Ghul jaa Cheese

During my initial days in hostel, I was a goody-goody girl, who will get up at 5.30(irrespective of the time I sleep) in the morning and have a shower, get ready by 7.30 and go to office by 7.45(Enjoyed the morning walk). Everyone should have a look at Chennai city between 6.30 to 7.00. And unlike Coimbatore where most of the shops open as early as 5 or 6AM. Here, any shop opens only after some 8.30 AM. Lazy ppl:-(

Life has changed now. I get up at 7.30(Keeping on postponing the alarm for every 5 minutes right from 6.30). And will sleepily sit over there in bed until my roommate Swapna leaves at 8.15 for her work. Then slowly get ready, have breakfast, and start for work with Priya at some 10.15. By the time, we reach our office at 10.30 AM, Sun showers its full affection on us.

Again, after work, we reach hostel at some 8.30 PM, just to start a group discussion of everyone's day in office. Bhavani, Kalyani, Swapna, Ramya, Bhargavi and Priya torture me & Nirali by talking in Telugu.Now I have ended up learning a bit of Telugu. Only that I don't use appropriate forms of verbs and using "Agrinai" for persons and "Uyarthinai" for things. Naakku telugu baagu thelusu.

Me & my floormates(first floor) sit in the TV Room(TV room is present in the first floor) watching Hindi movies on Friday and Saturday nites - the funniest movie we watched was Hindi "Khushi"(after watching this, we felt Tamil "Khushi" was far more better), as only mega serials run in the TV, other days. 58, 36, 33 and 31 r the nos we remember even in sleep as they r the channel nos of Zoom, Zee Music, DD National and Sahara TV respectively. These 2 nites(Friday & Saturday) can b typically called the days of First floor ppl. The favourite food of ours is nothing other than the great "bread and jam"(from Nilgiris or Food World), whcih we will b eating at any hr of the nite. Everyday, somebody will come fwd & take up the task of spreading the jam(sometimes, we bring in Cheese or Butter too) on bread for others to eat.There will b an unanimous vote for Food World bread from our floor which is really soft.

Here, I shud mention abt my adventure:-(. I like butter & Jam with bread. One Saturday afternoon, I got the urge to try out cheese - nobody told me I shud get "Cheese Spread". I bought some brand's cheese(Milkman I think), which was actually mean to be cut into small slices and had to b sandwiched with bread. Instead, I thought it will melt like butter. So I applied on the bread & was sitting there(with my mouth watering) for the cheese to melt(Ghul ja my dear Cheese), in vain.

Why to look at the annoying things?

This is a forward I got.

A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to partake of the festivities and celebrations. A wonderful time was had by all.
The bride was gorgeous in her white wedding gown and the groom was very dashing in his black tuxedo. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.
A few months later, the wife comes to the husband with a proposal: "I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage." she offered.
"Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together."
The husband agreed. So each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other.They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote down what they came up with.
The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists.
"I'll start," offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it. Enough to fill 3 pages, in fact. As she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husbands eyes.
"What's wrong?" she asked. "Nothing" the husband replied, "keep reading your list."
The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over top of it.
"Now, you read your list and then we'll talk about the things on both of our lists." She said happily.
Quietly the husband stated, "I don't have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the way that you are. I don't want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn't want to try and change anything about you."
The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.
IN LIFE, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don't really have to go looking for them.
We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise.
Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us, and see the wonderful things before us?

"B" "L" "A" "C" "K"

Black was as good as white, or wait, is it Black is as good as Black?After a lot of rave reviews and the hype, which added to my frustration of not getting Black tickets(I mean white tickets for the movie "Black"), I ended up in Sathyam yesterday. The movie went on for 2 hrs & I have to tell a few things which I liked a lot in the movie.
1. The way Mitchell dances - as she has been blind, she wouldn't have known how a gud dance will actually look. But I thought the movie also made a point that dance is something which u don't learn by seeing others, but one that comes out from heart and expresses itself by the movements of the body.
2. The plain face of Mitchell which appears like a blank white paper but actually tells out a lot when her sister requests her not to spoil her engagement party.
3. The small girl who acted as Mitchell in young age
4. And last but not the least Mitchell's mom.
BLACK WAS WHITE.
