A COMEBACK!!

Well...after a looooooooong time am back!! This time from someother place..not the singara chennai..but the gatorland-gainesville!!!

Currently am vetti..so thought would post something here..maybe...my take on american lifestyle!!

1.NIGHTLIFE: Since i landed her at night,i saw the nightlife first!!Around 12 in the midnight you can see an array of cars continuously moving.I thought initially that probably all those cars belong to jet-lagged Indians:P

2.BREAKFAST:Something crispy,a mug full of beverage..thats the American breakfast for u!!cereals,honeyloops,muesli,waffles,bread toast,bagel..one of these...along wit a mug of coffee!!

3.LIFESTYLE:Cooking is very simple..u ask y? cos ppl just peep into the fridge..if theres yesterdays leftovers,it becomes todays lunch and they cook something new for the dinner.Else they see what is available in the fridge and discover some dish out of those ingredients available..just on one condition..It must be edible!!

4.PEOPLE:Every stranger asks me How do u do...Lol..i found that amusing..in our homeland we don greet even if we see a known person..and here even a stranger greets us!!!

5.MONEY: 1$=Rs.45 approx.. well..its been 3 days here...i dint even spend a single dollar:/..A Kurkure packet which is Rs.10 is Rs.23 here...i gave up my liking for kurkure:(

6. SOUND: God...silence is at its loudest best here..cos of this silence i feel as if a band is performin inside my head..i dint even hear a single horn honk on the road!!its tooooooo calm!!

7.MISC:We get everything here....except for one feel.."home"...yes..nothin can beat my INDIA in this matter:)

Gainesville is more like a 2 yr tourist spot to me:)

WATS HAPPENIN??!

I slowly opened my eyes...i could see my mom's face.."amma...!"

"Hey its 6 am now de..u are late by 30mins...even if u start gettin ready now u cannot reach the stop to catch ur college bus...so leave it..bunk ur college today.."

"Amma!!wat r u sayin?!i ve got my IC lab today and Kavitha mam ll ask me for permission letters..oh god!i need to go..u cud ve woken me up la?!"

"Hey come on...just 1 day..free free!!take good rest today at home.."

"My God!Amma..unbeleivable..ok ok..u are sayin to bunk then how can i say no!!seri seri am bunkin ma!!"

I take my mobile from the window sill to find numerous goodnight-messages and a missed call from Ajit.."Oh god!!why ve i received so many messages unusually!!ok let me call up Ajit.."

trrring...

"Hello Good Morning.. say de.."i can hear a incredibly fresh voice of Ajit..

"Hey wat a surprise..how come u attended my call in the very first ring?!Strange!!U never pick even after 3-4 calls..ok ok...why had u given me a missed call?"

"Oh..that was to inform u that myself and arjun are not comin to college today cos we ve planned to study the entire Protection and Switchgear by today...how come u r callin me now?reached bus stop so soon?"

"Ila pa..actually i slept off a bit long..so decided to bunk today!Anyways...fine.. enjoy ur day...ll message apoorva and divya to inform about my absense today..bye bye!!"

"Ok de bye..."

I send a message to apoorva and divya sayin i will not be coming to college today...There was no reply from both...So i went to brush my teeth thinkin they both are gettin ready for the college...

My mom comes wit a cup of coffee in her hand and a smile on her face..i get the cup from her and check my mobile for replies when i get a message from Naren..

"Hey ppl..Good Morning..today am going to Casa Piccola with my girl friend for breakfast...so i won be comin to college...please inform Essakiraj sir that i dint attend the lab today for the reason mentioned above"

"Hey Naren even am not going today cheers!Heard Ajit and Arjun are bunking too!"

"Lol!How come he is missing a lab class?!Weird!"

"Ya..Lol!!ok yaar enjoy bye bye:)"

"Bye"

And i trace back Naren's first message and get horrified!!"GIRLFRIEND??????God only knows wats happenin !!"

I have my coffee..browse paper..and find a big block news item

"HOD OF ENGINEERING COLLEGE ARRESTED-CHARGES OF ATTEMPT MURDER IMPOSED"

"Dr.X,HOD,@#^*%(!$) Engineering College was arrested last evening 3:00PM after he asked questions to Ram,a student regarding the late submission of leave letter..The student who is said to be the victim was found unconscious after facing a row of questions from Mr.X,his head of the dept. which had nothin to do with his late submission of the leave letter..On detailed investigation it was found that Mr.X had narrated an imaginary situation in which the student had got a job in INFOSYS and had to face severe punishment for submitting his project reports late to the Project head who was somewer in Bangkok.The student unable to understand how such a situation could arise dropped down uncounscious and is still in a koma..."

"What nonsense!!I was actually expecting this to happen someday..and it happens today"My head was spinning literally!!

