Visit to the eye doctor….

A visit to the eye doctor is due when:
-> eyes feel as heavy as the universe..
-> you stare lachrymosely at the moitor and people around you think that you are reading a really senti e-mail…
-> you get a doubt whether things look 20% or 30% blurred…
-> you tell mom all these symptoms and she orders you to go to the doc immediately…

This happens to me once in 6 months.. And this time it was due to the contents mentioned in the previous post..! Yeah the lack of a good nights sleep due to stink…

Everytime I totally dread going to the eye doctor…
What if the Doctor says that I have power.. :((((
Oh no!!! Then me got to wear glasses and lenses are a burden and pain… No way!!

Me asking myself…
Me(Q):Do things looked blurred??
Me(A): Hmmm… I think so.. :( But no no.. I think its only because of strain…
Me(Q): Mom said that if you develop power you will have headaches along with it… Is my head aching?
Me(A): **Thinking really hard** Hmm.. I think the right side aches a bit… But that’s not too much I guess… But what if its power?? :O :(((( Oh no!! :(

At the docs place…
Doc does the general check with the torch…
Then asks me to read the alphabets on the wall..
The alphabets are generally pretty big… I guess that was to test whether the person is TOTALLY blind or not… ;)

Me: **with a real nervous sad face...** "Doctor… I don’t want to have power… :("
Doc: (she smiles): "Don’t worry.. We'll check it up…"

Then comes the computerized testing for checking power.. Which will DECIDE my fate! This is the worst part… But it brings out my religious best too…

This prayer I carry out every time I sit in front of this equipment…
"God.. Please… I know that I should take care of my eyes properly.. I promise I will eat carrots and papaya… I will surely eat healthy Vitamin rich food.. I will do eye exercises EVERYDAY from here on.. I will not watch too much TV.. Please let this machine spare me this time… I should not have power… :( Please…. Pleaaaaaaaaaaase!! :("

The worst wait is the two minute wait after the test, before the doc calls…
Me: "Doctor, do I have power? :("
Doc: "No you don’t… :) Jus a strain on the eye… Eye drops and rest would do… :)"

Wooooooow!!!!! Yahoooo!!! Celebration!! :D
Me: (YOU ARE THE BEST!!) "Thank you so much.!!!!!!!!! :D"
Doc: (smiles...) "You are welcome… "

Got back home...
Applying eye drops is another experience by itself….
You have the small bottle right on top of your eye… Your eyes forced open….Waiting for that dreaded drop to fall right inside… And your poor eyelids fluttering to save the eye from its attacker.. :D

First time I am scared… I can see the drop standing on the tip and waiting to fall, and my heart almost stops…The second time, when the drop is about to fall, I deliberately close my eyes at THAT moment and think "Hee hee.. See I fooled you" :D
Then deciding that I shudnt be doing this if I want my eyes to get ok.. I apply it fast so that the shock is only for a fraction of a second..
:)

And this time I have decided to follow all that my prayers say.. ;)
Lets c……

Those cursed seats!

I stare at the montior.. Waiting for it to happen….
Waiting for the magical number to appear….

At the end of it, I could have two different kinds of reactions…
1: "I am lucky!!!!!! I made it… Wowww!!! "
2: "Shit man! Why should it happen to me??? Why me??"

No… I am not describing a casino in Las Vegas…
Its much more important than that...

It’s when I wait for the reservation to happen after I try booking my ticket to chennai and back on the Indian Railways Website…. And wait for the seat number to appear.. :)
The most dreaded numbers 1-8 and 65-72

For those who have not yet figured it out..
In every coach, these form the compartments right next to the toilet !!!

If you happen to get an opportunity to take revenge on a big time enemy of yours get him a ticket in one of these seats and you would have done more damage than what you had imagined..

This time while returning from Chennai, I had this dreaded seat of 71.. Side lower berth… The stink started to make its presence felt in sometime… And I readily had something to cover my nose…
I tried to divert my mind to all the nice things in life…Consicously trying to avoid thoughts about the stink…I didnt want to puke.. when I was interrupted by a guy sitting opposite to me, who was this 'namma-ooru-annachi' types

Me: "TTR eppa varuvaar?" (When will the TT come?)
He: "I think he will be coming in half an hour.."

