Ive been called technologically challenged.
I was not insulted then..but a little later (3 days) i realised it wasnt a great thing.. anyway..since i rarely have the energy to take up an argument with anyone but my brother..i dint..
but soon - i got my laptop!!!!
first of all - i had to consider the merits of this one vs that one.
40 GB???? upgradable????
then on to operating systems - XP vs Home? Pirated vs LIcensed?
finally - Processors - Duo Core vs Athlon????
Mom told me to get 60 gb, kichu licensed and my cousin - athlon. SO there it was - all ready shiny and new.
I take it to delhi..
around december - teh damn thing switches off and doesnt switch on...so i cautiously lift it..move it around a bit.. i wonder whether banging it with my fist would produce the desired effect - it seems to work very well on stubborn flushes!
decide against.
bring it back to kochi in the hols. meanwhile have struggled to finish assignemnts on time as im running between freinds laptop and the bloody city is so cols i dont want to take the freezing walk to the lab.
so in kochi. i call up the guy, make an appointment and carry it there. He looks at it for sometime, takes out the battery. He looks at it carefully. then puts it back.
THE DAMN THING TURNS ON!!!!!!!!
i hate technology.
Through a twist of fate - i now own kichu's camers fone with blue tooth technology.
I dont know what im going to do with it.

pooch and puffy
We have two Cats.
We had one, and then she had one. She is called pooch - short for poocha, and weve named him puffy - short for pufferfish, which is what he resembles if anyone goes near him.
our pooch is a darling - she lets you pet her, and stroke her , and shake her and kiss her..and play wonderful games. she comes to the door and calls you if shes hungry - or just want to be with you.
Puffy on the other hand, hisses and spits if you come too close. the only time you can stroke him is if hes too sleepy to notice that youre doing it.
today, we let them in in the evening. Pooch sat in ammas lap and reveled in hte luxury of being petted while puffy entagled himself in the wires behind the TV. when it was time to put them out, we carried pooch two steps, waited for her to call to puffy, and then took another two steps. progress was being made in this extremely slow fashion, when puffy took it in his head to go back to playing with his wires. so i bent down put my face to the floor and did my beast imitation of pooch's meow. He gave me a look - like "what the hell are you doin?" before he decided i wasnt even worth that much. so finally we shook newspapers at him to make him move. a lot of newspapers and some milk is what it took for him to go to pooch otuside.
I love our cats but they really do drive me nuts a lot of the time.

Dear All
It's always awful how time flies when your having fun. I arrived in Kochi fully intending to sleep away around 20 days. It didnt happen :(
My holidays sped by without me knowing it, i havent actually spent time with family, or my friends..or anyone..i hate that feeling.
Anyway- i hate that feeling. you know what else i hate??? DELHI
It sucks - biGTIME.
rude annoying people, terrible weather, dust everywhere, no rain, awful traffic, autos that loot you, no going out after dark, expensive theatres, expensive restaurants, sucky north indian food all the time, the groping in buses, the prejudice (most people i know in delhi think that theyre right all the time and south indians dont know anything), i hate that attitude....
the only good thing about the city is the wide, clean streets.
i dread going back....

This happens to me all the time
I dont know if anyone even cares about my rantings and ravings, but im not going to let that deter me..i mean...THIS IS JUST UNFAIR!
I got deleted off orkut...and Blogspot as well!!!!!!!!!???!!!!
how does this happen???
any thoughts?????
Im back in kochi now..and loving it!
it raining..its green..everything smells fresh..
i dont know if anyone else had crossed a bridge in the rain..on foot..without an umbrella..
water stings your face..theres a lovely breeze blowing..
the wind whips yr hair into your face.raindrops hit the water beneath the bridge...and theres water spraying in every direction. Drenching you.
its what i think of when the word 'element' is mentioned.
