kids..........
we have always belived kids are incarnations of god filled with innocence.....[:)]...but when u see these kids speak u would be left for nuts to see the amount of knowledge these kids have.......i was quietly working on ma report when i was freaked by the sound of the kid from next door.....out of curiosity i checked out what was happenin and this boy who was rarely 6 yrs old was shoutin at his mom that he wants a toyota corolla to go to school.[:0]......i was like bamboozled and his mom was explaining that it was not possible.....this guy was not ready to listen....and if that was a bombshell wait for the next comment he was absolutely furious..and start to rage up all the issues....[:0]...he came out and said this to me i tried to relax him and make him understand but he was not at all ready he then asked me about the cost of a house i gave an abstract amount to which he replies "That is too much money my dad studied less and earns less " i was left dumbstruck how a boy who was just 6 could think to this extreeme without even knowning the position of his dad....(his dad was an assistant dir. at NIC).........for the whole day i was left ponderin on this issue and the observations made by the kid.......he realizes that a toyota corolla means prestige regardless of the cost of the vehicle.....if this is the trend for this boy i would jus ask people not to speak to them as he does mind to dish out personal insults at his will

tamil theriyatha ??????
yea in this case i resemble that dumbfounded monster
well when loosely translated it means "u fool u dont know tamil ah"????..(p.s. am talkin also about the guy's weird expression)...i pray to god every day y he wants to make a fool out of me but of no significance.....well lets come back to this whole issue......i love to go walkin alone and this idotic indulgence got me inthis trouble....yesterday evening everything according to plan got ma boots strapped up...plugged in my MP3 player...cause i was too lazy to transfer the contents to ipod....lol.....and began my routine walk through the tried and tested route....everything seemed normal for 15 mins till as if lightning had struck everything changed around..lol.....suddenly ma friend called me and i answered his call and i decided against walking while i was answering him on the phone....i saw a man with a load quietly but keenly observing me after i finished the call....he came to me and asked if the place was adyar...i replied affirmatively then he put out a slip and asked me for an address....when i looked at the slip i knew ma doomsday had begun the address was written in tamil and i could understand a single letter.....now came the time of crisis i said to him i dont know this place but he insisted to explain i said i dint know...he kept pesterin and then i accepted that i dint know tamil........he gave me a stare which i still remember his eyes gazed me as if i was a criminal.......i tried to quickly flee the scene but in vain he asked me again if i dint i hurriedly said yes........he asked how can u speak broken tamil i was left for dead.........i jus managed to escape quickly and dint mind replying to him i dint turn back for an whole hour cause i was scared if he followed me.......lol......at last i finished it then thinkin of this incident made me embarssed as well as gave a chance to laugh on myself......i thiught that was the worst thing a man could do for itself till i met with another incident...shared in ma next entry.............
disclaimer: all the reported action are true none is manipulated this is a true story of a fool,......lol.:)

And this has got ma be my fav. the new samsung j 600.............man it eludes class......the feather touch keypad.....the slider screen the 1.3 mega pixel camera the amazing mp3 output...it can give the walkman series a run for its money.......and bluetooth 1.2 and more..........its jus been a week since i got it and i can assure one thing am inseprable from my phone though the battery life may be cause especially given into a lazy person like me who rarely charges the phone could be an issue.............but still without chargin it runs for 3 day after all th long chats on fone...........its worth the money.............

koeman to the rescue.....
Valencia played some stylish football after the hammering from real at home......truly that was the worst moment a true che should suffer........but koeman has got things sorted out he has brought a vital discipline in the squad which was missing......all credit to quique but he was facing too much crunch........on the current hand i wont expect them to qualify for knock out stages of champions league but i hope they slog it out for the uefa cup position......but as they nothing is impossible...........in terms of squad motivation he has done the old trick of identifyin a leader in every dept. and responsiblity is bringing best out of the likes of albelda and helguera......and in terms of squad changes i would expect mata nad sunny to be loaned out and with edu slated to come back and a possible move for the impressive Mehmet Aurelio would solidify the midfield..........in all lets hope the "rocket" can launch this team to great heights.............true los che.........

