Why this Kolaveri Di?

          In my sleep deprived state,I was not sure my eyes were working properly.I mean,I know I saw it,but still had to confirm.Yes,I was definitely going mad.What with studying every night,the last week,I was sure my eyes were playing tricks on me.The very thought that my sister had heard a Tam song before I did,was ridiculous.It was unsettling,it made me feel like I had ceased to be a teen from that instant and somehow I became old.
         It all started with that status message she posted in Facebook.It went something like this.."Just heard,why this kolaveri di?.An effing awesome song :D"..Closing my books,and opening my half closed eyes,I started searching the net frantically for that song.It was around eleven thirty in the night and I knew I had to be quick coz I can browse only till twelve.Google Search,thank God,gave me results in a matter of a few nano seconds.I clicked the first link which happened to give me the lyrics.I glanced at it and was for a few instants stupified.What utter gibberish.This piece of crap was making news?And my sister,whom I always believed to have a decent taste in music,actually liked THIS?Okay,now I know for sure that studying signals was taking its toll.I was slowly but surely becoming mad.
         Anyways,I decided not to make any hasty decisions and searched for a link that would give me the song.But every time I found one,It would say something like,"Proxy Error" or "Not a safe site.If you think this site is safe contact your helpdesk@ssn.so so".Getting fed up,I went to the third page of the results and tried one last time.And I guess lady luck was on my side now.Yay!!!I got it :D..I quickly downloaded it and listened to the song.The first thing that caught my attention was Dhanush's voice which sort of sounded drowsy.I later learned that,it was the effect of making him sound like he was drunk.And I think it worked fabulously.
         "This song is awesome,really really awesome"..that  was my first thought.The lyrics were lol max,what with soup boys,holy cow and all.It was in my sister's words,just effing awesome :D..The tune was catchy(almost a million people have said that now)..but the best part of the song,according to me,was the feel that Dhanush imparted to it.It was like nothing I have ever heard before.Professional opinion may be different..but to a layman in music like me,I'm sure it's going to remain in their playlist for at least two months. :-)
         Within two days,I heard so many people talking about it,so many people using it in context with exams,with their jobs and all,that it was very very entertaining.The song had become a sensation,I could not only see it but I also read so many many many articles about this song.One particular article in The Deccan Chronicles had this very apt title "Kola very good" and it compared this song with a paneer dosa.I think I liked the latter part of it more than the article itself :D
 P.S.Hope the other songs from 3 are THIS good :-)

 P.S.1...Just heard one of my North Indian friends listening to this song :D





 

Growing Up :D

I've always been short.Yes,always.Ever since my 9th standard,I was one among the first two persons to stand in the morning assembly line.Its always bothered me a little,I s'pose..coz if we stand first,we're more likely to get caught when we talk during the prayers..And I have to sit in the first bench,right under the teacher's nose :-(..No copying in tests,no eating during class hours,no taking part in the discussions which always took place at the back of the class.And the worst part was I had to concentrate in every class.There was simply no other option. So basically,there was not much fun involved.

       And to top it off,my English teacher during my 9th and 10th,wanted me to plait my already short hair.In order to avoid that I cut it again so that I only had to wear a hair band,giving me a permanently childish look :D Stupid move on my part,I now agree :-( 

       Coming back..Once in my 11th standard my Chemistry miss told me to sit in the second last bench.I was so ecstatic with my new found freedom,that I over used it a lil :-)..Hmmm,okay,A Lot :D..We ended up talking so much that she again shifted me to the 2nd bench :-( 

       And there is also the fact that most people ask me if I'm doing my tenth now..which is humiliating,to say the least..As of now,in all my nineteen years of living,only my milkman has asked me if I had finished my college :D

       I should know by now,that appearances don't matter..that they can be deceiving and all that..but one little corner of my heart tells me that I should have tried more.Maybe I should have tried liking complan or  B-protein more, may be I should have hung on to tree branches or may be I should have tried skipping or simply I could have jumped more :-(..And now,after all these years,one of my close friends (who is also short :D)tells me that drinking more water will make me grow :-)..

