Bheege Bheege Mausam in Namma Chennai!!

Yes, folks!!! It's actually raining buckets...scratch tat....barrels in chennai!!! Not that anyone's complaining. The swell weather we're having the last couple o' days is a welcome relief frm the frizzling heat!! Only thing is, it should last. Varied speculation claims it will as the "monsoon" season in chennai has arrived....for the time being!! Say so coz weather here has bin so erratic, its advisable to expect the unexpected. Like downpour during agninakshatram....:).

My friend n i thought we'd exploit the super weather and went to the beach. All was well, until a cloud decided to burst right above us!! Well, obviously we were soaked and then it was Planet Yumm to the rescue!! We weren't in any hurry tho....jus put those vulnerable cellphones in and strolled in there(yea rite!!).....completely wet!!! Ouch.....i'll admit tat was majorly stymying!! We sat right under a fan so we (so to say i) could dry off, the effect being me shivering sans chattering teeth. While in the process, our tummies began craving attention(more my frend's!!). So a panipuri, pav bhaji and garlic bread were in order, dontcha think?? we did at least!! :P Me, being as drenched as i was, didn't have much of an appetite. And tat's saying something for me!! Tat didn't stop me frm eating tho. No way!

Finally, when we chance to look outdoors, we find the whole rain rigmarole has cleared up. Talk about things happening only to us!! Infuriating! And to top it all, jus when we stepped out, it began drizzling again!!!!! Hmpf!! If you got the impression tat i hate getting wet, chuck tat outta your head!!! I revel in water!! it's jus tat it's not very pretty to get wet when you're wearing this thin cotton kurta....if you get my drift!! Kurta aside, it was a smashing evening!!!

Jus for the record, my friend n i firmly decided against coming to the beach in our "super-sexy" weather. Nope!

Tag Me!!

Looooooooong overdue Tag-Board is finally here!!! :D Spent some time personalising it. Goes with the template don't it?? Fiddled around some more till it reached almost-perfection.

Well....no more blabbing.....basically all i'm saying is TAG ME BABY!!!!!!!!! Cheers!!

Check your Nerd-Potential!!! Take the Test!!

The Half-Blood Prince - Wat Else??!!

Well, well, well......two days since the much-awaited release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and i can still see my sis jumping on the couch going, "ooh!! itz here suru!! itz here!! so awesome!!!". Hehehe!!! I can see all those temme-about-it looks!!!

Spoiler: The following write up may contain information that if revealed (to fans who haven't read the book yet) will cause unfathomable consequences. So all of u yet to read...STAY OUT!! Tats if u don't wanna know wat happens! :D

Anyway, i finished the book sunday morning and i must confess, Rowling has excelled herself(in most parts anyway!!). The thing that sets this book apart is that there is a lot more explanation for things in the previous books than action and more action. You know, the things which made us go, "Hey!! how can tat happen??!!" or "Hmmmm......"!! In this book, we actually get to understand the working behind the evil, obnoxious, repugnant......sorry, gotta little carried away!! Oh yes...the working behind the malicious mind of Voldy. Also, why he didn't get killed when he cursed Harry, how he's been surviving for so long and how his followers and him hav plotted all this while!!! That's a LOT!!!

Now to scrutinise the not-s0-good parts. I really think that Rowling could have underplayed the Lavender-Ron snoggin-all-over-the-place thing. Lolz!!! Now that was beyond hilarious!!!!!! When i say Ron, read Won-Won!! ROTFL!!! That part of the book was grossly exaggerated. I mean, you turn 4 pages and there they are again!!!!!!! :) Best part is, they split even before the action began!!!!
Another aspect is Dumbledore. The man whom we've bin seeing as the quiet, laid back, contemplative head-master is suddenly pushed into spotlight. I don't mean his death. Its just tat i've grown used to him being so inconspicuous throughout the book and in the end he just comes and gives you this big-time funda and goes. Out of the blue here, he has this i'm-the-cleverest-wizard aura which doesn't become him too much. Admitted he is but....!!! Phrases like "me, being the clever wizard i am" or "since i'm cleverer than most men" pervade his usually unassuming style of speech. Now tat wasn't so good!!!
Well, the climax.....it's indescribable!!! It was just Brilliant!!! I actually cried when i read The Phoenix Lament and The White Tomb. And i don't cry that easily!!! :P We can actually feel that huge impact this character has made on every Potter fan. Each page of these chapters exudes the emotion and sentiment that people attach to Dumbledore. Kudos to Rowling here!!!
Me jus wanna say....all of you BETTER read the book!!! The bottom line is - its awesome!!! You'll enjoy every page of it!!!! Cheers!!!!!

