Suddenly, I feel a surge of positive energy flowing, suddenly everyone seems right, everything seems just in place.. I want this moment to continue into eternity; a prolonged moment of satisfaction and comfort makes me realize the power of positive energy !
Every word uttered and every thought unuttered; every action that ensues in some way will change the perspective towards life at that point in time and hence the quality of life over a period of time.
Hence, the attitude and outlook have such a powerful influence in the material of the best being u can be. Clearer outlook, hence clarity in thought, hence decisive and focussed. Now u know what u want and hence there is a higher possibility that what u attain is what u wanted, because u have a direction to go. With better decision, u r more confident - At this time, u fall in love with urself. Being able to love urself is a good indicator of ur mental health. When u r able to love urself, u r more receptive to the love people around u offer. Now u have received love, u r more than ready to share it. The love cycle has a wonderful impact again on ur positive energy.
B+ve is my blood group !!

Mom,
I must have listened to u..
U told me to learn Karnatic Music when I was 8
I thought it was fashionable to say "I wont"
Despite ur best efforts I won my game of ego..
and I ended up not learning it
Today, I repent ..
Wish I could sing aloud..
Wish I could sing my heart out..
Wish I dinn have to carry on with the heaviness in my heart ....
Wish it was "Kurai Ondrum illai, malai moorthy kanna"
~ Realization thats late by a few years, To be Precise, 16 years ~
I promise to listen to u in every bit of detail, now on.

I live on the ninth floor of a 14 storey building. The apartment has a balcony that looks out towards the city. I have lived here for the past 10 months now.
However I never realized until today that the balcony made a wonderful piece of scenic and pictureque view point. I have always been accused of spending 95% of my non-sleep and non-class hours on the phone. Well, no one actually accused me. Tis just that I have enjoyed being online! Nothing has changed now than the realization of the fact that being on the phone in the balcony rather than in the bed behind the comforter would probably be more exciting !!
If I were Wordsworth, I would pen a poetry abt the scene. All green, ever extending blues, no traffic and a panoromic view of the world in its entirety.
Sadly, that I am not wordsworth, I stop here.

With the list of things that are yet undone......
Draw sequence diagrams for an assignment due tommorrow
Draw class diagram for a project thats due tommorrow
Grade 100 odd papers
ERP project thats due a long time later - 3 more days to go
EBIZ project - behind by just 2 weeks
Mrinalya Project - behind by just a month !
To top the academia,
"Collect addresses so that I can post the wedding invitations",
"Go to Kroger and Do Some HAVE-TO-DO shopping for the weekend retreat !"
The next week is going to be hectic, with prof meeting, beating and slacking !!:) Am I beyond repairs? The irony of the situation is that I am not too bothered about any of the above mentioned 'to-do's.
Lethargy and laziness has built into my system so much that I would probably miss it if it chooses to bid adieu. So it stays on and I stay put on blogger world rather than start even with one of the action items
As happy and Smiling :~: as ever

One of my 'da gang' friends is getting married today. This post is a tribute to his marriage, to the couple, toast on our friendship and a note to say "Wish u a great life ahead"
Nalam vazha ennalum en vaazhthukkal
Tamizh koorum pallandu en vaarthaigal
100 varusham indha maapliyum ponnum dhaan
peru vilanga nalla vazhanum !
Little would the couple understand the meaning of the above verses.
Yes, we are a group of friends from diverse cultures that found a meeting point in the name of Oracle, when we joined the company on the 29th April 2002. For most of us, it was the first job, high expectations, honey-moon period in a company paid guest house and a team building experience that brought us into a close-knit group of well mannered, mature friends who are again now seeking different experiences in different parts of the world.

