<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ok dirty minds! I know what you are thinking.. All you buggers who is planning to read my full post just cos the title caught your attenion, stop getting so excited! This post is just another "venting out" tag. This post describes my extensive research on human behaviour when it comes to their delicate relationship between the finger and the horn on their bikes, scooties, cars, trucks and not to forget buses! Yes, my good ppl.. My study on the "Horn-o-logy".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When you start your bike in the morning, all you want to do is go to office/school/clg or wherever your destination is. Reaching the given place safely and in one piece cos of these roads and traffic is difficult, I do admit that. But going in peace is not at all possible. The very first "start the music" sound will be the HUGE blare of a bus horn. These bus drivers think they have the license to use the horn like ambulance drivers. The mere second any vehicle comes in front of them, they have to use that horn!! They just have to.. They wont even stop when you are out of their way. Its like them giving out a warning to all - "ey you idiots on the road! Drive in front of me and I will unleash this power of mine and thou shall go deaf. So mind it, I say!" Then we have these other impatient crowd who dont mind making that horn button cry.. Ok, I understand that you would like to go to your office in time! BUT DONT YOU GET IT THAT THE SIGNAL IS RED FOR YOU? According to them, they think that all these signals have feelings in them. So if they keep blaring the horn, the red signal will get irritated and will give way for green. Someone needs to tell them that listen, they are objects. Non living. Remember 1st std lessons. Non Living objects dont have feelings in them. So Stop it! And then, we have these "Hey,I am so cool-himesh reshammiya fans by default" gang. These buggers - They plug in their Fm/walkman phones and the world transforms for them. They dont use horn to give out a warning or to irrtate the red signal like the former kinds. They use the horn to feel good about themselves. They use the horn to be another himesh reshamiya in making. So this is how it works for them - They listen to a song and they use the only musical instrument available to them - Horn. The song goes - Aashiq banayaaaaa, The horn goes - pee pee, song - Aashiq banayaaaa, horn - pee pee, song - Aashiq banayaaaa aapneeee horn - peeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! (Pls note that the last notes is simultenously done at same time) You may not identify this kind of crowd so easily. They are a rare kind. (And I am so thankful for that!) But they do exist. Next time note it carefully when someone is blaring away to glory and is head banging slight a to the plugged in earphone in his ears. We also have another kind among us. But I really dont get angry on them so easily. These are the "I am sorry but I am learning driving now oly" kinds. If you come into a proximity of even 5 feet within them, they will get nervous and will start blaring! Some even shout out - Hey hey hey.. pathu pathu pathu.. careful careful careful! and you will be like what? who? why? dinosaur? earthquake? rakhi sawant?.....huh!oh! ok chill! Sometimes it get so worse that, I would feel like ripping out the wires from their vehicles and shoving it down to their throats... Now now now, pls dont think in a wrong way about me. I am not really such a violent person but what to do! Gandhigiri doesnt really work for this kind of situation!! :(</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">PS : This is my second post on driving! or the mere state of traffic on the road.. I realised it after typing away for a good deal of half hour. SO no I am not going to delete it. thou shall read it and comment too!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">PPS : It feels good to be back on this space :) I do hope some "teeny-weeny" percent of readers will still be interested to spare a comment or two. Not really promising to be the super regular kinds but wont dissapear again so easily either. Cheers!! </span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Na, my blog post is not about the song or how true it is (when it comes to my life!), in fact it’s quite the opposite! I didn’t update it as my status message on the social networking sites either. Unlike many people who had kept the first few lines as their status messages! In fact I downloaded the song and listened to it after seeing those messages only. (Don’t laugh at my ignorance! It happens!) When I listened to the song completely, the tune caught me. I was humming the song for few days but it never occurred to me to update it as my message! Yes, I do agree with the fact that couple of sentences in the song might be true in everyone’s life. Heck, my school bag used to be so heavy that it was used as weapon to hurl it at class guys who would tease me unnecessarily! I used to change the bleddy school bags regularly since they would tore apart regularly since they won’t be able to bear the weight of all the books. But apart from that, I am happy to say that other sentences were not so true. I was quite an average student at school. One who would happily do well and while away time at art classes, top in English, fail in maths (Yes! Students