The MOTHER of all JOY (",)

If JSSLC were a woman, I’d like to imagine her as being a VERY pregnant woman carrying 75 children in her womb. Since she is a unique woman her gestation period is for a period of 5 years. She is due to deliver on 30th of April. That in legal parlance would make me a person who is en ventre sa mere. On 30th of April I’ll bite at the umbilical cord and run in the opposite direction of my college never to come back. (Except of course to write my final semester exams and attend the viva voce)

The count down officially begins at midnight. The joy of knowing that I’m almost out of here has put me in such a cheerful mood. I even agreed to help a couple of people who in the past have been very mean to me. Doing this made me happier. Nothing can please me more than the confused look on people’s faces when I agree to help them. When I agree to help them, there is a startled look on their face and confusion soon gets to them and they start wondering what I could possibly gain from helping them? *snigger* The look on their face is priceless. But what follows further brings me MORE joy. They can’t figure out my “ulterior motives”, so they suddenly decide that they don’t need my help. :D (If only I had known this was the easiest way to weasel out of helping people I don’t really want to help.)

What more could happen today to fill my cup of joy? I got 5 books on my must read list. Hooray!!!

Google Pixel XL - Review

Image
I had been meaning to change my phone for over a year and it was then that this phone had caught my eye – The Google Pixel XL. I had read so much about it. Found that a lot of people that I am surrounded by had no intentions of getting it. Here is the thing, my sole reason for investing in a gadget has to do with the following: ·         Its price should be within a certain range i.e it should not burn a hole in my wallet. ·         It should at least be guaranteed that the product will be receiving software support for a minimum of 3 years. ·         It should have excellent user interface to make life easy and be a tool for communication as well as relaxation. ·         It should have a good camera. ·         Its accessories must be easily available in the market. It’s with the help of this list that I short list...

Hey Little Girl... Part I

The little girl aped her elder brother. To her, he was the coolest dude that existed. She was the kid in school who was spoken to because she was so and so’s sister. As a kid she was extremely naïve. Her brother was the quizzer, the topper, the teacher’s pet, the social guy and everybody liked him. She on the other hand was the brat, the swimmer, a teacher’s nightmare, anti social and didn’t want to be liked by anyone. They were polar opposites of each other. Her brother - the witty charmer and She, the *shrugs shoulders* and very impolitely leaving conversation kind of person. Perhaps… the younger version of her envied the ease with which her brother was able to make friends and be at the core of everything that was happening in school. The fact that they were so different and studied in the same school eventually led to teachers constantly comparing them. It wasn’t anything she couldn’t handle. But imagine a little girl always being chastised and all sermons ending with, “why ...

The Journey

Last weekend was amazing. It began by me traveling solo from Mysore to Madras. I plonked my bags at my best friend's place. Her roomie, she and I headed to Mahabalipuram where we saw the famed sculptures carved out of single boulders. The carvings are pretty intricate and the sight is very pretty but the highlight of the visit was a monkey. While we were leaving the place we saw a troop of monkeys and one of them immediately took a fancy to my friend’s roomie. Now this girl is scared of almost every animal. It became very obvious to her that the monkey was eying the bottle in her hand. She threw it at the monkey. The monkey picked it opened the bottle and gulped the juice and looked so pleased! It was a sight. It does not seem hilarious in print but it was incredibly funny. But before going to Mahablipuram we stopped at the Crocodile Park where I learnt to hold a baby crocodile and also a python. I actually felt the crocodile gulp when I was holding it. The place ...
