Just a thought

A friend of mine was searching in Google for some articles that her nephew could submit to his school magazine. Guess in which class her nephew is studying in? LKG!! When I was in LKG, I don’t think I even knew about computers. It’s another fact that there was no Google at that time. But, jokes apart, aren’t all these done in schools so as to encourage the children to bring out their creativity? Besides, what is a kid in LKG going to submit to a magazine?

This week….

What started off as a week filled with confusions is going to end as the best one! I had to take up an exam on Tuesday. Initially it wasn’t confirmed whether I was to write the exam on Tuesday or Wednesday. The whole of Monday got wasted with me mailing and meeting a lot of people trying to confirm the day of the exam. By the time it was confirmed that I had to take up the exam on Tuesday itself, it was Monday evening. After preparing ‘very hard’ for the exam, I went to the building where I was to take up the exam only to hear the security tell me that there was no examination room with the name I asked for, in that building! With less than half an hour left for the exam, I got tensed a little bit and finally managed to reach the room which was indeed in the same building(!) with help from a friend of mine. The confusions didn’t stop with this. As soon as I completed the exam, the mark I had scored got displayed on the screen. Since I didn’t know what the cut-off was for clearing the exam, I wasn’t sure whether I had cleared the exam or not! Everyone had their own say as to what the cut-off mark was! I finally found out that I had indeed cleared the exam! To ‘celebrate’ it and to take a break from all these confusions, I took a day off and it was total masti at home on Wednesday. 🙂
It’s back to confusion-free days now. I went to Sanjay’s concert yesterday evening. The Nattakurunji that he sang! Wow!
Now here’s what’s going to make this week the best one: I AM GOING TO WATCH GURU TODAY EVENING!!!!

Good Morning!

It’s that time of the day again when my mailbox has started getting flooded with mails wishing me Good Morning. From where did people get this idea of sending forwards wishing people Good Morning along with lengthy inspirational quotes? And today being Friday, I will soon be getting mails saying its Friday today and it’s time to enjoy the weekend. After getting too many mails like this, I too will forward some of them since I don’t want anyone’s mailbox to be empty when my mailbox is full of mails of these sorts. 😛 Here’s wishing all the readers of my blog a very good morning and a great weekend minus all the inspiring quotes and poems.

Does your name start with ‘A’?

I have always wondered whether having a name starting with the letter ‘A’ is advantageous or not. (I know you must be thinking idhellaam think panra vera velaiye illayaa! Seriously ippo vera velai illaye & blogla edhavadhu ezhudhanume! 🙂 )  Be it in school or in college or for that matter even at work wherein employee number is allotted according to the alphabetical order if more than one person joins on the same day, mine has always been among the first few roll numbers. As a result of that whenever a teacher/lecturer asked a question to the class and no one answered, as would usually be the case, the teacher would immediately say that if no one volunteers I will start with the first roll number then! That’s it! You would end up standing in front of the class without knowing the answer! The worst thing happened in college where we were asked to give seminars in some subjects. Since no one volunteered, it was decided that starting with the first roll number everyone will give a presentation every week. By the time not even half the number of students had given a seminar, the semester was over and the others escaped. The same thing had happened in many semesters.
As they say, there is always another side to the coin. Having a name starting with ‘A’ meant all the practical exams and viva got over for you first. It felt good to relax when others were studying hard. 😛

Procrastination

I think the word procrastination was coined especially for me. I always keep postponing things and end up doing all the work in the last minute. Of course, I still manage to complete the work on time. Maybe that’s what has given me the confidence to leave everything to the last minute. I also feel that I work more efficiently in the last minute. 🙂 The reason why I am writing all this now is I went to three concerts last weekend and still I haven’t written about it in my blog in spite of logging in many times to write it. One reason why I started writing about the concerts I attend is I will have something to write in my blog regularly. But I have gone back to my good old habit of postponing things. (How can I claim that I have gone back to it when I never did stop postponing things?!!) As a result of that, I have already read many reviews/writings about the concerts that I don’t feel like writing about it now. 🙁

Why do people eat animals? :((

Vegetarianism is one topic that is very close to my heart. I don’t really know how people are able to kill and eat animals! Today, I got the picture above as a forward, with a subject ‘World’s Saddest pic….really touching’, from one of my friends who eats non-vegetarian. Looking at it I couldn’t help but wonder why she had sent me that picture in the first place. If it really touched her heart so much that she sent it to everybody, then why is she continuing to eat animals? You may ask me why I didn’t ask her this question. But, I have already asked so many people how they are able to eat animals and till now no one has given me a proper answer or worse they tell me that I should taste them and see. How I wish people would stop killing and eating animals!