Yesterday, I had been to a 'party' party, where people expected me (and some of my friends) to actually party which we dinn know how?! The day before the hosts of the party had held one for the undergrads where those kids seems to have made a mess of a place. And we the graduates were well-behaved which was puzzling for the hosts. Part of the reason is probably the fact that most of us were from a low-profile background that kept enthusiasm of the real 'party' folks damped too. Ideally, it musy have been the other way round, the real party folks egging on the others to perform (:p ;)) , energize and party.
Yours truly is a vegetarian and doesnot mind eating anything under the sun under the belief that what she is eating has no meat. The moment she knows that something contains meat, no one can make her have it - come what may.
I noticed a fellow me who walked across the buffet table, looked at the different platters and moved on and soon he found himself at the end of the buffet table and the plate was empty. And there was potato chips at the end that he could finally pile on into his plate. :)
Considering the number of vegetarians in a typical party, I would vouch to have a few veggie dishes that she can mouth. In the next year's party, its gonna be a treat from yours truly in preparing a vegetarian meal section. By that time, I hope to be an expert cook !
Fine, now the scene change. You find a bunch of guys playing soccer. I am not a big player of soccer but would have loved to try my hand (sorry leg) at the game. What kept me at bay .. Well, I hate to admit it was the fact that there was no other 'girl' who could play. All the other girls were chit-chatting and so was I !:(
I spent 34 bucks getting there! Thankfully, one of the kind-hearted professors offered to drop me back. Thank You sir. Thank You party for a few facts that quite threw me off like the style of the outfit to the lifestyle of a Indo-American family !!
Long live partying !!

May 22 2005 - Once again, I created the blog
I have had a perpetual desire to start a blog and begin blogging. However it required a much stronger drive that I today (hopefully) got by reading my roomie's writing escapades.
I would owe u a thank you note if this materializes into a regular blogging window. Wait on the timeline until then !
Now that I have started, I have 1001 scenes, reaons, incidents, stories and anectodes that I want to write about. But I wonder if one of them will entify into a BLOG ENTRY.

Dont cut things short !!
Scene: A bunch of people in a general conversation. Three students and two professors.
A New Topic: What was the daughter of one of the professors doing !
Past Info in the group: She was looking to join an under-grad school. Which school was the question
Professor Says:
She is going to Wash U.
Thunder burst out laughing !!!!!
She was just going to the 'Washington University, St Loius", which was universally said and understood as "Wash U"!!!!
The truth of the matter is these days, everything has an abbreviation.. Ther is no time left in the world to speak every word in its details. And once in a while, the sentence parts of verb and noun, subject and predicate fall in such a precise place that the whole sentence is mind-blowingly ....

Does life suck ?
When something sucks, it saps your energy and undermines the quality of your life. It makes you feel smaller and wish you hadn't participated. It sabotages your joy and you walk away feeling crummy. When it comes to your life sucking, you cant just walk away from it. If your life is getting in your face, you might want to know why, so you can do something about it before it gets worse. As you face and plug each hole, you will transform every challenge into a gift.
Together we can turn tragedy into triumph and make it all a win. You are not a victim, you are a powerful creator. You can make the changes in your life that will get you the results you want. I guarantee that if you practice the principles you learn here, your life will change for the better. Plugging one leak at a time. Along the way, you might even fall in love with yourself.
Unsucking your life is an inside job. You do not need to import power, for you were born with it; you just need to plug the holes in your bucket through which it is leaking. The quest is about peeling away the lies and illusions you have been told, and went on to tell yourself, that have kept you living smaller than you deserve. When you do, you will be amazed to realise how much you have settled for. Then you will have little patience for halfhearted living and reclaim your right to live from choice rather than default.
Any experience that leaves you feeling empty, less-than, or needy does so for only one reason: You entered into it feeling empty, less-than, or needy. The illusion is that relationships will take away the pain that keeps you feeling small; the reality is that relationships magnify the pain that keeps you feeling small. And yet there is a gift in the process: you remember that the source of your strength is inside you. When you elevate others at your expense, nobody wins. When you source your life from inside out, everyone wins.