Beep beep...1 message received-kapil

"Hi..why dint u come today..today something unusual happened in coll re..hariharan was given a suspension for bunkin the class and goin to canteen..dunno wats gonna happen..ll tell u wen things are finalised..We are in OOPs class now...its damn interestin.."

"Hariharan getting a suspension!!Hes the mooooost sincere chap who does every class work and readin on a daily basis...he bunked huh??!!and OOPs class interestin aaaah[:O]seriously mysterious!!"

Suddenly the phone rings and i find apoorva's landline number on my caller ID.. i pick it up

"Hello..."

"Hello.."i could hear Divya's voice[:o]"Hey myself and apoo are on the way to ur house..we ll see Harry Potter-6 in Chromepet INOX de!just book the tickets for the noon show!"

"wat the...."

I slam the phone down when it rings again....

I try to ignore it but somethin was happenin to me..i was no found with the coffee cup or newspaper...i feel as if am lying down flat..I try to rub my eyes..

I rub them to find am on bed closing my eyes..

Alas!!!!!it was a dream!!well maybe this is called a FANTAS[Y]TIC DREAM[:D]

P.S:Friends if u don find anything amusing above then please understand that those things stated as a happenin above ve never happened in my life and am waitin for such things to happen lol!!Evlovoooooo paathutom.idha paakamaatoma:p

HOW MY DREAMS GOT WASHED OFF...

I am now sitting alone in my room just thinking about this same day 2 years ago...1april 2007!!My mind was filled with thoughts running with the speed of a sprinter..

"One month..jus one month..my results will come..i feel i ll score 1140 for 1200...maybe i ll get a medical seat...if not that then let me prepare for JIPMER entrance on May 21...or AIIMS on May10th...i badly need to get medical seat..then i ll become a doctor..the very first in my family...Last month when i saw that KILI JOSIYAM that guy said u r capable of bcomin a doctor or a gr8 engineer[he knows only two professional courses!!even then he told that to ME!]..let me wait for my results!!God ll save me!!"

But when the results came...the night b4 my b'day..i remember how shocking it was!A 1040 for 1200....the score which i ve never even dreamt of...I remember that second even now..tears gushed out..i cried very badly...i dreamt of bcomin a doc on april 1..and i got fooled!!!my mind went blank after continuous crying....

WAT NEXT?!!

"Appa please dont break down..i ll do some b.sc microbiology or something...please don hate me!!"i remember myself cryin to my dad...parents dint talk with me properly..my anna started to counsel me saying everything is for good..87% not bad etc....nothing could console me...THE WORST B'DAY of my life i would say it was....

But after that lots of things happened to make me forget such a bitter happening...somehow someone helped me..and now i am here...I don want anymore such bitterness in life!!

Well...this was just a random post...will be back with my original vigour in the next post!!:)

P.s:Even now nothin is spoilt...maybe i can become DR.GAYATHRI if i follow anyone of the ideas below:

1.Marry a guy who can give me DR as initial[:p]

2.Act movies lik our ilayathalapathy vijay[sorry DR.VIJAY:/]

3.After B.E do a M.E or M.S and Ph.D and get a doctrate[;)]

he he he...I AM BACK[:P]

NAMBIAR.....NAMBI-ENAKU-YAAR????

Indian 'film villain' Nambiar dies

Nambiar appeared in more than 1,000 films
Veteran Indian film star MN Nambiar has died at home in the southern city of Madras (Chennai) after a brief illness.

Nambiar, who was 89, was frequently cast as a villain during his career which spanned six decades.

He made his screen debut in 1935 and went on to act in more than 1,000 films in Tamil, Hindi and several other languages.

Nambiar was deeply religious and loved to keep fit. His discipline made him a role model for many Indian actors.

Correspondents say he was also free from the scandals and rumours which are common in the Indian film industry.

"when my grandpa went to jail for the anti-alcohol movement my family suffered for mere rice porridge..
when my dad was attacked for complainin about the illegal alcohol vendor we were all fastin without food...

wat an irony by the writer!

TOM AND HIS MATH MA'M

"I hate her I hate her!!!"cried little Tom
and showed the swollen cheek to his mom.
"Math is a demon"he started to shout,
"My math ma'm is evil,she sent me out!"

"She held my hand and beat me up
she pinched my cheek and gave me a slap.
Her lion-like canines give me a nightmare
I am quitting school,I cannot bear!"

His mom got worried and thought what next
and decided to meet the ma'm,that was the best.
She reacher her house and knocked the doors,
and there came a kid of 12 on all its fours.

Tom's mom was startled to see the kid
It was not like how others did.
"Dear who is that?"Tom's mom could hear
the teacher coming out with a pang of fear.

No more did she seem to be cruel
to Tom's mom who was thinking abt her toil.
Having a special child in her home
she is coming to schoool hiding her doom.

Tom's mom dint wanna introduce herself.
So she pretended lik a stranger asking for help.
The teacher very politely answered her
wondering why her eyes dropped a tear!
