He was looking intensely into the mirror. He could see a burly,bearded face with a look of immense anxiety. A war of contemplation was going on inside his head "Should i do it???? Should i just leave it????". It had taken him years to get to this position, and he was not going to make any simple mistakes. His life flashed before his eyes!!! Millions of voices were waging a third world war inside his head. He then closed his eyes to imagine the consequence of the action which he was about to do. After some thinking and imagining he finally decided that he would carry on with it. The weapon was right where he had left it the last time. The weapon was quite small, but to our hero it was more intimidating than a gladiator wielding a shield and a long sword. He finally summed up all the courage he had and took it in his hand. The intensity of the voices inside his head was cumulating exponentially. He looked at the mirror where he could say a pale white face. He closed his eyes for one last time, said a small prayer and in one quick motion slashed his weapon onto his unsuspecting prey. The voices started to slowly subside inside him. And then in a fit of rage he did the same motion until he decimated his prey. He then started to analyze his situation carefully. All the voices could no longer be heard inside him. He finally felt he was in peace.


















































Bye Bye Moustache!!!!! :-)

Torential Happiness!!!!

Have you ever wondered how boring it is to sit at home during the rainy season? The air is asphyxiated with the mixed scent of the rain water and the soil (Mann Vasanai for those ignorant people). Straying around with buddies is ruled out. Well lets face it, most of us would want to get totally drenched from head to toe but we have certain anti-fun elements such as Semester exams, MOM (Who would obviously give a “I WILL KILL YOU IF YOU GET WET IN THE RAIN” look).


I was just sitting on my bed enjoying Mother Nature weep, when I realized that we people have become obsessed workaholics which made us miss the more beautiful things in life which have just gone unnoticed. As I look out my window I see a picture filled with the GREEN HOUSE EFFECT. The pakoda and the samosa sales in the nearby tea stall would have achieved an all time record today. There are this caste of people who care no less about the rain than we students care about our semester exams. The sound of the rain drops lashing on the window as if begging to be let in, the sight of the trees having a well deserved bath after days of solar torture and people scrambling for cover provides an elegant, mind calming sight.

When I was a kid, I always wanted to be a grown up without any exams or homework. I thought I would not have to deal with such problems and lead a life which was tension free. Now would the best of times to use the very famous phrase “The grass is always greener on the other side”. As I see a bunch of kids jumping in the rain without any tribulation of any sorts, I wish I had a time traveling machine (Try helping me out here Calvin!!!!). The human mind is a funny thing. We long for things we don’t have and when we do get those “THINGS” our mind jumps to more complex demands or it wants things to stay the way it was before. When was the last time you went out with your friends, when was the last time we laughed till our stomach hurt. Sometimes we forget to enjoy the gifts given to us by “The Man Upstairs”. The rain is slowly subsiding and I can now see the trees nodding happily. Looks like those darn guys had a wonderful time J, The small kid inside me is putting forth his list of desires which I would have been able to fulfill hadn’t it been for my mature mind.


But I was just able to satisfy one request of “MINI ME”. The drenching session which lasted 5 minutes was by far the best thing which ever happened to me in the recent past which was filled with record submissions, bonafide signing and constant nagging to study (SIGH!!!!!!)





RAIN ROCKS!!!!!!!

World's greatest ILLUSIONISTS!!!!!

“God created earth and rested. Then, god created man and rested. Finally god created women. After that neither god nor man ever rested.”

We men think they are the flowers walking on the face of this earth, we think they epitomize the good, gentle sector of the Homo Sapiens. Well “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled on us was convincing the world he never existed”. We are amazed by how David Copperfield can make The Statue of Liberty vanish but little did we realize that there is a better, bigger illusion right in front of very eyes craving for attention each and everyday. Girls or Diabolicus Devilishious are like a human’s fingerprints. What I am trying to tell is that No two girls are same. An erudite, who can predict how women can behave is the equivalent of God. But such a person existing is purely theoretical. Wile E. Coyote might finally catch up with the Roadrunner, but it will take ages to find our “Theoretical Erudite”.