who fail in maths are considered as average, so don’t give such looks!) And pass in other subjects. I used to happily go play every evening and even morning during holidays (only time when I got up early in the morning!) Obviously it doesn’t mean that my parents didn’t pay attention to me at all. I scored quite decently during 10<sup>th</sup> boards and pretty well during 12<sup>th</sup> boards! I was given lot of freedom to take as much as co curricular activities I wanted to – Arts, Basket Ball, Martial arts, Music! All the credit goes to my parents only. But on the other hand, I sure would like to get a chance to grow up again. There are many things that I would like to change. My school life had never been a memorable one! Apart from few really good and long lasting friends and couple of teachers. I am a complete different person today. Now I wish that I should have been like this during my schooling period. Much more outspoken, not as boring as I was that time, not so dumb as I was at that time, lil bit more crazy as I am right now (Again let me clear the fact that being dumb and being crazy are 2 different characteristics!! :D) and happily enjoy all the moments! Well, I guess it was just a phase of life which is now over and there is absolutely no point in grumbling over it again. Yeah, yeah, I can see some of you out there raising an eyebrow and thinking then why the heck I took pain to write such a big post!! C’mon guys! It’s been ages since I updated my blog. I needed some topic right?! :P </span><span style="color: #ffd966; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Off late Google [read Third Empire] is playing a very vital role in decision making session of my family members. For example, last week all of us, including my Gundu mama and Yo Uncle (If you are wondering who are they, then please read <a href="http://thoorika.blogspot.com/2009/10/story-behind-yo-uncles-sheepish-smiles.html">this</a>. And ya, please don’t forget to comment! :D) were watching TV. Nothing great was on TV so I simply switched to a random music channel. A song started playing (unfortunately I don’t remember which one!) And suddenly my dad made a statement!<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">Dad : Hmmm.. It’s been really long since I listened to Hariharan song. Such a nice rendition by him.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">My mom gave him such a horrified look as if he told her that an alien from Pluto came to earth and gobbled up Hariharan as a revenge for removing its name from Planets list. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Recently two uncles of mine, has come down to spend some time with us. I am pretty fond of both of them. One of them is lovingly known as Gundu mama (Gundu means fat in Tamil!) Everyone calls him like that only. In fact, majority of our common friends don’t know his real name at all. And the second one has landed straight down from Dubai. Nowadays he is trying to differentiate between Kozhambu (Kudumbu in his words) and Sambhar and also between Podi (chilli gunpowder) and Maavu (batter used for making Idly and Dosai). Thus, you can see his expert knowledge in Tamil. But he is one super cool person! So let’s call him the “Yo” uncle! (I do hope they don’t read this post in near future!)</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; font-size: 130%; font-weight: bold;">This is all I was able to come up with for the Moonlight contest @ WL. I had to write something related to the following pic. So here you go :)</span><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MkL5IXkSHgU/SqzDM59sqzI/AAAAAAAABH8/LN59s6yeeGc/s1600-h/Moonlight_by_acidxmoose.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380890281286347570" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MkL5IXkSHgU/SqzDM59sqzI/AAAAAAAABH8/LN59s6yeeGc/s200/Moonlight_by_acidxmoose.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 200px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 194px;" /></a><br /></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; font-weight: bold; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">She saw the clock strike eleven and got up immediately from her bed! Then she started searching for her slippers in the darkness, trying not to make even a slightest sound. She can’t afford to let her mom know that she was trying to sneak out of the house. Tip toeing to the front door, she opened it quietly and crept outside. The darkness devoured her, making her quite similar to her shadow. At first, she took cautious tiny steps like an excited kid who is just learning to walk. Once she was far away from her home, she broke into one run. She can hear the big waves at the sea nearby, roaring away. She smiled to herself and headed in the direction of the beach. One can sense the excitement and happiness she is feeling at that moment, when she was heading towards her favorite place. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; font-weight: bold; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; font-weight: bold; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">Suddenly she stopped! She was speechless. The sight of the beautiful full moon caught her by surprise. Why surprise?! Because at that moment, she realized that her life is also so beautiful, just like that sight. The sight which showed the full moon playing hide and seek with the dark clouds! The clouds didn’t spoil the splendor of the moon in any way at all. Instead it created a mysterious aura around the moon. This made the moon look even more magnificent! She stood there silently, savouring the peace she felt, drinking in the beauty of the sky.