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. 😛

Came across this quote recently:
It’s important to plan but please remember that life is what happens while you’re busy making plans.

How true!

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. 🙁

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!
