First of all I would like to thank all my friends, my fellow bloggers, family and many more people who wished me on my b'day :-)
Well one day changes your age by one number snatching away the smaller number u r currently holdin :-) At certain stages in your life you could be happy on growing old.. at certain stage u r lil shy to tell ur age out.. and over a couple of yrs later .. u just stop counting :-D...not that u dont want to...just that u dont want to hurt others by telln them..sm of us might shock others.. sm might end up shocking ourselves ;-)..lol...
Another strange thing.. i have noticed.. least for me.. I have only a handful of them who have been wishing me consistently over years.. but there are some people who might b wishing u this yr.. but over yrs.. u might lose touch with them.... for all those who still remem my spl day but cud not reach me... I still realize ur gud wishes are always with me..n I wud thank all those ppl for all those untold wishes :-).... (i do miss hearn ur wishes in ur own voices though)
Strange as I already said...one day gains the big prize of one year to your age :-)... jus that unique date is different for all of us.. so there are 365 magic days ..each one of us havn diff magical dates.. but just one day in the year gains all of us an additional year.. that's jan 1st ....romba kadi pottuteno..
Once again.. thank you for all ur wishes.. me esc for another wild party ;-)

Getting into the blog world helped me in one time when I felt really lonely. It brought to me a whole new world of friends. F.R.I.E.N.D.S. from different parts of the world. Some of the new acquitances helped me in getting to know a lot of other old lost contacts too :-)
I really enjoy and wait for updates in some of the bloggers blogs. This is not to race anybody else and to post a comment but just cos I really enjoy their blogs..One such blog is murali's . The first time when I read his blog I misread Manapathippu as Manathavippu...but I really feel Manathavippu makes more sense. His voice is really amazing. Their is some magic in SPB's voice. This guy tries to bring in that magical effect. He sings malayalam songs too. Though I dont understand the language, Im one of the admirer of that nasal lingo (jus the lingo??? ;-))....In some songs he brings in the effects of Yesudas and in some it is SPB. I was amazed to learn the guy's interest in music without a formal education in music.
This post is specially dedicated to his magical voice : Murali every time we hear your voice.. it is not just a Manapathippu ( not just a memory note we make).. but it is a Manathavippu (some stirred up emotions) which only magical voices and music can bring on any individual.

For people who know me pretty well or rather for people who read my blog regularly, Im sure you all must be aware that I love to have friends and get really excited when Im with them..
I got a chance to get in touch with 3 of my school mates today. Got emails from 2 of them.. its been almost 9 yrs and the third one, I got a chance to talk to her after 7 yrs... wow... its such a wonderful feeling you get when you talk to them.. something runs inside your body which makes u really really jump with energy...transforms your voice into a charged music...wow...its so unexplainable... I really have no words to explain it out.. but would love to discuss this with a neuro to find out.. why our body goes through such emotions.... Am so damn excited to hear all the missing year stories about their lives and all the new things happening to them. Most of them are in the transition of their marital status, some of them are relocating cities or even countries and some of them are hopping jobs. The best part is that, the missing years have cultivated more fondness in our hearts and makes us recall our forgotten faces and names of our fellow class mates as though we are about to win a million $$$ if we recall their names....
Also .. late in the night.. got a chance to catch up with another friend after almost 8 months..though our conversation started with a bitter note over yahooo... we gradually... tried to fill the gap mutually..we did talk a lil n fight a lil or rather tease a lil ....
anyways.. after a long time.. I was happy to be able to communicate to some of my friends.
Also, I still have something lacking.. behing the back of my mind.. am still searching for some other friends of my past.. whom I would love to catch up with ... but have no idea how to locate them :-)

Back on track !!!
We all have so many choices in front of us for so many different things in our lives. Starting from the tooth brush to toilet tissues to almost everything we have so many different choices to pick up from. This portrays active competition. This also has brought an enormous growth to visual media and ad-world. Different thinking and peculiar yet interesting ideas from the young minds of ad film makers to show the best of their product to this world. Many of us would love to watch the commercials played on the TV rather than the actual Soap. Well one thing is we cannot directly attack a product's name in India whereas in US we can actually do that.
Now what are the other things that we shop for and find having so many choices? Well for sure, your field of education is somethign you can shop and choose from. This again has been limited with the COUNSELLING policy in India ( Tamil nadu esp). Again, how many of us get our choices to choose from when we have job offers ??$$$$$$?? More than the profile on which we want to work it is the sign in between the Q marks that change the path of our careers as we move on.
Again another thing we can choose for.. is our friends. We might meet so many different kinds of people when we move from home for work or study. Not everybody can be nerdy to spend all their time alone. There are still normal people like me out there to hunt for good friends. Talking to anybody and everybody in an amicable manner is a habit you can develop. It is not tough if you are really not so picky. At the same time, you really dont feel like sharing your personal life or problems or ideas with any random person. Human nature is to pick and choose the person they are most comfortable with to become friends with. This usually takes some time..maybe a few hours to a few days to a few weeks depending on the nature of the individual
When there are so many choices out there, we really find ourselves needlessly spending a lot of time thinking and analysing wht to choose and shop for...be it for friends... to studies .... to job.. to car.. to apartments for rent or buying to almost everything......
Im just wondering how many of the choices you make can be changed when you really think you made a wrong choice the first time???
The more confused you are the more you wish you were as happy as this cute one is out here !!!!!!!!!!!
CAN YOU BE MORE HAPPIER THAN THIS CUTE ONE ?????

