Miss u friends !!

A photo in one of my friend's blog lighted all the old memories in me.
This reminds of me , the fun and farewell I had on last day

After College, I made friends for my life at my first job.This life was an extension of my college life .

Just after college days were over, when I was at Chennai looking for a job, It was a whole different experience for me. I used to feel lost whenever I met people of my age who were very fluent in English,the way they were independent and enjoied their life.Life was not the same as it used to be at college.But I had nice five friends who helped me a lot to overcome my inhibitions.Everybody was friendly in different ways :)

I cannot forget my last day at office..the fun I had with my friends, great lunch we had at Komalas, where the waitress misinterpreted the party as birthday party and played a birthday song for me

But Life changes and We need to keep going on...And I am here missing my friends and my old days...

It reminds me of a Sujatha's dialogue from film Muthalvan
"புகழ், VCRல இருக்கற மாதிரி வாழ்க்கைலயும் ஒரு Rewind button இருந்தால் எவ்வளவு நல்லா இருக்கும்??"

Google talk in Gmail

I saw a new setting in today.
Chat - It automatically saves the Google talk chat history in mails.

This is an attractive feature, atleast to me. I can save my chat in my gmail, whenever I like to.
So I can read it whenever I feel to read my old interesting conversations with my friends/relatives.

A short prayer ?!!?

Oh God,
Please try to make me understand that the house will not get vaccumed by itself , vessels will not get washed automatically...I need to get up and do it...
Thank u
Lazy me

Rang De Basanti

After having read so many positive reviews about the film, I was waiting to watch the movie and I finally watched it. The reviews were apt.
I cannot express in words about the movie- WOW!!!- Thats what I felt about it.

Few aspects which I liked in film were:

1. I always wondered even if one Britisher was not conscious in the olden days about our struggle. This film sees the struggle of Indians in olden days thru the eyes of a Britisher. This is the best part I liked about the film.
   
2. Music , worth to mention, has blended into film unlike where most of songs are picturised out of the film. Nice work of ARR!!
3. Siddharth and Sharman Joshi have acted out very well..Casual acting...Especially the scene where they have a running competition and everybdoy tries to run, but he would walk casually.
4. Dialogues are worth mentioning...One of them- "There are two ways to live life- Either tolerate the way it is Or take responsibilty and change it.So try to take responsibility and try to change our country "
   
5. A nice team effort to show the patriotism in a simple different way.....From Aamir to Madhavan, Good Acting
   

This film has its own minuses, but It correlates the past and present at a different angle.

Only few films makes me to think.This is definitely one of them.
Am I taking responsibility Or Should I not be taking?

But Overalll, Film is worth to watch !!!

Weekend

After a long time, We went to New York.

I like to walk in the streets to see the tall magnificient buildings.This time we planned to visit UNO .But the plan was sothappal :(.UNO does not allow visitors in January and February.So We jus saw the UNO building from the gates.




So என்ன செய்ய, jus thought we'll jus spend time by walking on the streets.I have seen few artists on the road, who draw funny portraits of us, if we pose to them. I wanted to do it..So I insisted on doing it..again plan sothappal :( No artist was there on the streets...

So eppo என்ன செய்ய, jus to while away the time, We thought we would visit "Hotel Saravana bhavan"- Long term planned place to go!! Atlast this plan was fine .It was open.
உள்ளே போனதும் எங்ஙும் தமிழ்..ஒரு சின்ன சந்தோஷம...

Few minutes later, a friends group entered in.I was overhearing the conversation.(திருந்த மாட்டியா- என் மனசாட்சி !!!)

Person 1: Ladies எல்லாம் ஒரு இடத்தில் உக்காருங்க..... (ஆஹா திருந்த மாட்டங்ஙடா !!!!)

Person 2 : மைசூர் போன்டாவில் மைசூர் இருக்குமா...(ஓய்ய் இந்த ஜோக்கை நாங்க எப்பவோ கேட்ருக்கோம்)

Person 3 to the Waitress: Last time, I came looking for ur hotel, but it was closed.So I ate at duplicate Saravanaaas.
Immediately she:டூப்லிகேட் டூப்லிகேட் தான்...ஓரிஜினல் போலே வரும்மா..... (ஆஹா இந்த மாதிரி பேச்சை கேட்டு ரொம்ப நாள் ஆச்சு...)

So we had dinner, went back to bus stand and got back to home...

This is how my weekend passed by!!!

எனக்கு என்ன எழுதுவது என தெரியலை...so jus wrote down this...

Why am I reluctant to say my opinions?

I always refrain from giving opinions. Whenever my friends/relatives discuss a topic, I always feel safe to be on neutral side. I just don't want to disagree with anybody.
Lately I feel that's not right.I feel it would be fine If I am more assertive in giving my opinions straight from my heart.

