..i..me..myself

I am the youngest in a typical nuclear family, papa, amma, brother and me. Being the youngest, I was most pampered and was prone to throw tantrums till I got bored with the whole thing altogether.

Growing up with a brother is something my best friends have always wanted (most of them have elder sisters). To me, well it was survival. I used to be the girl who tells on her brother. I can still remember the immense satisfaction i used to get,when i catch my bro doing something he shouldn't be doing, telling amma,and seeing the result! (but then, i always had to pay for those, brothers always have much more strength! Always!!). So i dropped that practice too. but then, I had a truckload of brothers, one of my own and others being cousins. I remember my summer holidays at my ammoomma's (grandma's) household. I'll be the only girl, and I'd have 9 brothers to play with. so in my childhood i grew up playing cricket (which are again of 3 types), football, badminton and other games belonging to that category. And there used to be a special game, with me against them. maybe it can be named now as teasing the sister.Back then, I used to cry at everything, low marks (even now), cut, scrapes, when someone says something I don't like, everything!  But now, I'd like to believe that I've changed, a bit. my brothers paid a huge role in this development.They'd sit around me and start teasing me about one thing or the other, one would start and the baton gets passed and anyone with nothing else to do can join in. Initially, I cried at everything, but later on I learned to laugh with them and cry less.I'd be always thankful for those summers, because I have no idea as to how else I'd be anywhere today.

I've always been papa's favorite, to such an extend that if anybody need anything to be done by him,
they'd ask me to tell him, even today. I have special sensors which can tune his mood accurately. He's single-handedly responsible for spoiling me thoroughly.

Amma is a teacher. So, she is as expected, strict, responsible and a no nonsense person. But beneath all that she's a kindred spirit.

I grew up with this lot, and you can blame(or in some rare cases, praise; or remain unbiased) them for what i am today. but frankly, I don't think I can get any better lot to be with. Usually, I don't get to stay with other people, but when I did, I hated it outright, and couldn't wait to get back home!

Home is a lovely place to be, provided you don't stay for more than two weeks a stretch, it gets on to the nerves ;)
Then again, there won't be any other place in the world you'll be happy to be alone, because, at the end of the day, you'll know that everyone will be  back, no matter how late.

..year end (2012)

finally last month of the year 2012 is here. December. if the world does end as the Mayans predicted it, that would leave just a month more to live up rest of my life. that's a sad thought on surface, but i then, i can't think up a better way to die ;)

looking back, this has been one of those milestone years..
  • year started with a more enlightened me
  • got through two university exams without any scrapes
  • got myself into the 'moral- support' aka cheer leading team for college sports
  • which leads to the next one,the department won throwball trophy after 4 long years
  • had fun during arts, and this would be final one in college
  • saw my classmates, and my best friend included, go broke in effort of organising our team for arts
  • had a horrible time hunting for sponsors, for the same..
  • changed my phone number, again!
  • and started a blog (last time in interview, when they say, so your interests include writing huh, like blog? i had replied, um its more like diary full of stuff. now, i'll be like, yea, i blog ;) they don't count follower's do they? do i write, yes i do. does anybody else read it? mm.. i don't think so.. )
  • and to finish it off, landed in a job. Hah!!!
 not a bad year.
and there is one more month to it. a lot of things can happen in 31 days. i can win a lottery, get selected for movie(i am not photogenic and can't act, but still, i may land myself in an award winning role), get a prize for something(though i haven't done anything worth a prize, yet), write a book(? in 31 days? start a book would be more appropriate) or get fat (at this level, i think this is the most likely thing to happen..!!!)
well, one can only wait for tomorrow, to find out what it holds for one.but a small hope that it will be better than today wont hurt anyone ;).

..starting up

here i am, another aspiring blogger ready to take my scrawling to a more permanent level-blogging. heard of it, read of it, and now finally going to try it. well, basically i don't have anything which requires my attention  this sem break, no sprouting romances, no angry boyfriends who need pacifying, no friendship on the verge of breaking, one get the general idea right..


ofcourse, there is always studying for the entrance of next higher studies, but then, its hard to get  into that spirit this early in vacation.that left me try out this new idea. hardly new, my friends been trying this for ages, all the same,'trying out the old new' idea .



i think that pretty much explain why i am here now.had the starworld been showing new series, or the disney been airing their old series, i wouldn't be here in the first place.


this is it for the first piece.
