Funny Choices!

one of my colleagues is getting married soon... Its an arranged marriage. The wedding is somewhere next month. The funny part is that she has not seen the guy yet.Just one close look at the guy's snap and she said yes!cool rite... How simple can getting married be! My colleague shops at globus for three solid hours to get a good outfit for 500 bucks.She talks about the quality of the product, this n tht so tht she doesnt finally choose something that is not good enough for her..come on, you are spending 500 bucks and you cannot afford to get cheated!
But when it comes to marriage, she chose the guy of her life in just 10 minutes..Without even talking to the guy once..One of the biggest decisions in life, how cool can someone be!I should have been a fool. I couldn't help without asking as to what she knew about thatguy that she decided to accept gim for life!She said that he is from a good family..He has a good background.. I wonder what that implies!I have been trying to figure out this logic since morning:). She tried to convince me by saying that she spoke to guy on the phone as soon as they got engaged and he seemed to be a good guy.It seems that he spoke well. Isn't that obvious? Will anybody talk cruelly to the person he/she is gonna marry.. that too the first time.I seriously couldnt stop laughing!How funny can things get!!

Time for some Buzzwords!

Mokka--- The latest buzz word, the pulse of chennai rather..I call it the pulse of this terrific city, cus its used 'n' times in 'n' different contexts by 'n' chennaites everyday.Too mathematical, isn't it;) Well, for people who don't know tamil, mokka technically speaking means nothing more than a very bad pj. One rule of the thumb to be followed while using this buzzword as a part of an english sentence is that u can only 'put' mokka and not 'say' a mokka (check the verbal usage!) . I don't know who framed this rule, but that is how you are expected to use it! The same word can be used as an adjective as well. For ex, 'it was a mokka trip' .So here, w.r.t this sentence 'mokka' means boring. one word, that can be an adjective and also a verb. Kinda complex rite? But the worst part is that I cannot form one single decent sentence these days without this golden word!The word mokka has found so much of prominence not only in my life, but in the tamil world on the whole, to such an extent that irrespective of whether u crack a good joke or not, people term it a mokka. Everything on earth is a mokka.. A good joke, a bad joke, a concept, an advice, a fact,whatever. So the best way to conceal the fact that you don't really understand what somebody is trying to say, is to call it a mokka! cool idea, rite(now dont call this one a mokka;)). One cool icy word that can camouflage w.r.t context!Great, isnt it?

The Name Sake

How are u? The Indian Ishtyle of starting a conversation. The funny thing about a few questions is that you are expected to give only a standard answer and that makes me wonder as to why we take all the trouble of even asking.For ex, when somebody asks you, 'How do you do?' , you are expected to reply with a good or fine. But, I wonder how it would be like, if you ask somebody as to how they are doing and they take all the pain in the world to explain the situation! like ' I am in the process of pursuing my biggest desires(am not talkin bout IT professional's here! Am talking bout general feasible desires:)). I am searching for happiness' or something like, 'I am sick and trying to get the hell out of this place'.. or 'Am not doing anything. There is nothing much to do in this f***ing place..' or something more dramatic like 'This guy ditched me and what do you mean by how do u do? Do you think I am honeymooning with my neighbour?' oooooh.. Its hard to even imagine! What if u ask somebody like, 'how is life?' and they reply 'its bad! I wanna commit suicide. u wanna join?' U'd better hang urself to death rather than get a response like that! So if there was no word called ' good' or 'fine' .. can u imagine! Life would have been a nightmare rite?

Thank god, there are some untold yet accepted rules! Now u might be wondering as to what this female is trying to convey through this post! Like most of my posts have some kinda take away point, so does this one! Small words can make a difference and we should learn to appreciate the small things around us!( you are right, I flicked it from some random forward. This is the best place where I could fit it in and so...:)) By now you should be almost sure that the author is wierd and so is this post! Digging deeper into the concept of this post, can i even put it like most people do most things for the sake of it??..A 'how do u do?' or 'hows life' does not imply anything..Nothing implies anything anymore. Nobody cares bout ur answer. The world is moving at a fast pace.. Jus play along! No body wants to listen! So why bother explaining??Pls

Note: The author has gone conk and is not responsible for the after effects on those ppl who read this post! And btw, how r u?;)

Objection Tango!

The best song on love and rejection. Shakira puts it across very strongly..

It's not her fault that she's so irresistible
But all the damage she's caused isn't fixable
Every twenty seconds you repeat her name
But when it comes to me you don't careIf I'm alive or dead


So objection I don't wanna be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother

Objection I'm tired of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way I've got to get away


Next to her cheap silicon I look minimal
That's why in front of your eyes I'm invisible
But you gotta know small things also count
You better put your feet on the ground
And see what it's about so


Objection I don't wanna be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother


Objection the angles of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way, no no no


I wish there was a chance for you and me
I wish you couldn't find a place to beAway from here


This is pathetic and sardonic
It's sadistic and psychoticTango is not for three
Was never meant to be
But you can try it
Rehearse it
Or train like a horse
But don't you count on me
Don't you count on me boy


Objection I don't wanna be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother


Objection I'm tired of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way I've got to get away Get away, get away,
hey hey hey get away he hey
I'm falling apart in your hands again get away he hey
I'm falling apart in your hands again
no way I've got to get away get away

The Multidimensional Term Called Love!

