TGIF .... 2

Thank God It's Friday

Phew this is one of the fastest weeks that I have ever experienced. Last week I was excited about Sivaji the movie. This week, I feel I am going to start lamenting if I don't get my dad to agree to take us out for the movie.

Everywhere I turn, people ask me one question - "Saw Sivaji ?"

There are people who have seen the movie already 3 or 4 times, and still can't get enough. Well, if I am brooding over the fact that I can't get to watch the movie.... oh damn, leave it !!

Yesterday I was seeing the pictures that I took on my last day of college. I was missing all the fun that I had with my closest bunch of gals. We had our share of hiccups, grunts and growls. But the giggles that we shared can be never forgotten. I am waiting for my next chance to catch up with them.

Well, what's up with you people? What have you planned for the weekend?

Lock Your Keypad



"have done... Check under the pillow..."

"not there na"

"But that's where I put it"

???????????????

* Cut the call *


"Uncle.... oru sambar rice (amidst the background sound of a noisy college canteen)"

????????????????

* Cut the call*


----------------------------------------------------


Your mobile rings, with your friend's name flashing on the screen... you pick up the call and say "hello". But your friend doesn't respond. Instead, you hear anonymous sounds and voices. Ooops... she did it again.

Yet another instance where your friend hasn't locked the keypad of her mobile phone, and mysteriously, at the mysterious push of a mysterious button, a mysterious call comes to you. You answer it and find yourself listening to a mysterious conversation. *cut that call*

Well getting such phone calls maybe entertaining... It solely depends upon whats happening on the other end. Sometimes it makes your imagination soar. It could be your friend talking to a special someone (hey I am not eavesdropping, trust me !) Or what if her mobile phone was stolen/ lost/misplaced, and whoever has found its, is unable to handle it (That's a reasonable concern worth imagining)

My concern is - you burn a hole in your mobile phone bills, by failing to lock your keypad !!!

And also, do be warned... you may be talking about someone or something and you accidentally press the call button, and your phone connects to somebody else. It leaves you in a situation where someone is listening to your private conversation.

You are not going to lose anything by consciously locking your keypad every time after you use your phone. If you are so absent minded, consider using your phone settings to set to an automatic lock after... say..10 secs ??? I hope that serves the purpose.

If you find yourself reading this post and nodding your head at the same time, acknowledging the fact that you do receive such phone calls.... Then please for heaven sake talk to your friend and ask him/ her to do the needful - "LOCK THE KEYPAD"


*Trrriiinngggggggggg*

oh nooooooo..... not again !

Monday Madness


"Hmmm, a little more... just a little bit more... keep it steady... yeah.. just a feet more... keep going... you are almost there.... just an inch more... YOU DID IT !"

Well that was the motivating feedback my mom was giving me as I practiced my asanas in the late evening hours. I was practising "halasana" - the plow posture. Today I performed this asana with absolutely no assistance from my mom. This particular asana gave me the creeps when I attempted it for the first time. (Well the picture illustrates the posture, and the gal in the pic is......... definitely not me :P)

"One wrong move, and you can fracture your neck. Some even end up in coma" -was the word of caution given to me by my yoga instructor a month ago. We literally had to struggle everytime I practised it, most of the time I would end up coughing and gasping for air, and look like a chicken which has just escaped a butcher's strangling grasp.

Today, I dunno from where I got that magic push, I successfully lifted my legs and hips above the ground, supporting myself on my neck and shoulders and lowered it over my head, with my feet touching the ground. And then I slowly straightened my knees, and took deep breaths... enjoying the victorious move. I did it atlast !

Looks like no more Monday Blues for me. Thank You God for this wonderful gift of Yoga !

TGIF series... 1

Thank God It's Friday

Today we had a pleasant weather. I wanted to go on a loooooooooooong stroll. Or maybe a long drive. But i had something to jitter about...

Sivaji - The BOSS, starring Super Star Rajinikanth released exactly a week back on 15th June. It was the most awaited releases of the year, I consider it as one of the most awaited releases of the Tamil film industry.

Worldwide releases on the same day
Staggering Box office figures
Fans going crazy

Oh this Man is a sensation.

