Category Archives: Life’s Like That

The year that was!

A major part of the first half of 2008 saw me being down with boredom. And then, there was this bloggers’ block. The no. of unfinished posts lying in my drafts written during that period stands testimony to that. These apart, though 2008 was better than 2007, still quite a few things which I wish had not happened, happened. But hey, now is not the time to dwell on all those. There are lots of moments to cherish and a lot of other things thinking about which makes me so happy.

It’s Friday! Yay! ;)

Waking up feeling so fresh (this is surely not a thing that happens often on a working day 😛 ), with Dad deciding to drop me at office, me happily listening to Sanjay’s Padmanabha CD (had a tough time choosing between Ghajini and Padmanabha!) and enjoying a beautiful sunrise on the way 🙂 , reaching office in record 20 min!, this day couldn’t have had a better beginning! And with a Sanjay’s concert today evening and a whole lot of concerts/lec-dems, including a concert of Sanjay, lined up during the weekend, the next couple of days is surely going to be even better with me doing a lot of sabha-hopping! Just thinking about it has got me even more charged up that I cannot wait to finish my work soon and leave!

Btw, this morning, yet again, I started feeling that it’s high time I started driving the car. 😐 It would be great coming to office in your own vehicle without having to hurriedly get ready every morning worrying all the time about missing the bus! And with good music for company, it would be even great!

It has been one crazy week!

The line that I keep telling myself these days is ‘Life is like a see-saw!’ And proving that line yet again was last week, the busiest and stressful of weeks in the recent times, when the week transformed from one full of stressful days to blissful days. Except for those times when I was attending concerts, I have been totally busy juggling a lot of tasks. Adding to it is computer at home not working. 🙁 Anyway, even if there had not been a problem with computer, I am not sure if I would have found time to even go near it. Screaming for my attention are hundreds of unread blog posts, thousands of unread messages in Rahman fan club and a lot of posts waiting to be transferred from my mind to my blog! But, with lots of other pending tasks too waiting to be completed, those have to wait for at least the next few days. Cya all soon with a series of posts on the December Season!

Laughter unlimited!

There are times when once you start laughing, you cannot control your laughter at all. And, the worst part is when once you start laughing, you might remember some funny incidents that made you laugh like this in the past, thereby making it even more difficult to stop laughing! Now, imagine this happening so very often for two days continuously! 😐 Makes you feel so stupid! I am very badly in need of some laughter control therapy. 😐

I miss

I miss those days when a major part of my day used to be spent in chatting with friends. Group chat with 4 friends, group chat with another group of 5 friends, individual chats with 2-3 friends – all happening simultaneously! I used to be so busy chatting that I never got the time to even get bored. 😛 Today, after a very long time, group chat happened with 3 of my friends. It made me miss those days all the more! Sigh!

Did you read it?

I know that there are only a few of you who read my posts on Carnatic music. Considering the fact that it is one of the posts that I really enjoyed writing in the recent times, I would like to know how many of you read ‘Carnatic Music & Me’ series of posts. Just curious!

Need a break from ad breaks!

Friday: Some 2 hours of Rhythm
Saturday: Quantum of Solace (at theatre, of course) and Vivaah
Sunday: Jab We Met and some 2 and a half hours of Chupke Chupke
Monday: Anbe Sivam and Super Singer and again Anbe Sivam

Watching TV for so many hours, especially sitting through all those lengthy, boring breaks in between, makes one feel as though all one did during the entire day was watch TV! It is another fact that that is anyway the truth. I have had enough of watching the same old boring ads again and again. I am surely not watching anything on TV today except Super Singer.

Traffic jam

Here’s a post that had been lying half-written in the drafts for more than a week now. I thought I would post it anyway now. I am really becoming lazier by the day!

Every time I am stuck in a traffic jam and see an ambulance stuck in the traffic, it really pains my heart. I know I have written about this earlier but I couldn’t help writing it again when my Mom told me that somebody’s relative who had suffered a heart attack, passed away on the way to the hospital since the ambulance could not reach the hospital on time, thanks to the traffic jam and diversions! How sad! This happened on the day when there was a heavy traffic in many places because of Vijayakanth addressing his party workers or whatever.