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; font-weight: bold; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; font-weight: bold; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">Suddenly, someone gave her a warm hug from behind. Someone stood right behind her, whispering in her ears, “Hey beautiful”. This time she was not caught by surprise! Instead she turned and smiled at him. The same smile, which made him fall in love with her and which made him propose her. The same smile, which she gave him when she said “Yes”! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: white;">As she rested her head on his shoulders, she thought,</span> <span style="color: #66ffff;">“Yes, Life is very beautiful indeed” </span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">“How about a walk?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">She smiled warmly and replied, “Sure”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">Both of them started walking on the pavement. It was 10 in the night and the road was quiet. Neither of them spoke anything but the silence was not suffocating either. They enjoyed the silence and savoured each passing second, spent in each other’s company. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">It was cloudy, but they enjoyed the breeze. Suddenly the weather changed its mind and rain started pouring! She started running and took the shelter under the big banyan tree nearby. He started laughing and stood right there, enjoying the feeling of the raindrops on his face. She gave her warm smile again. He looked at her and suddenly saw something in her eyes. What was it? The same look of love, which he had in his eyes. For her!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">Both of them looked at each other, transfixed on the spot. He took a step towards her. She went a step back. He smiled and went near her. Slowly! Suddenly, she turned away, smiling to herself. He smiled and touched her tender hand. She shivered. Not because of the cold rain, but because of his warm and loving touch. Then she slowly faced him. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">Yes, he was right!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">He can see the love in her eyes. Love for him!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">He can see the desire in her eyes. The same desire, which he had!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">He can see the longing in her eyes. It didn’t hint any lust, but mere passion! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">“OK, CUT”, the director shouted, “Good Shot, both of you! I can almost feel the chemistry”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">The hero and the heroine smiled at the director and went to their respective chairs, while the spot boys cleaned up the so called “rain” on the set! </span></div>

<div align="center" style="color: #66ffff; font-family: georgia;">
<span style="color: #ff9900; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 130%;">He thought over his final decision again. </span></div>
<div align="center" style="color: #66ffff; font-family: georgia;">
<span style="color: #ff9900; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 130%;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" style="color: #66ffff; font-family: georgia;">
<span style="color: #ff9900; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 130%;">Then with a firm nod, he took the pen in his hand.</span></div>
<div align="center" style="color: #66ffff; font-family: georgia;">
<span style="color: #ff9900; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 130%;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" style="color: #66ffff; font-family: georgia;">
<span style="color: #ff9900; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 130%;">He looked at the paper in front of him and then finally, he signed inside the box.</span></div>
<div align="center" style="color: #66ffff; font-family: georgia;">

Moi best companion for now (If u don count Mafia wars @ FB)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Disclaimer : LONG post and it’s all about books. So pardon me if you find this post very boring !!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />Of late I am really very jobless. Another sign which reminds you that college life has come to an end. So am having ample time to nag all the people around me to the extent that they go mad and wonder why the hell my college got over..! Ever since college started I didn’t get the pleasure of reading any novels back to back, which I used to do when I was in school. My mom used to get so much irritated with that habit of mine that one day she threw all my books up at the loft. But she forgot that I used to have one big source called library at school. Fortunately mine was a good one. Being one of the bright students of the readers club at my school I was given 2 issue cards, which enabled the privileged to issue 4 books at the same time. So my happy soul used to issue 4 hardy boys collection and used to hide it between the big computer “C+” book. I never read that C+ book. Hate that subject. I still wonder how I passed in computer science. I still detest it. But that bloody subject still haunts me, cos now my sister is learning it at school and she comes to me with all scary doubts. Anyway this post is about the novels which I have finished in the past one week. So bookworms are welcome while the souls who use novels as pillow can close the window now itself. