Designer Sarees – The Changing Trend in Chennai

The months of April-June seem to be the months of weddings what with one friend after another getting married! I don’t think I have ever gone for as many weddings as I have during the past couple of months! The one thing that is surely changing or rather has changed in Chennai is the popularity of silk sarees especially among youngsters.

Guys, you are most welcome to skip this post unless you want to read it for educational purposes like this person here. 😛

When minutes matter!

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!

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. 😛
