Music : Dixie Chicks : Not Ready To Make Nice
Was talking to a colleague at work today.General discussion going on and at one point she was like, if she wasnt commited, she would have picked me. Was rather surprised.Long time since anyone said something nice to me, wht with ppl either telling me I look butt ugly, or picking up stuff from school to put me down.
The second thing had me rather upset for a bit. Being made fun of by a teacher in front of a while class ....never mind.But this one off hand remark, most prob not meant...has got me out of the dep :)
The first point also hurts, but wth. It isnt something I worry about too much.
But then the other thing was almost like..it made everything I have done since then, where I was and where I have come now seem pointless.Achievements screwed.
Never mind. Going back to sleep and praying for those in Mumbai.

Back to Blogspot :)
Music : The Wallflowers:How Good Can It Get
Back to blogspot from livejournal.After the last fiasco, I decided that I would not really give a shit if anyone had issues with my blog anymore. Hence the change back and the new template for the blog :) The main reason why I cam back to blogspot is the template can be changed as much as I want to. Gonna start learing to code in TCL properly in some time.
Among other things have shifted completely to Linux. Using the latest release of Ubuntu and in the spirit of all things *NIX, writing this post on GVIM editor...Nothing like notepad being used. Maybe later to add the html tags I will use the OpenOffice version of word, but for now its all :wq style. GVIM is a more friendly version of Vi. Not that most of you would know or use either. I kind like the vi editor since I work with it all day. Simply put, with a few keyboard shortcuts, the mouse use is minimised drastically. Though GVIM is taking some getting used to. Vi is different to use.So using vi with terminal now.
Enough of that :D
Got back some twenty minutes ago.Was out with my orkut-ster friend Bharat and another friend of his.Went to his office and played cricket on the terrace. Was fun.Especially since the open terrace was the bowling area and the batsman stands at the entrance to the terrace which is a small room of sorts. Was good fun including the two occasions the ball fell into the houses on either side and the few where it fell down the stairs into the house below :)
Going for Imsai Arasan now....One movie with Vadivelu as the hero..should be good fun :)
Back from the movie. Was quite a bit of fun. At the right moments, just as the movie would get serious the jokes would flow. And some of the names were hilarious. Like this poet who is called Vanaputra Onandi. And a new word called "Dariyal". Which is supposed to mean something like broken.And which I suppose will gain popularity as more people watch the movie. The movie is very likely to be a hit.
On the whole was a good movie, except for a bit of language chauvinism at the end, but that would be playing to the masses. One good scene is where the twins are united and an old man says that he foresaw it. When asked how, he (in an aside to the audience only) says that if there are seperated twins, how else can a movie go...another is at the end where along with Kattabomman, Vadivelu asks people to be inspred by Braveheart Mel Gibson. Most ppl dint get the connection..is that all the ppl he talks about fought the British :D
Had been to one of my class type's wedding out of town. We went as a class, as many as we could get. I forgot and realised over again, how much politics are there in the small class of 33 we are in. The oter gang acted decidedly cheap and were not communicative at all, when they could have just said something out and that would have been done. But somethings they did later was really cheap and pissed me off totally.Along with some stuff one of them said. Completely fucked up. I regert actually going there together when we could have just taken our bikes along and gone and not botered at all.S says we will do it again and we will forget, but I doubt I will.This is one time too many. Among other shit, is the fact that the so called "A Section" - the other gang - have never ever seen it fit to come along with us whenever we invite them out. Nor have they ever made any attempt to go out with us. But they still talk to us and act nice. Which really pisses me off.
The two weeks the Bihari Lunch guy wasnt in town screwed my stomach up. I was eating the food from the office lunch caterers and had a ver bad experience. I dont understand how ppl eat that shit day in and day out and never complain.
The weekend following the wedding Scam, DJ, JR and I went to pondy. Landed there on Saturday night and realised that the booze shops were closed cos of the elections. Watched France play that night and then the next day got slodhed. KR had 3 beers and then tried a large Bacardi and *soda* :P bottoms up. At which point he went bonkers and tried a lot of stuff and went on and on in english. Scam just rolled over and slept. Finally KR got up and then the booze really hit him. On the way out, he threw up twice and then was conked out till we ended up at his place in Velachery.
The next day went to Superman Returns. Movie was pretty ok. A bit long, but ok on the whole. Brandon Routh was a pretty convincing Superman. Liked the movie.
Went shopping the day we went to Pondy with S. Picked up a pair of jeans and then *finally* got her a laptop bag she liked. Was with her for a while a day earlier and found out some stuff I hadnt known earlier. Was kina upset, but then she is one of my closest friends and kina sister as well. In case ur reading this... >:D<
Bought a pair of sneakers finally to replace my old walking shoes..Started walking in the morning again today :)
I missed you so much this morning. I dont think I will ever not miss you again. Its been 6 years since u left...and in those six years I've loved you the same.RIP >:D< . And I miss you too.
