My funny bone got tickled

There are no words to explain the emotions that go through my head when i sit(read sleep) in System software class.. Frustration, boredom, restlessness, helplessness,regret. The list is endless. But it aint all that bad you know.. Sir's got a unique way of making us laugh. AT HIM. :) My bored brain cells sure have a good time in ss class!
Especially when we hear the inviting words.."Ok students, today we're gonna learn about the YACC -Yet another compiler compiler" Darn.So interesting!

Today we had an open book quiz. My very first open book quiz. Was fun actually. So he started with "The rules". None of us have any clue in this subject and then he tells us that its 5 marks for a correct answer!

Bang. A bullet goes through my chest. WHAT?? I thought it was some stupid one word quiz!!! All of us are like dumbstruck! And we're all thinking.. SHIT.

Can the day be any worse??? We already had 2 tests in the morning..both of which we screwed and now, five marks which count as internal assessment could go down the drain.Thank you.

This guy even writes it on the board!!

"Correct answer : 5 marks"
We're watching with our mouths open.

"Partial answer : 4 marks"
Seriously, are we kids? Its enough if he says it. But you know such moments deserve to be preserved!

"Wroin answer: 3 marks"

HA HA HA..if the part about the "WRONG" answer being 3 marks wasnt hilariuos enough, it was the spelling that got me dying with laughter. The entire class is now stuffing their mouths with anything that's in front of them.

:)) ROFLMAO

And he bangs the desk, jumps as usual like he's doing some exotic dance and says "Ennapa sirikirae? Why? "

I wonder why? Hmmm.

Falling in love

She's running away from everything,
Tears of joy running down her lush cheeks.
Just as the tide rises high,
Her heart soars with passion unknown.
The sound of the wind and the sea,
Cannot dampen the thudding beat of her heart.
She wants someone to stop her, but she cant help
Feeling the silencing void inside.
She'd given him her whole heart.
She falls on the sand in submission.
She asks God, 'Is this love?Why must i love?'
Love is War.War of 2 hearts.
The battle makes you stronger.
The consequence brings the truth.
Yes, it is love.
And you must love because i loved you.

Down bliss lane

Watching the rain fall on my hands,
Painting the colours of the setting sun,
Making a "supposed " castle on the beach,
Collecting sea shells like a new found treasure,
Taking in the silence of a lake,
Singing as though no one's listening,
Dancing with my sister till we drop down with exhaustion,
Playing with mud with my cousin,
Fighting for food with my brother,
And then give it to him cos i cant eat it!!
Dribbling the ball in an empty court,
Running without any inhibition,
Chatting with my best friend for hours,
Getting caught for giggling too loud,
Writing a poem for someone.
Memories.

To mom, with love

A woman smiles with pride,
Tears of utter joy run down her glowing cheeks;
She bids goodbye to her swollen tummy,
Awaiting the reason for her life.

Her insides are no longer dormant,
But errupting with love;
Oh, who can stop the volcano inside?
None. She prays day and night.

The unborn babe is safe inside;
Oh! How she wishes that, that be the abode.
Where none can harm, none can rebuke
Where none can mislead a beautiful mind.

Despite her fears, for they are many;
She wants her baby to be strong.
To take that first breath and live,
In this world of good vs evil.

She feels her heart has left her;
If you really love someone,you'd let go.
She did.
She understood a different kind of love.

She saw the most beautiful girl.
She heard her cry with the most beautiful voice.
She kissed her and knew,
She felt like a woman.

Nonsensical excreta

The consequence of going through the entirety of boredom in various levels:

1) You discover new techniques of yawning.

2) You find yourself laughing for useless things.

3) You become your own nightmare AND

4) THE best recreation EVER -----> NONSENSICAL POETRY


You start with a bunch of rhyming words..It's pretty simple.

Planet
Annette
Comet
Piglet
Reset
Wallet
Climate

AND THEN,
when you feel the most lousiest, :)
write the first thing that comes to your mind with those words!

In the Dark Planet,
Of Annette,
Landed the comet
And a fair piglet,
Who soon reset
His wallet,
According to the climate.

And pass it around the class!

Boredom is in the mind and so is fun.

I' VE BEEN TAGGED!!

So yea, this is my first tag. And yea i'm looking forward to kicking someone most dearly for tagging me.

