Blogadda contest:First crush

There exists situation where you completely go beyond this current world may be to mars or saturn and enjoy a separate world called the "dream world".

If you think above are the symptoms of insanity,my friend you got it wrong.It is all about "Crush effect".

Saw this cool contest in blogadda and immediately decided to gush out my crush effect.If you are still wondering what the crush effect is,please proceed further.

It was the first day of my college.Most of the day was spent in introductory sessions.Since we were fresh from school that day was allotted for "ice breaking sessions".That was the only day where we didnot have any technical sessions.Murmurs occupied the entire class.groups were formed and my peers were busy discussing something serious.I did lend my ears to hear what the discussion was all about(naah it is not eavesdropping I say).Later I came to know that it was all about cricket.Being a novice in cricket I tried them to pull out from the topic but in vain.The last thing I could do was take a pledge to concentrate more on cricket matches which will help me to join their conversation at the later stage.

I begged my brother to teach me the nuances of cricket.Learnt a lot about gully,silly and duck outs.One day he was teaching me the names of cricker players and to our coincidence Britannia ad splashed on the screen.My bro pointed the ad and told that is "Ganguly" who is famous for his Sixers.from then on I started to follow the ad closely and later I realized who my first crush is.I made sure that I eat atleast one packet of britannia everyday just because ganguly was featuring in the ad.britannaia became my staple diet.

And then I started to witness the crush effect in me.I started to enter into a different world often dreaming about Ganguly.I started to giggle myself.I witnessed a churning effect in my stomach ,I reciprocated it with a coy smile.I started to gobble the most hated upma in a second when I saw ganguly on TV screen.Whenever he entered the ground I prayed for his century.For every ball he faced I became nervous.Whenever he was adjudged as "man of the match" it was time for me to celebrate.People at home benchmarked me as a total loony.


I was qualified as a "not-so-novice" in cricket and so I started to indulge myself in cricket discussions with ma friends.We started to speak endlessly about cricket.On an usual chat one of my friend gushed out her love towards ganguly.I was shell shocked to see Murphy in the form of my friend.Later on a casual visit to her home I was astonished to see posters of him all around her room.her love is much stronger than mine.I was completely choked on seeing a particular poster.My dream was completely thwarted.I came to know he was married to Dona.Within a few seconds the churning effect got vanished,crush effect was abated.I started to hate my upma to the core.



I heard my friend saying "there is always an another crush" and that brought a smile in me and ultimately we broke into laughter.

Gradually I shifted my interest from cricket to F1.Later I witnessed an another crush there.It was Schumacher.The same story started to repeat!

Thanks blogadda for this wonderful opportunity.

Book review-The dark room

I am a die hard fan of "R.K.Narayan".After the dawn of 2010,I said myself that I have to complete all his collections.Being a sluggish sloth that I am, completing all his collections is gonna be a herculean task.


I recently completely his book "The dark room" and here goes the review.


"The dark room" is all about the couple "Savitri and Ramani".Ramani always appears to be of dominating genre, on the other hand Savitri tends to be submissive.She never questions her husband and accepts whatever he says!Life moves on with the same way.

All of a sudden yet another feminine character enters into Savitri's life which leads to total chaos in the family.Savitri moves out of her home and for a very short period she stays away from her home.


Being so much engulfed with her family she could not withstand being all alone and she decides to return back to her family and finally she does that.

Well coming back to the title,Savitri tends to stay in her "Dark room" whenever she encounters tussle with her hubby.But there appears a situation which makes her to shun everything including her dark room and which makes her to move away from her home.At the later stage she again comes back to her home.

R.K.Narayan writings are always a delicious treat for the readers.His way of ending the stories are always different and you would witness a differnt cusp in his flavour of writing.

Stay tuned in this space to read more book reviews of R.K.Narayan's collection.
And the next book review is gonna be “Snapshots from hell” !Stay tuned!

Till then adieu amigos

Happy bday meenu(advance)

Never ever in the wildest of my dreams,did I think I will meet some in my office campus(to be specific in the vinayakar temple)who will become my great pal at the later stage of my life...And yes it did happen and I gained a very close friend in life...And the looney insane person is none other than my dear Meenu.

She is a total non-stop non-sense,a chatter box and an innocent gal.Ever smiling face is what she holds!I have hardly seen her frowning at others!A gal ready to adapt to situation and things.Above all she is a "ULAGAM SUTRUM MANGAI"...Today she will be in chennai,tomorrow in hyderabad and day after tomo the next place.

A gal who is equally insane like me,who hears my nitwits and still lends her ears!A person whom I approach in trouble and as well when I am happy...A person who is very much like my elder sis!A person with oodle of energy.A person will too much of goals!And list goes on and on..

I am seriously glad that I got you in my life.On this day I wish you a "A very happy bday(inadvance).May you get the bestest of best things in life.May you scale great heights.May you be still the same(of course to hear my nitwits)...Happy birthday gal...

Hold on...I am already waiting for the hefty treat...!Will meet you soon in person to get my share...

I am what I am

My blog is a reflection of my true self...I so much love writing and so I entered into the world of blogging:)Whenever I am happy I find a reason to blog and when I am gloomy I approach this space and spew out all my emotions!

