The Algebra of Infinite Tragedy...........

For months ........i nurtured her......providing enough nourishment .........wenever she got a bit off -colour...i took extra care ........she was with me.......IN me rather.......walking with me wherver i go...sleeping with me wen i sleep......she was a little baby...my most loved one......though she wasnt the only one....she was my most beloved one...to the extreme jealousy of her brothers and sisters....

i had this motherly feeling taking care of her....it was ecstasy..........she was the "apple of my eye".........so tender.......so tiny.....gaining shape.......i took extra care moulding her.......caressing her.......kissing her.....
i spoilt her with all my love ........dressing her up with the most cutely coloured dresses.....washing her daily.....with the costliest of all liquids......i went to bed with her everyday....i bathed her....i cuddled her.......

and this is where i probably made a big mistake of my life.....she became a pampered child...she wudnt listen to me now....which made my worst fears come true.........Tuesday.......20th of JUNE......The dooms day......my loved one met with a terrible accident.....she got hit in a door.....and had a fracture......

now wat happens wen soooooo tiny and slender a thing gets ruptured.???......YES....it became true.....she was taken away from ME....
like a child being cut off from the umblical chord......the misery of my life took her away from me....

they cut her off me....with that EVIL SURGICAL INSTRUMENT.......and with that ......they took all of them away from me.....like siamese twins.....eaach one met with the same misery...

Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...........the agony .............how can words describe it...........a dozen tranquilizers wudnt ve eased my pain at that moment.......

now here i am bald and scraped....off my fav ones.....my loved one....fav one......
Oh....how i dream of her STILL........

and wen i go to her cemetry near our house ......my heart becomes heavy and burdened........I adorn her cemetry with flowers even now...and celebrate her death day........

I miss u .....my favourite nail...............


pls visit her cemetry if possible to pay ur tributes to the ONE i REALLY LOVED.......its very near to my house....near the dustbin in the road.......!!!!!!!!!!!!This is wat they call......INFINITE TRAGEDY....i can never get over this separation!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Wonderment @ MGM- lured into the Magic again....

MGM DIZZIE WORLD- the Magic world...This is my second blog entry about an MGM trip- dat too in the same semester..Still it remains an ever-sweet experience..with an amazing gang of friends( our IT guys n gals) with the company of srini and mythreyi to top it all....

let me begin by sharing my version of yesterday's happenings.....

date: 22nd april day: a superb SATURDAY

started off in a bus to cmbt where we were to meet some more ppl and get into a bus to mgm...mind u...dat was my first time on a mofussil bus...had never covered such a long distance in a PTC bus..was filled with excitement and apprehension until i got a nice cozy place to sit...with lovely music making the scene beautiful...and also fragrant..( until a lady selling fish kept her basket right next to our seat!!!!)

The bus journey seemed like hours n hours...until at 10.45 we reached our destination where the angry lions were ready to pounce on us in the arena for arriving 1 hour late...finally we went into the Magic world- the Wonderland...unmindful of anything...even the Scorching Sun God who was at his
peak....(with ramya and me giving a horror sight with our freaky caps)
(a gud job of mine if i do say so myself....to get the tickets with fair
concession ...for the mega fun... heh heh)

There was chaos at the ticket counter due to which probably no one noticed ramya cleverly robbing rohit of 60 Rs in the pretext of buying tickets.....heh heh....now its my pleasure to expose her act....

· The first ride - though a simple one- THE GIANT WHEEL....the anxious gang stepping into the ride full of energy ........Then followed by a series of cool rides....

· a SWING( where i got down while the machine was still running immediately following srini's advice...proving my implicit obedience....),

· SPIDER SPIN...where shankar got his second nightmare...(the first nightmare being travelling with bala whose only job was to observe who got panicky and who didnt..guess dats his way of overcoming his fear...heh heh) and rohit got his dream come true becos he sat with u know who..went into a dream sequence amidst a very tough ride ..guess dat was why his nightmare didnt start dat time....dat was wen srini n mythreyi joined us.....mythreyi was gr8 company for me...my BULB,BAG and CAP companion)...