So nowadays I try to write what I feel, I try to talk what I think.But even then its difficult for me sometimes.Even now I sometimes take the neutral side if people don't like my opinion after disclosing it.

God, I need to change it gradually..

Ek thithali...Anek thithaliyaaan

Earlier, in our school days, DD used to broadcast an animated song

Ek chidiya ...Anek chidiyaaann....

I saw the same video again after so many years.Nice memorable one..

Numbers

Few days back, I read in one of the blogs how that blogger gives importance to numbers in his day to day work. Jus thought why not write about what I do with numbers.

-> I used to always say 7 whenever i need to say a number or include it in my username.
-> I used to always do things when minutes ends up with 5 or 0 i.e. if suppose time is 5:23 and I need to wake up, I used to postpone it until clock strikes 5:25.
-> Whenever I excercise, I always do until the time ends with 0.
Earlier when I used to walk from my bus stop to my home, I tried to reach home within a time that ends up with 0.

To consummate, My favorite number is 7.My registered number at college was 98EC07 and my classmates used to tease me always as Log 7.So even after college, I am still continuing to have it as my favourite.

All these doing work by numbers are weird but still I just go by it.

On a different note, Some of the other weirdest things that I always do:
Whenever I shop, I buy a choclate..
Whenever I go to a stationary shop, I buy a pen.
Whenever I listen to music, the first song that I hear is Iravaaa pagalaaa...
Whenever I browse, I click any links related to Surya.
Whenever I write as points, I format them with bullets
Whenever I mail, I include atleast 1 :)

But these things makes my life interesting!!!

Just share if u do anything interesting with numbers. :)

Republic Day Wishes

Happy Republic Day.
Let us remember the leaders who loved India, our nation



Note: I just tried to draw this using Paint

Costly Spelling mistakes

I feel it’s really worth when teachers emphasize on spellings in our English classes. This is just because of a silly mistake I made few months back in my wedding card.I read the blueprint of the card, but did not make out that the word “celebrate” was misprinted as “celebtate”.Only after I received my invitations, my sister found out the mistake.I had to re-print the cards because of a silly mistake of mine

This reminds me of a mail, where all letters in all words except the first and last letters is wrongly written, but still we could interpret those words!! I did the same mistake !!

May be everybody else will not be like me

But this was quite a good lesson learnt in spellings

Just a Try to Write A Short Story

Every time he crosses the road, he used to watch her. Sometimes, he used to stop his bike and look at her.He used to mention about her and her smile to his friends. Just like other days, when he crossed the road, he looked for her. She was not there and He missed her...

The hoarding of Jo was removed due to heavy winds and rain!!

I jus don't know why

Sometimes some people, who really don't have any genuine interest on me , just show their interest or care (or whatsoever they refer to) by enquiring too many personal questions about me to me. I jus get annoyed by these individuals !!! :(

Few favourite lyrics of mine

"Azhage Sugama- Parthale Paravasam"

This song is an epitome of melody, ARR has composed very well and I am an ardent fan of Sadhana sargam.
I have always admired her for her pronunciation though she does not know Tamil well.
Especially the following lines

வாழ்க்கை ஒரு வட்டம் போல்
முடிந்த இடத்தில் தொடங்காதா

" O Vennila -Kadhal Desam"

தருகின்ற பொருளாய் காதல் இல்லை
தந்தாலே காதல் காதல் இல்லை

"Melliname Melliname -Shahjahan"

பகவான் பேசுவது இல்லை
ஆனால் பக்தியும் குறைவதுவும் இல்லை

Pleasant Nostalgia

After a long time, I talked with my very old school friend.I somehow lost in touch with her but luckily I caught her as she was at her home town.

We had been cycling to schools , tuitions together.Every time we were cycling , we had lots of conversations about each and everything around us.

During college days, we used to chat only when we were back at homes from hostels .

After College, I shifted to Chennai , she was at Tirunelveli and We used to phone once in a blue moon.

Things changed, she got married and went to London..The communication nearly stopped

A few days back, I got to know that she was at Tirunelveli. As I had her tvl address alone, I searched her number in BSNL website .Thanks to BSNL, I got her phone number and I called her

It was very pleasant to talk with an old friend with whom I had lost contact

Pleasant incident to start the day with!!

Its since long time, I have thought I should be writing about the FM transmitter we got...
Its a small and simple device...but I find it a great companion..

I was getting bored, playing the same set of songs repetitively in the Cassette player in Car due to limited number of Tamil cassettes available and change to CD player would take a couple of more months

When I saw this FM transmitter, I found it very useful...esp. to me...

Jus insert the FM transmitter in the headphone socket of iPod, and turn both the devices ON.
Set the FM transmitter to a frequency btw 88 MHz and 89 MHz.

Thank GOD!!, except 88.1, other FM frequencies have stations transmitting.
So I jus need to stick onto 88.1, but now I hear a variety of songs...

Bye Bye 2005

Happy New Year 2006