Me: (kind of taken aback by the response in English to my statement in Tamil...)
"Oh..ok.Will he change the seat if there are other cancellations?"
He: "Yeah .. I think yes.."

My hanky goes back to cover my nose… I am suffering….!!
He: "Have you read this book?" ( points to "Who moved my cheese" in his hand )

Me: "Yeah, I have.."
He: "What does this book say? What do you like about it?"

Me: ( thinking.. ) Don’t you think this is heights of cruelty? Me dying because of the fragrance
around and you are asking me to give a book review!!!!!!!!!!
Me: Its about adapting to change… But realize that its not that practical..
See.. You would have got much better berths in the train previously, and now if you get a stinking berth, then how the hell can you adapt to this change????… Not possible…

He: (Has a 'Business World' in his hand… ) "What do you think about the stock market boom now?"
Me: (thinking… ) Oh God...Why cant a bull or a bear pounce on me and devour me right here?
Me: "Sir, I am not able to talk in this stink.. So please excuse…"
He: "Oh.. Ok ok.. Sorry…"

Don’t know whether his nose had special gabbu filtering agents sprayed, that inspite of everyone reacting to it, he didn’t…

Me took out the body freshner spray from my bag.. Sprayed liberally at the back and front side of my palm, on my hanky too… and covered my face with the hanky and my palm.. "Necessity is the mother of invention" I thought... and tried to sleep…
And early morning, say 1 hour before the train reaches its destination, please ensure that you stay nowhere near those seats…. Please… for your good…

So friends...For those who have not been lucky enough to experience it...in case you land up with seats in the above mentioned range don’t bother losing 40-50 bucks and cancelling the ticket.. and booking another one.. Or get a 3rd AC ticket if travel is not so frequent…

Didn’t sleep the whole night… And came back home only to find that my street had Vinayaka procession related celebration…Fully lit with colour bulbs..and with jarring loudspeakers..! Screaming "We will rock you"! Uhuuhuh !?!?!?!?!
ROTFL….

Sans the stink, putting up with loudspeakers,… I had a good sleep for 3 hrs and reached office late…

Women Hurricanes..,

First it was Katrina…
Now it is Rita….
Was wondering as to why the names of hurricanes should be the names of women always….




Asked my friend-
Me: This is not fair.. Isnt it? Why should hurricanes of all things named only after women…
He: May be people have found similarities…Like the how destructive they are…

Me:How the hell are women destructive?
He: Hurricanes are destructive when it comes to land and property… Women generally are destructive to their partner's wallet…. ;)
Didn’t want to give him one of my feminist talks before getting some info on the topic...

Did some googling on it… And found a whole lot of facts about "Naming a Hurricane".. Strange..
It says that "short, distinctive" names are used for easier and quicker communication when compared to the cumbersome "lattitude-longitude" identification methods…
But you could also call it "Adam" or "Fred" or "Charles" right?
Comeon… What are the feminist organizations doing.. I thought? ;)

Then read, that the hurricane list throughout the 19th century and till 1979 had only womens' names… Then due to some protests.. They started using names of men and women alternately… :D
So we have "Boris", "Douglas" and "Simon" too… ;)

And since they ran out of names, they allocate 24 names per year and end up re-using the same name every 12 years..
Like humans, hurricanes also retire… A hurricane name retires and not to be used again if it has caused too much of havoc and the country affected requests the retirement of the name to facilitate historical references and insurance claim activities…

But only the "Women Hurricanes" make it to the news all the time…Reason being???
Are they more sensational? ;)
I know I am going to get interesting brickbats from all the "Men Hurricanes" out there who generally post their comments here… ;)
Well… pheel phree….

Killing Expedition....

My friend who is known to be affected by this 'excessive-indulgence-in-cleanliness' syndrome one day saw two tiny cockroaches running out of one of the cupboards, in our two bedroom house.. She gets frenzy and comes and complains..


