Character assassination

Have you event been through one? 

Trust me, you'll feel like you are the biggest loser in the world. You are of no use to anyone and anything. You are incapable of doing a simple task. You are constantly questioned for your thoughts. You are doubted for your capabilities. You loose out on focus. You go mad. Your physical, mental and emotional feelings go haywire. 

Give that person verbally assaulting you a BIG TIGHT SLAP!! 

Month 4

What a month i say!! Filled with prayers emotions and anxiety.

He stands for longer time and wishes to be either seated or carried. Loves to talk to his ammamma and babbles with her non stop. I'm getting lazy and sleepy due to feeding every 2-3 hrs. The tyres are back and i hate them!! Grr..!! I wonder why Mr cool hasnt changed his schedule yet. So many babies have stopped troubling their mommas and this guy hasnt stopped yet. His PIO hasnt yet arrived so i might have to handle him alone and thats why i want him to be more mommy-friendly!!

Lost few pics of his. but had a wonderful halloween. He was Mike Wazowski. Cutie pie. Another day borrowed a frock from his future playmate :P and he looked lovely in it!!

His PIO didn't turn up aparently and mom left to India. I'm am handling him by myself. I cant believe it myself though but yes its true. Mr cool is growing big, as in physically and mentally as well. Hez become mr natak. Lot of drama he displays in grabbing my attention. Aww those cute faces he makes and those expressions he gives. Love them!!! Love him!!

He says a hello with a hand shake :) Gentleman style :P (His ammamma taught him ofcourse)

Mommy me!!

Tears tears everywhere not a soul at peace!!

I was crying for my amma incessantly. My LO caught a cold. I'm definitely gonna hang a board "You DARE not enter my home if you have a cold" in future. A small visit to the the temple caused this mess. Poor thing was so tired to even feed. I felt as if this was the worst thing that could happen to a mom. What a timing, no adult supervision. I really feel the oxytocin has gone haywire in my body!! or dopamine has in his body!! or is this what all mommies feel? I couldn't stand to see the running nose and teary eyes he had. What sin had he committed to get this cold i wondered. I cursed myself for being such a careless mom. A temple visit was not necessary and even if we happened to go, it wasn't necessary to pass him on to people. What was this unexplainable bond? When did this develop?

Hubby was a darling managing two cry babies. Oh man.. i cant live without these two!! Tomorrow is his 4th month. I hope he is happy to see some small celebrations from this tired mommy!!

God bless all kids!!

Month 3

Hez all babbling and cooing during his non-sleep time. I see a future where i'm trying to shut him talking. Apparently my mom had same trouble with me. She says my grandmom used to teach me Bhagawad geetha when i was 1.5 yrs old!! How amazing i was as a kid!!

Back to Mr cool. He has gained some weight and looks really adorable. But he is still a mystery as to whom he resembles. Looks like everyone and no one!! Along with the chub he seems to be growing fair. Mom says he will never get my complexion. I say you never know. Mil wants me to enquire about complexion increasing options from the doc. I say, I'm totally fine with him. Basically hez like my hubby. Fair or red complexion and both look absolutely fine and awesome to me.

Hez smiling more and more as soon as he identifies me or mom or hubby. He makes some funny sounds and gargles kind of some spit out. (Mom says its linked with my hairfall :((( ) He has learnt few new things as well. One being disturbing my sleep. When I turn away from him and sleep, he pats me and calls me when hez hungry. How smart is that!! One more new activity is now i try to put him on his legs and lo he stands for 1/2 a second. I'm proud!! :)

At a bhajan recently, people, apart from complimenting his name were saying he is very sharp for a 2 month old. I don't know why but am too proud already. My mom has taken extra effort in grooming us into such sane beings, i really felt i ought to do same. I quit job. At a stage where i was earning in 6 digit figure, i resigned. Frankly i am not bothered but i wish i saved some for myself :(. So now life is all about Mr cool only. I think it'll be worth it!!

