blog from college

This is my first blog from college net lab......the kind of person i 'am, given a chance i would be the first to leave college....but today its different.....the net lab suddenly seems more inviting..(considering the fact that the administrator switched on all the air conditioners ...., 40 degrees outside and 1:00 in the afternoon...) and also maybe because anisha persuaded me to stay and finish my documentation (which apparently i'am not doing now)......

yesterday was a prty frustrating and would call it one of my 'worshtu' day'...so i was enthu about leaving home and coming to college.Here as the ghissus had already come, all the main better,fast comps got occupied..and i'am left with th loser ones.....but the comps reserved for the lecturers still there...and my putting a desperate face that i needed a comp with a pen drive facility got me one of the reserved comps...... :-)..(did i actually have a pen drive lol..)

after some copy pasting ,making an arbit senseless draft i hit the 'compose','attach' and 'send' to my class topper(who also happens to be my project mate) ....so that we can discuss it the next day...

now that main work is done....me all vetti.......

here i'am......... blogging from college.... ;-)

(seriously i have become so jobless.........).....

animals.........part 1




God's loveliest creations.......it is surprising that when i think of the word 'bear'...the image i see is of 'baloo-papa bear' of talespin otherwise its my teddy bear...as a kid , i really wanted a bear(to be precise a bear cub) at home just because it is a soft furry cute looking animal......but one trip to the zoo....and mummmyyyy no bears !!!!(they seemed to have prty rough fur ,sharp long nails, dusty and climbed trees in a weird manner.... :-O )....

Elephants-huge,majestic,eat a lot!!!........the temple elephant of kumbhakonam is my favorite one ......so playful and happy...i named him the happy elephant... (until i met this guy it somehow never striked me that the trunk of an elephant was its nose....lol... i was under this horribly stupid impression that they use it for drinking water)....and btw this guy only drinks filter(pure) coffee...

tortoise- tippu!!!!.....my school mate had a tortoise called tiptop.....at least from the lil interaction i had with this guy .....he proved to be the most cost-effective pet......eats 4 beans a week.....and is in hibernation most of the time..........
he looked cute unlike the 'teenage mutant ninja turtles'...

he so tiny...
and his shell all shiny.....
:-P

rabbits- pinky-white ,delicate bundles of cotton . the lunch hours of my 1st yr engi for about 3 months were dedicated to feeding carrots to the lovely rabbits at oasis(thts a play school located beside my college....)that was a pleasure indeed... :-) ( sad they had to go..)
but more recently got to see these beautiful creatures again at rajeev's place and man they were as soft as ever!!! :-)


dogs-lovable,friendly,best companion anyone can have.........

ROCKY!!!-a doberman pincher!!!....well dont get carried away by that......this guy had all qualities except of that of a pincher!!......playful,no sign of any sort of ferociousness

his vet was always of the opinion -"too playful to be a doberman"

well as a dog....he was just like any other dog......hated baths,loved crispy biscuits/pedigree,playing,.....and after a bath got dead hyper active....
he considered himself to be way too old for kids to play with him......he consciously ignored them... :P

but he did prove that he had sme qualities of a 'hunting dog' by hunting down a pigeon (who happened to be lazing on the fence oblivious of his presence).......and also a rat who was trying to play hide n seek wth him ......(not too sure if that counts for hunting)....


on the whole a sweetie pie ,one who i can never forget!! :(

animals rule!!!! :)

ps. if the villian's apprehension in 'open season' ever comes true... i need not worry....i have my animal buddies...... :-)

music......














aaaa...... theres music everywhere....like some ppl cannot live without newspaper/books...i cannot imagine a day without music.....i'am open to any kind of music as long as it appeals to me.....

Though i do take a special liking to carnatic music...(which i sing- not a great singer though)..

the raaga's which are on my favourite list are

malayamarutham--->also called the morning raaga becoz generally sung in the morning...and aaah listening to ths raaga is like sipping hot coffee.

kanada---->an awesome raaga....so melodious and soothing...and the alaipayuthe song....totally mindblowing

bhairavi------>a unique raaga...equally melodious

and shanmukhapriya--->i have no specific reason but maybe the fact that a song sharavanabhava(tuned to ths raaga) was one of may favourite songs.

and coming to the lyrics

i have never really tried to understand what the composer intends to tell.....but recently while downloading one of the songs from a website which also provided the meaning of the song i could not help but appreciate the poetic feel the composer has tried to give to the song while still holding the essence of the song intact.....be it bhakthi,sringara......

Carnatic music has cme a long way.It is interesting to see so many artistes ,still actively involved in research .Everytime i attend a concert of bombay jayashree(i would call her god) or for that matter even my music class group singing , i feel bad that i dont dont spare time to practice .........

music is everywhere.........