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have been trying out new authors. I have not heard about some of them at all. But since I have lots like that right now so thought that why not give them a shot !!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>My first one was THE BLUE HOUR by T.Jefferson Parker</b><br />Murder mystery. 2 detectives nab down a psychopathic serial killer, who abducts beautiful young women from the malls and kills them in one horrifying way.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Nice plot. The author wanted to develop a very different type of serial killings which he tried to do in this book. The book has couple of kickass one liners, which prompted me to use them while I was chatting with one of my friends. She got so surprised that she logged out abruptly without even telling me bye. I guess I scared her off :D </span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">At certain points, the author has given lots of technical details which will confuse you at times unless and until you are medical students. Such details lead to cooking up of biryani in the end, which is absolutely tasteless. You have to go back by few pages and read again to see what you have missed. But the climax was built nicely. You can almost feel the suspense.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bottomline : “OK” book, which you can read when you are really jobless like me.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div align="center">
<br />
<b>ABSOLUTE RAGE by Robert. K. Tanenbaum</b><br />A lawyer and detective (husband and wife duo) investigates their neighbor’s murder mystery and in the midst fights hard to protect their own family from the killers.</div>
<div align="justify">
<br />
Again nice plot. I loved the detective character, Marlene. Samma character. Even otherwise all the other characters sketched out in a nice way. All were given equal importance. Entire story was gripping.<br />
Lots of useless details were given. They were of no use at all at times. Got bored when such huge paragraphs in the name of conversations came up.</div>
<div align="center">
<br />
Bottomline : “Good” one. It won’t bore you.</div>
<div align="center">
<br />
<b>THE JOB by Douglas Kennedy</b><br />
One smart salesman finds himself a victim of downsizing and then grabs upon a job offered by one of his friends. Unfortunately that job definition includes murders, fraud, embezzlement and lots of trouble !!! How he comes out of all the trouble is the story.</div>
<div align="justify">
<br />
Now this guy can write !! If I remember this is the only book which I was not able to keep down at all, after Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code. I just wanted to finish it in one go. The book is very fast paced and you enjoy the pace also. The Times has described it as “A furiously paced, compulsive thriller” which is really true.</div>
<div align="justify">
<br />
His main character talks a lot !! Like my 4 year old cousin. At times you would like to shout out ”Will you stop thinking for a while and shut up?” But in the end, you will find yourself sympathizing with it when his wife leaves him. </div>
<div align="center">
<br />
Bottomline : “Brilliant” one. In fact I am going to try other books by this author.</div>
<div align="center">
<br />
<b>WISH YOU WELL by David Balcaddi</b></div>
<div align="center">
2 kids, aged 12 and 7 meets with one accident which marks their dad under dead and mother under paralyzed and in coma. So they go off to Virginia mountains to their great grandmother where they have to get up at 5 in the morning to help her out with all the chores. But the new town’s greed and justice brings the family in one difficult position. How they protect each other and how they stand up for the other is the story.</div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
This author is usually known for his suspense novels and this novel is his first attempt at a different beat. And I must say that it’s beautifully written. You will sail along with the flow of the story. Its written to the point. No useless dialogues. The characters and their feelings is sketched out beautifully</span><br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bottomline : I loved it !! Finished the 368 pages in 7 hours flat !!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>HORNET’S NEST by Patricia Cornwell</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Murder mystery again but never mind!! I was never able to go past 4 chapters. It’s beats even history books by making you feel sleepy.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Presently I am reading BEYOND YESTERDAY by Robert Wheeler. Kind of OK book but let me first finish it !!</span></div>
</div>

<div align="justify">

