I hate to be taken for granted!

grrr.... I sometimes want to just tell the other person how I actually feel. But either it ends up hurting them and making them feel guilty to do things for me next time or end up hurting myself in the process!

I have closed in so much!!! Man! gimme a break you know! sheesh! last year was a spectacle why continue it this year??? I am enjoying it but breakaway free... sigh!

Every step hide hide hide...

They forced me to shift into new blogger. I couldnt log in to the old blogger....

Snow Angel

24 January, 2007


It SNOWED....!!!

fLAKES of Ice, Cold and WarM at the same time... Cold, my ass is freezing. Warm to be with frnds freezing our asses together. Susie threw a tantrum, she wanted to do the freezing all by herself!

And hence the pic!

Pri went crazy... Her first encounter with snow and BOy! did she welcome it with arms wide open! She was like missile woman... Weapons to destruct... Pathetic aims shaky because everyone was doubling with laughter.

Tij dedicated to create a snowman(i think he changed his idea to a taj mahal for miss.meow in the middle but ended up Indianizing it by making it look like 7Stones!!!)

Rahul- voice mail... grrr...

Shashank, I wish Sneha was there with us. Sneha Snow for u!!! the post dedicated for u!

Serendipity... Dreams come true!!! It will.

I usually dont like waking up people who are sleeping. But I could not not wake up people. I had a damn good reason. "Freaked" out on a wednesday!!!:-) dint go for the walk though, yet!

After an hour and more of snow falling and falling all around you, HOT CHOCOLATE... stimulating the senses... We do know how to do that!!! :-)

I actually dusted off SNOW from my shoulder. Always wanted to do that. Tried catching snowflakes like bubbles in the circus. . .

Puma :P to you now... Our footprints will remain etched right next to yours!!!

Imagination

21 January, 2007


I dream alot. Mostly Day Dream. jobless,slightly sleepy, in a boring class, or while taking essay break(no kit kat- no more eating chocolates!) A closely related situation is moulded into scraps of my life and made to fall into those exact jigsaw puzzles. Exactly the way I want it to happen, the way I want it to be.

The themes are never ambiguous. The settings are well-sketched. But the places are not recognisable by their names. It is the experience is what counts. Faces were fit, personalities suited to my style. Audio has always been clear but not over-shadowing the theme. it flows like the wind over the sea. Ripples shuffling through the waves.

This is the power of imagination. It transports you to a place no one else can be, no one else can see and you are the only one controlling it all. Mesmerizing!!!

Mom

18 January, 2007

Many people tell me so oh great your mother single- handedly brought you up and actually sent you to London by herself. Once you get back you will show the whole world that what a great job she has done by bringing you up in this way- independent and responsible to take charge of your life. You will be the result of what your mother has given up or worked for.

I do not know whether I am being rude here or impassionate but my mother has never told me that me going to London, working my ass off, making millions is going to make her proud than anyother parent. She has never once said that what I do reflects the fact of how she is as a parent or that I should do greater things to prove to the world that both of us did make a life without everyone's approval. Accepting this jus demeans the fact that we did this to make our own life for no other reason but ourselves. Not for any other person, not to make anyone else happy or show to anyone that we can stand on our own. Hence, the pressure to do well, from my mother was never there. I still do not feel that I am doing what I am doing for my mother. I am doing this for selfish reasons an even if at this point, God forbid, I mess up my life in anyway I do not think my mother will be any less proud of me or care about anything but us!

I think that my mother is more proud of the fact that I am the person I am because of her. Careers, money and nothing else matters. If I was an event manager gettin 15thousand a month(which can be considered less) and still be the person I am, I am sure she will be proud of me.

Why is it that parents being Proud of their child comes out of "where you are and how much you make???" they love you whether u are screw up or not...

One day Akbar asked Birbal to bring in front of him the mmost beautiful child in the province.
Birbal was quite stumped at the task but went out into the streets but couldnt judge any child.
Next day he brought the most dirty looking kid, hair disheveled and her mother to the court.
He presented her to Akbar and said after searching he found her to be the most beautiful baby in the place.
Akbar astonished at how horrible the kid looked exclaimed, "she is the most ugliest child I have ever seen in my life!!!"
Hearing this comment the subservent Mother of the kid,whose head was bowed in front of the king raised her voice and shouted, "WHO dares call my child ugly? She is the most beautiful and intelligent kid in the world."
Akbar realised then that for every parent their child is always the best, however you may look...

So however badly you screw up your life you can never say that ure ever alone when everyone has left u!

me and the hob

Finally its out of the way!!!

