oru kutti post

I felt happy for Him and Her .. Finally they said "yes" to each other..

change...

"you have changed".. my father said.. " you don't speak much... no dramatic stuff...no insecurities.. but still the same core... the same power in the eyes... I love the change..."

"i know ..." ..

it felt like ... a raymonds ad... the complete Man....

Dad.. thanks for spotting the change ... I learnt it .. painfully -- yes... But the change will last for a life time...

I said - part 1..

In the interview panel: " what is the difference between tam movies and mallu movies ?"

What I said: "One is extremely colorful, dramatic, passionate, out of world.. other is realistic and grounded to earth.. Both reflect their respective cultures.. "

what I didn't say.. " one reflects my love.. other reflects her expectations :P " ...

In hindsight I started appreciating both.. :) ...
----------
Right now ... I can't wait to start my career ..

I utter a prayer .. For I can't control the fury within me... For I have waited so long for this opportunity.. For this is the beginning.. For a long beautiful road... For the massacre of lesser mortals...

" Let the Lord shower his mercy on the lesser mortals....
...
Amen."

Friend...

Received a mail today from a Friend of mine during IIT days ...
--------

How are you?

Just wanted to say hi to u. Long time since we spoke.

"Even though we've changed and we're all busy finding our own place in the world, we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we'll come to each other because no matter where this world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not at all still friends just because we are not keeping in touch."

I read the above thing on net somewhere and I donno y..........u came to my mind.

Mail me how u r n whatz happening in ur life when u r free.

love
S...

Friendship is like a rain.. Enjoy that as long as it lasts..
I could never relate to the above sentence three years ago.. But I can relate to that now..
Sometimes you wish the rain lasts for ever,along with a sunshine and a rainbow...

-Just like chettan, Farhan in France
-Just like kaadu
-just like him at Munich
-just like so many other people in my life
-just like an unknown girl .. ahem... ahem.. :P

My crush :P

I am not...

I am not a Jesus Christ who would carry others' sins...
I am not responsible for your actions...
I backpack with you until you reach your destination...
and you reached your destination two years back.. I had other travel plans in my itinerary..

you are free to imagine that
my destination is not reachable;
I am the sinner;
I am responsible for your actions;
I missed you;


I am a narcotic
who would help you feel better by speaking your mind;
by telling you the words you want to hear;

(this post was written after I thought that I put too much pressure on myself by writing the previous post... )

p.s: This post DOES NOT apply to my friends...

confessions...

Forgive me for whatever Happened two-three years ago..

She reminds me the vulnerability of women..
she reminds me the doggedness of women..

I repent for whatever I did to a pure, innocent soul two years back...
Amen...

P.S. A mail which I got today bled my heart and reminded me of my sins...

early morning at Jampot

(For a change this post will resemble a mail to my close friend)

Time: 5.00 A.M
just didn't feel like sleeping.
working on a case now. seems like a crackable one.

yeah thats it..

the mail ends now :P ... ( so many changes in life and I don't feel like telling
anyone about them !!!! ... )

song which I m listening now : "aathangara" by A.R. Rahman

P.S: I am thinking about “that” (at this moment) and I realise that it was my fault :). But what the heck!! I need not apologize for anything in my life :P

Barcelona ..

The news that Kaadu will be doing his MBA at Oxford brings me so much happiness that I forgot what I want to blog :)
Anyways the news puts us back in the track .. the track where Men do great things.. they were destined to do and no one can change "that" destiny.

For the first time in this euro trip, I found that I didn't have enough money to buy what I wanted to buy for my friend(nee thaanda ...The anon guy ).
Foot Ball club Barcelona - The official shop sold everything in a premium and I managed one teddy bear with FCB logo for him...
I need to earn and earn a lot ..
------------
Met an interesting Norwegian guy who backpacks Europe by carrying his own tent and stove. He ripped apart my beliefs and I got to go back and check my premises.
In 30 minutes, he bought me three cups of coffee and told his life story.
Atleast I know what I do not want in life..

-------------
Gaudi , Las ramblas, Barcelonata, avant garde musicians and above all LIFE -- thats Barcelona in short.

Paris, Lyon, Venice, Milan, Florence, Munich, Vienna, Barcelona, Stockholm, Helsinki, Berlin and above all Amsterdam... This backpacker has seen it all...

The party is over and home beckons.... I do feel sad
I want to come back to Europe for I don't have anything back home. I "feel" that..

Lech ..Lecher.. Lechest.. :)

Damn hot girls ...

the chinese girl whom I met in Bus
the italian girl from Turin
the Belgian girl in Supply chain course
the african girl in Milan Metro
the ENS girl who plays basketball

and ofcourse every French girl is hot.

One stupid stereotype I had was that Indian girls are the prettiest...

But as I said all stupid things must come to an end :)

Will I ever get leching opportunity like this ? Sigh.........

p.s. The Belgian girl is "extra" hot :)... Hmmm...

Romance - Part 1

Girls are dumb. They can't speak about this topic.

Backpacker, what is your view on this topic ?

No Ma'am, I wont speak until she speaks.

I looked into her eyes as I said the above sentence.

Da, you just killed me by defending me.

I know that… Can’t you see the crush in my eyes?

She did see… after 10 years…

I will speak about this topic...

She looked at me and her eyes said that she will speak for me and not for the entire class….

I know that …

Thus started his Standard 8th crush.

miss this kiss..

For the past two weeks, either I never saw a couple kissing each other or I had become oblivious to it :P

I wondered whether such miracles were possible in France where every moment you see guys and girls kissing each other.

Needless to say that I started missing it.

This is France, the most romantic country in the world and I couldn't believe that people have stopped kissing each other suddenly.

But at the top of Eiffel tower my prayers were answered.

The Seine or the lights of Paris were not as beautiful as the romance at the top of Eiffel tower and my CREATIVE ZEN Mp3 player was playing MLTR - Someday.....
