In Trance
Have you ever been in a state where you don't know what day/date is it and seriously have no idea of knowing it ? Have you been where nothing matters and you are totally impervious to everything that happens around you ? It is as if you realize nothing matters and so you let go of everything ? That is a dangerous place yet a really happy place to go to ! I know it drives you crazy to be there at times and at others its really enjoyable. You pass out of the college, you are supposed to feel bad. But You are as if you never lived there. You are going to a job of your dreams, you are supposed to feel good. But You are as if it never mattered and then you start wondering if that is really a job of your dreams ! All you care about is the boost that you get in the morning - is it hot enough ? does it have enough sugar ? and even that, most of the times is perfect and you tend to not care about that !
May be too much of leisure does not do good on you ! But that again sucks ! You don't want to be the workaholic everyone knows you to be ! Then you are clearly confused what to do next. You both love and hate what you do and what kind of person does that make you ! You love doing night-outs but don't want to do them because that makes you not normal. How can you possibly both love and hate topcoder at the same time ? Or is love and hate the same thing ? Is that all it comes down to ? May be its tough to love and hate a thing; but maybe its not that tough to like and dislike the same thing ? And what is liking and what is loving ? Where do you draw the line ? and why should it be a line and not a curve ? And why the heck do you use so many smiley-s ?
You know you are in trance and you want to get out of it. You think/wish that it will change when you go places, but that is yet to be seen. I wish it changes for you, that you don't get into this stupid trance once again and you laugh at this post that I even cared to write it for you!
Peace ! Vaazgha
A Cow in a room
All incidents and people in the story are real.
4.00 am:
Karthi wakes up for a midnight leak. Comes out of his room and turns right once , left on... Wait!!! did he see something in his right. Turns back and looks again. Some one with a strange dress is standing outside a few rooms away from his room holding the door tight.Karthi is a bit scared. Karthi moves reluctantly near the person and finally he finds out who the person is !
karthi : Dei neeeyaa ??? innum thoongala ? ( hey its you ?? havent slept yet ? )
person :saniyane, thoongitu thaaan da irunthen ( I was sleeping only)
karthi: (bemused , irritated) approm ippa enna pannitu irruka ? ( what the f*** are you doing now then ? )
person: room kulla oru maadu irruku da! i got scared and came outside.
karthi:( shocked to hear such a reply ,) dei monna naaye, nee thookatula olarathukku naan thaan kedachena ? poi olunga thoongu da ( WTF ??? a$$ hole , u are sleep walking, go sleep).
person: Dei please help da, i slept at 3 only, help me get the cow outside. i want to sleep
karthi: (strikes head five time saying ayyo ayyo and goes to finish what he woke up for)
The poor person waits outside the room for some time , reality still finding a tough time to sink in and finally after 5 min and once he got convinced he had been dreaming/sleep walking , he still carefully opens the door, checks if there is a cow in the room and then goes to sleep like a baby
10:30 am
karthi: dei , un roomla maadu eppdi da irruku ? (how is the cow in ur room ? )
person: what non sense ? I am in first floor and how the heck can a cow climb up here ? have u been dreaming ???
karthi: dei @#!$$^%$^&%*&*(&^&***^&%
( the surrounding crowd mockingly beats up the person )
End of another of the crazy days for the person
PS : person = suren = myself
The summer holidays it was !
Well , another end of holidays ! This time for the first time , I wanted to be free , thoughtless , not bothered about anything, well I _wanted_ to be and It seems you dont get always what you want
So I had been doing a lots of stuff , or the same things again and again , as usual ! Here is a small gist of people places , stuff that had kept me occupied !
House MD - Anjuta - OSP - Finch - elinks - IIT Alak hostel - basera dinner - Besant nagar beach - football with the kutti pasanga there - Tiffany's sambar vadai and Idly - IIT Madras Nueral networks Lab - The funny team there - the invisible brother - the beggar - the prank - water cooler- - the chronicles of the satya , monkey and the icecream - kakarat and the aftermath - STD calls to hari - Banglore trip - Google Banglore : the big monitors , the microkitchen , the playroom - Yahoo! : foozball - Alagu's room and the timeless/precious mokka there (Man i miss it ! ) - Taggy's truce - some blessed road in banglore
- Gopi and gang's room in banglore - falling in love with django - Big bang theory - Star dust - Murugan Idly shop - MTC buses and footboarding - Crooked house - Brida - jeeves- the never ending / never satisfying placement preps - The surgery in my toe - lunch and cards at Hari's home - being the accountant of a settled young man - the back stabbing and the aftermath - the wierd kids - the useless and pathetic two !
There are lots and lots more which I dont even remember properly ! All of it happened in a span of one month or so. So though it is not what I aimed for , its better than the usual poking in front of the computer and whiling away ! Still there is a hyderabad journey sometime soon ! dunno when though ! Hope you guys/girls (well I am just being optimistic
) had a nice holidays too ! see you in college soon
Bus Travels in Chennai !
I know there are lot of people who don't like Bus travel , particularly if its a crowded metro bus. At the end of the journey , you end up with sweat all over the body and completly exhausted and you have all reasons to dislike travelling in one such bus.
