Flagship.

Ok. I am almost there. I have barely nine months before (-to use ugly clichés-) turning over a new leaf, adorning the black gown and bearing adult responsibilities.

....

But as ridiculous as it may sound, I hate this profession- in theory, in practice and as (unfortunately) my only source of income right now. I can comfortably say that we belong to a species which only talks, talks and talks regardless of the component of listening. Plus, we also write in a very unusually difficult way adopting foreign words and long sentences. We also hate having things plain and simple- we like it long and complicated. And with these, we think we are gifted. Strange, isn’t it?

Hmm however for lack of options, I have to stick to it to make some money before I can start exploring. And while I am exploring, I would like to own an orchid farm, continue to learn dancing and spread the charm of Bharathanatyam around the world, build my own coffee shop, design clothes, possess the ideal weight with curves (!), travel to places and try cuisines, educate at least ten people, meet Ilaiyaraja, earn yoga and two other languages (of which Telugu will be one), grow long hair and have a family with two children. At the end, I would like to retire like anybody else.

P.S. “Flagship”- because all this would make me feel like commanding one. :)

Its that time of the trimester again!

Four exams. Numerous slides (I haven't bothered counting). Around 300 pages of Priyasha on different subjects (Thank god for her!!). And abominable abdominal cramps. Six whole days to catch Chennai Mail and escape to home. It is funny how I crave for a million things at this point like my mom's vathhal kozhambu rice with ghee and applam (which I used to complain about a few years back!), my grandmom's manga pachhadi and my chithhi's aloo parathas (I have had it only once and I fell in love with it).

Then I want to hop on to my TVS-Excel and roam around aimlessly in K.K.Nagar with Vidhya and go to my terrace just to gaze at the stars.

I want to chat with my mama (knowing it will end in a huge argument with eventually one of us storming out of the room) and I want to read Kungumam for ugly news about Tamil films and politics.

I want to lay on the oonjal in paati house and swing by listening to my grandmom chant vishnu sahasranamam or sudharshanashtakam- this restores all my peace and energy even though I am not one bit spiritual or god-fearing.

I also want to go to my dance class just to listen to Ambika Akka sing and talk to us in the sweetest voice ever and then have lime tea with Poorna, Sandhya, Nithya, Janani, Swapna and GK- not to forget Bharati aunty teasing me about how much I talk.

I want to have a long telephone conversation with Gow, Aishu and Sindu- update them about these four years and renew the almost-lost friendship.

I want to have a proper chat/conversation with dad and mom about what I want to do with my life (more like ask them what I should be doing with it) over a nice three course meal on a not-so-sunny Sunday afternoon.

And then, knowing it is not going to happen for the next four months, I badly want to go around Chennai with Varun the usual way- go shopping in Kalpastree, City Center, Spencer's (have a fight in each of these places) and have a nice lunch at Copper Chimney (with Varun's favourite cream of tomato soup and my favourite sauteed tandoori gobi) and end it with my hazelnut frappe and his dark tempation (amazing chocolate cake served with whipped cream and vanilla ice cream) at Barista.

I WANT THEM ALL NOW. NOW NOW NOW! :(

Merrily Merrily!

An awesome awesome awesome day!

My best friend's birthday today, opened with the good news that she is now just visa-short of going to the US (NY, baby!) to join a fully sponsored Masters course in Animation! This is something she has been reaching after for a long while and all her work paid off! Hats off, Vids!

BJP lost. Thankfully, I don't have to change my wardrobe to only salwar kameezes and we can now think about living in a much less dangerous/hostile environment. Also we would now be living in a more constitutionally valid atmosphere and a more secular India. I am not really bothered about the rest- whether Congress won or Vijaykanth did!

Also hooray!! CSK won the match against Mumbai. What a close one! Hayden is my new super star! They are in the semis (unofficially but who cares!)! I was so happy to see Malinga's expression in the end. ****wicked slimy grin****

All said, it was a brilliant day. And I loved it! :)

P.S. Somebody please start suspecting Malinga's bowling or rather throwing! He throws the ball here and there and everywhere. Who calls that bowling, dude?!

P.P.S. I am craving for lasagna (its been donkey's years!)! So Monday shall be the lasagna day.
