Hi,
I have been looking forward to writing this week's blog ..
I would like to comment on how institutions these days leave students to take up the responsibility of going(traveling - to and fro ) to participate in an event but are overwhelmed with bliss the moment they return after bagging a prize . Well ,that's exactly what happened with me today ... I needed to go to an inter collegiate competition and NOBODY bothered to give me the address of the venue until 21:00 hrs yesterday( even tried asking for the address at least a 100 time before but i presume that they were too busy to share it ) ... well and to add to all to the drama I discovered that the place was somewhere in the extreme south of Bangalore and the traveling time would be at least an hour and a half presuming light traffic in the city .... I was filled with rage at the end of it ... I was on the verge of quitting when my mom suggested taht i take the car and let my brother come by himself from school ....
I went for the debate ( topic : India's performance at the Beijing Olympics was satisfactory ) and the sad part was that I didn't even win anything , besides the saying " participation is more important than winning" , I was personally very upset with the whole thing . This feeling was so strange today ... maybe after all the pains taken to travel and not winning anything let me down . The fact remains that the other girl who came with me took home a trophy !!!!!!!!!!!

OH !!!!! and I almost forgot that tomorrow I have been called by my school to receive an award ( or so i believe ) for securing the highest in "commercial applications" in the X th ICSE board exams ( I got a 96% ) !!!!!!!!!!! I am annoyed that my dad's not here to see it ( neither was he there for my graduation day ) !!!!!!! well , maybe that's why they say " every dark cloud has a silver lining "

so , until next time
BYE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hello,
The only favourite times of the day for me are at the gym and the second writing my blog .
this time of course I would like to mention that that i came across 3people ( well , not all are natural ) who celebrate their birthdays in september , 1 is my eng teacher , and a classmate of mine which i would like to mention specially because she is a physically challenged girl who tries her best to reamin a normal girl , she lost her right arm as it was seriously electrocuted and i think it has been replaced with an artificial one . Well I truly saw what JOY is when i saw the girl's face when the class broke into a surprise birthday song for her and the glee on her face when she got a hug from my teacher . although they say god balances the complicated equation of life , I wonder where the balance is for her . This moment , i am sure , will be a momery of a lietime for her ....
AND.................. the third person to celebrate their special day was none other than the radio station " radio indigo ' which turned 2 today ... I celebrated the day by listening to english songs all day !!!!!!!!! Now that's what i call celebration

So ... hasta luego ,
adios

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Hi ,
well this week has been really plain and normal . The fun was that i finally ate an icecream without guilt as i really worked out 'extra' at the gym. It was such a BLISS eating it !!!..
Another thing was that I finished my spanish begineers course and got my certificate too . It really was thrilling to learn a new language . I intend to remember the language by listening to Spanish podcasts ." Coffee break spanish " is a podcast that is short , simple and gradually introduces a new language . The best thing is that they explain the pronounciations and one picks up the speaking skill of the language really quickly . the site is www.coffeebreakspanish.com
Another thing is that I put up a poster "banning plastic bags" at the supermarket in our complex . I consider it my first step to making people aware that global warming is slowly burning us up . The sad thing is that vey few people realise the gravity of situation. They are too "BUSY " to say no to a plastic bag .

As i write a breaking news is coming in that there have been serial blasts in Delhi . There have been several people injured and about 20 feared dead ( that's what teh news tells us ) . it's such a shame about it happening in the national capital . It underlines the fact of how close terrorism is to our homes . How we need to survive in this cold , unsafe world .
Well, i have got hooked on to Dan Brown's "digital fortess ' . It seems me as an interesting book with a nice, catchy story that keeps me glued to it .
OK , Hasta luego
adios

Hi ,
It's really nice to write in again .
First of all i would like to say that I had a wonderful time on my birthday ,with lots of wishes pouring on from friends and family members . mum, dad and my brother of course presented me with a 8 GB ipod and i don't know if it's a coincidence or something but for some reason my 1 GB ipod has just stopped working . the ipod is simply marvelous and has very interesting features and i particularly liked the " cover flow ".
To add to the bliss we were celebrating ' ganesha chaturti ' which is the day lord ganesha was born , hence in celebration of this people do prayers ( puja ) prepare sweets and the decorate the idol of god and immerse the idol in a lake or a river after 3 days. lord Ganesha is prayed to before starting anything new .

I am really anxious to take up my Spanish exam tomorrow . It really has been a wonderful experience learning the language , though i still have tons to learn

so , asta luega ,( until next time )
adios
