Either I have no more vetti ideas or I am lazy. I will pick being lazy. I hope to update this blog more often than before. Happy new year everyone.

The Birthday Post

2009-07-25T20:40:00.003-04:00

Its been so hectic for the past few weeks that I almost forgot it was Dhoni's birthday on 7 of July. I was randomly browsing through my office notes, when I realised that I had forgotten to put a appppeee burthday post for the ever so charming Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

I feel its been long since I came close to any form of game.I have just lost any hopes of seeing cricket on TV again. I still read the ball by ball comentary on cricinfo and just imagine the action and drama on the field :(

Not to mention the occassional intervention by some pressing assignement at work that leads me to a dual living state. I keep shifting to a noisy cricket stadium from the very silent work place.

In this post I shall also wish my friends Rakesh, Neha and Swetha a very happy birthday and a wonderful year. As for Dhoni, wish you a very happy birthday and a wonderfully memorable year.

Sri Lankan Series

2009-02-08T20:00:00.002-05:00

Been a long time since I blogged..err..very long it should be. In between my last post and this, the Indian cricket team had lead a successful conquest of half the earth. They have won almost all the series they were made to face and they are surely doing great. Winning was a surprise to Indians a year back, but now losing would be a surprise.
The India-SriLanka series squashed the Lankans in their own land. Though I never got a chance to watch the matches, I have been keeping myself informed about the matches. I am so glad that India is doing so well right now. Hope they keep the same trend and win the WC too.
This is not the first time our team is on a winning spree and making us hope for the world cup :). Hope, unlike all the other times, they win the WC.

Dhoni Again!

2008-11-03T18:32:00.001-05:00

I just thought I had stopped writing or even thinking of updating my blog these days. Then I hear this great news that Dhoni is the captain of the Indian test cricket team.
It is a really good news, but poor guy,there must be more pressure on him now. I guess he has made a good impression as a captain of the Indian team for the T20 and one day squad and this has made him an obvious choice for the job.
Something to note here, when I was working in India, people used to tell me don't work very hard else you will be given more work to do. Whether its IT or cricket looks the rule is the same.If you do well they drive you to deliver more till they burn you out.
Hope they understand what they are doing and give chance to other people too. After all the future will soon be here and Dhoni will have to retire someday too!!

But anyways, all the best Dhoni, I am still crazy abt you and very very happy for you!

Happy Birthday Dhoni

2008-07-07T20:53:00.005-04:00

Wish u all luck in whatever you do..let the midas touch stay with you...and may you bring more laurels to the game and the country.

Once again..wish u a very very very happy birthday Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Pssst I am still crazy abt u [:D]

Today is the birthday of one of my best buddies Neha Singh..Neha dearie, wish u a very happy birthday and a lot of luck this year.

A matter of unsettled career options

2008-06-22T13:19:00.003-04:00

There has been many times in my life, I had thought I have a passion for works of art.All the time I used to think I should take up a career in a field of art, invariably the first thing that comes to my mind is writing.I don't know if I am good enough right away to start something in writing(though I write something in this blog), so I keep contemplating now and then about doing a degree in literature :D.

There are many other things that I am equally interested in, the list includes the following:
Cosmetology, Journalism, Sports journalism, fashion designing, Interior decoration etc.
It just feels like I am not really interested terribly about what I am doing right now.I just deal with inanimate machines all day long, while I really like making things for real people.Not that the programs I make are used by real people, only that the there is no interaction with real people till the product is made.While in all the arts and craft oriented field, every part of making the product needs free thinking and lots of people interaction.
May be the reason why I wanted to be a doctor all the time, is because it meant real people to be working with, real heroic deeds of saving lives.But I think I was too ambitious in that.But given a second chance, I will still want to be a doctor, I loved dreaming about being a doctor..so I still dream, but now a doctor after a PhD :D.This is more realistic rt?
Someday..yes someday, I would have done something about one of these things I wanted myself to be :)

To The One I Love

2008-03-31T20:35:00.003-04:00

I miss you,I love you,
I miss looking at you everyday,
I miss talking to you everyday,
I miss walking beside you,
I miss asking you silly questions,
I miss irritating you,
I miss making you angry,
I miss crying when you scold me,
I miss your apology when I cry,
I miss your concerned questions,
I miss answering you hastily,
I miss your phone call day in and day out,
I miss the support you were,
I miss your patient listening,
I miss your caring talk,
I miss the kid I was,
I miss everything you were,
I wish everything that happened to us never happened at all!!
I Love You, I miss You!!

When exams come!

2008-02-21T21:56:00.002-05:00

Its been so difficult to keep up with blogging these days..I will not say I had no time, I am very sure if I am a little more organized in life I can make it to blogging.But the silly me never listens to the more good me.So here I am running around without accomplishing much in a day and eventually in life.Putting such silly references away and let me begin the topic I wanted to narrate here.

