PEEPS!!!!!
sup y'all?? its been a loooooong time, i know.......... but believe me there was no way i could get near a computer.... frankly my college is a loser college.... i dont want to go into the details.... just let it be stated that it truly sucks. like, no sports for girls, for instance.... but thats mainly coz my branch is a different college all together from the engg block and so far has only 2 batches.... what to do?
anyway, the plus point is that i 've got an amazing class... all the guys and girls are really nice and some of them are basically like kids...lol...its fun. most of us are 17-18 yrs old... but there are these 5 guys who've done diploma courses, and 2 of them are past 20.... got a bit of a shock when i found out....lol....
i finally turned 18!!! very few people remembered to wish me tho....:(..... like MARYANN, my supposed best friend... but anyways, i celebrated in hostel and in class.... the class celebration was the best.... they all surprised me with a chocolate cream cake! it was awesome.... we celebrated it during lunch break, and everybody gave me a chocolate facial...LOL! it was a really fun day.... reminded me of all the fun we used to have back in school... giving surprise parties to everyone.... beena's was always the best... we surprised her 2 years in a row! haha....
the guys in my class call me aanakutty or kuruvikoodu(this is reference to my short and very bouncy, messy hair).... actually everyone's got a nickname in class... it was an assignment given to one of the guys by the seniors... our seniors are pretty cool... they were strict in the beginning but are easing up on us now... we're having our Freshers Party soon(hopefully)....
my course is really fun too,other than the fact that we have to study math, which is a subject almost everybody fails. thankfully i'll only have it for the 1st sem, unless i dont pass it the first time....God help... my other subjects are history of architecture, art appreciation, computers(AUTOCAD), architectural drawing-1, basic design and, materials and construction. sounds funny doesnt it.... actually now i feel weird when i hear engg students say that they gotta study phys, chem and math and all that boring stuff( sorry all u engg peeps... this is just my opinion)
there's such a lot of drawing involved.... most of us are down with back aches, stiff necks and sore feet cuz we're standing over our drawing boards most of the time. me not so much cuz i take a break every 5-10 minutes and walk around talking to my classmates on the pretext of asking a doubt or looking for my eraser which someone always borrows without telling me, which means i have to go to every table and whisper, "did u take my rubber?".... u know,that actually sounds kind of sick...lol...
yeah well.... now that i'm back home, i'm missing my friends... i dont like being back in kerala, mainly cuz the minute i step foot back in my homeland i start itching...lol...i have this weird allergic reaction to this place.... its not mosquitoes...i just get these weird rashes... and besides i have to stay with my very young cousins, who are always fighting and shouting and insulting each other and after a while one cant help but get pissed off... mahn... its funny how i realised just how much i had missed being in the company of my peers for the four months that i had stayed in kerala. the only thing i dont miss about hostel is the food...i swear that stuff is shit...it seriously sucks...
anyways, thats all i have for the moment... i'll log in later, maybe tomorrow....
peace out y'all...

Long Time, No Blog!
heya peeps...
sooo sorry that I havent written in here for so long. somehow i just didnt feel like it.
a lot has happened in the past one month. namely that my parents left, i cut my hair short again, and that i am very nearly bankrupt. boo hoo....
this is the first time that i have ever become bankrupt. and its mainly 'coz i spent a lot on my cousins and my sister...so all for a good cause. my college call letter hasnt arrived yet. no worries though... management says i'm definitely in.
lately, i've been feeling lonely. i wish my friends were around. now i cant even call anyone because my call credit is very very low. bummer. thank God for the internet. i would be so outta touch otherwise. lol...
its funny how when i lie down to sleep, i get good topics to write about, but when i sit in front of the computer i cant think of a thing..... lol....
yesterday, Arun and I had a very nice chat. he also read my poems and I guess he really liked them. he even compared me to Arundhati Roy!! well, i never read AR, despite the fact that my Grandfather has the book... but still!! she did win the booker prize! (it WAS the Booker, right?) anyways....
i wish that i could fly. at least that way i could go whereever i wanted and nobody could control me... lol... but we all know that will never happen... anyways, it got me thinking of a poem i had written aroung 3 years ago... it goes like this...

