When friendz fight!!!!!!

Am sure every single soul on this earth who has one genuine friend would have experienced what it is like when the dear person is not in touch.... It creates unfathomable, unexplainable and unbearable pain which would make u feel that dying is better... or u could jus melt urself away rather than face it..... jus disappear..... One small misplaced word, misplaced emotion can play havoc.... Its true that u could jus start talking to an perfect stranger n become thick friends..... such things happen very rarely..... Friendship is like a sapling which needs constant attention and care to hold to its ground firmly....its based on this stability that the small plant grows into a tree and bestows bountiful joy......

When friends fight, the entire world comes crumbling down.... small things and incidences which had resulted in a laughter riot earlier seems irritating and mundane...... Betrayal, disappointment, anger, frustration, aloofness, depression, irritability...... the feeling is a mixture of all these.....and above all, its the pain..... the heart aches incessantly...the only wishful feeling is 'how i wish it had not happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' ............We tend to think 'Oh God, y with me????'

Its a person's ego that prevents him/her from talking out the misunderstanding..... The smallest misunderstanding, if left unattended to, can cost a lifetime unhappiness (because u can never forget a genuine friend no matter how bad he/she had been to u) whenever a thought about that (ex) friend crosses ur mind..... Of course, there are some who talk at the friend's back..... I dont include them here.... they jus simply dont deserve...
Its been well said that ' A person can cope-up with the death of a close friend (the fond memories are enough to keep one going), but not with the death of friendship'. It creates a lacuna in the heart which no one else can fill.....

A moment of stupidity could destroy a friendship, but jus imagine the world of happiness it would bring if u could sort it out??? At times a third person may be needed to tighten those loosened nuts...... So never let go a chance of being a screwdriver....it could make a world of difference to someone... Its only that i dont have a screwdriver....

So people, think twice...... Learn to shed ur egos a bit... n never hesitate to give ur friend a second chance....... Maybe that could be your only chance.......i did it n am happy i did..... Yes, the hard feelings cannot be cured completely, at least they could be tended to with ur friend's regained love and affection
Dont let betrayal be the reason for remembering ur friend!!!!!!

Friendz forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If we were in a different world!!!!!

We all are always scared of ghosts!!! isn't it??? Well well, i should confess i was even scared to write this blog for the fear that I might hurt their sentiments... (if they really do exist!!!) Of course its another thing that some might feel that when u (dont want to mention who!!) n me can exist, they can also (they r better than us...) 'n' its for that someone that i have decided to write this blog. Dont ask me if i believe in them.... I JUS BELIEVE IN GOD, NOTHING ELSE.....
Keeping aside the fear factor (effect of those bloodchilling, creepy n frightening movies...)...... jus imagine the advantages of being a ghost ('good', 'humble' n 'sweet' ghost i mean....)
1. Can watch ur favorite star's most awaited movie....first day first show... no tickets required... u could jus sit in one corner or keep flying above the audience..

2. Watch a cricket match standing right next to the umpire or wicket keeper... (Oh wow!!!)

3. Sit on the beach sand well past midnight

4. Travel in buses, flight or train (if u r bored of flying or just disappearing from one place n appearing in another) free of cost (wel wel, as humans, some have done that in buses...U dont have to be a ghost to do that!!!)

5. Fly off to places of ur choice.. (Australia, Antarctica....my favorites)

6. Climb mount Everest (u can fly of course...)

7. Sit in a chocolate factory for days (esp Chocolate Almond) n hog as much as u want..... (one technical question arising here would be 'how can a ghost touch, feel n eat something??' right?? Well i jus told u na 'good', 'humble' n 'sweet' ghost... So its possible!!!!!

8. In India-Aus match, help the Indians by distracting the Aussies... (not fair i know.... but my patriotism is superior to gamesmanship!!!!)

9. Walk in the middle of Mount road at 9.30 am

10. Jump along with the descending water in Niagara falls

11. Explore Bermuda triangle

12. Walk in the middle of Ocean

13. Dive into Great barrier reef

14. Jump into a volcano

15. Walk through Amazon forests

16. Sleep in a Lion's cave..................

Hey, the list is growing long!!! OMG!! Hey me feelin' scary again... wil stop here.... My human conscience is stopping me........

