Yeah ofcourse we can't expect everything to be perfect....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KMC's an all together a different environment... But school was totally different that too DTEA way too different....I miss school for things like PT periods , for the way which teachers act... no offense to the lecturers over here..... but the ones at school are special for sure , having really good fun at class.... etc etc......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our batch at KMC is called Rhythmz.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well our batch is sort of cool.... lecturers call us mischevious students... but all the more it felt way too cool going for the batch film so spontaneously and with such a wonderful timing that it rocked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the batch trip . WOW.... thats all what i can say.... Being first years we could only go for a one day trip.. so theme park was one of the very few options... We went to Queensland... well it was one of those days which i'll never be able to forget in life... it kind of made me feel that i'm really lucky to be in such a type of batch.... we had fun all the way to queensland.. dancing and stuff.... And in the return journey we got to hear our lecturers sing and dance.. It was way too cool......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And right now... all of us are gearing up for the Intra College Culturals... Vanavil.... That will most probably be in the end of April.... So lets see..... All of us are keeping our fingers crossed for the event...... :) :) Hoping our batch meets with victory in the event and gets more fame... :) :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Batchmates&lt;br /&gt;All The Best.....:):) Let's give our best out there.....

As you must be knowing, the Health Minister, Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss has made rural health service compulsory which extends for all under graduates. We are vehemently opposing this because the Minister is not guaranteeing permanent jobs to us. This system seems to be a well worked out plan to reduce the Central Government' s expenditure on Primary Health Care. The doctors will be working in any village for a maximum of four months. This duration is hardly sufficient for any person to get a feel of the place in which he will have to work and the remaining eight months the doctors are going got work in district and taluk hospitals only. Is that called rural Service ???  The stipend that is given has been reduced from Rs.18000 to Rs.8000. We, the medicos are ready to take up jobs in rural areas if we are guaranteed permanent jobs. He made a promise of permanent jobs recently on a TV show called"Neeya Nana" aired on Vijay TV. But we have not heard from him after that. And the main point in this issue is that we are being sent to the rural areas as trainees and not as whole doctors. They are making it a part of our study. So this in turn will affect the people only. How will the people come and get treated by a trainee ??  First of all a Full Doctor can only treat the people. If at all a person comes for treatment how will he/she trust the trainee ??? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another major reason, why we have been protesting is &lt;strong&gt;because this scheme will increase the duration of the MBBS course from 5 ½ years to 6 ½ years&lt;/strong&gt;. This will place a huge financial burden on students hailing from lower middle class backgrounds. Most of them avail loans and scholarships for their education. This can wreak havoc in their plans of repaying their loans. In the case of women, the increase in the duration of the course will force many parents to marry off their daughters at an early age depriving them the opportunity to study further or gain work experience. Many fear that MBBS will not be a favoured course for women in the future if things go the way the Minister wants them to. If this bill is passed then most of the students will surely hesitate before joining the course, because in the year 2007 itself around 150 odd students switched to engineering after getting medicine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many countries have been asking India to spend more on its Primary Health Care (PHC). If this scheme is introduced it will be like a slap on the face for all those countries which have been investing in India's PHC schemes. India is a country that allocates maximum money for Defence and related purposes, every year. It is also said that a substantial portion of this money is not spent at all. But not many seem to be complaining about the neglect of PHC in every budget. We the medicos hope that this protest will raise awareness about continuing neglect of health care systems by successive governments at the Centre. As per WHO, the GDP should be 5% and the government is just spending about 0.9% for health care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This protest has now started to spread in other institutions in other states. Students of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS)have also started striking now. They have another reason to strike.AIIMS chairman, Venugopal has been at loggerheads with the Health Minister for quite a while. The Health Minister will be tabling another bill in Parliament, which will force any person, who is holding the post of AIIMS chairman to retire when he reaches the age of 65. This is a deliberate attempt to show Mr. Venugopal, the door(he is either 65 now or going to complete 65 shortly). Many other private medical colleges from Karnataka and other colleges from Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Kerala have started their protests from the 27th of this month, many of which are indefinite strikes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The PG students have also started their strike against the extension of the course for 3 years. So taking into account both the extensions.... The MBBS course with an MS or an MD takes about 13 years which is just for the study.... coz after that the Doctor has to establish oneself......... So by the time the person settles it will become 40 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to conclude saying that this strike of the Medicos is not at all politically instigated. We are fighting for every body's good and welfare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To, read more about the protest my the medicos, visit:---------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.medicalprotest.blogspot.com/"&gt;www.medicalprotest.