My mermaid barbie

I visited my best friend in Pune last week and we were talking about the "old times" and the story we always talk about came up.It's the "Gitu wants the mermaid barbie" story.It happened when my friend went to America when we were about 10 years old.Before she left she asked me if i wanted anything and i told her i wanted the new mermaid barbie.Before she came back,i used to call her grandparents house every day and asked when she would come back because i really wanted that mermaid barbie!When i heard they were back home,i got all dressed up and went to their house not because i missed my friend and wanted to see her but because i really wanted that mermaid barbie!!And then my friend tells me,"Gitu i searched all over the States but i didn't find the mermaid barbie".I was so upset.Then she says,"But i found only one and i got it for myself".Well i don't really remember what happened but it seems her dad saw my face and he felt like crying cause i looked THAT sad!So he called my friend's uncle in the States and asked him to buy me one and i got my mermaid barbie atlast!

Kids can be evil..even if the kid happens to be your best friend...!

Oh and i still have my mermaid barbie!!

pay back time

Last week i started teaching the basics of computers to nursing students.Since its just the know how's of using computer(something i do everyday) it was easy for me as i didnt have to prepare much.Just what to teach each day and giving assignments.But after my 2nd day i knew how my teachers would have felt.There were 3 girls in the corner who didnt do anything they were asked to and had a blank look in their eyes when i taught(sounds familiar?).And i always thought i would be the "cool" teacher but i actually got super annoyed and told them off!And i "scolded" those who didnt do their assigments(ok,seriously how hard is it to do a word doc,a powerpoint presentation and an excel sheet?).Well thats been my week so far.Today i started teaching the 1st year students.Last week was 2nd years.Yes,i lead a boring life.

This is in coffee day by the way...And the cashier handed over a menu card filled with varities of coffee and my mother said she meant whether they had south indian coffee which sadly they didn't...I was laughing SO hard.My mother didnt find it funny.

He says there were two solutions to stopping the Iraq war. "One is from our side, and it is to escalate the fighting and killing against you. This is our duty, and our brothers are carrying it out," bin Laden said.
"The second solution is from your side. ... I invite you to embrace Islam," he said.

WHAT THE HELL??????

annoyed

I HATE it when old ladies comment on my hair,weight and clothes.I find it extremely annoying.
They have to realize they have only 4 strands of white hair left and they don't and never had halle berry's body.
And i also hate it when people read your profile and then think they know you very well and say you are a beautiful person with a good heart.I'm not!I'm a terrible person with a mean evil heart.So leave me alone.
And i hate it when my computer makes a weird noise and just shuts down without giving me any time to save what i've done.
And i hate the fact that i'm an engineer and don't know what that problem might be.
I'm pissed now.

I read in the newspaper today that this pet cat in sydney was left in a kitchen cupboard after a party and the next morning they found it high with cocaine and benzodiazephine...hahahahahha

pigs

The other day my cousins Rashmi,Ashwin and myself went to the farm to see the baby pigs.They're cute but they stink so much!I guess thats why they're called pigs..and they eat anything!!
Here's a video of some of them



This video is of Rashmi holding one of the piglets.They squeal like you're going to slaughter them.Well eventually they would be slaughtered but not now anyway,they're small and won't go for a good price...lol...


Then i saw this baby pig pooping..it looked like a small blob of yellow color cream..and after it finished,the mother came and ate it!!It was so disgusting!!
I don't know if i can eat pork again!!

Father of the nation

I have an older sister.Most of you know her.Just to make things clear,this is not about her.And i'm also sure most of you know the "father of our nation"-Mahatma Gandhi.

*If you are a big mahatma fan,please hit the back button.But this is all in good humor so dont take it personally.*

Ever since i was small,my sister told me he was not THAT good like how people made it seem.That the people who actually fought and shed blood have not been recognised.And that this man just sits and says ahimsa and he's some big hero.That he always had two women beside him and he thought by wearing torn old clothes people would feel sorry for him.That he had good cambridge education but now was sending the poor brits away.And because of the British rule we have trains and roads and buildings.And if the british were still here,Prince William would be visiting every vacation and somehow he would fall in love with my sister and they would have indish or engdian kids...and blah blah..
So anyway,when i was in Madras,i came across this billboard that said,


"You must be the change you want to see in the world."
Mahatma Gandhi
Indian political and spiritual leader (1869 - 1948)

I loved this quote!And after seeing this,i started liking Gandhi a little more.I never disliked him.I mean he did do lots of nice things i'm sure.
Don't ask me why i even did this post but i wanted all of you to know this quote.I haven't started applying it but i'm sure i will someday when i'm OLDer...

nice?

can i have two titles?

I was looking at this old sock of mine.Here's how it looks,it is white with red horizontal stripes.The toe and heel part are black.And in the feet part it has a big white heart and in black it says,"sweet".I guess you can imagine how ugly it would look.It was so ugly that i actually found it sort of cute.I don't know if that makes sense.

