Tag-5
As i had already said,I'm like waiting for tags.Filling a tag is good time-pass and it makes us explore ourselves. And who will not like to tell the world how they feel??
So,Im filling up the tag sent to me by Kasabian girl.
More about the TAG:
The idea is, to list five items in each category and not necessarily in order of liking. You can always add or subtract categories according to your will. Then tag five mortals.
My five favorite words:
1.Home - Even If i'm given a billion dollars for staying away from my home for single night,I won't.For me,my home matters more than others.It seems that I can live in my home forever.It never bores me.Each and every brick in my home has my dad's sweat in it.I will never ever leave it till I die.When I hear the words ' Im going home' coming from my own , I would have this unexplainable joy.
2.Slim - I always wanted to be slim.As long as I can remember,I never look fit with my friends when it comes to size.I've always look different in a photo taken with friends.Sometimes,I even hate to take pics cos of my oversize.Though my mom says I'm lean(of course,for every mom,her son is a hero),Her words shatter when I see my pic. When someone says me "hey,you look slightly,lightly,microscopically leaner than before",I would be jumping between earth and heaven!:D
3.F-word = MASS(my college mate) introduced this word to me.Since then,this has been the first word that comes to me when i see something bad or hear something good!I had to be careful hereafter that this 4 lettered word shouldn't escape my mouth when I'm in office or in public places.
4.Thaarumaaru(superb) = I use many prefixes before thaarumaaru while using it.Whatever may be the situation,this word can bring out the emotion.Like allu kelambuthu(fear rising),I catched the phrase thaarumaaru from my school friend!
5.some Tamil words starting with o! = i greet some of my friends with the O words and one of my dept guy has O as his title and they call him as O balaji!:D(lol). I had never used this in derogatory manner.I never used this for fight,cos I never fight with anyone!
My five favorite celebrity crushes:
As far as of now,I never had crush on any celebrity! I dont know why? I have thought day and night that why I dont feel any crush on any actress when my friends narrate how they feel about some actress.But I have had strong crushes with the momentum after the crush, billion times more than the initial momentum.All these crushes were on girls whom I can see daily or atleast weekly.That too,these girls weren't the top beauties in college.But they're a celebrity to me!
1.This was my first crush or rather saythe first time I thought about a girl for hours.She was my school junior.I dont want to say more on this.Till now,I never cross her street without popping my head searching whether she is there in her home.And sometimes,I get an eye-eye contact too!wow!:D
2.My immediate crush on entering college.She was in my sports camp and I will always untie my shoe laces and see her standing in girls line while tying my laces for time which was like years to me!told her through a social networking site that I had this but never had guts to speak to you and got a reply "what do you want?"!:D
3.My long crush before the current one.Her eyes were so beautiful but not even a single guy in my gang knew her name.But someone got me her name atlast and gave me an extra trivia "she's committed in double side relationship".I felt angry for my foolishness that when a girl returns your gaze,it doesn't means that she is interested in you.
4.The last and latest one.Had crush on her for three years.Gathered all info about her on my own.Even saw the movie ,read the books she likes so that when we speak about these, she might think our waves are in same frequency,length and amplitude.But all these came to crash when she rejected all my requests in all networking sites of the world.:D..do i look like a stalker?? :O
5.Blank.Im waiting for the one who will reject my friend requests!:D
My five favorite random things:
My computer- of course,she is my only girlfriend!B-)
Internet - can't imagine how I would have lived without this.
Cycle - she(the effect of increasing flirting population in my friends circle;indirect peer pressure) was my love from my 5th std.Not able to touch her now,due to my lazyness to pedal.
Canteen/co-ops bund = has spent more time there than in classes during my fours years of college.though i cant sit there now,That place is my favorite.
Linkin park songs = makes me feel energised and jump on toes.
My five favorite comic book characters-
1.calvin=unbeatable.i dont know how he managed to make me laugh on his every strip;'he' refers to bill waterson.
