Rebuilding an empire

How many times have you gotten up after falling down? I can hear a majority of  big numbers..........Let me modify it :  how many times have you got up after falling down from the top of the stairs? sadly not many........but that happens quite often to me.........in both ways!
I actually got up every time I fell down, when the hooligans stamped my arm , even when I thought I had the unbearable pain on me for ever ........I got up every time!
Well I am posed with the question " what do I care if u break your bones? " Dude! seriously -although it is true (yes!) - it is just a metaphorical reference to everything! "everything?" yeah! everything! Right from losing ur old fb account and faced with the task of re building a new one......when you are in a low streak of marks........when everything is going wrong with a friend.......when your parents are too bugging, you gotta get up. "yeah, like the rising sun!"

Not so melodious!

"Dude! Its the time to get inspired
b4 u get expired! "

"You need an adrenaline rush
or you are down the flush"

However lame they may sound they are my rhymes to get inspired......I have even stuck this on my notice board!  


"ohk....lets move on". When you had a peak, everything was so right that you felt something was wrong........they reversed.You are faced with a situation like priyanka in fashion,you gotta come BACK , its not like a nice first start where you are inspired already, its just a Fresh start like ...... " an unsaved game!" correct! an unsaved game! 


Some points to help you........by the experienced hand

• If you are faced with a fresh start scenario , think positive!The wrongest time to feel depressed is when you are in one......! Think about the nice old days "yeah.....those old days ........they will never come back." Idiot! not like that...think like Betty,the most inspirational character of the decade!

• If someone insults you or gives a bad remark, take it gracefully. The last problem they have is yours and the last one You have is them.If they are true villains (touch wood) we will take care of them later, dont look at me like that!

• Always remember to work double the amount than the last time.....after all it is a come back! If you do work at your normal pace the critics wont be satisfied as you already have a black mark. The slightest error may cost you your dream.Proving other people wrong is lovely! So lets do it baby!

• You cannot Afford to have the wrong attitude!As you may know if you convert all the words into numerals like A= 1 B= 2 ............Attitude has the maximum value! So don't mess with it boss! Idiot cant you get it....DONT give me that look!

• All points aside you know you were a rockstar and you have the spunk to do it! So dont doubt yourself. Self doubt must be the last factor for your failure.Or else great people wouldn't have been made.....like me....hehehehe

Last but the most important point "what?" Dont hurt your special and sweet friends like......Me. "Aargh" @#$@$@ Bam Bam!         

Due to serious health problems Semi cant continue this post.....then who's this? I am that awesome person in those " " . She wishes to say that the post will be complete when I succeed in life! I already have......to have a wonderful friend like semi, she's the best. I think she's the ultimate optimist.She would hate me for doing this in her blog..........but I am doing this. *crying noise* tch tch  I love you semi! 

"NARCISSIST!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's lying.........aarghhhh" 




- Semi :D   

Inspirational figures

When I wrote that title, I knew if this thing was regular it would have been mahatma gandhi, national leader or sachin tendulkar for that matter, but this one is different.........those beings who aren't usually called 'inspirational' but truly , in a different sort of way!

1. BETTY SUAREZ or  UGLY BETTY
Yeah,seriously! Every time I have a bad Friday or Saturday , I will surely switch on this show! Its not because she is bad or something............its just the way she puts aside all the insults she faces with such a straight face and carries on with her work. I learnt the power of positive energy from her and seriously it is amusing and relaxing watching this show! I almost had a heart break yesterday when the final season got over!
I like her for that in the opening season and some other characters like Wilhelmina! ( for that goodness even in the cruelness :P ) marc , for being so gay :P (jus kidding)
+ = positiveness, smile 
- = too stupid or irritating at times!








