YEP! am alive.

Hiya people!


Well am n't gonna ask you if you missed me here. Nope. I don't cover big-stuffs like my friends and fellow bloggers. I write stuff, half the time with short-hand notations and improper punctuations. It has been months and more than an year since i blogged the last time. In this span, things which have changed my life entirely have happened. I did meet a couple of new friends and did reap some not-loving-friends too. Am not planning to share every moment that passed until now, because not everything is worth sharing.

By now many of you would be knowing that i have shifted my location for my Masters. Yeah Chennai is not my state-capital now. The Lion-city welcomed me with a candy at the immigration counter more than a month back. The place where littering, spitting is a higher-order offence. The place where i need to press a button and wait for a minute to cross the road, where i can't jump on and off the bus just-like-that, where i find a gym-a park-a drink vending machine almost in every building - yeah am living in Singapore. You have been here before? May be these things will make much sense to you. If you answered 'No', lemme put it in simple terms- (Clean+corruption less Chennai + more strict rules ) * More Chinese + English men + Banglas = SINGAPURA !

Am a Vegan and everything that's available here is non-vegelicious in one way or the other. And that's when i decided to cook my own meal. No! It didn't taste that bad. Except that i tried new combinations, like substituting gram dal instead of toor dal in the rasam and sambars and mixing white rice with idly-chilly-powder thinking it to be parupu-powder LOL. Now temme am i a that bad cook?

Nothing here bothers me except for the routine! As a person I CRAVE FOR VARIETIES! Be it the food or the drink, i die for the different-kinds. Every weekend in Chennai used to be special. The mess i make in my kitchen in the name of trying out different food-stuff. The cakes, pizzas, poha (my sister's vote), custards, mojito (my friend's recipe), cookies (my little friend's favorite)..chilli panner (the last one i cooked for my school-mates a few days before i left Chennai).. There have been countless encounters big and small, flops and great-shows. I kinda miss them. The scoldings i used to get from mom for using more-oil, for making the kitchen a BIG mess, My dad's hugs for super-cool recipes and super-cool poses for camera with my food, my sis's occasional madness at me for applying engineering theories to the conventional ways of cooking- yeah i miss all of them.

But on the brighter side, there are a group of good friends who lead me and love me, a few seniors to guide me through, a loving neighbour who provides me with OC internet ;),super-cool owner uncle who offers us a couch to watch movies in his home-theatre system ;), not to mention my-not-loving-friends who make sure i get more closer to my true-friends..

LUVOO PPL :) :) catch u up soon :)
With all-smyls and nostalagic moments in my kitchen,
ur l8-lil-blogger :D

Ryt-now: exploring the city a lil-by-lil, feeling hungry and walking to my blue-berry cordial, debating on whether to go to mangatha :D

An insight into my class room

Hiya frens,
I know i have been missing from this page for some time. I dunno if there are people who are actually missing my posts. But then, there have been some who asked me to write. So here goes out my first post of this year... Since a college mate of mine suggested this topic and i promised him that i will write on it, here is "an insight into RMK B.E., E&I (one of the best rated departments by Anna university) III year (one of the terrific rated class by our department :D )"

No doubt that the college offers the best transport and mess facilities (the biggest reason why most of us preferred it over other colleges). But when it comes to rules...well am not interested in telling about that. But since we have crossed 5 semesters, the rules are not for us (except the GAL-BOY NO TALK rule which is strictly implemented in front of teachers...But we have actually broke that too a couple of times :) ) OK, here is what we do throughout the day...

6:45 to 7:20 - board the buses depending on our residence
till 8:15 - a peaceful morning sleep with the gentle breeze thru' the windows (if it's exam time, replace sleep with sleep inducing subject books)
8:15-8:30 - BF (well i meant the break-fast..someone thought something else ;) ? )

Then the classes start, but its only for the day-scholars. Hostelers reach only when the roll-call starts..These gals are always busy with their make-up kits (especially the FLORAL queen :) )
And not to mention the guys who have fun..if you are asking me where? the men's SALOON!!
The best place to have hair-cuts at low rates and an escape from one lecture-period. (why gals are not given permission for facial-bleach?? am gonna organize a strike!!!!)

The back-benchers start having fun with mobiles and i-pods (whatever it be) right from the 1st period and since me and my frens sit in the mid of the class, we are goody-good gals in 1st period except for the snores :) And there are a couple of gals and a few guys who manage to stare at the board for long-long hours and manage to take notes of everything being taught..Well how do they manage being SANE ?!?!?

