Something i came across...
Am in the middle of exams..feeling utterly foolish at having to do something that i don't see any sense in doing.
All i could say was : "How true !! *sigh*"


Sometimes I am a little unkind to all my many friends in education ...
by saying that from the time it learns to talk every child makes a dreadfull nuisance of itself by asking "Why?".
To stop this nuisance society has invented a marvelous system called education which, for the majority of people, brings to an end their desire to ask that question.The few failures are known as scientists.

I'm on msn spaces too.
This new blog is a part of my "indexing" and "classification" attempt.
Lets see how it goes.

5 years...in a nutshell.

Its too early to say goodbye, but one has to start somewhere...

Things I am going to miss about Chennai :

• Evenings at the beach, listening to the waves, talking, living life.
• Early morning shows @ Satyam, watching movies 3 rows from the screen.
• Deluxe and Express 21G.
• Travelling half the way across town for a case study, and ending up spending half the day waiting outside for permission.
• Triples on TN 09 E 8833.
• Getting off hurriedly if any of us sight a policeman.
• "Combined study" , where most of the studying happens only after 10 PM the night before the exam.
• Fights with the college watchman , EVERYDAY , about letting us in late.
• Impulsive sleepovers, where we actually sleep.
• Planned trips that NEVER go according to plan, but end up twice as much fun.
• Infinite photo "sessions".
• Trips that are meticulously planned, but never materialize.
• The comfort in the knowledge that the only thing that separates me and a sympathetic shoulder is a phone.
• Giggling like schoolgirls over silly things.
• Fighting like bounden enemies, laughing the next minute like its only thing we know to do.
• The numerous "I'm at....wru?" msgs.
• Ladies' coach of the beach-bound trains.

kick off !!!

Just signed up for a blogspot, hence, am still trying to figure this out.

The first post is dedicated to my friends from my first school in bangalore - Sudarshan Vidya Mandir.. who have, unknowingly, helped me in getting a new blogspot membership.
Thanks, guys.