With half way into my spring semester I have been expecting the exams to arrive with a big bang into my otherwise assignment,project and no fun filled life.So they are coming up next week, adding misery to the already fun filled (sarcasm) graduate life.All these days I had mindlessly done assignments, projects and cooking and cleaning at home and attended classes.Now is the time of the semester where people find out if I really listened in class or was mentally wandering thinking of "which tour is Dhoni going on now".."whats the local time in that place"..remember I never do this its simply an imaginary reference to the thoughts I could have ruminated when the alphas and betas where dancing on the board.

So the real good student in me religiously attended every lecture, but trust me you have to listen to them atleast three times to get the idea of what actually happened that day in class.Seriously, its a the most horrible experience anyone can go through a feeling of the inability to grasp something, when some guy is asking questions in it.Kill him..idiot..over reacting to the stupid data being put up in the slide!!..thats exactly what I think when someone tries to wake up the otherwise slumbering class.

But to sum it up all I should have atleast woken up when that guy was asking those weird facts, cause now I am getting the same doubt as he had.Phew!! the silly me..I have to figure out the whole thing on my own.Very tough.So here it is..exams are fast approaching and I am still unaware of what was taught in class.

Where was I?

2008-02-04T21:54:00.000-05:00

With my birthday coming closer, I had a few thoughts about what I have made myself into? Where was I in all the years past...where have I reached in life?

Sounding like a crazy thingy to do...well you have nothing to do but think about yourself when you are far away from ppl u love the most.

So I was roaming about in my home thinking about some funny facts about me as a kid..how they have changed now..I have gained a few, lost a lot :)

kid :: Eating chocolates all time, any time is ok
now :: Eating chocolates leads to cavity, so brush teeth after chocolate..bah..I don't want chocolate, who has the time and energy to brush teeth over and over again

kid :: Eat as many ice creams as ur hands can hold, as long as u r near the ice cream shop and dripping ice cream all over one's frock is alrite.
now :: Ice cream is evil..causes cold and head ache...don't mess up the dress..u will have hard time washing it.

kid :: Eating outside is fun...new food types are kewl to try and wasting is ok.
now :: gosh who wants to go out and eat..new foods are not tat easy to give a try..wat if I waste it..I land up hungry and all money in pocket is gone too.

kid :: washing hands is no fun..play and run to kitchen to find ur fav food.
now :: wash hands before even drinking water.

kid :: if its dark outside..sit close to parents :P
now :: what the heck..we have electrical light.

kid :: hold parents hands while outside the house
now :: too far away from home...happy to hear them :D

kid :: don't talk to strangers
now :: speak to anyone when a job needs to be done

kid :: jump over the fence into the next house to retrieve tennis ball.
now :: jump..wats that?

kid :: Wish my distant cousin gets married..will see all other cousins and can play all day long..have great food..and say anything to mom..she can't beat small kids in public :D
now :: weddings..mom I am not going anywhere..I can drop u off at the hall..I am not coming in ..who wants to hear the same question from so many diff ppl "so when ur marriage"

kid :: beat the guy in your next seat black and blue..get into a fight..run madly in school..fall down.
now :: beating up someone..tat too a guy..r u crazy, non violence is the word..no fighting..running big NO NO.

kid :: I go where ever mom and dad take me.
now :: I go where I have to go..I decide all of it..missing the bliss of not knowing where u are going and for what!!

SO here it is ppl..all that has changed..so how abt u ppl trying a little searching abt wat u were and wat u are now.

Dhoni..Dhoni...

2007-12-13T20:26:00.000-05:00

Well many things have changed in both our lives...Dhoni and me..But one thing remains the same..I am still the same crazy crazy abt him :D

pic from Hindu.com

A new hairstyle..a few more match winning innings..a world cup...more accolades...a captaincy..some gossips with new females in bollywood...some more wonderful interviews...lots of gr8 attitude...and all this with a year added to his life.

He still rocks..with or without those typical locks ..I am crzy abt him!!

The Cook in me!!

2007-11-19T18:55:00.000-05:00

You Are an Excellent Cook

You're a top cook, but you weren't born that way. It's taken a lot of practice, a lot of experimenting, and a lot of learning.
It's likely that you have what it takes to be a top chef, should you have the desire...

Are You A Good Cook?

Now that this is a fact I already know very well..thanks to my roomies who appreciate every tiny thing I make as an improvement to an old recipe.
I just bring to the notice of my fellow bloggers and friends..

What can I say?

2007-10-14T22:38:00.000-04:00

Warning:::This is not an interesting post, its my rambling at the end of a weekend.

