Work work and more work...

Attribution has planned a short hiatus to its blogging activity. I attribute this decision to serious pressure of academics and work load.

Nearing.... its coming.....

Its coming closer and its on its track and arriving on time, Iam not looking forward to it.. IAm looking at the calender it was to come in exactly 4 days time, its 10th already, Its not a train or a post nor anything that I was looking forward to; but fail to understand the hype...

But thousands of love-lorn youngsters its the d day for it could make or break a relationship.

Its the VALENTIN(M)E"S DAY.

In mallu day for the poovalans and thus called poo-valenti(m)nes day.

Every day is special as it will be some day, not the regular week days but Kiss day, slap day, chocolate day and well still scratching my head... thinking... what day was yesterday? I have lost count of the days and new ones added every year hmm... well everyday maybe?

So what day is it today? Chocolate day? Kiss day? Makeup or break up day?
Well for me it was a bland Friday...


Its "the" day for guys and gals in "deep" love, for the love lorn and philosiphically oriented to make some confessions, Dear _______ I am in love with you for the past ___ years/months/days/weeks/days(Multiple choice). Do you love me???

A boom day for the flower stockists, coffee shops, ice cream parlours, Cell operators, cholotate shops and gold showroom too have joined the fray with Diamond/gold pendents and what not. Oh not to forget the mushy mushy songs on the tv channels.


Well Valentine' day thoughts..... Dont forget to add that bit of philosophy into ur card; mite be helpful and also try not to buy more than 2 cards of the same type u never know...thats for those who have numerous friends...

Ahem..

Yeah Iam an ambivert, I am glad not to be an introvert, iam sort of no nonsense person but yes I do come acroos as very non friendly person at fist meeting but my friend circle is a good testimonial to my friend gaining and mainting ability, so the other day I tried to make some some new friends and aquintances at my cousins marriage. She is my close/distant relative. Dont know much about her, just restricted to hi and bye's but this time when i was forced to join my other cousins I half heartedly said hmmm yes i will come... Not a bad decision afterall..

So I wasnt disappointed, my cousins turned up in good number, What a relief i wont have to tag behind my aunt or the only familiar face in the crowd.
the wedding was at Sivagiri Mutt, great place, wonderful place to sit think or even introspect. No I dint do any of those, but was greatly bowled over by the simplicity of the marriage functions and the related jing bangs.

A visit to the Janardhana Swamy temple, at Varkala and a stopover at the Papanasam beach was just too good treat to the eyes. Well I meant the beach and not the half clothed phirangs..
A very old and a devasom temple which I guess had a divinity touch to it. its ambience was great, an old couple sat at the Siva temple thinking of something and later walking out with their eyes moist, I wonder what they would have been thinking about...

Stone steps lead up to the temple nd is the temple looks great with its preseiding deity being Mahavishnu..

Ladies queued up to get prasadam, stood there for a little over 10 mins and out I came with the prasadam in my right hand palm. Yum

One day when I thought, well there are temples that are well preserved than the ones at Tamilnadu like Suchindreeum and other temples.

Weekend...

How bad can a day be?
The day started with a angry mail from a friend and to top it a reminder of an assignment and deadlines.

I try to look around for my BL library card, cant seem to find it. So drop the idea to visit BL in TVM. Fine.. try moving on with other things, just as i was trying to do something Iam called downstairs, some electrical repair work. All done and finished I run upstairs and lo behold we have a power cut. I run downstairs.... and come back the process goes on for 2 hrs,
Finally its sorted out. Some wrong decisions and assignment troubles all dot the day.

In the evening Iam running around helping for my cousin's wedding, all tired and angry at one of my friends (if u are reading this, remember u better sort out ur timetables and look properly at ur watch.)

I sit up late to finish some work....at the same time talking to an old school friend. Who seems excited about his trip to some places in TN. To be precise to Pondy with his friends.
A very funny chat with my friend and iam back to my basic energy levels.

Wish him a safe and happy journey!!!!
Have a nice time...

Retired hurt...

Home - Travel- return journey- mishap- hospital - home.
I ususally try to avoid being seated in the middle seat but that fortunate day , I was, in the process being saved from grave injuries. Thaank my angels.
I tried looking the other way just to avoid the sight of the injured mother and child bleeding from their heads.
As I stood speechless at the sight of the a huge metal box called bus which looked out of shape due to the impact of the collision it had.
As I stood waiting to be given medical attention all I could see was people moaning in pain, the sad faces,smell of antiseptics and people crying out in pain. I stood there twisting my fingers as the pain grew, it came and went and I kept standing, not knowing where to go, I took up my mobile called up home and informed my mom who by the time was anxious and was worried. People tried to help and as some pointed their fingers to all directions pointing to the X-ray dept, the Dental dept and the OP registration counter, after a frantic search I finally managed to get some help for my wound and the resultant bloodloss.

After 2 hours of gruelling pain and questioning I wait for my friend to turn up .
She comes running and is anxious about my wound and the my general condition. She is such a sweetie. I just knew she would come and it was a relief to see a familiar face. Everything done and the wound stitched up and dressed I walked to our vehicle and zip past the accident site in under a second, a passing glance at the bus, a sight I will never forget. Exactly 90 mins of travel and I am home.
So what did I learn from my experience? Well a number of things, You need to be really lucky to survive an accident, you need to carry some extra money which I had, Keep your cool and try not to start crying at the sight of blood of serious injury.
Back home friends started calling up and asking what had happened.... as always my closest friends made it a point to call. Thank you guys.... I know Iam lucky to have some great friends.
No matter how tough you are you end to shed some tears after a while. I had hit the point where I did breakdown for a few mins. but was early to stop doing that.

I asked myself Why me Why me but everything has reason. Made some new acquaintances, learned to deal with panicky people and injured victims......emotionally deficient policemen and above all the helping mentality of a passerby. He helped us reach the hosp in his car, dont know who he is... Wish I could thank him.
Phew...

And I havent hurt my head or most importantly my brain I am perfectly sane and normal (thats what I think). That was great news...

In bollywood movies a head or any injury above neck meant amnesia and the victims woulsd sit up and ask - aap kaun scenes. Iam Miss. ABCD and not MRS. XYZA. (I know that aint funny but..... )