MCC
oh ho ho its that time of the year again......sounds stereotype cant change....lol..........mcc a jungle outside this jungle city invites us for their culturals called insignia........and off started the journey to the jungle on 20th of september .....i jus came to know that there was a prelims for the competition we were involved in and it was at 11 am...........and me and my partner in crime varda...plotted to leave by 10.....
jus when u think you are on a roll and things are rockin....a birdy wants to prove u wrong......oh yes it does we planned to go to guindy in a share and then catch a suburban train...to reach the jungle......but we are encountered with a huge obstacle traffic......time was ticking and traffic was bamboozling calls from all ma peers and friends..........by 10.45 we had barely reached the IIT campus we lost all hope suddenly there came a path......the obstacle a stupid SETC bus which had a flat tyreand was kept cross in the middle of a road was behind us we reached guindy station by 10.55 got the ticket and as it say when it is good tym it really is good....we got the ticket and got the train and we were helped by the fact the organizers were ready to wait for us and agreed to start by 11.30 we closed in on tambaram by 11.15 but then came a problem the train waited for platform clearence time was running away and it all got cleared and we rushed there and we were accompanied by the third member of our team who was already there we registered quickly and quickly whizzed through theb prelims to enter into the finals....where we faced our arch rivals who were none other than our dear friends from B.com......bad blood flows betwen us...and this time we outsmarted them........we had a slow start but picked up the pace and we won it in the end comfortably.....and pocketted a cool 2000 rupees.........worth the effort...lol.............then i had to come again for the next day and it was event mgmt we were the second team on stage and we had a stupid topic called "you are a gandhian and your friend is a terrorist" we performed decently on stage but we were sure we dint have a chance.......and i left along with my friend.....in his car......to my surprise when i reached home ma homie varda calls me up and blasts me for leavin early cause we had won the second place and we won 500 bucks for this........this time the jungle proved a good place to cash in............lol.......
culturals........
probably one of the best part of college life is going to inter college culturals......you represent the coll and all but you basically fulfill the purpose of bunkin and prefer to be in a alien coll.......and this month seemed to be filled with opportunities to bunk coll on the same grounds......first on the pedestal was in ethiraj coll.......a normal culturals with the surpise being the event mgmt team led by me and jayanth finished second...out of 23 teams man we were overjoyed and that being the first win for our dept in the academic yr was more valuble..............then on 14 there was another culs at the same coll..this time i had a paper presentation..on knowledge mgmt ...i was doin well till the stupid crowd of tht coll screwed me....i had one slide to go and when they pressed the warnin bell for to signal 30 seconds left these morons started to clap so i jus quietly wrapped it up.........but on a better note i went with the pot pouri team for a mixed bag of events but it turned out to be a quiz and we came 3rd..........creditable performance
i got a discount coupon of 200 bucks on purchase of a watch worth 2000 bucks......seems to be the best offer i gt............lol.........

