Thotzzzz

Being a typical Coimbatorean I am hooked to the sweet siruvani water, shady race-course boulevards,the stretchy avinashi road,mild soft breeze,sprawling hills bordering the city and ofcourse always mentioned Annapoorna....hmmm..sambhar vadai@annapoorna..can anybody dare miss it!

Today at dusk I treated myself with this alluring delicacy.
After an impatient wait at the table..finally it was placed before me.. what a sight...a cute small onion right on top,beside it is a curry leaf aesthetically placed.If I were a kid ,eyes wide open I would have poked my index finger right in the middle,put it straight on to my mouth and said.......hmm taste super-la :) but alas age does matter. So silently picked the two spoons and unhurriedly cut it to pieces. The stage is set, all drenched in sambhar it was the first pick ,put it in my mouth...hmm..hmm...remembered the word "amirtham" in tamil... [is there an apt word in English?!??].Then with the lingering aroma of the sambhar I munch my way to glory..hmm..
This has been my solace at all times..be it longer days or shorter days,excited or irritated,happy or glum,exhausted or relaxed..this is my mood revitaliser ;) Reminiscing on the conversations and the friendships built on this 8cm dia delicacy..how Madhu and I wud think of sambhar vadais and in a jiffy rush to have them :) The crispness of the vadai and the spices in the sambhar peps up the taste to exceeding heights.Wish they make bigger ones..just 5 minutes has passed and it is almost over...:(
Is it the sambhar or the vadai which is ultimate?..hmm.. do
I sound like Tom & Jerry who is better?...the show goes on..the bond continues

With just 15 min to go….almost late for the 9’o clock concall I raced
past in my green gazelle (ma scooty). Ooops red light :( the digi
clock says I need to wait for 15 sec!!.Slowed down beside a white
Santro a sneaky look at the window to make sure my hair looks
fine..now it is 10 sec.. eyes fixed to the signal lights I’m
like ‘Go green, go green fasterrrr’.. 10 sec seems like ages…eternal wait…

Phew …ew..whatz dis frenzy emotion..agitation, desperation, urgency..allput together.. but yeah once in a while this crops up.. thotzzz flash past...

Something important, interesting, thrilling happens and u’re in those
whoa!! -Life ho to aisi bindas - moments and u all so excited call ur best buddy and there her phone keeps ringing…just 3 rings and u r already muttering ‘Pick up de fone…pick it up…com’on pick it up’….long wait… "your cal is being forwarded to" …Shut uppppppppp’

All set to leave for church..pretty appy dat am starting on time…sure I’d be in for the opening prayer, find a pew right below the fan...from where I can see the choir and the altar.Reached the bus stop..hmm looks deserted..Sunday morn nah…. and then the wait begins….just to beat de monotony…I sing ‘My God is a tower & he gives me de power....in de difficult hour to crush de..’ …finally in a distance I see a bus..there I go again…”Please oh please….let it be 29L.. let it be 29L”

Not juz durin de day…even nights r d same…sometimes u go to bed with those Robert Frost thots –Promises to keep and miles to go before ..errr as soon as de dawn breaks..now that’s ma line..huh ;) – then in the middle of the night am awake all drenched in sweat..global warming taking itz toll?!! ..no no Crompton greaves slowing down..the power has gone…itz 12:30 a.m God I need to catch some sleep..tomorrow’s presentation…?!#! …..eager wait…long wait..waitin in vain .. 'Lord please Lord u kno tomorrow is an important day Lord…let the power cum'..Voila!...sometimes dis works :)

Even during competitions…I silently get off the dais and settle down in my chair.. reflecting on my performance- the others also did equally well…the judges are in an nev’r-ending discussion ..results..here am I fingers crossed hoping, dreaming ,praying most of all waiting….then like Rachel in F.R.I.E.N.D.S I hear myself sayin..‘OH MY GOD My God..my God…my God…

But I guess only these moments spice up the situation….whatever…masti vibes nah :)))

Hmm….back here after a very long time …hi page how ya doin'..?...Yeah fell a prey to being 'Regularly irregular'!!
A few months ago, all enthusiastic I started my keyboard classes and was under one amazing teacher…Gosh!! Trust me He is Mr.Perfect..Dot on time, extremely sincere, taught to his fullest..Alas! I slowly began skipping classes..and then soon became regularly irregular…. Nil practice, fingers shivering…lost correlation…co-ordination and what not…aargh
Same case with this book by Michael Crichton, my favorite author…( his novels are just too good..just two pages is enuf u'll enter an all new world techie and contemporary, rich usage of apt words, elegant expressions…he rocks!!!)..wokay this book called 'NEXT’. Interesting stuff on genetic modification and what a threat/boon it is to mankind.You know I was so captivated by this novel that I practically read it whenevr I found time that is except when I was in office….read it while walking, talkin, eating…few days later…am so reluctant to even touch the book all the characters which had become almost real-life where now lodged in some corner of ma mind..what shud I say.. haan..lost enthusiasm!! Nah lost the rhythm of enjoyin my passions..there again IRREGULARITY..
Was juz wonderin if this had been with me for years and realization dawned only recently..or..whatever
Must accept am not the kind who believes in regularity in things makes u perfect…put it simple ‘Practice makes perfect’ is/was never catchy to me…still remembered how I got screwed up by my games teacher in school coz I hardly turned out for the practice sessions…but waz de point I haven’t lost a single event..be it de 100 m dash or my forever fav High jump…co’mon isn’t winning all that matters…same with my exams always burnt the midnight oil…seeds of irregularity scattered all around :)… not exactly….picked up a lot of good habits after that…so very sure this didn’t kick off early in life…
And you know even my driving has become so erratic….slowly and gently I move past the roads on somedays, on other days it is screeching brakes jittery stops…of late fascinated by driving thru the small reflectors placed at the dividers (hope my dad doesn’t see me do it)…frequent changes..
Yeah mathematically speaking the whole thing seems like a sine curve....
Got to kick off the habit quick….kill it and maybe conduct a state funeral in my mind
with full honours …and the epitaph wud be…

Here lies the habit
Regularly Irregular
Dare u step on it!!
U’ll be ruined by it!!

R.I.P (ne’vr to rise again)
