RAINBOW

hey this piece of writing is totally dedicated to my college buddies who has borne with me silently for the past three years..we named ourselves " THE RAINBOW" ...we decided this name as we are seven in number..

Initially we were in different groups..and after almost a month of the reopening of college,we got to know each other and thus started the journey of fun and friendship. we are seven different people with seven different lifestyles,attitudes,thinking,taste etc..but yes we did jell on pretty well..

To give a brief introduction of all the people...

Niru (Me) - non stop nonsense,spends most of the time in loo(according to my friends..plsss dont believe)loves music,reacts late to things,needs things to be repeated a zillion times before understanding the hang of it ...

Janani - a patient girl with lots of love for her family, ultimate mokkai at times, pretends as though she never got a mokkai just after receiving one and continues with her story ,a very appointed gal ( courtesy - miss.janani)..lolz...

Preethi - a girl with a lot of capabilities to handle big responsibilities,loves to give lots of mokkai's to people whenever possible,introvert in many ways, extrovert in a lot other ways,rarely gets the enthusiasm like that of a child and acts crazy...lolzz..(remember: the jalsa song )...

Lavanya - a yap yappy girl, just like me ...can start talking easily but finds it extremely difficult to stop,loves vetti and mokkai talk, talks in english when she gets angry...lolz..always the first one to make up after a fight....

Saranya - extremely committed and loyal to few things in life,gives a lot and expects the same amount of stuff from others,moody,loves to kalaichuphy people at the right moment not missing a beat...

Kp - sweet loving,carefree girl,loves to be in the lime light,amazing dancer,emotional,up coming star...lolzzzzzz.....acts like a kid most of the times,one of those lucky people who gets marks without hardly touching the book (of course with a little help from kanmani....lolz..), and runs at the word of "project"..lolz..

Swarna - calm and composed girl, rarely shows her emotions..a silent killer i mean she is a girl of few words but kills people by talking at the right moment at the right time and says something which can never be forgot by the other person on whom she comments..lolzz..,she keeps the phone when someone talks in english.

so now i guess the introduction would have shown a clear picture of how the people in the "RAINBOW" are like.

Three years have flown too too fast..It still feels like the first day when i felt all alone after DJ left..but things worked out better than i expected and i had the most amazing few years with you guys..

i can never forget the vetti talk sessions during the market research periods,the innumerable plans we make in order to make one single outing successful,the serious bingo games played during the SDM presentations,the large number of so called model poses given at various occasions,unsuccessful group study sessions,the famous flicking of items in the name of SAMI PEN,PAPER,etc...lolzz..,the adithadi sandai for booking people to drive each others bikes,the late talk sessions at the parking lot,the begging and pleading to make people coordinate for a outing,all of us talking at the same time in a conference call ultimately creating a ciaos and noise pollution,the little pangs of "J Factor" that we get when someone tends to get a bit close with others,the imaginary figures we assume to be stored in the "FUND" which in most cases does not hold more than 200 bucks ... i can keep on mentioning....

we have had our share of fights,arguments,tears,agony,misunderstandings,dissatisfaction,etc..but all those things looks so silly and small now...the small little incidents that has happened between us taught me so many things which i can never forget for a lifetime..

Thus to sum up and end my longggggggggg essay..... i would like to say that you guys rock and each one of you is special in your own way to me...plsssssss keep in touch...thanks for being with me and sharing the most cherished moments of my life..love you loads... :-)

My First Step All Alone!!

I guess its been really long since i blogged...where is the time between hectic schedules like eating, sleeping etc .....tooooooooo tiring....lolz...jokes apart...i have been wanting to blog for a long time, but hardly had a minute or mood to think about it..

So now the mood is all set, and the thoughts flow is at the right level to pour out...so here it comes.......

I was pretty happy when i got the first call letter to attend an interview at ICFAI in Hyderabad for a MBA seat..

