eat shop sleep



I wanna buy everything i see and i wanna eat every edible thing that i find.Wat am i gonna do once i go back to hostel..I'm so hungry at the wrong times and i wanna sleep in the afternoons in an AC room, and i wanna shop like every weekend..These are the first things that any hosteler should  not dream about..but i cant help it..I cant imagine going back and not allowed to go out in the evening , and paying for what i don't like and don't eat, I cant imagine shopping every weekend with only 500 rupees per month as pocket money, also ADJUST; something I have not done for the past few months.I remember telling myself before i left for internship, it won't be difficult to be coming back cos 6 months of freedom cannot make me forget the 3 years of this life,but believe me wen i say i forgot everything, I don't know what it would be like to come back.Hope is all that I'm clinging on to , to have a nice one year back in college :)

six beautiful months :)

ebay:)
Its almost over.But I'm really not happy about it.These 6 months were so beautiful, i just cant believe it got over within a flash of a second.Its as if only last week was  March 5(ebay interview), we all looked deranged, and i remember the way all of us got shocked when sudharsan's name didn't appear on the selected list, I totally forgot to go and even check my name. And all became topsy-turvy, that idiot got spot selected :O. And we had to wait for another one week to get the results.Arthi was in suspension wen results came :P.And i remember the happiness and the satisfaction we got when shivram took us to the placement cell and gave us our call letter.I'm sure the rest would have felt so senti just like me.After all this,our pre-internship drama ended.

welcome:)
And on May 16,i remember the way we were all messaging and talking to each other, we were so scared and all worried how is it gonna be, how are we gonna enjoy cos we are not with the rest, will it be nice, will it be the most beautiful 6 months like all our seniors say?will we enjoy??how will a company be,everyone has joined and are liking it , we are like the last ones to join in our class..will we enjoy in the same way..??so many so many thoughts in all our minds..but then it just took a second to erase all the doubts and worries.
board room!
The first day at office..me and raghav came with santy..the other girls with sindhu , the guys with muthu anna...they took us so promptly to the reception and got us ID cards..i remember all 10 of us did nothing but just grin at each other..we were literally grinning...we were soooo happy. dunno why we were grinning but we were..We looked like lkg kids in an amusement park, so happy , so care free..After all this, we had nowhere to go , but our very own board room(fatehpur sikhri), , it all look likes yesterday :( It took us a week to come out of the amusement.
vetti scene :P

I remember the way those 3 used to show off with their study material :P.

Prolly with ppl like raghavan and TB , i have spoken very less before i came here, but now its like i have known them forever, i love them soo much.As a matter of fact, i have grown close to all of them..I just love these guys.
I remember those endless manga sessions at charminar, the sappa class meetings we used to put,the number of times we used to call VSK sir for just nothing,the way we used to plan before sending or kalachifying in groups, the way gopi poured water in vishnu's plate  for which me and CP cleaned the table :P, and later the same gopi being the source of entertainment to all of us,our pre and post lunch sessions, our lunch gumbal in the cafeteria, vishnu's and gopi's hosanna :) ,muthu na's treat.
foos ball
treat!





Alagiri and vishnu's determination to tease pree, the dance in the cafeteria for which we stood at the back and commented as if noone was listening, the party night, break out's tropicana,foos ball names like wonder kid,rajbath,etc.,

Pree :D

The free ice creams, birthday parties :), the best place to work in party, the play pal events and raghavan's love for sports :)

playpal:)
very own charminar
My bus rides with raghavan .The mokkai fellow whom we all hate :P and how we used to run away when he comes,the test match we watched in the break out, our TB's numerous boy frens :P ,the comments we posted in a random guy's  blog just to kadupu ethify  him :P , my morning coffee with santy and TB.The best moment being the recent one , the feedback where we felt sooooooo proud when the entire ebay world praised us.Especially i remember when the session was going on , me CP and TB were sitting in the break out with a feel that we were already missing this place, with our throats choking, and claiming that we indeed had a beautiful 6 months, noone can take this away from us :) I'm happy its all a nice ending, i wanna remember this place only in a happy way, there was never an instance wen even one of us felt uncomfortable with any other person.There has never been a sad moment , we even felt comfortable working here.Feeling very happy that my 7th sem was just the way i wanted it to be.Think even the rest of them felt the same :)

I Have a Dream!



I dont have 'a' dream , but a lot of them :P. This is not about my dream.This is about Martin Luther King's dream.
His public speech "I have a Dream" , way back on August 28,1963, is considered as a defining moment for the Americans (even the unborns). I happened to read it,trust me it was simply brilliant.It was really nice to read it.Though I was no way related to this sect of people , the speech made me understand the grief, the pain and every unpleasant feeling that  these people undergo. 
Few inspirational lines from the speech.

"... have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight..."
"..In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.."

This is what you call freedom of speech.
I am putting up this post so that people who haven read the speech "I Have a Dream" by Martin Luther King can have a look at it.

