I just came back from riding the Scooty Pep on the street. Wow! Doesn’t driving a vehicle give you so much of confidence? As I wheezed past familiar buildings and my legs were stationery (as compared to the cycle which was quite often my last own means of transport, where I had to pedal), I was experiencing a wholesome amount of joy. The breeze rushing on my face gave me utmost satisfaction. All this as I was going straight. Then came the time for me to take a U turn. The vehicle was brought down ...

21 May 2005: This day, a year back, a came to know of my selection into the university where I’m currently studying. Thank God so much for it, for otherwise I would have been just another engineer, not someone I wanted to be. ****************************A whole year has almost passed since that really boring trip to Kolkata (actually the Belur Mutt) that we made, one of my most boring vacation trips. It was filled with confusion over whether I would join this ...

Acchooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! Sneeze, sniff, sniff….this is what I have been doing ever since I came to Chennai. God only knows why, I keep sneezing umpteen times everyday. My dad says it’s because I have become used to pure air and blah, but I just disagree – after all I was born and have spent most of my lifetime in Chennai, I can never find this new and hence start sneezing (or so I strongly tell myself!). Namma Chennai-ya vittu kudukka mudiyuma?I read that all organs of the body (including the heart!) ...

“Can’t you see?”, the lady said. She shivered.I looked at her sympathetically. “Poor thing”, I thought. “She needs some rest and counselling.”“There are just two of us in this room,” she continued, “but three shadows. See the wall..”I looked at the direction in which she pointed.HORRORS!!!!Yes, there were three shadows.And as I watched, a figure appeared from thin air, a miracle. The newly appeared figure was causing the shadow. But she (yeah, the thing was a she) was transparent! The lady next ...

Returning home- part 2

posted on , by Vani Viswanathan

Ugh! This computer at home is so unbearably slow that I long for my black beauty (which is sadly sitting, all packed, in a cold, dark store room!). Ahem, by black beauty I mean my black n ‘khewl’ computer in Singapore. I miss you, dear! (yeah, these will be things I miss, and you may have to get used to me missing such things!) I miss that awesome optical mouse and that sleek Logitech keyboard. I miss those amazing controls on the keyboard- one button to open winamp and one to open IE. This comp ...

Returning home – part 1

posted on , by Vani Viswanathan

Hmm…so looks like many of you who visited my sis’ blog have some comments about mine, eh? Ok, so keeping up with my comment there to watch out for the new entry….here goes. 27th was a damn busy day for me. Running around here and there, packing off and chucking some left over stuff into trash, a little bit of shopping, whew, it was tiring. And I had to return my keys to the hall of residence office before 5 P.M. So I quickly arranged everything and returned all the things ...