What is the best way to cheer up when you are upset...When you feel you have done all you can and nothing has repaid..When you feel hopeless and down the drain.
Well all you can do is tell your family..oops they will feel bad about it too...so next you would talk to your friends about it.

Sitting in another continent, with just few months into a course and not having many known people around, I had no other go than call back home and a couple of friends.
Its pretty funny how the voice inside your head is shouting and still you sound calm and placid to all the people you love, and know are truly concern about you.

My mom did find out tat I was not ok...but my best friends did not have the slightest clue...Moms are truly great!!

Dhoni's Young Team brought the WC Home.

2007-09-27T22:06:00.000-04:00

After winning the world twenty twenty, the Indian team had proven that Indian cricket has a safe future.A young tem of determined individuals made India proud.I could not get to see the match in this part of the world, but as an Indian I had the same emotions as any fellow Indian back home.I was so happy that I kept smiling for two full days and spoke about the match to anyone I saw.

With a post about cricket, I can't leave Dhoni out of it, for he is the captain of the team and a very good one at it.When I saw Dhoni lift the cup I was like OMG!!
Its was such a great thing to do ...wow..for I guy who has not been long in international cricket, his growth into a mature leader he is today has been fast and astounding.
I just like him for his simplicity and having his head on his shoulders.Well people had always criticized his way of playing, like one of my friends said "India won WC cos Dhoni did not play properly"---but he was leading very well and had made the team work with a lot of commitment.I don't remember the last time I saw the entire team do well.There was always a slackening in someone's performance, or the bowling will go astray or the batting line up will collapse or the fielders will have buttery hands.
But this was a match in which as per critiques, the all round performance of the team was very good.Wow, this was something that the Indian team had never heard about itself, an all round good performance.

Well I am glad that the men in blue made up for the crap they got us in WC2007, I am even more glad that Dhoni has proven himself worth of captaining the Indian team.

Men in BLUE have sure proven their worth...:D

A spl thing::
I got this mail about dhoni, a nice one so I put it up here:

Eppadi Irunda naan:

Ippadi Agiten:

Like always.....yeaaaaa..Dhoni you sure ROCK!!:D

End of a Dream

2007-03-24T04:46:00.000-04:00

This is exactly the mood in which I slept and woke up today!!
Know y...Well the style in which India lost to Sri Lanka left me numb to all other things. I couldn't control the tears rolling down my eyes at around 2.30am today.I was simply lost, I felt like the team had let us down so badly.I switched off the tv mechanically and without a comment went to sleep.That match was the most disappointing match I had ever seen...I cursed myself for being so crazy abt the game...But still,in the heart of my hearts, I shall still go gaga over it, cos our team will someday fare well.Whatever happens, those who played yesterday are our fellow country men who also shared the same emotions as us, except that they could have done something about it.

Even wen a few lakh ppl disown the team..A few good souls still believe them and hope they shall restore the past glory!
I don't want to comment on the way each one played cause they know what they had done better than us!
A sad post by an exremely sad Indian cricket team fan...:(

Team India -07

2007-03-02T10:55:00.000-05:00

pic courtesy: cricinfo.com

With the world cup around the corner every nation that has sent its team for contesting in the WC dreams of getting the cup from the Indies soil to their soil...To get to see the cup being lifted by the men whom they have impressed upon the duty to win it..
Indians are quite different from these people, we r fanatics, we need that cup this year, come what may!!
We are a nation of people who look at cricket as a game that unites us together, makes us forget our bad leaders, forget our terrorist attacks and make us feel happy for those few hours we watch that match.Feel happy if we win that particular match else we get disappointed a lot.

I hope this year begins with a great success for our nation atleast in Cricket.
I wish our team all the best for this World Cup!

What was he thinking??

2007-02-26T10:02:00.000-05:00

This picture was published in the newspaper today..
The first thing I thought wen I looked at it was this conversation

Lalu:

The guy in the blue dress on his rt:

Dhoom Again!

2007-01-07T03:18:00.000-05:00

Back again to writin here...well now I shall write a review on the movie I watched..review of the Movie D:2 a.k.a DHOOM 2.

To begin with this movie had no serious stuff..it was a totally out of the blue scenario, where some guy with no name and motto goes on stealin a large number of invaluable stuff..this guy's role is played by Hrithik...the cops role is played by Abishek, Uday and Bipasha...Aishwarya is yet another thief who befriends Hrithik with high hopes(real stupid stuff)..

The hi-tech ways by which all the robberies happen are fun to watch, I enjoyed almost every song except the "My name is Ali...blah blah blah"--its bad.

Hrithik, even though the bad guy, outshines Abishek in the movie.Aishwarya looks pathetic, she looks as though she had been in the ICU for months now!
As for Bipasha..she looks the same glam doll as ever...Uday has had nothin todo so as to b commented upon..

