Of Being Single and Mosquito bites

Being the only Single member of the sorority made me the 2 AM friend by default.

I have turned in to a  favorite rant destination for all the QLC undergoing junta,all the people having relationship problems(of all things under sun)

Ok! I dont have a problem with all these if only I have good network at home.I either have to sit in my room and shout at the top of my voice shocking my yester gen roommate or go out following the network like a hutch dog.I finally find a good spot where i get good signals,but then mosquitoes manage to reach there first and there are too many of them to even think of murdering them.So I sit on balcony wall covered head to toe in my silk duppata talking on phone listening to all kinds of problems I never even thought can exist till that moment and I can't even complain about my mosquito bites because QLC is supposed to be more painful than mosquito bites!! I have been through and am still going through QLC,So trust me mosquito bite pains more

My colleagues keep discussing and comparing their kids kindergarten teachers and syllabus and I have nothing but my own kindergarten experiences to match with.And in return I get 'Girl!! you are a Black and White Cinema looks' and I don't blame them considering its 20 years back.


I am expected to visit all the married cousins,aunts,uncles every weekend because I don't have an appendage and am free to go any where I want and not to forget all the match fixings and match makings they try to do :D

My PG sisters suggest 'The Great Indian Butterfly' when I want to watch a  feel good movie and tell me its about how a couple fight all the time because they don't get enough time for each other.I had to jump from my seat and tell them I so don't wanna watch it because this is what happens in my life day in and day out and before I realized what I said whole PG assumed I have a boy friend who doesn't give me enough time and they wouldn't believe when I tell them its my friends relationship problems I am talking about.So I have a fake boy friend now :D

Dear Blog

Dear not-so-active-blog,


Long time huh?!

 

Well, I was busy switching jobs,winning beauty pageants,oversleeping in trains,buses and chennai share autos,devising algos for ant behavior and group formation and never ending kadalai(read as threats and drama queen acts) with dell,bluedart and photon plus customer care...

Oh! I turned 24!!,it seems big and every enkamma,appalamma and venkata rao asks me about marriage plans now.

Most of the friends are busy shedding off their single status and being competitive person that i am, I dint want to to be left behind in the race.So i went ahead and fell head over heels in love with java.

My 7 year love-hate relationship with chennai is going to end very shortly and I am not as happy as i thought i would be.I am going to miss the cosuins who are a decade younger to me,yet give me company for ogling at cute guy posters,the paati in bus who sings Jinta Ta Ta for her scene putting toddler grand son,the adyar- guindy share auto which has the latest magazines,newpapers and a mini DVD player which plays all cute FB videos,mornings in Besi beach,friends i made here, vetha kozhambu,walking down the LB road to murugan library and chips shop,jigarthanda at Murugan idli joint in besi,29C,23C ,49M,my aunt's food and last but not the least,my house in vananthurai.For the first time in life I am not very excited about MOVING ON...

I started my 4th F.R.I.E.N.D.S marathon and this time I actually noticed their jewelery and phoebe has got an awesome collection...my mother will be shocked if she hears this...not because i missed them the last three times,because I am noticing jewelery finally...

I bought hitchhikers guide galaxy on flipkart and read it while traveling to office everyday in 29 C.there were days when i giggled so much in the bus and attracted the attention of maamis around.However I made mistake watching Eclipse and newmoon at a stretch after that and ended up dreaming about Edward cullen in a spaceship irritating the shit out of everyone..I hate that guy..i'ld prefer cedrick driggory any day...but my 15 year old cousins thinks he is not as manly as edward cullen..ugh kids these days!

ummm hmmm...now that we are done catching up,I ll go enjoy the drizzle on office terrace.

Sincerely,
I have loads to write,but not sure where to start.

P.S:if you are in mood for little punctuation exercise,Please go ahead ,edit the post and drop me a mail :P

Work and ThermoD

Curious Brain : wonder y it takes such a STRONG will to "get to work" ...and absolutely NOTHING to "get away" from it!! :O

Funny Face : getting away from work is a spontaneous and entropy increasing process,so it doesnt require any ext force! ,whereas working n using brain is a non-spontaneous and entropy reducing....so u need a strong force for this process to kickstart n go on..

Curious Brain : :bow

Of emotions

Its strange how two opposite emotions dont cancel out each other and how they happily co-exist only to drive you crazy. :|

And I thought I can relate everything in life to Laws of science -:|

Askers n Guessers

Some people ask for what they want even if they think the answer might be no and other people don't ask for anything unless they know the answer will be yes. 


The first category are the Askers and later category are the Guessers!


How I wish our customers are guessers,Managers are askers when it comes to the customers and guessers when it comes to us.
How I wish I am an asker.
How I wish I can say NO to all the askers in the world without feeling guilty about it *sigh* *sigh*


P.S : I know all I do  these days is Whine and Dine .....Though the former didnt change any dimension of my life,the later did help me grow in XY plane with change in 4th dimension. I am not so stuck after all *wink*
Note to self:Weekend work is hazardous to health..Health of my blog readers by the way
