Uyyo!!! Whatte loooong break ;)

"Sorry what did you say? Oh, my hibernation? Yeah, it was great :) "

It's not like i was busy. Just that i was not able to come up with anything interesting, at least not for general public viewing ;)

First let me try to be of some use here.


Some books that i really liked and would suggest for a good read :

The Time Traveler's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger
Tuesdays with Morris - Mitch Albom


Some songs that i fell in love with which you might like :

$ Ek meetha marz dene -> movie - Welcome to Sajjanpur (Hindi)
$ Bheeni bheeni mehki mehki -> movie - Welcome to Sajjanpur (Hindi)
$ Dúlaman -> Celtic Woman - A New Journey (Irish)
$ Mar jawan -> movie - Fashion (Hindi)
$ Picchai paathiram -> movie - Naan kadavul (Tamil)
$ O my friend -> movie - Happy Days (Telugu)
$ I love you more today than yesterday -> Spiral staircase (English)

Oh My God!!!! Shreya Ghoshal WHAT A VOICE!!!



Somewhere along the course of these past few months, i learnt what it's like working together as a big team. Trust me, it's not that simple. Lot of politics, likes, dislikes, humongous egos, thick skinned buffaloes, dainty darlings, unhelpful criticism, controversies and a whole lot else! That's the negative part. The thing's got a lot of positives as well : new friends, learning a few tricks, fun meetings and generally just getting a taste of everything. It gave me a whole new perspective on how to view people around me. Appearance is not believing, experience is. In my mind, some people grew in stature and a few diminished. I learnt whom to trust. It all started out lazily, panic set in, things started heating up, and finally it blew up into a frenzy. It helped that the event was declared a super hit :) A lot of heads would have rolled otherwise.....but there was no need for that ;) people are far more accommodating when a venture is successful.

It's a great thing to be able to look back on everything and laugh at all the silly, petty stuff that sparked so many fights. Sometimes it was hellish, but in hindsight, i guess it was a lot of fun :) Quite an experience :)

On a totally unrelated track, i tried my hand at writing poetry. Not a class act, but it gave me some satisfaction. I might post one to get some scholarly opinions :)

Close encounters with the 3rd kind

My recent trip to Tirupati (to attend my friend's wedding) was fantastic! We had loads of fun. The wait for THE DARSHAN was an opportunity to get gossiping, and it didn't hurt that i got a wonderful eyeful of his highness Sri Venkatachalapathi. The laddu was definitely a welcome break after the mad rush and the ever famous "jaragandis" (guards yelling at you to move on). A small observation here - the smaller laddu given inside the temple seems to taste better than the larger ones we get outside. My friend's wedding went off quite well. The bride & groom looked gorgeous. We did what friends usually do at weddings and then headed back to our rooms and got started on this wonderful game of cards known as LITERATURE . "Thank you Srikanth chithappa for teaching it to me. You have no idea the amount of fun i've had with it." The heady combination of a slightly complex game and a few mercurial players ensured that the fun never went away. I think we m...

And Then There Was Sight...Err...6/6 Sight

When you've lived more than half your life looking at the world through four eyes, it can be quite magical to once again use only two to experience the world like with the four. LASIK can do that to you. It can change your world, especially if you are able to relate to what i have to say below. It all started when i was in 2nd standard. The math(s) teacher always used to give us mental sums in the beginning of the class as a small test of what we'd learnt until then. Funnily, i always got the audio questions correct, but when the questions went up on the black board, i muddled up the 8's with the 0's, the 3's with the 5's and ended screwing up my most important mental sums tests! I still manage a wry inner smile whenever i think of the agony that my younger self went through, not knowing the answer in spite of knowing the method. It took till 3rd standard before i could confide that there was something wrong with me, and i was terrified it was my fault. Let us...

What's with the Adjectives?

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel that most of our Indian on-stage speeches are just plain stuffy? Why doesn't anyone ever get to the point? Longer is definitely not the way to go, and yet, it seems to be the sole aim of the speaker to shush the audience to dreamland for at least half an hour. And don't even get me started on the Adjectives!!!! Why in the world does a mayor have to be "Worshipful"??!! We aren't in England for God's sake! And "Beloved"? "Radiant"? Sheesh. Such grandiloquence puts even the great bards to shame. The irony is, not even a single bit of any of this actually comes from the heart. Every word that is uttered is meant to butter up the "Dignitaries". Gone are the times when humility was considered to be a virtue and not a weakness. And while we are at it, let us not forget "Very". The ubiquitous "Very" has seeped through, into every speaker's "very" life blood. Isn...
