It’s that time of the year again when the mad rush for getting admissions to ‘good’ engineering colleges has started. Even before the start of Board Exams, many parents are already thinking of paying 3-4 lakhs for buying seats for their sons/daughters in engineering colleges. When you don’t even know how the exams are going to be and how your son/daughter is going to perform in the exams (I am sure a student not scoring good marks throughout the year can surely score good marks in the board exams if he/she puts in adequate efforts during the study holidays.), why should you think of buying seats for them now itself thereby encouraging the college management to charge unreasonable ‘fees’ for management quota seats? Besides, won’t the student lose interest in preparing well for the exams when he knows that a seat is already waiting for him in a reputed college? I mean why should you study hard when you know you are surely going to get into a good college? 

Why is it that the same people who spend something like 5K/10K at shops like Lifestyle, Pantaloons, Westside, etc., without complaining, start bargaining the moment they start shopping in shops on the platform?

I feel I have written a bit too much about things I like. For a change, here are some of the things that I don’t like:
1. People letting their mobile phones ring loudly in concerts, temples and movies. It’s high time the silent/vibrating mode in phones is put to use.
2. Not following the queue.
3. Sutthi vaLaicchu paesaradhu – I am a frank person. If I like/don’t like someone/something, I say it straight away and expect others to do the same. If you want to say something, just say it, don’t sugar-coat things.
4. People smoking/drinking – God knows what pleasure they find in that!
5. People not following the traffic rules

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?

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!!!!

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.

Wishing everyone a very Happy and Prosperous New Year!