Nothing much new, mom n me sing songs for him & put him to sleep. He loves it. So im planning to learn more songs and have started a new label "bhajans". MM n mom n dad love to hear me sing. I find it strange. Mom n MM keep forcing me to sing everywhere. I'm running out of songs. Bah!!

Made veggie puff for this boy this month. God bless him.

Month 2

This chotu is too smart. I think his grandma is training him to be so. They both bond amazingly well. My mom is a introvert actually and playing with kids is her passion (I have definitely inherited that :)) She and he go on talking for minutes about random silly stuff. Me & MM have a laugh at this duo actually. He has learnt to coo and make sounds. Sometimes he responds amazingly well to the questions we ask iff hez done with his feed and has had a good nap. He says good morning in the same tone as mom says. I think he may learn to speak soon. :)

After dad left i got involved in his bath time. Trust me, these are so delicate that i need to pour water also with so much caution. I can spend hours together looking at this wonder but these days he identifies/ smells me and cries relating me with his food. So i instantly hand him over to mom or MM. All of us actually fight to burp him. He he. MM doesn't involve much in anything though he claims to know everything, but loves to burp him and kiss him. MM's mush kinda hurts him and he responds so cutely staring into his dad's eyes.

He feeds exact 2 hrs intervals during the day and night about 3hrs plus. I'm astonished how this guy realizes its 2hrs and hez up and crying. A few days back myself and him cuddled (Hez begun to stick to me and sleep) Mom said it was so wonderful to see us like that. When he is next to me, i am more cautious and hence do not sleep well, so i prefer putting him to sleep in the swing for few hrs so i can sleep and roll as much i want.

When he is hungry he makes a frown. I don't understand how he learnt that. He looks at his grandma or dad and makes that. n they both instantly search for me. How this cute creature displays emotion is so puzzling!

I feel he sort of understands me. We had been to grocery shopping and he didn't disturb his momma. The other day had been to bhajan and he didn't wake up there. I'm also a good mommie, 3.5 hrs i had wrapped up everything and i brought him home quick so fed him at home.

Making besan ladoo for this month bday. Cheers to me n my beta!! I'm royally enjoying creating collages of his pics and doing all funny naughty stuff. :))

Forgotten the world

This feeling only a mom rather a new-first-time mom can understand. That tiny hands, small faced 7 pound wonder has made me forget the world. Yes i do facebook but I don't care about anyone now. Lost myself to him. Motherhood is like a out of world feeling!!

He came into my arms struggling to open his eyes and made some peaceful sighs. I introduced myself to him as his Amma and i was crying. He saw it too with his puffed tiny weeny eyes. He was a tall baby and continues to be so. On day 2 only he learned to latch and day 5 he actually opened his eyes wide open. Soon we learnt that he likes hot water baths but the doc put a full-stop to it as his umbilical cord hadn't fallen off yet. The 11th day punyajana went well and we named him with 5 lovely names "Akarsh","Sai smaran", "Gowriah setty","Mukul","Eeshan". I remember his 12th day, i spent half an hour talking to him at 7 in the morning. Wonderful it is communicating with a being who was made by you but cannot understand a word said by you yet :P. I spoke shit with him telling about how my life was and how it will be now with only him in mind. Hope it is in his memories too.

They say kids are still communicating with god about their good and bad deeds of their previous life and making deals about this life. Now and then when he is sleeping i'm giving him tips to help him make his deals. Oh man, i pity him; such a stupid mom he has.

Life is all about diapers now. He is in his 0th month and already does a lot of tricks. His 1 month bday is today and i baked cup cakes for all. He tasted it too. :) (I made him taste!!) He notices people and sounds since 2 days. Looking forward for more awesome stuff.

Cheers to God!!

Swoosh...

Dated(03/13/2012)

swooooshhh... By the flick of the Elder wand
Life has vanished into thin air
I was lost in a dream
Left all known and was ready to face the unknown
Left all the familiar and was embracing the strange....?

