My Life Doesn't Suck Anymore!

once in a year.

2011-08-11T10:58:00.002+05:30

And it was my birthday yesterday. Now I'm 27 years old. OMG! I'm 27. I'm running out of time. I've lot of ambitions and wishes and all that to fulfil before I die. And the sad part is, I'm doing nothing about it.

So, anyway, I hope you guys will pray for me. Also please help me in finding topics to write. :P I dont understand how you people keep updating your blogs almost every alternate day. I feel jealous. I havent read most of the blogs which I follow. Though I used to see the updated blogs on my blogroll. Red Handed, she keeps coming with new and interesting topics. MSM, she is busy solving mysteries. Maithili, no news about her. Chandana, she is busy showing off her wardrobe. All of them, all of them has something or the other to write and I'm jealous.

I've been reading a few books lately. Randamoozham by M.T Vasudevan Nair (which is a Malayalam novel), The White Tiger, A Prisoner Of Birth, Catch 22, Rage of Angels, Count of Monte Cristo, etc etc. Completed a few of them.

Sorry for not reading and commenting your blogs. I dont know. I just dont feel like blogging these days. Lot of things happening around me and I'm just ignorant. Bliss!

copy-pasted.

idea is good. but nose is mine.

2011-07-05T12:12:00.008+05:30

I still remember the incident for it was the first time I played cricket with a stitch ball. I was fielding very close to the batsman and I was obviously nervous. And then, out of the blue, the ball hit my face. I turned around and fell down. I could not see anything for a few seconds.

I stood up and touched my cheeks. I could not even feel my cheeks. I felt something wet on my fingers. Blood! From my nose. I was breathing blood.

I ran to my room and stared into the mirror. No, nothing has happened except blood was flowing as if I opened a water tap. My friends took me to a doctor and luckily there was no bone injury. I was happy that I was breathing air with the same nose.

Its only next day that I noticed. My nose has bent a little. To the right or left, I don't remember. But I was certain that my nose was not in proper condition as it was two days before. I could feel a small 'hump' on my nose. I convinced myself of having a 'crooked nose'.

I had to get rid of it. Desperately. And then it striked me.

I took a small hammer. And I felt stupid of the idea of hitting my nose with a hammer to set it straight. It was not that stupid as long as no one is watching me. I patted my nose a couple of times staring into the mirror but it didn't help. I needed support - support for my nose, I mean.

I supported my nose on the edge of a table and I patted again. No. Not working. Okay. Last try. I hit my nose hard. Just once. And I went blind.

Wow! I felt I'm the stupidest person alive on the planet.

'I don't have anymore pics. Honestly.'

What can the above sentence mean?

bored to death and need help.

2011-06-16T16:55:00.004+05:30

Guys, I need help.

Could you please suggest me some good novels to read? I got no work to do in office and I don't know what to do. Thought I will read some books.

I've been researching but I was not successful in coming up with some good novels. Would you mind to suggest some? I like psychological thrillers, murder mysteries, revenge, serial killers, suspense thrillers and maybe humor also.

I don't like romance, sci-fi, fantasies, horror, biographies. Please help me, will you?

Thanks.

PS: Sorry for the stupid post. I don't know. I was like, thinking and didn't know what to do. And I thought I'll ask my fellow bloggers. :)

Kiran: Uncle, you wanted proof huh?
Dad: What is that you need, Kiran?
Kiran: Listen to this first…

He took his mobile and played a sound clip…

Kiran: Hey, how are you?
Asha: I’m fine.

Dad was stunned to hear Asha’s voice. He didn’t utter a word and kept listening.

K: How’s Anoop doing? Is he calling you these days?
A: He had called me before you called. He is doing good.
K: Okay. Tell me, how much do you love him?
A: I don’t know. I love him so much that I can’t think of missing him.
K: But he scolds you a lot.
A: Yes, that happens. Even I scold him a lot, if he talks to Anjali. Hehe…
K: So, are you planning for register marriage?
A: I don’t know if he will agree for that. I’m ready for anything though. I need to tell him about that...
K: Hmmm…
A: Hey, what’s that sound?
K: Oh…wait. That happens when-

Kiran: Now, what do you say Uncle?