2.Garfield
3.wolverine
4.bruce wayne(I like the way he overcame his fears)
5.The king in "Wizard of id"
My five favorite literary characters:
Ian Malcolm from "jurassic park" and "lost world"
Kenner from "state of fear"
Robert langdon from "da vinci code"
Andre marek from "timeline"
The swarm from "prey"
I pass on this tag to Ganesh,Gokul,Why so serious today, Archana and careless whispers.
So,Im filling up the tag sent to me by Kasabian girl.

I,me,myself!
Warning:This whole post is nothing but my account of how i turned from 'what i was' to 'what iam now'! Nothing interesting but check out the end of this post! Read ahead at your own risk.You may be bored to the extent that you may want to bore my head with a bore!:D
When I was young,I always dreamt of living in an urban atmosphere,travelling in cushioned cars and sleeping in big beds,as kids in movies used to do.Not that im old now,as I don’t want to be comparative(younger),I used positive(young).Wow,such an optimist Iam!:P
When we moved into our home,17 years back,I was scared because the neighborhood was so silent that one can doubt that if it ever existed.And as to confirm my suspicion,there were no neighbours,which in turn was due to the fact that there were no homes around ours.Our nearest neighbor was some 100 meters away ,not that our plot was so big,but due to above-said reason.There were , say, some 100 houses in the whole 4 sq.km locality.A paddy farm bordered our small home which also served as dead end to our street.I hated that.I instead asked my dad to urge people to build an apartment there so that there would be some noise.
I used to cry when my mom dragged me on the soily brown mud-roads and the reason why I cried was to travel in luxury.And that luxury was an autorickshaw.ya,I envied the kids who used to travel in auto-rickshaw when I was to walk on all two legs!:D..There were spinach and other cash crops farms on either side of road for about half a mile from our home.That would have been a heaven for me now,but it wasn’t for me then.We never enjoy something that is granted and we crave for it when we don’t have it!!
I loved my adjoining locality which is stacked with houses and the streets were always full of people.Yet I didn’t had chance to move in that crowd.I don’t know why these two incidents are still clear in my memory:one was getting restless and crying to move away from a crowd which had gathered for a religious carnival and the other was getting lost holding a pink saree lady , thinking it was my mom’s sister when she used to pick me from school.I’m not clear when it happened,but I was in kindergartens when these happened.May be the prospect of getting lost in a crowd made me hate it later,I dunno!
We never went outside st.thomas mount for vacation.My dad used LTC for meeting the ends,with month end topping the list of ‘end’s.And who said posing before some structure built by men is the only happiness.Being in home is the best happiness one cannot buy.Others means of happiness are things one try to buy and fake the happiness for others, according to me!You know,in your home,you’re the king and you can do whatever you think!
But by the age of eighteen,I was dragged or pressurized to break this happy wall/comfort zone and I was pushed into college.This college was miles away from my place.Err..i forgot to mention the number 8 before ‘miles’.And it was the first time in my life,I felt totally helpless.Not because we are in new atmosphere,but because of my restlessness as I was sitting in jam-packed hall.I had never been in such a crowd except in theatres,that too which I went with my dad only.And this crowd was overwhelming.Rather than accepting my mind’s defeat to the crowd,I started hating the crowded places.And if I had to get a degree,I need to be in crowded places.:((
When i went to college classroom,it was crowded.
Canteen,crowded!
Season counter,crowded!
Train,crowded!
Road,crowded!
Exam hall,crowded!
Bus,crowded!
Theatres,crowded!
Campus placements,crowded!
My mind,crowded!(with thoughts on how to be restmore when im in these places)
I thought of even ending my life once and this ‘once’ was once-a-day!Like”a cartoon a day”!!:P
But I’m not a coward!And my parents were a reason why I love this life.Everytime I'm in heights of anxiety at the middle of a crowd,I would think of my dad and these suicidal thoughts are of no concern to me then!
