I, Me, Myself

Today has relatively been a free day, so I decided to take the opportunity to sit and update my blog. Now why is it a relatively free day, for one I decided to work from home today and that's because Chennai has been so hit by a cyclone that its been raining continuously for the past 2 days, and coz of which the entire area is flooded, its pretty bad that I couldn't even get out of the house to head to the office.

That's how the situation looks outside our house, more like a river. And hence stayed at home and decided to work, and considering the fact that its been raining continuously since morning, I don't see the water levels reducing one bit also tomorrow. It hasn't been a good day in India, esp in Mumbai, with the terror attacks. If I start writing about the attacks, well that would be a post by itself, and would lead into several confrontations with people I know, hence I shall avoid that topic. As I write this, its been 35hrs since the terror attacks have started and it still hasn't ended. My condolences with everyone, who has been affected by this cowardly act. People keep speaking about the spirit of Mumbai, the spirit of Delhi. Its so easy for everyone to just push it as simply as that. Lets just hope GOD gives the strength to each family who has suffered a loss in the process. In the past 35 hrs…I think I have spent atleast 28hrs watching the news. So that's what I have been upto.

Anywayz let me get to writing my blog now. Well this one is gonna be pretty straightforward, no mention of anything except me, obviously as the title says.
Well where do I start, I set foot on this world on the 1^st of February 1981…an Aquarian by birth, born in Coorg. Ok literally speaking I didn't set foot in this world on that day, that happened a few years later than the date mentioned. I was a thin child when I was born (people who knw me needn't laugh…that was a fact) Some doctor gave me an injection, which I keep telling my Mom had an adverse effect and I ended up looking how I am now. After a few initial years in India, we moved on to Bahrain where I did my entire schooling, must say that some of my best years so far have been spent in Bahrain. Living in a multi cultural atmosphere, amongst people from various nationalities has made me as someone with a wide outlook to life. Hahah..this sounds so much like I am selling myself at an interview. Anywayz what the hell. I am telling you people this post is gonna be a boring one, so you can cut here and do something worthwhile with your time rather than sitting and reading this. Anywayz my entire schooling and most part of my life has been in Bahrain. Here is where I have made some of my closest friends. I sure am not getting into naming someone, as I will end up missing someone and that wud turn to a bigger disaster. Growing up years in Bahrain were a lot fun. Playing gully cricket, badminton, eating burgers at Hardees and Dairy Queen etc., School and most part of it was most fun. I wud seriously so wanna sit and write loads abt Bahrain and life there, but I guess that will hv to cut short here. Maybe when some day, if I decide to write to book, I shall make all this out.

The above 2 paras were written by me like 2 days, unfortunately cudnt complete it, coz lots came up. Ya I suddenly ran off to Blore for a weekend trip. We were so jobless and fed up of being stuck in a place with floods all around, that we suddenly decided to drive down to Blore for the weekend. We had like loads of fun. Went to this awesome amusement park called Wonderla. Trip to Bangalore was a welcome change, met up with quite a few friends. Drove back last nite. We discovered an awesome dhaba (prolly the only one on the Chennai-Blore highway)…this place is cheap, open 24 hrs and is fab. We were so impressed with Reddy's Punjabi Dhaba, that we plan to drive down on some Saturday night just to have dinner there and yes this place is about 150kms from Chennai, so now one can imagine, how jobless we can be in life.

Anywayz getting back to my post. I am not gonna sit and explain my entire educational background and all here. So in short after my entire schooling in Bahrain, moved over to Chennai for my graduation at Loyola, after which I worked in Andersen for a while. One helluva an experience. Decided enough of Chennai. Was supposed to head to Australia for my MBA…decided against it in the last moment. Now whether it was a mistake or not, I would never know. But then one makes a decision based on circumstances at that moment, makes no sense to go back and revisit and think about it. Anywayz did my MBA at Bangalore and ever since then working in Chennai. High time that I move out, and I hope to and I will. Need to get back to consulting desperately. Anywayz that's it on my boring life.

What do I write now. Lets see what I can write about myself. Born to Mallu parents, but never lived in Mallu land, which is probably why I don't have traits that a normal Mallu wud have. I have been told I don't look or sound like one. I have also been told that I look like an alien, now who to believe and who not to, is something that I keep pondering about. My parents have been the most wonderful and important people in my life and my strength. Oh btw I do not have any siblings. So first q people ask is like – so you have been pampered a lot? Well I really don't think so. What I am today, is prolly how I have been brought up. My folks have been liberal to a huge extent. This post really does not have much for anyone to comment on. Its jus that I wanted to write a few things, so the need for the post.

Am a true Aquarian by nature. Optimistic, honest, loyal, very inquisitive, rebellious to a lot of things. Totally open to argument, coz I love listening to others views. As I am writing this, I have just received a mail from someone that talks about zodiac traits…oh f…so true. Here I am quoting a line "They are extremely logical and objective and, in real terms, the concept of winning or losing means little to them, but they do find great pleasure in active debate." Totally not interested in mundane daily activities, and hence really don't care about what someone thinks of me (there are obviously exceptions to the word someone here) People take this as arrogance, but its not. I as a person am very sociable, and its so known that Aquarians have more friends in the opposite sex than their own (which is why my folks at times ask me, if I have any male friends) J I think instead of me writing about my traits, one should jus read this. Coz I kinda prolly agree to most of what is written there about the sign…and abt what I really am. Click here to read abt Aquarius and other signs too.

There are just very few people that I care for in this world. Let me not sit and name anyone. Actually let me just end this post here, go home and sleep. Way way too tired after this Blore trip and lack of sleep. Emotionally also totally drained out…been having some sort of silent confrontation with someone real special to me…I cant even call it a fight or an argument…I dunno what it is…but I know its not nice…and I jus hope whatever it is, gets fine soon..coz its not easy. Desperately need it to be fine actually…!! And I am sure it will be… Many of you who had the patience to reach till here, would wonder why the post. Well like I said earlier, I just wanted to write some stuff. And so..

I would start on my next post soon…and that I presume would be on relationships…now I dunno whether that would open a pandora's box or not…patha nahi…lekin zaroor likhoonga…soon to soon. Till then keep visiting and keep reading THE RANDOM THOUGHTS FROM MY SOUL J