So off i went all alone for the first time with a lot of apprehensiveness,insecurity,tension, happiness...etc etc...you can add a whole lot of emotional crap to this list..
I was at first too scared at the thought of managing myself the whole day..now i understand how freaked out my mom would have been while bring me up.....lolzzz...all

I was concerned about not trying to act stupid and end up looking like a fool at any circumstances..(which i am very capable of)...lolzz...

One look at the girls and guys who were my co-candidates freaked me to noo ends .most of them had turned up with either one of their parents..and i was all alone and felt too small and little amongst them..almost like a school kid waiting behind the big bullies for a chance to get the audition..

Of course they were a few good souls who were sweet enough and made friends with me and stayed with me throughout the day in spite of my mokka and vetti talk...lolz..
we formed a group of 5 people..amongst them i was the only girl and the only non hindi speaking human...that day i realized three things

1)to learn hindi (if i have to survive in Hyderabad /Bangalore)

2)how irritating it is when people walk straight to you and start talking in the language you hardly understand as if the world is filled only with people knowing that one language...

3)how ridiculous it is to hear people talk english as hindi,tamil,gujarati,or marati...

It was one big agonizing day ...the process took the whole of the day from morning 6.30 to night 9.00...the first part was good as i was with my acquaintance...second part was bad as i had to go through all crappy procedures like giving a presentation, waiting for like three hours before the interview..only to be ended up with finance based questions posed by the interviewer...(exact contrast to my marketing background)...and the third part was a mixture of stuff like..happiness,a bit of disappointment,tooo much of exhaustion etc...wherein i had to wait for my results for like a eternity...

I got through IBS bangalore...which is a pretty decent campus, but i actually wanted to get into either Bombay or gurgoen...but i had no regrets ..whatsoever..at the end of the day..all i wanted was good food and a soft bed..but i got more than that..i had the opportunity to meet nice people,had a chance to improve my socializing skills, and yeah the best part...got a shot of vodka from my uncle as a reward for going through the tough day all alone..(it was actually to knock me down,as i would not just stop talking about what happened the whole day)....lolzzzzzzzzzz....;-)

Bombay Trip!

I was extremely excited when my parents decided to take a week off and attend my uncle's 60 th birthday celebrations and i was on cloud 9 when i heard my brother was coming back home for a short visit and would be able to spend a week with us in bombay. i had the most amazing one week which turned out to be a welcome relief for me from a hectic and tight schedule.

so off i went with a big dreamy smile thinking all about the fun we would have and without the slightest guilt of leftover submissions and a big list of things to do.

when we reached bombay, to my surprise my cousins vijay and kartic had also turned up for the function, i instantly knew the party was gonna rock and that we would surely have a awesome time..
though we did not have much time , we visited the gate way of India and the marine drive.. which was totally cool...and yeah we had gone to shiradi sai baba temple which was some 3 hrs drive from thane....

The party took place at a open resort uphill ,which literally felt like a forest.the night was dam cold and breezy.

At the party,i was for the first time treated as a grown up lady and was offered vodka which i took without much fuss :-)

It was really after a long time that all of us( cousins) were together so it felt so good and nice.we all turned crazy and partied hard till midnight, then stayed up late chit chatting,seeing photos and videos.

During that one week we made it a point to eat as many vada pavs,pani puri, and bhel puri's as possible and as if we would never see food for a entire lifetime.

Remembering the fun we had makes me wonder if we would be able to gather in such a large no and have so much fun ever again.

Totally to sum up, it was a great amazing week , something which i can never forget..dunno how much it meant to my other cousins, but it meant a lot to me..

Saying bye to everybody and especially to my brother was pretty difficult.

While i was just dreaming how great it would be if all of us can stay in the same place and same way forever without no commitments,no deadlines , no project submissions, my cell phone rang bringing me back to reality and plunging meanly into my fantasy world!!

Birthday Bash!


Where do i start..and where do i end about this lovely cool totally awesomeeee and rocking day...4th of july..was the day on which ..no no ..not US independence.. why would i be writing about that..yeah rite it was the day on which a princess named "Ramya" was born....ok ok...let me cut the crap now...and get into a serious writing mode....