She:"You know what??? I saw SO MANY cockroaches in the house… they were running here and there… everywhere…. I saw them come out of the cupboard too…Its high time we do something About this yaar.. "
And I go "Ah! There goes Anshul again.. :)"



Me: "I don’t think there are SO MANY cockroaches Anshul… I have not seen any of them.. Probably one.. That too a small one.."
She: "No yaar.. There are lots...There may be SO MANY more, you know… What will happen if there are SO MANY GENERATIONS of them??"
Me(thinking..): … They will establish their kingdom here and encroach our place….and throw us out…. :D

Me: "Ok…If there are many, as you think, then the next time we go to food world, we'll pick up a bottle of 'HIT' okie??"
She: "Okie…."
Then we get a BIG Mortein Spray which will kill cockroaches, spiders and all kinds of nauseating insects… ;)

Its saturday morning….
Both of us are ready for the mission….
She: "We'll take everything out of all the cupboards.. Keep it inside our rooms… And then spray… 'coz you may never know...those creatures might be hiding in the crevices…"
Me: "You mean take EVERYTHING OUT OF EVERY CUPBOARD??"
She: "Yeah..!"
Me: "Hmmm… ogay.. " ((thinking..) we might have to set the WHOLE damn house right after that…! )

We remove all the cupboard contents…Put them in our respective rooms…
She: "Shall we seal the space beween the door and the floor with papers so that the ENTIRE cockroach khandan will not come running into the rooms??"
Me(thinking...) .. Wait and watch whether we run or they run… :D
Deciding that the idea was too too much of precaution, we drop it…. ;)

Me: "I didn’t even see a single one when we emptied the cupboard..!"
She: "I know.. They are hiding.. They are running inside the gaps which may be there... "
Me: "Hmm.. Ok.."

We tie our scarves as masks and continue alternately spraying Mortein in the cupboards…She sprayed real EXCESSIVE quatity of Mortein in evey square cm of the cupboard, that at one point of time, I thought that the wooden cupboard and shelves by themselves would scream, detatch themselves and run out of the house!! :D

We finally happened to spot one small cockroach, and she went behind that poor thing spraying with HIGH PRESSURE and didn’t leave it till it died!!!

Me: "Hey, I guess we need to spray and leave it.. The cockroaches will automatically come out and die on their own… Its not like we have to go around as if we a re shooting them down with guns..."
She: "Is it?? Ok.. But when will they die..."
Me: "They will.. Eventually… Wait and watch.."

Unable to bear the stink of the house because of the spray, we were tieing our masks tighter and tighter….And after she finished almost the ENTIRE BOTTLE of Mortein… We decide to go out of the house for sometime, till it works…We got out and went to the terrace…

Me: (laughing) "You know what.. Even for a proper household with a lot of area, one bottle lasts for almost 2-3 months… and we managed to empty the whole thing in our chota house in one hour!! "
She: "Oh..ok.."

Me: " We shall SUE Mortein if we find anything less than 30 cockroaches… okies?? :) "
(**there better be lots, atleast for your good...** ;) the ENTIRE cupboard has to be set again!! Aaarrrrggghhh ")

She: "See.. We saw 2 small ones right..? There should have been 2 BIG ones which have produced these.. So we'll try to kill them also... :D"
Me: "Aaarrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhh" :)
She: "Ok… ok.. ;) "

We come down after half an hour and enter the house… We see JUST FIVE very small dead ones…!!!!!!!!!!!! Looked at her, giving a 'where-are-the generations' ?? 'wheres-the-kingdom' ?? Kind of looks… :D She became kind of guilty… Then..

Me: "Ok.. Now that there are not many, If we see one hereafter, we'll kill it with the broom..instead of emptying cupboards..Ok? :)"
She: "Okies :)"

Thus ended our expedition… And we had to light agarbathis everywhere in the house to take the stink away… :D

My buddy provides good blog material.. Doesn’t she... ;)

Happy Birthday Sush….

