If the T.V. is given a mouth piece to express..

HI,

You the one sitting in front of me. Well, its nice to have someone looking at you and paying undivided attention to your words and things u do.. Guess, you have no choice either.. Well, this is some reminiscences of my life...

The day i was made and the technician passed me with a O.K., I was packed and shipped to the appliance store in a mall. It was a huge store with many of them who resembled me so close that i had a inkling that i was one of those lucky people who were born with a twin or may be an exception where i was born with rather a lot of people; where the word twin looks a small word.

Fine, twin or no twin i got company, the shop guy everyday puts some of us on plug and ran a channel which played songs. At, the moment i dint know who spoke or never heard my own voice clearly, as everybody was on their own song and it was ruckus in there.

Days passed by and people of various shapes and size came, saw and went by. Some times, i had these meddling kids licking ice-creams and chocolates who tried touching me with their dirty sticky hands, bless that supervisor who stopped them from doing so..

Then, one fine day it finally happened i found a buyer. Oh, he was very particular about every feature of mine. Had lot o questions which got cleared also.. then he looked closely at me as a last check and i stared back at him blankly..after which he finally said O.K.
Here started our association. The moment the supervisor went to get the bill, he checked his appearance on me... Boy, he had a rotund tummy which on my screen looked all the more protruded.. poor soul tried pulling it in. No chance buddy its out and it will stay so. Then, i got packed again and sent to his home.

 Well finally, Home Sweet Home... I reached his place got mounted on my stand first, then got fixed in the wall.. after which i got a view of the room i was in..where in i see myself facing a couch and a wall.. The wall showed this guy has been married. Well, it doesn't bother me. Then, guy gets the technician plug up all the things and starts me up.

I was played the whole night, which told me his tummy story. He ate his food and sat glued the whole time there in front of me.. Man get a life.. get up take a walk and see things around you other than me..BUT NO..!!! He sits with the wrapper of the crisps, chocolates, and what not around him and sometimes the blanket also is brought in and a night is spent troubling me.

Once this guy was watching a match and here comes his wife.. Tells, him about a outing, to which he had to accompany her. The conversation went so..

Wife: "hey dear, u remember that lady i introduced u to the other day??

Guy: Hmm.. Hmm..

Wife: Well, we have a party to attend thrown by her.

Guy: Yes..

Wife:Will u come with me?

Guy: Yes.. Yes..

Wife: You are coming rite..?

Guy: (Watching the batsman go for six and miss exclaims..) Oohh oh.. What!!!!

Wife: Are u coming?

Guy:  ya... YES...

Wife: She notices him carefully and asks "What did i ask u jus now dear??"

Guy: Huhhh... he returns her question with a blank expression..

Wife: Have you been listening to me at all???

Guy: Ya Ya.. i was...and goes silent

She stands in between me and him and asks him "What was saying, did u even listen half of it?"

The guy just shirked and nodding a NO, moved her aside from in between us..

What ensued after that was a Battle close to a World war.. 

All said and done he is back watching the match..

A day or two later the wife does same thing purposely and does not make the dinner and keeps the guy hungry for the night..

He sat in  front of me and her cursed her through out the night; Whereas, she snored her way through it..

Funny people...!!! don't know what should be kept as priority and what not.. I am here and might go off another day.. But, for once u can look at that people who are meant to be with you and trying to get your attention.

Life is one which is lived for others and not wasted for lifeless objects...

Well, it doesn't mean that u keep me completely off.. I got a purpose too.. Use me wisely...

So long so far... Bubye.. keep changing... 

Writing again..

Writing again after a long gap does make u a bit slow on words. But, there is so much going in and around that life seems a blur of events in coming days..Come a month i'm out of college forever in my life. Guess the feeling of it is yet to sink in, as i never thought that even the last straw at claiming a thing and a chance to redeem yourself could be lost so soon. Again back at the crossroads where i was just a while before, time ran out again on me. And, this time it would make me take a decision far stronger about the things in my life than ever. Some forced upon, some chosen and some which if happened would ruin or make my life forever.. Guess, instead of pondering on the unknown n known its time that i will have to take a step forward. A step that would define me in the later years. The part of the step taking is stuck at where to go question. Hope to find the way sooner than it should be else i might lose hope on somethings in my life. Though i see more often these things repeating in my life. but, this time i don't want a repeat telecast. I want a new telecast, a episode which would show me the way i want. I would give up anything to the one who is ready to provide me with the new telecast, a new remote control and A BIGGER T.V..... :D I want it badly, got bored of the one i have. A new one with more features, channels to change and a brighter picture would do wonders.
The change of font and making the post all the more incomprehensible is for the fact that life is a mess who can read it through will be able to at some or other point. but, when u feel that u cant u wont.