Waxing phase is always a welcome
But what if it turns out into a waning choice
End of a life or a new beginning..?

Future is yet to be forseen..
Will it be comfortable
What crossroads will i reach?
I want to know what lies ahead...!

Behold Life!
Not a soul have i deliberately disturbed
Not a being have i wantedly bestowed sadness to
WHY THE HELL SHOULD I CARE?
He is with me. All is and will be well too!


The song Dhak Dhuk from English Vinglish is some how close to my heart.  When i had to move to Boston i did think a lot! Being the so called traditional-minded girl, i was wondering if leaving husband and going to another city to set up my career was indeed the right choice. A lot of opposition from family can be handled if by being strong, coz i knew what i was doing. But the oppositon from within was a lil' troublesome to go through. Millions of anxieties. Gazillions of experiences!! Truely love Boston from bottom of my heart for being so kind and considerate to me! Cheers!!

Getting close to Myself again!!

6 months tada...!! All due credits to my parents and sister-in-law, with out whom i would have been a clumsy cribbing housewife!! Anyways here i am, meeting so many new people, living with roommates, paying and managing all bills by myself.. not bad right..! Life teaches a lot! Now the journey around the globe has been worth it !! Glad things are smooth! :) touchwood!!

I stay here in Framingham which is 30 minutes from Boston. Its a part of greater Boston are which consists of about 203 towns. Best part is i'm away from all the hustle bustle of a city but i get to enjoy it with just a 30 minute ride.  This also gives us so many places to visit. Ummm.... everytime he came here we made it a point to do some activity. White mountains, Martha's vineyard, Blue Hills hiking. Trust me, I have been to boston just once. Without MM it feels pointless to go out.  So basically i don't roam much. But moving to boston has been the best thing that has happened to me in USA. Getting really close to myself again.  :) 

ATT is benefitting a lot from me because of the innumerable calls i make. Watsapp and Viber are getting me close to my family and friends again. Family time and friends time is never an issue. My grandma asked me if me and Mr hubby talk at-least once in 3/4 days and i told i told her i call him 3/4 times a day. Have just got too used to him.  Missing him has become an integral part of my day.Give basic updates about day, ask if he ate (which he always answers with a Sub), bug him a lil', make plans as to when to meet next blah blah. I would never ever advice staying apart to couples who have lived together for some time. Its a whole new void in each's life, especially in US where you don't even have your family with you.

There are sooo many Indian restaurants nearby :))). A temple 15 minutes from home. A touch of home food now and then and visit to temple keeps me happy here. There are so many indians in this area. And hence lot of options and facilities for indians. There's indian grocery available and so now attempting to cook with new vegetables. Actually the ghar-foodie (MM) would have been super happy here! Fresh vegetables! :)

Living with roommates is indeed fun. Not fun as in fun but its a different experience. Glad i have great roomies. We cook together sometimes, chat and gossip endlessly but equally respect each others space and privacy. I have heard people in East coast are little arrogant than the west, but by personal experience Boston is more welcoming than New York. I can somehow relate my current life to my life in bangalore and thats one of the reasons i like being here.

Work is all fine but gets very hectic and unexplainable sometimes but learning to cope that also. More over i had my final semester project to submit. So till April had many things on mind. This is my first full fledged job, so theres a lot of things to learn. Basically lot of non-technical things to learn. But its all going good so far and has been a pleasurable experience too. Having parents here was one of the other awesome things that happened to me here. We four had good time but it would be great if they could  have stayed here for more days. Fun seeing dad house arrested :)

Lots of things yet to happen, lot of problems yet to be solved, lot of decisions yet to be taken.  Staying together is one of the highest priorities but nothing seems to work out at all. Hmmm.. Time's the answer for everything. Hoping for the best :)

Insane Me

There are some days when I think magic doesn't exists. Everything that happened was all a fantasy. When this thought creeps in, I fall into a deep black pit with the only thought being that . . . . This is life.. I chose it! Nothing is special, nothing is magical, and there's no way I'll ever be more than just any other idiot cribbing in US of A.