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Support Us Medicos....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;signing off...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3717575949819928916-269849206001734517?l=risingminds.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://risingminds.blogspot.com/feeds/269849206001734517/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3717575949819928916&amp;postID=269849206001734517' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717575949819928916/posts/default/269849206001734517'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717575949819928916/posts/default/269849206001734517'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://risingminds.blogspot.com/2007/11/on-going-strike.html' title='THE ON GOING STRIKE...............................'/><author><name>Nandini a.k.a shylu.....</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09271544697980918624</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717575949819928916.post-5243639086966122545</id><published>2007-11-16T23:28:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-18T06:41:42.305-08:00</updated><title type='text'>YO AM BACK WITH A POST AGAIN.........</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:130%;"&gt;Saran's Birthday !!!!!!!!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;It was so cool....................eight of us rocked it at CITY CENTRE..........................

I always had a feeling college life would be free and students are allowed to do whatever they want which is partially true..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Friends:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Friends at college rock big time!!!!.......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;We are all together.... fun, laughter, competition, commenting etc.......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;But five of us are very close....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Ashwini&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Madhuri&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Nandini [ Yo thats me ]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Saranya&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Sujeetha&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;We call ouselves the LAST BENCHERS..... M.B.B.S. MEMBERS OF THE BACK BENCH SOCIETY....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Always found in the last row of any hour... Dreamy faces during class hours, smsing sometimes or passing papers with funny sketches and comments, commenting under the breath........ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;I guess it's an achievement for the five of us that we have become troublesome already with just one month of the college gone.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Mainly during the dissection hour it is fun as it is generally the time for gossip... Any hot topic from the hostel girls or probably the few stupid guys in our class or the INTERACTION BETWEEN THE FIRST YEARS AND THE SENIORS forms the usual conversation... The first week we used to be damn serious trying to catch all new words that were being thrown at us..... Then we realised that it's boring and we spend time talking in the first half and the rest in trying to see all the muscles and tendons which the people who are dissecting have uncovered.... :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Culturals :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Our college is hosting this cultural called Pradarshini from 19 th of this month.... in which I can proudly say that many of us are participating in doing the host performance.... I'm the bride groom for the dance [:D]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;It continues till the 22 nd of this month.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;So we tend to stay back after college hours that's after 4:00 PM... Till six. All of us become so tired after the tedious practice that there's no energy left out in our body when we return home. So we come back, sms each other as to what we are doing, eat and doze off to wake up for the next tedious day.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Co-operative Stores...... or COPS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;This is the store of our coll where we catch a snack.... It's usually great but this week I had 3 Badam Milk bottles in a row and slice and now I have caught a terrible cold and cough..... [:D] CARELESS ME!!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;And I usually have a tiff, rather the man in that store pulls my leg as I make a fool out of myself everytime I go there!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;LECTURERS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Well Books are our best friends.... gotta study on our own... no other go.... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Had my first physiology internals this week and I guess i sucked big time in that paper..............&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;' PHYSIOLOGY EE IPPADI NAA.

