Discovering more ....

Hi,
it's really been long since i have written.. close to 20 days !!!! well mainly because i was not in Bangalore for 10 days and partially owing to my exams ......
well , I went to Tiruchirapalli ( a place in tamil nadu ) to spend time with my grandmother and my cousins .... but it turned out that i was mostly spotted at the shops present there , carefully choosing the right dresses and accessories , as all the items were so cheap and were availably at incredibly low prices !!!!!! what more could i have asked for !!!!!!!!!!
But i spent about 8 days time in Karaikudi ( well , it would be wrong to call it city maybe a village would suit better )..... i was there to learn typewriting , for my mother felt that it would enable me to type without seeing .... I have got to admit it's given the feel of it but i would surely needs lots of practice to master it .......One thing that really shocked about the village was the shortage of power supply ..... there is no power for close to 7 hours a day + there would be no power for close to 15 min or so whenever there is strong gust of wind or a heavy downpour .... besides that there is shortage of vegetables too ........... Fortunately for me , it was raining all through the week so , it did not get too sultry but it certainly was humid ........... so the sweat didn't escape me!!!!!!!
Another highlight of the trip was that i traveled all alone , by train to tiruchipalli....... i must admit I was terrified in the beginning and remained awake all night ........and fell into a slumber when i reached there ( it takes about 8 hours to go ) ..... but while coming back it certainly was not so bad but i was still anxious !!!!!!!!!!

I learnt how to travel alone and how to manage without mum around.... It certainly taught me to be more independent , responsible , adjustive person !!!!! But i defenetly will not quit being mischievous and stupid !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so ..... that's it for this time
BYE!!!!!!!

for no reason or ryme

well hello there,
Would like to mention that last week's award ceremony went fantastic ... I got a cash award of RS.1001 .... I was on top of the world , cloud nine !!!!!!!! mum was so proud of me she was telling everyone in the family !!!!!!! otherwise .... my """exams """ are on !!!!!! really boring to go through the same thing again and gain ....
as I was scanning through the newspaper yesterday ... Abhinav bindra had featured in advertisment for samsung , standing near a stylish , supercool television ( didn't register the name ) , and he was felicatated for something too, in karnataka which i feel is such a hype and they are giving a rich and famous guy , more power .. which is so ridiculous .. Vijender and sushil kumar don't hit the headlines for anything ...I understand he won gold for us .. so what ... that definely does not mean that you take him on top of your head and dance ... but that is the problem with us isn't it ???it's really sad to see this .........
So until next time ,,,,,
bye

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

extended weekend .. hurrah !!!!

hi ,
well , the note with which I would like to begin blogging is that i am so happy that we had a holiday today !!! thanks to some communal riots in Orrisa where as they say , innocent Christians are being beaten up , so it had been declared that all catholic schools , college would remain closed for the day !!!! so , again an extended , unexpected weekend !!!

otherwise things are pretty much the same... only thing is that i am so happy to turn 16 on Wednesday !! not that i am super excited and scoring days off( as i was used to doing when i was12 or even 14 ) but want to explore why do they say " sweet 16 " !!

well ,Spanish is getting a whole lot tougher and i believe i will have to devote more time to it .....

well , that's it this time ! until next time ,
adios