Round is the shape!
Did Megellan know that the earth was round before he discovered it.?
Do all us of us know that life on earth(as if I had a choice to choose Mars) is round too!?
Life comes as a round.. a circle that has no beginning and no ends.. c'mon thats old philosophy.. but its new realization.. a new discovery of its purpose.. and a new idea to feel the relation!
But does the circle have the same radius everytime u travel around? if they were not, how do u jump between the concentric cirles, no its not geometry.. is the period of jump a high or a low? as u live farther away from the center, u get a better perspective of the world.. which means your granny is so much more better off understanding life than u .. How often do u realize and buy it!? Understanding Software code and understanding life .. are they inversely related.. nay.. they r jus not related!
The joy is not moving away from the center sooner to get a better view.. The fun is in experiencing the view from every possible perspective, direction, angle and relation. As u move further .. there are times when u want to live by to ur soul.. and u realize that the soul is at the center of the earth and that u r jus too far .. and there is no road connecting the two. ..... Now u have to maneuver ur way to the center.. and this path is nor a free ware.. nor is it a licensed product available for distribution. It is when u need to learn the language, code, and test urself thro' it.. a real life beta testing!!
I can go on and on.. but the gist is.. Follow ur heart and not ur head.. Heart travels thro every path.. and teaches you to live and love every experience.. And it is the heart that will take u back to the center too.. not the head.. The Power of .. change.. The power to change.. the eternal truth, the guiding factor, ur God .. its all in the heart..
Enjoy every moment! Enjou ur rambling thots!

My Knight in the Shining Armour !
the dating period.... the getting-to-know period.... These are typically not well known in the place where I come from.... The way it works is see the guy for a few minutes, have a not-so-private conversation for some 30 minutes.. It either works or does'nt at the end of it !
However for us, its been a little different. No very different..
My guy is no knight .. no armour of course ! no question of a non-existing-thing shining?! Yet to me, he is going to mean the world to me.
Welcome to my world my Knight!

Geography Teacher!
While I was reading my previous post, I realized that my Geography mam deserved a post too !
This is how it all happened.. shh.. I am still unable to retrive her name from my mammoth database. I vaguely remember now.. I think she was called Vaijayanthi.... We were Eli/Poone in sixth class.. For some reason, I used to be terrified at her.. She used to be the only homosapien who could make me pee in my pinafore .. well while I was 10 then.. :)
Every .. when I say every, I mean it.. EVERY class .. EVERY day, ANY damn question she asks, I would stand up and and thats it.. The whole class would know that was the end of the lecture that day.. I mean the Geography lecture.. From then on, it will be a personalized lecture directed at my stupidity, indolence, temerity to maintain tight lipped ( I was truly terrified, no one knew? ) and dumbheadedness.....
It went on that way until the end of that year.. Seventh class, thanking Heavens, I was transferred to a different school.. I was just too happy to leave Madras, courtesy-Vaijayanthi..... This phase proved transient when I had to return to the same school for eighth std.....
Every being in the school looked at me as if I had just landed in an Alien suit from Mars.. A confused look that said, this face looks unfamiliarly familiar.. I was the only 'new admission student' who already knew others in the class.. So I was in the middle of nowhere.. I could neither identify with new students nor with the rest of the class, for I was weird to them to return to a class, when they thot I had gone (forever)..
Come quarterly .. Go Vaijayanthi.. and the rest is history !
As I write this, I wonder ..... The coming of adolescence and terrified behaviour.. Yeah ! Science made me bad, If I ever were ! I became good, defying Science!!!!