My sis celebrates her Birthday today… :) This post is dedicated to her...

I consider her as almost a kid sister as shes almost 6 years younger than me… and hence am always very protective about her, hence telling her whats good and whats not.. what to do and what not to do.. (whether she listens to me is a different story.. ;))

Before everything, let me tell you, I was the one who named her… :D **sounding victorious **

If you see us from a distance, conversing with each other, then it SURELY it means we are fighting… She is the only person who can irritate me in the whole world and make me shout and get angry… :D

We two are two of totally different kinds.. We are poles apart..

I am this studious kind who would go to any extent to work hard and perform... Shes this total bindaas kind who has to be lectured and grounded by parents, to study….



I dread to even enter the sports ground.. Shes an amazing athlete and wins the championship in almost every sport she participates in….

I am this one who likes to snuggle in bed with a book, in a quiet peaceful atmosphere…. Shes the one who loves to hear jarring music in unimaginably loud volume…

I am the one who is the height of obedience and never say anything other than "Yes, I will" to my parents… And shes the one who says -"Why the hell should I??" in the same situation…

I am the one who'll constantly look at the speedometer and conciously slow down if I happen to cross 30kmph.... Shes the one who can never go below 50kmph…

Sometimes I used to think that life would have been a bit more fun, if I could break the rules like her..

Shes is the fan of so many people, those whom I cant stand! Example.. Simbu… She and her friends were even seen with half a 'blade' tied as a pendant to their chain…! He is supposed to have set a 'trend' they say…Simply incorrigible…! :p

All the fights we've had for the remote when she will never budge from her POGO or nickelodeon.. I am this patient kind and she has a real bad temper! (like my dad sometimes..) How many times, I've pulled her leg saying -"Sush, I have ALL the good genes from dad and mom and you have ALL the bad ones.. ;) "

She'll wantedly do everything to irritate me, and say -"You know, I love to irritate you.. :D" She'll drive me to the border of insanity, the poor otherwise silent me…

For the last few months, since I have become an 'earning sis' , she considers me nothing less than a world bank to fund her.. :) I keep hearing "So you have your card with you right? :D" statement way too often... Though I want to buy much more stuff for her than what i've done till now...

When I was a kid, before sush was born, There was a boy by the name Arun, as my neighbour, who was my age.. He was such a pain and used to fight with me big time.. So I still remember that day when I stood in the pooja place and sincerely prayed to god that if I have a sibling, I want a sister and not an unruly brother… But always tell her that i should have asked for a vampire instead.. ;) or I should have declared all the conditions leaving no loopholes for God… ;)

Every part of it, even when we were fighting, has been real good fun.. Dont know what I would have done without her company.... shes amazingly sweet in a LOT of ways… :)

She doesn’t 'love' chocolates, chocolates which she gets during any of her friend's birthday, she'll directly bring it home to me, coz she knows I love them :)

When teachers in school used to the start the 'sibling comparison' saying that "Your sister was that good, and how come you have this totally non-serious attitude?" She used to come back home and tell that to me very proudly.. "You know, in front of the whole class, my teacher said that my sister was really good.." :) I used to smile back and say-"Sush, good that you feel this way, but the bottom line is you need to work harder… ok?"

Shall always remember every minute spent with sush, whether during war or peace… Not able to believe that she has entered the first year of engineering… Shes still a kid sister to me.. Though I have never told her openly as to how much I care for her and love her, I know that I always do.. And today, on her birthday, i wish she gets the best of everything year after year...

Sent her a gift , to reach her today… waiting for her response… :)

Adventures of the missing phone....

Scene 1:
One fine morning, a group of us go to one of the usual 'Sagar's in Bangalore to have breakfast…
I get a call, and after attending it, place my cellphone on the table, next to my plate…Then I am engrossed in thinking about my plans for the evening..We all leave together for office, and I leave my cell phone behind…

After 15 minutes, realization dawns that my phone is missing… I ask my friend to call my number from his mobile.. Some person picks up the phone and starts talking in kannada.. We don’t understand what he says…We give it to our driver, and he speaks to him… He finds out that the person is a milkman and he happened to get hold of the phone lying in the hotel, and he took it with him, so that he didn’t want anyone to steal it… He said he was standing near Wipro e-city gate.. And can be identified with a milk can in his cycle.. Highly relieved, we rushed to the spot, and there he was, the phone saving 'paalkaaran'.. :) Thanked him again and again profusely for his help…

My phone was given a second life….