       Ah,crap..whom am I trying to fool?I did try all those things..except skipping,of course.I'm much too lazy for that ..if my laziness and my wish to grow tall are kept in a balance or something,I'm sure laziness would win :D..Growing tall,according to me,must be an art,which I have failed to master :-(

      But two things bring me solace whenever I think of myself as one kulla kathrika (literal traslation : Short brinjal )..One,My Entire family is short..My sister,my father,my father's father..and the list goes on..:DSo,basically my sister and I have to blame my dad,and he has to blame his dad and so on..which kind of makes it funny :-)

       The next thing would be..I'm an optimist.I know at some point,I'll grow..taller than Vignesh or Shruthi (who are the two tallest people in our class)and I would call them kutti Vignesh and kutti Shruthi respy :D..I'll be some 6 feet + by then,that people would have to look up and speak to me :D Yes,that's gonna happen..surely..in the next three years :D

       But,you know what the saddest part is?..Even though I go on and on and on about being short..I never ever feel sorry for myself..never get irritated when someone calls me short or asks me if I'm in my tenth..I just act hurt,but in reality,I laugh..because somehow,It's funny :D..And somehow its not going to matter if I don't grow tall ;-)

      MORAL OF THE STORY: Congratulations!!! You've just wasted some 1 minutes 40 seconds of your time reading nothing important and finally realising that the author(that would be me :P) has simply written some arbitrary emotional crap :D 

P.S. Time wastage intended :P
P.S. Those who have mastered the art,please stop raising your collar :P

Have a nice day!!!Cheers!!!

      

My awesome 19th Birthday :)

Left alone to my thoughts,I found it wandering towards the evening of the 19^th of August. I was told later that my friends started planning my birthday long back, a month back..to be exact. Btw guys ,I am flattered :D Their plan goes like this..
          At 12 am on the 20th of August,2011 ,I was to be woken up and brought to Rashmi's room where they would have already done the decoration stuff and have my birthday cake ready .I was to cut the cake and give it to everyone .After that they would apply the cream on my face and take a picture .Then while I was cleaning my face they would switch off the lights and show me the video that Aarthi and Rashmi made .When this gets over ,they would give me my present which was to be a dress which Rashmi has bought and it will turn out to be a perfect fit. I would then comment on it and they would have the pleasure of saying that Rashmi's younger sister was about my height which had made buying it easier. Another surprise would be that I wouldn't know Vaishnavi was in the hostel,for she would put on an act that ,at any cost she wouldn't miss her school's Sports Day and would leave home in the college bus .So,when she shows up to wish me ,I would be taken by surprise and overcome by delight that she was in fact THERE when I had thought she was not :)
         It appears to be a flawless plan and it would have worked out very well if I had not been an astute person .Okay , yes ,that's a lie :D.I am in no way astute. In other words, I am one big BULB :(...But in this case, these people made so many huge blunders that even  "I" (And that's one big capital I) was able to find out.
        The first blunder was when Sumathi asked me if her dresses would fit me!!! I (being astute :P ) knew instantly that they were going to give me a dress :D..I mean, I can't be that stupid :D .The second one was when Vaish first told me that she wouldn't be there on my birthday. I was raving mad(and that would be an understatement :D )I started shouting at her at the top of my voice. Unfortunately(or fortunately??) this happened while we were eating in the mess and created quite a scene. Aarthi and Rashmi tried to calm me down by saying that she actuallly wasn't going, and this was actually a part of a big surprise... which sort of gave it away :D. By then I realized what was happening and acted as if I didn't hear them. Vaish still trying to maintain it ( :D )sat there looking sorry that she would miss my b’day :)..I acted as if I were angry with her even after we came to the room...So,the plan continued :)
      The third one was the day before my birthday..Vaish was supposed to be home by then and she sent me messages saying that she was sorry and stuff, still trying to maintain the act :D..Rashmi was talking on the phone and I asked who she was talking to..to which she replied "Appa kitta "..but I had heard her saying " Aan Sollu" on the phone and I know for a fact that her constant dialogue when she talked to her dad is "Aan Yes Pa"..which confirmed my suspicions that Vaishnavi was still in the hostel :D..Me ,being brilliant ,thought she would definitely be in one of those rooms which I visited the least, so I made surprise checks to some rooms on the 2nd floor trying to catch her in the act :D..but then, she proved that she was far more clever than me by staying in Akshaya's room which is like 20 steps from ours :(
      The fourth one would be when Rashmi asked me what song I liked the most. From that ,I knew they were making a video for me :D .Then the last one was just awesome..I had to go out of the room where I burst out laughing…
      Sumathi was sent to my room to prevent me from going upstairs (they were doing the decoration stuff) in case I had the urge to do that. Little did they know that I would never ever climb 2 floors unless they assured me there were Hide n Seek biscuit packets in their room :D..Anyways , I came into my room and asked Sumathi casually where Rashmi was..to which she became agitated and told (actually begged) me not to go to the 3rd floor and that she would do anything I wanted her to do..which is weird , coz ,after me ,she is the laziest person alive :D..hmmm, I'm still smiling when I think of that :D
       By 11:30 I was sound asleep and when Prithvi came and called me to Rashmi's room at 11:55,I just went with her. At their doorstep they shouted Happy Birthday. I went inside smiling like an idiot, saw Vaish but didn't actually show that much of a surprise..saw the cake(a chocolate cake :D),cut it after making a wish and coz I couldn't resist, I ate the first piece myself..Only after gulping down about two extra large pieces of the cake, did I start giving it to everybody :D Needless to say I was covered with cake after a few seconds and I posed gracefully ( I think!!!)for the camera :D..After that was the video, which damaged my image to the fullest extent  :)..(Thanks again Aarthi and Rash)..Then the gift came from Prithvi..a complete stationary set :D I am forever borrowing stuff from others and I start writing with whatever pen which is near to me :D So,Prithvi I would like to say a very BIG thank you again and I would be more grateful if you gave me the same thing next year too :D(coz,by then I would have definitely lost these!!! :( )Then came the top and I was wise enough to say nothing in front of all those people :) But, then Vaish was a little disappointed that her surprise didn't work out ( I had blurted it out earlier).Stupid, stupid me :(..
     My greatest surprise was yet to come, I found out later :).As soon as I entered the class Rags and Tharini gave me their gift and wished me :D..After the maths class was over, I went to the mess,ate and returned to the department coz I had lab :(..Just when I was about to comment "Life is so unfair"(My favourite dialogue),coz of the DE lab and stuff,Tharini told me she left her bottle in the canteen..We hurried back with her bringing her bag along and I, being my usual self, commented upon it ..to which she replied that she had a hundred rupees note in that bag!!!We went inside and we (at least I )started searching the place and when it was not there, started shouting at her, telling her that she was one irresponsible person and all that. To this little outburst of mine she smiled calmly and took out her water bottle from her bag. It was only then did I see the cake and my face actually glowed after seeing the strawberry cream (or so I was told :) )My astuteness must have suddenly disappeared :D..On the cake  kutti Vidya was written(which has sort of become my name, Thanks to Vignesh Sabarinath :P )..Anyways,It was one awesome cake :)Thank You so much guys :)
                 Above all the fun I had, you know what touched me the most? The fact that you cared enough to go to such lengths to make my birthday wonderful..Vaish that part was specifically meant for you :)(Sorry, I am not good at writing senti stuff )And to think I wanted to miss all this fun..I am stupid right? :D

