I meant to put this as comment to my friend's post but then decided against it since it was too long. I am just giving reasons for his accusations , so to get a clear picture plz go thr' his post.Here goes my list. 1)Women don't take the option of staying at home unless her husband says so. Men [not generalizing] are selfish enough to make her stay at home so that he gets things done on time. 2)Men can study at any point of life but woman cannot do that once if she is bound to a family. 3)Girl’s parents need to spend more at the time of marriage and so they decide to compensate that in education. To avoid this Government provides free education. 4)Women are ready to share men’s burden provided they are given enough support. [I meant mental support] 5)Women would love to take care of her parents but societal rules does not allow that. 6)People misinterpret women's nature of seeing things. She checks on family background to know what kinda person he is and that is not t...

Dress doesn’t matter the number matters here. Coming to the actual post; was casually speaking about dresses to my friend and he got aghast with the number of sets I said I have. I was expecting this reaction, since it was not the first time I am getting this reaction. Once when I informed my friend that I am on my way to T.Nagar, he complained I shop too much [spendthrift]. Does going to T.Nagar refer to shopping only for me???? I never knew it had such an explanation. And now in this discussion, the immediate response was number of pants and shirts in his custody. Unluckily guys; counting only on the formal wear get few options to choose from-either checked or stripped or plain and a few selection of colors either grey or blue or black or brown or shades that vary with these colors. So obviously the number doesn’t exceed 10 or 15. Moreover the stripes and checks make no big difference. And when gals say a huge count [according to guys] the fact is that they have variety to choose fro...

Today it was not so good for me. Had series of unlucky incidents; Started off by 10:00 to grandma’s place Bus came only half an hour later It was already moving too slowly and got break down jst in the middle of no where Walked for 10 minutes to reach nearest bus stop None of the buses were stopping and finally had to argue with the conductor to help us board another bus Finally reached the place by 12:15 Took an auto to grandma’s house Auto driver refused to go into the street for the bargained price and left us in main road Again walked for another 15 minutes in scorching sun When I got there, it was EB maintenance shut down So didn’t have cold water to quench thirst But then had good lunch and came back home with no great happenings Isn’t it a horrible day altogether?????

An old version of story.... The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.The grasshopper thinks the ant's a fool and laughs, dances & plays the summer away.Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold. The modern version ...... The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant's a fool and laughs, dances & plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving. BBC, CNN, EURO-NEWS, NDTV, FOX NEWS show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this po...

When offered God showers But when wanted Things move away If life comes as wishes Humans forget the God’s power Now too cluttered With life’s options Paths unraveled before me, Welcomes me with happiness Will things go per wish? Or that leads to ditch? Too confused to decide but Still clear before my eyes, Is this what life has to offer me?

I was tagged by Harini and now will write on 10 pleasures of life 1. Love to stand and get drenched in rain, though the consequences I face; especially my mom’s wrath is horrible. 2. Driving through winding lanes with greenery on both sides. 3. Lay cuddled in bed on a lazy afternoon and read Enid Blyton’s story books [sounds kiddish???] 4. Spend time with friends by talking sweet nothings. 5. Looking at old photos and going down the memory lane. 6. When I think I am tired and get to bed after dinner and find myself wide awake looking at the roof of my room silently…those silent moments. 7. Listening bed time stories from my mom. 8. The high fives exchanged when the event that we prepared for months comes out successful. 9. Cute forwards from friends that remind that u hav people out there to share your feelings. 10. Last few months of college life that provided me with many new good friends. The pleasures I listed may be very few of the 1000's I have in mind. I shortlisted the one...

Finally finished my exams; the only pre–requisite that was left for me to become an engineer. Now will have plenty of jobless days before they call me.

The Jaya TV’s news report “கலைஞரின் கைமாறு “ about the connections between Nalini, the main accused in Rajiv Gandhi Assassination and DMK leader was a gud job by the reporters. Leaving behind the political factors the fact that made me write this blog- Nalini. May 21st 1991[My parent’s wedding Anniversary]; the day dawned with news reporting about cruel death of Rajiv Gandhi. The LTTE’s first trial to kill our Prime Minister at Airport failed and Thenmuli Rajaratnam A.K.A Dhanu the suicide bomber succeeded to accomplish that in Chennai. Nalini and Murugan were at Chennai to get information about the movements and the plans. When the Jain’s commission submitted the report, all the 26 accused, including five women, have been sentenced to death in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case. Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act court Special Judge V Navaneetham also held the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and its supremo Velupillai Prabhakaran responsible for the assassination. ...

Had a superb darshan at Tirupathy, nearly stood at sanctum sanctorum for 4 solid minutes with no pushing and Jarugandi. Really was lucky for this superb darshan.Only thing that was horrible was the soaring climate with 42 degrees.

Going to exercise my duty for the second time………This time rightfully with voter’s ID card …. “The right to vote is sacred right “….So Happy Voting Day………………

Continuing Barath’s post, this week’s Sangamam was truly amazing. It was about National Award winning songs of SPB and Chitra. The songs were amazing and one thing that should be brought to notice is that for a person who has around 35000 songs in bag got ONLY ONE National Award for Tamil. To be truthful, the song to which he was awarded is something quite ordinary when there are umpteen songs which he sang worth National Awards. May be late recognition is our specialty. An award on time has its own value. Many times the awards are given posthumously where that just serves as a momento. His work should be given timely recognition atleast in the later years.

Don’t get confused with title. Not a part of Science Fiction certainly.Time Machine takes you to past years of our wish [as fiction says….]. I felt I was on one, these 4 days. I reached granny’s place with a plan to spend few days with my cousin [Barath] before he packs to U.S. But that turned out to a summer vacation similar to ones we spent on our childhood days. Those vacations begin when my cousin arrives from Calcutta . Barath, my uncle and I – the usual trio had superb time together. It has been years together we spent time together. I felt as if I am back to my childhood days spending vacation with books, beach and bed time stories. We started off with our usual outing which has predefined locations beginning with an hour’s duration in Higginbotham [with quota of 2 books per head], then dip in Marina and finally dinner at Jewel Box. Spent the whole Sunday at home playing all childish games like translating songs, turn based story telling and cricket. These game...
