I cant think of a title now!

Wow its been almost a year since i have blogged.....by god how things have changed..

ya life has drastically changed!!!...whn i started this blog...i was like any other college goer who is got nothing to do but chatting,browsing,orkutting and to add to this list blogging!!! those were the days!!!!

G3 goes jobless...now g3 is not soo jobless...technically speaking g3 is employed but in actuality still a student...i have a job but its not a job its internship!its an internship for 3 years!!i have to call it internship because people dont understand wat articleship is!!!! now i am not here to explain about my course! i have already had enuogh doing tht to every other person who gives me the "weird cum confused cum which language are u speaking" look...lets leave it right there...its ok...the world knws only abt engineering,medicine and mba...i have come to terms with tht fact...so chill g3!!

waking up by 6...(6 AM)...reaching my class by 7 20 (the class starts by 7 AM)..and wondering why the sir is speaking in french and latin in my Costing class(its a stupid subject i have for my course)...by 8 55 i finally get a hang of wats happening in class...and by then yippee...the class gets over...so i leave for my office!

Mostly i would be going to the client office...which is in the outskirts of the city..(this client office thingy and own office thingy would sound weird to many people...seriously i really dnt want to get into details about wat an Out-Audit is...wats stat audit..wats internal audit..lets just say...its part of work)...Outskirts of trivandrum to a place called Kazhakuttom...hmmm lets be specific here Technopark!the journey to this place is quite an adventure evryday....missing buses...getting into the wrong bus...driving the conductors mad...travelling on the footboard (just for abt 15 seconds)...see in it all done it all :p...and then reaching the bus stop...catching an auto to the destination...by the time i reach the gate...security officials will stop me..asking for an Id.....i will have to establish the fact tht i am an auditor..with no id proof...even with the id proof he wouldnt let me in...this particiular security guy has got into this bad habit of fighting with me evryday...wont blame tht guy.....security has been tightened up there...thanks to the bombscare in kerala...thanks to all this....i am never on time...(as if i would reach on time otherwise!!!)

By 12 30 most of the people in tht place including me gather to have stale food in the hotel there.....i am not really proud of the fact tht i eat stale food everday...just because a few newspapers report tht stale food was found during the raid by the corporation officials in these hotels..doesnt mean tht they always serve stale food...its just occasional...after all every other person has food there...so if i get food poisoning i knw i have company!!!chaltha hai yaar!

By 5 30 i am all set to leave tht place...get back home...again the same old routine of catching buses...which would include times where i would vow myself tht i wouldnt get into an ordinary bus..i will get into only a Fast Passenger...and finally i would end up getting into one bus which has this big board showing its an FP...once i am in there i will learn the fact...NEVER TRUST KSRTC!!....yes it will turn out to be an ordinary bus..stopping at every nook and corner of trivandrum...and finally reaching my stop by 7 (P M) where i should have reached by 6 15 atleast...(by the way in the olden days, like abt 4 months ago :p...i dint knw there were three categories of buses...ordinary-u will never reach the place on time, fast passenger-this is ur only saviour...atleast mine...super fast-u pay extra money...but u still wont reach the destination...y?? cause the stop u want to get down will not figure in the bus driver s list of bus stops!!...thank me for the gyaan i gave u on KSTRC no matter how unimportant and how irrelevant it was)

this has been my routine for abt 3 months....this will continue for another 3 yrs, only if i survive the impact of stale food on my health...i couldnt find a better end to this post than this...An SMS thts quite popular among my folks...

TAGGED!

i have been tagged by a sweet friend of mine...and i am supposed to answer around 18 questions...not a big deal...my thoughts on it are still under construction..so all i can say is WAIT and READ!

Me,Me&Me!!!

Personality tests, hmmm what do i think about them???A real good time pass! Well that's what i thought initially but this test turned out to be "Check Your Patience"test!! Will tell you the reason! While browsing I find this link which says "The questions are based on the work of personality theorists like Jung and Myers-Briggs and established systems such as the Five Factor Model of Personality. Each individual question was statistically verified for accuracy. Now this breakthrough technology is available to you absolutely free in the privacy of your own home" The only thing that caught my attention was "ABSOLUTELY FREE" soo why not!! And there i go sign up for this test which gives me the results as follows.....So ME according to http://www.echemistry.com/index.htm



"You are a really easygoing, wonderful person. You are fun and funny and you make people instantly comfortable with your accepting, laid back nature. You love to be entertained, and you hate to be bored, so you're quick to come up with ideas for what to do to have fun. But you're not limited by outside entertainment. You make any event into a party and are just as happy being low key and hanging out with your friends talking or watching movies all night.(YES i am a wonderful person)