All was well till 5th sem.My close friend died during the start of 6th sem and it turned my life topsy-turvy.First,I didn’t attend his funeral bcos he was cremated in his village and my parents barred me from going there.They thought I might completely be broken when I see his corpse.Though its true to an extent,I’m still under the guilt that I didn’t do the last things which every friend indeed need to do!:(
Second, was the void he created which he can only fill.And I was in such agony that I cant even walk a few steps without gasping for breath.I cried for days both in loss and guilt.I was taken to our area doc and when he checked my BP,the mercury did a new record of attaining peak after years of try.(Just an exaggeration!)She advised me to forget everything and move on with life.And as college re-opened,I recovered .But this fucking crowd-shivers escalated.Once if you find that you have high BP(160/110) whenever you get tensed,you will relate it to heart attack.Even if you don’t,I did it. That was the terrible misconception which should have topped the hall of misconceptions!:D..But I didn’t help it to attain that height as my brain goes to that step as soon as it senses a crowd.I feared that I would die of heart arrest when I get high BP.Which would be due to anxiety,due to crowd and the rest is what I face almost everyday as I plunge into the stream of people.Yet not even my best friend knows this.Not even my parents.I thought I would face this battle alone.But my continuous failures in exams,not the arrears,but I don’t get marks for my full preparation.Then,my sluggish mind got fed up of full preparations and low marks ,where restlessness in exam halls filled the potential gap.I stopped preparing and lessened the energy gap,so there is less voltage generated by the jump!:P And thus my grades went downhill.
At first,when I told this to my mom,she thought it was fear of exams.nah!for me writing an exam is as cool as buttermilk in an clay pot.Then they went to the angle of halls and even I believed it.I tested myself by seating myself in various corners of the hall.though the huge structure made me gasp,yet I never had the anxiety as when the hall was full.
Well,all that begins well ends in borewell.I bored all my energy and got out with a degree.And I bored some of my friends too!
Now im approaching it in an angle of 'preferences'.I prefer lonely places.I don’t prefer crowds.I prefer bikes rather than crowded buses or trains.I prefer deserted road rather than crowded road.I prefer ATVM rather than ticket counter.But then how can one accept his fear to win oneself.And so,im still going out and fighting a battle which I can only win and yet I win it daily.
Now,I miss the silent neighborhood,the serene farms,the soily roads,the cool air,the lone myself walking on the lonely roads singing and hopping in joy. Now I hate crowded urban centres,concrete roads,my adherence to luxury like cellphone,internet and bike and the whole money-chasing world.
And like adding fuel to the fire,”into the wild” made me fantasize myself in its protagonist’s role.I saw a christopher mccandless in me.I too have desires of working in a farm,watering and plowing by hand.Hugging my little plants . Roaming only with shirt and pant and without any money and fear.A peaceful mind,not worried about future.Saving a money in a bank doesn’t assure a safe future and in case,you’re in city,you need to do it.Thats why I don’t like the idea of living my rest of life in a city.
SO,I end this big post with lines from the song “society” which is one of my favorite song from “into the wild”. Though he did a fault by not crossing that river,yet the thought of myself living life that way is so romantic!It just tempts me more than a pretty girl!I say this Louder,CHRISTOPHER MCCANDLESS LIVED HIS LIFE!!
It's a mystery to me,we have a greed
With which we have agreed
You think you have to want
more than you need
until you have it all you won't be free
society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
When you want more than you have
you think you need
and when you think more than you want
your thoughts begin to bleed
I think I need to find a bigger place
'cos when you have more than you think
you need more space
society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me
there's those thinking more or less less is more
but if less is more how you're keeping score?
Means for every point you make
your level drops
kinda like its starting from the top
you can't do that...
society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me
society, have mercy on me
I hope you're not angry if I disagree
society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

Misconceptions
I came across this interesting post about childhood misconceptions in one of the blogs(post).And my childhood misconceptions flashed across my mind. I have kinda short term memory loss (I cant recollect anything clearly,but this doesnt stand for laws,concepts and formula....education ruined my brain!!)!Still,i will try to drain down some thoughts(wouldnt it be easy if we had a pensieve,so that we can dig our head into it and recollect everything which happened) :(..
- I thought that the world is composed of many hemispherical bubbles.This bubbles are what we can see as sky meeting earth at horizons(not literally).i thought the world was within this bubble!