I was gonna take my afternoon nap when I got a call from a lady working at Reader's Point (a Library in SB Colony) saying that I can go get the Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows. I gave a big punch in the air.. and screamed YES!!! I GOTCHA!!!!... I had to go by my Scooty Pep + and I was wondering whether the watchman got scared the way I ran to take the vehicle outta the apartment... Probably yes!! He did get scared when I jumped down the stairs. [:D] And I was thinking if I would drive like a mad monkey on the road... coz I was so happy that I was going to read the book at last. And while driving back there was this man staring at me, at first i dint realise as to why he was... that was because i was talking to myself like a freak.. I realised what a crazy mad girl I am... [:)]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do talk to myself when I'm extremely happy or when I'm oo angry.. [:)].. I don't know why but I like that habit of mine too.... [:D]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So at last I got my hands on the last and final book of Harry Potter Series... Seriously it turned out to be too good...!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank God I read it before leaving to Chennai...:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No Spoilers from my side... :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bye!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3717575949819928916-3444876379089996289?l=risingminds.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://risingminds.blogspot.com/feeds/3444876379089996289/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3717575949819928916&amp;postID=3444876379089996289' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717575949819928916/posts/default/3444876379089996289'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717575949819928916/posts/default/3444876379089996289'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://risingminds.blogspot.com/2007/07/hp-7-s-too-good.html' title='HP 7 &apos;s too good!!!'/><author><name>Nandini a.k.a shylu.....</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09271544697980918624</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717575949819928916.post-110816887694504535</id><published>2007-07-18T08:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-18T10:05:26.545-07:00</updated><title type='text'>POTTER MANIA ALL AROUND!!!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;J.K. Rules!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Hi All... I apologise for the silence in my side for such a long time now.....I was outta town for almost a week... and I wasn't even in the mood of thinking of what I should be blogging. I came back on &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Saturday&lt;/span&gt; the 14&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; of July and the same day had planned to watch the Harry Potter and The Order Of Phoenix, morning show. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Well about the movie... It was the usual HP movie.... Everyone usually goes to these movies with such a lot of expectations. Sometimes they feel disappointed at how a particular scene has been shot against their own imagination. Personally, I felt somehow more disappointed this time around. That's how it goes with HP movies... The bigger the book the more you get disappointed with the movie. It's almost impossible to condense a 700 paged book into a 3 hour movie....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Well quite a lot of things were left out... &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Quidditch&lt;/span&gt; matches deserve a mention.. That's the point where Ron plays a major part... and I seriously got angry over that be&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;coz&lt;/span&gt; Ron has always been my favourite character.. He's the best.. [:D] more of a clown and extremely funny.... I very badly wanted to see the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Weasley&lt;/span&gt; is our King part where he enjoys fame... And the first scene in itself was sad to see for me because the entire structure of the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Dementors &lt;/span&gt;has been changed. What I imagined of the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Dementors&lt;/span&gt; was more similar to the ones which appeared in the Third movie...The Prisoner Of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Azkaban&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5088570398390736274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 409px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 411px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="300" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_-eZPZnFMo1M/Rp470SKl1ZI/AAAAAAAAABc/SeUmyoujzks/s320/harry_potter.jpg" width="344" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Well anyways the positives of the movie.... The duels were &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;picturised&lt;/span&gt; too well. The climax was &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;thoroughly&lt;/span&gt; a Hit. ....And the best of all was the part were Fred and George cracker it up a bit in Hogwarts, though Peeves was well and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;truly&lt;/span&gt; absent.. [:D] as in all the other movies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;But surely though many incidents were cut out, still I enjoyed the 3 hour movie because it's all related to Harry Potter. And he rules!!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Another thing for which all of us Harry Potter fans are awaiting is the final book... Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows. There have been many fan fictions that have been posted on net. Not trying to offend anyone personally, but none of them can match the real seventh book and we do sincerely hope the final book does match &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;up to&lt;/span&gt; all of our expectations.. [:)]. J.K. Rowling will do justice to the ending of this fantastic story.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;And I learnt about how these fan fictions are by reading one.... I tried reading one. And seriously I felt as if I was reading a Sidney Sheldon's Book [:D].... it was less related to Harry thinking of the Horcruxes and more of Harry thinking of Ginny [:D].&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5088572206571967906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_-eZPZnFMo1M/Rp49diKl1aI/AAAAAAAAABk/LRXwjOojXig/s320/Harry-Potter-and-the-Deathly-Hallows-thumb.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The book is releasing on the 21st of this month and 23rd in Coimbatore. So I have already planned on getting it from the library and I stand 10&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; in the queue...[:D]. But the sad part is I'll get the book after a week and I don't stand a chance to read it then because I'll be moving to Chennai...[:(] and soon my first year in college will be starting by August 1st. If not i'm planning to buy it somehow....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The final Countdown starts..... Hope the ending rocks.. it will... So three cheers for J.K..... Hip Hip Hurray!!!! Hip Hip Hurray!!!

