New Year’s Eve

Here is the last day of this eventful year, 2004.It was eventful for me personally and otherwise too, some good and some not so good.
Anyway the wheel of time is rotating, as always and we go up and down with it…
That’s for the philosophical part of it…
I was thinking about New Year resolution and stuff. I never ever believed in it. If you are going to take a resolution why do you need to wait till an occasion? It needs to be taken then and there when you feel you are for it. I’ve also heard New Year resolutions don’t last long. It cant. It is a simple psychology. I don’t want to elucidate on that.
We got a subject called DSP, handled by Mr.Sudhakar. He says DSP is an acronym for “Degree Stopping Paper” in other colleges, whereas in our college it is “Doing Something Phenomenal”. No comments.
KD almost confirmed that we were going to have a New Year party in her new unoccupied house, but her GRE prep has come in between, so some other time…. She decided and got our appointments on 1st of January, 2004.
Today we had a series of speeches in the Prof Com hour. Guys are so chauvinistic. That is sick. But there is a golden rule they are forgetting. That’ll be the thought for the day today…
So happy New Year folks…
Thought for the day:
A place, where women are not honoured, will never see prosperity


In fact this quote is substantiated by the Tamil epic, Silapathikaram which says one of the three truths for a life is “Uyarndhor pathiniyai yethuvar”.

"Doing something phenomal" was nice.
But knowing what something to do requires phenomal work.May be this was passed.
I think this chauvinism is a word to be erased from the dictionary .
I can say a punch dialogue like this,the one word I never liked in english was chauvinism.
If you think a little deep you can find that it is politics at its highest level

Messy!

You could call some days happy, some sad, some even in-between.   For me, today has been a messy day, till now.   After breakfast, I decided to have a lime & mint juice, and somehow manage to feed my salwar too.   For the afternoon lunch, the soup I had was coriander & garlic soup. I am this person who cannot talk without gesticulations. I was rattling a lot of non-sense to Vidya, my team-mate and friend, while having soup. No prizes for guessing, I spilt the soup all over my salwar and some on Vidya’s too. Yikes. Before you start wondering what a messy person I am, I usually concentrate on my food religiously, not letting go off even one morsel’s taste away. I love eating tasty food, and consciously enjoy the gustatory sensations they transmit.   Now here I am, smelling of a combination of Eva Deo + Archies Chill! Perfume + lime + mint + coriander + garlic.   God bless my cubicle-mates.

Lokmanya Tilak and a young couple

Date :Sometime in December 2005 Time :11:00 Pm Place: Aboard the Lokmanya Tilak Kurla Express train Once when I was travelling back to Cbe, this happened. I was alloted a side upper berth....Nearby there was a young newly wed couple...ONe of their seats was right under me...and the other was in the adjacent bay, side lower. When I was about to start to the slumberland...that newly wed guy told me, "i dont have my mobile now, could you please keep an alarm in your mobile for 3:00 AM and wake us up..We have to get off at Salem" "Ya, OK..no probs...", I told. And the wife slept in the side lower under my berth and the hubby in the adjacent bay... At 3:00AM, my mobile Sang its "we will rock you"..I promptly woke...Tried to reach the girl from my berth itself and wake her..It wasn't possible...So i got down, woke that girl up..and went back to my berth... I kinda lost my sleep. I heard the girl getting up and waking her hubby...he told, "Salem is half ...

What a year!

Hi folks, After my starting to blog, this is the longest hiatus I've taken, not without reasons though. Lots of changes in life this year and they gave me a hands full. Used to be in India. Not anymore. Used to be working. Not anymore. Used to be single. Not anymore. In a span of 20 days in July, I got married(to my best friend), quit my job, moved to another country and started going to school for my Masters studies. So, you see, I had little time for everything else. Initially, I started blogging to share/record my experiences, ramble about any random feeling I might go through, just to yap any sense/nonsense. But now that I have my hubby to whom I do all these things to, blogging has not been so very necessary for the same purposes in the recent past. But I do want to keep writing. Maybe with a different flavor. Here's a hi5 to my restarting blogging!
