Crocs rule :)

I absolutely enjoy reading Jenadas Devan’s articles every Sunday. I am a big fan of his weekly writings.

I don’t feel like blogging.

Inside myself is a place where I live alone
And that’s where you renew your springs
That never dry up

I can't think of a title{part 1}

I need a crash course to understand army lingo. I get lost when my male friends start talking. Anyways,the past week has been pretty hectic and thus a Saturday was a “must have fun” day for me.
I finally got to meet some girlies after lunch and we shared very interesting conversation topics. After which, I spent the evening with Latha and Shobzi.As usual it was heaps fun hanging out with them. The TP show was not too bad. I sincerely appreciate any type of stage production because I know the amount of effort, teamwork and commitment that goes into producing it especially if it is coordinated by students. Thank god for lit production. I also don’t get why people like to walk off without staying for credits, something I find very rude and sickening. I mean you have already warmed your ass for the past few hours, would it hurt to stay a few more minutes to appreciate and acknowledge the people who have amused you?

I have made my mom promise me my holiday at the end of the year even if it means I have to go myself. And it better not be Australia or India{ As much as i love these 2 countries,I’ve been there just toooo many times }I don’t have that many years worth of free tickets left and I plan to make full use of every one that’s left.

The best part

I am too lazy to upload the rest and i intend to have an early night..

Finally

I cannot believe I spent almost a whole day at the Aussie High Comm..Not my idea of fun really.

I finally got to watch The Namesake!!!{runs screaming} I ‘ve been waiting really long to catch the film adaptation since I read the book. Honestly , those who read the book would probably be a little disappointed. The book was way better and expectedly they cut a whole LOT. All the tiny yet poignant moments were lost. Nonetheless Mira Nair did a great job. The basic essence of the book was still captured. And of course, Kal Penn was the bomb. After watching him tackle humour, it’s a bit erm.. interesting to watch him get serious. I started giggling the minute he appeared on screen, he’s just sooo furrrnny.I have the biggest crush on him (and its not because of his looks) Tabu and Irfaan Khan also did a rather praiseworthy job. I hade FUN.A BIG thank you to xantac for tagging along. Now I want to see Freedom writers and Little Miss Sunshine.





I love my dogs
I cant seem to get “give it to me” by Nelly ,JT and Timbaland out of my head.
Let the PARTY begin!!!

Happy Birthday to Ah fawn and chand!!

Nam-a-sake

How long more am I to wait?

I think therefore I am

Watching Supernanny makes me a tad bit angry sometimes. Why on earth do parents not slap their kids for calling them “you fat bitch”.I know I would.

Are having evil thoughts any superior than committing the very deed itself?
The way I look at it, both are equally undesirable. Like Rene Descartes very wisely said 'I think therefore I am’. The fact that we have consciously allowed such thoughts to develop makes us as guilty as someone who has physically carried out that thought. Whatever the mind can conceive, the will can achieve. As far as I am concerned, there is only a slight nuance of variation. It all comes down to physically carrying out “the” deed.

Actually, come to think of it takes more guts to actually perform the evil deed. No really, I mean the reason we think and not do a rather wrongful deed is simply {maybe not so simply} because we lack the courage to challenge our moral compass. More like fear of the ramification(s) prevents us from undertaking action. Cowardice in this case is a GOOD thing.


There’s always two ways of looking at things. A very simplified example would be the “glass halve empty or halve full” approach. You decide how you want to look at it.

Never again

I FINALLY got to read Night by Elie Wiesal. It is very hard for anyone who has not survived the Holocaust to relate and understand the essentials of his experiences and I honestly hope no one or no race ever goes through such excruciating torture. Never again.

This is a short excerpt form the preface

"For the survivor who chooses to testify, it is clear: his duty is to bear witness for the dead and for the living. He has no right to deprive future generations of a past that belongs to our collective memory. To forget would be not only dangerous but offensive; to forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.
SOMETIMES I AM ASKED if I know “the response to Auschwitz”; I answer that not only do I not know it, but that I don’t even know if a tragedy of this magnitude has a response. What I do know is that there is “response” in responsibility. When we speak of this era of evil and darkness, so close and yet so distant, “responsibility” is the key word.

The witness has forced himself to testify. For the youth of today, for the children who will be born tomorrow. He does not want his past to become their future."



I also read the play Talaq by Elangovan and I can see why it created quite a{an unnecessary} stir .I must applaud the man’s audacity for writing and staging such a play. We need more creative individuals like him around.


Random

I finally mustered enough courage to get contact lenses.My JC and close mates will know well enough about my issue with lenses so it is quite a shocker for them and myself too.

I decided to do something completely random with myself so I got my ears pierced for the second time. This is what happens when you become too bored ,you start thinking too much and too randomly.

And I have been itching to get myself tattooed after watching too much Miami Ink.My parents would probably go berserk{understatement} but Haha we’ll see how that comes along.

Always

{Ahhh remembers and swoons..}