Sundal Time :)

After so many years Im home for golu :) and im home helping my mom with it, rather than being a mere visitor to my own house :)
I love this part of the year a lot :) Cos its navarathiri time,house will be very colorful ,a lot of friends ,relatives, neighbors would come home,mainly you can get a lot of nice things to eat, your treasury will grow in size each time you go to a house :P.I remember when i was kutti, i used to go to everyone's house and sing (read it as bray , if i don't they wont give sundal :( ) and get some sundal and earrings,hair bands,or something girlie as thamboolam which i can show off in the school the next day. In some houses they'll give us chocolates, so ill make sure i go there on all the 9 days :).I remember how my mom will choose dresses for me , those nice and traditional pattu pavaadais which  I would refuse to wear telling those are for 1 year old kids and prefer wearing the same salwar (can u believe sudha wanted to wear salwar even when she was 5 when duppatta itself would make 2 salwars for her) that too with duppata, I can only imagine myself that way and laugh. But now i wanna wear pattu paavadai..but i know ill look like a overgrown pig if i do that now ...cant even picturise me in that way ..:O (warning: stop imagining!!).
I'm not gonna upload any pic for this post.Cos im going to put my house golu pics itself (prolly after a few days) so that you can appreciate my art of keeping golu :)

(Un)True

All of us know Gandhi was born on Oct 2 and was assassinated by Godsey on Jan 30. We also know that Godsey was no foreigner, but we weren told and we didn't bother to understand  his (godsey's) intention to do so.It seems Godsey paid his respects and thanked Gandhiji for his various sacrifices and good deeds before he killed him.I was suddenly eager to know about all this , and when i was browsing, there was no article which called Godsey a fanatic and none accused him , all of them had agreed he had a reason for it. We weren told all this because Mahatma has contributed a lot to our country and it is better if we are unaware of his misdeeds which he had done only out of the blind love for the country and only did that one of those misdeeds arouse godsey. the link which i have attached is one among the other similar links that surprised me.There are even information that  Gandhiji's non- violence was not the one which sent back the Bristish but Subash Chandra Bose's army  that intimidated the British and , British weren people who would succumb to ahimsa cos if they had had agreed to ahimsa they would have done it way back in 1930.
All we are left with is information and pieces of a jig saw puzzle and we do not know how to fix it cos we don't even know what we want the puzzle to give as a solution in the end.
Anyways Happy Gandhi Jayanthi !!:)

Endhiran: Not a movie spoiler!!


Yaaaaaaayyyyy!! I watched rajini's movie first day in ESCAPE (sathyam)  :) :) Can i be even more happier??I'm not gonna tell anything about the movie, watch it yourself.. My comment would be..its an amazing movie which definitely Indian cinemas have not seen..and it was a shankar's movie more than rajini's..
But isn't rajini amazing..people might ask and mock why the hell does he act when he is old?But would the same person who commented this would let it pass without him watching the movie?Of course not, why rajini acts cos people want him to act,people would accept him for it..Won't we still watch a movie acted by tom hanks or jackie chan..All this criticism does nothing to rajini but give him an extra advantage.
Rajini does no marketing to his films.Its his fans who take care of it once the promos are released.Except for the movie enthiran(even which rajini didn't expose himself much before the release)which was hyped cos of the producer who is a giant in the media industry ,I do not remember any movie of rajini's getting hyped before its release;cos that is the kind of person rajini is and all he needs to do is tell there is a movie release and the rest is taken care of..
In fact i was surprised when i saw the english news channels including rajini's movie release in their headlines and comparing him with amitabh and srk..those are the same news channels which would arrange shows for the heroes(sometimes even the star heroes) to publicise their movies so uselessly and it'll be like someone is forcing us to watch the movie.And those are the same TV channels which would promote the reality shows conducted by the stars cos that is a way of publicity for the movie and for them.Of course not everyone can be like rajini and not every movie can hit the box office like rajini's without publicity.There can be no star whose effigy and posters get a royal welcome before the movie release.The night before the release is similar to a new year's eve..This is not only in Chennai,even in Mumbai, Delhi and London.If you tell me that is impossible..go watch the news yourself.
In real life he does not pretend.He does not dress himself flamboyantly outside the film sets like all the others,and only for these reasons he is loved so unconditionally.I really pity the movies which get released on the same day as his..2 days back ranbir kapoor has requested the viewers through 'Times now' that "Please watch anjaana anjaani if you don't get tickets for enthiran"...How much ever people argue telling that he is no super star..inside them everyone knows that there is no great man who made a normal movie even for tamil standards like muthu which became a super duper hit in countries like japan where you can hardly find a non-japanese speaking or understanding group of ppl...What kind of publicity did he do?? NOTHING!!
I'm so happy that my first movie in theatre was his "thalapathy" and I'm so lucky that i belong to an era which crazily fought to get his movie tickets and didn't mind giving even 1000 bucks to watch it. :)