I am hopeless, reckless and lost.... tripping and tumbling through internal chaos i AM making a sincere attempt to find myself, the old me, the idiot me, the insane but sweet gal in me. This shall pass, things shall change and i will be back may be with a bang.

Careless words make people love us a little less. Patience is really a most important virtue. This too shall pass is the best answer to all questions. Be yourself, there will be people who like the real you. Don't care about the rest. Give the right things happening in your life a chance. Worry will not strip tomorrow of its burdens, it will strip today of its joy. Cry if you need to, it’s healthy to shed your tears. Forgiveness is not saying, “What you did to me is okay.”  It is saying, “I’m not going to let what you did to me ruin my happiness forever.”  Thank God for what you have and for all the wonderful people around you supporting you. Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

365 days!!

Started this post on : 06/08/2010

My first 365 days in US. My first 365 days as Shruthi Mahesh :) My first 365 days as a MS student. My first 365 days in Binghamton. Wonderful right? 

2 semesters up! And haven written about life here! Duhhh...! Time is the reason. Actually "No time" :P Dedicated to the place, which taught me not only to crib and cry, but to live!!

BTW this post answers: Hows life? Hows married life? Hows education system there? Hows masters there? I heard too many Indians right? and last but not the least when you returning? Hopefully all :D

The US of A, the thought was indeed enchanting. I remember the very first day we landed here. I was feeling like any other tourist. It was 7:30 pm and it was bright as if it was 3 pm. I liked it! He kissed me and said "Welcome to USA!"  There were 3 suitcases and 2 baggage's. I had to carry 2. I was looking out for my dad for help. Later just shooed the thought. :)  The drive to new home was lovely. There was green and more green and green all around and i fell in love with the city instantaneously. I was noticing every effort Mahesh was taking to make me comfortable and relaxed. After all had left everyone for him right ? :D He was a darling actually. 

The grassy spaces in between each house, wide side-paths, huge backyards, wooden houses, lush wooded hills, 2 rivers and bridges over them makes Binghamton a beautiful quiet place.Its in fact a valley formed by the Susquehanna and Chenango rivers. One thing missing in Bangalore was a river and lo!! Bingy has two :) The tourist feeling hadn't left me yet. I missed my 2-wheeler now. But i loved to walk too so would cover near by places and visit few small malls and stores by foot. Every time i paid the grocery bill with crisp notes at least 2 people would stare at me. I wondered why. :P

Almost a month till school began, I was learning the art of becoming a good house wife. I didn't know how to prepare coffee or tea and till date i don't know:P  Mahesh according to me is a "ghar-foodie", if such a term exists. He likes home food and who had to prepare? ME. I was fretting/cursing for cooking once a day when people cook thrice a day back in India. MM actually liked what i cooked. So that was relieving. But the main issue was i was not liking it. A tongue used to mom's food for 23 years couldn't adapt to new food. (Wish i could use Adapter Pattern here :P Ah.. the geek in me..!!) He actually told me parents that i am good cook. My dad some how doubted that :P

School began in the Fall. The vibrant colors exhibited could make a visitor just go mad! Hectic schedules began.. You are expected to know everything, if not at least learn them soon. While i was complaining about the abundant course work in my university.. i started hearing about how other universities have pretty light schedules and give good grades too. Mr MM convinced me, I am fine and doing good. That kept me on.

We made abundant visits to the Wegmons, price chopper, Walmart late nights. I loved and will remember them for ever. There are instances where either of us would be apologizing or making promises to change for the better. He even called my mom and said "Your daughter is more worried about house, food and vessels than studies!!" 1st semester passed by and then there was December. Fall was an awesome experience, with long walks on the bridge, Beethoven park and eating together and fighting over who would prepare food and who would wash vessels and the New York trip.