Innocence....

Innocent:
(n.) The state or quality of being not chargeable for, or guilty of, a particular crime or offense; as, the innocence of the prisoner was clearly shown.
(n.) Simplicity or plainness, bordering on weakness or silliness; artlessness; ingenuousness.
(n.) The state or quality of being innocent; freedom from that which is harmful or infurious; harmlessness.
(n.) The state or quality of being morally free from guilt or sin; purity of heart; blamelessness.


sounds a lot to define something so simple a word..
we use so often...
well, in certain cases we explain our foolishness to understand a joke as innocence..
just as in this case where:


A new police officer has just joined the investigating department, and put on a new case. 
He was supposed to interrogate the lady about the how the burglar had entered according to her and match the findings.. The conversation went so...
 Police officer: Morning lady, how are you today? //thinks in his mind...as told by sir 1. start with compliments///
Lady: What??? How would i be?!!! ///Mad fellow, i lost all in a night and he is asking me how am i?///
Police officer: Fine lady, so what were you doing last night? Were u alone or by yourself?
Lady: Alone,...!!! right..???!!! And I had my dinner, went to loo, then went to study room, then watched TV till 12 and then slept on the sofa..
Police officer: Hmmm.../// well, old lady has a long list of things to do..///
Lady: ya ya thats it... Ask about the thief...!!! /// this guy seems to sleeping////
Police: Yes, my lady just a minute. so, what did u say?
Lady: I did not say anything, so, far...
PO: ya ya, sorry...!
so where did the thief come in?
Lady: from the stairs above..
PO: could u show me??
Lady: come with me...
////they go to the stairs///
PO: this is the stairs...
Lady: Yes..
PO: So, these stairs go to the basement???
Lady: yes..
PO: SO you say that the stairs went down to the basement?
Lady: Yes..
PO: And these stairs, did they go up also?
Lady: what the...?!!!


There are times when we crack a joke and our friends just looks plain blank at us.
An we end up trying to explain them desperately, to relieve ourselves of the misery... :)
so all those reading this reminiscence those moments of your life and leave them as comments... i will be delighted.


if u feel they are too personal or cannot put in words just enjoy reading these lines...Quite amusing..
"Imagine there were no Hypothetical situations.."
"Give a man a match and he'll be warm for a minute; set him on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life..."
"Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't"
" Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak"
"Before you insult a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way when you insult him, you'll be a mile away and also have his shoes"
"What do you call a psychic midget that escaped from the prison? A small medium at large"
" I was standing in the park wondering why frisbees got bigger when they closer..! and then it hit me..!"

It hurts...

It hurts to see all the slain men of our forces as well as the so called naxals.

Why? A predicament which bogs us down all the time, as to why and will such bloodshed help reach the goals and aspirations of the troubled community??

All of us love to help others and provide solutions and suggestions, about how to go about their work!!!...

All the more, what makes me wonder, is the fact that these anti-social elements are not uneducated or those who have no knowledge and understanding of the social world..

When I heard, that a recently slain commander was a REC educated person(Regional Engineering College rechristened now as NIT's), it, reminded me of the fact that the so debated topic, of brain drain shouldn't have been concentrated on all about the migrating professionals only.

Yes, i appreciate those people or better termed as Rebels of the state, who have had the courage to ask questions that most of us just by pass in our lives..

But, fighting is not the only solution. There was a day, when we fought the Britisher's to grant us independence; and now, we are seeing people fighting for the very rights won long back..

Very amusingly, we are ourselves against such people, feeling that they are instigating the uneducated into a purposeless rebellion.

What none of us are bothering to do is, get down in the muck and clean it.

Some issues, which are being centered on are education, civic amenities and conservation of the locality. These issues are not unsolvable or unseen or unheard of.

The suggestions given below by me are not my brain-child; but, are achievements of some villages and villagers who have willed to live a better life and achieved it.

Some of us by and large belong to a village, so, why don't we give the children growing up there a helping hand by contributing to build a school or paying for their education.

