HALF A DAY WITHOUT ELECTRICITY....

Its sunday n ten in d mornin n am busy orkuttin ,when all of a sudden there is a power cut !!my first reaction wud be ,SHIT!!! cant this wait til i finish commentin for these pics?!?...hmph!!then once d U P S hurries me to switch it off wid its incessant beeps ,along with my brothers voice boomin across d hall sayin,"Sindhu switch off d comp NOW!!!!!"in a hurry i Alt+F4 everything,i switch off mains n i take a small walk inside the house...As i step outside the room,my grand mom whines cos she jus missed watchin her favourite serial ,i go past d tv n sad her to my bro who is busy wid his mobile tokin to someone seriously...leavin him alone i peep into my dads room who is havin short nap i let him rest,i jus give a quick a glance at ma neighbours house...gud so its not jus my place(mean me) n i go to my mom who is in d kitchen ...nw she is frettin cos d power cut has wrecked her cookin plans...i can c d half ground batter, n electric cooker emmitin no light..she just leaves everythin as it as n sits in d dinin chair....bro enters now n is frustrated cos d battery in his mobile has drained ...quiet contradictorily am bein yelled cos he claims that i drained his battery by playin quadra pop !As if i knew that there wud be a power cut ...Now this is gettin heights...he always vents his feelings on me...he....

             Ok back to power cut ...Dad wakes up cos it is too sultry to sleep in a room wid no fan...he is suprised to see all 3 of us in d dining table ....now that has been my dads wish !all of us sittin together n havin a meal ...v weren havin a meal although v were jus sittin together each pensive abt wat to do next ....So wt next....dad who is a lil elated to have all of us together starts tokin abt d importance of electricity...zzzz....i get a call YIPPEE!! i give a dirty look at my bro which says I-still-have-enough-charge-in-my-mob!!n he jus turns away..poor he...Its one of my frens she updates me of d fact tht there is no electricity at her place either ....v vent abt it for a while and then v go on wid our usual gossips abt who is goin out wid who... who broke up wid who...n how break ups ve become a trend...hw hurtful it is...how......

             ok again bk to power cut...i go on tokin wid her n many other frens who ve been callin me, conversations brimmin n bubblin wid interstin topics ...Although its a lil hard to tok wid full enthusiasm cos there is an eerie silence prevailin out there...so i jus contain myself n i go ahead wid d never endin stories...All of a sudden my mobile  lets out a beep indicatin me to put it for charge ...as if i wudn...1100 its jus tht i cant!!!pl don drain pl don drain ...i keep tellin this as if it ws some self hypnosis...but it is ruthless...it gives me three long beeps and it shows me a blank screen !god!! now i feel thoroughly dumb cud have saved some for later!!sheesh am snapped ties wid d entire world outside my house!!!

             i again get out of my room to c mom n grand mom makin a conventional meal without dependin on the electric cooker,grinder,or d mixie...Dad is engrossed in a book ,bro jus zoomed outta d house wid his bike (lucky guys!)there is no alternative left!!no comp,no mob,no mp3 ,no tv ..hold on may be i can read somethin!!i take a novel which i bought long bk but kept it the way it ws at d book stall...i read read n read till mom calls me to hav lunch....bro comes home by now all tire n weary ...v r in d table together havin our meal...dads long term wish is fulfilled...after lunch i again go back to read and i finsh d novel .....not bad my readin prowess r still intact...i don remeber the last time i finished a book in a couple of sittings...am driven to sleep n when i am up all i c is darkness which i saw when i ws asleep....

            i step outta d room after pushin n bumpin on to things ...i see a candle light flickerin again in todays most used room.. All of them again sittin n havin casual chats abt frens,work place, etc..i join in and v tok tok n tok all of a sudden i realise its been ages since i spoke to ppl at home like this...in spite of d heat n d damn mosquitoes, i did have a gud tym wid my family...v even spoke abt how less v ve been speakin off late ...hmm all cos v r a wrath to electricity...