· Disco saucer ( found srini's Gorgeous Girlfriend there.....)

· Dashing car...(where we had fun dashing and bumping at each other..of course rohit went inside only for posing..his car got struck...heh heh)

· The Family horse toratora ride...where myth and me( the bulb company) mounted on a
single horse...only to receive dat days quota of bulb...from the person there prohibiting anyone to go on doubles..lol.)

· Then came the first of the challenging rides.....The ROLLER COASTER.( of course was not challenging enuf for ppl like me and sri)...but of course terrifying for ppl like asir who went and hid behind a bush to avoid the ride.......lol

· There was the RAINBOW RIDE- to get a complete view of the whole area.....too
scenic ....too beautiful to be explained in words....

· At last the most awaited ride- THE ROCKING RANGER...where they give free training to shirasaadana....make ppl stand upside down at gr8 height for a few seconds....the worst nightmare to get into....with sriram and me meeting up in the sky....in opposite vehicles.....greeting each other in the sky....wat an awesome experience it was.....was glued to it so much that we went twice in it....at last...one ride fitting to my CALIBER.....whew...Wat a RIDE......


And then there was this ROCK n ROLL where suja did Sherlock Holmes job and found out Alex'a mobile hidden below the seat.....and really started ragging him with the mobile...and was getting very gud at it until his dad started calling and she got caught in the act.....not to mention the fact that she then got a Big treat from him for finding out his lost mobile......heh heh)

· One more ride worth mentioning was the SPACE SHUTTLE- which turned out to be a horrible nightmare for rohit and mythreyi maam....

After relishing on the stolen mangoes......we went to have our lunch.presumably light becos we had more daring rides after dat.....not to mention moses who took at lump share of almost everything i bought for eating .....including the cotton candy....

and then there were the new light and fun rides.....which were very cute.....not to mention the FRISBEE ride...which turned out to be unexpectedly tough n rocking....ROHIT's nightmare #3.....( actually the second one was little bit done in stealth....not many noticed....and this info was straight from the source...)

finally we ended the day with some exciting video games ....i played some shooting game and a bike race...but miserably failed in both......

And while returning ...dat was where the fun started..imagine the situation for a
person like me who had never travelled in buses much to stand at 7.30 in the
night waiting for the bus of which there was no trace of coming.....and the only
fact that i was amidst friends made me keep my cool then.....at last after switching to two buses...and an auto...i reached home at 9.30....tired physically ....yet spirits still high and whirling in a cheerful mood......


From a 10 day all India tour which became a dream....to a 4 day local tour
...which was foiled by cts tests......the trip was shortened to a one day experience......but still the one day gave the fantabulous fun of a lifetime.....
And the memory of the day will be forever engraved in my heart.....which felt heavy while reurning home......

Really the day was full of fun n frolic....with the whole class gathered together as a final trip before bidding adieu to each other....dats wat made the experience more special and unforgettable...

A really special Parting gift.....i ll treasure both the pics taken in the cam as well as the sweet memories with a wonderful bunch of friends forever.........

ANCIENT epics - preluded the latest technology advancements....

The two great Epics of the Hindu culture- THE RAMAYANA and the MAHABHARATHA.....which are not just epics in the western sense of the word, but are scriptures, the very reading of which earns spiritual merit here and hereafter......Every Hindu knows the story of the Ramayana and of the Mahabharata, purely by osmosis of the culture, if not by one's own reading. ......they provide the essence of all the moral and ethical values that must be folowed for righteous living..besides they have also provided cues for the developments of the latest technologies in today's world.....

If one dwelves deep into the intricate issues given in these magnificient informtion base, only then does he realize that whatever have been considered the milestones for technological development, those issues had been handled already in the Mahabharatha and the Ramayana......


Let us see some analogies between what was described in the epics and what has been invented in the latest centuries.............