I was enjoying the weather outside as I was lying on my bed and reading the last few pages of the book 'PAPER MONEY' by Ken Follett. As I finished my book, my school friends dropped in.... so the afternoon time was history and easily killed by laughter, fun and jokes made at each other. It reminded me of my school days. Seriously sitting at home yesterday gave me a strong feeling that I missed school days for the first time ever after the Exams got over...That was fun....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So as the evening drew closer, my friends left and I landed up getting damn bored with nothing to do... I don't know why but I wasn't even in the mood to read a book. So I started watching T.V... and as usual there turned out to be nothing in that too. News in NDTV was the same all day around. So I couldn't bring myself to watch all that again.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ultimately I ended up switching channels between the ongoing Wimbledon a match between Tim Henman and Feliciano Lopez, a five setter and Cartoon Network....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I watched Tom and Jerry.. I guess anybody would adore that cartoon... with it's Animation and the background score for each and every movement that is involved. The Episode consisted of Jerry's cousin coming up to help Jerry out to fight Tom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5081370369134371010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 394px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="620" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_-eZPZnFMo1M/RoSnbbBzIMI/AAAAAAAAABU/XF_fUOXqjgk/s320/dexter5.jpg" width="285" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seriously it reminded me of my childhood days when me and my sister used to come back from school in Chennai at about 3:30 in the evening, throw our bags in the side along with our lunch bags and start watching the cartoon shows from about 4:00 till 6:30-7:00 after which we used to remember that we had something to submit the next day in school and that we had hardly even started... [:)]. Mondays was special because my uncle used to come and all three of us used to watch. My Uncle is a unique character. All of you would wonder about the fact that a 25 year old watched Cartoons. He's a cool character in my life. He's the most jovial person I have ever known. He's really funny and he has this loud ' hahaha' laughter which is really cool to hear. Even his 10 month old kid starts to smile seeing him laugh... that's wonderful to watch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be it Swat Kats, Ninja Robots, Captain Planet, Popeye Show, Tom and Jerry, Dexter's Laboratory, Scooby Doo Series, Power Puffs or Heidi..... we never used to miss any of them... I miss those days seeing Didi running about here and there ruining her brother's Lab and Dexter running behind her angrily... We even used to see those shows after going to Delhi. Then we had to stop it ultimately when I was in VIII and we instead started watching WWE.. [:D]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last evening by seeing those shows I was reminded that I missed being a small girl....&lt;br /&gt;I guess once in a while it doesn't hurt even for elderly people to see Cartoons. It gives relaxation to mind especially cartoons like Tom and Jerry. Probably it's a way to take our minds off the tension that persists in today's life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, it helped me overcome my boredom and also reminded me of those unforgettable days in my life... &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Back with another post soon... bye...:))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3717575949819928916-4417641892076470736?l=risingminds.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://risingminds.blogspot.com/feeds/4417641892076470736/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3717575949819928916&amp;postID=4417641892076470736' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717575949819928916/posts/default/4417641892076470736'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717575949819928916/posts/default/4417641892076470736'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://risingminds.blogspot.com/2007/06/solution-to-my-boredom.html' title='Solution to My Boredom....'/><author><name>Nandini a.k.a shylu.....</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09271544697980918624</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_-eZPZnFMo1M/RoSnbbBzIMI/AAAAAAAAABU/XF_fUOXqjgk/s72-c/dexter5.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717575949819928916.post-9015332158168452846</id><published>2007-06-16T06:49:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-29T06:50:50.968-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A Visit To KG...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="font-family: georgia;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;20 Days of Knowledge and fun..&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;font-family:georgia;" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: georgia;" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_-eZPZnFMo1M/RnP7w4n7III/AAAAAAAAAAs/YMjnGWas3mY/s1600-h/kgh.