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Groan”<br />“Yawn”<br />“What?!<br />“What the !@#$%”<br />“aiyo”<br />“Hey bhagwan” </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Emotions that came out of different kinds of individuals when they came to know that the gate no has been shifted from 224 to 216. After some time, the temperature intensified to alarming rate when they discovered that the gate no has been shifted again from 216 to 116. Pleasant words were exchanged (sorry not exchanged, since it was only one way communication) between the airport authorities and the passengers. The lowes overflowed so much that authorities ears started bleeding.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />After finally settling inside, we patiently waited for the flight to take off.<br />15 mins … half hour.. 45 mins… one hour… 1hour and 15 mins… 1 and half hour.. 1hour and 45 mins and finally after 2 hours the pilot announced that they were ready to take off. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div align="justify">
<br />
Passing the time was not a big deal for me. 3 chinki guys were sitting next to me. They looked pretty professionals with all suits and ties dotted on. Would be in their early thirties. One was making planes out of the napkins provided to him, another was sticking the feedback forms over the first one’s head and the last one was trying to capture the art with his mobile camera. After one point they became so noisy that the airhostess came to them and made them do “finger on your lips”. Only after they got calls from their head office, they hushed down. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br />
Finally the plane took off and we were given menu cards and were asked to pick our choices. Totally there were 3 dishes and 2 of them were non veg. Yours sincerely, being one pure vegetarian asked for the only vegetarian dish – Avial curry. While I was waiting for my turn to come, one steward came and placed a plate in front of me. I gave him one quizzical look and asked him for avail curry. He told its Shavial. I thought he pronounced Avial as shavial and tried to correct him. </div>
<div align="center">
<br />
Avial?<br />Shavial mam!<br />Avial?<br />Shavial !!<br />No, I want the avail curry (Showing him the menu card)<br />Oh !! You didn’t ask for Shavial?<br />(Almost in tears!!) NO!!!<br />Oh!! Sorry mam!!! </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
I still don’t know what he meant by shavial.. ! Finally my Avial curry came and I happily scooped it in a spoon and placed it in my mouth. The minute I placed in my mouth, the colour of my face changed from turquoise blue to peacock green!! With the steward watching my reactions intently, I quietly kept the spoon down and gulped down water. In the end, I was very much contented with the bland coffee, dry bun and not so fresh fruits !! </span><br />
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The final blow came when the plane started shaking violently on air. Announcement was made by the pilot requesting us to put up our seat belts. After one point of time, one was able to hear “allaaaaaah” on my left side, “sai ram, sai ram, sai ram” chants on my right side and “oh lord!! jesus save us” at the back. Even the chinki guys were murmuring something. Though I tried to decipher what they were chatting but I was not able to understand. Amidst all these confusion, one fat guy was snoring away to glory. He got up only when his wife smacked his head!! First came a big roaring yawn and then only he understood the seriousness. Ultimate comedy was when the pilot warned us to gear up for a belly landing. The volume of the chants became louder and occasionally someone played along in the orchestra with sounds of burping and puking. We did have a rough landing. People even also got small bumps on head. Which looked like the bumps Tom cat gets in the Tom and Jerry cartoon series. People were walking like drunks when they were getting down from the plane. It was a complete circus!! </span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Thus an eventful day came to an end. The funny part was that I was so busy in observing others antics, that I forgot the seriousness of the situation at that time. The Funniest part was when one air hostess was busy watching me observing others and forgot her job and when she mentioned that when we were getting down. My reaction?! </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“:D”</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I kept running and running. But, slowly and silently. It shouldn’t hear us! Otherwise we are doomed. The little girl stopped. I looked back and urged her to run. She refused. I know that she is tired. We have been running for past 20 mins. Looking for a place to hide. Looking for a place to save our lives. I looked back. It was coming. I can sense it. It’s looking for us. Eager to catch us.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I looked around. Finally I saw one building. </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="color: #66ffff; font-family: georgia; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“C’mon girl. Run!”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“ I cant”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I just scooped her in my arms and dashed towards that building. Sensing my footsteps, it also followed. Panic gripped me.