Tsunami ? Marina ?
Tsunami .. who? oh that guy about whom my geography mam tried to make us understand and we never bothered to .... ? way back that was .. ten years down the memory lane..
oops! I wanted to mention that teacher's name and my thoughts are searching the directory and cannot retrive it:) .. I remember she got married and left for Gulf when we were in eighth class.. We were just entering teens then.. that we created drama about her leaving the school.. well, back to tsunami.. We were asked what it meant in the Quarterly Exam that year.. and I missed my centum in Geography because I dint know who, rather what it meant ?
By the time we were back in school after the break, many things had happened in my life ( deserves a blog of its own .. including my first solo trip by train!!!!) .. that I started cursing myself for missing that centum.....
Tsunami...... I cursed it then.. and fate had it curse my lovable Madras now........ :(
I havebeen timewarped with Madras and its times..... How can I ever forget
.. the evening rides to the beach when I was only 5
.. the way I used to pester my dad to buy icecream and nuts for me !!
.. the way I always got confused between Clock Tower and TV tower ..
.. the way my dad and his patience taught me to tell them apart after an year
.. the way I broke my teeth when I fell off my tricycle on a sunday evening ..
.. the morning walks to the beach when I was living with my Aaji
.. the jogging schedule that would not last for more than 3 days in a row!
.. the molagaa bajji
.. the never-to-happen Marina Swimming Pool !
.. the slides that were up for a while..
.. the family game of throw ball when I was 16.
.. another family game of kola kolaya mundhirikka when I was 16 ..
wah sweet sixteen !!!! With such memories of Madras and Marina, my heart skipped a beat when I heard abt the tsunami at 2:00 am EST .. Living thousands of miles away, I realized that I am immortally tied to 'U'..
Hundreds of ppl of my kind .. for walk/cricket and gaming in the December break.... have gone forever ..... May ur soul rest in peace..

Sachin, the little "genius"
~! With due regards to the creator of this piece !~
Kudos to Sachin for battling and fightin off a torrid last session inMumbai...
Coming at 11/2, and immediately under pressure, the little "genius"decided to play off the rest of the day (around 25 overs projectedinitially) and save his wicket for a better day...Scrathing around with the confidence he has been having in the last 6test innings, he firmly avoided the ignominy of getting run out for aduck. He tapped the ball to the off side and set off for an improbablesingle (lucky for him, Rahul responded since Sachin was no meansGanguly) and was half way down the pitch when his bat came between theball and the stumps. He eventually slipped and fell awkwardly into thecrease, and cheers pounded the stadium! Sachin was off the mark!!
Later he managed to see off some excellent bowling of McGrath andGillespie by leaving outside off, ducking, padding, and edging.. It wasone of those days where he had all the luck to go with his magnificentform, that the edges fell short of the slip fielders, and the umpireswere intimidated by his sheer presence.
Tendulkar decided to pad-off a perfect McGrath incutter, coming straightto crash on to the stumps, and fortunately the umpire Rudi Koertzen wasbored giving LBW for Sachin these days, that he thought of not giving inthis time. Sachins face said it all. The master batsmen, the littlemaster, did not even have the courage to look at the umpire, because heis so sharp to realise he was lucky. Frustrated McGrath walked awaythinking it would just be a matter of time..It was not to be..
Not many would realise the value of 2*(31) innings Sachin played lastevening, but I believe he would rate it high amongst the toughestinnings he has ever played.
Kudos to Sachin, fighting for India's pride and self-redemptiom!