- Later , at age of 8 or so,I thought India is the world.At that time,I think i had come across India map only.And i mostly imagined world as wrapped by India,like we see fat men zoomed on screens so they occupy the whole screen.
- I was mis-taught that each star represents someone.I felt a lump in my throat whenever a star fell as shooting star,which meant to me that that person had died.
- I thought that the water flowed from bay of bengal to arabian sea through our streets,when there were floods.I thought this was to equalize the water level in both seas.I think this was during my 4th std.
- I thought that whatever that is happening to me have already happened and Im sitting somewhere with my wife and watching these as recorded tapes in VCR(those day,there was only vcr)
- I thought that there are people below my house who were in the past and if we go down,we can see dinosaurs and people from the past.
- I dont know the difference between boys and girls till 9th standard.In my 5th-6th std,i stepped into girls toilet many-a-times(bcos it was near to my class :D) not knowing the difference and was threatened by my friends that they will throw me into the dark room if i did it the next time :D
- I thought that all girls I see would be my future wife and they're waiting for my proposal .I feel ashamed to say this that I was in this foolish thought till my 10th standard.:(
- Before my age of ten,I thought that people would come through wires and perform in my TV.
- I had a worst of the worst misconception.Even I used to laugh at this thought of mine.But im not going to put it here ,cos its related to .....:D

15 Books tag
So,filling my blog with words after a long time.I came across this post "My 15 Books tag" and thought of listing my 15 favorite books too.This list is not sorted out based on my most favorite to least or best to better.Im just listing out whichever book i remember the most.
- Lord of rings(the fellowship of ring,the two towers and return of king) by J.R.R.TOLKIEN: Thought of reading the three volumes in a single-go,so took the biig 1200 pages LOTR book and spent nearly a month reading it.The font size is nearly half that of the normal font size used in almost all other novels.I thought I had to put spectacles while finishing the book.But once you start reading it,you will be glued to it. The pace picks up after gandalf meets frodo and tells the story of ring.(btw,the film and book differs in many places).This book is classic.
- Jurassic park by Michael crichton : The book made me feel that the movie(based on this book) directed by spielberg is not so great as i had once considered. Everything(i meant the scientific facts) in jurassic park is well explained in this book,which the film lacks. This book had many thrilling scenes than the film and im still a fan of malcolm effect.
- Doomsday Conspiracy by Sidney sheldon : The only book of sheldon ,the plot of which i still remember.bcos all his other books seemed to have same style of plots.But this book was completely different.The hunter becoming the hunted concept was new to me when I read this book.And i read the book twice cos I loved the pace.
- Angels and demons by Dan brown : The first novel i ever read.Im not used to novels till i finished my school and was very poor in english too(This post is an example).But a friend of mine introduced me to lending library nearby and im still lending books from there to read.
- Digital fortress by Dan brown : The twists he lays for NDAKOTA is exciting.felt like watching a film while reading it.
- Prey by micheal crichton : If you want to read science thriller,then go for this book.You would feel short of breath when you're reading the pages where the forman takes the crew outside the lab and returns back with some spray(i forgot!).
- Alchemist by paulo coelho : 'You dont need to wander or go beyond the seas to achieve your dream.The key to success can be in your own place'.This is what I learnt from alchemist.The shepherd finds his treasure in his own place.Or I should have misunderstood the inner meaning in the book :( !
- Timeline by michael crichton : I like sci-fi's more and so I read all of crichton's except disclosure.I related myself much to andre marek in this fiction cos he too loved history like I do.
- State of fear by michael crichton : One book you shouldn't miss. try reading it once.Though some may feel its boring,it has real science . The first novel to come with graphs and references.:D
- Andromeda strain by michael crichton : This book made me think about the ways in which evolution can take place.Interesting book for science lovers.
- Lost world by michael crichton : the sequel to jurassic park.Malcolm comes alive in this book.In JP,he is left dead in the park.And in this book,he is said to have survived but with broken legs.Again many interesting things like gambler's ruin,animal behaviors,evolution,etc.
