This is how my day is literally pushed....every single day....I get up in the morning and just have time to get ready for college...so am not really thinking when i get ready...Then,time to board the bus...i read a book or simply gaze out or talk to my friend...Once i reach college,it's those last minute enquiries about assignments and records to be submitted on that day...Once classes start at nine,I wait for the break at ten-forty to stretch myself and have a word or two with my friends...when the break is over,i can't wait for lunch..again to relax(and of course,to eat...),then it's the next ten min break am waiting for...then finally for college to end at four...Then it's again time for the bus journey with my book or a chat with my friend...Back home,I slowly eat while watching Craig's "Reach out"...Then time to do record work or observation work or assignments....(there always is something to do)...This is how each day of my life is getting wasted!!!!
I just realised that am not doing anything worthwhile,or anything that i enjoy doing....Now,i've charted a plan to do more things...things that i hould feel happy about when i look back to my past on a later date...hope it works and hope i'm not just another human being serving no purpose here....

A local train journey...
I travel quite a lot these days in our local trains(my college being ner tambaram)...and this is one of my experiences in the last journey i had(around three weeks back) and i remembered it just now...It would have been another 40 min trip from tambaram to kodambakkam...but everything that disgusts me happened on this single trip...
First of all,it started with me getting onto a running train(really!and this was my first time and as the laws in physics would have it...i almost fell off due to inertia(atleast,that's wat i think it is!)
Wat's the big deal?Yeah,right,it didn't stop just there...
I g0ot a seat in facing the direction opposite to that of the train's and i would have puked(i have that problem) if I hadn't got the opposite seat in the next stayion...so far so good....There was this lady sitting next to me and she was eating a carrot....ok,that's her mouth...but once she was done with it,she just threw the remaining part under our seat!!!As if that wasn't enough,a few students got in at pallavaram... they were having lays(it always hasto do something with food ;))...they got the lasrt powder all over their hands and wanted to wash their hands...the could have got up an washed near the entrance but thy chose to lean all over me and pour the water out of their water bottles...when they realiosed that their efforts were futile,they chose to wipe their hands(as if they couldn't have decided that in the beginning itself)...the lady opposite me spat out of the window!! YUCK>...limits exceeded....
I decided it was time to get up from that place and stand near the entrance away from these people who got on my nerves!!I tell you,it really wasn't my day...There was a lady selling chikku and the lady next to me wanted to buy some(atleast wanted to buy...i thought)...but no.She wanted to taste as well!!!So she got the fruit from the vendor,got it squashed all over her hand,ate it,said it was nice nd sweet,and de3cided not to buy it on hearing the price!My God!She could have asked for the price even before tasting the fruit!As if this was not enough,she threw the seeds inside the train itself!!!I really wanted to yell at her-after all,she was standing next to the entrance!Then there was this lady who got in at the mambalam station.She hd her hands full of shopping bags and was balancing a cup of some masala sundal or something...Of all the places she could have taken in that compartment,she came and stood besi9de me,pressed between two of us (probably for balance) and was eating away happily...and wat a smell! I can't stand the smell of garlic taht was quite raw...and here she was...Thankfully,Kodambakkam was the next station-I got down,now I,ve decided to give the otyher compartments a try and avoid the ladies compartment next time.....I just want to check if even males can be like that!!

Another war!
To those of you who read my previous blog,you don't have to tell me anything!!I know it's pathetic!!!! But i guess we will not discuss it anymore as i have already decided to write anything i want to say at that moment.....
It's a long long time since i wrote anything,so i don't have much to write mainly because i can't remember any interesting event or topic i wanted to write on....
It's been a long holiday for me...wat with me bunking two days of college and now sitting at home for another 3 days because of the bandh...Atleast our unit tests are postponed(or even cancelled :) ....but most unlikely!!!:()
This rally to be held today is to stop the war in srilanka (i don't know how the govt. comes up with these protests when the war is almost over and the ltte are on the losing side!!).I knew that a war has been raging for a very long time in that small country but didn't know much about the intricacies...
The srilankan tamils were treted like slaves,they were not given a right to vote and were discriminated and treated like outlaws...Just like every other story ends,the sinhalese lost their limits and the tamilians rose against them in protest...Initially there were several tamiklian civilian groups workiing for this cause,but being humans they had their internal clashes and the LTTE(Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam) emerged victorious...This clash continued in the subsequent years and things grew from bad to worse in the late eighties...Everything acceptable upto this point...India decided to intervene and bring about peace in sri lanka....this was followed by the Indian army sent to the country...They were called the Indian Peace Keeping Force...India meant well,but this only worsened the situation with the LTTE thinking that their demands may not be met without violence,what with their arms and ammunition hideouts being found by the IPKF....The sinhalese too thought that a third member was interfering and causing more havoc....Result:Rajiv Gandhi was killed by a suicide bomber belonging to the LTTE...
If the govt. had really been against the war,they would haveheld thes protests a little earlier...that is my personal opinion...
Well,things really need to change in our country....corrupt and selfish politicians disgust me....am sure most of us Indians feel the same way,yet none of us educated people really stand up except talk(me included)....Of course with IITians entering politics,there is a change....A streak of light...HOPE!!!