no blog !?
hmmm......
aahhh..
oh.. nay.. uhum.. uhhhhhh..
mmmm??????????
??????!!!!!
I have decided to blog today, come what may! Have been thinking what to blog about.. the best part abt blogging is that u dunno me.. so I can go on and on.. blabbering abt the most insane, boring, fit-for-nothing kind of topic.. beloboring in the blogging key!
but lemme come up with a topic soon.. help me do that.. what is that thats goin to interest the whole lot of junta out there.... Cricket.. the one goin on in Nagpur is the last one that I want to blog about.. hmm....... We deserve a better drama.. !
Abt my cooking .. hmm I relish.. not my cooking but writing abt that.. Today, what started out as Sambar became koottu in between to get finished as Curry! .. For more details, u gotto enter my apartment and see my smoke alarm go.. see the cooker is its best shape.. thawed and stove blackened.. and me amidst all smoke! wow! what a revelation.. ?! Culprit......... Less of some Hydrogen and Oxygen in some proportion inside the cooker, which refused to build pressure..!
But cookin is too personal to me to expect the whole world to get interested in.. so I chuck cooking as a topic to blog abt ! Can I blog abt the excited state I am in.. I have spent the whole day replying to backlogged mail box.. here I go .. start with a mail.. and down I see umpteen more waiting for my attention for days together.. Now does nt this appear to be too boastful abt how busy I am or how many people are vying fpr my attention;)! And u kno the reality is neither of the two.. :)
I have come way down.. deciding that today is not a good day to blog.. So I am quitting the scene right now.. bye bye to blogging ways?!
aahhh..
oh.. nay.. uhum.. uhhhhhh..
mmmm??????????
??????!!!!!
I have decided to blog today, come what may! Have been thinking what to blog about.. the best part abt blogging is that u dunno me.. so I can go on and on.. blabbering abt the most insane, boring, fit-for-nothing kind of topic.. beloboring in the blogging key!
but lemme come up with a topic soon.. help me do that.. what is that thats goin to interest the whole lot of junta out there.... Cricket.. the one goin on in Nagpur is the last one that I want to blog about.. hmm....... We deserve a better drama.. !
Abt my cooking .. hmm I relish.. not my cooking but writing abt that.. Today, what started out as Sambar became koottu in between to get finished as Curry! .. For more details, u gotto enter my apartment and see my smoke alarm go.. see the cooker is its best shape.. thawed and stove blackened.. and me amidst all smoke! wow! what a revelation.. ?! Culprit......... Less of some Hydrogen and Oxygen in some proportion inside the cooker, which refused to build pressure..!

Loyalty of the universal law
In leaps and bounds..
my life has come by..
from the bubbly childhood ..
to a responsible woman ..
I would not refute if u say
I longed to be grown up when I was a kid
and now long to go back to second childhood
as if I ever have a chance....
forever I thought it would last..
the exams.. the tension the homework and stuff..
its gone.... its back.... in all its fervour and fever
constantly dynamic thats how its got to be
in the pensive moments creep
my inner passions for nagging from sleep
any man who is taking a nap
so that I could take his lap
I did that umpteen times
can I do it again ?
Can I recite rhymes ?
am a grad student in pain :(
I did have the respite in between
it is that that did more harm than good
so in all life began
rainbow shades died and let me grow old!

chaos in order
chaos in order.. This is how I could descibe my variant thoughts! It has no direction most of the times.. Like a 5 yr old, I would want to be a gafa if I meet or come across one..
The way I think is total chaos.. unbelievably hopeless.. yet somethign happens.. all time around.. this game of happening around should continue as long as earth comes around the sun.. again 'n again.. it gives me hope.. and reason to live..
Unstructured thoughts, random processes, probability of getting hooked on to something meaningful, loosely connected idealogies, strong opinions about nothings.. hmm.. I am getting tired of the way I am .. but I guess I like it .. somewhere in the corner of my self..
I happened to come across one called _ _ (VJ) Her privacy consideration ;) .. She writes poetry.. Admittedly, none of them is GReat.. Some of them were readable though!! .. and guess what I wanted to quit engg and become a poet.. what am I made of.. ?? guess milk and petrol will make a pastry for my birthday celebrations at 2 pm in a crowded Madras bus between .. 13B?? :))
guess what? I want to create a new blog for placing my incognito poems.. yet to be written.. I create the blog and then sit and see if I can make me hastham write anything resembling rhyme w/o a reason! I would give it a title.. publish the url all around the world and if I realize I am jus not made for writing poetries,I would convert the blog to hold my someother equally quirky activities until I realize I am not good at it too!! :(( ....... am I being negative all thro thsi blog??
..... and I call myself eternally optimistic.. ?!!? I am most of the times.... Infact romantic and impractical will fit in precise with enuf harsh and biting pull rather than a fine word called 'optimistic'. :) ......
see, I cant conclude this.. This will go and on....... and suddenly out of nowhere it will end rather abrubtly and I 'll call it my nonsensical style