2.Subramanium Badrinath 
That dude is seriously an inspirational figure! He is like that ball which rebounds every time u hit the wall!He has scored tonnes of runs in domestic cricket, yet can still not find a slot in the team, even people who are younger than him like raina or even dhoni for that matter have won a place.This still hasn't disillusioned this man and he still continues to play a pivotal role for the Tamil Nadu team , csk ( chennai super kings) and occasionally in some test matches for India. I still hope that he gets a chance and get what he truly deserves!
+ = perseverance, hard work
- = doesn't utilize the chances, looks like a dehydrated puppy at times :P






3. Medha Easwar :)
You wouldn't know her but will know her because she is destined to become popular :) . I wouldn't elaborate because there is only 1 word that describes her heheeheee , ie , addictive giggles. It so inspirational for an amateur comedian like me to receive such cut giggles! However, sometimes these may become deceptive as she giggles even before I open my mouth!
She is my new partner and it makes it a lot easier and more fun when she is next to you. Especially in 10th std when everyone is depressingly into studies she is Hell a lot of difference to a poor soul. It doesn't mean she doesn't study,but add the most important FUN factor to it!
For example during a depressing English class where your teacher is unnecessarily elaborating the simple poem ,she starts  talking about life in a Russian prison!Well it may not sound funny but it is ;) , that too when you have an idiot sits in front of you and add spice to the conversation by planning to piss the roads in Russia to got to the prison's with awesome cafeteria and library, it is Funny!
+ = humor sense, no giggling sense
- = same thing, when it goes overboard :P


4. Akshath Vidyanath
Some of you may know him, as some junior golf player in India , well I know him as a classmate.The above 3 are inspirational in the true way, but this guy is the converse! He derives pleasure by acting bored and irritating for everything. Personally i think he hasn't matured from 1st std! NOW, you would wonder whether he is SO bad, he IS! After all anyone who hides a person's pencil pouch and finds it amusing is Kiddish

Then, why is HE inspirational? all said and done, he does have brains......the way he argues! gosh! he seriously has guts.AND :D when you start thinking about him depressed moods you would start getting motivated THAT when people like him are so confident , surely then you can!
There is this special thing about him, he says the 'truth' loud and sticks to it.Not many of us will scream on everyone's face that "dude! go dip our head in the flush, money is goddamn everything! "
+ = confidence , hidden talent :P , seriousness and sincerity in golf ( he paid me to tell all this :P ),attitude
- =  manners if any , excessive use of swear words




5.Mendeleev
Wonder who he is? Dumb heads!  he is the creator of the periodic table!Nobody would have thought that I would add him....but I did!To me any scientist is an inspiration as they make a gamble when they produce something and what is so great about his invention? His guts! yeah seriously! The gaps he left in the periodic table could be taken in anyway.......and to have confidence in what he found and telling that there where elements yet to be found is truly inspiring!
+ = the gaps he left show his Positive attitude and confidence
- = .......to boring to study about ;)

There are lots more I will soon add more!

The sidekick

Dedicated to all those sidekicks........2nd heroes who r always there for the star.........they may have selected their roles intentionally for being 'cool' or for some materialistic gain.....or some who are tailor made by nature to be the sidekick...............

I feel lost and lonely

Who the hell said life is lovely??

Everyday I am exposed to insults

forced to fake liveliness

and always end up with the rueful results

This is surely not the hyped happiness!

Folks! MY Life is not a book of jokes

So, Please throw away those horrible hopes....

Life is just a longer version of the never ending TV soaps..........

filled with millions of elope's and NOPE's

My life is put on hold

when I piss my NEW best friend

I am left in the cold

if I neglect the latest trends!

My ENDHIRAN tickets are sold

for those idiots to make amends....

after all,it was ME who decided to be her mould!

It is so SICK                             

to be a sidekick

I warn you! never give their feet a lick

         and expect a big tick!

Zoom - a musical GAME!

I got to know about this cool game 4 years ago.Everyone loves music of some form and incorporating it into a game makes it all the more addictive and FUN! The game is named 'Zoom' and is way more interesting than antakshari (which is another game where the person has to sing a song which has the same starting letter as the former person's song's last word)
Zoom has an entirely new concept. We can start with any song and the next person has to tell 'zoom' and sing a song which feature's the same hero/ heroine.My friends and I amassed a zoom of 322 songs in under 3 hrs!It basically has Tamil songs but in the end has some Hindi songs too.You may also notice that there are alot of kamal songs in the end! that's because I entered the game at that time <3

                                                                                                         semi :) , shivani ,swetha 

                                                                                                             and I think aparna & tanu!