There's this old man who lives in my street.He has a phobia for cars.So everytime he's standing in the street corner and we drive by,he starts moving around,jumping about and stuff.I used to find that quite ridiculous.But now since i'm older and wiser,i put myself in his shoes(i don't think he wears anything on his feet but you know what i mean) and i think he's actually very brave cause imagine i was standing in the street corner and this huge turkey (or any other evil bird for that matter)the size of a car comes zooming towards me...just the thought of it makes me want to die.And i probably would have some minor heart attack everytime the turkey car came near me.So never think someone else's phobia is any less than yours.

nostalgia

I'm home now.And i don't do much here.Yesterday i was looking through some old CD's i have and i found my spice girls one.I put it on and it felt like it was from some different era.It felt nice yet weird.And then i ofcoarse listened to some boyzone songs after years maybe.No matter what anju thinks,i haven't listened to them or stephen gately in ages.Well anyway,i felt like i was listening to the music of my days.All this is stuff from a decade ago.I never thought i would say stuff like that but it's true.I'm old now.When i was 11 i couldn't wait to be 21 well now that i am,its not all that great!
Then for dinner my aunt called me to kanyakumari cause some of her friends were visiting from sri lanka and they have a daughter who's 16.And this girl was asking whether i liked ludacris,nickleback and i'm like huh?And she's like,"you know,hip hop music" and i truly did feel old when i said i liked michael jackson,boyzone,and other 80's and 90's stuff!And in an attempt to sound cool i said,"oh i like destiny's child and i listen to eminem at times" and i then learnt they both hadn't released any music in a while...
This morning i check my bulletin board and i got this message from stephen gately(its on myspace..so its not actually him) and well,seems like he's going to act in this play called Godspell as Jesus...I wasn't too happy when i heard that...For reasons some of you may know..
Well anyways i got this dream last night that zip yelled at me horribly for not attending the youth meetings on saturday...she's haunting my dreams also...lol..
I'm home alone now...and i can't even have a wild party if i wanted to cause
1)There's no one here that i want to invite.
2)My house is sandwiched between my two uncle's houses.
3)I'm not 18 anymore.
4)If the house got dirty,my mom really would kill me.
5)I'm not a fun person.

Today is my school "canteen day"...How i used to love canteen day!All the food,the competition,the fun...i wanted to go today even though its been 4 years since i finished school but i then realized i would be asked too many questions that i didn't want to answer by too many people.I went to my little cousin Rohan's house and they were making cutlets and cakes and i still remember Anju and me doing that when we were in school...oh well...

i don't know!

I feel like i want to or have to write something.But my mind is totally blank.There is so much inside of me that i feel like shouting out but i know i cannot.
I don't know why i'm feeling so weird...maybe i do know but i don't know if that's exactly the reason to the way i feel.
Ok i'm going to stop feeling weird.What's the point anyway?It's your own doing and then you just end up feeling lousy.So i'm going to learn to command my brain to snap out of its sorry state whenever it gets into it(like all the time).So how am i going to learn to do that?Here's how:
1.Brain,stop it!
2.Brain,don't get into this mode.I do NOT like it.
3.Brain,You're not making me feel good.
4.Brain,you're the one who gave me the stupid idea to do whatever it is that made me feel this way,so make it go away.It's your fault.
5.Heart(poor brain,taking all the blame),your'e no better than brain.
6.Heart,you think too much(the brain is helping).
7.Heart,right now it's totally your fault.
8.Heart,just pump blood,ok.Don't do anything else.
9.Heart,stop it with all the mushy feelings.
10.Hands,stop typing,your'e not making any sense.

You know what,i'm actually feeling totally ok now.I'm must be a genius and i did'nt even know!!My brain doesn't help me at times.

Random things about me

Here are some random things about me that you may or may not know:

1.I have a really bad phobia for birds.Any bird.
2.I used to believe i was from the sun(this was when i was really young though.I used to get these deja vu moments when i saw the sun,sarbath(this orange drink) and jelebi(an orange sweet)).
3.I was once called by the principal for kicking a guy.He told his parents and they came to school to complain.(the stupid guy did not tell his part of the story which was tickling my legs for which he got kicked.So i told the principal this infront of his parents..i guess you can imagine who got yelled at).
4.I hate it when people tickle me.
5.n i dnt realy lyk it wen ppl typ lyk tis.cs it taks 2 mch tym to dcode.
6.My friends and i used to prank call people a LOT when we were in school.And we used to prank e-mail and chat with people pretending to be others.
7.When i first heard about euthanasia,i thought it was about the youth in asia.
8.I still remember the name and user id of the first person i ever "chatted" with online(it was using aol messanger under anju's screen name,i was 11 or 12).
9.I have a tendency to be attracted to men who's sexual orientation is favored towards other men.
10.I once saw something else and thought they were balloons.And i was not too discreet about it(I was only 10!).
11.I changed my name for a bried period of time when i was in 7th or 8th standard.
12.I used to be obssessed with barbies..i still quite like them.
13.I wanted to be a fashion designer when i was in 12th standard(most of my math notes then had many of my drawings of clothes!).
14.Before i joined college,i had practised the speech i would give when i got my best outstanding/university first/best extracurricular activities/best overall student award(I got none of the above).
15.I used to have a HUGE crush on salman khan when i was younger.
16.My first crush was jonathan knight(i bet i didnt even know what a crush was then but i thought he was very good looking).
17.After watching the movie stigmata,i imagined that happening to me and thought it was quite cool.
18.I played the evil queen who wanted John the baptist's head when i was in kindergarten(I still don't know how they could make someone with such an innocent face to play such a role).
19.I used to have lots of pen pals from all over the world during the years 1996-2001.I still have all their letters.
20.I started writing a book when i was 13...I wrote 2 chapters.I found it when i was 16 or 17 and almost died of embarrasment!

