Two Classes, A Bummer and A Night Out

Hello all you beautiful people!!!! First of all, for all of you who're wondering what the rope picture is all about.....actually nothing!! :P Just that it's one of my most favourite photographs. I just think that there is a lot of perspective it....hmm. Anyway, i'm sure none of you got that. No pretending!! :D

That apart, today was a BAD day. In the sense that, i'm sore all over my body (youch!!) and my head's full of chem kinetics and applications of derivatives!!! ouch!! ouch!! n OUCH!! This is precisely coz i had class frm 12-30 to 8-30....i.e. left for class at 12:30. A huge foodie like me was forced, due to unpleasant circumstances, to survive on a single club sandwich for over EIGHT hours!!! :O :O :-| Now, ain't dat sad??? You Bet!!! Well, miracle is that i survived thru both the classes.....TRS classes are actually enjoyable but Santhanam!!!!! Whoa!!!! Its heights in mokkai!!!! Of course hez an awesome teacher n all dat.....he takes well also....but his so-called, supposed jokes........God save us!!! :O

Now, the impossibly abyssmal news is that, we don't get a break from TRS class in the summer! :((
And why is that you might ask......because believe it or not we don't get holiday coz he's not going for a vacation!!!! :O :O How d'you like that??!!!! And we're supposed to put up with 3 hour classes in scorching May!!! No vacation!!!!

Well, tat winds up the two classes and bummer part!!!!

Upside of the whole thing is that my cousin...remember shreya?? the one in the first post?? ....Yeah, she's here for a sleep over!!! :D.....So, i'm actually bringing this blog to shape while incessantly jabbing wid her. Its 1.35 on the clock and we're still chatting away to glory!!! :D So, my parents took us out for dinner tonight to the club. We had some awesome butter naan n paneer sabji !!! yum! hmm....and after dat....came home, switched the AC on and started gabbing!! I tell you....both of us are the Queens of the Gab!!!! :D

Okay, i wrote this post precisely because itz days since i blogged and thought that my blog deserved at least this minimal care. Until later, Adios!!

A Peek into My Supposed Vacation...:(

Owing to the awfully sexy weather we're having in chennai, i was curled up in bed with the Silence of the Lambs(by Thomas Harris) which i'm reading for the nth time, i might add. Pensive and plunged in thought about the psychotic, psychopaths and the intrinsic intricacies of the human mind, my mom's "ARE YOU STUDYING??" came as a rude shock, detonating (literally) in my ear. Cursing the phenomenal potency of her vocal chords, i proceeded to shout back that i was, while in the meantime i was shoving the book under my pillows!! phew!! narrow escape, that!!

The fact that i'm in the 12th now never ever fails to hit me BANG in the face. Books are my be all
and end all!! i'm simply obsessive about books and voraciously read more than what is healthy!! every vacation i have to read a minimum of at least 30 books. and now, suddenly, being told to abandon my insatiable appetite for reading for the seemingly "more productive" things in life like school work, IIT assignments, tests, revision etcetera to name a few, is more than what my psyche and intellect can possibly put up with! i don't even mind not blogging or not coming online as much as mind THIS!! :O :O

Now, you'd have probably guessed the genesis of this out-of-the-blue outburst of indignance. If you did not, this is the moment of truth....yes..i had the "talk" with the parental units at home. I'm really not willing to go into the insipid details of the now-that-you're-in-12th-u-better-get-serious lecture. NO! the gist of the sermon(:P) is that i'm supposed to give up all else other than anything under the "STUDIES AND KNOWLEDGE" banner for the whole of next year. For all you people out there, shaking you're heads and murmuring, "its just a year and of course, sacrifices have to be made" as you read this post...yea, yea i already kno all that and also know that it is only in my interest that these things have to be done. Nevertheless. What has to be, has to be.

*Update*
- i've qualified into all my IIT 2nd year classes...yaay! :D
Very tight Schedule
Saturday, Sunday - afternoon - Math
Monday, Thursday - evenings - Physics
Tuesday, Saturday - evening - Chem
Wednesday - evening - Physics classes
Wow!! i actually get friday free.....invariably it'll be spent either in special classes or at
home puzzling over extensively complex IIT probs.. :(
*End of Update*


well, to write of today, nothing very mind blowing happened....had trs class in the morning...a whole, solid 3 n half hours!! whoa!! i don't mind that much tho!! his classes are really fun...and NO i'm not a padipz and neither am i a pazham....so don't get any ideas!! :D

then in the evening, i barged into my atthai's house :D...and went to the madhava perumal kovil (yea, yea, chamathu iyer ponnu all the rest of it!! ;)). After that, however, i haven't done anything that's even remotely useful let alone contributing to increase my "knowledge". he he he!!

Ok, my brain thinks that i've let you in on my life enough and that the rest of the story should be
left till later. So, complying with my brain's request and acting under its threats to go blank, i sign off for tonight...:D

Of Innately Meandering Thoughts...

