This is probably stale news,but i came across this piece of news only today while browsing the net for something else...Baby Yakubov,at his home in Russia,has old hunch backed grandmas and school kids alike lining up to catch a glimpse of him...Why?Because the baby shows a verse from the holy Koran every few days..and the verse,in Arabic is clearly legible and appears from the latest episode!Around 2000 people out of the 20 million Islamic population of Russia are crowded around the pink brick house of Yakubov to watch the baby producing the holy verses!
Well,well! How do you explain that? Experts in science and dermatologists have confirmed that it is the skin itself that's turning dark with the appearance of the verse! And,no jokes!
The baby has high fever before the berses appear...that is the indication for the appearance of the Arabic verses.....Unbelievable!

What a brat!!!
Now i'm twenty.... I take certain decisions of my own, choose to do what i like and i'm given quite a lot of freedom to do what i like...Thanks to my parents,aunts and uncles and grandparents....But this has not been the case with my cousin.She happens to be the elder of the only two grandchildren in the family and i should say she's had to take the brunt of the growing years of parents....Yeah,i said it right...I think parents grow with their children,gain experience from them...learn to take up responsibilities and basically learn the art of parenting... :P (Serious!!!).
And we are a very good example!
Here are a no. of examples...When she completed her twelfth board exams,she planned to go out with her friends..watch a movie ....and a lunch,maybe...And here i was rolling on the floor,sobbing for her to take me along too!And parents!You know how they are....She was advised to never leave a younger kid behind at home and go out to have a good time...And there i was,smiling away,tagging along behind her.Little did i understand the extent to which i would make her uncomfortable! After all,a younger sis is a lot of responsibility...This was repeated when she wanted to watch a movie with her friends at home on a quiet afternoon...And it happened to have content that was definitely too much for a twelve year old...But ya,not too vulgar for a nineteen year old....I had to go out with my dad somewhere...But again there i was whining to hang out with the older girls.But this time,my dad decided that the movie was definitely not for me... (But if it had been a different movie,she would definitely have had to listen to long sermon!).There was a round table conference held with the elders of the family if she wanted to treat her friends at a big hotel("not the normal canteen and cold drinks...." they felt),when she wanted a cell phone of her own and subsequently when she talked for hours on end into it and when she stayed at a friend's place for more than two hours....
Thank god.... Parents don't remain that way...Now,my dad is not worried even if i call him up to stay the night at a close friend's place...Birthday treats have become a common feature these days..So there is not a second question asked when i want to treat my friends..i have a cell phone of my own(Infact i got when i was younger!)
And after all this inner realisation you would think i stopped being a brat!No!!!! A year and a half back i wanted to accompany her to a friend's wedding that took place in village...Just to watch all the fun! And nobody protested! Now when i think back to all this,I've probanly spoiled several memorable and enjoyable moments for her...But i should say,there has not been a single day she's turned a face at me,nor has she pointed out to the elders of the family that i'm being allowed to do a lot more things compared to her.... I love her for that!!!
ELDER SISTERS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Hmm....wat is this post about???? :P
It's been a long long time since i posted anything...So i thought i would do it now...My exams are round the corner..Yet,here i'm wasting my time.I take facebook quizzes,listen to the fm,listen to the latest family updates from my aunt,talk to my friends over the phone....that is everythimg except studying.. :P This has been happening every time before the exams.But i tend to have an inner fear that pushes me to my books or atleast i sit with it most of the time atleat ten days before the exams....But this time i have this guilty feeling of not doing justice,but no fear!! Strange.....
Now coming back to blogging after a long time-I'm this really forgetful person....so i made a note of all the things i wanted to put down when i posted something later on....Now i don't know where i put that list!!! :P So much for putting it down in writing to remember things! My dad always asks me to prepare a check list to see what i have to do for the day and what work is pending....Little does he understand that preparing the checklist is not the issue here,but where i put the checklist is!!! :P
As usual,i prepared a timetable to organise my syllabus and studies....But timetables are to be forgotten as resolutions are to be broken!!! :P
My friend is going to be here in a few hours and we are going to combine study(yeah,the same thing where we take a break to study in between our chat....yak,yak,yak :P)
so tata....i think i'll be bak with another post in a short time-no other work to do.... :Pand hopefully i'll find my checklist!!! :D