Biology classifies my friend n I under 'Homo sapiens' (though if u ask some of our teachers, they would feel otherwise!!!) !!!!

Happy to be a human being!!!!......always......

Ganapathy Bappa Mourya!!!! (Hez always there to save me..)

My trip to heaven!!

Saturday (13 Oct 2007) wil be one of the most memorable days in my life!!! A trip to my own place.......my heaven... the name of the place is Sreemushnam...Till that day, Sreemushnam had jus been a part of my name....... was told it was once owned by my great grandfather...so the name would run down the generations... Sreemushnam is a kutti village close to Chidambaram.. A huge temple right in the heart of Sreemushnam!!!!!. The temple is considered as one of the 8 'Swayamvruksha sthalams'.. We were told by the temple priest that offering our prayers at this temple was equivalent to offering prayers at all the 108 Divya Desams.. A person gets the 'Punya' of having visited all the 108 shrines....a shortcut to Moksha i should say!! I felt totally at home there...everything seemed so familiar..so dear...the affection was almost instantaneous.. I jus stood there admiring the beauty of the place.. The fact that my great grandparents had been in and around that place for their lifetime churned out mixed emotions. I felt happy (for having visited their home), sad (that i could never ever be with them), proud.... the emotion is just unexplainable..No money or wealth can bring back that feeling... How i wished i could freeze that moment n stay there forever.... but lo, here i am, blogging...:). Well, am happy i at least got an opportunity to be there.. This experience is sufficient to last a life-long...enough life force to drive me around...
I feel very proud & privileged to have been born in this great family... This visit would forever remain etched in my memory........
My sincere pranams to my ancestors

An Emotional Friday

Hurray, the weekend is round the corner!!! Everyone waits for those 2 wonderful days!!! As a result, Friday is a day everybody looks forward to... But this Friday is different!!! Its my mentor's last working day at office..... An silent thinker; clear-minded, authoritative (she deserves to be!!!) but a friendly person.... I started my research career as a member of her glorious team..... my God!! what fun we had!! we were a bunch of 7 researchers in her team....only if we had 2 more, i could say navagrahams!! in the sense, we all were strikingly different... we gelled well as a team! meeting our targets ahead of schedule.....we had loads of fun... our weekend started by Thursday afternoon for we were through for the week by then... Chamu, my mentor (THE TL actually) never complained... I fondly call her Guruji.... for she was a guruji for us in many sorts..... we have had our moments of laughter, heated arguments, meetings (the way she would refer to us 'enn eniya makkalay'!!!).... those were the wonderful days!!! i would give up anything professionally to be back in her team... It was her confidence in my abilities which made me a TL in less than 3 months... I owe it to her in a way!!! Shez always been there to clear my silliest of doubts...

Am sure to miss u Guruji...

U balanced things well........ the best thing is u shared our bit too!!!! U r leaving behind shoes which no one else can fill........ hey too senti senti na... well on the cranky side, many people cannot have the same shoe size na!!!! ;) jokes apart, everything what am telling is right from the bottom right corner (!!!) of my heart!!! I have heard ki thats where our emotions are stored!![I have left out my debate here.. when brain is the organ responsible for our thoughts, how can we feel sad or happy or emotional from our heart???] My friends sree n bhavi, "dont grit ur teeth after reading this"!! I have eaten their brain (rather heart) enough fighting over this matter!!!

Hey Guruji, sure to miss u............... I wish u loads of happiness n pleasant surprises in the wonderful life u are about to start.....

MISS U ALWAYS!!!

PS: Hey chamu, after all these, at least now will u get me homemade avial?? I'll surely be there for ur wedding!! I'll land in the Mandapam when the previous kalyana party is still there!!!

Eagerly awaiting avial!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Popcorn's day out!!!!!!!!!