10 things that define my style:

Ahem. Not the right thing to write about ever since i stepped foot into my most "loving" college. The home away from home.The land of bliss.The place of fun and excitement. NOT : ha ha

1) I'm usually in my kurta and jeans ragged at the end (with duppatta of course.. dont want to kill the lame ass people at psg)

2) Cant live without my music. So i'm either singing, or blasting music at home or "trying" to play my guitar. You'll find me in class with my prized music book. It's got all the music i love.Lyrics, chords etc. Used to carry my ipod until it conked for some apparent reason!

3) I dont wear make up at all. I like it natural :) I do something to my face only when forced to or when extremely "necessary"(read weddings)
In school, the makeup person used to make me look like a ghost for the play. yuck.What was more irritating was that there was this hot guy getting his makeup done (yea..guys got to look like ghosts too :D ) and i looked like i'd woken up from my grave.. ha ha memories.

4)I carry my pen drive everywhere with me

5)I carry my small leather ,thin,long- strapped purse with me with my phone.

6)I love my shoes. I love my sexy high heels. :P My Flats. My jhoota type shoes and sports shoes too when i play.
In my first semester at college in physics lab, One of my sirs called me and asked me to come to his table.For a moment i freaked. Shit. what did i do now?? Did i laugh too loud??(yes, apparently, you get kicked out of the lab for laughing! ) Did i break something accidently??

But no...................................................................................................................................................

The crime:
The insanity of wearing high heels to college!
HA HA HA HA.
Good Lord.Forgive me sire ! :P
And i had to listen to him lecture about something he read in this magazine and that magazine about it having ADVERSE effects and bla bla..

We called him "HIS ROYAL NOSINESS". Well he royally earned that title! :)

7) I write poetry when i get the rush. So i grab a pen and any piece of paper around. Dont know if thats any kind of style but anyway!!Surprisingly, i dont have a book of poetry where i write everything. I had one but apparently i lost it. Not exactly an organised person. :)

8) I feel so much less like a girl now. ha ha. And the fact that i have no craze for nail polish or shaping my nails just proves it! I prefer them short and neat. NO PINK or cute designs on my nails. Used to paint them blue,shock white,lilac,coffee brown and gray. Always wanted to paint them black ha ha :) but mum gave me this look of disapproval :P and i threw away that idea.

9) I sketch. Supposedly. I do like to paint the colours of the sunset.I love everything about nature, like to keep it clean, like to take in the silence of a moment, love the rain falling on me,love thinking about it.Love the clouds in every hew.

10)My room has an avril poster(back when she was this new gal rock sensation), 2 egyptian themed wall hangings (a sphinx with pyramids in the background and a pharoah ), A picture of Jesus, an "I love you " wall hanging, a pile of books, pics of school memories, some of my artistic things on the wall (posters, painting bla bla..) ,my guitar, my fav spot---my bed.Not to forget my desk and my cupboard where all my clothes are shoved in. :P

Phew finally. Now i look like a complete non-stylish person. H aha ha. But yea, that's me.

Jade "Baddy" out Shilpa in

50 years back, racist comments were widespread and many people at large were snubbed at being inferior to the "white race". Today, the world has overcome the evil traits of racism. AND SO IT SEEMS. Aparently i was wrong.And the racist comments thrown at Shilpa Shetty on the reality show Celebrity Big Brother house was enough to shake our stagnant minds on the current, yes, current issue of racism.
Although Jade apologises for her nasty behaviour, the damage has indeed been done.

Where do we stand today when we talk about racism?

Dont we respect other cultures?

Is there racism amidst the Indian community itself?

In case you hadnt followed the show,i've taken this from Jon Stock's article on LAST WORD in THE WEEK.

1.One of the other housemates, Jack Tweedy, who is in the unfortunate position of being Jade Goody's boyfriend,suggests that Shetty should pick chicken bones out of a lavatory with her teeth. also that "..we should put her out in the garden and lock the door"

2.Goody describes Shetty as "She is apparently some Bollywood actress but i've never heard of her. For all I know, she could be someone of Old Kent Road.She is f****** sly.She makes me feel sick.She makes my skin crawl.I wouldn't trust her as far as i could throw her.She isn't genuine.I've seen her whispering,laughing behind people's backs."

3.Goody's mother, Jackie,constantly refers to her as "the Indian" and refuses to pronounce her name properly.

