of pimples, among other things...

it is pretty hard.. here i am trying to conjure up something that makes sense and voila! i have something being typed here on the screen by.....well.....ME!! sorry if i sound all delirious... its wat late nights can do to me...
i seriously wonder if i'll ever know where to draw the line.. the thin line between a blog and a journal.. it is scary coz i dont want the two to become one... i know it wont happen but its a fear thats been building up.. not that my diary is every inquisitive and gossip-hungry person's abode... its just a part of me thats so me it cant be anyone else's... get wat i mean? aaaah.. chuck it...
so life's as redundant as it cam get.. i mean college is fun... boring but good.. / there are these volcanoes sproutng out on my face and i think i can blame it on the canteen... it isnt that great but atleast i get a cold drink.. my batch is wat you might call a set of vagabonds.. coz we are a "moving" class like how they put it.. so evrytime a teacher leaves we have to pack our bags and shift.. its a pain.. i lost my way once during lunch but thankgod i wasnt pinned down by any seniors... some gals in my batch who did happen to encounter some i'm-so-cool blokes were picked on.. nothing much.. the usual corny stuff like i like ur smile and crap(yeah they kept smiling...well wat do u know???) guys get a life.. and some new lines.. like puhleeze you can do better than that?? but yeah the gals like so wat the heck rite? rite!!! sheesh!!
soem of my proffs dont realise how sad they are.. there's this guy who keeps saying thre exits instead of exists.. and another who says it black for it block... i mean people dont you hear yourselves when you're onversing?? i dont mind it coz its jolts like these that wake me up.. and remind me of those pimples on my face which i know can be avoided if i dont pick on them... guess we all just loose our killing-time techniques beyond a point..
speaking of which, i dunno if the et madras plus and corporate dossier is familiar here.. for some heated comments and criticism (and a few praises for the wry humour.. very occasional though!) check out the next post coz that'll need some thought gathering... which is quite an effort coz thinking isnt my cup o tea... maybe i try... at least tea doesnt get you pimples.. chi!

the younger one.. part 2

couldnt really complete that day's post due to ceratain unwanted elements... and anyways things like this are better off said this way than all in a go...
actuallly i was just listening to this nice song by alanis morissette... she's a bit cracked up but boy is her music strong!!! i mean the lyrics are damn good... this particular one called hand in my pocket is so i'm-like-this-and-dont-give-a-damn type of songs... well arent all of hers??? in particular the following lines (which are the first and last lines from the song...)

I'm broke but i'm happy
i'm poor but i'm kind
i'm short but i'm healthy yeaaaaaaahhhh



I'm free but I'm focused
I'm green but I'm wise
I'm hard but I'm friendly baby
I'm sad but I'm laughing
I'm brave but I'm chickenshit
I'm sick but I'm pretty baby

all in all its a nice song...

so speaking of weird people i'm not that sane either.. i mean i like going to the market.. now dont get me wrong... this isnt ur ultra mod airconditioned place with diamante aunties and their lil ramu's carrying their bags and picking up green tomatoes and inedible bananas and where grapes seem just a bit larger than the avreage ones... this is the
messy,crowded, please-buy-ulakayangu-from-me kinda place... i dunno why.. its damn fun gooing to the market... once when my mum was outta town for a while and i paid a visit to "the market"(the latter one ,hich will be refered to "the market " hereafter...) i was complaining to my fruit-waali about the weather and how a bit of rain could do the veggies good.... she took me by surprise and said this:(in tamil of course) do u know nostradamus??? (me-huh???wats this new tamil word??.. and then 'bling'... the bulb glew above ... well... yeah...??kinda... i remember he was the bloke who sort of predicted the whole twin tower thingy)fruit-waali: well in his book he says there's gonna be super rain here!!! (gasp!!! the rain part of it i didnt care but my fruit-waali and nostradamus???i think i should visit the market more often!!!)

its really weird how we underestimate ppl and how lil incidents like this can bring us to the eal world.... which also makes me wonder how the guy peeing on the road has a color mobile and i somehow dont(bad comparison.. and i aint that despo anyways!!!) guess things are looking up!!

and it also makes me damn angry how my sister (angel from heaven above) gets away with evrything... i think i'm obsessive abt this whole youger one thingy coz things seemt o eventually boil down to it...

and of course i hate male chauvanits... the lot who sneer at u when u are at the steering wheel, hit ur bumper and show you 'the hand'(i guess u all know 'he hand'...in true madrasi splendour... complete with nonsensical mutterings...) but u know he came in thru the wrong side... and the house-owner(due to lack of any respect i shall call him 'this person') who looks at u up and down then wont answer very sensible questions you may ask about the house which 'this person' had advertised for in the paper and occasionaly asks :onga husban varaleya???.. dammit... he should've specified 'smart ladies not allowed' in his styupid add( we arent taking the house btw... who the hell would want to be a tenant to such an ass of a 'this person'????)

so they're everywhere.. these ppl whom we underestimate and worse thos ewho underestimate us... and they can spring up surprises(nasty at times) when u least expect!!!

the younger one...

have a long break till i get back to college again... thats something to be pleased about. but of course, i have to go out shopping and also koyakatai-making/eating day's around the corner so its about time i learnt how to make those pointy sweets properly at least this time... aaah arent they sinful?!!!
so wats this got to do with "the younger one"?well no prizes for guessing but i'm one... so that just gives me addditional things to blabber about... its a pain.. when i was young evryone would go wow! u r the younger sibling... hmm.. so u must be getting a lot of attention rite? back then it was so true and felt really nice... now.. hah! i BEG to differ...
besides been tossed around like a football(give it a thought.... u as a football.. insulting aint it?) and told to do this coz " i'm elder i know"(aaaargh) and DONT DO THIS coz "i'm elder and i know"(eye- roll) i get my daily dose of how not nice i am...
and of course parents assume they know it all...

first day...

well well well!!!

college finally began and was nothing like wat i expected... as in they started teaching on the very first day!!! it was damn boring... and we had orientation today... 19 profs came and intoduced themselves(gasp) but we managed to kill time... the campus is great. Its really compact with trees and pathways leading evrywhere. B ut it sure is gonna take time to get around here. Its kinda confusing meandering from one block to the other. We first yrs have a block of our own. I dont think there's any major ragging as such. Or maybe its just yet to come?!!! bus takes arnd 1 and a half hrs so i guess i'll have to carry some music and reading material ,or, better zzzzz. whats better than a visit to neverland? and everyone seems to be brandishing a cell phone. no one gives a damn. the ban is all crap i guess! and we arent grouped dept wise.. we're all mixed up in difrent batches... i guess its to get to know evryone...
so thats abt it from the college front...
life otherwise is well, tiring. from the world: i dont get it! did they have to name a hurricane after a woman? katrina?? well that speaks a lot about wat gen "w" is upto these days!!
there isnt anything else happening i guess but i would like to finish on this note:

homer simpson: operator!!! gimme the number for 911!!!!!
lol!! can he be , ahem, smarter???!!!

ooo i forgot to mention... i had to tuck the headphones into my ears coz i couldnt hear a thing over the din of the bus!!! howzatt???!!!