Well well, my friend dhu dhu wanted me to write a story or an incident in my life.. So suddenly remembered my popcorn making adventurous, ambitious project.... :) This happened when i was in 12th Std. My friend came to me beaming on a Monday morning.... Being a curious pot, I asked her right away... Almost expecting my question, she blurted out that she had made popcorn at home (successfully) the previous day (Sunday of course)... I was surprised... till then i didnt know that even a lay person could make popcorn.....at home!!!! without that revolving drum... (sorry...i donno the name of the equipment...) if u r not aware.... jus check out at Sathyam....... I asked her the procedure n decided to try it out at home the same day.... The day seemed to be unusually long... couldn't hide my excitement.... After reaching home, i took money n dashed to the nearest store to buy corn.. After succeeding in buying one, i returned home elated... After much of begging, my mom suspiciously agreed to lend me her neat n tidy kitchen to try out my project.... My mom kept asking if i knew the procedure... Well i quickly ran my friend's conversation in my mind... I wanted to tell my mom [am not sure...] but out came the reply... (To my surprise!!!) Yes ma... So i took the kadai, added salt, turmeric, chilli powder as my friend had told... n finally the corn.. (hey copyrights reserved for my recipe... no plagiarism!!!!..). i kept tossing n tossing....nothing happened...then finally it happened!!!! One corn jus burst open...n there!!!! I could see the familiar popcorn.... i was overjoyed!!!! jus wanted to call my mom n show her my masterpiece!!! She was in the pooja room (very pious she is!... was probably praying that her kitchen should be safe n sound at the end of my gatecrash!!!!) But OMG, before i could open my mouth to call my mom, something hit me on my face!!.......n then right on my head!!!!!.. I was too stunned to call my mom, witnessing what was happening before my eyes..... All the corns in the kadai were popping n flying in all directions... some of them managed to target me...I couldnt comprehend what was happening..I thought something was wrong, jus turned-off the gas n ran out to my mom... My mom saw my terrorized face n was alarmed!!! But something brought a naughty smile on her face.. She rushed to the kitchen.... n lo.....the entire kitchen was filled with popcorn.. Popcorn on the kitchen table, over the water pail, floor, window, sink...cooker....everywhere....except in the kadai where it was prepared!!!!!!.....What a scene it was!! My mom's kitchen had become 'Me the great's playground'... Was preparing myself for my mom's words....but she started laughing.... I was confused.... She slowly picked up a popcorn from my head....Well i should say the popped corn was very loyal... it had stood firm there (clinging) inspite of my PT Usha sprint to call my mom!!!! My mom couldnt help laughing.... I felt bad initially, but thought it wise to laugh with her... I wiped the tears of joy n picked up the popcorns.. Was happy that even i had succeeded!!! The next day, I told my friend; after making her promise 'n' number of times that she wouldnt tell anybody nor would she burst out laughing........ n finally when i did tell her, my my!!!!!! i should say the popcorns burst a bit gently.... She roared with laughter.... Finally, when she was in a speakable stage, she said ( of course in between her laughter riot) that i had forgotten something major!!!!! ---------To close the kadai after adding the corns!!!!!! Gosh, what a mistake that was!!!!! Well, till today, i have never made popcorn at home... However, whenever, i pick up popcorn during the interval at theatres, i remember that great day and a smile crosses my mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What starving is like!

Well, as usual , towards the end of the day at office, i was hungry... my hunger pangs were aggravated by the thought that my friend Sree would be having samosas on her way home...... Was desperate to dash home n gobble whatever came my way....within my reach.. As i entered my sweet home.... i announced (as usual) that am hungry... my bhabi gave me a sympathetic look (unusual).....my mom too..... terror struck me to even think that there is possibly nothing readymade for me to eat... My mom said i could have dinner in another 10 mins....but after visualizing my friend happily devouring the samosas, i couldnt settle down for rice.... oh no!!! V had run out of chocolates stock...(well well i should confess that with 'ME THE GREAT' around, my mom could never succeed in stocking up chocolates..) :) Not even biscuits.... Oh how i love biscuits.... My affection for biscuits shot up astronomically yesterday.... Finally, i solemnly had the normal biscuit (dont wanna reveal the brand... dont want to be sued by the company!!!!!) which i had stocked to feed the mango tree baby kaka which visits me everyday.. I felt guilty though for having eaten its share.. :(

My orkut astro had said "luck is on your way". Was wondering if that luck had taken the wrong route again... Being an staunch Orkuter, my luck finally did click.. On the way bac from my regular temple visit, i bought butter biscuits which i happily hogged after reaching home.. My bro got chocolates (US) which his colleague had gifted.. My day was done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Orkut ki jai ho!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