THE RESTLESS SPIRIT
This day seems completely lacking
In a certain degree of slacking
O! woe to the tumbling tide
It cannot its pattern decide.
O! woe to the mechanical clock
Which cannot decipher tick from tock
O! woe to the swinging pendulum
It doesnt know peace from pandemonium
Doesnt it seem completely absurd
Confusion just isnt a word?
O! woe to the earth on its axis
It doesnt know death from taxes
(But what do humans know anyway?)
I'd take on Hercules any day...
I'm happy I'm not a puny ant
I wouldnt be able o even stop and pant
And what use is a whole lot of teaching?
Students dont listen to preaching!
How can the moon replace the sun
When it wasnt told to, by anyone?
Why do plants leap up from the ground
If only to die- wilted and bowed?
It's better I dont waste time and wonder
Why i cant sit still any longer...
its a bit immature. but i still kinda like it. i must have been in the 9th or 8th grade when i wrote this...dont really remember. anyways, i'll stop for the mo'. i gotta check out and print some info for my cousins. they have these projects and I have to do the research...

hola!
finally! i get to update my blog again! yesterday, try as i might, this computer would not allow me access to my hotmail, orkut and blogger account. imagine how frustrating that was... anyways, i'm finally here so let me update y'all on all the recent events in my life.
as i had previously written, my dad was due to arrive as was the latest Harry Potter. By God's grace my dad arrived safe and sound, albeit a bit tired. but that is only to be expected. he also brought me a few gifts. the first being chocolate(ahh...how i had missed CHOCOLATE...from Riyadh... nothing like 'em) and the other being my very own digital camera! YAY!! a digi cam was one of the few advances in technology that i had kept asking him to get, since our old camera is from the 19th century... lol..just kidding... but that camera is as old as ME, and Earth has come a long way these last 17 years.
i also got my HP copy. and it was fabulous. the plot of this book is one of the most complicated I have ever read. all the questions that were left hanging in the last coupla books are finally answered. questions such as 'who is R.A.B?' or 'Is Severus Snape a good guy/bad guy' and the big one - 'why did Dumbledore trust Snape?'. and the answers were marvelous. at least,I think so.Sagar doesnt think so and he said as much in his last comment here. but i on the other and more heavier hand, think that the book was simply awesome.
most of my friends are now in their respective colleges. Shilpa called me just yesterday and told me about her seniors and the way they boss them around and give them all these rules to follow. apparently the ragging is state-wise. like, senior mallus rag junior mallus and such. in NIT Trichy on the other hand, the ragging is NRI-NRI based. the Tamilians dont bother with NRI's much. funny how each place has its own ragging rules? i wonder what my college will be like? i guess i'll know in a week or two. Lord...
i guess thats pretty much it for the mo'.
laters, all.

A Day With A Slight Difference
hola dear blog readers!
today is a special day for me. my dad is coming back from Riyadh. it will be the first time that i've seen him in 3 months. its unbelievable how time flies. i cant believe i've been here for almost four months and my mum and sis have been here for a whole month. and i havent done anything worthwhile or of note, except maybe start this blog. but since none of my family, except Yvonne, my sister(and she says she doesnt see the point of a blog), knows that i have one, i guess it doesnt really count. but i really enjoy this, nevertheless...
what else.... i guess u all know that the next Harry Potter book will be out tomorrow....i cant wait to get my hands on my copy. by this time tomorrow, i will probably be halfway through it! depending on what time i get it, of course. lol... reading has always been my first love. i guess i can honestly say that there is no better companion than a good book. and i expect this next book to be AWESOME, not just good. i have all the other HP books with the exception of Half-Blood Prince. dang it... i cant believe this book is gonna cost me nearly a thousand rupees... but i'm also getting 2 educatonal cd's with it. one Brittanica cd and one Oxford Talking Dictionary cd. i thought it would be useful for my sis. i really hope its worth it.
i talked to my uncle Dani today and i asked him what he was going to name the baby. after all, we cant just go around calling him 'the baby'. he told me he hadnt totally decided just yet but he would most probably name him Denzel. i'm psyched! i had actually thought about suggesting just that name to him, among a couple of others. another thing about me is that i like naming people. i have this strange affinity for cool, classic and christian names.
oh, before i forget... i want to thank my cousin Bobby for commenting on my previous blog. one thing i like about Bobby is that he's one of the very few people i know who can take my sarcasm and give it right back at me. for some very weird reason i cant stand people who are overly nice to me. i dont mean that i like rude, insensitive, snobby brats. but i just cant stand sugar-dripping. i hate it when a person is trying to be fake with me or lie to me. it really puts my guard up. usually when people are that nice to you, it means that they want something.
a lot of my friends are leaving to their respective colleges today. Beena's going to attend Vimla Women's College, Thrissur. Nimisha's off to NIT Nagpur, Geslin and Sharika are off to NIT Trichy and Shadia is gonna be at NIT, Allahabad. oh, and Anto and the other Dammamies who got into NIT Calicut are going too... thats quite a lot of people!
wow... so all the best, u guys... its been so awesome studyin with you or playing and chillin with y'all. what a ride we had together, eh? and now we're all going our separate directions, on different rides, hoping that we'll end up at the various destination we're aspiring to get to.
take care and God bless..
peace out..