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We entered that building and I started searching for rooms with doors on it. But alas! It has already destroyed all the locks on it. How clever it has become. We stumbled upon something. It was the guy who helped us yesterday. Till yesterday he was alive. But today, no more than a lifeless disfigured body. I got used to it but I turned the face of the little one away. Again I heard it coming. We broke into a run again. Finally, we entered into one room. But there was no lock for this one also. I didn’t bother closing the door. It’s just too clever. I simply switched off the lights and pushed myself and her under the bed. </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="color: #66ffff; font-family: georgia; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It also entered the building. It looked for us.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="color: #66ffff; font-family: georgia; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Kept looking into each room.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="color: #66ffff; font-family: georgia; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Finally it came in front of our room.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="color: #66ffff; font-family: georgia; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And it stopped!</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="color: #66ffff; font-family: georgia; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It entered our room.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I waited for it to leave. We held our breaths. But I could listen to my heart hammering away so loudly that I feared that IT will hear it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It started it way out of our room. I could sense it hunger! His hunger for us! Its evil look! Finally it left. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She heaved a sigh of relief. NO! I mouthed. It heard us. It came back. I closed her mouth. I could see the fear in her eyes. She was able to see the same emotion in mine!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It came near the bed. We could see its legs. It stopped right beside the bed. I could sense that it’s looking around for the source of sound! FOR US! Then it bends down to see what’s under the bed! Slowly I saw it bending down and down and down and</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="color: #66ffff; font-family: georgia; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“WAKE UP! YOU ARE LATE FOR COLLEGE”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I woke up to see my mom bending down to wake me up. I got up and rubbed my eyes and looked around. </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="color: #66ffff; font-family: georgia; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Darn! It was a dream!</span></div>
<span style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 130%;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ffcc66; font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-weight: bold;">PS : "IT" is actually a dinosaur! but I wanted to leave it to your imagination! Nothing much of writing out here. Just felt like penning it down and so I did. Hope you enjoyed it :) Do tell me how is it written !! </span></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #66ffff;">“Order Order! Silence please!”</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">The court felt silent after hearing the judge’s order. The big guy smirked at the uproar caused in the court. He didn’t mind the curses that poor Ramu’s family spat out at him. He was simply smiling away to his glory. Smiling away to the fact that in sometime, Ramu’s land would be his! Only his! His evil grin clearly showed that the registration paper of the land, that he submitted was not authentic. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #66ffff;">But who cares!</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">As long as the case is in his favour.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">“Based on all the proofs, I hereby declare that the land does not belong to Ramu and he has been trying to deceive the law by submitting false registration papers” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">The smirk on the big guy’s face broke into one wide smile. Now he can build the big bungalow that his wife wished for on that land. All he cared was to fulfill his wife wishes. Her wish to build a bungalow on that very land. Just because their family astrologer told them that they will rise to a very superior position in their lives if they do so. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="color: #66ffff; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">He didn’t care for the tears of Ramu’s wife.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="color: #66ffff; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">He didn’t care for the pleas of Ramu’s aged mother.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #66ffff;">He didn’t care for the fact that they don’t have another place to live. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">He went home and told this good news to his wife. He asked her to choose a colour for the bungalow. She told him that she wants to paint it in peach. He called the famous engineers and interior decorators of town to build his bungalow. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="color: #66ffff; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">“I want the bungalow to be the grandest one in the whole town. Even bigger than the Gupta’s house. Understood?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #66ffff;">“Yes sir, don’t worry. It will be the one!”</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">The work started. After three months the work got over. He took his wife to the place after finishing was done. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="color: #66ffff; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">“How is it my dear?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="color: #66ffff; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">“Oh, it’s beautiful. We should call our pandit ji to fix up a date for pooja”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #66ffff;">“Don’t worry my dear. I will do it right away. You don’t worry about anything at all.”</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">The astrologer told them that fifteenth of the same month was a very auspicious date. So he started preparing for the pooja. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">The big guy’s wife made arrangements for a party as well in that house on that date. She wanted the whole town to know their joy. From the false papers to the party arrangements cost him a big fortune. But he did not worry about it. After all, it was for her. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">It was the fourteenth night and after checking out all the arrangements, they finally went to sleep. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">The next day morning they woke up with a start. The house was shaking very badly. The ground was rumbling. It was like as if they entered into the hell. He shouted for his servants but no one came. Everyone was panic to move from their places. The big guy’s wife clung to him in fear. They thought that they are going to die. After few minutes, things became normal. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="color: #66ffff; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">“What was that?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #66ffff;">“Pata nahin sahib” </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">Everyone chorused in fear.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">He looked around. He felt relieved. He was not hurt, neither was his wife. Who cared about the servants! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">He was not able to understand anything. He switched on the news. All the news channels were talking about the earthquake and their town which was the epicenter. He was changing the channels. Suddenly he stuck to one channel. His eyes widened. His hand trembled at the very sight shown on that news channel. He broke into a sweat. He was not able to believe the sight behind the reporter on the screen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="color: #66ffff; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">The remains of a big and new building.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ffcc66; font-family: georgia; font-family: georgia; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #66ffff; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The remains of a badly damaged peach colour bungalow.</span><span style="font-size: 130%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have been tagged again by <a href="http://nxgmobz.blogspot.com/">Karthik</a>. I guess my last post only would have made him tag me on this topic :P What I need to do is that I <span style="line-height: 115%;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">need to write about 6 funny unusual habits while watching/going for movie”</span></span></span></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />This tag is gonna difficult for me since I am not a movie buff. I do watch movies but mostly its downloaded ones. Lets see.... Hmmmm.... What was the last movie that I saw in theatre?! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... I know thats a really big one. But its quite difficult to think of the last one also. OK don't hate me for this but the last one was "Yaar Di Nee Mohini". Its a tamil flick. I remember there was no other good movie worth watching in theatre and all so I went for this one along with my family. I still remember how my dad stuck to the song "Oh baby...oh baby" and how my mom used to slap on her head whenever he started to hum this song :D I dont know whether I am doing justice to the tag but just typing down whatever comes to my mind when it comes to movies!<br /><br />1. You may find it funny but I am a person who starts feeling cold if the temperature drops even a little bit. So I usually take my jerkin along whenever I go for a movie. Even if its burning hot outside. If I am going with any of my friend or my mom, in some time they would be fighting with me for their dupatta. Since I would somehow snatch it from them to wrap myself with it :D I know its funny but anyway... Ok, stop laughing! By now, I am used to the stares that I get from people around me when they see me wearing a jerkin on a hot summer day!