10:10 the break time...people rush for tea (only officially supplied thing to help us live till the lunch). But more activity happens in class..more mobile phones come out of bags..songs get played..more unofficial GAL-BOY talk...making the board ready with some rubbish scribbles before the next teacher comes...and so goes the list...

10:20 classes commence again..those who had the tea have a feel to sleep :) and those who didn't also have the same sensation, but due to starvation :P

till 12:50 ENDLESS hours of teaching..the studious ones stay alive and the non-studious ones either go for a nap or become more more LIVELY with pranks, comments, silly-jokes which get caught by the teachers,photo-ing the staffs using mobile phones, group discussions on movies, gossips, reading story books (i luv it), texting a gal/guy who is a few benches away, passing paper chits, playing BINGO, Truth or dare....

@ 11:30 a sharp pang in stomach when first slot of lunch starts for other departments

12:50 HEAVEN!! LUNCH!! if it is Thursday or Saturday - CHANCE-LESS unlimited cups of ice cream till we get them the next week :)

1:20 lunch ends officially.. but the classroom remains empty except for the book-worms
1:25 people like me, my friends and other non-bookies enter :)

till 3:00 extra doses of sleep after a good lunch..teachers start yelling more with the energy they got from the lunch

(I forgot to include, no one knows when, who will be called to the Hod's room for a CASE !!! :D )

If there are lab classes somewhere in the time-table, then that's the best... more of fun, more of round-table conferences, more of gossips and just the less-work :) that too if you are gud to lab-assistants, then NO PROBS :)

3:00 YUPPEE!! classes are over :) time to get back home :)
3:20 buses start to ply :) but, only GUYS enjoy standing near the steps.. NO reservations for us
:( HIGHLY-UNFAIR :-|

Well i missed out, the times when some office-assistants come and read some announcements when teachers are trying hard to teach something very seriously :)

OK frens, if u think i have left out something in this post...jus shoot out :)

do comment,
Shukran,
nands :)

Right now : am playing a lot of sorority, getting addicted to hossana, thinking badly how to make people smyl (any suggestions?? :) )

Hmm what else?? Ya i wanted to share this...I went to my old-school for they had this exhibition whose theme was to explain a lot about India. There were many stalls describing about our farming-practices, nationalization of rivers and so on. But this particular sub-theme of "ancient India" caught my eyes. I always wanted to know more about it. Now temme who first designed the air-crafts?? if you think it was da-vinci??err..no..it was an Indian some long-long years ago. There were concepts of working of sub-marines, attacking an enemy's flying-craft in ancient India. Actually all these things have evidences in our ancient literatures.

And have you ever heard of "Vedic Maths"?? It's yet another greatest contribution by Indians who lived in the vedic-age (I don't think it's somewhere near and by using the word 'vedic', i just want to refer the period of time and nothing-else). Be it the theory that " plants can respond to stimulus, they can hear..." or the surgical tools used by sushruta, which were used around 600 B.C and are well-designed to suit the needs...i just don't have words...am AMAZED.

Am particularly interested in this sushruta for he mentioned about diabetes, leprosy,hyper-tension for the first time in medical histories. Can you imagine a retinal surgery? a plastic surgery? or a thermal cauterisation at those days??? He has treated people with all these techniques...GR8 :)

I knew we have had some of the greatest inventors but we actually have had some of the bests..but it's a sad-story that not all who found things left a written script :(

“Can we not read into them some justification for the belief that some former forgotten race of men attained not only to the knowledge we have so recently won, but also to the power that is not yet ours?” -Freddrick Soddy

Anyways, I thought it would be nice to share that we Indians have had some of the greatest civilizations and hence born was this blog :)

Do comment,

Shukran :)

P.S. In nandhu's dictionary shukran means "see you soon"...btw it's cool na :) ?

Right now: Am learning different ways to say 'bye', learning to speak Gibberish (if you are interested watch out You-tube video by Jessica..i think you wont regret),planning to learn some bus-routes...

MY SIS

Hiya,
So temme ppl, how are things going?(i guess we have semesters in a week..). And this time i know how my preparations are going on..it's like "GOD..why are all the subjects too dry this sem?"
Anyways, all i want now is to make a post..It's November..that means i have reached the part of the year which i enjoy a Little bit more than the scorching summer.. September to Jan is always fun with a lot of..birthdays..anniversaries..
I have my sis's birthday coming up this month..and i think this is the best moment to write about her...(this post will go-on with things which you might not know..so if you really want to continue, go ahead..else lets meet in my next post...bye :) )

11.11.1995
So this was the day, when charu was born...i guess it was around 8:50 am and i was in school (it was a Saturday and half-working day for me). Straight from school, my dad took me to the hospital..i was with helluva eagerness..i entered the room and saw the little one..."Mom..she looks DARK!!" (she was dark for the first two months..i didn't like her much) My cousins and I wanted to hold her...When they held her, she didn't react...but when poor Nands held her, she screamed like a hell...God I hate it even now!!