The movie is an entertainer with nothing to remember after watchin it..except for the songs..I had nice fun watchin it, was happy to b entertained all thru the movie..gud value for the money I gave, atleast I wasn't cryin anywhere durin the movie!

Do watch it..if u want a mindless entertainer.

Note: all the ideas expressed above are my perception of the movie.No intentions to hurt any of the fans.

Ajit's Birthday Celebrations!

2006-09-27T11:49:00.000-04:00

Hi ppl I was supposed to be posting ajit's b'day fotos here...Uploading problems so will give a link here soon..His b'day was on 19th of september.This is an extremely late post but still I wanted to tell ya ppl abt his b'day celeb.

I wished him at mid night itself, woke him and wished half asleep.Poor guy woke up and thanked me...Then in the morning he left for class even before I woke up...When I met him again I wished him..Then my parents and me planned secrectly to cut a cake in the evening for his b'day.

I went out in the evening and smuggled the req goods into our refrigirator.Then at around six in the evening I called him to cut the cake..its was fun to see his face go from a bored one to a happy one!!!
Thus I celebrated the birthday of by younger yet taller brother's B'day.

I will sooner or later update a story I wrote about him.

BAck to blog

2006-09-12T00:07:00.000-04:00

I have not been blogging for a considerable amount of time now.The major reason being my laziness to type in posts.I accept that I must have taken some measures to get over it, but that never happens in my case.

Finally I made up my mind that I have to post in my blog and here u have the first fruit of that attempt. I have so many things to write that I will have to spend almost half of today if I start writing a post on each of them (phew)..So I will write a post miscellany, thats my immediate post!!

Some of the thing that happened at home have to be put up in this post itself i guess..

MOM gets Best teacher Award!!

(I dono wat to wish them..luv u mom and dad!)

When Ajit met Surya

2006-08-24T09:31:00.000-04:00

This post on the how my brother Ajit felt after meeting actor Surya today..
As a part of a cultural feista at his school,
Surya had been invited as the chief guest for the first day.

Ajit had gone there today just to meet him and have a look at the man whom he adores a lot...This liking for Surya had come from watching the movie Kakka Kakka..Ajit had seen the movie so many times and I know will watch them several more times in the years to come.

Ajit came back home with a bright smile on his face..He said he felt so elated that he was literally speechless...Later he began saying that he had seen Surya at close quaters cos Ajit had been a part of the human chain formed to usher Surya into the auditorium with ease.Ajit had then taken a seat right behind the actor and had taken lots of fotos of him(the one here was taken by him) and a few videos. The most unforgettable event of the day according to Ajit was that he had shaken hands with his hero..

Surya had then gone on to give a speech on his school days and about importance of friendship and moral ethics in life.He said it all in one go in a language that the kids loved to hear.Finally Surya danced with Dr.Mrs.Y.G.Parthasarathy for the song Sutrum Vizhi sudarae from Ghajini...It all ended with the same fun it had begun and Surya left the place with even more cheering from the crowds.

Thus when Ajit met Surya, Ajit adored him even more than ever.

Mile Sur Mera Tumhara

2006-08-22T23:55:00.000-04:00

"Mile sur mera tumhara..tho sur banae hamara"-- does this line ring bells..This is a national integraton song that used to be played in doordarshan very many years back.
I used to love this song a lot because it covered almost all geographical regions in the visuals and was made up of all the major languages in India..THE SONG WAS TRULY AN INTEGRATION of what India is.
But for the past few years, the song is not been played and the new generation has been missing out on this wonderful song set in pre-IT India(I framed tat phrase)..What I mean to say is, we are not able to see how India was prior to all this pollution, buildings and all the glitz...The simplicity with which the diversity of what our country is, potrayed in this song always left me awe struck.

Recently there was a tv show on this song and in the show they showed the various adaptations of it.Of this I liked the one by a few students of MIT...The whole song has been done within the MIT campus and it spreads the word that the whole world is family..GLOBAL INTEGRATION...
here is the link..you too enjoy it!!
Mile sur mera tumhara..
Its a beautiful song and I feel that any adaptation of it will always be looked at with awe!!

Thanga Vettai

2006-08-15T10:52:00.000-04:00

My life had taken a dumb turn this time..Well make it funny..no stupid..ok watever..I was on tv this sunday(13th of aug 2006)..Make it on Sun Tv, in the show I seriously never even dreamnt of taking part, Thanga Vettai[;@]..
It all started when I was laughing my heads off when my mom suggested that we apply for the show, I was confident that we will never go.But fate had different ideas, they did call us in for the shooting.I was there on the appointed day and the shooting was done with all the splendor and fun and the anchor Ramya Krishnan, she looked gorgeous I should say..Well I was bit nervous at the beginning,but then as time progressed got used to its presence...So the final rounds were a piece of cake for me.
The actual embarrassment of being on the show came when it was telecast..dono y I felt very silly, but it was a bit odd and tickling..to see me there on screen..[:D].
Now tat I have written about it myself, I hope my friends don't write more elaborate stuff on that show!!!!Ppl spare me on this pls!

