The other day I was listening to Vaaranam Aayiram while having an impromptu drive with a friend… I was recollecting every scene as the songs kept playing… Lovely songs and amazing visuals… I like them so much that got the videos downloaded to my phone… I remembered how I badly wanted to watch the first day first show of that movie. But since I did not get tickets, settled with second day first show. So here goes my recollection of the entire day.

My company has a celluloid club which offers tickets for the latest releases… One would not want to miss such an opportunity the theater being Sathyam. So when the mail came announcing tickets for Vaaranam Aayiram I didn’t want to miss it for anything in the world… Called Prem in advance to book tickets for me offline… It really pays to know so many people in office. I didn’t have to stand in queue in front of Prem’s desk. My tickets were taken care off ;) The plan was to watch the movie with Jannu. But her ill luck the show timings were 7.30a.m on a Saturday morning… Now expecting Jannu to wake up earlier than 10 o clock is like expecting snowfall in Chennai ;) And I didn’t want to miss the movie. So I was wondering whom to take along… Not many wanted to come being it that early in the morning. Now I can’t expect everybody to be as crazy as me. So finally I decided to take my sister along.

My sister was having her semester exams those days and initially my mom was skeptical about letting her go for the movie. But wonder of wonders my dad gives her a big go for the movie. I have never got permission to do such a thing during my semesters… This was atrocious… I was even banned from watching TV – the reason being I might forget whatever I read… Too much… Whatever, we got perm and I was happy that I didn’t have to go alone for the movie. On the ‘D’ day I woke up with a constant ringing of alarm, which I realized after I was wide awake was my sister’s… A gal who does not get up even to study during her semesters early morning (she prefers to sit up late) has kept alarm for 6a.m :O She woke up before me, brushed, showered and asked me to make Bournvita for her… I did not have any words for her… I was just overwhelmed with surprise and shock… It was super dark outside and I thought the sun is yet to rise ;) Little did I realize then that it was gonna pour like crazy in sometime… Suddenly I hear a heavy downpour… I literally wanted to scream out at the Rain God… All my plans to watch Surya gone down in rain… That’s when I decided rain or storm or sun I’m gonna watch the movie come what may… I was happy that my sister too shared the same spirit… At times like these is when I love my sister a lot…

I got out my raincoat, umbrella, jacket and everything possible that would keep my sister dry (she has an exam to attend) so I didn’t want her to get wet… By then my parents also woke up… My dad offered to drop us but it was already late… So all dressed in raincoat and stuff my sister and I set out to watch Vaaranam Aayiram :) With the rain lashing mercilessly it was fun to drive in the rain… Never ever done that before and I doubt if I would do it again too… Luckily there weren’t many people on the road… Ya ya what would one wanna do on the road with the heavy rains… People aren’t crazy… We finally reached the theater 15mins early and had enough time to dry ourselves and watch the amazing movie… This experience is something I would never ever forget…

I know well what I am fleeing from but not what I am in search of. ~Michel de Montaigne

I am: fun loving, romantic freak, sweet, impatient and a cranky person at times.

I think: parents should let go of their inhibitions and chill out with us like good friends.

I know: what I’m doing is right for me.

I want: my friends to always be there for me just the way I will be there for them.

I have: many friends and feel lucky to have them.

I wish: to live happily ever after…

I hate: it when it rains like crazy and am all decked up to go out.

I miss: those days when all I had to do was come back from school, do my homework and play hide and seek with friends.

I fear: of stepping out of my bed in the night thinking a pair of hands might come and grab my legs :(

I feel: like having all the varieties of ice creams and still not get bored of it.

I hear: to Nenjukull Peidhidum almost everyday and still never get bored of it.

I smell: the yummy Kadai Paneer pizza that I had as a snack in the evening ;)

I crave: for those sweet nothing moments.

I search: for eternal happiness.

I wonder: why I’m so impatient?

I regret: not being close with my family.

I love: to paint, chat endlessly and read books.

I ache: when I see kids and old people begging on the streets and at traffic signals.

I care: for my fellow beings and see to it that I don’t hurt them.

I am not: a saint to let go of everything, certain things just cannot be forgiven and forgotten.

I believe: I can always do what I want no matter where and how I’m.

I dance: like no one’s watching.

I sing: quite ok. I love to listen to myself singing.

I cry: but I don’t let others see my tears.

I don’t always: let out things that bother me.

I fight: like crazy with my sister though most of the fights are really silly.

I write: when am happy. I write when am sad. I write when I’m in love.

I win: most of the time in arguments ;)

I lose: when I want somebody else to win just to see the smile on their face.

I never: forget to brush my teeth before sleeping in the night.

I always: keep cleaning things and prefer them to be organized and neat.

I confuse: myself over the silliest of things.

I listen: to my mom complaining that I never listen to her almost every morning, noon and night ;)

I can usually be found: lazing on my bed, listening to songs and with a book in hand.

I am scared: I might wake up one day and find myself stranded on an island surrounded by crocodile and lizards... Eeeeeeeeeeeewwwww...

I need: to learn to be more patient and get a control over my temper.

I am happy about: the way life has shaped up for me.

This something i wrote really long back but never posted... Came across this 1 while reading my diary...

You

Is it jus me or does it really exist ?
Why do i get excited the moment our eyes meet ?
I wait for it to happen and it happens when i least expect it..
How i wait to jus catch a glimpse of u, my day feels incomplete without it...

Ur cute lil smile, ur aristocratic walk, the lovely talk who wouldnt wanna have it for life...
If i were a guy and u a gal i wudnt have spared a moment but jus gone on my knees 4 u,
To ask ur hand in marriage..
You dont have to ask me jus look into my eyes which are jus waitin to tell you - Yes, I will...

I don’t understand how a piece of paper with boxes can take control of your life just like that... Yes I’m talking about HOROSOCPE… I guess it can be called “HORRORSCOPE” instead… For 2 people to be wedded in happy matrimony why do you have to check a piece of paper and consult some priest or astrologer?? Being happy in a marriage is in the hands of the couple… I don’t understand how in 21st century people still believe in horoscope and astrology… It sucks big time I tell you… I’m surprised those guys predict the next 20yrs ahead of you and tell you that things are gonna be bad… I’m just wondering do these guys give you only bad news or they have given good news also ? I have never heard of such a thing… Its all just a method to milk you out of your hard earned money… They tell you this is wrong, that is wrong do this pooja and things will be alright… Who will do the pooja, the astrologer says with a big heart I’m there right, will take care of everything, and you just pay me by cash… Gawddddd… Save us from such people… If only I could strangle those guys…

All they have to tell you is that things would not be fine and thats it your parents go crazy... As if things were already very smooth in life these guys jump in to decide our life for us... I cant believe the other day when the astrologer said if this particular gal and guy get married there will be issues, in laws will trouble the poor gal and the guy will divorce her... Atrocious... Any person with brains would have stormed out of that place at that instant... Nobody thinks about what the gal and the boy feel about the whole thing... Already they are confused over the whole marriage thingy, to top it booom comes the astrolger with a truck load of crap... I really dont know where the world is going with all this astrology, palmistry, numerology, blah, blah and blah..

But if given a chance I would be happy to prove the piece of paper wrong !!!