PS: Kiran wanted evidence to prove the affair between Asha and Anoop. He called Asha and started a conversation. He himself brought the topic of 'Register Marriage' and he cut the call. He called back a minute later so that he can record the conversation and started as if its a new call and not as a continuation of the previous call. Asha wasn't smart enough to interpret the beep sound was of recording.

PPS: The End.

Dad meets Anoop.

Dad: So, do you have any idea about what we were told about you and my daughter?
Anoop: I have no idea.
D: YOU HAVE NO IDEA?
A: No, I have no idea.
D: Is there anything between you and Asha?
A: No
D: Are you sure?
A: Yes.
Renjith: Anoop, tell him if there is anything between you and Asha. He just wants to hear it from you.
A: What are you talking about? There is nothing between me and her.
R: He has got proof.
A: What?
D: Don’t make-
A: I don’t love her.
R: He has proof. Anoop, look, he will agree this. He just wants to hear it from you. Just say the truth. He talked to Asha and she has confessed. That’s the reason he is asking you.
A: I need to talk to Asha. I want to hear it from her.
D: <SLAAPP> GET OUT OF HERE. I WILL KILL YOU IF I EVER HAPPEN TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

November 2nd 2007

Dad meets Kiran.

Kiran: Uncle?
Dad: I talked to Anoop and also to Asha. What’s your interest in making any relation between Anoop and Asha?
K: My interest?
D: Yes, I heard its you who is spreading the rumor that Anoop and Asha is having an affair.
K: Spreading the news? It’s not me.
Dad: I talked to Renjith, Dileep, Karthick, Rahul, Sachin, Bijoy and everyone I could get a hold of and they all said it’s you. You son of a bitch! <SLAP>

November 4th 2007

Kiran: How are you Asha? How’s everything going? Are you people still fighting?

Asha: Haha…hey that happens with lovers you see. Find a girlfriend for yourself. You will know.

K: Hmmm…I can understand you people are still fighting a lot. Don’t you have any plans to get married? Or do you want to get married to him?

A: Of course. I love him. I want him to marry me. He wants too.

K: You think your parents will agree?
A: My dad will agree I’m sure. No idea about mom. Let’s see.
K: Why don’t you guys think of a register marriage?
A: Hmmm…that’s the last resort.
K: Hey, I will call you in a minute.

A minute later…

K: Hey, how are you?
A: I’m fine.
K: How’s Anoop doing? Is he calling you these days?
A: He had called me before you called. He is doing good.
K: Okay. Tell me, how much do you love him?
A: I don’t know. I love him so much that I can’t think of missing him.
K: But he scolds you a lot.
A: Yes, that happens. Even I scold him a lot, if he talks to Anjali. Hehe…

A: I don’t know if he will agree for that. I’m ready for anything though. I need to tell him about that...
K: Hmmm…
A: Hey, what’s that sound?
K: Oh…wait. That happens when I’m talking and charging at the same time. Don’t bother. I took it off.
A: Oh…okay. No problem. I just asked.

2011-06-10T11:50:00.005+05:30

Let me confess the fact that what you are about to read could (or could not) be a fiction (or a non-fiction). You are not going to believe me anyway.

***

Those days…

Kiran: Hey, what happened? I saw 14 missed calls from you. Is there any problem?
Asha: Yes, Anoop scolded me and he does that all the time. He is getting on my nerve these days. I don’t know what to do.
K: Hey, he loves you a lot. Don’t get worried about him.
A: I know he loves me and all that but he gets too possessive about me and I hate that.
K: Hmm… I understand. Guys usually get possessive. You know how guys are.
A: I love him. I didn’t say I don’t. It’s just that…I don’t know. You know he told me not to talk to you also. He doesn’t like my having best friends and saying everything to you.
K: Oh…I didn’t know he asked you not to talk to me also. He is fine when he talks to me.

