Sounds good?

Okay, I work in radio. So what? That doesn’t necessarily make me the girl with a beautiful voice. I do not have to talk on-air. But some people do prefer my voice. Is that bad? Why does my voice always have to sound good? It may be different but having a bad voice day is just the same as having a bad hair day. I’ve suffered both.

Stop telling me that my voice sucks. I know it and I use it only to yap with friends. If you want me to sing, you probably will have to bear with it. Or let me give you a better idea. Shut your ears!!!

I dance better than sing or anything. Period!

Realisation Dawns…

I’ve come to realise that I feel

good when I am dancing.

I’ve come to realise that my legs

are not as flexible as they appear.

I’ve come to realise that this weekend

will be as hectic as ever.

I’ve come to realise that when I’m driving

I want to slap the &^$%&$ out of other drivers.

I’ve come to realise that I have lost

respect for losers.

I’ve come to realise that I hate it when

you trust someone with all your heart and it ends up getting broken.

I’ve come to realise that if I seem to have fallen in love

I am probably dreaming.

I’ve come to realise that I like

to have fun once in a while.

I’ve come to realise that if I’m drunk

I’ll dance like crazy.

I’ve come to realise that certain people

didn’t deserve me.

I’ve come to realise that cell phone is

the worst thing that has ever happened to mankind.

I’ve come to realise that my pillars of strength

are my two sisters.

I’ve come to realise that I love to

dwell on the past and never want to face reality.

I’ve come to realise that right now I am thinking about

leaving office early and spending time at home.

I’ve come to realise that my mom

is one of the best people I know

I’ve come to realise that when I get on facebook

it’s the best way to waste my time

I’ve come to realise that I really want

contentment

I’ve come to realise that I need

God NOW!!!

Luck – Not so lucky!

As the name suggests, one needs truck-loads of LUCK to survive this film. You know that it’s the usual bollywood impact that the director has tried his hands on when the movie starts with a couple of blindfolded men, Sanju Baba among the lot, scooting across several railway lines right when all the trains zip and makes you grip the edge of the seat. But as expected, Sanju Baba, being the luckiest of them all, survives it while everyone else gets knocked off one by one. I mean, what the luck was that?? It is quite impressive in the beginning when you have no idea about the movie at all. As the story unfolds, one tends to get bored beyond imagination. 

Imran Khan, the heartthrob of sweet lil’ innocent girls(including me) has been successful in giving yet another flop. Kudos! His earlier film, Kidnap also featured Sanju Baba and I am guessing they don’t share a lucky partnership. Tinsel town’s new girl, Shruthi Hassan fails miserably in dialogue delivery and looks more like a dead woman walking around in s*** low-waist leather pants showing off her tattu(s)<tattoos>.

Chitrashi and Mithun Chakraborty were the only two who have done justice to their roles and made the movie a ‘teeny weeny’ bit bearable. Ravi Kishan in the role of psychopathic ring killer seems to be more like a joker from the circus giving his oh-my-god-that-was-so-scary laughs..

On the whole, this is a waste-o’-time movie for which I paid 120 bucks(tickets alone) plus 150 bucks for the popcorn and coke.

Luckily, I kept my brains at home this time around.

Unforgettable!

1995:

Air force school – 1st STD. Getting ready to school and walking that path full of flowers. I was always delighted to go that way. It was so blissful that I forgot all about school. I somehow manage to forget the name of the flower which gives honey. Help?!

1996:

Exact city life! 2nd STD – I hated school and the only person who made it bearable was Miss Lakshmi. I wonder how she handled me then. I was extremely stubborn and would refuse to even eat my food. My father was the best man on earth but my Uncle(Mama) was a hunk. He was a bike racer and wore leather jackets and shoes. He loved to play blaring music at home.. MJ was his favourite.

1997:

3rd STD – school was not so bad. But my class teacher, Miss Hema was the devil straight from hell. Sashi Bala – the girl from UP and Lakshmi, the chamathu iyengar girl, were my biggest rivals and I would have done anything to kill them. My aunt taught us dance. Now you know where those moves come from. =)

1998:

Sashi, Lakshmi and I became great friends. My class teacher remained the same but now it was ok. Portions were getting tougher but I managed to score 2nd rank. :) Boys vs Girls thing started.

1999:

5th STD – Everything was so good. School, home, friends, everything. All of sudden, grandma expired. I was in shock. Wept for a week. Cancelled my dance show that was to happen the following week.

2000-2003:

We moved to a new house. I spent loads of time in the terrace playing and sky watching. During holidays, I would wake up by 11 only to switch on the TV and watch Farscape followed by umpteen number of other movies. Shwetha and Soundarya became my close mates in school. Rekha ma’am, our English teacher asked us(Soundarya and me) to shut up in grammar classes cuz we always knew the answers. :D

2004:

Moved to a new neighbourhood. Chitrad, the annual function the colony and the Kumbabhishegam of the local temple were two successful events conducted by us. Danced with Ram anna for Kunguma poove song from Pithamagan.  He played Surya and I played Simran. :P My sister played the role of Laila. It was a super duper hit and we danced twice.

Completed 10th STD successfully. Phew!

Was introduced to Chinmaya Mission. Played the role of Trijitha and Soorpanakha in Kambar Ramayana.