           v decided to make it a point to talk on daily basis from ten to eleven...mom again served dinner for d day and v were amidst dinner when the power re gained....we all sighed a relief unanimously  n continued wid our meal....it suddenly striked me ...1100 needs to be charged ...dunno if it ws some kind of telepathy tht worked between me n my bro...together we bith headed straight to our respective mobile phones put them for charge and we impatiently switched them on to check out d new messages(of which we were flooded)...my fren who i last spoke to calls to update me again..."hey current vanditchu"!!sweet!!!then my plate still in hand mob in charge n in my ear i chew my food n simultaneously listen to her tokin....who on d other side is doin d same thing... 

          by the time i finish my meal grandmom is back to watch d last bit of her fav serial,mom again grindin d batter.dad tunin on to d radio for d days news,am  done talkin wid her n i go to bed...dawn n dusk pass by its now its ten pm me on orkut eatin my dinner simultaneously, bro wid his mob, dad listenin to AIR news,mom fidgettin wid d old mixie, gran mom cryin over d serial...now how much influence do edison n tesla have upon us???may be  v shud wait till d next power cut!!

           

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOWMI!!!

Sowmiya…a person very very close to ma heart…she is simply more than a fren to me...if not for her I really dunno if I wud be wat I am now….this lass has been there throughout all d gud n bad times of ma life…life has become more meaningful n ll continue to be cos of the difference she has embarked in my life…so this is a dedication as to how much I value her n cherish d moments v spent together…d lil things she did turned out to be great things which went straight into ma heart…..this is a post jus for u guys to know how special she is to me…
I was a very reserved person in ma high school n was at d loss of frens to who I cud turn up to ,have fun,share a jibe, hang out , most of al share my feelings wid…perhaps my anxiety concernin this was apparent to one of our common frens gayathri n she in introduced me to sowmiya …life changed a lot since then..i instantly liked for her dimply smile,bubbly toks, n down to earth warm attitude…I ve never vibed so well wid anyone but sow in such a short span…she used to invite me to her class for lunch… n i had those best times of school life back then….through her I began to move wid d most wonderful ppl on earth…it was new for someone who never spoke up there were alws a gang of frens ready to listen to ma woes ….d best thing in ma school life was d snacks n lunch breaks cos at d stroke of d bell I wud rush to XII-I…at school sow n me had fun hanged out but we weren’t al dat close…she had to go to Mumbai since she decided to pursue her C.A there…so durin april n may v guys made u use of al d tym to hang out …times at shuttle court,Gandhi park, creamy inn, fruit shop,etc etc r d best unforgettable moments for al of us…sow played an integral role in this cos she was d one who got us al together laid out d plans n made sure everyone were there….she was so meticulous in such things….even back at school she was an ideal student no wonder she was d subject topper for accounts ……..
Once she left to Mumbai I tot ll be losin one wonderful person in life…but here sowmi proved me wrong!!!she made it a point to call me every week…it wasn jus me she did dat to al our frens who missed her badly…this gesture of stayin in touch despite d distance showed me how much she valued our frenship…over d time myself n sowmi bcame very close n am so proud to have a fren like her!!! As a person ve seen her growin …she has reduced her temper a gr8 deal…she has learnt to accept things d way they r…which al takes her from d good to d best…an epitome of perfectness n responsibility…
The bond tht me n sowmi share is d most priced n valuble…she has donned different roles jus when I need her she has been my best fren,confidant,philosopher n guide…I can turn onto her for any kinda advice,help,solace,doubt etc…she has alws been there for me…(except durin her kadalai sessions;))..d most remarkable aspect of her character is she is sooo empathetic….she exactly undergoes d pain or happiness which u tell her…she cries wid ya laughs wid ya n definitely means all those…now this is something ve never seen in anyone before n dats wat drove me closer to her n that’s d reason y I make it a point to tell sowmi anythin tht happens in ma life in d very first place…she has immense maturity, understandin n a no nonsense attitude!!!
She was d one who helped me take many decisions in life she is more like a personal diary to me…she is an awesome package of love ,care,share,sympathy,empathy,trust,understandin,maturity,warmth,sense of humour,spontenity,style ,attitude and a great respect for frenship…As far as I kno sowmi has been d responsible daughter,ideal student, trusty confidant, soothing solace, understandin u know wat, cool gal, n my best best fren!!!!
On this wonderful day I would like to wish her a very happy birthday wid gud health n luck!!may god bless her wid al dat she wants n more…sowmi, u seriously made a difference in ma life…I am wat I am now cos of ur presence guidance,support n love…your d best sow…I cant imagine life without you…I wan u 2 be der wid me alws..be d same n never change…I owe you soooo much…ma best wishes love n warmth to my darling sowmi!!!u deserve nothing less than d best!!!love ya loads sweety!!! n HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Note:Sowmi was d one who asked me to become a blogger,hence a dedication here else it wud be usually letters fom me to her…n sowmi, u certainly deserve more than jus a testimonial on orkut!!!luv ya!!