Simply Dhoni

2006-08-05T04:59:00.000-04:00

Today news paper carried an interview with Mahendra Singh Dhoni.The following link takes u to the article:

DHONI's INterVIEW

The article is a general interview with the wicket keeper of the present Indian Squad.
Its simply a talk with Dhoni ,to understand a man beyond his famous mane.Well looks like he knows not much about himself ,as he quotes ,but there is sure a charisma about him.With so many people falling flat for him ;)[me too], this youth ICON sounds pretty down to earth..
For the final say, I simply adore his attitude.He is a person ,as he says, who wants to give his best shot to what ever he does...Thats one hell of way to do things ,to the best they can get!!

When it rains

2006-07-21T13:15:00.000-04:00

Rain is the most beautiful natural phenomenon, it appeals to all our senses.

you can hear the rain drops falling around u.
you can smell the dry land getting soaked in water drops(the smell is pure ecstasy).
you can see the newly washed plants the glimmer and simmer in the light of the day!
you can feel the cold drops drench ur body and elevate the spirits!(the spirit in here refers to the soul)
you can taste the taste of tasteless water(most of dono that pure water is tateless!!)

I always luv the rainy season, as a kid i liked it,for it always brought holidays along, it was also enjoyable getting wet till the skin and getting back cold and shivering and it also ensured that my tiny garden looks neat and green all time!!
Rains in the high school days meant bunking classes and most wanted sick days(a reason i often quoted for not going to school)..
Rains, in college days meant muddy exteriors in my college, traffic jams, humid afternoons, sick lectures, beautiful scenery and lots of pooochi(insects)..
Rains ,wen I am vetti means a lot of stuff, a bedsheet, hot tea and the window side chair..wow its magic..watching the drops fall magically from nowhere (for all practical puposes i consider the sky to b at infinity)is soo superb!

I sit there from the starting till the end..
the lighting and thunder and the beautiful shower!!
I watch 'em all none to b missed..
As each one of them is nature's gift!
A gift from sky to sand..
the gift of water to land!!

note:I know how horrible my post would read...don't bother, u too try enjoying the rainy season from now on!

Dhoni the Youth ICON-'06

2006-06-29T23:27:00.000-04:00

This year's MTv Youth Icon is M.S.Dhoni himself..The youth icon of MTv,as most of know, is an award given based on the choice of the ppl. The voting is done by sms or online polls, this means u really have to be a man of the masses to b a youth icon ;)...Thus this year Dhoni was chosen as the MTv youth Icon, wherein he was well ahead of his competitors in points...

The contenders for the same award this year includes...
Navjot Singh Sidhu (television),
Abhijeet Sawant (music),
Vijay Mallaya (business),
President A P J Abdul Kalam (science),
John Abraham (film).

Dhoni now joins the group of former Youth Icon awardees like industrialist Anil Ambani, present captain of Indian cricket team Rahul Dravid and film star Shah Rukh Khan.

hey This shall b completed soon!

Er finally

2006-06-19T10:37:00.000-04:00

I am finally an Er. well thats not an error, its an Engineer.

My final sem results came 2 days back, done a pretty good job and thus here I am a professional, an engineer, and a person who still can't figure out how all this happened..

Its all like, it happened yesterday,
me joining college, being ragged, not studying throughout the semester,writing crap in every semester exam, praying a lot before the result, holding my breath when the result page is downloading and finally shouting aloud when I see the word pass next to all the subjects...Till today I have never had the guts to calculate my own percentage every semester, its mom who will always calculate my percentage after I give her my marks..

So finished the stuff..and I am now an ENGINEER.(this is wat I call +ve reinforcement..keep telling urself till you believe)

X-men The Super Heroes

2006-06-04T05:49:00.000-04:00

I began watching X-men as a cartoon when I was a kid.I always liked the cartoons full of super heros fighting bad guys...Well X-men brought in a new concept of human super heroes, who had a mutation by virtue of with had super powers.I had been watching the cartoon from the begining of their existence.
The cartoon started with Professor Charles Xavier finding out that he has special powers and tries to find more of the same type ie having special powers. Then there is a guy called Magneto, who hates mankind for being bad to a mutant like him and does evil stuff with his powers.
So now the proffesor forms a league with young mutants and helps them prune their powers so that they can use it when they wish to and get over their problems with accepting that they r different!
Amongst the characters, I used to luv storm,wolverine,jean grey,rogue and shadowcat!
Well it was long time ago I saw the movie, it was simply fantastic to see...man it was damn good to watch.All of the cartoon characters were carefully turned into the heroes in the film.They all looked exactly like the way I had imagined to be in real life!
The visual effects produced in the film are simply superb and were better than the ones in the cartoon..And now finally,the third movie of the X-men series is out and is making it a big way...Its called X-men: The Last Stand,and is a blockbuster hit, the movie is about how the X-men take up or resent taking up the cure for their uniqueness.
I dono if I will get to watch this movie!
Hope the X-men remain!