Flashback - 1 dated Sep 26 2004 - weekend after school started!
This one was different.. Different from what it was two yrs down the memory lane.. I had major plans of laundry , cleaning, studying, catching up with ppl .. list is endless..
and what I did.. yes I did something useful.. but that was over before the day got dawned.. My good friend and I spoke at length abt a variety of topics.. He life is changing.. I 'll miss her.. :( .. She is getting on with life.. life should get better for her.. :) I hope and Pray.. I kno her Krishna will take care of that;)..
I slept.... Got up.. with books all around me.. tried to pour me in.. it drowned with more sleep .... again and again.. Day alternated between sleep and study sessions;).. The book by Irv Englander is drab.. Its all stuff that one mustave learnt at the sixth class level introductory class to computer science...... Can u believe it? What is HDD, FDD, Monitor, Binary numbers.. uhh.. in a Grad School :(.. Anyways.. I guess from the exam point of view, it could still be difficult.. :) Pray He is with me and with my Grade:)
...... saturday was over in a short while.. in a lapse of sessions gone unnoticed.. I met a guy called Prashant who wanted to go behind a Greek !! .. I still cannot take the fact that Indians could fall for Non-Indians.. Indians my only criterion! ;)!!!!! No I am not despo at all!
Sunday....... wow! after the joyfully painful one at Camp Allyn, this was respite at work! ;).. Will get bac for more!
Mixed moods.. in fact better .. Getting better with day... getting better with getting busy!!

Westlife - Seasons In The Sun
Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We´ve known each other since we
Were nine or ten
Together we´ve climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and abc´s
Skinned our hearts and
Skinned our knees
Goodbye my friend it´s hard to die
When all the birds are singing
In the sky
Now that spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and i´ll be there
we had joy we had fun we had
seasons in the sun
but the hills that we climbed were
just seasons out of time
goodbye papa please pray for me
i was the black sheep of the family
you tried to teach me right from wrong
too much wine and too much song
wonder how i got along
goodbye papa it´s hard to die
when all the birds are singing in the sky
now that the spring is in the air
little children everywhere
when you see them i´ll be there
we had joy we had fun we had
seasons in the sun
but the wine and the songs like the
seasons have all gone
we had joy we had fun we had
seasons in the sun
but the wine and the song like
the seasons have all gone
goodbye michelle my little one
you gave me love and helped
me find the sun
and every time that i was down
you would always come around
and get my feet back on
the ground
goodbye michelle it´s hard to die
when all the birds are singing in
the sky
now that the spring is in the air
with the flowers everywhere
i wish that we could both be there
we had joy we had fun we had
seasons in the sun
but the hills that we climbed were
just seasons out of time
we had joy we had fun we had
seasons in the sun
but the wine and the song like the
seasons have all gone
we had joy we had fun we had
seasons in the sun
but the wine and the song like the
seasons have all gone
we had joy we had fun we had
seasons in the sun
but the wine and the song like the
seasons have all gone
As life moves on, we say bye bye to many people.
Each time u say a bye, u 'll have 2 'Hi' s to tell.
Yet, its pain to leave the ones u love.
Yet, we do it .. time and again.. in search of better living.. and we get 'em..
Do we? Don't we? A million dollar unanswered question in itself.
If all ur life, u strive to get at something.. and the strive means a purpose to u.. and it goes on and on..
so much on and on.. that the ends even when at reach.. u r too busy to look at it..
Yes that what life is made up of.. the stuff.. the time.. each adds its own spice to what we call L-I-F-E
So take the learning with u .. but keep goin..