Our subject, Diabolicus Devilishious has many “Avatars”. We will constrain ourselves to the very interesting sub-category of this vast species. We have a mind blowing variety, ranging from “Look at me!!! I am so cute”, “The Tomboys” to the “I have a b***** attitude”. But from the COLLEGE point of view, the most widely sought species are “The Figures”. The range of this peculiar species depends on the level of sophistication of the COLLEGE. But the base character of them are the same, “Make the most out of someone’s misery”. They give the most misleading signals which followed might make you end up Krypton instead of the desired location which may be the “Maligai” kadai in the corner of the street. Some of the other not so eminent ones are the “Nalla Ponnunga” and the “I have to study hard 24 * 7 and end up marrying the lousiest guy on the planet”. But not much information is readily available about this particular cult. Many conspiracy theorists/psychologists tried analyzing about them but ended up realizing that they were fighting the Spartan 300 using nothing but a blunt pencil.

There is this widespread theory, according to which The rate of spending of money is directly proportional to the ravishingness of the opposite sex. Personally I think this is something which might make Einstein and Newton come out of their grave and kick the “Donkey” of the guy who actually thinks that this is true. But there is also this sect of “Pasanga” who has come up with a new style/attitude or “Whatever u may call that crap”, which has been aspersed as “Flirting” or “Kadalai”. But from the point of view of certain “Pasanga”, just a casual talk might lead them to misinterpret that the poor guy who might be trying to get some intellectual knowledge out of the “Nerdy” girl is actually “Kadalai Pottufying” with her. This leads to the very irritating act of teasing or Ottifying Idioticus which is more annoying than Janice’s laugh(O!!!!!!!!! MY GODDDDD!!!!!!!!) .

Now coming to the most interesting and most discussed event, which is more complex than integration, differentiation, mindset of politicians put together. Yeah you guessed it right!!! Its what the “Pasanga” call “Correcting” (What the hell guys???? Cant you come up with more innovative crap!!!). I spent an entire night pondering over how this weird “Term” came into existence. Guys!!! These are human beings. Not walking, talking answer sheets!!! (Maybe they got confused because Renduthayum Thiruthave Mudiyaadhu). In order to “Correct” (Jesus Christ!!! After reading this atleast stop using that stupid term!!!) the Womenfolk we employ various phase changes which include “I am the COOL DUDE of the locality”, “I am the HUNK you are looking for” (Pleassssssssssssssssssssssssssssse) when all you need to do is K.I.S.S. (Stop imaging crap!!! Its Keep It Simple Stupid).

Even though we know that we are heading right down into TROUBLE CITY we still pursue the same path that our “ANCESTORS” followed. That’s the beauty of women!! All this knowledge and “PAST EXPERIENCE” still don’t help us. The minute we see a Cute Diabolicus Devilishious pass by we become Stareium Stupidactus. Now I understand what Einstein meant by “Only two things are infinte: The universe and Human Stupidity” and Vinnie Jones (In the movie SNATCH) when he said:

“NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE PREDICTABILITY OF HUMAN STUPIDITY” :-)

P.S. This was just for fun you girls!!!! "I STILL LOVE U ALL" ;-)

My idol, "A TRUE CHAMPION"

July 8th 2006 is a day which will sat etched in my mind for a long long time. The finals of the wimbeldon 2007 began at around 5 30 and it was a match which i was waiting to see for a long long time because the finals involved my favourite player Roger Federer.


