see I am having intuitions already! And the next thing I am going to do is have a countdown for the all exciting day to come! Hmmm…, and that should be followed by a dream! I sure have a lot more work to be done! ;) So till the next ‘memory’ (as in the Tamil television soaps…..) this is Arthi waving a bye to you readers!
Until next time,
Yours,

The dashing Return....

Well here I am, “back with a bang”!!!! Hope you enjoy the posts…! Well I was thinking about what to start writing and I thought ‘why not just an introduction to this?’… And so here it is! Just sit back, read and enjoy….!

Deserted, a very negative expression! And yeah the main key of this blog is to visit those deserted places placed down in your heart, deep deep down! Places you never even knew existed! Take a tour of your own heart and you will find that you have missed out remembering all of the sweet memories you had in your life……! Say the time you first used the phone. The flaws you made then, you would not want others to know about it, but you can by all means remember it and cherish the mistakes you did then which made you such an expert in using the phone now! Or make remembering things easier! Take your adolescence! You wanted all the recognition and you did all that you could! Put aside the success part, you did enjoy doing them didn’t you? Stop traveling in your stereotyped life journey, take a turn and travel through the wonderful times of joy in your life….. things you missed remembering! Take a tour of your heart! It will take a long time, No doubt, but it’s worth taking up that time! You need not feel for it later! As for the young people like me, remember every single moment you cherish! It needn’t necessarily be the moment you succeeded but also the moment when you brought in a smile in another person’s face without hurting a person, or the moment when you brought in glory to your institution, parents and teachers! Why them all? Even the moment you helped your dear person with their work … just remember them and you will cherish this for life long….!

The main idea of this blog of mine is to share with you people what different moments I cherish and to be an inspiration for all you readers! So that you feel later, “Whoa! Man did I miss remembering all this!!! So people common let's remember our joyful moments! After all it’s a short life to live with a lot to cherish!!!!

Until my next post,

Yours,

Arthi Appathurai…