Good News And Sad News
hello all....
the good news is this: as of yesterday, i have a new baby cousin!!! YAY!!! remember i had written that one of my aunts was expecting? and i hoped it was a boy? well...it is!! a boy, i mean. lol.... my uncle Dani is as proud as punch. his first son, Damien, is already quite protective of the baby. he calls it 'Damien's baby' and when the baby cries, he admonishes it by saying,'Keep quiet! Sit down!', a phrase he learnt in nursery school.... LOL! isnt that just the cutest thing??? i really wish that i could see the new baby( he hasnt been named yet) and Damien, too. Damien is the cutest lil' kid!!! but they live all the way in bangalore and i am here in kerala. and i cant go because my dad is arriving from riyadh in 3 days and i have to shove off to college by next week!!! Daym!
well...now the sad news.... shilpa has left for NIT Warangal, today. she called me frm the train station to say goodbye. i cant believe she's gone!!! gosh... i feel miserable about the fact that i may never see her again. she's one of the bestest best friends i ever had. and she still is... and now she's gone off to warangal!!!! boo hoo...sob!!! this is a very sad day.....
i was watching the movie Kate & Leopold when she called. K&L is a really good movie as far as romantic movies go. its fun, its sweet and its romantic without going over the top. i think every girl should go out with a Leopold, at least once in her life. i wish i could. but maybe i'm biased because Hugh Jackman played the part( which he does magnificently) and i have had a crush on him FOREVER.... *sigh*.
oooooo....shilpa just called me... her train is late. so she isnt gone just yet... but i guess its inevitable... this is the conundrum called life. sheen, who has been my best friend since God only knows when(and who is in australia now), says that going away to college is an experience i should embrace to start over. i now have the opportunity to live life as i see fit. to make aquaintances with people i have never laid eyes on and who could be an integral part of the next 5 years and possibly, the rest of my life! which is all true. and well and good. but leaving friends is just painful...
last night, i couldnt sleep. so i took up my slam book and started reading. almost all my friends have written in there. shilpa's page was a bit stuck. i told her to make it as colrful and bright as possible, so i would never forget the bright and colorful person she is. therefore, she wrote the most glittery entry there is. she glued multicolored moon sequins to one side of the whole page and practically sprayed the 2 pages with pink glue glitter... definitely unforgettable... lol...
well...nothing else to pen...or type... so i'll be shoving off now...
ciao.....

I Hate Having More Time Than I Know What To Do With
well..... right now my title has no connection with what i'm going to say.... i gotta run..... i forgot about posting until the last moment(i'm in a cafe right now and i gotta go home) and i thought it would be a shame to let down my readers(namely, sagar)(i'm only saying this coz he's the only one who's commented in the last 5 days) (sagar, this doesnt mean u should stop commenting)(lol).... i know shilpa would comment if she's reading...she always does....
well nothing much happened today. i had to wake up early, to go to breakfast at my grandmother's cousin's place, which wasnt really a fun thing for me, considering that there were only old people there. i only went to spare my mother the shame of saying that her daughter is a late sleeper, which seems to be a big crime in these parts.
o man. i was going to go home. and now its raining. my grandmother will kill me for not coming back sooner. my mom just called asking whether she should come with an umbrella or not. i said that it wasnt necessary. lol... now i can stay till the rain fades...yippee!
o damn. rain just stopped.
anyways...as i was saying. after we came back from a very not- so- satisfying breakfast, my grandfatehr asked me to wipe down his car(its a ford ikon)(he loves it waaay too much), which i do as a dutiful granddaughter should, albeit reluctantly. and then he asks my sister to clean out the garage.... and my head goes "HAAALLELUIAH!!!" believe me..she got the worse of the job. that old car shed is the housing colony of various creepy-crawlies. predominantly, spiders. yeuch! it is also inhabited by roaches, grasshoppers and other slimy, winged and six-legged creatures. i nearly laughed out loud at the look on evie's face... but then i realised what a bad situation it was and pitied her.
anyways after that we had visitors....this newly married couple. the guy is my 2nd cousin, apparently. its funny how many relatives i have that i dont even know about. and ones who live just behind my house, that too. can u imagine? its mostly 2nd cousins, though. my granparents have(and had) a helllotta siblings. how did their parents manage in those times???
and then of course i came online...well thats it for now...i have to scoot back home. i wonder if i have enough cash with me.... ahh well.....
