Hi all..
This might sound like a lot of cribbing...
As mentioned in the previous post...
-cold..
-then viral fever...
-then I tried my new slippers i bought in B'lore on Janmashtami, and they have given a bloody wound on my feet, so am with a band-aid...
-then yesterday when i was probing into my pouch for getting a pen or something, a blade cut my finger deep(then just remembered that I had put it in like 6 months ago..)so a band-aid in hand too...(gosh, it isnt comfy to type anything excluding your right hand index finger..crib)
Today i heard Devi telling that there is a pop myth that when your birthday is nearing, you are more prone to getting injured...So maybe thats why:-)Just kidding...
So if at all,any of you people have forgotten my birthday(a rare probabillity though.;-)), it's two weeks down the line..13th sep...
Okidoci..

Tough proportions
Well, this is a separate post about my train journey, because I was disturbed by something that I decided to write about it exclusively.
We were playing cards, when suddenly we could hear some clapping sounds from adjacent cabins, and whiz...our friends(only the guys) just quickly put their cards down, and ran off. I was just clueless. Then came the person into our cabin clapping all the way. Then I realized (s)he was a eunuch. But still clueless why our guys would run off like that.
When I noticed her (Let me use the female nouns and pronouns), she was going to cabin after cabin, literally marauding the men and managing to frisk away money from them. And she din't even turn to the side of women or old people. The victims were only men, young and middle aged. And when men refused to part with money, she threw obscenities at them and did some lewd gestures, disgusting enough that men just threw away their money, hoping she would just leave. What happened was, at a regular interval of about 45 min, a different eunuch kept coming, much to the horror of men.
Ok, now I realize why our friends ran away like that.
This was the first ever time I had seen such a bizarre thing happening.Boy was it frightening, to see people helpless.
It was disgusting. I was thinking like, what, dont we even have the freedom to travel in a train peacefully? Can't anyone do anything about it?
But as an after thought, when I think why would these people do this...a disgusting form of pilfering...bringing themselves down with their damnable actions, ditching their dignity and self-respect, i come to realize that they have no other go, perhaps.
Had the society given them their rightful claim to a normal life, would they not have resorted to such an abject plight?
Yes, they are different, very much indeed. So whats the big deal? Have we not sophisticated ourselves to call handicapped people as differently-abled or specially-abled? So why don't we accept these people too...
Of course, nothing can change over night. But still we can take steps. Steps in the sense, we've heard of women and men self help groups, why not for these differently created ones too? I guess(only guess) that they would not be accepted into normal governmental services with ease. So I think some measures can be taken by the government to educate and induct them into the society gradually so that they dont bask in a separate identity and lead a miserable life. I am just putting forth my views, maybe they can't(won't) mingle with the society, i don't know.
OK, so long then...

A travelogue
Hi all,
Well, I had one great weekend, at Bangalore.
Went there on official purpose, which was a success.
Then had two days of absolute fun and shopping spree.
Okie, now to the full account of my visit to B'lore:
12/08/2005:
Got up at 3, and went to Coimbatore city junction by 4:45, picking up Ramya, Sumedha and Kruthika on the way. All together, 9 of us went.
Sandwich guys were already there.
Boarded the lokmanya Tilak Kurla express. We chatted all the while in the train. Had lots of fun. The guys taught us how to play "5 cards" and we all(9 of us) played that for like 3 hours...and guess what I was the grand loser in the game to cross 300 pts first....hehe...great going..(actually that was due to my early loses when I hadn't yet caught the game's nuances properly..)
Reached Bangalore at 1:15pm, a good 45 min late.My uncle had come to pick us up.
Had lunch at Swati palace.
Took a bus to ITPL, and man, what a traffic jam out there, all due to numerous fly-overs being built in the city.
Landed at ITPL at around 4:50 , 20 min well behind the schedule. Had the meeting, went on great. Looked around the place. A cool place to work in.Boy, was I just awe-struck..
Then went to a crampy place called kalasipalya to send off Ram, Sume and MK.
Reached my uncle's house around 11:45 pm. And had a yummy Puri with green peas masala my aunt had made, and we called it a day.
13/08/2005:
Enjoyed to the fullest with my cousins, Namita and kartik, who are in 5th and 2nd std respectively.
They are crazy of me and Priya, and we are even more crazier of them.
Went to Bangalore central and Garuda Mall...Cool places...but the thing was I could only window shop..:-)
Neway bought some stuff...reached home late.
14/08/2005:
Okie, today was also almost as same as yesterday, only that the places I visited was Big bazaar and The Forum.
Had my aunt's tasty vegetable biriyani.
15/08/2005:
Happy independence day...
Caught 6:15 intercity express and reached Coimbatore at around 1:30. Haa, felt great to be back to home sweet home. Grubbed my mom's mouth-watering dish of mushroom biriyani. Dad and mom felt lonely without us, it seems.
Well, this is my little travelogue(I really doubt it'll pass as one though).

