Moved On..

Hello,

For who cares enough to visit.. I've moved to on in life..

The new blog is : Welcome to My Life

See you there! :-)

Jack of all trades

Thats whoI am!! Everyone around me (or lets just say most) make(s) fun of me!!! :-(

They say, "You???Haha!!!! You start something, and leave it half way..".. Sometimes with a sense of pride, when my mom says, "Oh! She has worked with people with every kind of disability"; but, I do sense the mockery in the tone!!!! They call me a true blue Gemini, and praise me, but, I sense the mockery.. Everytime, let me tell you.. Everytime!

In my defense, every class or new skill that I took interest in has not lasted 'coz my horoscope predicted I would have a problem with that new found skill in the near future, and if I din't shelve it, my family would be affected!!!

Actually, thats not right!! I always have a good enough reason.. Maybe these statistics will help:

- I had to quit learning Kalaripayattu, Shuttle & Guitar ONLY because of logistic issues.. I had no transportation!

- I had started theater in Mumbai, and we had an acting club, and I did a play too!! But, I came back to Chennai, and the theater scene here is pretty sad, so, it had to take a backseat - by Compulsion!!!

- I started jogging to the beach everyday, and thats been on for a while.. off & on maybe, but, its on! Its cheap, excellent exercise, I get my daily entertainment.. So, there! Thats something that I started, and is still on... (my mind atleast)

But, now I am on a mission in life!!!! I have found my purpose to live!!! A mission to prove everyone wrong!! With my recent appreciation for Hindustani Music.. I have started a class.. and my parents have a bet! Dad bets that I will take the class for a year (he has always been on my side), Mom simply laughed!!!! I am going to help dad win!!!!!

To all those who have scoffed at my determination, this is what I have to say:
"Be that way!!!! See if I care!!!! In your face!!!!!!!"

Muahahahahahahahaha!!!

I see the books on my shelf, and what do I see - The evil grin! Each book got an evil all-knowing smile! Do they know me that well? What a life I must lead that now, I get the evil grin from books.. Books I haven't finished reading.. Books I want to finish reading (some can just lie there, I dont mind! Hmph!).. Books I want to buy... But, the most evil grin comes from books I want to buy and are not in the store! This is the most frustrating, I tell you! Have you had that feeling? And then there are books I have requested for at Odyssey (the mall for books), and they are not here yet! Oh, I can be so bugged!

"But you know what? To all you books giving me the evil grin - I give you:

THE HAND!

Laugh at the Hand, you silly non-living, not hugely popular, probably not funny and most inane and lacking any literature sense, almost never available books, for it is your loss that you are not read by me! Hmph! There, take it back!"

By the way, I am looking for some humourous books.. Anyone got suggestions? And please lets avoid Chetan Bhagat - cant stand that dude! And suggestions apart from Henry Cecil and P.G.Wodehouse, and not comics.. I am considering another Calvin, but him apart.. any suggestions?

As you can see, I need entertainment in my life.. Heck! I am talking to myself on my blog now! I mean, sad enough I talk to myself, but, now, I torture you by talking to myself, and you come to my blog, and read it, and then at the end of it find that I need suggestions?!?! I need many kinds of suggestions at this point in life, I think.. So, suggest away!

About Me..

What does one write in the 'About Me..' section? Its an inane question / statement, come to think of it.. It has no particular purpose, because most of us sane folks know we can't trust what people write there.. I find it more an obligation, rather than a piece of information..

Dig these 'About Me..'s:
-" Personality? You think I have one", says P on a website..
- "I am funny, spontaneous, and great looking" - Sure, but, name one more person who agrees with you!
-"About me- well, get to know me, and if I don't know you, don't bother" - If this is not the height of inane-ness, what is??????

I guess I could go on and on and be this sarcastic woman.. but, from a practical standpoint, really, this is silly / absurd/ ridiculos / immature & frivolous!!

A child called Bh..