- Sphere by michael crichton: The book which deals with psychology of people in underwater habitat. If you read crichton book,you can get entertainment plus knowledge.thats his speciality.
- Vanthaargal Vendraargal (வந்தாà®°்கள் வென்à®±ாà®°்கள் ) by Madan : covers from gengis khan invasion to the last mughal emperor bahadur shah zafar.A must read for history lovers.
- Five point someone by chetan bhagat : You can laugh and feel when you're reading this book.the first time I came across a interesting concept of delivering few chapters from eyes of other characters apart from protagonist in this book.
- A brief history of time by stephen hawking:You should be highly patient while reading this book.Contains a lot of info's that you had to constantly refer physics book or ebook or net while reading this. And takes a lot of time to grasp hawking's view.I had headaches everytime I read this book.So placed this at end of list.

Cartoons
Hereafter,Im in idea of uploading my cartoons here.Im tired of showing my cartoons to everyone(well,no one actually sees it).After all,I pour my views on cartoons and expect some reviews(positive or negative)so that I may improve in it.Though I draw cartoons in my own way,without any guidance,I hope one day,My toons may get published in nation-wide circulating newspapers.With that faint light of hope and bulk of confidence,I hereby start blogging my cartoons.It may range from political to career sectors. And for few weeks until I get my scanner,I will first upload my draws , shot through webcam.So I have to bold the letters and label in bold letters in the cartoon. It may not look like good one.But every two or three days,I will try to scan and put good clarity toons.
Hope you people visit this blog often and play the role of good critic!

MAIL FROM FUTURE
Prabhu and Durga glided on the beach sand, holding each other’s arms. The couple was married to each other for four years and to their archaeological excavations for seven years. And now they are in Coromandel Coast for the past three months, excavating old coins and broken wares.
Durga saw crabs making diagonal path to them and poked them with a stick. Prabhu moved on while she sat there and played with crabs. He noticed an unusual change in waves.
One of his assistant ran towards him with a brown thing in his hands and gasped in between his words.
“Sir, we’ve found this package 5 feet below on site and this is addressed to you”
“What? Come again”
“To you sir, but no address or location specified. We had argument there and decided to let you open this package”
“Ok.good.you can leave now and continue the work”
When the assistant returned to the site, Prabhu sat on a sand mound and tore open the package. Inside was highly Digitized Journal and it belonged or will belong to year 2054. ”It should not be A.D. or B.C. Both are impossible!!”
He had an eye at his team whether they are playing prank on him but found nothing unusual. In the page under January 1, there were printed words.
“Hello. Hope you got this 6 feet below on 12.63 N & 80.17 E. At time 8:40 AM .If so, then I will suggest my friends to use PTP services.Well, PTP stands for Parallel Tele Portation and they are universal providers of transport through parallel universes. I know you had come across Parallel Universe theory. And recent findings have shown that Parallel worlds are spheres which are intersecting each other in various dimensions. In 2054, to go to past or to future, we have to just give our destination year, time and place. Calculating probability, they give us time and location where this world and destination world meet at intersection point. And that point is the entry to other universe.And, I delivered this package to you from such a point.So, just jump to December 26 page soon to save her”.
He flipped pages leisurely and turned to see Durga still playing with crabs.
And under Dec 26, 2054 were,
“50 years had rolled by. I think I was reading something when we saw the huge waves. Tsunami knocked me unconscious and sent you to heaven.Eventhough I lost my past memory and married my caretaking nurse in hospital; I can’t forget your face because you’re my first love. Miss you, Durga”
‘Durga!’Prabhu flipped back the journal tensely and found that it will be his journal in future.
“Oh my!!This is me.”It was then the reality struck him and he turned to see huge waves approaching them. He rushed towards Durga who was dumbstruck on seeing 50 feet waves. In moments, the waves crashed on shore with deafening roar and he lost his consciousness.

This is 500 words story(flash fiction-i managed with 495 words :) ) written for online fiction contest in which i failed to qualify(as usual :( ).The theme fixed for the contest was "journal" and so journal will be main role and this fiction never ends but goes on and on,if you understand!!