When the mind goes haywire....
--------------------------------------
On Monday, when the sun is hot
I wonder to myself a lot:
Now is it true, or is it not,
That what is which and which is what?
On Tuesday, when it hails and snows
The feeling on me grows and grows
That hardly anybody knows
If those are these or these are those.
On Wednesday, when the sky is blue,
And I have nothing else to do,
I sometimes wonder if it's true
That who is what and what is who.
On Thursday, when it starts to freeze
And hoar-frost twinkles on the trees,
How very readily one sees
That these are whose- but whose are these?
On Friday-
(sadly, this was never finished, due to an inopportune interlude...)

ok...now you might start to think i'm slighty off my rocker....but you see when your so bored, so bored, so bored that you actually read the international and business section of the newspaper and become genuinely worried about the rise and fall of the stock market.......this is the consequence. :|

right now i'm very happy....about what, i haven't the foggiest idea...but elated all the same. may be its the fact that i did my chem assgn well or may be it is because i'm actually gonna BUNK my english class tomorrow......oh my GOD!!
i should really tell you about this teacher called LV......she is THE most lackluster person you could EVER find to teach english to a class of briliant minds like ours...:O
One thing though.....she is actually awesome company if you want to research the psychology, philosophy and perspective of old english movies or classics....like something around the period of The Last Tango in Paris or Carnal. She'll go on and on and on about how she loved those movies as a teen n all dat...OH MY GOD!!!(chandler bing style ;)).

Anyways, to my immense relief and my mom's even more immense satisfaction, i thnk i've come up to date with ALL my studs. :O....Right now i'm actually wondering if i have anything, which falls in the "study" loop, pending. Happily, as far as my brain can reach out.....Nothing.

As far as comp. sci. goes.....i think i generally know wat files in c++ is about....the concept basically. But thr r these two most obtuse functions called get and put...about whose functions and usage i know nil. To get to know more though, i'll hav to browse thru C++'s most useless help column and try to navigate my way to get and put. Once that is done, all i hav to do is try and understand wat its supposed to do at least to a reasonable extent. Sounds simple enough. An easier solution would be to just call my bro and ask him about it. Surely he'd know. Well, he should know. :|

7:36 on the clock and i've managed to while a whole half day without doing anything productive. Well, its an inner battle between the my two frames of mind. Now.....a half of me says,
"WHAT???? u actually spent 5 hours 36 minutes and 43 seconds just doing nothing?? How much more redundant can you get? if redundant is the word i want. Now what is done is done....go now, RIGHT NOW and stick your nose in a book and STUDY for crying out loud!!!"
Another half says, "C'mon dude!! chillax.....what's thr to study...you've done all tht u had to...no pending work....no homework....and what's more after all that ^#%#&@@*&!*&@# you sure warrant time off to enjoy the better things in life rather than to sit with a bunch of books when your biggest problem in life will be whether to study the Lobry de Bruyn Van Ekenstein rearrangement or Wolf-Kischner reaction!!! :o :o".

Frankly speaking, the only way to end the war is to tune the wrong half of me and try and convert it to the right half. Now, the poser is choosing which half to tune........

Woes as of today....

It is not intentionally that i choose to begin my first post on a melacholy note...but i am helpless as it is by default that my life goes on the way it does and the things that hav to be, hav to be.
I'm home alone....majorly(ok..i kno that ain't a word in the english language) wasting my time when i'm supposed to be studying for my chem assignment tommorow.
Wat i did i do after coming frm skool?? showered, ate, watched tv, came online, talked over da fone, came online again....n am typing this completely useless blog which i doubt anyone'll ever read.....pathetic i know...!!
But right now after passing my 11th(:D) n moving into 12th which translates to hours of intensely mind-numbing physics, chem n math...not to mention evening-dates with undecipherable lines of code, i thnk i reserve the right to use(rather misuse) my time as i please. While i thnk of what more to scribble...

*Highlights*
- amazing weather, too sexy...jus right for footer or throwball!! :D
- physics assgn. today....wasn't too bad...expecting around 18+ on 25...we'll c
- oooh yea....iit coaching selections dis week....i thnk i shud get thru math n chem(*praying wid eyes shut*)
*end of hightlights*

My cousin shreya....shez gone totally mad!! :O...She, bhanu n abhiram 've come up wid dis crazy idea of wanting to fool their entire class!! i mean...c'mon..how jobless can u really get??? Anywayz, she asked me for some ideas n to her annoyance, i after much thought, reflection and brainstorming informed her that i could procure not an ounce of prank-material.
Well, u can't blame me can u?? i'm already looking dismally at the total mayhem my life's become!! :(
oops...i will also hav to talk to KSB about my physics classes....bin bunking so many of them tht i hav hardly a feeble chance of getting in!! Anyway, fingers crossed!!!
Right now i'm really really thankful to mom coz she's made it her personal mission to make me plan my day n stick to my plan!!! if it weren't for her...i'd hav bin doing precisely this yesterday, day before and the entire week before too!! :O :O
I think now i can safely go study chem, smug that i hav misused my time as i pleased and am moving towards the more dismal things in life out of my own, free will and NOT, i repeat NOT because i don't want to face my mom's condemning ok-why-haven't-you-studied glare.
Until i am done with structures and trends and get enough free time on hand to write another post, Astelevegos!!