rakshabhandhan
y is this rakhi tied to all the bhai log by bhen log nw i kno.........so that he can bore all her shopping expenses and virtually like a dog with a collar who has to wait outside while they shop in all sort of stores from citi centere and chennai silks to the slushy places of renganathan street and mylapore thanks to my great sisters.........my cousin sister asked me to come to her place tied me a rakhi which had a teddy bear..(uhhhh) and move in public with it and ma sis she tied a one which made jingles like payal...when moved...man i was freaked out....i was against it but then thanks to emotional means and then physical threatens i accepted to do it and there starts the adventure of this tarzan who took charge of payin the bills and carrying the bags...........and i dont know if i was lucky but they completed it in 4 hours.....only......then i took them to a new dine out at mylapore called singapore komala's we had a light snack and a hearty laughter over some jokes before the respescted home ministry issued us notices via the mobile phone to come back..............so soon we left and then as i jus planned to catch an auto something struck to the eye of my sister and there they were sorting out through a pile to find out the essential one required which took abt 25 mins thanks to repeated reminders from home ministry which issued us a ultimatum and thus came to end a saga of shopping with enjoyment for them and ma ride of bring the water carrier..........................
avaniavittam
it is that part of the year which is despised by most of the tamil brahmin boys esp who have stayed outside tamilnadu..................it is avaniavittam..by far the most important event for a brahmachari......this is a three part event which has samitadanam on the first day and on the D-day it consists of samitadanam as well as homam and then on the last day gayatri japam to complete the sequence.....well as it started to do samithadanam on the first day i had to bunk the last 2 hrs of coll which i did pretty happily..in the comfort of my room i did it sucessfully it consists of a small havan and i sucessfully completed it though i was affected by the smoke.....the next day the D day arrived..got up at 4.30 in the mornin cause i had my CAT classes dint want to bunk that so had ma shave(which is compulsory for a bramachari) ma bath and quickly finished up my second dose of samithadanam and sandhyavandanam by 6.15.........when i saw the clock i was dumbstruck i had to rush to my class there came my super dad to rescue....i tht of takin the car but unfortunately ma class does not have a car park and i dont have a liecense...lol....so ma dad jus dropped me on his activa by 6.25 and to my surprise class dint start then we were greeted by a old man who had come to take DI and the encounter with him is a different story then rushed back home by 8.40 to go with ma dad to the near by temple for the pooja........it was supposed to start by 8.30 but started by 8.50 and my god the spped at which those vadhyars were reciting those mantras......valentino rossi better watch out........in ma 12 yrs i had never seen someone utter the vedas at such a speed and then add to it i had a insane old man to help my troubles who was pestering me to do according to him he was having another book and was at some spped of sound then finally to my amazement it got over at 9.40 which was the shortest ever avaniavittam i ever had then came back home had ma breakfast.....then some studies then had an amazing good lunch prepared by mom and sister.....finally i did the tjird samithadanam and sandhyavandanam that evening and chanted 1008 gayatri japams this mornin to finish this year's chapter in avaniavittam come next year again those mantram books have to be ruffled and the panchapatram have to be cleaned till then masti...................
valencia lost...:(
oh shit wer the first words that flushed out of my mouth when i agonizingly watched my beloved valencia c.f. getting hammered at home by villareal......they played badly and thanks to the stupid antics of david villa who misinterpreted the six yard box to be a pool and a moment of sheer madness from joaquin.it is bad to see the club's record signing do such a mistake like diz......i jus hope quique makes the right changes and hope manuel fernandes plays in the midfield to give some more solidity........los che......

go valencia.........................
what a great pre season its turnin out to be for los ches.....having signed some big names in ivan helguera,nikola zigic and timo hilderbrand.They also signed alexis and javier arizmendi..two solid performers who will perform during the course of the season and it is also good they have loaned out mario Regueiro,hugo viana,curro torres,amd also selling out the unsettled francesco tavano and bringing back marco caniera and juan mata and stephen sunday the team looks solid.....and with the saga going over rafael van der vaart......it sounds positive the recent thumping win over elfsborg in the champions league qualifier jus seems to be a trailer it was so pleasing to see vincente in the great form like he was in 2004 and also david silva who tormented the defence now i do belive selling aimar was good.........this guy is too good and with villa and morientes agreeing to stay on the attck looks it can scare the day lights of any defence.....i bet they should be made the dark horses for the champions league.....the midfield again looks good with edu baraja albelda and fiore who may not play a huge part and with signings of juan mata and stephen sunday the midfield looks robust..and then with mista and gavilan and joaquin it will gel well.....and i hope tht the persons out on loan will get valuable playing time and will be useful in coming seasons...the defence seems to be the only concern with roberto ayala leaving it has left a huge gap and they have signed helguera and alexis who do look goodand raul albiol has also looked impressive the goalkeeping dept looks outstanding with CaƱizares and Hildebrand they two of the best shot stoppers in the world.......overall this season looks bright...........
p.s. it would be much better if rafael van der vaart joins in now he even made himself unavalible for the UEFA cup qualifier for hamburg so it jus sounds that the transfer will go through.:)

debate....................or a fight
you cannot change what is present in your genes was the famous saying of errr some great person....but am jus feelin its impact now ma paternal and maternal great grand fathers were very famous lawyers and somehow i was fascinated towards it............and with a new semester under way and the most intresting paper seems to be business law. A lecture i love not for the professor but for my devilish brain which triggers a loophole in the law.which can be exploited..and today i had to step into the role of an interlocuter in my dept debate competition for starters an interlocuter conducts rebuttal with the persons who speak and thus gave me my best chance to expliot the weakness i dont want to say this but i dint spare a single person tried to rip everyone off their skin into the truths.......though i was more biased with my stand lol.....[;)] but i did manage to secure the prize for the best interlocuter but ot a handfull from my HOD and professors for straching the questions and for fighting with the judge also.lol.....
but it satisfied my ego's which only matters to me..................

