A long cherished dream comes true.....

I finally have got what I wanted!!!

The freedom to take out the 2 wheeler or car when i want to!!!

MY TRYST WITH...

Hmmm... Quite a few days gone by since I sat before the computer to do something other than watch movies... And then when i was watching OSO for nearly the 4th time, I realized.."oh my!!..I am now into blogging".. and I hurried to check what my last post was...

Well.. November has been a busy month... There were so many things I was looking forward to...

• Semester Exams (hmmm.. was i looking forward to them??? i dunno)
• Diwali
• My Birthday and a couple of my friends' too
• The hosts of treats we had planned out
• The Movies (oso, sawariya, atm, vel, kanamuchi...)
• Holidays(after quite sometime)

I wanted to enjoy myself to the maximum.. eat out as often as possible... go to every movie.. hang out with friends... go for long rides on my 2 wheeler... read tons of novels...in short lead a totally care-free life.... doing just wat i want!!!

But then, "Man proposes, God Disposes!!!"...I realised how true it is, when I got the reports saying I had jaundice...(of all things).. and that too one day before Diwali...

Gone were all the mighty plans... I was to take bed rest.. with a very very bland diet... (thank u ma for making that as tasty as possible, that bhel that u make for me, nothing can beat it!!!)... and no books.. no tv... no computer for long hours... and for some days no cell either... Now thats something I cant be without!!!

No BOOKS meant No EXAMS either... so I skipped 2 of them... withdrew from them to be precise.. sigh :( what a procedure that is.. I felt it wud be simpler to write math n software rather than withdraw.. but thanks to my dad.. he went to coll the very next day and submitted the form..

so now there was nothing to do... i managed to convine my parents that it wudnt do me harm if i were to read books... and so got hp5.. I started reading the sries very recently.. and then the 6th... finished them during the long holidays in btwn exams..

When I went to coll later to write the other 2 papers, there were so many comments about how tired i was looking.. how thin i had become.. etc etc.. and after the exams, I was cursing myself as to why i wrote the papers!! They were damn tough!!!

i cudnt of course strain myself too much.. so it was quite a surprise when i was allowed to go to a couple of movies... enjoyed both oso and kanamuchi immensely.. and waiting to watch the rest..

well, this tryst with jaundice has been quite an experience and it still continues... no normal food for another 2 months... :-( no going out too much..

But it has served as time to catch up with people at home.. to share all those cute sweet incidents that have happened... and also to loose weight:-)

Have been so well taken care of by my amma, appa and pati.. and I wish I learn to become as caring and patient as them... love ya loads...

ITS UNFAIR TO COMPARE

Bhool Bhulaiya(BB) is a remake of the Malayalam hit MANICHITRATHAZHU, and this is wat chandramukhi is about too ....

Its a remake in the complete sense... people who have watched both the movies ll realize that every scene is a copy of the original... with of course the spices added for the hindi audience...

Every review that i have read, be it in the friday review... or india today.... or outlook.... has given a thouroughly prejudiced outlook about the movie(about balan in particular)... which is unfair... it is a thriller for the ones watching it for the first time... and for others too....

Agreed it isn't a comic caper that is normally expected of accomplished storyteller Priyadarshan and aki duo...who have successfully delivered laughathons in the past that made the viewer go ha-ha-hee-hee-ho-ho.

BHOOL BHULAIYAA is all about suspense and spirits.

Vidya Balan deserves credit for the way she has played the role!!! both as the trendy modern wife and as the possessed psychopath... and as for the dance sequel... its natural... and shot well... Her eyes are expressive and dat does half the job for her... acting comes naturally to her... felt there were too many opinions against her... but accept it... she was way too good!!!

The movie did have the thrill factor and VIDYA(enga ooru ponnu) ROCKS!!!

The days dat whizzed past!!!

hmmm.... months have whizzed past... n it has been quite a ride for me... with so much happening in all quarters... only when i logged in today i realized its been pretty long since i blogged...

so where do i start???????

The INTRAMS was a much awaited event.. and it happened to clash with our external viva... we were told we might not be allowed to participate in the event!!! but then.. thanks to the determination of a few of the f5ers.. we went ahead with all that we had planned...we enjoyed the numerous discussions... and preparation for the girls footloose was fun too... i remember so vividly the last day when we were finishing their record work.. and they were trying out their dresses...

I thought we were rocking and deserved to win most( if not all) of the events... but GOD(!?!) knows why.. the judges thought otherwise... And then its afterall the participation... n the whole episode was taken in our stride...