Scene 2: ( 6 months later)
Boarded an auto.. Made him stop at the Citibank and the ICICI ATMs for few minutes… heavy traffic on the road.. Inspite of all this, the autowallah, quite an old man, never cribbed.. Everyminute of the journey, I was waiting for it to happen.. "Now hez gonna start cribbing :( now… now…" But it never happened… I was feeling guilty as to why he did not crib.. Had a peaceful trip to office.. So while getting down, I gave him five rupees more, as I felt like…

Reached office.. And after half hour, my friend calls at my desk phone…
He: "Wheres your phone?"
Me: "In my bag!"(I open my bag and search hurriedly...)
"Oh no! not there!"
He: "Yeah.. Knew that.. Some guy picked up the phone and started talking something in kannada…Hey, ask one of your colleagues, who know kannada to speak to him and find out what hez saying…"
Me: "Ohk.."

My colleague speaks to him.. The guy happens to be the owner of a beeda shop.. He says that the auto driver, who belongs to the auto stand near his shop gave it to him as he did not know how to operate, and inform the person who calls the mobile first…He gave the address of the shop…
We rush to the place…

Shop guy: "The auto driver asked me to keep this safe and as he wanted only the rightful owner to take it, He said that the phone had to be handed over only after he has seen the person.."
We were moved by the extent to which he ensured safety…
Shop Guy: "He has gone for a trip now… Will be back during lunch time.. I will call you and tell you then.. As it is not right on my part to hand it over, sir.."

So we left my colleagues number with him and left.. We get a call around noon, saying that he has come… We went there…The auto driver smiled giving a 'here-is-the-rightful-owner' kind of look... Showered thanks to the autowallah and the shop guy...
We also handed over a fifty rupee note as a small gratitude for his help...

Came back only to hear from other colleagues that they have hardly heard such a case of getting the phone back after it was misplaced…!

Hmmm... Nice people in this world still exist…. :) Feels good…
Got lucky twice…. Don’t want to have a third adventure and hence will be extra careful….

Yipppeee! TV at home....

Finally, a goodbye to boredom! Have been waiting for this day for quite a long time..
How many days can you go freak out with friends, after a tired day, squandering your money? How many days can you spend without listening to the news on NDTV? How many days can you spend without seeing Agassi or Schumi on TV? How long can you keep missing all our India matches and Formula1.... And how can you stay without making a mockery of the atrociously hosted shows with their themes on TV... The wait is over! Got an LG Flatron Golden eye at home yesterday... ! :)
The process of checking out various models and deciding, that by itself will provide content for one full post But coming back to my TV...



I simply love it! Amazing clarity..Go it delivered yesterday, hoping to see the agassi match.. But it turned out to be a total fiasco as I ended up watching our very own Doordashan! No prizes for guessing.. the cable connection which was there was not activated and the cablewalla is supposed to come today....
Well.. till yesterday, never ever had the patience to even stop by Doordarshan for more than a span of 30 seconds... But new TV... :( Nothing else to watch.. :( So ensured and convinced myself that the programmes WILL be interesting... Comeon..things gotta be interesting..Doordarshan could have improved itself..