This post of mine is something which is gonna be my rambling.I speak from my mind and I am here not to hurt others and here ya go!


1.I come across this saying very often "Ahhh gal taking the responsibility of a family???well it is so weird?---I would like to say a thing "Hey you (some) male chauvinist hold on...Stop your discrimination of gals and guys...Gals are so much in par with guys!Is it a stigma that a gal should not take responsibility??...I am sorry if this is your mind plz change it...Yes I tend to be a reformer in my words!I am a gal and so I vouch we are equally potent and can take any
challenges or responsibilities!We are ready to shatter any obstacles.

2.I HATE people who speak coaxing and cajoling words!I DON'T want any sugar coated words!I don't want humbug words!I am not expecting jaggery filled words.. all I need is a true friendship and a true love.

3.These days I have gained hatred towards PITY!Don't pity others,instead if you can motivate them do that ,else please never disturb them!that will be a great help.

4.I HATE gold ornaments!I hate to wear bangles!No sir I would like to be my true self!Being from an orthodox brahmin family I get to hear that not wearing bangles is an offense!For namesake I just wear it but still I am in the league "I HATE GOLD ORNAMENTS or BANGLES" for that sake...

Last but not the least "We are the one to create rules!we are also the one just to break the rules for our sake!Be true to yourself and don't create harm to others!If you find you are heading towards a right path "JUST DO IT" and damn care the least about others!


Wonder why today my post is related to hatred?But con't help.As I said earlier I need to spew out and so I did it!

PS:I am open to say whatever I think and is it an offense to be open?sigh!

Conserve Recycle and Discover Contest

Yet another time I came across this contest in our blogadda site.So thought of giving a try.First a big thanks to blogadda for giving the thought provoking topic "Conserve,Recycle and Discover" pertaining to our environment.




My takes are below.

I was very indifferent,least bothered about my environment,was lavish in taking printouts and never showed any concern for my good old mother earth or the environment.After reading blogs and campaigns I realised the importance of protecting our earth from hazards.From then on I try my level best to safeguard and protect my environment.Every single and simple deeds will add value and so I started with my simple deeds.

Conserve:

There are many resources that needs to be conserved,but one thing that tops the list is "trees"...They provide us shawdow and shield us from baking heat...They take carbon-di-oxide and give us oxygen.They also become our staple diet(eg:Greens)...But how do we reciprocate it?Only by slashing it and building apartments and buildings!let's us understand that trees are also very much like a human being but they con't retort their anger or express their feelings through words!If we understand that it is also very much like us,we will gain a feeling to conserve it.Let's put our hands and conserve trees and make our planet a best place to live!

Recycle:

As I said earlier every simple deed will add values.The same applies to recycling.We dont have to think about recycling industry products but let us start with the products which we use it in our day to day life.

1.Ever tried this?Don't trash your bin with vegetable skin...Just rinse the skin of veggies in water and dry the skin in baking sun...Once it becomes dry...make it as fine powder...Try to add this powder in your cuisine.I am sure the dish you dine will be rich in taste with this powder flavour.

2.Don't let the water out when your rinse the rice...instead store it in a bucket.use it to water your plants.

3.Don't throw the saw dust which you get while sharping ur pencils through sharpners.they can be used as a designer in paintings!try it ,the result would be an excellent painting with wonderful saw touch!


above are just few examples,we can put on our thinking caps and recycle as much as we can!so what are you waiting for!start recycling our day to day products!

Discover:

Discover!well!I think the first step to discover something needs awarness about the topic.So to protect our environment we need to create awareness about the same.You don't have to create gadgets to spread the awareness...Advertisemnts,blogs,hoardings,newsletters would definitely create a great impact on people...And I am sure the impact will make every individual to contribute a small deed which will obviously lead to mass benefit and lead a clean green environment!

The above are just my thoughts!

oops with irctc online booking

02/June/2010

My father asked me to book a train ticket in irctc portal...Being so lethargic I as usual forgot the same...His travel was scheduled on 02/June/2010(yesterday)...He enquired me about the ticket only then I realized as usual I forgot to book it...

Now what else I can do...rush to my computer...book the ticket through tatkal...I proudly said "Appa gimme 5 mins time,I will reserve through tatkal and we shall take the printout"....

With all great expectation I logged in and typed www.irctc.co.in.I didnot have any account before and so I gave new sign up...I clicked "Sign up" by 8.30am...The site started to load and for next 20 minutes it was loading...My dad was checking constantly about the ticket and there I was sitting with the sign up screen with the processing state...

Finally I created an account and by that time it was 10.30am...even tatkal tickets were under WL status...phew!!!

I am not sure whether irctc site takes long time to load during wee hours ie in the morning...If this happens to all,then a small suggestion to irctc to load balance the server...Because irctc is one site which we can never live without...If you people are not witnessing this slow processing of the site...then I think there is some serious prob with my IE connection!

Well what did my dad do,you may ask...He finally went in person and booked a bus ticket to chennai from trichy...lolz....I am dead sure the next time he will never ask me to book ticket through online..because by this time he is very much aware how lethargic his daughter is!

Self damage is always best!what say!