After some one year, she made her way to creche(she started to be independent from then)

Then 3 years, i still remember the day...we went to the same school..same auto..The moment auto reached the school, she started to cry..didn't lemme to go to my class...The bell was about to ring..I found one of the K.G. staffs, left this brat with her.(ESCAPE!!)

She hated school then..but still managed to be pretty good in her studies(till now). Since we have been living in flats, she is much familiar than me..She never used to be at home, keeps running up-down 2 floors at least 10 times a day(My mom used to get annoyed for she had to keep checking each house to know about charu's where-abouts)

This one started to fight a lot with me..I had many scoldings from my mom & dad..She did exactly the opposite of what i said at the ages of 4-10..HORRIBLE PHASE OF NANDHU'S LIFE..

She started learning classical dance (the one in which i had the least interest)..I remember the horrible moments when people asked me "hey ur sis is a dancer...and what about you??"
Nandhu: "amma koopteengala???tho vandhuten.."

Then Charu made into mid-school, started to be an obedient sis (comparatively!!), a good dancer, a serious personality-kinda person (unlike me, she doesn't get crazy..I wonder how she manages !?!)

Then class 8th, got her first scholarship(till now, nothing like that in my life ;) ), started to perform her dances in good number of places(enjoys touring all the time in the name of dance..grr..), started to compete with me in the number of certificates she has..

And now..class 9th, I remember the day when she proudly brought home her badge with inscriptions "VICE CAPTAIN"..she is about to trip Malay and Singapore for a dance performance..(Lucky goose..)

This idiot who i hated first (not actually bcoz she was dark..but bcoz i had a fear because, I thought of losing attention paid to me) has turned gradually into a nice kinda company (but @ times it's horrible with her, she lays more restrictions than my MOM!!!).

Anyways, it's gonna be her birthday...And am not gonna show her this post..
And this goes out to charu(if you are gonna find this post may be some years later) "All the Best di..love you loads for you are one of the best and.......worst(..lol..) that have happened in my life :)"

knock-knock..if there has been anyone who have read till now..gr8(u have survived!!)
do comment(if you feel like),
nandhu :)

Right now: Successfully got a new guitar class, thinking about buying a gift for charu(not sure ;) ) , got to prepare for the sem..

Top reasons..

Hiya!!
Having my study holidays started around a week back, i haven't touched a single book for more than five minutes. You wanna what this 5 mins thing is?? pretending to be studious in front of people at home ;)
Anyways, it's time to blog..."oh! how i wish i were a guy.." i have both heard this and said it out myself..After getting some ideas from my friends, here is my blog...

TOP REASONS WHY YOU CAN BE A GUY

* U can comment on a gal in an audible frequency in her presence (just keep ur fingers crossed that she doesn't know any martial arts ;) )

* U can return home late-nights, and there will always be mom ready to serve you a dinner without stares/yells

* U can party with your friends throughout your life

* U can send all those SMS teasing about women (just check ur inbox..i bet am right!!)

* U can fall in love easily

* Phone conversations rarely exceed a minute..and mostly just "uh-huh-yep-ok..then bye" is enough

* If you are 30+ and still single, nobody notices

* U can watch a game in silence with ur buddy for hours, without even thinking(he must be mad @ me)

* U don't need a companion for whatever you do and wherever you go

* Christmas shopping can be accomplished for 25 relatives, on Dec 24th in 45 mins

* U don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt

and now

TOP REASONS WHY YOU CAN BE A GAL

* U can enjoy a pink-coloured lolly on the roads, without caring who is watching

* U can ogle without getting caught ;)

* U can say "I LOVE YOU" and kiss your close friend on her cheeks

* U can have your pick from a huge variety of costumes

* U can make a guy to get on his nerves with your way of shopping

* There will always be people to pamper you

* Sitting and watching people is all the entertainment you need

* Ur friend won't think weird when u ask if there is spinach in ur teeth

* U can cry without pretending as if there is some dust in ur eyes

* " Women and children FIRST " (remember the last scene in 'titanic' mve)

* U need not worry about ur career...there is always a marriage...