Physics,Chicken Invadors,Blogs n stuff...

I read this blog recently which was written by an IITian and was titled Physics-True pursuit of knowledge..:O.The content goes something like this...Physics quenches our thirst for knowledge,though it does not help us in our day to day life.It truly makes our mind to work and so on...
              So,after seeing this I took out a really big quantum mech. book and started reading it,thinking that it will develop my intellect,make my brain to really work for once...You know what I ended up doing...???snoring loudly that my opposite room friends had to come and wake me up..:D
                       Anyways..as the story goes..I decided I should do something to inculcate the passion for studies and did a lot of research..what I found out was even more amazing ....there are many people who like what they do,who enjoy doing what they do,who are actually good at something...not totally clueless about what they are going to do in the future like me...:(Realising that this was a very serious issue I went on to try a lot of stuff which includes singing,sketching(..:D..I know it's totally not me..:) ),some movie editing stuff,blogging etc... from what I've told you,you can see I went to great lengths find out what I was interested in ..:D..
                                        Each of these attempts ended in a disaster..:D..I knew singing wouldn't work for sure coz the last time I tried to learn it properly my sir had to literally push me out the door to keep me from singing(I was pretty bad..:D).Oh,It was not because of my enthusiasm that made me really persistent  if that was what you were thinking..:D..It was simply because I was really bored doing nothing at home and I followed my sister around like a hutch dog everywhere she went..:D
                                     Trying to sketch was the worst disaster,I would say..:(..But then I knew it wouldn't work either.:(..Way back in KG 2,when we had our painting exam I was given a quarter-sized chart to draw a flower and me being as intelligent as I am drew this very tiny little flower which my teacher had to see with a magnifying lens..My mom said my teacher failed me because of that and she had to go and ask the principal to make me pass..:D..which in turn proves that crayons and I were not the best of friends from the very beginning..:D
                             Putting behind all my failed efforts to find out something that I would really really want to do,I realised this was not the time to worry about the bigger things in life...and started playing Chicken Invadors to which I still remain faithful..:D..and to say the least I play it with a passion which borders on madness..:D.And my true intent for all that work has been realised as I actually like what I am doing now..:D      


P.S.I still do not know the intent of this post..but then who cares..:D:D