MAHABHARATHA : - the vicious game of dice....
This killer game of dice which was played in Mahabharatha both between Pandavas and the Gauravas as well as in NALA's story between NALA and PUSHKARA...which made paupers of them.......the strategy with which Shakuni played or pushkara played.....

is what is now known as GAME PLAYING ALGORITHMS - Minimax procedures..to minimize the opponent's victory possibilities and to maximize and optimize one;s own score...

MAHABHARATHA : -Vyasa dictating the mahabharatha story and Lord Vinayaka writing
Telecommuncations: VOICE INPUT RECORDER.......to convert the signals of the linguistics into scripts and feed them into the computer.....
this was mentioned in the mahabharatha itself......centuries back...!!!!!!1


RAMAYANA : - The PUSHPAKA VIMAANA
The most revolutionary find ....the older version of the modern hi-comfort hi-tech aeroplanes.......

MAHABHARATHA : - The solar eclipse:
The well known fact about Lord Krishna bringing about the eclipse n order to help Arjuna take revenge on Jayathradhaa.....

MAHABHARATHA : - Draupadi Swayamvara:
When Arjuna was asked to hit the eye of the fish by looking at the reflection in the mirror....we can see clearly that all the principles of LIGHT THEORY , FOCAL POINT , principles of reflection and refraction have been followed to finite precision...

MAHABHARATHA: birth of Lord Balarama:
When Rohini exchanged the embryos with Devaki , before the birth of their seventh child, this was a unmistakeable demonstration of surrogate motherhood ...and thus the latest medical breakthroughs have also been dealt with ........


VISHWAROOPA by Lord Vishnu: -
an example of Zoom technology........

Bheeshma's bed of arrows
Could be the example of the Reiki, articulatory points ,Acupuncture etc.......which kept him alive till the 18th day of Kurukshetra....

Arjuna's tremendous display of archery
was an example of all the games which require acute concentration and skill,,,like the snookers,Rifle-shooting etc

Sanjaya the charioteer, describing the happenings of the kurukshtra to the blind king Dhrutharaashtra-
This is an advancement of telecommunication like the LIVE RElay of cricket matches,Live shows and so on,....

Ramayana- Lakshman Rekha-
Anologous to the barbed electrical wires to provide security to any national treasure and so on....

Karna's Kavacha Kundalas
The same as the bullet proof armours that politicians and soldiers wear for their security........

Hanuman burning the Lanka with his tail unmindful of his own life..
The same as the suicide bombers ...the terrorists today......

And many more.........We cudnt find a single field in latest technology which didnt find their place in the Ramayana and the Mahabharatha.....There lies the greatness in these eternal literatures which has continued to provide us with the knowledge and the virtue required from time immemorial......

As long as human beings remain what they are and are moved by passions and feelings, as long as the struggle between good and evil continues to rage in the human heart, as long as mankind is faced with the problems of war and peace, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata will continue to remain a source of aesthetic enjoyment and moral and intellectual enjoyment.............

After all- Tomorrow is another day

I wont think about it now....
I ll think about it tmomorrow..
After all...tomorrow is another day......

these famous dialogues of Scarlett in Gone with the wind...has come handy to procrastinators like me......

MOM: clean up ur room dear
ME: Tomorrow mom!
DAD: Have you solved the puzzle I gave you ???
ME: ok Dad!keep it on the table!!will read it tomorrow...

The list is endless......

But I would be commiting a great sin if I called myself to be a procrastinator when the issue is regarding studies.....i am not one of those people who do their preparations in their eleventh hour .......i am not a wee bit lazy when it comes to studies....

Look at the very same ME when it comes to exams :-

MOM:Enough reading darling!!Come out and get some fresh air
ME: NO MOM!!Having my exam tomorrow....How can I relax????

But Believe me ... the situation has now become topsy-turvy.............

Today the situation has turned to be exactly topsy-turvy.( only with respecxt to the last dialogue.....)
And ultimately we ve landed up in a situation where...........