Dhoni in Fourth Position

2006-06-03T11:04:00.000-04:00

The recent one day series between India and the West Indies has proved to be disastrous to the Indian team and ofcourse to many star players of the team.

Mahendra Singh DHONI who went to play in the Indies as the world SEcond batsman, has slipped to the fourth position in the ICC Ratings.Dhoni is at the fourth position with 779 points.

Though this is pretty bad, I feel that the Indian team now knows its problem areas well ahead of the world cup, and also realise that its important for them to improve their game in the Indies, which is the World cup destination!

THE bad dream

2006-05-30T22:47:00.000-04:00

Its been exactly a week since I finished my last semester exam.I have been litrally wasting my time over the internet, mailing, blogging, moderating groups and communities and ofcourse chatting and catching up with my buddies.

By doing all these I have spent one whole week blissfully.But yesterday nite I had a pretty bad dream, I woke up at the middle of the nite because of it..

Well I guess I have been thinking tooo much abt my exams, I had this strage dream where I am sitting idle in front of my computer when my phone rings, I pick up the fone to find my best friend tryin to inform me something in a hurry...She somehow manages to tell me tat the university wants uniformity of exams among all branches and so is includin 2 more papers for us to write this sem...She also tells me that the exam will b conducted in another week...I get all feverish and feel like I am fainting,...It was exactly at this time a woke up to find out that it was all a dream...guess it was way too real tat I was petrified by it!

The dream was pretty scary...so its a nitemare..(the exam nitemare)..

Will Dhoni Be Back?

2006-05-17T10:01:00.000-04:00

Now that India are back playing...Hope plays damn well to be back in position one in the ODI ranking...

He had secured the position before and had managed to stay there just for 9 days after which it was claimed by Adam Gilchrist...Now that India r playing against the Indies..Hope Dhoni gets back to the top.

ALL THE BEST DhOnI.
GO DHONI!

Farewell (part 1)

2006-05-09T08:54:00.000-04:00

Today is our farewell day!!!
It was a wonderful celebration...It was a day we officially told each other we r leaving for now and not forever...I kept cool throughout the day cos I know tat I will not let go my friends and I will always(as much as i can), keep in touch with them.
My entire class kept its cool with the silent promise of keepin in touch and always staying together.

Other than all these touchy stuff, we had loads of fun...The singing and dancing was the highlight of the day..I got to see the singing and dancing talents of many ppl tat day.

We had fun games organised by our juniors and the prizes for the winners included:

Zero watt bulb
Scratched CD
Captain/Ponvandu washing soap

The prizes were very encouraging and funny....Most of got BULBS..:D

Note: this post was drafted on 9th and published only today.

I am Busy!

2006-05-06T01:34:00.000-04:00

Well does this phrase look like the one U just now used to put ur brother/sister out of ur room or to put the fone down so tat u could stop talking to ur good old friend!

This has been the case with most of who have endeared ourselves and our creepy gadgets over the ppl whom we love and those who wish us the best..
We r becoming more and more mechanical and wat used be chatting time once has become mailing time or blogging time(;)).Simple things such as saying hi or hello takes away a huge amount of time in Our BUSY Schedule..
So we slowly stop caring about those concerned fone calls and terribly concerned visitors and finally land up totally engrossed in our own BUSY BUSY life.

So if you have been this busy... WAKE UP! there is more out there than being busy..

Note: This post is to help ME wake up and also YOU if u r in a similar state of mind.

Cricket In A Room

2006-05-02T11:29:00.000-04:00

Playing cricket inside the house with a sponge ball(:D) has always been fun..I have been doing this from time immemorial.
Well in a hot hot summer with nothing much to do, I got my brothers cricket bat, called him to bowl a few balls for me in our room.
We had the strangest rules which included, hitting any object and pushing it down is disqualification, every ball tat hits the walls is a four, one pitch catches make one out and balls hit outside the room is also out.
Thus started the game, we played for an hour or so, I got tired of laughing at my own bowling skills...I batted pretty ok..considering tat my brother is a good bowler and tat he showed all his skills in making me out,but I still managed to be a good batswoman.
My brother could easily bat considering my poor bowling and fielding skills.So he scored better than me which I struggled to make up for and draw the match.
Thus went a day with fun and cricket inside a room!

Super Star Rajini!