I know it has been quite sometime I posted some of my actual blabbering. I have been posting movie review and collage for the past 2 posts. But well, looks like I have attracted quite a few females to visit n comment.. thanks to surya :-).... Okay.. now for yet another 'sensitive' blabbering.. here i go...
Well..love is in the air.. as we are approaching yet another V day :-). I realized that it was the month of feb the day Starbucks filled its store with goodies in pink..( i always associated love with RED...looks like starbucks thinks different :-P))...
If I recall till the year 2000, I dont think V day was celebrated this elaborately in India, but now I think it is given more importance than in US.
Do we really need one day to celebrate LOVE? I dont think this is necessary. I thught if you love someone a LOT.. all 365 -24/7 should be celebration of LOVE.... (enna da.. naan sollaradhu seri thaaney???;-)) 
Couples have their own special dates ( the day they proposed..) and married ones have their own anniversary's to recall n celebrate which is kinda unique for them.. Then.. why do we need a Special day? Is it true that lot of people wait till this day to propose?? I dnt thnk so.. If you dont propose at the right time n date you might miss the bus.. well in that case.. y wud anyone want to wait till this ufdate????
Next thing is.. Do everyone who love really end up in marriage? Then why do people go for such relationships for the heck of it? Just the fact that you dont have someone to gift or get gift from on this V day is not a good reason to fall in love. I think love for a person who does not belong to your family is something which has to be unique and has to be true.
One last question which haunts me is... people who do not end up marrying the person they love.. do they really forget their past love?? How true are they to their spouse's in claiming that they have forgotten their past passion.. and HOW ON earth are they able to do it?? This is quite an unsolved puzzle for me.. when I observe people around me.... Sometimes I feel we act more like wild animals rather than people who have the capacity to think rationally :-))
Well to all the couples out there who are planning swt surprises.. wishing you all a happy Valentine's day.. and good luck to get married to the ones u love... to all married people out there.. good luck with your long life together.. n to all singles out there... Wait for your chance to be on the other side of the grass.... which looks greener now.. until u cross the river to be on that side and be envious of your single junior's :-))

To all the indians whose complaints have been heard..here comes the shortest movie in Hindi movie history( i think) : 1 hr n 20 mins is RANG DE BASANTI
Well I dont want to leak out the story but it is a different story which really provokes a thought among all of us about our country and the present scenario.
We have more engineers, doctors and uncountable number of software engineers...whts lacking.... we need more IAS, IPS and other high government posts to be held by youngsters who could make our INDIA a better place :-)
Nice thought which is told in an interesting perspective n a MUST see movie :-)
A beginning of these thought provoking movies have already given birth to a new political party formed by IITians "Paritrana"....HATS OFF TO THOSE GUYS !!! (I would support them if they would need any sort of help :-))

FRIENDS ARE WELCOME
RELATIVES ONLY BY APPOINTMENT
This was a souvenir wall hanger I saw recently....
When I read these lines, I felt as though for the first time there was someone out there who feels the same as me. No offense against being close to relatives, but you are better off with your friends than relatives is my arguement. You might be very close to one of your relatives and will eventually find yourself searching for a friend in them rather than the RELATIONSHIP......this is bitter to accept that you prefer friends to relatives but it is true and am not ashamed to accept it...
well after a longggggggggggg time.. I got to talk to one of my friend last night...(raz it was)......lost my sleep...came to office later than I actually planned to...eyes are burning and red...tired cos of the lack of sleep.. but wht the hell.... an hour or more over the phone with a friend... actually made me forget... all this stress and found myself :-) grinning... stupidly on my way to office as I recalled my conversation with her the previous night... nice warm heart huggin memories of college life...makes u smtimes realize that you have grown old out of college... people change.. for good ( hopefully!!!).... Though I spoke to my Best friend....it is true that even if you were to catch up with someone you have hardly spoken during your college times.. u find yourself warming up with them....