MOM: why arent u studying for ur test?
ME: tomorrow mom!anyways its gonna get postponed!!!!!!
MOM: Do we really need a walk now?? tomorrow u have ur exams!!!!!!
ME: Oh Come on Mom!!Relax!I ll eat my hat if they dont get postponed !!!!!!
(thinks) : I get to see some Gudlooking guys out in the street...wats the use of staying at home studying for the stupid test which is bound to get postponed!!!!!!?????

A gr8 alibi for shirking my duty ...i must say.....

And i am damn serious when i say this......the final semester of my college life...and the final assessment tests.....dunno wats happening.....

but this final sem everything has changed......becos I got used to prepare in the last minute....as everything seems so capricious....Take for instance...I take pains to bunk lab and study for a test...the evening just when i start my revision i get a message that the test has been postponed due to some unavoidable circumstances...
the worst part is that the reasons are just too genuine.....

And i ve metamorphosized to a state such that nowadays I am quite reluctant to open my book even the day before the exams.......hoping that it gets postponed this time also .....

I cant get myself to believe that I am the same old Miss Goody two shoes...who used to be ready with exam preps at least one week before......

And for the Good or Bad ...its brought about a radical transformation in my attitude....But let me take a postive view that it has made me rugged enough to EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED!!!!!!!

Why is all this happening????

Is it God 's way of teaching me a lesson for all the things i e put off in my life till now???( like cleaning my cupboard!!!!)

Or is God leading me to perfection by making me revise the portions again and again.....The OPTIMISTIC view......


Well....again..let me console myself saying that whatever happens is for the Good!!!
let me not break my mind about that .............
My brain is too much overloaded with processors,memory organizations,Instruction sets..........etc etc...............

So back to square one now.....the good old dialogue............

I wont think about it now.....I ll go crazy if i do....
I ll think about it tomorrow......After all...Tomorrow is another day.....

arise awake...

Well....people may wonder what a small post can do in a blog do to undo a major social evil.........But as we say....a drop makes an ocean....so lets face it together ......and fight against the demon lurking ...

ppl trying to suppress women in undue methods like eveteasing ought to be stoppped...and it lies in the hands of the youth ...to root out the evil from the society.......

Years and years ....we ve undergone times of trauma and suppression....now lets rise up and fight for the restoration..and prove that woman is the phoenix .....who can get reborn from the darkest of ashes...and still become all powerful.....and emerge to be an equal...with no inhibitions ...forever......

DOUBLE YOU (W)- O- MAN.......lets do it together and rise against eveteasing........

The Blank Noise Project

The SALTY COFFEE

Here is a true love story which touched my heart..so thought i ll share it with u....

He met her at a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after her, while he was so normal, nobody paid attention to him. At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him, she was surprised but due to being polite, she promised. They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable, and she thought to herself, "Please, let me go home..." Suddenly he asked the waiter, "Would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee." Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned red but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it. She asked him curiously, "Why you have this hobby?" He replied, "When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea, I liked playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood, think of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents who are still living there." While saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched. That's his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home, has responsibility of home... Then she also started to speak, spoke about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story. They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who meets all her demands; he had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm, careful. He was such a good person but she almost missed him! Thanks to his salty c offee! Then the story was just like every beautiful love story, the princess married to the prince, and then they were living the happy life... And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee, as she knew that's the way he liked it. After 40 years, he passed away, left her a letter which said, "My dearest, please forgive me, forgive my whole life's lie. This was the only lie I said to you---the salty coffee. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time, actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt. It was hard for me to change so I just went ahead. I never thought that could be the start of our communication! I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for anything... Now I'm dying, I afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth, I don't like the salty coffee, what a strange bad taste... But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life! Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for you. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for the second time, still want to know you and have you for my whole life, even though I have to drink the salty coffee again." Her tears made the letter totally wet. Someday, someone asked her, "What's the taste of salty coffee?" She replied, "It's sweet."

well..............sometimes the smallest of lies we tell to impress our loved ones make the most beautiful memories to be cherished ............Its never wrong to tell cute little lies to make our loved one happy.......