My Experiments with Life
Now guys,
What I meant about the relationship between Dominique and Roark being perfect is the kind of understanding they have and the "birds of same feather" intimacy. My emphasis was on the inner harmony these people enjoyed. I did not take into account their ethics, who married who, etc, which was not my motive in the dissertation(??chumma, never mind).
Nevertheless, When you take the physical person Dominique is and her marital fickleness, she is a ......hmm...let me preserve the dignity of my blog.
Hi Sathya, that is a relationship better ought not to be, I agree to that when i look at the polyandry, denial and stuff. But when you look deeper into just the two of them, that is the relationship that ought to be. Forget that Wynand and Keating even exist. Then what I say might make sense.
I am not at all seeing the ethical point of the plight and turns of their relationship, only the emotional point. This is an abstraction that i am taking into account, for my discussion.
Hi Jugg, I dont like th e Roark character in and out. He is not my idea of a perfect man. By this statement I dont mean that lesser mortals and pseudo-objective men as perfect, only that everyone has his/her own idea of a perfect being. So I just like some part of his character.
Well, does this post sound so vehemnt...or anything...i dont know. i just felt I needed to explain my stand and defent my statements...
Okidoci..
So long then...

Everything else is superflous...
Hi all...
I just completed reading Fountain Head by Ayn Rand. An amazing book, in the sense that it strikes truth on your face. It presents the raw facts about human psychhology in the most explicit manner. But I think the existence of a man like Howard Roard is a very remote possiblity in today's world. Nevertheless i admire something of his character. I loved especially his testimonial in the court the 3rd from final chapter. Very enlightening.
In that book, the relationship between Roark and Dominique, or that between Gail Wynand and Roark or that between Wynand and Dominique is a perfect epitome of how it should be. Thats my idea of a relationship. As such there has never ever been a need for words between the these 3 pairs to understand each other. They are perfectly compatible and harmonised in their thoughts and ideals. When there is a harmony of such fashion between people in any relationship, words are superflous.
I find myself searching for words in certain emotional moments. I dont really express anything sensible verbally in such a situation. I just keep mum. But my actions and countenance do convey what i really mean and hold. I was thinking that I am incapable of handling very emotional situations. But I think now that words are superflous for me with people whom I hold dearest in certain moments. Or I expect them to be feeling so too.
Well..I have a feeling i am writing too much about myself in my blog.So if anyone were to read my blog in and out, he/she would get a really good idea of what I am. So am I an open book ..sorta? Is it a good thing, I am skeptical. The readers comments pleaase.. So maybe I should write more about other things.
Other things later...
Bye

Variety is the spice of life
Hi all..
I was cleaning the house and came across a lot of used and empty deodarant cans...
Well...coming to think of it...it struck me that I've never stuck on to one brand...every time i shop for my deo...its a different one...
My deo list(as much as i can recollect) is:
Rexona(the first one i used...wen in 8th std)
ponds
Fa
El Paso
Axe.(pheoenix)(ok ok i know its for guys...but i liked that masculine fragrance so much that I dint mind using it)
Remy
Eva
yardley
Nivea(the current one..)
It's not that I am not satisfied with anything....It is my fundamental urge to try out everything and find the best...Also I believe that .variety is the spice of life.
For the same reason, I find myself reconfiguring my living room and bedroom once in 3 months...reconfguring in the sense...just reshuffling stuff and rearranging couches, tables, wardrobes, cots, dressing table, dining table, tv, refridgerator, etc...
It always gives a sense newness...And also we can analyse the best and worst part of each configuration...well I actually am interested in designing homes and stuff...I have a couple of detailed plans and elevations made in the first year...
Know something?..Engineering drawing was my v v favourite subject in first year....I just loved that subject, the reasons and techniques..and all. I even thought perhaps I shd have taken up Civil Engg or architecture..By the way, I got 98/100 in the that subject....:-)
Hey i decided just yesterday that i would go on a "atleast 60% natural" diet...lots of fruits and veggies and stuff...but the problem is I am very very selective about vegetables....i just love potato...nothing incredible about any other vegetable...:-(..Should learn to eat vegetables..somehow..
Well then..
