Tweets are costly!

In my last blog entry I had written about how the internet and networking sites have penetrated our daily lives.No sooner had I posted that,there comes the rather expected news of the disgraceful downfall of two ‘great’ men.All because they both tweeted in the wee hours of the night waking up everybody else in the process.As far as the history shows,Twitter has caused many a flutter among the social class.Remember the row between the producers of three idiots and chetan bhagath?Chethan showed his weaker side by blocking certain people in his twitter who supposedly was ‘against’ him.
Lets come to the present saga between lalit modi and shashi tharoor.From the beginning Mr.Tharoor had explicitly displayed his incompetency in ‘Indian politics’.(Remember he was the runner up for the UN General Secretary post).There is a saying in malayalam which vaguely translates as ,,Many a war was caused either due to booty or beauties.
The cause here was both.Modi wanted his booty and Tharoor preferred his beauty,Sunanda Pushkar.
Mr.Tharoor was elected from my hometown,thiruvananthapuram.We all cheered for him .All the youngsters supported and voted for him expecting much from him in return,There were also some, who voted for him jus for his looks( he seemed like an oasis in the vast desert of old men waiting with their one leg already in grave)I don’t know which among the top two categories my sis belongs to since she celebrated the victory of tharoor for an entire day when the next day was her semester exam(that too without mourning for our dear MJ’s sad demise).Lately someone in MTV said the most hilarious thing about tharoor,that Rakhi Sawanth was feeling very insecure about her first place as controvery queen which has been actively chased by Mr.Tharoor.
When He had his first controversy about the ‘cattle class’,there were many supporting him in twitter,but slowly only we realised that he has his ‘foot stuck in his mouth’.perenially!
To talk about Modi,I can only think of one thing,Its has become an unaccepted truth in India that anyone who shoots to fame out of the blue and has so much money riding on him will definetly be on muddy waters.In this case it just took a little longer for Modi to lose the grip in the mud.
Last Word:: If you have decided to break the rules,then better learn to face the heat.

marriage!!!:)

Its unbelievable how internet has penetrated our lives isn’t it?.Orkut and Facebook has become a way of life now and the baap of all, the mighty “Google”; where u can find the answers to all your questions, amazingly!!!!!!.
Next time someone yells at you to ‘get lost’, just google it and u can definitely get lost……believe me!!!!
An incident took place at our house last week. Before I state that, let me give you a brief preview on whatz happening at our house for the past few months….. The only subject, that’s been talked about between my mom and dad is about my marriage( being single after employed isint a disgrace to anyone….wake up…) . Now nobody will find groom hunting strange, but what makes it strange in my case is that my parents eat, drink and sleep on matrimonial sites….(whew!!). My kid sis is now behaving like my naani advising me on my future prospectus husbands….as if she has the whole worlds experience there……… BUT, alert mates….the greatest gyaan comes from my cousin brother who can predict the behaviour of the boy by just looking at his photo, mind it, that too a passport size….(naah, no appointments with him is issued now, so don’t think of playing your card there…...)and to add more to all this mess, just recently I saw an ad on TV (which is yet to be discovered by my parents)about a new matrimonial site where you relatives from both sides can come online and chat with each other. How weird is that!!!!!..(guaranteed your network provider is good enough).oh yes, my cousin brother stands as a exception, he dosent require even those exchanged glories to recognize one…J

Sorry….. got carried away, was about to mention the incident na?
Yeah… the most recent proposal,a decent looking guy with a good job, which I rejected as usual…. Dad, as obvious as it is, claimed for an explanation for my rejection…
“see dad..,I read his orkut profile( thank his majesty, the social networking sites) and to be modest it wasn’t impressive.”
He looked stunned and after a few moments of silence he retorted
“ I agreed to marry your mother after seeing her once, that too at a time when there was a powercut in the house”.
I smiled and asked him back.”so you think you are fortunate or unfortunate”?
Then comes the reply “mole life requires a lot of adjustments”
To which my mom’s(who just entered the scene) blank expression replied….


PS: dedicated to all fellow mortals who is constantly abused, tortured and blackmailed by the supreme divine institution called MARRIAGE

Standing next to you



i feel i have the world on my own


I wish and i hope everyday


that i wake up to your warm breath in my neck


i love the way you look at me, the


way your eyes tell me that "I love you"


with that one touch of yours, a


thousand butterflies fiy in my stomach


I know you would frown when you hear this


but i secretly wish to wrap u around my fingers :)      all the time :)






So by now i think you know that


I have fallen for you, But.....


As you lie in my lap and i run my hand


through your hair..


with an ocean of tears in my eyes, drop by drop


rolling down my cheeks


I realise, i cant have you on my own forever......


But the love you gave, will be cherished


for a life time....


One thing i know for sure


these are the most wonderful days of my life


And my heaven is definetly in your arms.

on my own

i wanted to take the road less taken,
but in the process i lose my way too often.
i want to close my eyes and cry out loud,very loud
but,alas,i realise i am on my own
lucky to meet one or two..
the day is getting darker and the sounds deeper
i should get home before my mamma worries
but,before me ,the path divides,
again i stand there confused..
i prefer the road less travelled

listen! hear everything that falls on your ear

filter all of it..

allow only the 'wanted' to reach your heart

comment only on the precious ones

but,keep it alive in your mind

silence is worthwhile everywhere

scare flu??

we keep getting forwarded mails at office.some rubbish but most ,informative.recently i got one about swine flu.its was not the regular one about the precautions and the safety measures.in fact it was a totally different one without the scary undernotes.even the beginning started unusually declaring that this forwarded mail is unedited and unverified by the sender.this in itself provoked me to read furter.after the usual introductions about the orgin and cause of this much hyped disease ,it went about like this...
that about 136 people have only died in the past year and a half from this disease worldwide.the particular virus that causes this flu can only survive at a temperature of 27 degrees or less..it came as a surprise to me because pune's temperature at the peak of the disease scare was 33 degrees and higher.and from all the news channels and mails and hoardings, i had a feeling that atleast 100 people would have died in india alone.in fact most of the people who had died had other serious ailments before they caught the flu.the mail went on to say that the vaccines for the swine flu is patented by an US company and the stocks of the vaccines would get expired by next year.for a person the vaccine would cost 3000 rs.so what should we infer from all the scare that have been created in india..?it would all be explained by the profits that the vested interests would be making in the near future.