4.Danielle Lloyd,glamour model watches Shetty apply facial hair bleach and says: "She wants to be white.She is a dog." she also said when Shilpa handled food,"You don't know where those hands have been "

Also Jo O'Meara,ex singer with S club 7 adds: "Indians are thin because they dont cook food properly."
Shocking is not the word.

I am Thine Oh Lord

From ages of old, He has loved me.
Who am I to question His wisdom?
Who am I to question my purpose?
Who am I to question God's plan?
Who am I Lord. Who am i?

With every new life that blesses the Earth,
Angels dance with joy in Heaven, i know.
Lord, how much more would they have danced
When the heard that you were born into this world?
Oh, i can hear the music, it's ringing in my heart.
Lord, every inch of my body, knows that you are Lord.
Lord, everything that i have is because of You.
Lord, humble me.
What the world has to give, does not bring me joy,
But a second in Your presence is like a million treasures won.
A million lamps lit is nothing compared
To the light that shines within me.
The light that saved me.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

May your Christmas be filled with joy and thankfullness.
God bless.

(Just made this in paint :)) 

Let me introduce my galiant protector, my armed monster, my ferocious, trained drool shooter. (:P)

Name:Rocky
Breed: Doberman
Please note: Looks are deceptive cos he's one sweet dog!
Licks almost too much and leaves me messy and grumpy! ha ha.
Weakness: Food and me :) and dad and bro and sis and mum.
He's one spoilt dog :) pampered all his life! By that i dont mean that he weras a cute dress or has a diamond collar but yea, he's loved a lot.

Most affectionately called: Chooey
Loves: To moan and make a fuss and get attention
Hates: Even an ant that comes in our way. He'll even bark at an insect miles away!! 

Lemony loo

Ah yes. I needed some colour out here! And i wanted to go all the way and get lemony :) . An inspiration from a friend. Someone who we lovingly call "chechi", "chena", "aunty".

Makes me think about college and all the fun times we have. Despite the tremendous amount of preparation that our most endearing SS sir puts into his classes, well there has to be someone who cracks us up every time. Yes, you sir.

The day is droning and sandheep's in his 13th dream.
I cant supress my laughter at the sight of him in pensive thought.
Saranya's falling on her desk next to me.
I'm looking at the board, with other things in mind.
"Chena" hears "back track" as "back scratch". God bless.

Lo and Behold... the moment arises.
Mr SS sir says, "Students, do you know how to find the 1's compliment of the 1's compliment sum of a set of numbers?"
Like we could care less.

But no.. he has to awaken us!!
GREAT IDEA.
"Looks like all of you 'll are sleeping!"
Well surprise surprise!

So he writes on the board,
"Once compliment of the Once compliment sum of.."

Ah, yes. We're awake all right!
HA HA HA HA.
I'm trying hard not to make funny noises while laughing while mirudhula almost dies with laughter.
The last row cant control either. HELP!
You know it's rude to laugh AT SOMEONE'S FACE!!!
Man... And the Guy didnt even stop us!! Just looked at us! And we looked back.
And yes, Sandheep woke up.

Turns out that day evening he told our rep that girls and guys shouldnt sit together. Like that had anything to do with it.

And the man finally got it! God bless!

Firangi craze-- a whacky point of view (a shot at dramatisation)

why the "firangi"craze?
I've always wanted to wear a long and elegent dress that flows down to your toes and narrates a story of its own with its lush colour and intriguing cut.You know, with the low back,low neck, low everything! Well tough luck!! ha ha.. You are indeed the nice, decent, well bred, religious Indian girl! Imagine the culture shock and the rift it might cause! A catastrophy of sorts! Good Lord! Ah well, there's always the mini skirt and the unbelievably short non-shirt. "WHAT??? Are you crazy?? Are you out of your mind? Do you have some sense??" is what i'll probably hear. Well, everyone is crazy in some whacky way. It's only how one perceives it. It's standard procedure in India to break the rules, so why the sudden mindset of scrutinizing a woman's clothing? I mean, does the world's existence depend on it? I think not.
In denfence of the 1 billion Indians (minus the whacky Indian girls)--Why the sudden infactuation with firangi style and fashion? A girl in a village in India with a "crazy" idea of style will indeed have to face the music from her parents after she's been humiliated by being gaped at by a bunch of jobless mongers with no apparent sense of decency. But you know what, if i wore a sari in another part of the world, where they have'nt had one glimpse of Indian clothing, i'd probably be stared at for quite some time too!
The sari is actally a very sensuous piece of garment. In certain places its outrageous for a woman to "expose" her mid-section. Um.. why is that? So.... what they're saying is that, their great great great great(and a lot more greats) grandmother, the first woman on earth was the most indecent and vulgar woman on earth. WOW.Now that is silly.
Maybe we're just tagging it.. "The firagi craze"I mean, anything new is exciting and hence the sudden craze. In a country like India, its bound to spread like wildfire. What's the crime in being adventureous and trying out a new thing or two?
I think restriction creates a spirit in you that makes you crave for something more. I mean, take a bollywood film. Guy meets girl, they fall in love, bla bla end of story. The much awaited kiss is left to our imagination. Because,its an outrage in India.Hush. No talking about love and mushy stuff. Why the restriction? Seems to me, the whole of India is love crazy because of the restriction. hmmm. Quite a thought. As for me, i remain the nice, decent, well bred, religious Indian girl. There are more important things on earth to fight over.