***

Anoop: Hey Ash, what have you been doing all this while? I didn’t even see a single message of yours. Got busy with your friends huh?
Asha: Oh please Anoop…don’t start all over.
Anoop: So, talked to Kiran? How’s he doing?
Asha: How’s your best friend Anjali doing? No news about her lately.
Anoop: See, you don’t have to bring Anjali into this. She is my friend and mine alone. Kiran is not someone like Anjali. He is a mutual friend.
Asha: So what? Who cares? He is my BEST FRIEND. I WILL TALK TO HIM.
Anoop: Why are you shouting? Who asked you not to talk? You can. You always can. But you don’t have to tell him everything. That won’t do us any good.
Asha: I don’t think so. I can’t help it. To me, he is just like Anjali is to you.
Anoop: You can’t trust someone blindly. I know him better than you do.
Asha: Whatever.

even i can write stories.

2011-06-03T21:37:00.003+05:30

OK. Let me confess the fact that this post is a fiction.

I was getting so bored one day when I was sitting in the office – no work to do, yet a critical resource. I thought I’ll make some friends. I’ve an option to use some ‘Happy Hours’ in my office where I get to access commercial websites.

And then, I found this girl to chat with. I first sent a very casual email though I never expected a reply. Girls don’t reply to emails from strangers, you see. And then, just like I said, there was no reply. You know how guys behave when they find a girl. I sent another email, this time apologizing. Nope, she didn’t fall for that too. I underestimated this girl. I sent another email saying – even your best friends were strangers to you some day, just like I’m now.

I got a reply. And I replied and she replied and I replied and it went on and on. The first day we exchanged 28 emails. I didn’t have any bad intentions though. I knew she didn’t trust me enough as you can’t trust anyone online. Emails became continuous and then I invited her to chat. She accepted and then we chatted for hours and hours everyday. One day, I asked her mobile number and never expected she would respond the way she did. After all, it’s just a number. But it’s her mobile number. I wanted to talk to her. Desperately. I found a work-around. I gave her my number.

She got busy and we didn’t chat for a few days. One day I got a text message from an unknown number saying it was her number and she would come online after sometime. I suddenly replied saying ‘Now you trust me enough to share your mobile number, huh?’

Okay. Now, that was the start. We stopped chatting and started messaging. And then we talked. I wanted more. I wanted her to sing and she did. See, human beings are desperate. They are not happy with what they already have. Now that I got her number, I wanted to see her. And then I saw her, she saw me and blah blah blah...

I’m a dumbass when it comes to ‘flirting’. I didn’t mean to say she was an expert but we got close enough to compliment each other saying about our good qualities (if that can be called flirting). We were getting closer day by day. We wanted to chat always. I wanted her to keep in touch with me thru messages. Chatting, telephoning, emailing, flirting, possessiveness, love, like, this that… Just like you can imagine how couples would be.

But no, we haven’t proposed each other yet but we were sure that we loved each other. At least we don’t mind loving each other if not we haven’t loved each other as yet. I happened to be one of the good guys she happened to meet and after 89 thoughtful days she decided to say it first.

‘Hey, I want to tell you something so very important.’ She said.
‘What?’ I enquired.
‘Marry Me.’
‘WHAT?’ I was shocked.
‘I mean, listen to that song. It’s nice!’

PS: So, I had nothing to do for the whole day at office and the idea of making a new friend, messaging, talking, flirting tempted me to write this post. :D

way2sms or fullonsms?

2011-05-10T16:06:00.004+05:30

Way2SMS is thousand times better than Fullonsms though it provides an additional 20 characters than way2sms.

FULLONSMS SUCKS! SUCKS TO THE CORE!

PS: I don't know your experience with these 2 websites. Please share if you don't mind. Thanks.

most spontaneous blogger award.

2011-05-08T18:58:00.004+05:30

First of all, I would like to apologize to MSM for being so late to take up the award. Her last resort was to let me know that she would give the award to some blogger I hated the most :D

Second of all, I would like to thank, again, MSM for giving the award. She also wants me to answer three questions while I claim the award.

1. Which is your favorite weather and why?

The moment she gave this award, I informed her that this question is tough. You really got to change the question MSM. Please... :D

2. What are you three favorite tourist destinations you would want to go to, before you die?

London, Mexico and Monaco. Don't ask me the reasons why I want to visit those places. I have heard about these places and I have seen a lot of pics of my friends. I feel these places are worth visiting.

3. Name your three most read blogs.

a.k.a ninu, no comments, and its all about perception.

So, MSM, linking you back. :P And No. I don't want to give this award to anyone. I'm selfish. I want to keep it with myself. :D

PS: MSM is an artist too. She made this pic herself.