I started missing Indian food. I am used to hotel food during sundays. And who on earth cooks on Sundays in India. I wanted all those liesures and pleasures now. I wouldn't mind if someone fed me also. A little i realised now that Binghamton is all this. But i still liked it. 

I met many new families and made new friends. They invited me for Vishnu sahasranama recitations, pot lucks, godh-bharai's and birthday parties. I was always exempted from cooking. The woman treated me like their lil' sister who's come to study and never bothered to assign work to me. It was a very warm feeling to be with Indians in US.  Hmm.. their kids, how could i forget them? I was trying to understand their accent, answer their questions and seeing all new toys and equipments todays kids have  to play with:)

 Here, i learnt why "White" is the symbol for "Peace". Every morning, inspite of the effort taken by me to walk carefully to the bus-stop (have slipped innumerous times and fallen thrice :P) I would love to look around, for everything was pitch white and looked so serene to my sleepy eyes. I used to royally crib to go to the morning lectures. Woahhh!!

Bangalore was "Bang"galore for me! No rivers, no much greenery(as compared to here) but people and food, that made all the difference. :D Weekly golgappa's, bhelpuri's at 4th block Jayanagar. A visit to grandma's house every sunday and those fireside chats (influenced by Head First Design Patterns :P) with mom,  bhashans from dad and all the quarelling with bro and cousins and of course my friends! Aww.. miss them!!

♥ LOVE ♥

I learnt that, love reveals itself
In so many wonderful ways..
Sometimes in a tight hug or a kiss
Or even as simple as a smile, many days!

Those well crafted eyes of thou
give me a life-time full of love..
Those warm muscular arms of yours
Are an enormous cave of comfort, i really donno how!

In everything I do, you have always been a part,
which leaves a loving thought of you always in my heart..
I really am glad you chose me from all the rest
Me?? I know long back, I have got The Best! :P

Finally,
I love you dear, no matter what
Even though U've been the same sweetheart since the start..

I love you....
Not for trying to bring out the best in me
not even for the love u've given me
But for the enormous amount of love U've awakened in me!!

Happy Valentine's Day to all!!

@MM :
You better like this small poem written to thee :P
For the life-long promise u've made to grow old with me! ♥ u!

My Dream - Hope it comes true!

I am seated in comfortable chair, but waiting with anticipation for a person whom never in my life i thought i would meet."I hope he understood my mail. What do you think he would tell me to do? I hope he doesn't ask me to discard this idea. I have read so many things about him.... Hope he is really like that!! God..."  The door creaks.

"Hi.. Shruthi right!"

"Yes sir..."

"Sorry i got late.. I wanted Sudha to meet you as well.."

"Oh..No problem at all... Hi ma'am.. I have read so much about you both.. I never thought i would get this opportunity to meet both you. I still feel i am dreaming..."

"Oh.. com'on Shruthi... So tell me your plans.... I went though your mail completely... I liked the idea. "

"Actually, i have no much plans. I want to teach English for 6 months and as per my plan they wont be called beggars anymore"

"You have help..? Or all by yourself..?"

"I have few friends and some help from Youth For Seva.."

"Nice.. Interesting.. very strange too.."

"For a clear picture, I have prepared a small presentation ..... "

They both look at each other...

"You can go ahead.."

I was beaming plus nervous. There was some strong gut feeling, I couldnt believe I was doing this.. and had paid no attention to all the This-wont-work-out, You-will-suffer, You-will-become-a-laughing-stock,Come-back-to-senses....

I went on...

"Here's the cheque Shruthi....."
She says "All the very best, I will visit it surely."

Silent Rantings!!

I am currently living in a dream,
Having one beside me so that i don't scream;
Yes, A beautiful home to live in,
but away from all my kith & kin;
Life's always like this to me,
Tells me to open the door by hiding the key;
Gives me more than one options,
While I die making the right selections;
I rise; i fall; i sleep; i wake,
Thinking about the in numerous blunders I make;
Aall iz well is what i wish,
Why the hell was i born!! Fish!!