I miss him.. He is 9 years old, and is going to standard 5 now.. He stays in Trivandrum.. I met him recently, during a summer camp that mom & I ran for 21 days.. During the entire camp, he made me think so much and so hard about activities that would at least challenge him.. He cooked me a meal one day, and brought it in his lunch box that he normally took to school.. He learnt to draw dragons and make them evil enough with blue & red colors splashed all around.. We spoke every other day about the issues that bugged him and tried to think of ways to solve them amicably.. He didn't always agree to my solutions, but, he did give them a try.. He understood my point of view, which amazed me.. He played cricket like he was Dhoni.... He conducted a quiz on the last day, and wanted his parents to be a part of it, as they would have beaten anyone hollow in G.K.. He told his mom that he loved her...

& then, came the time for me to leave the city..

He gave me a hug.. a long tight one.. We promised to keep in touch.. He got my email id on my card, and checked 10 times with his mom if she kept it safe in her purse.. He said he would mail me that night.. He fell ill the day we left, had a bad fever, cold & cough.. I haven't spoken to him since I came, with the fear that I may miss him more than he ever missed me..He had touched me so deep, it is tough to let go.. I left Trivandrum without a tear, 'coz I didn't want to be-little anyone, including myself.. I believe he sent me an email today.. Mom has asked me to call him.. He is only a kid.. but, he is a great kid.. a kid who should be filled with fun, laughter & loads of friends, but.. people are a strange species, I tell you!

Nature in its element..

Am grateful for the last 2 days, for having got a beyond life experience of watching nature in its element, and being able to appreciate it...

-My friend S and I were by the beach.. chatting away, while enjoying the music of the waves & delving into the space of the vast ocean, and we spotted something at a distance.. We thought it was a Pirates ship (talk about a wild imagination).. we could see parts of it.. a few seconds later, we saw a large round object.. The rising moon, turned orange, and moved at a surprisingly fast pace.. S had an interesting perspective on how fast the earth & moon had to be moving, and here we were, stationed at earth having no clue about this event everyday.. The highlight definitely was:
2 friends gossiping..
in sinful joy..
rising moon orange & white..
awestruck in thought..
a galactic perspective..

- Back at her place.. post a movie about magic & the tragic end of Houdini.. we steal a few moments with nature in the sit-out.. and its lightning & thunder.. raining like crazy.. and we were thinking, "This is like our personal tube light.. Thank heavens the tube light won't come 'on'".. I am petrified of thunder & lightning.. and was definitely happy to be indoors 'enjoying' nature, and being scared out of my wits.. Choose not to think of others like me who are petrified without a shelter over their heads...

Broke..Bloke..Break..Brake..

Broke is not a good feeling to be in, I can say that today! I feel like screaming my guts out, and only hope that no-one hears me scream! Being broke in college was a very different feeling though - you can always walk up to Dad & Mom and say you need more money.. & In school, I got pocket money!! Now, being broke is like hitting rock bottom! But, the point that hits me most about being broke is the reason - I have not overspent my money.. I am not an excessive shopper either.. I closed my credit cards too.. I am broke 'coz I invested all I had into something I believed in.. into something that made sense to me.. and though end of it, it was a fantastic experience, I am left feeling so priceless! (I made a joke of that, go figure!) :-)

Bloke.. Read something about apples at the top of the tree & bottom of the tree.. and how men are like grapes.. and how the apples at the bottom of the tree are picked first while the ones at the top are the best.. but the ones at the bottom squash the life out of the grapes that the grape thinks that the apple at the top may be nice afterall, which is in fact true, and turns out, I am an apple at the top of the tree!

Break - I just had.. but, I want a break in my professional life! Gimme a break man! I want some orders in my name now.. I want to make some good business, so it makes sense to me again.. I have to get the ball rolling again!!

Brake - I want to brake... cant complete this sentence!

Any more B words u got for me? I like this game suddenly..