On 3rd night my lovely sister took me to a totally awesome roof top restaurant which i basically love.. you can like see half of Chennai from there..came back home after cutting the cake at the stroke of 12...

On 4th morning...the first thing that i saw was a huge mouth watering (chocolate truffle) cake(which i eat without even brushing ..lolz) and two of my best friends grinning from ear to ear...then i fell into the normal birthday routine of going to temple(like a good gal)...then in college....my dear sweet buddies had got me a hugee cake(this time chocolate..lol)..which we ate without much difficulty(i mean the entire 1 kg cake) :-) ..

Then after college......when reaching home...what i saw shocked me, put me into a state of EUPHORIA ...no kidding....all my dear friends ...who i have known till now...were there waiting for me with a smile on their faces.... what more could i ask for???.... i mean i was soooo delighted...so happy... and yeah another cake ( black forest) was waiting for me to be cut ;-)... it was followed by a lovely dinner... and of course there was loads of kisses and hugs...:-) ..

At the end of the day..i was totally exhausted not due to the pressure of entertaining or whatsoever..it was just due to the high level of excitement and happiness...i was literally dazed and was on cloud 9 all through the evening... all my thanks goes to my sweet sister who had secretly arranged the entire surprise party...and yeah of course to my friends who cared enough to show up!!... the story would not be complete if i do not mention...how grateful i am to have such lovely people around me... luv them loads!!!

Beautiful Morning!


The sun rising slowly bestowing its beauty and blessing on the earth and wind showering us with a gentle breeze...birds chirping being the first sweet sound of the day....and trees rustling warmly welcoming the new day...how amazing is all this?? how many of us truly enjoy this ,which is the most precious moment of the day... at least i don't...for which i regret a lot..

Its a curse i have been born with to go late to bed and wake up when its almost midday... insomnia at nights is one reason , the other is due to the place i live in, where sun light is a rare phenomena..so i cant blame myself totally..lol....but during those rare occasions when i get up early.. i would be totally awestruck.... promising myself to enjoy the same thing next morning...but it happens again only after few years ;-)....

One thing i have noticed is that ...getting up early and spending some time with the nature is a awesome way to collect your thoughts, calm yourself, to think about all the complex philosophies of life which otherwise you would have never bothered to spare time too, to reset your energy level and refocus again on the goals you have set long ago and which you have forgotten about.......Its the best time to make decisions and think about the people you love the most....

Sometimes even nights cant be as romantic as early mornings..now now i understand what you guys are thinking...i know am not talking out of experience or whatever...its all something i wish i would enjoy everyday..

I often say to myself that " i am missing too many beautiful moments in life"..But am sure the warmth of sun's rays , a cup of hot
steaming coffee and a extra dash good music would set you in the right mood to have a totally great and energetic day....

Life With Music.....

I don't know what i would have done without my sweet little silver clip-on ipod ,otherwise called (sweetie)...i know its a little silly ...but still thats how i am at times..;-)..

The grueling half an hour drive to and fro from classes in the hot sun is being made bearable by my sweetie..with music popped in i can drive any no of hours...whenever my dad sees me with my ipod , this is the constant statement i get, " you are going to be deaf soon"...but i guess the curse is worth getting...lol...my typical day goes like this ...

Sun rises by 10 or 11..that is...according to my convenience..the first thing i do as soon as i wake up is tune into mirchi....the best radio station ever...i hear till i leave for college(one clock)....during class hours i always have my Ipod...to entertain myself..lol...and thn whn i reach home sharp by 6 i put the set on to hear to my fav dj ajai screeching over the mike..and later i give it a break say for an hour on the pretext of reading( auther haley,jeffery archer, tinkle..lol) or doing some work on comp( u knw, orkutting ..blogs, yahoo msg, seeing friends)..and again by near bed time..i have it popped in...and float away into a effortless slumber with the melodies still ringing in my ears...