But I differ. Being brought up in townships like Neyveli ( No points for those who deduce I am from Neyveli) you get deprived of all these city 'effects'. Like even for the latest Dasavadhaaram movie, 'supposed' to be so hard to get a ticket , my brother happened to get tickets right out of the counters , for just Rs 35 , in one of the theaters in Neyveli. I mean , there is no fun , camping the ticket counters, which happen in cities like Madras, so naturally, if you get what I mean.
Sorry , deviated a bit. So my point is , I was always fond of foot-boarding a bus. I cant do that in neyveli , because There will hardly be 10-20 people in a NLC bus any time. If I foot-board in such a bus , the conductor is gonna ask me nicely ! So it was not possible to do that in Neyveli.
Now being in Chennai , I got a wonderful chance to foot-board the bus. I was going to meet my uncle in anna nagar from IIT madras . I took 47 and even when I boarded it was crowded. By the time I went to T.Nagar it was fully crowded and I was one of the 5 guys in the last step. The travel was about for one hour and one of my most memorable one's. Though I didn't know any one of my fellow foot-boarders , We had a really wonderful time , helping each other to get some space to stand and passing witty-but-no-way-hurting comments at the conductor and driver , who were having a rough time getting things going. At every stop , we had to get down and there will be more passengers added and we will board the bus back.
Well even as I say this , I no means forget the dangers of foot-boarding. Probably this might be my only try.But Come on I am not going to do this when I am 40. I do hate the MTC travels most of the time, but travels like this are kutti kutti fun in our life. Had you G.K Chesterton's short story on "Running after one's hat" , you might understand the difference better.
Probably If I had been brought up in Chennai , might not have seen so much fun in this. But as I am not , these aspects of a normal city life are still an excitement to me and brings out joy when I get to experience them. Its something like that 'money cant buy you' stuff that comes in ads
Juno
![]()
A Wonderful movie ! I loved this movie from the first scene. No body is a villain , not even fate this time. Just people, their feelings, actions and how it all matters. Ellen Page as Juno is just wonderful. I am not gonna review this movie , but its here because it made an impact somewhere and I am happy that it did. If you are sick of the same old action masala plots that we are used to , then Juno would be a pleasant change !
She’s in the kitchen !

Mummy ! Just seeing the pics I am left memerised ! One person can do all that ???? And whats more , she has some twenty more links like that
Writing in Third person !
Hey, you know of a guy called suren ?
He is funny, idiotic , non-sensical (most of the times), computer friendly, chaat ,extreemly lazy, not very much of an interesting guy. He isn't all that good guy but not a bad guy either. He loves spending time with his friends but doesn't have enough time. Gets caught up with some work or the other and doesnt have time for himself( Things like pragyan,Nittfest, clubs, pengufest blah blah). He is not sure of what he wants or what he likes. He is utterly confused of what to do in the forthcoming days because his school days had been more of a tea-spoon feeding and he does not have enough wits to figure it out himself( If he had been , then he would have not been writing this blog). Him and his friends were confused about his actual place of residence - either the strange room in Lapis hostel or the sun lab. In spite of all the show offs he does, he is not all that what actually being understood of him. You know he had been my mate for such a long time. Half the time I would think I knew him , but other half he would surprise me with his actions. .... ( enough of this third person chaat )
PS : Tomorrow is my exams and well that explains it ! Right now watching How I met your Mom and Justice league. The Flash guy rocks
Damage #5
There are two parts because both happened almost at the same time !
--part : 1 --
Getting a stomach upset is not a damage ! But it is a damage when there is no water in your hostel and the nearest place where you can go is to another hostel some three furlongs away and that too in a cycle , holding your stomach all the way ! Grrr!
--part: 2 --
You go to class late by < 5 min always and the very-nice-natured-teachers mark you absent for that and at the end of the session one has to go begging for attendance ! This is not at all a damage because the mistake is on my side ! But now since there was no water today , all i could do was brush with the drinking water and go to the other hostel and then be inside class at 8.25 for a 8.30 class. But the teacher comes 5 minutes late and takes the attendance at end of the class !
I better start worshipping Murphy as my kula theiyvam !
Sad day for my blogging :(
Yeah very sad ! I am going down on readership by one
PS: and that too when i have decided to blog *actively*
Damage #4
Of all people who give me damages/kelaas , I will say Hari,Taggy and Alagu take up lead roles but I like it very much
I send a forward to hari and few others like this :
'''
"books say read me ! money says earn me ! time says plan me , flowers say smell me and my sms says "just remember me" - good evening ![]()
'''
and of all people I sent , Hari alone replies and that too in middle of a fun trip like this
'''
books says read me but we dont do that , money says earn me but we dont do that too, time says plan me but we end up wasting money and ur sms says remember! Which we are not going to do
patti dog ! where do you get such forwards
'''
you know if you met any of hari,taggy,alagu , you can never hate them if at all you cant like them enough! And to know them all at a time and be their friends , you cannot complain life hasnt given you enough