2 different book reviews!

Here, when I mean different it doesn't mean that the book review is very different but the book selection is rather oxymoron-ish as one is by a bestselling and famous and late author Agatha Christie and the other is by the relatively new and unknown jaishree misra but my views aren't biased my the author's name , its more like a teacher who doesn't see the name and correct a paper (which IS rare nowadays :P ) 

Clocks

Francis Iles (Anthony Berkeley Cox) reviewed the novel in The Guardian's issue of December 20, 1963 when he said, "About Miss Agatha Christie's The Clocks I am not so sure. This begins well, with the discovery of a stranger in a suburban sitting-room, with four strange clocks all showing the same time; but thereafter the story, though as readable as ever, does tends to hang fire. Also there is one very corny item, the vital witness killed when on the point of disclosing crucial information, which is quite unworthy of Miss Christie."^[4]

I do agree what Mr. Francis is telling,the book begins well with the clocks element adding to the mystery element very well but at the end when it turns out to be a red herring.......well its just a dampener.The book does have interesting attempts of narration.The narration has partial 1st person account from Colin "lamb" the hero of the book , but his sudden disappearances due to his mostly spying job adds to the confusion.Also, although amusing Hercule Poirot just sitting in his home and deducting is no fun......

Let's come to the story. As I told, the story begins well. Sheila Webb, a typist is instructed by a phone call which is delivered to her by her boss Miss Martindale to go to one Miss Pebmarsh's house and finds a dead body there........and Miss Pebmarsh, a blind woman denies calling for her . More intriguing.........there are 4 clocks in the house and all having the same time 4:13 ! Enters hero Colin who is hit by cupid's arrow when Sheila rushes out of the house and accidentally falls on his arms...ahem.
The investigations of the neighbors are amusing but gets boring as it covers 100 pages!What could have been a masterpiece gets ruined as the pace is slow, Poirot nowhere in scene and a key witness murdered. Poirot gives us a big lecture about the implausibility of many authors but what he himself discovers doesn't seem to be very believable!

Robert Barnard: "Lively, well-narrated, highly unlikely late specimen - you have to accept two spies and three murderers living in one small-town crescent

 "
This guy has hit the bullseye! Agatha christie has got TOO carried away (like dan brown maybe :P ) and added too many spies and murderers lurking around!
Verdict- Read it if you are a christie fanatic or a bored reader. If you have read "black coffee " dont read this!
Secrets and lies

Surprise! Surprise! Secrets and lies exceeded my expectations and is a really good read!
This book deals with life of 4 woman in their early thirties. Bubbles malhotra is a wife of a millionaire but has a boring life where she feels she is more married to her mother in law than her husband! Next is Samira Hussain or Sam who is more of the protagonist of the 4 girls. She is suffering from a non existent relationship with her husband due to her overweight and his work.Anita is a brave and the aggressive women who we see nowadays, she confuses between true confidence- which is what aggression really is to violence, she also has to find a real relationship in her love life.Finally Zeba khan the Bollywood superstar who faces jet-lag,privacy invasion and has to get her morals right........
All these different women share a unlikely friendship , sprung when they were classmates.The story shifts between present which deals with their day to day problems and the past......which has a dynamic secret,their classmate lily's death.......everyone hates her and these 4 even planned to kill her. So did they really kill her? what was her past? will they solve their problems and how? forms the rest of the story. The book has been written exceptionally well with eye for details. One can really relate to the girls problems and all the characters are etched out really well specially sam's bro Harpoon's character was a standout.The story's narration is really good swinging the balance properly between the past and present.
However,the central character lily could have been done better and the hatred the girls show towards turns illogical as there are no actual chapters portraying her evilness , it appears hearsay! and the climax is quite a letdown as it is over expected......but kudos for the portion after that.
This book truly showcases Girl power in its own way and is a most enjoyable read with many fun elements!
verdict - Must read!
...................AND I don't want anyone to be cross with me as this is just my point of view! enjoy!