2006-05-01T13:15:00.000-04:00

Super Star Rajini's movies hav always been very interesting, I recently watched RAJA CHINNA ROJA in one of the local channel....Its was one of the movies I liked a lot cos it centered around a few kids.I liked the movie as a kid and watchin it the 'n' th time, I still enjoyed it.
Rajini did a fab job as both a hero and a comedian,and ofcourse,I loved the fights(looked unbelievable yet I enjoyed it as a kid and even now!)...
The movie is a simple one about a family of kids who are brought up by a busy father who lives for his business, who leaves them with a uncaring care taker....the care taker cheats the father and makes rajini act as someone sent by the family's well wisher to take care of the kids...Soon rajini becomes the most loved person(as he really likes the kids and is an embodiment of good virtues) by the family and in the process the old care taker is sent out....In order to take revenge he wants to kill rajini,,,Then the usual fight and bad guy goes to jail and rajini saves the DAY....YAAY I Simply luv these ends..

So I had wonderful time watchin this movie...Rajini sure wove his magic and will keep weaving it! Go Super Star GO!

2006-04-27T10:34:00.000-04:00

This is a post in rememberance of my friend who I lost on this day four years back....

May her Soul Rest In peace!

The No.1 Batsman

2006-04-20T12:29:00.000-04:00

As per ICC rating today, the world's No.1 ODI batsman is none other than Mahendra Singh Dhoni.(:D)...With the completion of the ODI in Abu Dhabi, he has now a batting average of 52.76 and is well above the world second, Ricky Ponting, as of now.

Well I was happy to hear this along with the fact that two more Indians are placed within the top ten batsmen in the world...So this makes three of 10 batsmen on the top as Indians.We r having a good team indeed!!!

The Article.....

Mahendra Singh Dhoni has displaced Ricky Ponting as the top batsman in ODIs in the latest ICC rankings. Dhoni scored 59 in the series leveller against Pakistan at Abu Dhabi, and achieved his best ranking till date. He has had a phenomenal start to his one-day career since making his debut in December 2004, averaging over 52 in 42 matches, at an enviable strike rate of 103

5-1

2006-04-15T11:42:00.000-04:00

India won the TVS cup, they won it in style with a 5-1 in the seven match series..
It was indeed a great show by the Indians and left the England team wounded...For a game(Cricket) tat was founded by the English, the Indians played it in style and perfection.This series had brought new players into the arena and made them new heroes.

ANYWAY WE WON!!!

Fool's day

2006-04-01T04:45:00.001-05:00

Today is April 1st and is called fool's day...So I wanted to read through the newspaper to find the funny things tat can b done today...
Before readin, I warn you, All the news below are absolutely, completely and fully USELESS....AFTER READING this donot scold me!

News clip 1:
Its a magic trick wherein one can fool everbody by makin it look like an egg was put into an unbroken coconut by magic.But actually the egg is put into the coconut throu' a small hole on the coconut. The egg is put into kerosene or somethin to make it elastic.(this is somewat good trick)

News clip 2:

News clip 3:
Some guy in UK is going to probe in to Dog's barks and growls....I wish I had so much time to waste...hehe he

The Good for nothin

2006-03-29T12:11:00.000-05:00

This is the dumb match overview by an E.T...The match began with India losin the toss and the Englis ppl callin the India to bat.(Stupid decision)
Then the Indians came into bat...did a bad show.Some 203 they were all out.
The dumb Englis tot they can easily win(over confidence)...apparam they lost the match romba bore.Super waste pitch,naa adavida waste(I am writin this dumb update na).Bajji got an Apache bike, cos its for the man of the match..

Victory

2006-02-19T11:06:00.000-05:00

This is about the superb victory of India over Pakistan in the Hutch Cup...We won the series in 4-1 lead....Today's match in Karachi was both sweet and bitter.Initially wen I saw the Indian team tat was going to play today I was both shocked and happy.The Biggies in the team were glaringly absent and the team consisted of a very young squad led by an exp captain.On the other side too certain plyers absence was welcoming.I kept telling my brother tat if we can win a match with this squad then it will boost the confidence of our team..
In the begining wen Pak was batting and scoring a lot of runs I sat in the edge of my chair waiting for wickets to fall.When wickets started fallin finally, the damage had already been done.The final score was a staggering 286(cool).
When Indians came out to bat,it began as a very slow game and progressed to b so.When Yuvaraj came into bat,things started to cook up...ppl began running in the field and the ball began crossing the boundary.When Dravid got out,I was both happy and sad.Happy cos he was playing too slow to reach the total and his leavin would let Dhoni in.Sad cos it was yet another wicket and a very experienced one ,lost for the Indians.
But as usual Dhoni stole the show with 4 sixes and 6 fours...the last over alone had 2 of those sixes.Thus the lucky pair(Dhoni and Yuvraj) brought victory to the Indians.Yuvi was both MAN OF THE MATCH an SERIES.
when Dravid was asked about Dhoni and Yuvraj at the end of the match, he said tat,Yuvraj had taken batting to new levels and Dhoni was a spl player with exceptional talents.(hehehe its nice to hear tis)
It was a good show by the Indians....hope this will continue.