WHAT NEXT???

When i was in ma first grade my dad was fillin ma bio data form ,he called me n asked wat i wanted to become when i grow up? like now n always i was clueless abt it n simply said dunno...my dad tot for a while n wrote "a good citizen" i jus tot to myself n was anxious cos i had to answer him d next year...days n months rolled by n came d next year where i used to adore my class teacher so when this question cropped up i replied- teacher...then d followin year i fell sick quiet often n i used to have regular check ups at d hospital n became familiar wid medicines, injections etc n i din have second tots of becomin a doctor....that aim stayed awhile in my mind cos i was constantly exposed to hospitals....somewhere in ma sixth grade i watched a movie where d protagonist was a lawyer n he was so charismatic n eloquent n i made up ma mind to becom a lawyer then 3 yrs later i came across shiv kheras book-freedom is not free...it highlighted the corrupt bureaucracy n my conscience said it was not right to play d blame game so i decided to get into civil service therby servin d nation ...it was not jus this to take up d civil service exams d only eligibility is a degree ANY degree n i was no good at d sciences although my parents were keen on puttin me into some professional course ...i used to fair well only in english n thus i decided i wud do a major in it n take up the civil service after i complete d course...all was well n i even challenged my frens sayin"na oru nal kandipa i a s ayi{;)} katren they burst into peals of laughter!!!then came home a magazine which bought out d fact that it was so difficult to crack the exam n only 500 outta 500000 were successful i a s officers....hmm my confidence tumbled down readin it that was it there i stopped braggin abt becomin an i a s officer ..now am in ma second year i recently came to know abt human resource n public relations so am aimin a career in it shud i do a mba?? or am pretty good at english so if i remain thinkin like this for few more years i would land up becomin a lecturer in my own college!! no no i don wan that its not wat i want!!!wat next is a question which everyone asks me...how do i make them understan that am not sure cos i dunno which next field is gonna woo me to change my mind....ya now c ma moms been yellin sayin -ur always in front of d comp think of ur future instead of wastin time WAT NEXT!?!? n al this while ve been lamentin abt ma sad state....

ON WRITIN A BLOG...

This is ma first ever blog ...hmmm well wats a blog??k let me tell u how all this began the first time i encounter this four letter word is in an article ,exclusively dedicated to this on readers digest (dated ages back) in fact i remember skippin that article n goin on wid one of ma favourite magazines... few months back i came to know d big shots of bollywood n elsewhere pourin in their emotions on their blogs..(readin filmy magazines always helped)...now this aroused my interest... once i chanced upon ma cousins blog(a series of very interestin entries with a tinge of humor n sarcasm which one wud love to ponder upon )and it resulted in a conversation between me n my close fren sow...she suggested sayin that i should definately become a blogger n i decided to go check wat it is exactly....before that i had to undergo the series of usual procedures of typin out ma name mail address n a twisted confusin word(meant to confuse u)n thus i ended up here typin this text out..so this must be it ...A BLOG...Whoa!!! so my first entry is done...whereas all this while i had been broodin upon wat to write on ma first blog...