You are a genuinely nice person. You don't feel the need to judge the people you meet, and in fact are quite repelled by people who are constantly judging others. This overwhelmingly accepting nature is a real relief for your friends who are accustomed to being told what to do, but get to relax in your presence.(hmmmmmmm)



Because of your shifting focus and upbeat nature, people take you somewhat less seriously than you expect.(YES YES YES) The irony is that you really are serious about learning. You are a sponge for information and have interests so varied that it's really impossible to list all the possibilities here. The important part is that you love to learn and are more likely to watch the Learning Channel or the History Channel than to tune in to the evening news. You stay a student for your whole life, learning on your own if not actually taking classes way up to and through retirement.(HOW VERY NICELY THEY CALL ME A NERD!!!)



You are very generous, particularly with your possessions(LOL!!!).You begin a lot of projects, but finish few because the details get boring and something more fun is sure to appear.You like to see everyone living harmoniously and can get irritated by whoever is currently rocking the boat and causing problems.



When faced with a problem you are most likely to solve it in the most obvious way, not implementing cumbersome standard methods.As a leader or parent you are non-directive, preferring to see what happens on its own rather than lay down strict procedures and give orders. To you it is understood that any procedures developed by necessity today disappear tomorrow unless they are still absolutely required.(WAT ARE U TRYING TO SAY???)



You know what tastes good, what feels good against your skin, and what smells satisfy you.You are quick to notice the signs of hunger, fatigue, sleepiness or discomfort in your body, and you can get quite irritable and distracted if those issues are not resolved in a timely fashion. You are a socially balanced person. When your physical needs are taken care of you like to be where the people are, particularly where your social group is. You don't mind filling some role in the group and doing your part of the work. You are hurt if you're excluded from anything or not invited to a party or celebration of someone you know.(THAT SOUNDS A BIT TOO SILLY)



You portray a very even tempered image and that matches a calm interior.(CALM HAHAHA!)



You have a deep, philosophical side which few people really get to know(HOW WILL ANYONE GET TO KNOW ABOUT THINGS THAT DOESN'T EXIST??). You are constantly growing and evolving, always working to become the most authentic version of yourself. You live by pure, simple values and they're evident in every action you take. Because of your pure, honest goodness, anyone would be lucky to have you as a partner.(IS CRIS LISTENING TO THIS?)


THEY END IT HERE!!!!



A SPECIAL note to those people who are really inclined to take this test,

Please let me mention this small negligible fact about the test, it has only 224 not so tricky questions.Anyone who is as jobless as me can readily spend an hour or two on this test and get instant results about your personality and find profiles that matches YOU!!!!!SO HURRY!!!GO AHEAD AND WASTE YOUR TIME!!



And one more additional info I have already suspended my account after they told me this

"There are approximately 5,491,033 unmarried males and 5,346,568 unmarried females who would be very high chemistry matches for you in India.Based on your personality traits alone, we estimate that approximately 1 in 76 people will have the personality traits required to qualify for a high likelihood of very strong long term romantic chemistry with you. Luckily for you, our system will go on thousands of dates for you and select just the top ones out of 76 for you and display them on your My Matches page."



I could have gone the rest of my life without knowing that....

Be A Rebel!!!

Heights of Desperation- Standing in front of the locked gates of the theatre with 2 crows and 3 dogs and many eechas at 10am in the morning for 11:30 show!!!

More Desperation-The security knows you are standing there but he wont open the gate!As far as you are concerned he is THE most important man on earth till u get the tickets. (10:30 am 4 guys have joined the kakas)

Tolerance Test-30 guys are staring at you cause you and your friend are the only gals giving them company. (11:00am)

Victory-His Highness Security finally feels sympathy for the 2 lovely lonely girls standing there!(11:05)

Advantage Woman-The gate opens and we enter.Only US!!heheh a thousand enviable stares!! I'm loving it!!

The Finale-We get the tickets first! yipppeeeee....(11:15)

It is indeed a pleasure to watch guys having a marathon race towards the ticket counter while you are happily counting the tickets which u get through the ladies queue.
Where else do we get such advantages???Buses,theatres, railway stations,that's it? ya that's it!!!

Well I cant imagine how I would be able to explain such advantages to my 5yr old niece, who keeps saying "I want to be a boy"from the day she started to talking.Give her the best clothes on earth she would prefer her brother s torn jeans any day!Headstrong ha?After all she is MY niece!!!:)

Nor can I imagine myself listing out such advantages to an illiterate human being in UP(Bihar,AP) who is all set to kill his third new born girl(yeah the word is female infanticide).His dadas, pardadas have done this so why cant he ??Why blame him for his genetic disorder, when u have literate parents doing the same, knowing that "women bring life to this world".So what could stop them from committing such heinous crime.Yes you
could tell them that times have changed, woman are no more a financial burden for the family, they have made a mark in every other industry,they are equal to men to in all aspects etc etc etc.............Hello??would they listen???A remarkable change in the attitude towards woman has been taking place in the last 30yrs but rate of crimes towards women doesn't seem to be in any way diminishing??

