Why do Weekends Whiz Past??? :((

Weekends.....they never seem to come and when they do they just whoosh by. I was looking forward to put my feet up and take a break after a week of the dog's life. Alas!! That was an ill-fated wish.....It was announced in that unsparing college of mine that we had college on Saturday.Have you heard of anything more unfair?? I somehow tolerated the day, cursing the college, lamenting my fate and eagerly waiting for Sunday to get there. And Sunday was sunnier. I woke up very late in the moning and was happy to see that my dad was home from Chennai. I completed my morning chores, switched on the computer, listened to some of my favourite songs, read some blogs and then posted one. I had not planned a laid back Sunday for I had too much of work to be completed - tests in two subjects, two records, one observation and three assignments to complete, but then isn't the fun in having lots to do and not doing it?? So, I just had a lazy afternoon with no thoughts about Monday morning. Then, I had my bath at 4.00 and my lunch at 5.00. I went to the terrace after that, counted the number of birds returing to their nests :P, loafed around and then returned home. The evening was drawing to a mellow close and I thought of dropping a post :D....Now its 8 p.m., and I shudder to think of tomorrow. My Monday morning blues have already begun and I am not looking forward to spending a sleepless night. Now, I have to go complete the whole load of hoeworks....So long then!!!

SURPRISE!!!!!!

Physics and Piety???!!!

Hmm....you know what the name 'Sujatha' means?? It means 'beauty' or 'beyond grasp - as in transcendent'. My Physics lecturer goes by that name. She is indeed 'beyond grasp'.....we have to listen with atmost concentration to grasp what she says and does. And this was what she did in class on Friday - no.....I would better start from Thursday....Our class was boisterous when she entered. That made her already ever-bad mood worse, if that is possible. She said that we would 'get first prize for talking'. Friday was a dead ringer of Thursday. Only this time she asked us "What did I 'SAY' you yesterday? I 'said' you that you will come first in......" The guys shouted " Mam....placements", "Mam....studies"etc....etc...And she gave us a baleful stare. She turned to the board looking foreboding. She had to vent her spleen on someone, din't she?? So, she faced us again, searched our faces and decided on a boy...." last benchla corner paiyan.....neendhan.... chandana pottu azhaga....ezhundhurupa." Every person in class had tears in their eyes due to supressed laughter. He got up and she continued, " Naa en nethiyila Kunkumam vekkaraen theriyuma??" (Now.....how did he propose to answer that??!!!!!!!) So, he just stood and blinked. "Because I am married!!" (What were we supposed to do with that piece of info.??!!)

" Nee en chandanam vechurukkanu naan sollatumma?? Because you want to hide your true self from others. You want to project yourself as a very good and calm boy. But you cant fool ME.
Enakku ungala pathi nallave theriyum. Indha Veebudhi, chandanam ellam verum show." (I touched my forehead at once to check if Veebudhi was still there...and my friend informed me that it was gone. We looked at each other carefully and burst out into silent giggles) The boy looked very pitiful and atlast she asked him to sit. All of us heaved a collective sigh of relief as the period ended. And the whole class burst out laughing as she went out.

P.S:

I am generally not in the habit of insulting teachers. But then, if I am going to have such teachers then I dont think that I can help myself.

Brother bother!!!!!!!

As i sit down to type this post i am thinking of all those fortunate people out there who are leading a peaceful life with no younger siblings. I was just poked in my eyes by my younger brother ' The Villianous Vishnu a.k.a. Vignesh'. And did he feel atleast a bit sorry that he hurt me???!!! NO. He just turned back, shouted "serves you right", glared at me with a look that said 'next time you ask me the computer while i am working with it, you will see what happens'. The COMPUTER - that's the root cause of the problem. I had had him packed off yesterday when he was playing 'Little Fighter 2' because i had an important mail to send to my dad. And then i had refused to get up as Nithya had come home and we had commenced our daily research for Kurukshetra. Ha......here he comes....uh....maybe to apologize for hurting me. Hmm...I am waiting.....NO....He has come to check if my mom is asleep (sigh). Ha....he has switched on the television, to see Harry Potter I suppose (hehehe......moms going to be furious). Now.....i dint tell why he poked me, did I? It was because he had to send some important mail to my cousin and I refused to budge. But then this happens everyday. You will never guess what happens everynight!! He is always in his 'pest' behaviour. We fight even when we are asleep. He discards his bed-covers, kicks me and comes and sleeps under me. And what am I suppose to do?? Keep Quiet!!!!!!!!!!!! Nowadays, I have started pinching him (Hahaa...that serves him right!!). I think I would better stop now else people will come to know how childish elder ones can be too :D. I would better go and console that ghastly brother of mine. He is sitting with such a sorry face that it breaks my heart to see him (huh....senti). But then, I dont know what I would do without him. Life would be a dead bore sans his pestering, his copying my Y! avatar or my user-ID or my password : He has promised me that he would start with blogging too and would have more number of posts than I do!!!! Here he comes again....I am sure to snatch the PC from me (sigh)....k.....gtg....bye!!!

Off To The Land Of Nod............

My EMM(Engineering Metals and Metallurgy) professor started his class as ususal with : There are three things that must always be open......the umberlla, the parachute and last but not the least, your MIND. Then we embarked on the process of learning about different metals, their alloys....etcetera.....etcetera (phew...thats tough!!!) with an OPEN mind. And what a process!!! The lights went off, the speed of the fans was increased and the projector was switched on. The room had a semblance of a theatre. The power point presentation began accompanied by our teacher's explanations wherever necessry. After fifteen minutes, his voice dimmed a bit and his words became obscure. And I thought "Oh....no! The sandman is getting me!!!" I started to feel as though a bunch of bananas have been hung to my eyelids. Some ten minutes later, the force of gravity acted strongly on my head.....that sudden jerk woke me up (sigh.....that was a nice dream) and the siren (thats our college bell) went off. I thanked heavens not because the class was finally over but because i slept through it without being caught. So much for an OPEN MIND!!!!!

I ONLY WISH I COULD DO THIS