My Wedding Invitation!

 Once in a lifetime
Right in the middle of a mundane life,
Declaring a day as special one
To spend with closest friends & family.

It means so much to us
To have YOU with us by our side,
Celebrating the joyous moment
That has set in our lives.

On this very special occasion
A very special invite to YOU,
No excuses, No reasons
Please set this date aside for us!!

Wish you were here,

Holding my hands....

Wish you were here,

Giving me a peck.....

Wish you were here,

Making me smile....

Wish you were here,

Hugging me tight....

Wish you were here,

for never would i fear

For then, everything would seem

A picture perfect dream

Bound to you by

Heart-Soul-Mind

Thoughts are back

12 months rewind

I still loathe two thousand nine

Though i met a person who became mine.

Finally,

Wish you were here,

Doing things which we did together in Dec last year.

A Sneak Peek at 2010!

Predictions by an astrologer to me:

"The beginning of the year seems to be fine but a lot of new experiences to be faced! You have to be strong enough to face everything. The courage in you is going to be under a test this year especially the latter half of the year! I can see marriage on your cards. You will be flying to the states. You will have a new life, the old "irresponsible","careless" Shruthi will have/learn to transform into a new Shruthi who will not only manage herself but the other guy in her life also! Your mother won't be with you always, you have to learnt to think and take decisions on your own. You will have to not only cook but also study and clear the loan. Staying away from family and friends is very tough for you but u will get adjusted to it as u will hav very less time to devout to anything apart from studies. Basically, in your 22 years of life what ever you didn't do, you will be doing all that! Say bye to ur happy-jolly-merry-joyous life!"

So true right?? don't u feel so??? You to want to ask suggestions then you can mail this astrologer at "shruthi.rs@gmail.com" :P
LOLZ! A very happie New Year to everyone! Hope for the best in life! Keep smiling!

The 4 Letter Word - ****

- 8th July '09

After you came into my life, i can say there has been more negative thoughts than positive ones in my life and amongst us too! To begin with the very concept of "why not him in my life??" than "Do i like him??" was a puzzle to me. It still remains one too.

An year ago i would called it an crappy thing that could happen to a person. Now also please don't think i have fallen for some trap and saying all this. I still loath the give-take-greetings, senselessly-spend-on-gifts, impress-him/her-strategies!! Still **** means the very same to me; a daughter rushing to hug her mother after a long day at school, an old couple reading out stories to each other at bed time, a newly married pair holding hands n walking!

Its very hard to not to think of you and miss you in places where i was bound to miss you. **** for me, was when u called up late nights to just say I **** YOU, when you asked if i needed something from the mall you were about to visit and when you told my mom "i want her as my life partner!" . Everytime you called me "chinnu", trust me i would go mad! It was a very warm feeling. When you would call up and disturb me at 3 or 4 in the night, and ask a question like "what are you doing now?" or " Using three 9's and any mathematical operation can you get the answer 10??" just used to bring the blue-belt teak-wan-do kid out in me! Aaargh..!!

Frankly, i don't think you are attractive {please note that, seein you in front of me != seein in webcam :)}; but when you keep your hands folded on the table and place your head in between and look at me and when you look at me giving a small tilt, trust me you are smarter than anyone :) All i can see is just innocence in you!

Urs ABC!
P.S- I may be wrong, but will you be with me to tell what's right??

Misinterpretation at its Max!

"Helloww is there anyone behind you..?? "

For a questionnaire like me, this was like the most puzzling question someone's ever asked me!! Am sure this will remain one too. This in my life dates to sometime around June 2007!