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5076678022228811906" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; float: right; width: 185px; height: 166px;" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_-eZPZnFMo1M/RnP7w4n7III/AAAAAAAAAAs/YMjnGWas3mY/s320/kgh.jpg" border="0" height="121" width="165" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;font-family:georgia;" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: georgia;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:130%;" &gt;Let me tell you people a story..a real one... which happened a year back. I was sitting and pondering about those days when I was in 12th. Well in that year quite a lot of intriguing incidents took place which brought about significant changes in our lives. One of the best was when all of us in the 2006-2007 batch of BVB got a chance to visit KG Hospital. A year back, as we were about to start our 12th grade, our biology teacher informed us about these projects that we were supposed to do in that year. We were supposed have a hospital visit for 2 days and a dairy farm visit for a day. But our school arranged for us to have the hospital visit for 20 days during the month of May. When we heard about that most of us got irritated and angry about the fact that we won't have any summer vacations while the CSc. students were taken to this camp for few days. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: georgia;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:130%;" &gt;The visit started in the first week of the month. We were split into groups and each group was sent in for each department for 2 days. Then magic played a huge part. In due course of time all of us got really interested in going over there and learning more about how they handle things. Most of us were given opportunities to witness operations also. We all got to know how tough life is over there in a hospital. Each person has to contribute to the functioning a major way. If one does it wrong the whole system becomes erraneous. Hospital is one of the examples of places where miracles can easily be seen. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: georgia;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:130%;" &gt;Four lucky people in our class also got to witness an Open Heart Surgery. Lucky people..... Many of us even got to see Operations like Hernia, Uterus removal and minor operations like those related to tonsils. We also got one whole day to spend at this special eye care branch at Saravanapatti. All of us got see the Cataract Surgery being done which is one of the most delicate operations. Few of us even got to stay in the CT Scan centre where usually nobody other than docs are allowed because of dangerous radiations. But three of us... got to be inside the scanning centre. We were made to wear lead aprons so that we were protected from the rays and we got to see the whole scanning being done. That was cool...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: georgia;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:130%;" &gt;The 20 days not only taught us something more to what we already knew but something else.... much more actually. People working in a hospital need much more than knowledge. They need kindness and patience to attend to patients.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: georgia;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:130%;" &gt;The ending to this visit was a 'Thank you' program arranged by us students during which we had some fun... some dance and singing.... etc etc.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: georgia;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:130%;" &gt;After those 20 days we had to go to school. But as we started going back again, we felt something to be missing. Well ya ofcourse we missed going over there and learning new things each day. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: georgia;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:130%;" &gt;After that school started in June. And in the month of August we visited the dairy farm which was just for a day. But that was also quite exciting. We were taken to TNAU.. and probably we saw the biggest pig in Coimbatore :D..... We got to learn how they process and pasteurize the milk and all other related things. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: georgia;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Well sorry people I wanted to display a few photos related to the above story... but unfortunately I can't as I don't have those photos in my PC. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: georgia;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Hope you enjoyed this bit from my past.... Lots more to come.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: georgia;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Bye.... :))&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3717575949819928916-9015332158168452846?l=risingminds.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://risingminds.blogspot.com/feeds/9015332158168452846/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3717575949819928916&amp;postID=9015332158168452846' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717575949819928916/posts/default/9015332158168452846'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717575949819928916/posts/default/9015332158168452846'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://risingminds.blogspot.com/2007/06/visit-to-kg.html' title='A Visit To KG...'/><author><name>Nandini a.k.a shylu.....</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09271544697980918624</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_-eZPZnFMo1M/RnP7w4n7III/AAAAAAAAAAs/YMjnGWas3mY/s72-c/kgh.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717575949819928916.post-2748006335208267272</id><published>2007-06-16T01:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-16T08:09:06.504-07:00</updated><title type='text'>No Captain Jack Sparrow....