Many Many Happy Returns.

2011-04-30T12:56:00.006+05:30

When I met this girl, I never thought I will be writing a blog-post about her on her birthday. I'm happy for a friend like her. I want to write a lot about her. I don't want to reveal her identity though. All I will say is, she is unique and one hell of a friend.

Many Many Happy Returns On Your Birthday. May you have all happiness in this world and may all your dreams come true.

Hey, you arent supposed to spend too much time online. Go study for your exams.

time less (on) tuesday.

2011-04-12T21:54:00.003+05:30

Oops. No time to write.

PS: I used to wonder 'what the hell is that all about?' when I see posts like 'Wordless Wednesday', 'Thursday Challenge' and all that. I thought I would start something new. Time less (on) Tuesday!

PPS: This post is meant to be funny. OMG! No time. Bye.

a.k.a ninu.

2011-04-11T12:28:00.014+05:30

Finally, I'm done with my 10 days research. I think many people who were reading my blog for the past 10 days might be wondering what I'm talking about. In one of my previous post, I had said 'guys' follow / comment a blog if the author is a girl, no matter how good the content is.

As on March 31 2011, I had 37 followers and the average number of comments on my blog was 7 or 8 max. Now, since I changed my name to 'Ninu', I've got 49 followers and average number of comments is 15 minimum. And not just that. This stupid research helped me with something else too.

I'm sorry for those who actually commented and followed my blog thinking I'm Ninu. I didn't mean to offend or cheat you people.

I'm more than happy that I got a few new friends. One of them is very nice, one of them is very beautiful, one of them is very sarcastic, one of them just look for grammar mistakes in what we type, one of them is very professional, one of them is very childish, one of them writes poems about love though she is not in love, one of them is very young though she writes matured, and so on.

I would like to thank Red for her valuable suggestions. I think she got irritated the first time she knew the idea but I'm glad she gave me the bravest of all suggestions. I thank Gowthami for deleting my comments which I wrote on her blog, thanks to Ash for she understood what I'm up to. Many thanks to MSM for she gave me an award though she took it back later. I hope you will give me some award some day. Thanks to Alcina and Pria for they supported me. Thanks to Always Happy for she too supported me and eagerly waited for the results.

I just can't imagine if I earned 12 new followers in 10 days, what will be the case of those (girls) who have been blogging since years? ;)

PS: Many of you might be wondering if I'm following a blog just because the author is a girl. Yes, to be very honest. I guess I follow a couple of blogs (or more, I have no idea). I don't mind saying it here. I love to say the truth.

So, here it is. My First Car!

I'm so happy.

Anna Hazare - We all are with you.

2011-04-08T20:42:00.005+05:30

The dream of India as a strong nation will not be realised without self-reliant, self-sufficient villages, this can be achieved only through social commitment & involvement of the common man.
- Anna Hazare

So, I've been reading a lot about him. But what it is all about? What is Lokpal Bill? No one has actually explained what it is all about. They just know its something to do with corruption. I received an email few hours back. I thought I would post it here. By now, I guess, everyone would have come to know all about it.

1. Who is Anna Hazare?

An ex-army man. Fought 1965 Indo-Pak War

2. What's so special about him?

He built a village Ralegaon Siddhi in Ahamad Nagar district, Maharashtra. This village is a self-sustained model village. Energy is produced in the village itself from solar power, biofuel and wind mills. In 1975, it used to be a poverty clad village. Now it is one of the richest village in India. It has become a model for self-sustained, eco-friendly & harmonic village. Anna Hazare was awarded Padma Bhushan and is a known figure for his social activities.

3. What is he fighting for?

He is supporting a cause, the amendment of a law to curb corruption in India. He is advocating for a Bil, The Lok Pal Bill (The Citizen Ombudsman Bill), that will form an autonomous authority who will make politicians (ministers), beurocrats (IAS/IPS) accountable for their deeds.

4. So, is this a new thing?

In 1972, the bill was proposed by then Law minister Mr. Shanti Bhushan. Since then it has been neglected by the politicians and some are trying to change the bill to suit thier theft (corruption).