Sivaji is one of the movies that I have wanted to watch very badly. And I am unlucky in that matter. I havent got a chance yet. Everywhere its running housefull shows. The reviews say that the story lacks logic. But I am waitng to see the movie just for the crazy humour filled dialogues and the amazing songs.

I had lot of expectations for "Adhiradee" " Oru Koodai Sunlight" and " Sahana Saaral". I managed to get glimpses of "Adhiradee" and " Sahana Saaral". I am very much impressed with the picturization. I am still wondering about the " Oru Koodai Sunlight" song.

Ohh I hope I get to see the movie pretty soon. Wish me good luck.

Well tomorrow is an off for me, and hence I can say TGIF. Looking forward to spend my weekend with my folks. I missed a classmate's wedding today. And I asm sure my friends are cursing me for that. Will have to pacify them when we meet.

Okies. its dinner time now, GTG

Ssshhh.. I am working

Well my lil bro maggi had commented on my previous blog saying that my productivity at work is low.

What to do maggi... Well you see, today I woke up early morning to witness Chennai getting drenched in beautiful pouring rain. I reached office at 35 minutes past 10 am, thanks to extreme traffic jam(You know right, rains worsen the traffic conditions). My dad was unable to take the car out of our apartment and get on to the main road for nearly 15 mins !

And as I work on my assignments, I can hear constant honking of the vehicles on the main road. I have been glancing out of the window every now and then to see if the situation has improved... No way. Everybody are buying a vehicle left and right. So the traffic is bound to increase.

With all this noise, how can a small girl like me (ahem.. you told me to grow up maggi) do my work properly and increase my productivity??

So help this small girl. Consider putting off your vehicle purchase. Carpool.. use public transport, hitchhike.. walk... all this will not only help me increase my productivity, but will also help worsen universal concern like global warming, pollution. bla bla bla

Any comments??? ;)

Am I becoming an addict ??

CoFFee.. inTerNet.. tV.. bOOks.. GaMiNg.....

There is no end to the list of things that people can get addicted to . My list includes
  • Surfing
  • Orkutting
  • SMSing
  • YM, Gtalk...
  • Thinking ???
  • ....... and it goes on
Yeah I do think a lot.. often mistaken to be dreaming. Well whatever. What I wanted to say is, ohh God I really feel guilty that I missed my morning yoga routine :(

Its a usual one hour routine (initially I used to feel, how on earth I am going to endure it). Today I nearly missed it. As soon as I reached home from work, all that was on my mind was to do yoga. do yoga..do yoga...

Becoming an addict isn't bad after all . I just finished my day's session, and trust me, it feels absolutely great. My appeal to anyone who has been considering learning yoga for a while, please do join a course asap. Find a good instructor. Learn the positions for the asanas well. It's worth the effort you take.

Well.. we were talking about addictions, weren't we?
Yeah.. I think someone pinged me on YM....

I met IT

From Commerce to Communication.. throughout my educational journey, I never had the need to try my hand at the so called industry called Information Technology... but i guess I have landed atlast.

B'cos here I am trying to Digg and techcrunch all those Bits and Bytes about ERM and CRP...
Err... Forgive me. I meant to say ERP and CRM.. I wiki and google away most of my free time to read upon the basics of IT, the movers and the shakers.

As I retrospect some of my childhood memories, maybe I shouldn't have cursed my aunt who INSTRUCTED me to learn computers.

Now into the Corp Comm dept. of an IT company(which I chose myself wholeheartedly), I cant afford to remain ignorant anymore.

Ok then, in case I ping any of you with queries.... kindly clarify my doubts.. I will be grateful to you. Gotta go now. Will update you more on my trials and errors. TaTa....

Good Morning Rain

This is my 5th day at work... And my first ever experience in commuting to office on a rainy day. Thank God.... my workplace is quite OK with regards to timings... I battle the rain and somehow reach my destination , decently dry, and sans splashes of slush... splash of slush???? is this a tongue twister??


Well.. here I am , starting my work.. and I cant help looking out of the window.. I can see my school just on the opposite site of the road, from my seat... One day I will peep in.. just to see how my good ol' school has changed.
