My new companions

Another weekend gone. And here i am posting on a Monday. Finally,i got rid of 'Clear and Present danger'...which i have been reading for 2 weeks. I have started reading Jeffrey Archer's 'As the crow flies' at a brisk pace. This the third book i am reading of the author after 'Not a penny more,not a penny less' and 'Shall we tell the President'.I,once had a great deal of passion for reading fiction,which diminished in these hols. That may be because of the fact that i was reading less-interesting novels like 'The inheritance of loss' and this Tom Clancy book. I am not suggesting that they were bad...but i felt there was less story in them and more description...which just doesn't suit me. However,these books would generate a great deal of interest for those who aspire to write of their own.Now i feel i have regained my passion towards books.

This weekend is special...i got a new mobile for me after months of waiting. It is a Moto V3. I have already got used to it...but the slight disappointment is that it has very less memory space and also i cannot add an external memory card. But i am very much happy with its other features.

25th July,2007...

9:00 am...
A faint light passed through to reach my pupil...i didn't realise what i was looking at. My eyes closed again...then i heard a voice shouting..."Vinodh....Vinodh.....i'm leaving...bye". I hadn't opened my eyes yet...i decided not to do so as the call for me was not-so-significant. The gravity acted upon my muscles, pulling on the line of my mouth,dragging on my cheek as if i was dead....but i was still asleep................

10:30 am....
I opened my eyes to the fullest now...quickly turned around to look at the clock...the two hands of the clock were displaced by 120 degrees...the time was 10:30 in the morning...slowly i kept my feet on the floor and stepped out of the room and into the "You-know-where". As i brushed my teeth..i remembered that i was supposed to have a hair-cut that day...but i decided against it as i thought it was too late. (I usually leave for that by 9). I realised what had happened earlier that day. My father had been trying to wake me up as he left to work. But all he could manage was open my eyelids for a second.
Then how did i know the time?? Well...this is my daily ritual..i know when my dad leaves to office.
I came to the hall to see my grandfather still reading the newspaper (rather examining..)...went into the kitchen and picked up my mug which had cold coffee. I began to heat it...i like it hot..as does anyone else. My mother used to do these stuff...but now she wasn't there...she has gone to visit my sister living in the United kingdom.
My sister is a pregnant and is expected to become a mom anytime now...it might even be today...i am eagerly waiting to hear good news. With my cup of coffee in hand..i scooped up the newspaper in my other hand(Grandpa was reading the supplement..Metroplus) and walked back into my room...and switched on the computer.

12 noon...
I was still in front of the computer with my orkut homepage looking at me...i usually don't have any breakfast..its early lunch over here. So i went to the dining hall to have lunch...switched on the TV..and i ate as i watched Mtv. It was 1 when the program got over...and i hopped back to sit in front of the computer.

2 pm...
It started boring for me..i decided that it was time for my bath..had it immediately..and again came back to the old place. I began reading 'Calvin and Hobbes'..(I have the entire newspaper editions of it from 1985-95) which had been stored in my PC. Time flew...

4 pm...
It was time to go out and play football...so i started pedalling my way to the ground..it was 4:15 by then..no one had come yet...so i went to my friend's house which was nearby(apparently..his name was also Vinod). There i saw most of the guys sitting and watching 'Mr.Bean'...i joined them...Then we left to play @ 5. Unusually not many people had come to play...so we were just kicking the ball around..shooting at the goal-keeper. Time flew...It was 6:45...i started on my way back home.

7 pm...
I reached home by 7...decided it was high time that i watered the plants in my garden..did so. I was hungry after i finished the job..quickly decided that i had to eat something...went to a nearby fast-food centre and had 'Pav-bhaji'. I came back home...and logged on again..i was beginning to get bored of the Cyber-world..

9 pm...
My dad had returned at about 8...he had hot 'samosas' waiting for him. Then...i switched on the TV again..started watching a movie called 'The Net' which was telecast on HBO...it was 11:15 when it ended. Meanwhile..i had logged on again during breaks..and had had my dinner at around 10:30...at 11..my father went to bed. I wanted to do the same...but i couldn't even think of it...there was no sign of me sleeping yet.

11:30 pm...
I continued reading 'Clear and present danger' by Tom clancy...i have been doing this for the past week (i skipped reading it for 2 days when it was time for 'Harry potter and the Deathly Hallows')...it was a half hour past midnight when i finally went to bed.

I and ME

I have been existing in this world for the past 17 years and nothing can be compared to the beautiful life that i live. I feel that the world acknowledges my existence without my appeal. But fortunately or unfortunately,my journey so far has been quite uneventful,but nevertheless i dont regret that fact. I live in Chennai,which according to me,is the best place to live on Earth...i will let you know whether there is a better place when i visit Mars.I was born on the 6th of August 1990..exactly 45 years after the bombings on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. Atleast,there is some history,good or bad,associated with my birthdate. I am now ready to step into college life...ready to cherish another 4 years.I am no good at art or at poems...so dont expect those stuff here. Why did i decide to blog? Well,according to a study,we speak to ourselves 99% of the time ,when we are conscious. If we put those thoughts to paper, all of us would be writing a 1,600 page novel per day. It is not to tell you that i wanted to blog after i learnt that fact,the thought was with me for a long while and it was just a matter of time. Somehow,Blogging also gives me pleasure in the fact that i own a miniscule part of the web!(weird thought..i know).

I finished my 12th board exams at the end of March,07..and the State government's move to mess up with the admission process has resulted in a 5 month holiday for me. So,as you can easily guess..i have been kinda jobless for the past few months (i was about to say 'days'..but 'months' is more precise)and hence expect more posts from me in the coming days.
