Christmas time...mistletoe and wine...

Yes...its that time of the year when people sing carols, put up Christmas trees, spread the spirit of Christmas, make merry and be happy!and then there's Santa...the big, round ol man who goes around giving gifts!!

The sad part is that I know all this coz I read Archie’s (I still do!!)
Why is it missing here in Chennai? Yes you have the pizza delivery guys wearing the Santa hood and cafes decorated with Christmas tree…. But…..something seems amiss…. Or is it really an illusion created in me thanks to Archie’s, Home alone, miracle on 34^th st… jingle all the way and all those typically Christmas flicks!!…. Does the spirit really exist …or is it missing coz its Chennai ….and not Riverdale!!...and coz there’s no snow!!! I have a doubt here….when Santa goes to Australia…he wouldn’t require reindeers…coz obviously there wont be snow....so what is his mode of transport?.....Whatever.. coming back to the point… maybe I’m feeling that the spirit is missing coz I’m not a Christian?....(but its another thing I miss the diwali spirit too these days!!)

Uhhhhhhhhh………!!!!!! Now this blog is getting as confusing as me!!!! I really don’t know!!! The point is ….where’s the warmth and love and the goodness and all that which is supposed to be the essence of 25^th dec??.....or is it there and I’ve not discovered it yet?.... I doubt if I’ll ever find out…..

Roger rocks!!!!

Federer won!!!!!yet again!!!!he is awesoooommmmmmeeeee!!!!!i luuuuuvvvvvv him!!!!!his smile is great!!!!!omg!!!it was a tight match!and Nadal was tough and aggressive but then this is not clay so his efforts were in vain!!!!so basically yet again Federer embraced the trophy and i was so happy for him and the game!!:)!!!:D!!

So how have I been spending all those rainy days in Chennai?... There weren't many though :(... I finally got to read Malgudi Days!... Beautifully natural and realistic is what I felt! And oh ya I saw Shivaji twice!!!:D!!bad comedy...a moderately ok first half...good second half...i felt it to be more of a Shankar flick than a Rajini flick...nevertheless I’m watching it for the third time day after!!:D!!!!!Apart from this I’ve also been following the final rounds of super singer junior (ya m that jobless!!) and I’m awestruck by this kid Krishnamoorthy who is now in the finals...great voice and his finals performance was amazing! and he reminds me a lot of one of my cousin so I’m gonna vote for this guy online(omg!!I’m actually voting right now!!)!And Venus Williams won the Wimbledon finals for the 4th time today and England lost yet another ODI to the Windies!!!!:D!!! I am well fed today (courtesy dhaba)!!But my mom is a great cook and I am well fed most of the days!!!! Am basically in this whacky mood typing out things of no relevance! And oh ya I’d like to mention that I hate Prathiba Patil...not like that's gonna make a difference...but I really believe that she doesn't deserve to be a president of India! And India’s victory against South Africa...it's too late a victory and doesn't really make a difference(ya these are words from a died hard Indian cricket fan!!) and tata to Nimitz!!

Supporting Kalaignar for once!

Which is worse? Waking up late on the first day of college? Or skidding off the bike on the way to college? Have no clue though this is exactly what happened to me today!!! All my ‘first day of college’ spirits were dampened thanks to the wet roads......! but then… all this while I used to think wearing helmet is a dumb thing to do as it just adds on to the weight!!!! But then I’m actually glad that I was wearing it today when I was driving coz I would have actually had an head injury if I hadn’t!!! so I really guess people should wear helmet. During my internship, one day I was editing the ‘vent your anger’ letters and this one person had actually sent a letter with a slogan “hair loss is better than head loss”!!!!! But on a serious note (lol!!! my friends and I laughed like hell when we read it!!) buying helmets is really worth it…n these days you actually get really cool helmets. If you don’t believe me hit General Patters road!!!

PC games ....not my cuppa...

I seriously don't understand what's gotten into the kids of this generation!!!!!! the only videogames (we didn't have a pc 8 years ago) i remember playing when I was young are Sega sonic....Mario bros....Super hangover(bike race)....and Brian Lara’s cricket(I sucked at it big time!)....and all these kids are interested in are shooting, blood, action, theft, building empires(game with bad graphics...guess it's called age of empires)and if it's none of these then it's Harry potter(the only one I like)!few days back I went in search of Mario bros... but couldn't find it anywhere....all that was available were Spiderman..GTA 1,2,3,vice city...a billion other action games(names which I basically don't remember)......and FIFA 2007, cricket, golf, billiards....god damn Dexter’s laboratory,....powerpuff girls (I do like these cartoons...but games?!?!!)...but not Mario bros!!!!And I thought it was pretty much in demand though it has been so many years...I realized my level of ignorance! I even went to extent of asking my friend's cousin......and of course my cousin's friend...but it vain...seems like all of them have even forgotten 'bout Mario and the poor princess...finally my cousin got me a cd with Mario...copied from my nephew's comp(yes I’m an aunt...yes I’m 18!!)...and it wasn't the full version! Basically I’m just frustrated 'bout the whole thing!!!!!And my brother says I have to grow up! Maybe I do…..but I just feel that it’s my first encounter with what is called 'generation gap'!!

Live life..don't just exist..

Finally ive logged on to my blogger account after nearly six months!!:D

Have you ever sensed a kind of feeling when small things make you happy???i do...i guess everyone does!!...i wish to call it 'pure happiness'...
the other day...i had gone to my cousin's son's birthday party(i still cant believe i'm an aunt)!!!! and the return gift he gave me was 'Othello'- the book ....my cousin knew that i've been wanting to read it! anyways..though i was happy to have the book....it was the small stick-on note on the book sayin ' thanks for coming nandhu' signed dhruva which made me more happy!!!!!! moreover he said ' happy reading' when he gave me the book!!! it might sound like some mushy crap,but believe me it's seriously not that way.imagine yourself walking down the road and it starts raining!!!seriously anyone would be happy to experience that(especially in chennai)! thats how some small things are...they just come in as a total surprise...and makes you happy.the best part it...it's not like your expecting it....how i wish life could be filled in with so much joy!...but coming back to reality i guess i should go sleep and then continue dreaming!:D