The very next week.. we, the f5ers were off to bangalore... our industrial visit(!!!)... our first over night trip.. we boarded the late night train.. and the excitement just dint die down... we sat thru the night.. and teachers who accompanied us were a game too... the next day morning we were off to the industry... der was a presenation about the industry.. n we used that time to catch up on our precious sleep...

And after this visit... we were off to the mall... FORUM... an all time favourite of mine... we hit every eatery there....there was so much of shopping done and wen we got back to the room.. we put out all our purchaces... and the night really seemed to be young then... the next morning too we were up at 4 nad started playing games.. we called all our friends rooms.. rang thier door bells.. but they were fast asleep.. sad...

We were then off to Bhangarkata... we thought we would be taken for a ride and dat we wudnt get to see any of the animals.. but it was not to be... an experience i enjoyed... of course i was among the girls who dint want to make it to the zoo... and stayed back in the bus.... (photos: courtesy sathya)

and after a really late lunch.. there was a heated discussion about where to go... the choices were iskon temple.. and commercial street... and at last we decided to go shopping... commercial it was... that was most awaited part of the trip.. we immediately split into groups.. went away for wat girls luv most... there was so much of stuff one cudnt resist.. and soon our bags were full...

and we decided we had to eat the chat der b4 we left... a bad decision i guess.. it started raining right after... and then the ever so polite guys of our class came searching for us(guess dey were sure we wudnt leave the place unless we were dragged out.. true!!! come on.. 2 hours is too little time to be spent on commercial street)... and we were asked to hurry back to the bus... the walk was pretty good.. but i still shudder at the thought.. wat if one of us had fallen into the open drainage or something?? the rain was pretty blinding... well.. thank heavens.. nothing of that sort happened....

the next day we were returning home... the train was at 4.. the return journey was good too.. that was when our pack of cards came out and we played many rounds of many games.... it was a memorable trip... wonderful memories.. wonderful times.....

back to college... it was time for our lab exams... the question on all our lips was output??/no output??? and then came the internals... thats the only time wen we actually have to study... but just cudnt set myself into that mood... maybe coz of the rains.. maybe coz of laziness.. but i skipped a few...

and now that its study hols.. time to once more enjoy life... time to reason out wat why and how some of the things that happened.. happened.. time to go blogging....

Here i go!! AT LAST

Hello everybody,

So at last I am into the world of "blogging"... a world that i have been trying to keep away from... !!!



I have actually sat down to start blogging for quite a few times now...



the first time was when i got back from the exotic himachal tour!!! wha!!! i wanted to share all my wonderful experiences (on chandrashekar's insistence).. but alas my laziness got the better of my enthusiasm...



and then again last week I created an account for myself... again due to various reasons... i deleted the account the next minute...



So am really glad that this time I managed to go this far and as much as post my next first one!!!

(thank you sathya for all the coaxing!!!)

Last week was a week of firsts!!!

• The first time we, as the ELS members, were asked to put up a skit!!! though I wasn't part of it, it was fun watching the others practice... we have tough task-masters amongst us.. (Good everything went off fine... God knows what would have happened otherwise!!!)


• And then, I was asked to Emcee for the Independence day celebrations... that was a pleasant experience.. but i must confess, the first time i was writing out the script 5 min before the programme.. but i guess that was when we were given the details!!! so not ma fault...


• And after the celebrations, all the ELS members, we headed to cafe.. the first time we are going as a group... it was fun getting to know each other... please note: we paid for what we ate...


• And for the practice for the above mentioned stuff... i got an exe form...the first time i am bothering to apply for one... and that was just for the thrill of submitting a form!!!


• We sat through exciting basketball matches... reading out the scores and about our sponsors once in a way...


• And it was during this time, that i recorded my latest "homecoming"... on two of the days last week, i got back home only at 9.... a record (according to me and a few of my friend's standards)!!!
• I started something I never thought i would.. I started with the "harry potter" series.. and today, i have completely fallen into the world of enchantments. .. done with 2 books!!!


• And on friday, i tasted "meals" in our canteen for the first time... u gotta taste the rasam.. its way too good!!! (thank ya reva)

Last week itself was a stimulant for me to start blogging...

Glad I did just dat...

Looking forward to an exciting week ahead.. .wat with the "Let's Talk" event coming up... n the heated Intrams discussions...

see ya people.... sanu....