5. OK. What is that he looking for?

The first thing he is asking for is: the government should come forward and announce that the bill is going to be passed. Next, they make a joint committee to DRAFT the LOK PAL BILL. 50% goverment participation and 50% public participation. Because you cant trust the government entirely for making such a bill which does not suit them.

6. What will happen when this bill is passed?

A LokPal will be appointed at the centre. He will have an autonomous charge, say like the Election Commission of India. In each and every state, Lokayukta will be appointed. The job is to bring all alleged party to trial in case of corruptions within 1 year. Within 2 years, the guilty will be punished. Not like, Bofors scam or Bhopal Gas Tragedy case, that has been going for last 25 years without any result.

7. Is he alone? Whoelse is there in the fight with Anna Hazare?

Baba Ramdev, Ex. IPS Kiran Bedi, Social Activist Swami Agnivesh, RTI activist Arvind Kejriwal and many more. Prominent personalities like Aamir Khan is supporting his cause.

8. What can YOU do?

Spread the message. Update status message, links, video, changing profile pics. Pray for his good health.

Anna Hazare’s Fast Unto Death – Please Spread The Word

Read the post - here.

This was written by a blogger friend of mine - Swats. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

PS: Please do comment on the original post (and not here). Thanks a lot.

its all about perception.

2011-04-03T22:41:00.004+05:30

In the above image, is the statue actually on her head? Of course not. Though it may look so. Its actually an illusion. The angle at which the photographer took the picture creates an illusion so that an onlooker feels the statue is on her head.

It all depends on the way you look at it, the way you perceive it. We may do something which may seem very right to us. It shouldn't possibly be right to someone else.

So, why am I saying all this now?

I don't understand why its always 'HE' who ditched 'HER'? Can't it be 'SHE' who ditched 'HIM'? They just don't care who is right and who is wrong.

All they do care is, IN THE PICTURE, the statue is on HER head.

I'm doing a research.

Hope frequent-visitors-of-my-blog would understand it in no time. Please, if you do get it, please don't mention it in when you comment. I don't want others to know. This 'research' is to support my theory. I've got not-a-lot of criticisms for one of my posts. I thought I would do a research on the topic.

I promise, I've no intentions to make you 'April Fool', though it may feel so.

PS: for frequent-commenters: Red, Neeha, Nehha, Alcina, Rajlakshmi, and Ash - I 'think' you people have got better chances to understand what I'm saying. So, please don't say it here. Okay? If you are desperate to say it, email me at the ID shown in the sidebar :)

what is that you want to prove?

2011-03-30T23:14:00.003+05:30

Whatever I did is wrong. And everything you did is unquestionably right. I agree. You were Mother Teresa and I was Adolf Hitler. You suffered all the pain - as you say it.

What pain? I'm sure you dont even know the meaning of the word 'Pain'. Everything happened the way you wanted it. And now, the blame on me. Wow!

I've no pain, no emotions, no feelings. I'm a machine.

Happy?

next to God.

2011-03-29T00:41:00.007+05:30

God just love to see some people suffering. No matter how good they are.

I saw a programme in one of the malayalam channel about a mother who lost 5 of her 9 kids and 6th one is waiting for his turn. They all had kidney trouble. I felt so bad about them. I know sympathy is not what they want. I really want to help. I cant lend them a kidney. But I can surely spare some money for them.

Please, before you spend some money on luxury, before you spend money on something which you can live without, even if its a 100 bucks, help people who really need it.

At least you can tell yourself that you did something. Something not even God did.

PS: Many many happy returns. Happy Birthday.

no comments.

2011-03-25T23:41:00.006+05:30

Now that I know why do people write blogs, my next concern is why do people comment/follow blogs.

I have no idea how a girl behaves when she sees a new blog. But I do know something.

Girls like to be 'commented', though they don't comment.
They comment because you commented. Tit-for-Tat.
They dont comment. They update their blog, saying they were busy doing something more important and would comment soon (before world ends).
They comment because there are nice girls too.
They comment. Exploiting Tit-for-Tat.
They do comment/follow, if its worth doing.
Are you a frequent commenter on my blog?

Now, guys are so generous, you see. They comment and follow most of the blogs. Just for 2 simple reasons.

The blog is just amazing.
The blog author is a girl.

PS: This is meant to be a partially-funny-partially-true post. No offense, please.