I get obssessed with something. I need it. I am not satisfied with whatever I might be having at that point of time. I guess its a good quality... Extremes are not .. but when the obssession finally feeds you then why not??? ;-)

I made Vendakay Sambhar yesterday!!! It was tangy and slightly watery. Dint think I would make it perfect the first time. I dint. But I am happy... Once more and I think I should be fyne with the measurement!!!

Why I dont get obssessed with other things I wouldnt know!!! hhhuuummmm..... Probably I should!!!

I dont understand why I feel so strongly about this stupid Pongal.

My dad called and wished me and he paati had made my favorite dish!!! and now I am more upset... sheesh I never gave two hoots about Pongal of all festivals in Chennai other than the fact that it gave me an extra day off from college!
(which in Christ, I hated. You could find me in shine or edge on a holiday with the same set of frnds from college!!! )

Stupid relatives and hundred problems and I dont freaking care... still it comes to bite my bum!! aaaarrrggghhh!!! I wanted payasam and I dont even like it that much, actually at all. . .
I got nightmares of them! thanks to suri... (not ure fault de!!!)

I shouldnt let this piss me off. . . I dont understand these things pissing me off??? weirdo!!!

I want karumbhu... and nice Rajini movie... grrr... I cant take it when something I want doesnt happen... I need to control... keep things under control more like it! Great expectations in Moderation... humbug moderation... grrr...

I dont understand why I feel so strongly about this stupid Pongal. Stufid Pongal...

*Esoteric audience*

11 January, 2007

Drops cascading down to the ground
In a rush we are all in
It stops us dead on our tracks
And run for cover.

Sheer force of will
Will not stop nature
Taking its course to shake us out
Out of the massacre
A part we are.

The far away rumble
Reminds us of days bygone
For earth cannot live long
When mankind in slumber we will tumble

*Down pour and the sunshine after that. . .*

blog space!

It was first only a new version of blogger BETA (why not beti???) where change was exciting. I was too lazy to shift to the new version and I had already customized this blog to my liking. So revamping was not on my agenda.

This gave me a push to open another blog. One that is attached to my gmail and I realised that I just do not feel like having everything in this world (talkin mostly about the web world!) integrated into one. You open gmail-orkut-blogger. Its jus not me. I have no concrete reason why I dislike this arrangement but I do. Yesterday, blogger could not be accessed at all. Reminds me of Inching towards the kill. . .

I have my gmail, my orkut is through yahoo and blogger is different. Its like having studied in school, college and post grad you find different friends and though they are similar in ways you cant imagine you'd like to and have given them different kind of space.

I do not want to change! I like the way my blog is now!!!

Chemistry

10 January, 2007

How can you in one second snap out of the brilliant chemistry that you had with a person for so many years?
Its fascinating that one day it is something your proud of and the next moment its something you feel never existed.
I am so unpredictable cant expect life to be, right!?!

Tried my fav mashed potatoes with yogurt... after a lotta heated sessions, finally nailed it.
Everything takes time and every event has variables determining how they will take shape and end!

Cheers!

Live in to die(today with accent)

06 January, 2007

The joke "We were in love and then we met" is very true.
If ever you want to dump ure boy friend or girl friend please live with them.

No more comments.

Nothing to do with love

I am just happy for no reason at all. I am smiling and smiling to myself. I think I have suddenly found myself more amuzing than before. This is like taking the whole love yourself and also love thy neighbour(he is a taiiiiiwaaanneessseee.. not a better effect than the japanese!! guys too ;-) a wee bit too far!!!

The previous phase thing as someone actually said DID pass by! Not bad when certain things which are intangible and based on faith and belief come true once in awhile atleast. They all do waver at times but the greater force of self preservation always wins.

Aaah I had nice dinner in tasty lahore place and walked back with the thought of the world still moving with respect to the most beautiful moon in the clear sky!
I remembered one of the songs that unni used to sing which I love. . . and I got full inspiration to keep the heading of my blog as you can see it now...
Amuzingggg!!!

ONO
(Over 'n' Out - maaroed from a frnd!!!)

Pangs

04 January, 2007

I was on my own now. I did not miss home and I accepted the fact that I might one day. I still do not feel the need or want to get back to the life I once had. I never could actually say honestly that I missed anyone from India. Not my mother. Ofcourse you miss people in general cause they were fitted in the jig saw routine in your life. Probably I will miss walking in to the room and find shashank on his computer.

You miss people because you are completely on your own in an unknown land. I must say I think I adapted quite fast. I used to hate(not like walkin. I was used to having my bike running around for me) walking and now I don't mind. And its not about the non-existance of another mode of transport or money saving or anyother reason but that I like it now... I also cant personally accept the fact that I can be so stiff??? that word doesnt even begin to describe the way I feel. I mean I have lived with my mother my entire life and I cant merely shrug it off by saying that she was one of the pieces in a game that I needed at that point in my life. None of them for that matter.