My first crush! :)

2005:

Started actively participating in CHYK activities and found my love for cartooning. Mitranandaji allowed me to make cartoons for a newsletter called Dindimah. Love that time. Supriya helped me with my studies especially Accountancy.

2006:

12th STD! The trip to Sidhabari, Kulu Manali and Rohtang Pass. I still remember sitting on that bench near Gurudev Samadhi and staring at the snow-clad mountains. Beautiful sight, it was!

My first job! :) Orkut addiction.

2007 & 2008:

Trip to Kerala! The lovely people in Kochi, awesome food and the boating.. My sister’s marriage in Tirupathi. Easily the best time in my life.

Quit my first job and moved to Hello! A wacky environment, it was, with a cool set of colleagues. All play and no work. I joined Salsa classes. Life, at it’s best! :)

2009:

None yet! But as suggested by a friend, blogging became a part of my life and I am glad that it did. :)

Finals Finally!!! (Should I be happy?)

This post is aimed at informing everyone reading this post(!?!) that I am finally gearing up for my final war against Madras Univ to get my darn graduation certificate.

Finals Finally! Yes, anticipating examinations all the time can have that effect on you too. Only if you were much bothered about your final year grades. Abhorring books is not unusual but I must say with a heavy heart indeed that Univ books SUCK big time. They may not resemble those fat, pillow-like, easily-scaring-weak-hearted-students-like-me-who-faint-at-the-very-sight-of-such-unpleasant-things type of books but sure I’ve hated them since my second year in BM. The content and its instructional design can be attributed to no less than PATHETIC WORK. Hoards of printing and grammatical errors changing the entire concept to be conveyed makes it all the more PATHETIC! They are more like some kind of rough draft waiting to be proof read. Truly, a self-learning material! I have edited my accounts book more than 27 times. Guess that explains it.

Any course can be misleading by its name. I was extremely excited when I first heard about this course – Banking Management. My love for Accounts made me choose this dumb subject for UG unaware of the consequences. It was only in the second year that I realised how useless the whole course was. The content(again) is extremely worthless. A student only gains little knowledge in the field about financial markets and marketing functions in the banking industry with a few final accounting work. Yeah, if you’re a commerce student, you would’ve probably learnt that way back in 12th std. This is for State board, mind you! CBSE portions will have a lot more.

Anyway, I can only be glad that the hard time is ultimately going to end. I am gonna put an end to it. Yaay! :D

Pray for me, please! Pray that I never should find myself in a position to write these wretched exams again. :( Okay, that was too much. I should go now. Ta!

Oh yeah, wish me luck! I need it. :)

Update: My last day at work cuz I am on leave for a month. I must wind up everything soon. I hope to lose my size zero frame atleast now with all of mom’s food. My first exam is – Credit and Treasury management. Will update more on the disastrous event.

P.S:- Anyone in love with Madras Univ, please ignore me, thank you.

P.P.S:- I would be glad to receive prayers and wishes through comments. :D

Truth of life!

It only seemed like yesterday when they were family;

Centre, my second home, t’was full of glee.

A huge family I couldn’t live without

But two years passed by without a doubt.

Now they were here, in front of me,

Asking me to stay and not flee.

I thought I was away from all that shit

But I couldn’t control even a bit.

What was I thinking? I don’t know.

Memories came flooding and gave me a blow.

I looked at him, it gave me a chill,

For the cheerful man was now so still.

His mother wept throughout,

His brother went paranoid.

All is gone, all is fake,

There is nothing we can take.

A lesson I learnt with strife

That Death is the ultimate truth of life.

I pray, my friends, only this much,

Remember always to keep in touch!

Rest in peace – Vijay and Uncle! dedicated to their family and loved ones…

Tere Naina!

The song:

I saw this movie, Chandni Chowk to China sometime in the month of January. It was crappy as hell. Easily the worst movie I’ve ever seen in my life. There are lot many that are even worse but this one just beats them all for now. However, I wonder missed this song. Tere Naina! If you haven’t heard this song yet, download and listen to it from here. It’s worth it. :)

Tere Naina

I just can’t remember when this song comes in the movie and when the great Mr.Unbuttoner sings for the lovely Ms.Paduka. Must admit that all other songs from this movie were puke inducing except this one, of course.

How the love developed:

Sometime back, a friend played this song in his comp just to flaunt his new speakers. The beats and the lyrics of this song just made me fall in love with it the first time I listened to it. I went up to  him to find out the movie name and copy the song from him. He refused to give me claiming it was copyrighted stuff. Yes.. he is crazy! (don’t ask) After much persuasion, I got hold of the song and till now I listen to it everyday. :)

What’s in the video:

And just a few days later I watched a performance by Gauhar Khan and… I don’t know the guy’s name but I am betting he was the choreographer in a TV show called Jhalak Dikhla Ja! It was apparently a wild card round and so Gauhar got an opportunity to do an amazing performance for this song. Since then this song has been favourite.

I refuse to watch the actual video of this song because this performance is well etched in my mind + CC2C sucsk.  The song is great and so is the performance.

Sung by Shankar Mahadevan and Shreya Ghoshal. Here it is.

P.S:  If this song wasn’t part of the movie, please tell me. I would be pleased with my memory. :) :P