Settled in front of the TV.. with my cushions, packets of haldirams and maaza.. to get a 'Gold Class' PVR cinema hall effect... :D
The first one was a tele film.. Expected atleast SOMETHING which will keep me entertained... Sat through the one full hour tele film with a lot of patience.. It was nothing short of ABSOLUTE TORTURE! Not even a SINGLE SOUL in it, could act! Especially the lady who played the main role.. Even if someone went and told her in real life that her husband was in real danger, they cant bring out ONE BIT of emotion from her !!! Then imagine how she would have fared in all the scenes in reel life!
She was suppposed to be a dancer in this, but she would weigh something more than a hundred kilograms easily.. Why the hell do they not pick people for the roles which suit them,i thought... And during all her 'supposed to be' dance programs, they cleverly focussed on just the feet of the dancer.. Obviously, they cannot make her dance..! ATROCIOUS acting.. And am sure that they would have flicked some classical dance clip from some National Integration programme of theirs... :D <>

And her father in law in the film, who was supposed to be a musician, acted as if he was playing he chords in the harmonium.. That was even more atrocious, as during a real slow tune being played in the backround, he hits the chords with whole lot of pace and vigour!
And they even kept focussing this unpardonable thing for almost 5 whole minutes, He was supposed to be really disturbed and was focussing on his music to get back to normal state... But God knows how many people got a stroke on seeing this nonsense...
Finally sailed through successfully and there came the names of the people in the crew.. And 'that' lady, turned out to be the director of the telefilm! NO WONDER! ;)

The channel has not changed a bit, leave alone a byte... Before i even settled down to watch the next programme which was titled 'Cinema Dil Se' which had a three people on a talk show, the anchor, a social activist and a psychatrist discussing about how alcohol is portrayed in Indian Cinema and its evil effects... It defied the borders of boredom i should say...

And finally i told myself.."Well.. you better not mind the trouble of getting your cushions back to your room...Guess thats a better option than watching ultimate crap just because you have bought a new TV... The wait is only till tomorrow evening.." :) Saying thus, I hit the bed...
Well.. now.. jus a few more hours to go... :D

Well.. thats me! :)

Time to take tests!!

Happened to come across this particular website which offers 'accessories' for blogs…
Real funny experience I should say.. In case you find it funny, you could even add some of
these scripts in your blog… but me giving disclaimer for introducing this to you.. ;)

These 1 minute quizzes are stricly for timepass.. I saw the list of quizzes and first decided to
go for the 'What does the letters in your name indicate' test….


Entered my name 'Sudha' this is what it gave...
Sappy Unique Delicate Hardworking Artistic

Basically a set of adjectives which were selected at random and displayed…
When I kept refreshing it with the same name.. It even threw words like Slippery for the 'S'
and Deadly for the 'D'… ;)
Since I am really attached to my name 'Sudha Narayanan' and being parama vetti, I tried
it out with that too… The program ran short of adjectives starting wid 'A' and it displayed
'Amazing' 'Amazing' for most of the A's in my name.. :D
Made me grin at the monitor and decided to take more such silly tests…

The next one which looked interesting was the 'Who were you in your past life' test…
You enter your profession and you get to know some random stuff.. This is what I got..

You were: A ditzy cannibal :-O
Where you lived: Quebec
How you died: Consumption ( Did I consume someone and die or did it get eaten up by fellow cannibals??!?!!?!?!?! )
Strange!!

There was one test by name 'Who is your daddy'.. ;) Total wierdo!!!
Enter your dad's name: …. I enter….
Your Daddy is Arnold Schwarzenegger!!!!
You call him : Papi
You love him because: His your muck dad!
And I go.. What the HELL!!!!!!!!!!!

Unable to control my laughter at the craziness of things happening… I go on…

Then comes the 'Wacky Fortune cookie generator'
Only one question asked "Are you feeling lucky Y/N"
I say yes… and the fortune generated is "Man who jump off cliff, jump to conclusion"
Hmm… feeling very lucky and motivated… thank you!..

For my name, the result of the "French name generator" was Cyprien Fleury
and the "Hawaiian name generator" which sounded more interesting, produced
Kalika Lokelani
Wow!!! :D

Other crazy tests include
"Whats your seduction style"
"Outrageous name generator"
"What rejected crayon are you"
"Were you naughty or nice this year"

And if you still remain sane after taking these tests and find them impressive, you could go ahead and add them in your blogs.. Have seen a few blogs with the "Seduction Style" link though… ;)