schorching temperature
It is not often that I roam around this city for certain reason but on 17 I was requested by one of my friends who was new to the city to accompany him to few colleges on his bike as he dint know the way around the city the ironic fact was that even I knew a little about the city a strange journey we embarked on a Honda unicorn to go to 3 colleges and get the application form the first college we went was pachiyappa college one of the oldest and top colleges of Chennai I had quite an idea of its route thanks to the information I gathered from my close sources…..;) jokes apart we were almost burned before we reached there the temperature was a scorching 43 degree Celsius and one was feelin the heat blowing from the tarmac to the feet soon it became tough for my friend pallav to drive along with the congested traffic we missed the coll and turned back and entered it then after buying the application form we had a discussion about his course and about the other requirements then we embarked on a journey now to the presidency college one of India’s top arts and science colleges and due to this heat and traffic we were getting dazed and suddenly you had a creature coming on a monster imported bike through the flowing traffic we braked instantly and got saved from that idiot and then surely the heat took the toll on us and we missed a turn but recovered our selves preceded on the way the temperature was soaring but as we reached closer there was a bit of relief the college was near marina beach (the 2nd largest beach in the world) the wind cooled down the heat and as soon as we reached there we found out that the application forms wont be given till 1st week of June and thus we started back home but this time the trip was better thanks to the road along the coast with cool air blowing it was much better and then we had the great autowallas with their rash driving but the most comic was a middle aged women who was crossing the road as the road was relatively empty we were crusisin at a good speed we saw her from quite a distance and slowed down to facilitate her to cross but this woman was bent on to stop us she was crossing as slowly as possible god knows for what reasons we were shouting at her and then we took a steep bend to avoid her and then we reached home we were burnt with exhaustion so we went out to have a juice and chatted on all our dislikes in Chennai soon the temperature was unbearable and we returned back into the comforts of the home well this embarked on the completion of a monster trip through Chennai city which burnt the head out of us…………….lol.i essentially recmond anyone who wants to come down to chennai..............forget it u will be burnt

Has the Indian cricket team sold its identity?
A question you should ponder I recently observed after the dismal performance by the cricketers at West Indies the number of boys who play has gone down significantly this may be because of the way media portrayed them I used to notice boys talking on having a certain product X which was endorsed by a certain cricketer and they would start to quarrel the biggest attraction for them was the bat sticker which was used it is a common fact that a bat with MRF label would outsell other bats among young children the boys used to argue about the bat used by the batsmen used which eventually leads to me to this question “Has the Indian cricket team sold its identity?”
It seems so even look at the recent contract dispute they want them separated and paid in different rate I have question how much have they achieved that they deserve a better pay the pay package for Aussie team is purely based on performance and not on the years you have been in the team. These players have failed to win any major trophy and argue over pay look at the Bangladesh series it is being hyped as revenge series but it seems no fire is within them they have become numb to critics thanks to the ecstasy of money of sponsors it is high time every one begin to feel that future of cricket is bleak by the money these players have sold themselves for sponsors from bikes to biscuits and everything else. It is evident in the way that they take no pride in representing their country but to prove themselves to prove themselves but does that help the team win question still looms large and i jus hope that all the next generation take up to better sports like hockey football and basket ball and not sticking with cricket because of the money which is still very high in it the sponsors also did a good move by backing out and not sponsoring events leavingthem with no sponsors.so we should better stop helping sachin "SUNFEAST" tendulkar and Mahendra "MYSORE SOAP" dhoni

national disrespect
of the latest case thrown up by the media is the case of narayan murthy's words on national anthem and then of sachin tendulkar cutting a cake which had the tricolor decorated on it now what sachin tendulkar only he knows but in narayan murthy's case he gave a reply that the foriegners would have felt embarassed which is total bullshit even the instrumental version was played but it is jus a matter of playing with words if he had put forward that the foriegners would be not understand it could have put forward a better scenario for him but one thing which struck more was the fact that all the people who were standin there including mr.murthy dint sing along with the instrumental version which our honourable president did i feel ashamed as a indian the way we disrespect the national symbols i have noticed many times the so called "important persons" not standing up to national anthem they say it is democracy but the thing is when u have no patriotism how can you expect to stop brain drain the image the politicians are putting forward about the country is going to ruin the country and who knows even 1 of them would be me leavin these country for betterv prospects but i belive i wil come back to help this country grow