"Puratchigal edhum seyyaamal Pennukku nanmai vilaiyadhu
Kannagi silaithaan ingundu Seethaikku thaniyaai silayedhu"

for those who haven't figured out which language that is....Its Tamil!

for those who haven't figured out what it means...the meaning goes like this(my translation aint that gud)

You have the statue erected for Kannagi,(who according to epics burnt the city of Madhurai and rebelled against the king who had captured and punished her husband for a crime he hadn't done), but you would never find a statute erected for Sita alone(wife of Rama who meekly obeyed her husband when she had to go through the agnipareeksha)
The conclusion,A woman can get her due rights(or privileges or justice) only if she creates a revolution.So when Kannagi burnt the city of Madhurai, there she created a revolution and hence she is respected till date.Not that Sita is less respected, she is the embodiment of tolerance,but still no statues "exclusively" for her, depicting her tolerance!

You fight, you rebel, and finally you get justice!

Now for those who have figured out the meaning without my "not so apt" translation, should know that these lines are not from "Thirukkural", "Bhagavad gita", "Manu Smriti"...

Believe it or not, its from the most popular Tamil song of 90s, "urvasi urvasi take it easy urvasi"!! well some lyrics this tapori song has!!!
Even a tapori song speaks of such truth!

lets see the other side of the story....

Everyone knows the story of Sita, cause starting from your grand mom, your mom and then the school lessons teach us the tolerance of Sita, but how many of us know the story of Kannagi, one in a million, why??Because she expressed her anger and she rebelled!Rebellious women have been respected but somehow their stories have never been appreciated(that's what i feel),u would prefer your mother,wife and your daughter to be a Sita and never a Kannagi,a Jhansi ki rani or Joan of arc.Well that may be the reason why 90% women who are victims of harassment never complain, just tolerate.

I would just complete this post now and move on with my daily routine.I talk, mourn,sympathise and move on.Same is the case with the so called "social activists" who appear on TV shows and chat on and on about women empowerment and always end up blaming men for everything and keep saying that they are not feminists.Well I believe we(women) are equally responsible for the state we are in.When the show is over, the discussion is done! And nothing concrete happens.OK I would be wrong if i say all social activists are like this,yes there are people who are doing some good work but very few.But whatever it is unless we don't act,nothing is gonna change!

I hate preaching!But that's what you end up doing whenever you take up a social issue.Maybe i should end it right here and do something useful for the victims of such injustice.But I badly want to say this to the women out there, who have been tolerating harassment or at least know people who are doing the same,

Stop that "sarvam saha"crap!And be a rebel!

Hail Kannagi!!

We came,We ate,We enjoyed!!!

"hey who brought the knife?"
sree "damn man! we forgot it!"
we forgot that this time also.This happens every other time we celebrate a bday.And like all the times its Fathu's scale that comes to the rescue.........

That u see above is the yummy cake we ordered for anu on her bday!the pic was taken before we set our hands on the cake, or else u would have seen a pic with 10 pairs of hands and nothing of the cake.yeah 9 pairs of hands cause we are a gang of 10 food-o-maniac gals namely sree,unni,fathu,rammu,kichu,radhu,anu,shilpa,bindi and of course me gayu:) once upon a time i used to hate people calling me that, now im kinda ok with it.....

Well most people who know us in the college would only say "We lived to eat" cause any fest in college any bday any celebration first thing that would come to our mind would be FOOD, that is also the reason why you would always find us in the "good for nothing" canteen of ours!
You would have seen animals fighting for food, well the sight of us eating our lunch (after the first hour of course, hell!who eats lunch during the lunch break) is WORSE....even if we are in different parts of our college if we hear the sound of any of the gang members lunch box opening in 5 seconds u would find 10 pairs of hands fighting for it as if we have never seen food!!!! Tribals would have better table manners!We scream and shriek for the last piece of chapathi and thats how we eat.Even if we have had a 9course meal there would be either sree or unni saying "enikku vishakunu"(feeling hungry)the way revathy says in kilukkam(a malayalam movie).it would be remarkable to note that sree and unni are as skinny as ash in dhoom2 so plzz dnt
misunderstand that we are a set of obese kids who have been put to diet by our families!!!

