My nails

Ouch!

Yesterday night this little girl came up to me in the middle of a party and asked me, "Hi what race are you?"

I was stunned and said something stupid like " Erm, Tamil.. I mean Indian.. why?"

She went "Then how come you cannot speak tamil?"

I was dumbfounded, all I could say was smile and say, "Ask her Shivani why...haha"

Ouch. Ok this had to be coming for a long time, just that it had not been played out till now. She was just an innocent little girl who had no ill intention.

To top this I was appauled to see the number of Tamil songs and movies they knew when we were playing sherades... I was lucky my song was "Iruvan". Anythng more and I'll be so stunned.

I mean she's like 6,7?

This won't be the first time, but can I be salvaged? Or is there an acceptable answer to "Then how come you cannot speak tamil"?

Abhi's 20th

It all started with the present I guess... and where better to get a present for such an indian-y person than Mustafa!


Yes I had to resort to such means to avoid getting 'Hor lan'. Actually I think that this is a really usuful feature of camera phones... makes reaching new places so idiot proof... unless you're a rupa that is..haha

And FINALLY I found the place...haha

In case you didn't know they have this lame bag surrendering system at mustaafa, at ALL 6 of its entrances. My advice, avoid the main entrances like ENTRANCE-1 where even handbags may be 'sealed' Just head to the more ulu entrances at the back where they are either really nice or just zzz.

Guess who I met there...

Lil' miss vani ya?

Could't let her hat get all the attn now could I?

Yes we were on the fourth floor, and being a mature as we were, we just had to amuse ourselfs. So enjoy the spread below!!

The clown(s)

The Fiend and the blond princess..hahaha

The gremlins... we lk evil don't we?

ROCKER DUDE WITH ROCKER DUDETTE!

Ok so we both had a flu that day thanks to SOME ppl who just have to be sick rite...haha kidding la. So we did the most intellegent thing, we decided to get for our BD girl perfume! Haha shld have seen us la, stuggling to sniff all teh different samples with our stuffy noses. Wished I had my old hands for a sec, so that I had more area to spray on! haha.

We ended up getting her A Jessica PArker perfume caused it smelled indian-y. And thats whay and Indian-y person would like right? And It was accompanied by this adorable card we made from one of her old pics.. She was 9 (so she claimed) in this picture.

Ok the words did not get through in the end cause I wanted to preserve the resolution. But check out the back.

Haha you shld have seen her face when she got the card hahaha.

Ok thats all for now. Will continue with another entry abount the actual BD next weekw ehn I get out of my LAST exercise before ORD ok? Whahaha...

New life, New experiences

PROLOGUE
This entry I probably going to explain my 'absence' from my usual activities like badminton and my ps-ing of my friends over the last few weekends. Why I have been so anonymously busy. It would also explain why I have been spending More time with some people and clear some clouds, so do scroll down for some entry!

Ok she is soo going to kill me for that... haha

And when we came together, we were really qutie good I have to say...

Too bad I haven't figured out how to get the video here yet...=)

EPILOGUE
Okok let me iron out some things. Yes you can pop back your jaws and save your arrows...

Yes I did join in this dance group, an Indian dance group and we have been rehearsing for a few weeks.

Yes we did do an Indian dance khair (don't know why but figured you'd ask tt)

And I too am recovering from the aftershock of all these. Today when I woke up, last night seemed so dreamy... I took some time to absorb it all. I MISS YOU GUYS ALREADY! Haha. Remember, we must use our GV vouchers together k?

Could you imagine me doing anything like this a couple of years back?

Thanks guys for the unforgettable experience and the wonderful memories we've made!

SANGITA ANKURAM '07

Ok I know almost every indian who has half a brain would stay away from these recitals.

And this vibe was VERY obvious when practically every other indian shunned from this recital, even the most rooted ones.

Why did I still go?

REASON ONE

Cause curiosity kills the cat? I had no reason to fear or detest or fear something which I I have no memory of right? I don't have any recollectable memory of going for such a show!

Haha you'd probably think these woman would be worth the three hours show I sat through!

In case you'd have figured it out, to my left is Bhavani and to my right is Shivani pilla (yes This is probably you last chance to catch her in a SAREE till her wedding day!) from YI.

Woah they were good. They were really good, especially shivani who got to be kinda like the lead and had this really cool 2min solo at the start of her groups recital. The only thing that kept me in check was recalling her participation in YI choir. Guess she was just a singer all along.

These people have such a cool, quantifiable talent. They even teach Sangeetham (traditional Indian music) to the cutest little kids. How cool is that? I mean take a step back and think about whats your quantifiable talented how it is being used....

MY REVIEW

OK then... the show was like 3 hours long, which requires a good amount of patience to stay awake to. I did get through over 90% of the show I'd have to say, Thanks to the wind section of the chow coupled by a good amount of endurance attained from he army and my exposure to chess games in the past. See my experiences do come in useful?

But its still aroungd to focus on their skill and stuff for so long. And the music is not bad, but not great either. I can see why Sangeetham is 'dying' and is fighting so hard to survive. I can't see sangeetham fighting good cinema music like June Pona, Loosu Penna or Jillendru Oru Kadhall. These aren't really hip hop or rock, and have really good vocals in them. So why would people listen to sangeetham on their MP3's over these? So sad.

The loss its not unfair or anything, just that it is part of natural selection I guess? Maybe in the past where variety was less Sanggetham music had a shot. But now I really don;t see an angle. Or is it just that I have yet to hear a good piece?

Whatever the case the culture should still be preserved la, even if it requires affirmative action and stuff.