I had a dream last night. My mother told me that I had become very fat and a lot of static in between. In the end I did wake up from my sleep to find that I was on my side of the bed in Bangalore, facing the horse rack (as my mother calls it) which is always filled with clothes used, not used washed and dirty(cause of me, obviously!) and I was elated. I could feel the happiness. I have felt like that just one time in my life before and I know the difference. I was so happy that I opened my eyes and found myself staring at a white wall so close to my face that it wasnt any place for the horse rack.

I turned around and saw the heap on Shashank's bed soon stopped by another white wall.
I am searching for faces. Sheets. . .

Common Things beside the Room

03 January, 2007

Now where do I start about this group? I think we are the "fun" bit in collective word dysFUNctional!!! For starters we meet in the common room! tv distracts the table tennnis game and food brings us together (other than that we all try and tire out rahul in that game but no score!!!)

The whole lot of us that adores the words that flow out of Tij's mouth have kinda pushed it too far by trying silently yet desparetly to take the crown of PJ king! Burger king atleast would have filled our stomach!(Mac D anyone?) he he he

Chef Queen and Sef Sasank(shailee and susie have gone home for christmas) are like the next in line! they make the cake and eat it too... :-) they feed the tired souls who could finish a horse if they dint love horses or are vegetarian!

I am tryin to describe the others and I realise that one year is just not enough! anyway ...
The white "old watchman's cap" and the voice behind it (and not to forget the unstoppable laugh! and i thought i was bad!!) he has a freakishly long lasting stamina to play tt (boost? ever ready battery? whaaaa???)

Pavithra and Lax (who doesnt like the X in his name only factor in his attitude!) dances well but doesnt wanto accept it. Somebody present him a mirror! and its not ballet!!! ;-) ure reputation is not damaged) complete the tamil (mahila?- remember the barn dance gender-bender confusion???) society! one who speaks Shutha palakaatu tamil, one who tries and one who has had enough of it(i think!)!!! ;-)
and ofcourse me... i am waiting for someone to write abt me now in their blog! ;-)

Adios!

In da hous

02 January, 2007

tra la la
hum hum da dum... doce do with your partner! mmmm la la laa the lead couple criss cross!

after a rather tiring one hour of barn dancing and smiling for pictures endlessly the rising devils took off from west harrow in the dream of catching a bite in taste of lahore, no chennai dosa, no taste of lahore its near, no west harrow restraunts are nearer cuz we are after all in west harrow, no wembley central chennai dosa. Chennai dosa it is.

Dint touch in had to touch out. Wrong wrong. it was suppose to be free after 9.30 blooodddy hell. I am not gonna lose the maximum fare on the day when i thought it will be free. Northwick park. Home so near yet so far. Comfort vs the harsh cold emptiness of the growling stomach that can be calmed right beyond that border. those doors. open open open. . .

back to the station west harrow. Touch and go! go to find some punks had jumped out of the tube and pissed the driver. stuck again. Police walk in and walk out. we finally get to Northwick park again. Same feeling of gravity. I resisted it. This is a fight and I bloody well needed to win. Doesnt mean that i need to talk my way thru it. silence.

yenna kovamma? ille dah, pasee hmmm... chocolate coated bread! crisps never caught the taste buds in my tongue, good one less fatty substance that was the last time I was gonna have chocolate. Resolution. dont want to talk about it. they dissolve in importance. like many things in life.

singing in the tube, Sliding Priya, yelling japanese, jumping tubes, half the stations closed. time running out,
countdown became our step.
step 1 : 10
step 2 : 9
...........

step 9 : 2
Happy new year. The moment passed, whizzed us by! the minute travelled slowly in a millisecond.
It always happens. Never there when you really need.

What am I doing here in London without being in India with my family?
-- I would have been watchin a movie on tv.
Are you cryin?
-- No. this is perfect night ... lights and water with the buzz of fireworks.
You know what? I am not thinking anything right now! My head is blank, white sheet. Nothing lasts forever!
-- how can that be? gimme one year. No a lifetime and I will show you forever.
but you are right my mind is blank as well.
how can that be? is he missing anyone from back home? I am not. thats somethin in his head! how can that be?

then came the cream that tops the whole desert of an experience. songs with guitar! rahul his voice is like heaven! croon swoon and sway till someone dropped to fall asleep.
I forced people to stay awake for the sunrise
beautiful sky... I wanto pee!!!
uff... jus another year!
Cheers!