That's all i can think of now!

something to write about

I was reading the news on yahoo! the other day and i found an article about Sania mizra and Shahar Peer who were going to play together and how some of the muslims and jews actually protested cause its not right for a muslim and jew to play together,it might cause problems,how it has caused problems in the past and blah blah blah.I thought it was ridiculous!Its about tennis!!!NOT about islam,NOT about judaism and not even that much about Sania or Shahar!!It's about the game they're going to play.But then again i guess the press,the reporters,the newspapers need something to talk about,so why not talk about this?OH MY,a muslim and a jew!Playing together!*Shocker*
Now since i started this blog i kind of imagine how reporters or newspaper/magazine writers might feel(i'm not saying i'm even anywhere close to their level) cause sometimes you feel like you just HAVE to write something.Like at times,i look at some of my posts(maybe this one)and think,"why did i write that?".And i realized i wrote just for the sake of writing SOMETHING!It didn't matter at that time if the post was crap..So i guess i'm actually quite a hypocrite for starting off all annoyed with those tabloid people...cause i'm kinda like them..on a much smaller and less scandalous base!And i guess i better stop writing before i throw in more crap!

the rain,the sand and the sea

The rains poured out from the dark sky.It poured,how it poured.The phone rings,it is from my oldest and closest friend asking if we could go to the beach.How long,i wondered since we've been to the beach together.Memories from the past came flooding to my head.Memories when we were children,going to the beach,holding hands,our dads yelling,"dont go too far,come closer", jumping when the waves reached our legs,catching crabs(the sea creature)with our hands,making sand castles and then destroying them,writing our names in the sand and hoping someone from the far heavens could see it....ah,good memories indeed.So we went to the beach in the rain.Beautiful,how marvellous it looked,the rough waters of the indian ocean and the grey clouds crying out.I did not think we would go into the waters but we did(and though i did not have spare clothes).It was just like the old days(but with far too less number of people).We held hands and squealed every time a big wave came.The sea was angry,its currents strong but we were brave.But we were not stupid to go too far.In a sudden adventurous moment,i asked my friend if we could go further in and she said she didnt want to die this way and also she did not have her passport with her(in case we reached sri lanka).And i thought about my life being taken away by the waters(my dad did not know i went to the beach,he would not allow me cos the sea was rough and it was raining) and i said out loud ,"oh no, i cant die now,my dad will kill me".My friend laughed like she was going to die.But its true,if i got drowned in the beach,my dad would see my body and probably beat me saying,"i told you you can't go,this is what you get for being disobidient"(i may exaggerate a bit).

And then we built a sandcastle...well it was in reality more of a sand fortress and my tower was the most beautiful with a viewing place and four windows(my friends would say theirs was the best looking but no,it was mine).The sky then decided to pour out harder than ever and we had to leave.

We then went to my uncles beach house and got dressed(i found some clothes there for me to wear) and then got stuck in the biggest traffic jam this town has probably seen and then we saw this accident and a woman was on the road,possibly hurt but not too hurt.And people got down from their cars and bikes and went towards her to WATCH!They were not helping one bit.If they didnt want to help they could just leave but they all stood around her and stared and this one family came all dressed up for it like they were going for some wedding and once the injured lady left,they left too.But they just came there and stood around.It was was so annoying.

This was how my day went yesterday.I tried writing like some fancy author would but i guess i'm just not cut out for that!

is love soft?

Shalom!

Erev tov!that is good evening to all those who don't understand hebrew...heheh...yeah yeah i know im showing off!Anyways,i'm back from Israel and i'm so in love with it.Most people who know me probably know how much i've been wanting to go and finally God paved the way for me and though it was not like how i thought it would be,it was still amazing.I had a great time and i recommend going to Israel to anyone!We saw so many places i had to keep a diary and write in whatever we did that day or else i'm sure i wouldn't remember!And i have to mention this...the people there are really good looking!

So,back to my title,"is love soft?".My sister got this new toilet paper and its called something(i forgot) and it says "Soft like love" and since most of you know that I haven't really been in love(sans Steve gately) i would honestly like to know,"is love soft?"