HIE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well.......all of you jolted back by my hyper HIE!!! come back here!!! :D

Today's bin a GREAT day!!! No reason.....jus really really nice!!!! n i'm very happy, very hyper and grinning all day!!! :D Jus a teeny-weeny falling out and i'm NOT gonna let that spoil my hyper-excited mood!!

well.....i'd asked my frend to mail me some photos so i could show my other friends. He mails it and then forbids me frm sending to them!!! Arrey!!!!!!! howzzat fair???!! i'd asked for them precisely so that i could mail n show them!! Chuck it!! I don't even mind dat.....but then he gets all hyper and talks as if i'd jus do wat i want even if he doesn't like it!!! Wat a doofus!!!!!!! :O :O

on a nicer note, we had an essay competition today. me had to write on "I, Me, Myself" which i think i wrote kind of decently.....well...ok....it was royal crap!!!!! hehehe!!!!!! also came up with one of those crazy, inane, juvenile poems of mine!!! lolz.....my frend went, "you're crazy di....absolutely!! how do you come up with stuff like tat??!!!". I must confess, it was pretty amusing.....read ROTFL!!! :D

Cheers!!!!

Sip the Vodka!!! Woo !!

Check out!!! This one is sooooooo hilarious, i still can't stop laughing!!! :D

A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak.

After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done.

The monsignor replied, “ When I am worried about getting nervous On the
pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I start to get
nervous, I take a sip.”

So next Sunday he took the monsignor’s advice.
At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink.
He proceeded to talk up a storm.

Upon his return to his office after the mass, he found the following note on
the door:

Sip the vodka, don’t gulp.
There are 10 commandments, not 12.
There are 12 disciples, not 10.
Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.
Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.
We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior and the
spook.
David slew Goliath, he did not kick the shit out of him.
When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, don’t say he
was stoned off his ass.
We do not refer to the cross as the “Big T.”
When Jesus broke the bread at the last supper he said, “take this and eat it
for it is my body.” He did not say “ Eat me” .
The Virgin Mary is not called “ Mary with the Cherry."
The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for the
grub, Yeah God.
Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at ST.Peter’s not a peter
pulling contest at St. Taffy’s.

Of Obsessions.....

Main Entry: ob·ses·sion
Pronunciation: äb-'se-sh&n, &b-
Function:
noun1 : a persistent disturbing preoccupation with an often unreasonable idea or feeling; broadly : compelling motivation
2 : something that causes an obsession- ob·ses·sion·al /-'sesh-n&l, -'se-sh&-n&l/
adjective- ob·ses·sion·al·ly adverb

Hmmm....make what you will of that. That, dear friend, is what an obsession is according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. Anyway, the reason why i feel the need to blog about an abstract thought such as this is pretty complicated and i'm not so sure i know it myself. So let's jus spare it!!

Right now there is no short of obsessions in my life.....nor are my kith, kin and friends in any particular deficit of it. See, basically i'm obsessed with everything that's worth obsessing on. hehehe!!! ok ok....i know you think i've basically lost it and are gonna shut this window!!! Well...it's a democratic country. Suit yourselves!!!

Still reading i see.....well, where were we? Oh yes....Obsessions. Let me see, i talked to my friend about this and she was of the opinion that at any point of time in life, everybody has to have an obsession. Period!! Like take her case.
When she was 3 - teething toys. 8 - Lego Blocks. 13 - SV books (yuck!). 15 - the PHONE!!!. 17 - some smart-ass guy. And now......the same smart-ass guy!!! hehehe!!!