The prequel- My horse whisperer

She walked towards him in defeat,
As though it was their fate, to meet;
He gently stroked her dusky mane,
He seemed to ease her of her pain.

He whispered songs of long ago,
He spoke of mountains i adore.
Oh, what longing i have in me!
To unbind myself and be free.

I'd chase the wind till i lose my breath,
I'd ride in the rain till i'm soaking wet,
I'd watch the creation of a new day,
I'd still be there to watch it slowly sink away.

His voice i hear amidst the pouring rain,
Softer than the light patter on my face,
Calling out to me not to stray,
My horse whisperer, my only way.

Right now i'm into quite a few things! At one point in your life you have to do this

Listen to:
1. What a wonderful world-Louis Armstrong

(George Weiss / Bob Thiele)

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"
I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Oh yeah

Its the charm of the simple things in life that i'm still blown away by and i am yet to understand to hidden complexity in them.

2. Kiss from a rose-Seal

Another one of my favouraites. Absolutely beautiful lyrics and a very addictive song might i add! yea, i've heard the song about a zillion times and i'm not remotely bored of it as yet!

3. Zombie-Cranberries

There's something about this song that's so enigmatic and magnetic. A downright head banger and 5.12 minutes of gothic-ness.
A song to sing for kicks. You will not be disappointed. One bit.


To watch:
1. The Horse whisperer- The thing is i never expected anything but i got much more than i expected after watching it.

2. Finding Forrester- For all you aspiring writers, this is the movie to watch.

We all live on this Earth for a reason. There is someone out there who's life is waiting for you to be in it. In whatever small way, for whatever small reason you are indeed blessed to be there. I've always wondered about life. I've pondered about the why's and when's and how's a good number of times. And i've come to understand that even though i dont see it in the near future, God sees it real clear and he's got a plan. And it's my duty to trust and obey. Living by faith is what takes you to places you've never dreamt of, to opportunities you never thought yourself worthy of, to experiences you never thought you could live through. And thats the beauty of life.

My horse whisperer...

I'm running, running, my swift body moves across,
My hooves make a depression on the dark desert sand.
I'm reaching for the horizon where things are anew,
Across the red desert sand I ride towards you.

I'm thinking, i'm feeling like a whole new being;
I'm filled with life with a whole new meaning.
My life is saved, yes i'm free again,
My horse whisperer, my saviour, my friend.

A song fills my mouth,a voice so clear,
What you've given me, is oh, so dear.
Even my might and grace can never surpass
The burning spirit in me so vast.

Oh, I could sing of all my battles won
My peaceful nights watching the setting sun.
When i carried you across hills and streams,
But you carried me beyond my very dreams!

Dark dangers i might come to see
But i will fight the storm until they flee
For i know, far across the distance,
Across the red desert sand
My horse whisperer, will guide me home.

-annette
i absoltely loved the movie.

Dont honey me..

When the day is right,
And fate calls,
When darkness stumbles upon light,
Dont honey me.

When confusion meets you,
And takes you by the hand,
When lies seem so true,
Dont honey me.

When life brings you high,
And you're standing tall,
When pride brings a sigh,
Dont honey me.

When Snow White meets her happy ending,
She smiles a brilliant smile,
Stars, with joy, start descending,
Dont honey me.