So, here is the verdict: " Everybody has his/her own best reasons...
and i hereby conclude saying that both guys and gals are equal in the eyes of justice..err..nature.." ha ha ..
i know i sound like some....

anyways, it has been a long time since i blogged and hence i didn't want any reason to pick up some topic in random..if u have something funny/interesting along these lines, post them as comments...

do comment,
nandhu :)

Rite now: hmm..am hunting for some books(story books obviously), hunting for some topic to write a lyric on (can u suggest me one??i will give a try..) ..so basically it's all hunting ;)

Come back...

Hiya,
So my semester practicals are almost over and just the communication skills lab is left out and here is nands blogging happily...but wait, am i really happy?? er..it's a difficult question for me to answer now...
With my marks dropping down in one particular subject (which i actually love..because of the staff handling it...) and he asking me with all kind considerations (which is quite unique with my department male-staffs..), i was unable to speak a word in front of him...(for i knew i have really made him feel down..). Coming back home, something even more disturbing happened...mom and dad felt bad about my marks...(though i know it's hard to convince parents in case of marks,
i felt really down since i held the whole responsibility...)
As i have this habit of writing lyrics, when i feel bad, i started to write one... I wanted some good time to come soon...thought about my guy, who i really missed out...and here is the one which i wrote...

COME BACK


Come back, hold my hands,
lemme feel your presence again
come back stay next to me,
let our whispers scent the air
come back come back
for life is not the same without you,
come back come back now
my heart aches to be with you...

oh my guy, just don't stare
as you dunno me..
for it stabs a huNdred times
more than the shiny knives,
now my hand seems tO be empty
without yours in it,
my little heart seems tO be too heavy
filled with your thoughts,
So, come back come back Now
my journey is hard without you
come back comE back
I wanna be with you...

That day I thought it was yet another fight,
all I knew then was, It's gonna be all right
But till now the things are not the way I thought,
my heart tells me now, it was all my fault..
My poor heart can never hide my love,
my stupid arms want to hold you close,
not thinking about the world that's around us,
My mind is getting mad about you...

So come back to me - come back
You are my World - come back
come back to me - come back
my LOVE is true - come back
C-O-M-E B-A-C-K.....

For people who want to know about him, all I can tell is his name…I have made a few letters in the 2nd para ‘bold’ …put those letters together to find his name…

For witty ones, who have understood the pun, KUDOS !!!

For the rest, sorry guys, better luck next time… ;)

do comment,
catch you soon,
nandhu :)

rite now: searching for a new guitar class, planning to study the subject which i did miserably bad, waiting to meet one of my best friend who is coming home tom :)

Are you possessive or being possessed?

Hiya!!
I didn't have any idea to blog till noon. But a friend of mine suggested to write about "possessiveness". Hey, i liked the topic. So here Iam.
So what does a dictionary define it as? "not wanting to share Sb/sth". Everybody is possessive about something or the other-even a 2 year old with its dad/mom, a 5 year old with it's toys..then as the time passes ..possessiveness on friends, on lover... so extends the list..
There are just 2 scenes:

-1-
Boy: you seem 2 spend more time with others than with me..
Girl: nope....
Boy: no !! u do...don't do that again...
Girl:Why are you acting weird? STOP trying to be possessive... It bothers me....

-2-
Girl: c'mon how can you act as if you don't care for me?
Boy: What makes you feel that way?
Girl: The other day you teased me along with others..
Boy: It doesn't mean anything..
Girl: It does..you no more care for me...

In both these cases, the underlying current is possessiveness. When someone becomes close to us, we tend to feel as if we care more for them, than themselves.That's what land us in being possessive. Actually speaking there is nothing wrong about possessiveness as long as it doesn't bother the person on whom you are possessive. But once if the person feels it intriguing, it's time to stop acting so.

A senti-friend of mine said, "Why don't people understand that being possessive means, there is love underneath?"

Another friend of mine said, "people confuse care with possessiveness. There is a subtle difference between them, since possessiveness is not a fun anymore if the person feels uncomfortable."

Everybody has different opinions..and this is mine: "It's good to be possessive, after all it shows love. In fact i love to have people who are possessive & don't lemme down in-front of someone else (with whom iam not that very close). But everybody needs some space to breathe..so, letting people to breathe freely is also a sign of love. "

So, be possessive when someone feels down, it cheers them; But allow them to be themselves, it shows them how much you love them for being themselves.

I just forgot what my other friend said, "You idiot, you have microprocessors exam, and you are blogging about who-gives-a-damn-possessiveness.."

oh God!!i forgot that...my models are going on and it's time to read...

Do comment,
catch u soon,
nandhu :)

Rite now: A lil bit busy wid study books, Thinking "Have i really hurt someone by being possessive?" ;)