The gym i used to go was pretty spacious and pretty expensive too. The best part about it were the super-friendly trainers and the people who would regularly come there to exercise. I used to meet people from all walks of life there- students to be in "shape", aged men to look younger and women to be healthy and fit. There were a few who would come just to make friends too, and increase their contacts because they believed networking helped their business! {i too strongly believe in that!} In particular, "He" was one among the most irregular persons coming to the gym. All i saw "him" was around 5 times in a span of 6 months. But whenever "he" came, "he" wouldn't miss giving a stare with a bright, cute smile :D and i too used to respond to "that smile" with a sweet smile of mine! For now, "He" is just a memory, and my memory sucks, which means i have forgotten "his" face and how "he" looks! Of traces of what remains in my head, "He" had pretty less hair, an oval-ish round face, was almost 6 feet tall, and had a pretty well built body {not too much tho!} Once had heard "him" on "his" cell too. Lo! "he" spoke in Telugu. I was too excited for a reason i didn't know myself.

Yup coming to the actual incident!! Once it so happened while i was on the treadmill, "he" came up to me and asked " Excuse me! Is there anybody behind you"?? THE literal translation of "mee venakala yavarana unnara??" Iii was totally lost into a world of thoughts! What the hell did "that" question mean?? Why will somebody be behind me?? Like an idiot i gaped at "him", trying to understand the question and "his" giggling expression. For almost 2 minutes i was blank! Ahh.. then i realized.... "he" was asking if anyone had reserved the treadmill after me!

Thanks to God, i figured it soon! Else i have no idea what damage that question would have caused! Look at the irony, just 1 statement said by "him" and countless thoughts and not to forget innumerable assumptions following it. Anyways, later I had a strong feeling "he" has carefully, consciously, wanted-ly said that sentence! Trust me GUYS are just Pahhh....!!!

P.S- I have taken a hell lot of time to decide whether to post it or not!

Self Obsession due to Facebook!

Which color best suits my personality??
What are my attributes based on the month i was born??
What does my birth month say about me??
What kind of smile i have??
How lazy am i?? {i got "really lazy":P}
Do i use Left brain o the Right brain or both??
Whats my IQ level??
Which friend's character am i??

last but not the least.....
When will i die??
How will i die?? {apparently someone's gonna stab me!}

Now i guess you know what i am talking about! These are the applications on facebook! Lord, i just got obsessed with myself taking up all these tests! They are really a crazy set of questions to be answered and then the results are out! There are times when i have laughed like hell seeing the answers and a few times saying nah that's not me!! Another thing i noticed was my friends too are taking these quizzes and a few are making up their own quizzes! WATEVER!! i had fun answering them! And for this reason i can say Facebook is ok!! But orkut still rocks!!

Wait.. Why so many Questions..???

OH YOU STILL STUDYING..??? no done with it.. waiting for results!
OKK DONE WITH THE COURSE.. WHATS YOUR AGGREGATE..??? blahh blahh
WHAT PLANS NEXT??? am still deciding
I HEARD YOU WERE PLACED IN SOME COMPANY, WHAT ABOUT IT?? they hav given a dateee..
AHHH THAT'S JUST A TENTATIVE DATE! WAIT.. AM SURE THEY WONT GIVE ONE SOON! oh kayyy
SO WAT PLANS NEXT ?? WRITING SOME EXAMS?? GRE NA CAT AH?? donnno!!

Guess for the first time.. I'M not able to stand questions. Am sure many of you too are facing these standardized set of torturous, sequencial, ridiculous, monotonous, un-answerable questions ! In the sense these questions are just cant-answer-now types! n Helloo! I know am done with engineering, but why don we engineers get some time.. to relax yar...!! Its recession time.. Understand na..! We will definitely think and come up with something.. after all its OUR future..!

Here's one sms on it {i found it apt actually :P}:

Don't ask

a woman her age,

a man his salary and

an engineer his/her placements :)

But ya, for how long can we go on avoiding such questions, hope i come up with some answer soon! Best Of Luck to all the engineers out there sincerely waiting for their joining dates!!