It takes a lot of grey matter to bring down mine,
But cant you see,i've got God with me,
Somewhere between the dotted line,
Dont honey me.

Folly is what defies the mind,
And tries to make you succumb your all,
But you cannot lose what you've had before,
Dont honey me.

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players"
Play your part, Be yourself-
Dont honey me.

God's own country

Kerala. I have been to kerala quite a few times and every time i come back home from my short vacation i long to have spent more time there. I took this picture when i went to kerala in june. I have these 'moments' when i totally zone out or rather zone into another world where nature unfolds her life to me. Every leaf has a story to tell and i find myself lost in thought every time.

The moment i saw this 'hole in the wall' i just knew there was something on the other side that i had to see for myself.
Beauty beyond my understanding. Thats what it is. 

Wake up Lord, within me

Wake up, Lord, i know You're within me,
I want to feel Your presence, whole and completely.
The world looks down on me, but i've got You by my side,
Under Your wings i'm prepared for life's ride.

Take me Lord, high above in life,
Teach me Lord, to live through the strife.
The light of Your presence is shining like a star,
I can now live through any danger, any scar.

When i'm being swallowed by my fears,
My Lord is fighting away my tears..
When i'm not strong enough to hold myself,
My Lord, puts me back on the right shelf.

I feel stronger by just knowing you,
Day by day, You guide me through..
I can't see where my life will lead me,
But my faith in You has set me free.

No more worries, no more misery,
I live for you Lord,yes, completely.
I thank you Lord for everything that you've given,
Yes, everything that i do, is now God-driven.

Oh, I tell you, the ride is heavenly,
With the clouds and the wind blowing approvingly.
I smile with my heart,oh, it feels so light,
I know deep within, everything's alright.

I ride with my Lord everyday,
Wake up Lord, within me, I say.

Divided thoughts..

At first i laughed at the sarcasm portrayed,
Later, at my casual acceptance of the matter i was ashamed,
Now i realise i'm not the one who's dismayed...
Who is?

Mind of an anti-reservationist-->

Why God,are we divided when we are born?
Why God, are some looked upon with scorn?

At 3, i never cared whether my friends were OBC
With open arms i would have let them come to me.

At 18, i still feel the same..
Still there seems to be a nagging pain.
With my future on the line,
How can i not stand for what's mine?
I mean,i worked for it,i made everyone proud..
But yet,i did not make it through the crowd.
I've tagged myself as a failure
I'm lost in insecurity,depression and fear.
I thought i could make it big one day,
Now all my hopes are washed away..
After my breakdown,will there be a seat reserved for me?
For the mentally unstable,physically unwell & ill emotionally?
I'm so confused & i dont have the strength to fight,
Let the government do whatever they might!
Afterall someone loses out and it might as well be me,
I'm thinking-maybe this was'nt meant to be.
I know that i've had the best education i can ever get,
I know someone else's dreams of studying are now being met.
I'll move on,having faith in my education,
I' ll learn a new task without trepidation.
All i want to say is that all this concern for the OBC
is just making it convenient for them,according to me.
I can see that my loss is someone else's gain,
I guess i'll just become stronger after all the pain
I pray that God guides me through..
One day i'll rise up and be among you..

Mind of a pro-reservationist--

At 3,i was an OBC
At 18, i still am completely
I never had the platform to shine
How can i achieve something that was'nt regarded mine?
I am tagged from day 1
Limited for no reason under the sun..
I cant believe that it has to end this way,
For some-so that i can make my day.
You have no idea how much hope you've instilled in me.
I can even see myself earning for my family..
Although i feel that stealing your dream is a crime,
I'm not going to waste a second of my time.
I promise that i 'll work harder than you ever did,
I promise to educate every OBC kid
I will make sure that my caste is not an excuse
For my kids to take advantage of, and misuse.
I know
it must have been very tough for you,
I respect your anger,i really do.
I hope we will get this resolved one day,
For that to happen all i can say
Is that you have given me a future,a life, a dream..
Both of us together can make a good team.

Everyone needs a helping hand,
Something i have learnt to understand.

Reservation for OBC?

I was reading this magazine and i came across this slogan-
I hope you know about the government reserving 27 % seats for the OBC..or more!

"Dear pro-reservationists,politicians,police...
Kabhi na kabhi you have to come to us.
We have RESERVED the bluntest knives and the thickest needles for you."

A slogan that brings out the ugliness of anger.
