When he spoke...

posted on , by Vani Viswanathan

My dear little one,How much you have grown! You will still remain my little one even then… the little girl I pampered, many a time secretly, the one I used to pat to sleep, take to school and run around with too.At this time, I cannot help thinking of the time I held you in my hands for the first time – you were a tiny, sleeping baby, but fresh and beautiful, and I remember how my eyes filled with tears of joy as you opened your tiny mouth and yawned, then slowly opened your eyes and blinked.

Technically, I'm supposed to be studying now. Nobody asked me to, nor am I required to. But looking at my room mate vigorously taking one book after another, highlighting and making notes really makes me want to study. Of course, that this want drops dead as soon as she leaves the room is another thing.I woke up half an hour back (early, according to university standards), telling myself I have to study.

And I broke another vow, and I feel like banging my head in the nearest wall for doing so - I really shouldn't waste my money on such Hindi movies, desperately hoping these kind of directors will get more mature. Though this movie was a whiff of fresh air from the usual crap Johar churns out (you know I'm not a big fan!), it ultimately succumbs to be one of them too.Now, if this contains ...

Just to let you know... I'm back!!

posted on , by Vani Viswanathan

It's a surprise how quickly my mood changes. Oh, from bad to good only, though. I'm so proud to realise it's extremely easy to get me back to normal after disappointments or anger (maybe it has a lot to do with that I laugh for the stupidest things on earth!). Anyways, all this talk has to do with how my computer conked out when I desperately needed it this afternoon after I came back from my first class of 3rd year, depressed, for no reason I could clearly identify.