How do we define love... To be frank,all of us wud have heard of love, even long before actually experiencing it.. the pain, the happiness, the grief it brings, the seeds of care it embeds.. thanks to our hindi films! A two yr old kid knows what it is! For a two year old kid, it cud just mean a guy and a gal happily dancing together in the rain! As we grow older we look at the passionate part of it.. And when we r mature enough, we tend to understand the complexities of this delicate relationship comprising of love, care, selfnessness and passion, which put together brings the totality of life, and adds more meaning to our existence. If u like good cinema, u know.. those art kinda movies that talk about human relationships..u get to understand the different dimensions that love can take.. I was watching a movie called raincoat yesterday.. starring Aish and Ajay Devgan.. Such a slow moving movie, that u will need a lot of patience to watch.. The concept is simple but then it strikes a cord somehere.. Its about two hopeless people, who have miserably failed in their lives, in different ways, their dreams shattered.. but still do not want the other person to know that he or she is unhappy and life has treated him or her badly... u lie, because u love.. Its like u already are in a very bad shape, with no hopes of improvement left, but u still want to do ur best to make the life of the other person better, when u realise that the other person was lying and is actually in deep shit.. The director terms this as love.. good, isnt it.. There is another movie in which a conventional, married woman with a small kid falls in love with a muslim photographer during the time of a war.. Its just circumstantial, cus of the kinda protection he offeres her selflessly.. Nothin more.. But that doesnt mean that she is gonna leave everything behind and go after him.. Here the gratitude towards a person blossoms into love..Love is gratitude.. So love doesnt have a definition.. it can mean a lie and it can even mean being thankful.. And finally its not the dimension of love that comes across our way that matters, it may not be packaged the way we want.. but then its just a feeling that leaves a mark in our hearts forever, irrespective of the dimension!

My Work Place

The last one year has probably been the best of times for me. Lots of memorable moments which I will cherish for the rest of my life.. Well.. about me.. I am a 22 year old, simple female(atleast not too complicated, thats how my profile in orkut will look to you.) I have been working in a software company ever since I got out of college and I should say that life has been a bliss.. (so far:-)).. Though there is nothing so interesting about the kind of work in a software industry(atleast I dont find any), I have found some great people to work with, good money, some kind of an independance and beyond all this, the most important stuff--- Three great friends..

I used to have(and still have), two great friends from college, and when I got out of college, I thought that good times have come to an end, atleast as far as friendship is concerned. Cus, I was under an impression that at a work place you are supposed to behave quite professionally and you ought to keep a distance with your colleagues, cus in a work environment everybody is selfish and is bothered only about his or her ambitions, interests and recognition. But for me, things have been quite different.. So many good things have come my way--good name, recognition and on the lighter side, fun and money..

I have three great pals at my work place and I am sure they will stay with me through thick and thin.. Either it be break fast, lunch or tea(Thats the only free time you have in a software company unless you are on bench), we have it together and spend most of our time bitching about dumb collegues, irritating PMs or horrible work. When you have nice people around you, everything looks good. In case you have had a bad day at work and dont even wanna look back at how it was, and your friend calls and asks you'Enna machi, semma rodaa?".. and after you tell him or her how bad your day was, and they say"dont worry machi, freeya vidu", you seriously feel a lot better. Happiness in life is all about having such machis around and putting some mokkais(A mokkai technically speaking, means nothing more than a worst PJ!) and if you are lucky enough to have a few machis around you like me, life as a sofware engineer cant be that boring actually!

New Generation Business!

In the month of romance, with just a few more hours left for the V-Day, shopping malls across the world have been flooded with impressive cards and beautiful gifts. A V-Day is a very beautiful concept. A day which is dedicated for love, without which neither you nor I exist. Love is Life, Love is everything, Love is what makes life meaningful. But too bad that our lives have become so fast paced today that we actually need a day to remind us of the importance of love, which after water should be the elixir of life. Since it is for a good cause, the commercialisation of V-Day is also acceptable to a great extent. Cus, though love blossoms in the heart and bla bla, at times you have to be materialistic. Nothing wrong about it rite... As long as you are making somebody happy..
Whats gaining even more popularity these days , is the concept of anti valentine cards. I got a forwarded email from a friend last week and thats when i got to see an anti-valentine card. The card read " Loving you, has screwed up my life.." and there was another one which read "Roses are red,Bullets are lead,Take me back now or get shot in the head". It was very funny to see a forward like that..But jokes apart, I wonder where the world is heading to.. Somebody out there has real outaa box thinking. But should we commercialise such a concept? Looks like people have started to find a business opportunity in every simple thing that we value and respect. But have we become so heartless that we have started commercialising and strategising our thoughts that might hurt somebody somewhere, who probably does not deserve this kinda treatment?.. At this rate, two generations from now, we would be celebrating an anti valentines day.. Why are we so money minded? The world has become a mad man's place, it has gone crazy.. No place for feelings or emotions, jus money, more money, more and more money...