Other than eating, which is still our primary activity and something that totally binds us together,like all other gangs, our secondary activity is gossiping and chit chat (people who thought gossiping is done by low minds-get lost !)if you dont find us in the canteen u will find us in our favourite spot "the car" you would find us sitting on any random car parked near the college gate.we crack silly jokes,good jokes,and extremely good jokes(very rarely) and go laughing laughing and laughing.one person who gets really annoyed with this is our favourite man in the campus "the watchman-Mr.kikikiki" one day he got so annoyed with our laughs, that he came and asked "ithientha aale kaliyakuvanno"(are u teasing me),"collegil varunnathu padikkananu kikikiki ennu parannu chirikanalla ketallo"(u cum to college 4 studying not to go laughin kikikiki)after which we truly go kikikikii whenever we see this 4ft 8inch human being!

In exactly one month time we would be in the third year, things happen so fast, we had just started enjoying the college and here already we are on to the last year in college.Of course we would make the most of it and try to make it better and memorable than the second year which we thoroughly enjoyed by confusing the canteen sister who would always get confused whenever we order cause when one person goes we need 5 cutlets 3 coffee someone would say ayyoo i dnt want cutlet make it vayakka appam, on the other side another would go ayyoo coffee venda tea, finally when she gets us what we want she would be totally confused about the amount we should pay and that would normally give us additional profits.now i guess she has delegated the task of serving us to the new young sister (who seems to be good at maths!!!), then of course irritating teachers cause we would always line up in the staffroom asking permission for dance,skit,song,mime to be performed for next to next month some programme and thereby bunking classes with attendance!!!then of course irritating the class with our not so noisy discussions.

Its always great to be a part of a gang, no matter how much differences of opinions you have.College life has been really amazing for me thanks to this gang.you laugh together, get in trouble together and at times cry together.On the whole its a great feeling and i am sure many of you would agree with me!

An Encounter!!!

The meeting with this person would always be remembered as an encounter than as a casual chat, cause the hero of this post happens to be a Policeman!! Not any ordinary policeman, A Traffic Policeman!!!

I dont remember the exact day or date but i remember the blazing sun...so it had to be noon time..i was getting back home from extra classes of Maths i guess and was waiting to cross the road....the place is always crowded and very few people notice that there is a traffic signal in the middle of the road...and even if they notice they hardly seem to know the use of it.But i happen to be a person who always used to follow those signals as i was (is)under the impression that they impove the chances of my survival while crossing!

I always had respect for the traffic policeman standing there for he seemed to be the only person who cared about the road,traffic,signals and pedestrians.so in this particular day i was standing next to the policeman for crossing the road.he gave me a smile and asked me whether i was having xams and i told him "no uncle extra classes"

the following is the conversation we had
"molee ippo ethu classila"(which class are u studying)
"12th ila uncle"(i dont need to transalate that)
"molee appol entrance ezhuthum alle"(u will be writing the entrance right)
"alla uncle nyan commerce aa"
"oho"he thinks and then he says "entrance eyuthandirrikaruthu!"(u shud write entrance)
i culdnt hide my smile and then i tell him
"alla uncle commerce aanengil entrance ezhuthan pattilla"(i cant write entrance cause i m in commerce)
to my utter shock he says "alla mole ennalum entrance ezhuthanum!"(watever it is u should write entrance)
thankfully the signal changed i just smiled and crossed the road...

at that point of time i felt sorry for the police uncle.i couldnt blame him for his ignorance cause thats the way things are in kerala and many parts of our country.writing the engineering or medical entrance has become something like a ritual and duty for the sons and daughters of kerala.the whole concept makes me feel sick.
that was just an ordinary person on the road,it feels worse when people including your own teachers think tht taking up a subject other than science is a risky thing to do.some people feel sorry for u.some people pity u.

i really dont care for these "some people" but it really gets into ur nerves when friends u know..who could hav been great artists and writers write the entrance get their ranks in tens and twenty thousands(yeah their rank) pay for a seat in a college and end up getting a job in some random company!and there goes their dreams and creativity!some blame their parents, some blame the system!
i can only pity them!

high time people understood its equally important to churn out artists,singers,writers!!u churn out an IT professional every other minute,but it mite take a decade or so to churn out a gud artist. may be this is a cliche topic discussed everywhere around....but this is one topic i always wanted to give an opinion about!!

god bless that man who really cared for my future,which he thought, wuld be bright only and only if i write the entrance and i hope his sons and daughters wrote the entrance which to his dismay i dint!

Here I Go!!!!

i hav started this to the total dismay of people(i know) outside the blogging world!!!they tell me i am wasting time in this...well i tell them i hav loads of time to waste on this TRUST me!! vacation time bak again...last vacation got myself hooked to orkut(still hooked) then to youtube....lets c wat this has in store 4 me.....