Yes.. for the second time in my life I got a chance to visit yet another beautiful place covered by snow and was totally taken by its beauty. I have absolutely no words to describe the scenary that caught my breath. When all of them were busy eating Pongal versions at home, I was at the top of 8000 feet looking down at the beauty of the surrounding of Whistler village and whistler creek mt.It was a great day for me...I really enjoyed the whole day after a longggggggggg time.....went skiing in the morning, went to the top of the mountains in the afternoon to be amazed by the beauty beneath it, had a mangolian lunner (lunch+dinner) with a bunch of my friends and later....went wild.....;-))

We all start each coming new year with celebrations and good wishes...with every coming year.. we do grow old..and when the year comes to an end a common comment we hear among all of us... was how the year was for each one of them... good!!! bad!$@$@#~ best:-)
This is with every year throughout your life.. whether you are in school.. or college.. or job.. or retired.......
But there are certain times in your life which forms ageless impressions deep inside your heart which you would refer to as "MOMENTS". These may be precious to you coz they may contain people you love :-) or mischievous instances which brings a naughty smile when you recall them... or time which you would have frozen and would be hanging in your heart as a picture with the nail digging too deeeeeeeepppp....... Whenever you are reminded of some such times, you either wish you can go back to that time to live it again...over and over... and overrrrrrr......Every human at some point wishes he could turn back time........
Every time i hear the boys from the back of the street singin.. "but i wish i could turn back time.. impossible as it may seem".. i realize.. how true it is.. how unconsciously we always yearn for those moments to breeze back into our memory...bringin moistness into our vision and a painful pinch in our heart which desperately wishes to go back in time......
some of my instances...those naughty school days, mischeives done when me n my best frnd was left 'home alone', those.. chasing the boys...like 'kanda naal mudhal' raatchasi....., those inquisitive adolescent days...whr u talk in hushes..., those studious school days...(not missn the studious part...bt the fun i had even during my revision exams time.......HMMM WHAT AM I GOING TO DO THIS YEAR THAT TIME OF THE YEAR>>>FEB), those college days.. man....the people you meet in college......;-)... ragging, friendship, sighting, farewell, autographs.... everything.. brings a sweet pain into my hrt..and my lips involuntarily utter : BUT I WISH I CUD TURN BACK TIME..IMPOSSIBLE AS IT MAY SEEM !!!!!!!

End of another year....Some of them are working hard as it is the financial close and last week of this year 2005...some of them are chasing rats as their clients are all on vacation.. so they ESC by afternoon to do the cat work ;-)
Lets not go into the stats of the number of crimes reported this year but lets just discuss few tips about being more careful.. esp...for women who travel alone :-)
1. Always carry your cell phone with you. If you are in US, kindly store 911 as speed dial in one another number other than '9'. This way, you might just press some number hard enough that it can directly be connected to 911 and also would not get the attention of your attacker if you dont press the number 9. For those who are in India, kindly store some emergency contact number in ur cell phone (your personal contact) or also 100
2. Whenever you travel alone, let someone know - ur room-mate or friend or relative (parents), when and where you are going and what time you would be back.
3. Even if you are travelling to a new place, familiarize yourself a lil about the possible routes you are going to take and also the nearby locations which might be having some crowd even during the wee hours ( Mapquest or google maps and other Trip planner sites for your State is good enough). This might take some extra minutes but is always wise to do it.
4.Carry "Pepper" spray or chilli powder with you at all times esp when you travel alone ( can throw your make up powders from your kitty bag if you lack space).Knifes and other sharp items may be prohibited due to security issues in some places and is not a good idea to carry them :-)
5. Never encourage a stranger too much. Even if someone would offer rides :-), say NO to them. It is illegal to offer rides to pedastrians in the States. Do not get allured to the extra friendly gestures even from people of either Sex.
6. Do not look scared. Even if you are really scared, dont ever show it on your face. This gives the attacker more courage. The more bold you look, they will think twice...This is not practically possible at all times... but TRY....
7. Never hesitate to report what you see. If you see something or someone disturbing, always try to report it. Do not think it is not your headache. You never know how harmful it might turn out to be cos of your lack of a minute to report :-)
Eppavum...thuru thurunu .... ungala suthi irukkum atmosphereaa observe pannunga...kuninja thalai nimiraama nadakka thevai illai....inga ungaloda adakkamum odukkamum thevai illai...
These are some of the tips I could think of. More suggestions are welcome. Not only girls, guys who travel alone also need to be more careful.
Last but not the least, the new contacts you make always not to be trusted toooooooooooooooo much..(esp in a new place ex. when you move to a new city)... they can turn out to be ass holes. Never discuss too much of your personal life with new anyone unless you know them realllllllly well.... this is specially for all the girls...( avanunga/avaluga vidura kadhai... indha kaathula vaangi andha kaathula joot vidanum....never should reply from your mouth ;-))