<br /><br />2. Very rarely I feel like going for a movie. So whenever I feel like that, I would make big plans and all with my friends and family. Exchange of SMS, conference calls, presuading my mom to go for a movie cos of some stupid reason, fighting with my friends that I wont go for a particular movie just because I dont like ajit and it would be a Ajit's fick. But you know what the outcome will be! Absolutely nothing! The movie plan will vanish in the thin air and I will forget about it. So mostly whenever I go for movies, it wont be planned at all. It would be like " Hey, lets go for a movie" and the next minute, I will be sitting in the theatre.<br /><br />3. This is a fun part. Usually this happens when I would have either seen the movie before itself or would have read something regarding it. Like The Harry Potter Series! Since I would read the book before watching the movie, I would irritate the person sitting next to me with the story line! I would tell them what the next scene would be, or would tell the dialogues or something like that. After one point, the person would be having a murderous look on her face! Which would be signal for me to shut up and save myself from the horrible consequences! :D<br /><br />4. The comments part! After all we have all the rights to talk out whatever we feel. Whether its a comment on the nearby couple who would be coochi cooing instead of watching the movie or the guys in the back who would try to act smart !! Which actually is not what it to be!! And when you have a company who can think of all slapstick comments then its nothing like that! In sometime, it would be a scene of "War of words" in the theatre.<br /><br />5. The translation part! This usually happens when I am accompanying friends who dont know hindi that well, to a hindi flick. I would have to play the role of translator. Now I am a person who is not so good in explaning. So by the time I search of words to explain the hindi punch dialogue, I would have missed the next few dialogues. And then I would be pestering my another friend to fill me up with what I have missed. By the time this happens for the umpteenth time, one could listen to the growling sounds made by the people sitting right around me. Achai ka tho zamana hi nahi raha!<br /><br />6.Paper rockets! I used to do it but dont do it anymore! In that darkness you will never know on whose head your paper rocket has landed! unless and until you get to hear a yelling " evan da ava? Padutha paru da. @#$@*%^$ "(I cant type the rest! Censor board doesnt approve it you see!) The best part is no one suspects you since you would be having the innocent looks on your faces! I Still remember the paper rockets that myself and Anu used in the movie" Vetiyadu vilayadu".<br /><br />Well, thats it! My tag is done. Now I would like to pass it to Anusha, Iyshwarya (Hope I got the spelling rite! :) I am expecting a long post on this) and <a href="http://padma-secrets.blogspot.com/">Padma</a>!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today when I came home from college, I was in a very low mood and the most irritating factor was that I didn't know why I was like that. Usually whenever I feel low, I will switch off all the lights in my room and listen to music. It helps me get out of the the low mood or depression. Today, decided to watch a movie alone, for a change. Which I usually don't do. I wanted to watch Wall E for a very long time and one of my good friends gave me the CD long back. So today I switched off the lights in my room, put on the head phones and watched the movie. Its such a cute and romantic movie. Though its a robot but still its cho adorable kinds! It was like one of the perfect movies in all sense. I know that the story line doesn't sound practical in any way. But you know what, ask your brain to not to think for some time and watch the movie. you will enjoy it to the core. Even the animation. It was so beautifully done. I mean just with the eyes (or whatever it is called in robots parts :P) the emotions were portrayed so beautifully. Anger, Happiness, Love, Despair, Fear - you can easily feel all the emotions simply by looking at the Wall - E's and Eve's eyes! The romantic angle between both the characters doesnt sound stupid when you sit through the whole movie till the end.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MkL5IXkSHgU/SU0A65M7HDI/AAAAAAAAATc/7iYmAXKTlaM/s1600-h/wall-e.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281878949762898994" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MkL5IXkSHgU/SU0A65M7HDI/AAAAAAAAATc/7iYmAXKTlaM/s320/wall-e.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 302px;" /></a></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />The way the Wall E shows all his foundings and treasures to Eve, the way it saves all new things in his cabin (or whatever it is), everything is nice. Even the cockroach, which is the only living being on the earth does not disgust you in any way. And in the way of malfunctioning robots, the spirit of friendship is shown. The movie is hilarious as well. Each and every scene has humour attached to it. I am in a very enthu enthu mood right now. Not completely enthu and all. But still at least not that much depressed.<br /><br />I wanted to write a post on my Jaya Tv experience. Though its too old story but I still will write it some day :P. OK, ppl. I am logging out. Hope you guys have a relaxing sunday! At least I need one. But its not gonna happen. I know :(</span></div>