Ooookay!!! I can see those eyes narrowing and those fists clenching!!! Hold it mate!!!

Basically, i'm obsessed about something!!! About what....slight a let's jus chuck that!! It's just that it's been a passion ever since i can remember and now i'm being asked to hurl all of that outta the window!!!!! waaah!!! I did tell my mom. And my mom went "Hmmmm..." for such long time!! And protracted hmmms are NOT a good sign!! Well...anyway....she jus thought she'd better leave me to my antics lest i get it into my head to start bugging her for everything i can't find from pins to papers and umbrellas to underwear!!! She can't endure q's which start with, "amma...where is...."!!! hehehe!!!!!!!

Anyway, i guess as long as my obsessions, eccentricities and idiosyncrasies don't encroach in on the padipz territory of my brain......i will continue to have them and make the most of their vetti contribution!!!!! So there!!!!!!

Oye!!

ahem.....taking into account my previous post, jus in case some of you think i've gone on a major i'm-the-biggest-sadist spree......DON'T!!! i'm still the perfectly sane, normal, cheerful person!!! :D
itz jus tat....last night i was in a weird mood (no...i'm not entertaining any "aren't you alwayz"s!!) and decided to put up one of my best "rock" type compositions!!! hehehe!!! ;) Anywayz....i want the general op. so plz do comment!!!! cheers!!!!! (see!! i'm happy!!)

Prison Of Thought.....

Stuck where no one else can enter
Caged in my own misery
Left to fight with my own temper
Chained to the madness inside me

Sealed in a prison with no exit
Locked away in my regret
Trying to fend off my emotions
But they're too strong in my own head

I screamed out
With mute shout
But no one came to save me
I grabbed me
And stabbed me
In vain I tried to break free

Arrested
M olested
In blind rage madly I fought
But locked up
Now I'm stuck
In my own Prison of Thought

Wandering through the darkest shadows
Trying to escape this hell
Breaking down the walls to move on
Right into another cell

Tortured by sadistic pleasure
Bearing self inflicted pain
Trying to control the Anger
Building up inside my brain

STAR WARS: REVENGE OF THE SITH

Back wid a Bang!!!

Hola!!
I guess i'm blogging after quite a hiatus....well....that's thanks to the fact that my internet hours ran out and my dad, being the typical taurean he is, has firmly dug his heels into the ground and is refusing point blank to renew it. jeez!! anywayz...there just might be this tiny, teensy-weensy possibility that he might get me a broadband...on second thoughts, i better change it to an ADSL connection(as a friend of mine is constantly on my case abt this!!!) which i think is a pretty good reward for me being a good girl all thru!!! :D Hez basically considering this coz i've bin bugging him like crazy saying i have to do my external projects and tat i need a LOT of info frm the net!!! he he he

Well, right now the sun on my horizon is the fact that my papa got me a mobile!! yaaay!!! :D it was purely incidental though!!...he just was in a very good mood and i managed to sneak in my petition and voila.....he said, "no problem beta, we'll get it today". and i'm like totally gaping at him and thinking, "wha...??! i heard right??"....lol!!! :D Itz this absolutely sexy nokia 6610...black!!! I didn't realize how preoccupied i was with it and how much i was stuck on it. One night, when i was gazing at my phone, my mom comes in and says, "Now, when are you gonna end this love affair wid your cell phone???". and i'm thinking.....jeez...i ain't that bad, am i?!! he he he

Among other things, my time is majorly occupied by a heap of classes and mornings and nights blend into each other while i desperately try and figure out what to study next, this or that and end up doing both things, neither properly!! :O lolz....anywayz we're having an IIT chem screening test t'row.....all credit goes to our lovely prof. Santhanam. God!! hez such a sadist!!!! can't believe him....we jus had this abslolutely mortifying problem test a fortnight back. he royally raped us!!!! jeeezzz...anywayz...this chapter i'm studying frm MnB doesn't seem to get over at all....going on and on and on.

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!!

Ropes and the Beach - A Perspective

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

*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!!