Born on the 8th of august (just 2 days before me. Cha :) ) in switzerland he won his first wimbeldon title in the year 2003 and went on to win the 2004,2005,2006 versions of the same tournament. Ever since then he has become an icon in the world of sporting. Todays finals was between roger and nadal. From "LOVE ALL" the match went with a bang with neither of the two conceding their serves. Federer finally won the first set via a tiebreaker. The second set was taken by nadal,the third by roger and the fourth by federer. As a die hard federer fan i could not watch my man making so many unforced errors(an unbelievable 29 in this match) which is not his kind of playing but even then i was glued to the television biting my nails marking the true form of a tensed guy :) . Adding fuel to that fire was ami with whom i was reviewing each and every shot played. It was as if we were running our own commentary team :D . Finally in the final set at 2 games each federer held his serve making it 3-2 to federer and in an amazing show of fitness and awesome talent, federer went on to break nadal's serve making it 4-2 to federer which was definitely the turning point of the match. The winner was an on the line forehand after which Federer who normally does not show his emotions screams making it clear to everyone that he is determined to win this year's title too. After then it is just history. Federer went on to win the championship title 6-2 breaking nadal in the final set. The final point was an amazing volley and the next thing you know "The great champ" collapses down on the grass crying like a little child. Mentally and physically exhausted he just breaks down and stopped only when he realised it was time for getting the trophy :D.



Another thing which they showed was that he had 4 stickers on his carrying bag. It was a sticker of the switzerland flag in golden colour with the years 2003,2004,2005,2006 printed on each sticker symbolizing his consecutive victories in the respective years in this tournament. He broke two records on this day.

1.Serving the most number of aces in a wimbeldon final match- 25 (The previous record was 19)

2. He equalled the record of Bjorn Borg's consecutive wimbeldon titles- 5 (who was present for the match)

Finally i went back to sleep basking in the memory of my champion hitting the winning point and hoping that he will beat Bjorn Borg's record in the upcoming year making him an all time great( But he kinda already is :D ). But i actually feel sad because i was not able to look at the reaction of my cousin who was against federer(cheeeeeeeeeeez...come on nandini... jump to the winning side for once :D ) because she is leaving to madras for her medicine counselling. All the best doctor :)!!!!

The word MUSIC has many meanings in itself. One of them would be a medium or a feeling which eases your mind. I myself am an ardent music lover. One can tell that very easily when music alone occupies close to about 10 GB of my disk space :) . When someone gets immersed in the ocean of music all his vital organs gets soothed and he goes into his own world. One of my favourite band in METALLICA. These guys are the "ROCK GODS". Their music makes many across the world go into a trance and they live in their own separate world(But certain people wouldnt like these heavy metal songs :) ). So this post is to my "GODS" who have given me hours and hours of pleasure,freedom or however u may call it :)


Metalllica primarily consists of 4 members: James Hetfield(Lead singer and guitarist), Kirk Hammett(Lead guitarist),Jason Newsted(Base guitarist) and Lars Ulrich(Drummer). But this is not the original metallica band. But i am going to post about these dudes because i love the songs which these people composed :) .

1.James Hetfield:

Just look at the picture. You see a cool guy playing the guitar and singing at the same time while it looks like a freakish fire accident has happened behind him. This guy is my icon,my idol,my "GURU". His voice is mindblowing. When he sings he literally goes on a rampage. God has created something simply wonderful in his voice. James is the original founder of metallica.

2.Kirk Hammett:


Kirk hammett aka Kirk Lee Hammett is the lead guitarist. All the riffs or the amazing sounds heard in every song is the enchanting work of this man. He was formerly a member of the rock band "EXODUS" and then joined metallica. I have never seen a guy who is so good than him. He does look like he is gay :P

3.Jason Newsted:


He is the base guitarist. But there is just one thing about him,. Whenever he plays he keeps his face as if the guy is constipating. I dont know the reason for that but the guy is the best ever :P

4. Lars Ulrich:


Lars Ulrich is the german drummer. He is also the other remaining member of the original metallica. The man creates the hard environment for all the songs.

Here below are some of my favourite songs of metallica. Try listening to them.

*Nothing else matters
*Fade to black
*For whom the bell tolls
*Unforgiven II
*Hero of the day
*Mama said
*Sad but true
*Enter sandman
*One
*Harvester of sorrow
*Turn the page
*Fuel
*The memory remains

Fade to black:

Metallica - Fade T...

2.Turn the page

Metallica-Turn The...

3.Hero of the day

04 - Hero Of The D...
