Stand(ret)ards!!

Am I scared of doing something new? something different? I wonder and my thoughts wander. It has been quite sometime now. I have been in this "self-realization" mode!! I start my mornings with a banging knock on the brain - "hello!! Anybody in there?? What exactly are you?? err I mean who exactly are you?? What the hell do you want out of life??". The knock becomes a reality check - "do i really have a brain?? I haven't seen it till now!!! Hmmm fishy". That's when I realize I prefer starting my mornings with shit!

I have been following standards till now. Oh yes! As a kid I went to the best of the play schools. In school I managed to always be within the first three ranks (now, it doesn't really matter. Back then I was crazy about collecting certificates!! Damn, I should have made it my hobby!) . In college I got freaked out thinking about campus interviews. I attended the first campus interview and got selected. Happiness spread all over.Losing interest in studies; I managed to be the topper of my department ( and I didn't even know it till my uncle called me up on the day of convocation).Finally, got a job and I am settled - that's what people told me. But I keep asking myself - what next??

I am immature. I am 25 years old. I get bored easily. Settling down with a job which never really caught my interest (though I always manage to get a good name, ah self-booster :D) made me think more. I realized that following standards has made my life Monotonous. I am living a live which gives definition to the word Monotonous. I have ended up doing what others do and others ended up doing what others do!! Oh no!! Somebody save me.

Is there anybody out there who is trying to get out of standardization? Gosh, Am I trying to create a standard now????

Laziness

Laziness should not be loathed. Laziness brings out the creativity just like how inertia is one of the fundamental principles to describe motion (trying hard to find out the connection?? keep trying, what other useful work do you have when I find you reading my blog!!????!!!). Thinking of it, every other weekend has been my well cherished lazy weekend for quite sometime now. Laziness is not as simple as you think, it takes all the courage to remain in that state and just a small realization to get out of it. I keep denying the fact that I realized it long time back.

What are the things that a lazy person can do

- nothing !! ( devil's workshop is interesting, try fixing some bolts, will you!!)

- gaining tremendous knowledge about crappy movies. So next time you plan to watch some movie on TV try asking a lazy friend of yours , " how crappy is it pal! " and you will be amazed with the criticism filled with facts!!

- laziness activates your taste buds. Gluttony (adding on to the sin??? Nah, its fun) rents your body and it can bring out amazing cooks around you (note: around you ). One of the suitable jobs that a lazy person can opt for is "Food taster" (now all that we need to find is a king!! hurray).

- laziness can prove that one can make maggy in a minute and eat it for an hour watchin flint stones.

- laziness can prove that you randomly hit any website assuming to enhance knowledge (what a loser!!) and end up reading a worthless blog like this (gotcha!!! muhahahahah).

- laziness can activate that unused part of your brain which involves in "thinking out of the box". I know you wont trust me on this. All you need to do is - try it!! come on, be lazy!!! :D

- finally , everything.

I was chatting with a friend of mine and I said "I am too lazy to do anything other than staying awake" ... and look mama...i typed a blog entry!!!!!

Baby's day in

Dawn Yawwnn and I jump off my bed. Laziness should not be conquered that easily and thus my laptop comes to the rescue of my inertia!! Bravo !! Few tabs are always open in my laptop - gmail, orkut, facebook, twitter, youtube, wikipedia and dictionary..Just when I started wondering how I haven't got tired of this virtual world the strong aroma of Chai ( aka Tea) tickled my olfaction. Mommy darling serves me tea preventing my arse to make any movement. I love my laziness or does it love me??? both ways ??? blah!! (Pssstt.. the lunch was also served and i didn't have to move an inch from my place ;) )

Living in virtual world is fun but today I got bored. So what did i do? I sat in front of the so called Idiot box aka Television. Now what the hell was that? Semi virtual??? Whatever!! Channel surfing is actually a pain when there are too many channels and by sheer luck every other channel telecasts a stupid "not worth it" advertisement!! Again I got bored. So what did i do? ( "as if i am bothered" isn't that what you are thinking??? gotcha :D, anyway the answer is "i don't care" :P) Plan C was to take my family out (I leave it to your intelligence to interpret what plan A and B was.). Nagging, irritating, crying, rolling on the floor and weeping, puuhhhlleeaaaasseee - these were the acts to bring out a small nod of affirmation from my dad n mom. It's actually easy, try it next time !! (don't give me that look now ;)).

My not-so-convinced mom got ready and my damn-i-got-convinced dad was about to get ready, when it started :( :( :( ... it started raining :'( sniff sniff...bloody it had to rain today in CHENNAI???!!???? Of all the places in the world it had to RAIN TODAY IN CHENNAI???!!!?????? Well I am blessed !! Really?? Back to Plan A now :D

Note: Well I did have a nice time today. Trust me!!

It's raining!!

It's raining outside, look ma its raining !!! Well you might think whats so exciting about the rain? The answer is I stay in Chennai. Chennai is an awesome place to live. I have been staying here right since my second grade. Everything about Chennai is good apart from the growing population, wide spreading pollution, the bumpy roads, the sticky sweat etc. Now what are the four periods of the year??? Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Oh really?? How about this It's like summer, Summer, It' still summer and it's not winter?? Past few months has dehydrated me and I guess it should have dehydrated the state itself. Any slight feel of chillness or wetness gets me excited these days (folks I am talking about the nature, don't you get weird ideas). Ah it's raining!!! :D

Confused!

Just to give a tiny peep into the depth of my confusion...here you go

Tanned skin, the burning sun

Deprived of originality

we make our world

How original is it now?

Fast paced, the undesired marathon

raging crave to succeed

we make our world

by winning lonely races?

Swimming in tit for tats

Dwelling in brickbats

we make our world

A hero with losing morales?

Realization...

There are times when time stops

And you find yourself

balancing on those slippery rocks

just to feel the chillness of river.

Stillness amidst the lovely flow

revolting thoughts and pacifying memories

staring at the lonely river

fighting to find the lonely shore

we make our world

time to find our identity?

Go Speechless

Prentending not to be confused
find your act of being mature
tears will wash the turbulence
With a friends touch
go speechless!!

One among the crowd
find yourself walking alone
you will find your loneliness eloping
With a strangers smile
go speechless!!

Struggling to express thoughts
find ever word misleading
silence will help you solve the puzzle
With your eyes talking aloud
go speechless!!

Draw your own life's caricature
find every flaw adding to its perfection
you will realize change is beautiful
And With your own emotions
Go Speechless !! :)

Something New!!

Something New
Cut through the wind
Overtake the clouds
One step ahead from the rest
In a different way, something new

Hide behind the heavy pour
Let the thunder seek
Peek-a-boo
In a different way, something new

Sit on the moon
And stare at the Sun
Beat the heat
In a different way, something new

Move against the time
Lets twist life
Grow young as you grow old
In a different way, something new!!