So all of us had the feeling 'Why not??' and so we went for the first day second show of the movie at the Carnatic Theatre. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;The most awaited thing about the movie was Amitabh's Jack Sparrow look.. oh! sorry sorry... Captain Jack Sparrow look.. and Amitabh has done a fabulous job of the part he was given.. but the most depressing fact was that he has no part in the movie as such... he has to dance and all of us know that he's one of a kind with his dance. He has his own style which most of us would admire. So we can't expect any Captain Jack Sparrow dialogues from Amitabh..... (savvy??). So the main part in the movie is for Abhishek. As such the movie has no theme whatsoever. Well Yash Raj Films has shot this movie completely depending upon Abhishek Bachchan's sheer charm and acting. Just because of the hype that's it's being given and probably because of the Senior and Junior Bachchans' appearances the movie may not become a total flop at the Box Office.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;Well Abhishek (Rikki) and Preity (Alvira) share the main picture.. as they meet each other at the London Station as strangers and kill two hours of waiting together because of the train from Birmingham being delayed in which their respective fiancee and fiance( Lara-Anaida and Bobby-Steve) travel .. and as the train arrives both of them realise that they have got attracted to each other... and feel bad for the fact they have lied to each other about the existence of a fiance and a fiancee. After that they some how meet Lara and Bobby (whose actual names are Laila and Satvinder) to go with them for this Dance and chill party held at this place called RITZ.. and after that the story unfolds. So will they tell the truth to each other?? Well that part you folks can easily guess without me giving a hint.... That's the story of the much awaited 'Jhoom Barabar Jhoom'. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;I know.. there's no story... :D &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_-eZPZnFMo1M/RnOwHon7IHI/AAAAAAAAAAk/a3g5TXhQE4Q/s1600-h/jbj2.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5076594850187124850" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_-eZPZnFMo1M/RnOwHon7IHI/AAAAAAAAAAk/a3g5TXhQE4Q/s320/jbj2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;Well in this case Bobby and Lara have taken a back seat in this movie. Again they don't look as charming as Abhishek and Preity. So it's one of those rare occasions where Yash Raj Films is not upto it's mark... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;It's just worth watching once. Actually I found it tough watching the movie even once. But the title song is repeatedly played in the movie with different background beats. That's actually where Amitabh plays his part of dancing. I would say that the title is a must download. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;Apart from Amitabh's part there's nothing too interesting or intriguing about the movie. Probably the much awaited Shivaji would have been much more upto expectations. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;So if you people really want to go somewhere out and enjoy a movie which is bearable once.. then make it to Carnatic.... to see this movie.... :)) Happy watching... but get bored in between :D. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;I guess that's all I can say about the movie.. will be back with another post.. till then bye.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3717575949819928916-2748006335208267272?l=risingminds.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://risingminds.blogspot.com/feeds/2748006335208267272/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3717575949819928916&amp;postID=2748006335208267272' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717575949819928916/posts/default/2748006335208267272'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717575949819928916/posts/default/2748006335208267272'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://risingminds.blogspot.com/2007/06/jhoom-jhoom.html' title='No Captain Jack Sparrow....