Those already working, can guide the youth into more useful means of work and also help them into taking up agriculture, which though being a major contributor to our economy remains to be the least opted profession; thanks, to the unruly weather and other factors. Of all we are short in hand with the fact being that our farmers, are not enlightened of the options and latest technological innovations which can help them reap profits of their own land.

As, to provision of civic amenities, if every villager is ready to contribute a little in their own way in terms, of manpower and money; they need not plead any government or civic body for help and be at their mercy.

The real reason behind all the clamor, is the we have learnt to complain but, lack the feeling of responsibility, towards our community, and country and fail to find solutions to some of the persistent; but, solvable problems.

Stranger..!

June 27th is definitely going to be one of those days; I will never forget. Since, this was after a long time i felt i had a hearty laugh. Well, the occasion was my friends engagement. This is definitely not what i had laughed for... There are sometimes rather many a times when we land up in a party or some kind of celebrations, where of all the people present you seem know just two. Well, that was my situation today.

Looking like, i landed in midst of a bunch of people who knew each other for years; but, they dint let me feel like i was anyhow stranger to them.

As I had entered the hall, I was greeted by my friend and then her other old buddies, some HI's and Hello's. Then, I took my seat with them. After, this what had happened was a laughter riot which i do not think i will ever forget..

The people here were ( Giri, Avinash, Janardhan, Sirisha, Anand, Sandeep, Vamsi, Siri...). I have never personally or remotely have never been in contact with these people expect sirisha who happens to be my college friend. They spoke about themselves and pulled each others leg. Some introduced each other in a way u couldn't help smiling about. And as many more joined in, we were a huge group at the back of the hall making a racket. Thanks, to my friends parents who took it very sportingly and dint feel the need to keep us quiet.

Sometimes, seldom we expect from strangers to make our day memorable. Definitely, if we are ready to mingle and let ourselves free for others to reach us. Everyday is memorable.

I really want to thank all of them by heart, for making my day absolutely wonderful and a very special one...

/// though my jaws and sides pinching out of tiredness, I'm happy to feel this pain///

As of, if someone reading this wonders what were the jokes about. I apologize for not mentioning them as they were spontaneous and of all i don't remember what most of the jokes started with or ended with. Sometimes some things and feelings can't be summarized or justified in writing completely, they are meant to be just felt about, this day was one such of those.

The English Craze

Everyone around here wants to converse in English.

Much like the phrase "Walk English, Talk English.."

Some of them desperately hanging on to be the ENGLISH end up being the

funny bone to others. Anyone wondering to join a laughter club, can prefer to spend an hour with

such a person and stomach wrenching laughter riot is assured.

have a sample:

1st lady: Hi, U knws that lady beside ur house?

2nd lady: ms.xx

A: YA YA...

what's in a name??

Many of us wonder, "what's in a name?".. but, ask this question to a person having been blessed with a loooonnnng name... And a equally tough spelling.

I always have preferred that my name be spelt right. So, the moment i realize that my name is being written, i've chosen to spell it to them.

There are incidents such as when i was 10 years old or something;

Principal: " What's your name?"

me: huh..

Dad: "Abinandana"

Principal:"ABHINANDAN" Cute boy...!"

Dad: "oh no.. girl abinandana.."

(Me staring in at him.."crazy bugger cant see the frock??" Jus a boy cut and a name turns you into a boy..!!!" Oh boy..)

In school, i had the unfortune of having two classmates and of all boys with "abhi" as their names in shorter version, now, there is this cricket match being played in the ground and "abhi" is being called upon.. though its not me, but, I'm told that I was summoned to the ground.

I go running to find out that not abinandana bt, abhishek was needed.. hahaha... Tragedy..

During college days.. to avoid the trouble of being called by my full name i kept it to "abi" again; people felt the need to correct me by spelling it as "abhi" not "abi".

when i insist, they ask me how come so???

Now, its been so for 20 odd years and it will continue to be so...

Thanks, to some people who managed to call me "abinandana" completely, before i could run off..

Well, this privilege has been of those who have taught(teachers, professors, lecturers) me all these years..

If thats not all, people sometimes, even chose to call me by my surname which im not accustomed to hear at all being called by...

For all, that I have chosen to write about this is that, there are few other tortured souls like me who have been in a soup due to their long names; compared to others short and crisp one's

well, all the trouble is worth it coz, that's what we have lived with and will continue to be known with..

proud to have such a name...
