I had been tagged by Priya Iyer sometime back. Every time I started to write this tag, something or other came up. I finally got the time to finish it.

Ten Things You Wish You Could Say To People Right Now (names withheld):

• Thanks a ton for that lovely gift! 🙂

• I don’t want you to give me any motivation. Atleast don’t de-motivate me!

• I am so happy that I got a friend like you 🙂

• For heaven’s sake, learn to take good care of yourself!

• Hope you come back to Chennai soon!

• I will never forget all those motivating/inspiring words of yours.

• I never expected that you would change like this!

• I have got tired of waiting.

• Thanks for reading my blog!

• Thanks for all the wonderful comments!

(I thought of not withholding the names for the above two. But what if by mistake, I leave out one of your names, my dear blog readers? So I had to withhold the names 😉 )

Puranjoy has tagged me. I enjoyed writing this tag since it gave me a chance to write about my school as well as college life. 🙂

Life Ten Years Ago

A decade back, in class 8, I was this silent girl in the class who spoke with only a few people in the class and whom most of the teachers didn’t know. The home works, assignments, lab sessions with simple experiments which seemed complex at that time, classes all through the day in school that I used to enjoy, Tata McGraw Hill Physics book for class 9, craze for reading Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew – finishing a book within a single day most of the times, a group of friends with whom I always had loads of fun during the class hours and a close friend with whom I used to chat away endlessly all through the day on all topics under the sun (I lost touch with her a few years back 🙁 ), the Hindi (I enjoyed writing all those exams conducted by Hindi Prachar Sabha), Math and music classes after school, the summer holidays when I went to my grandmother’s place where all the cousins had gathered and had fun unlimited all through the day, playing shuttle/badminton with friends in my flat in the evenings, when TV meant only Doordarshan, lost in how beautiful Nithyasree’s voice was in kaNNoaDu kaaNbadhellaam, when weekends didn’t mean as much as it means now – never did I keep telling TGIF on Fridays when I was in school – Life was indeed fun at that time! 🙂 Am missing those days now! Sigh!

Having nothing to do on Sunday evening, I thought I might as well watch the movie, Jab We Met (telecast on Sony), since I remembered reading good reviews about it. But I have never liked Shahid Kapoor. So I started watching the movie, not sure of how long I will have the patience to watch Shahid and Kareena. Besides, these days, I seem to have lost the patience to sit through the long breaks in between. 20 minutes into the movie, the first break came and still I wasn’t bored of the movie. In fact, I seemed to like it!

Now don’t think this post is about some serious thing on reading the title. This post is just about my laziness!

‘2 minutes Ma!’ – That’s where it all starts. That is the reply that I give my mother everyday morning when she wakes me up. 2 minutes extra sleep becomes 10-15 minutes and by the time I sit with the coffee in my hand, the countdown for catching my bus would have already begun!

How would you feel if very often you have to keep repeating the same thing again and again like a thaenju poana record? I am reaching the limits of my tolerance! 😡

Yesterday I had to go for a teammate’s engagement. I had planned with other teammates and told them that I will be there at the same time as them. But as usual, I was the first to reach there and others didn’t turn up till it was almost an hour since I reached there! 😐 Imagine having to sit through the whole function all alone without knowing anybody there! Why is it me who always turns up first everywhere? 🙁

It was a small hall and I chose to sit in a corner since I knew nobody there. Since I couldn’t see what was happening on stage, I moved to another chair and sat. At that time, people started distributing flowers to everyone to throw it on the couple and bless them. When people started moving forward to throw the flowers, I went to the last row and sat lest some flowers got thrown on me (!). Within a few minutes, someone came and asked those of us sitting in that row to turn our chairs and sit facing the table that was there behind and have our dinner! Since I had to wait for others to come, I moved to another corner and sat. I felt so stupid moving from one chair to another and keep waiting. 😐 Before I knew it, everybody except the couple and their close relatives maybe, were having dinner and I was asked by many to go and have my dinner. Tired of waiting, I had my dinner and just as I was about to finish it, others turned up finally!

I hate days like these when I have to wait all alone for others. 😡 In times like these, my mobile phone is the one that comes to my rescue – I either SMS friends or call them up or type blog posts while waiting. Without my mobile, it would have been even worse yesterday!

In WordPress, :-x/:x represent angry smiley -> 😡
In Yahoo, X-(/X( represent angry smiley ->
In Yahoo, :x/:-x represent love-struck smiley ->

Imagine typing [:-x] in Yahoo instead of X( for an angry smiley! 😐

Why isn’t a standard symbol being used everywhere? It’s so confusing 🙁

I don’t know why but all of a sudden, I seemed to have got bored of a lot of things. The past few days nothing failed to interest me – nothing at all! I took a book to read but that didn’t interest me! I thought of writing a blog post to keep myself occupied and I realized that I found that too boring! I heard myself saying, ‘A blog post on how good a concert was or how super a Rahman’s song is or how beautiful the sunset was? Not again!’ Adding to it, some things that really irritated me had happened and the boredom reached its peak. So what did I do to beat boredom?

I have almost stopped all those scrapping & networking through Orkut. The craze for Orkutting that was there during the first few months when I joined it is long gone. I am in touch with hardly a few people in my friends list. Apart from the occasional exchange of Hi, Hello and wishing someone on their birthday, if at all I login to Orkut on that day and see the birthday notification, I am not doing much of Orkutting. These days I rarely get (s)craps. It has been a long time since I visited the n number of communities that I became a member of and used to be an active member too of some. The reason for this post: I logged into Orkut today after a long time and was just thinking about all these….

Btw, I saw a scrap from someone who wants to know how to become a friend. (?) Here it is:

Any experts out there willing to give some suggestions? 😉