It Happened!!!

2006-02-15T23:27:00.000-05:00

It has happened finally!!!Well I had written an article on Dhoni's game on my blog...This article had somehow fallen in the eyes of an E-newspaper,they had picked up a few lines from my aticle and published it there for the article on Dhoni....On top of this they gave my blog url for further reading.
I was taken aback when I came to know of this.......Now whatever I had written has gone International without me making an attempt to do so...I felt funny(I was a little happy)........ but still I wrote this for me and my friends and gives me a funny feeling wen I come to know tat a lot of ppl are reading thru' it..
Well now tat the article is off the server I hope everything will b back to normal...
Like my mom always says ,"keep expecting the worst thing to happen at the least expected time"(hahahaha)

Dhoni rocks

2006-02-13T12:02:00.000-05:00

Dhoni is no rock star, but he rocked today.....This guy played a wonderful game and led the Indian team to victory. I was so happy to see him play when I switched on the TV.What a game he played! wow he left the Pak fielders in a trance...They did not know literally where to field his shots.
The power of his strike was seen in how quickly the balls ran to the boundary.
The Pak fielders where on their toes when Dhoni was at the Striker end. It was simply a superb experience to watch the way the ball flew to every end of the field.I was shouting and clapping for every four he hit "WHAT SHOTS!!!"
At the end of the day he was selected as the MAN OF THE MATCH....what else can u honour our saviour with....President Pervez Musharaff was all praise of DHONI....He specially congratulated him and said that "your hair stlye is good...don't cut your hair"(Just what I think about his hair style)
As usual Dhoni gave that shy smile of his and mixed into our team crowd.When asked about the game they played today, he was praising "little master" and Yuvaraj.
Thus the match ended with India winning and me watching a wonderful game by my fav cricketer......What a game!!!

Yet another diary

2006-01-29T11:22:00.000-05:00

As it has been all these years,I got a new diary for this new year from my dad.I just luv this concept of getting a new diary every year(whether I use it wisely or not is another concept).
The look of the diary is one thing that's very important to me.I always choose the best bound,most artistic and the biggest diary of the lot.After that depending on my resolution that year I begin using it.There are lots of diaries in my house, in which I would have written my name with great care on the front page and the following months will contain sparse data.
This year I wanted to try something new, so I picked a pretty small diary and started using it.I chose it because of the wordings on its covers.For the first time I have chosen to do something absolutely useful with this diary of mine.This year as a part of my resolution, I am planning to use the diary to keep track of what I do during the entire day.

Hope I keep up my resolution and use this diary wisely.

The lost ID

2006-01-25T09:17:00.000-05:00

Hey this is wat happened in my college last week.One of my friends forgot to wear the ID card around the neck like a noose.
Just because tat dumb tag a.k.a noose was not there they(college auth) confiscated the ID.My friend had to pay a fine to retrieve the ID eventhough my friend had been carrying the card without fail.
My college rocks!

Y Watch Cricket?

2006-01-23T07:55:00.000-05:00

You could be wondering whats wrong with me..y am I writing about a cricketer here.
This is not only about Dhoni the cricketer but about the man whom I simply luv watching on screen.I am taking time off today as I missed the game today and could not see him set the field on fire.
When I first heard about his entry into the team as a wicket keeper I thought this would be yet another wicket keeper and he would as usual be of not a great phenomenon in our already gr8 looking team.
Thanks to my brother who called me to show him terrorising the fielders.At the end of that match not only was he famous, I became a mad fan of his.
I just luv tat shy smile of his and ofcourse his gr8 hair style(as far as I am concerned).I almost read about every match nowadays and wait down the batting order just to watch him play.I watch the opponent team play,know y,just get a glimpse of him behind the stumps(hehe).

The day I was absent

2006-01-08T09:26:00.000-05:00

"Wednesday, you did notice my absence,
Sorry for being such an annoyance,
Consider this,my letter for absence,
I hereby promise my presence,
in the class here after yours faithfully,
"Arrogance"."

This is exactly what was passed to me during the class...no changes made..haha

2006-01-02T08:30:00.000-05:00

As I am an engineering student its become a part of my exsistence to define any term given to me first.Thus without even thinking for a second my first post is the definition of the purpose of my blog name "Vettitimes".
The name Vetti has become synonymous with me in the past few years..this is because my mom finds me always wasting time.
Now for the "times" part of the name..well its chumma for numerology purposes..hehe
