LiFe Is a DRamA

12/11/2010, Friday I have known her since my 9th standard. In fact, when I joined Chettinad Vidyashram, she was the first girl I had befriended. It was really amazing to see her getting married to the guy of her choice. But I guess, she still hasn't changed, at least not towards me and my perception.  The reception was held on the 11th evening at the sai baba temple, at injambakkam. For the ones with lesser sense of direction, that's on the East Coast Road in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The guy (Satish, who also happened to be her college senior) was in a suit, which felt kind of weird seeing all the males from both the girl's and the guy's...

I have been in contact with most of my friends and they all seem to know exactly what they are after. But when I think back about what exactly I would like to do with my life, I am totally clueless, not having a goal in life. Kind of makes me empathise with the character of Hrithik Roshan in the movie 'Lakshya'. The fact is I have no idea what I would like to do with my life. This includes my career as well. I love to stand out, but currently I just seem to be going with the flow and having not much of a say in the whole incident. Take my transfer for example. I have applied to Chennai for transfer.  (Q). Why did I do that? (A). I want to go Chennai. (Q). Will it help me career?...

    Ever had a sales guy walk in and make you buy something totally unnecessary.    It is a very confusing experience, let me tell you that. Today morning a kid came in selling carpets, and I had refused him immediately. But my roommate (actually my housemate), got a sudden urge to check it out the carpets. So what does it do? He invites the kid in.    Now am not telling that the carpets were bad, but there was not necessary for us. And the price the kid quoted for them was around 1400/-. That totally evaporated my roomies interest from buying them. Now to get rid of the kid he quoted a price in return, which was around 300/- to 200/-....

17/04/2010, Sat: Before you guys start making some wild assumptions, it's not a baby, in fact it's not human at all. But she acts every bit as human as possible, starting from understanding to what we tell her to scolding us. She is our pet kitten, kitty. Thank my bro for the name; he came up with something that was very easy to remember about a kitten. He found her when she was trying to be a heroine trying to cross a busy street, and he tells me that she was very calm and quite the whole day. In fact, she was sleeping on his lap the whole journey from the captured spot to home. Mom, like usually downright refused to her in. But after a...

15/April/2010, Thu: Vishu, one of the most important festivals for keralites. Being celebrates in the new for the first time.All the family has a chance to be together after quite a long time.I guess that enough reason for anyone to be home. Same here! Thankfully unlike all her other activities, my manager never rejects the applied leaves of any of her team mates. Reached home on the morning of the 14th, this was the Tamil New Year. Now, another importance of this Vishu is that the entire family was together after 6 months. The last time all of us got together was in during October, 2009 in the previous house. Moreover, it's the first time everyone is together in the new house for the first...

12/04/2010, Mon: It was towards the evening at ECC [Employee Care Centre] (one of the only good spots in the Mysore campus), since both myself and Dot forgot to bring the swimming trunks, ruling out swimming, we decided to go for a steam bath. Eventually, it was just a bath. Coming out near the swimming it was a sight to behold, with the sky having darkened to a hellish degree. In fact, it gave an impression of an extremely angry bull, approaching. That was when I first heard the thunderous roar of the storm to come. As if on auto drive, I gave all my belongings to Dot for safe keeping and ran out into the open. I made it on time, with the rain striking at the exact moment. Guess what was...

10/04/2010, Sat: Actually it was not like we had a choice. Our maid had not shown up for over 2 weeks. Which means the state of the house was pretty messed up, especially with three bachelors living together. Like my mom usually says, such places lack a feminine touch. So true! Any ways, thankfully, that morning the electrician showed up. The ceiling fans in both mine as well as Dot's room had completed their tenure and needed a good tune up. With him being there, we had to move the beds around. And I don't know what happened, but it inspired both of us to finish with the cleaning of least the bedrooms and the bathroom. Being armatures, I can say that we did a pretty good job, especially...