Music is the biggest passion for me in my life... I enjoy singing and listening to music... its not just classical but other forms of music as well..... If you listen carefully there's music in everything....just the seven swaraas....Well I'm not learning music right now but i did when I was in Delhi. I miss the music classes.. actually that music class in Delhi was something special for me and something way different. We just used to have it on weekends... me and my sister used to spend about 4 or 5 hours just over the weekend in the classes... and those 4 or 5 hours used to be the best.. coz not only singing but even a lot of chatter used to be there..we had a whole group over there and i loved my music teacher.. Mrs.. Bhooma Gopalaswamy... She's really old and has a lot of health problems. But at that time she used to teach about 40 or 50 students... that is actually a lot in that city....She was more than a teacher to me.. a friend.... who was one of a kind... I still hesitate to go for music classes in Coimbatore. That's coz when i went to join in one of the classes it was more serious and no talking kind of affair... so it felt awkward at that moment after that i never set my footsteps there. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;Now coming to western music... that is English music.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;I started to listen to English music when i was in ninth grade. It was introduced by three of my friends Sharadha, Sandhya and Meenakshi...(all three in Delhi). After that i have never stopped. And for me The background music matters a lot... The Piano and the guitar are the instruments that i adore. The lyrics carry significance... but the funny part is that i tend to put the wrong words in the wrong place and the whole meaning of the song changes :D. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;I know probably some of you people would think that these English songs are total crap or something...probably few are but not all.... Few songs are just amazing to listen and when we will close our eyes we 'd just go into our own dreamworld... Music is probably the only sane thing happening in this insane world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;Will be back with a new post..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;For now.. Bye&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3717575949819928916-8423570542060523079?l=risingminds.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://risingminds.blogspot.com/feeds/8423570542060523079/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3717575949819928916&amp;postID=8423570542060523079' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717575949819928916/posts/default/8423570542060523079'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717575949819928916/posts/default/8423570542060523079'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://risingminds.blogspot.com/2007/06/s-r-g-m-p-d-n.html' title='S R G M P D N......'/><author><name>Nandini a.k.a shylu.....</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09271544697980918624</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_-eZPZnFMo1M/RmkUaon7IEI/AAAAAAAAAAM/2a58fWXEAxA/s72-c/BSB03.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717575949819928916.post-6594615736450919978</id><published>2007-06-07T03:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-16T08:12:33.556-07:00</updated><title type='text'>My first ever Scribblings</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;Hi people.. this is my first post.. so i'll start of with what i'm and what i was...&lt;br /&gt;I did my tenth grade in delhi and came to coimbatore and joined Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan... and ya ofcourse i felt that there was quite a bit of fluctuation due to the change of place and besides i aint a good starter too... so always make a very wrong impression on everyone.. anyways the last two years were the most absurd, weird on few occasions , wonderful, happy on few other.. and the most disgusting and irritating on few others...and obviously life gives a part of everything so we cant brood over that either. i managed to make quite a lotta friends at the end of 12th grade started getting comfortable with more people only by that time. But Now ... its like life's different.. or probably its just that i'm expecting it to be... who knows whats college life is like....But i'm missing school days.. especially my school days in Delhi where we all used to bunk classes together n do all other mischevious things which would irritate our teachers the most. The additional fact is that i would miss my friends in Delhi the most... Well we all are quite distant now... most of them being in north india...and me being in south... but still i have a feeling that tells me that many of them wud come here down south.. and anyway it is a fact... ' Distance may separate true friends but their hearts are very close'. one more thing about me thse days in the fact that it takes a long time for me to trust any person in this world. Ok ... In these holidays i have just been of to doing things like playing badminton, reading books. And ya every morning i have been playing cards with my friend amitha and cousin shiv ram(as my sister aparajitha goes for implant training and kavitha goes to school :D). (Generally in our famous apartment we five hang out together). There are quite a lotaa important people in my life right now...Parents and sister obviously...&lt;br /&gt;My sister is the person without whom probably i cant ever do anything properly... well we fight a lot.. thats always there in sisters. She is the most intelligent creature i have ever seen till now... she has loadsa patience which i lack and she's extremely kind by heart. I am a sort of person who gives family the most important preference.. we all are quite close... and friends.. many are there worth mentioning so i'll just introduce characters and give a full description of what they are whenever i mention a new one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So till then its bye from shylu....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3717575949819928916-6594615736450919978?l=risingminds.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://risingminds.blogspot.com/feeds/6594615736450919978/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3717575949819928916&amp;postID=6594615736450919978' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717575949819928916/posts/default/6594615736450919978'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717575949819928916/posts/default/6594615736450919978'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://risingminds.blogspot.com/2007/06/my-first-ever-scribblings.html' title='My first ever Scribblings'/><author><name>Nandini a.k.a shylu.....</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09271544697980918624</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry></feed>
