SWAYAMVAR

Of late, My Mother has been worried and also active! Now, when does anyone get affected with the mentioned symptoms? Is it some sort of stress disorder? Some Allopathy side effects? Some Homeopathic  bullshit? Menopause? Wait! Maybe, it's the Venkatachalapathy effect!

Well! That wasn't the case! 

She's been on the hunt for some girls! 

I was shaken! 

"Amma? I am off to Hyderabad only! It's not 'bad', ok!! Rombo over ah illa??"

Now, she was shocked!

"I am not searching for you Eruma Madu! Chi Kalambu!"

Now I was disappointed. 

Cha! WTK?

You don't want your parents to fiddle around with your personal life! It's just not cool. But, when you find out that they aren't actually bothered about it, you get the creeps! You begin to wonder....


A slap on the face! My intellect intervened! Life's is not always about you! So, just shut up and analyse!


So I did! Many of my relatives did not get alliances! To be exact, 3 of them are above 30! In India, if you are above 30 and single, it's literally a pain in the ass. These 'righteous' men chose not to flout the 'society norms'. Well either they were really unlucky, and would not have gotten anywhere, irrespective of the ethics behind it. Or, maybe an epiphany awaits them! Either way, it's a misery! A misery, which would haunt them for the rest of their lives! 

I obviously would have a biased opinion on my uncles. But, what does the world want? Usually, when the elders look for the alliance, they'd look at many relevant and important factors! 

Unfortunately, today, to some of our brothers and sisters, what's important is:

1. Astrological Match (It's apparently still relevant today)
2. Bank Account Balance of the Groom.
3. Job Security
4. An Individual House
5. Looks

I am not generalizing anything! The above points are peculiar yet special cases! It would definitely, one day, become general cases! The future is indeed gloom. 

So, am I worried about myself? Did I make any mistakes by not finding my soul mate in school or college? 

Well, I still have 4 months of my college life left! :P :P Maybe, I should find someone.

Or, Maybe, I should let the 'norms' take the course! But, the problem is, 'Maybe'

Will We win the Swayamvar? 

Let the battle begin. 


Where's My Sita?

    @Gopikaa Ramanan -> The match will happen, when it has to! No worries there! It's just weird that I actually did not want to sound 'needy', but, everyone construed it that way! :)

    Nevertheless, another learning curve!

No Tea, only Chaos

Cult following is something that only the adherent can understand!  One such person I admire is Preeti Shenoy!  Here's the link to her blog! http://justamotheroftwo.blogspot.in Here is the banner for her latest work! You can preorder it at flipcart! Anyways, here is this Tuesday's Meme! "The table is set perfectly, for 'tea for two'. (and the piece of cake is ready too).  I am really looking forward to this. There is still a good half an hour left for my guest to arrive as per the  text  I just got. Suddenly the door bell rings....... Has she come already? Damn! What an artifice! Once in a blue moon do I clean my house, and the Gods didn't like it one bit! So I thought. ' This is not what we expect from you my child. You are expected to be surrounded by filth'  Well, sooner she found out my chaos, the better I thought. Hesitatingly, I rushed to the door! Well, it was some random guy. 'T...

WELCOME QUARK “Blogging is useless!” is what a dear friend told me when I mentioned about my NEXT big thing. Well, I beg to disagree. I’d say, Blogging is ‘used less’ and not useless . So, what made me start today? Maybe it is the date -> 11/11/11. It’s probably lucky and even if it is not, let’s see what chaos theory has to give. Or maybe it is because I have to write one of the most prestigious exams tomorrow for an admission into the IIMs. I became apprehensive and thus blogging became the antibiotic! Whatever be the case, even if Judgement Day is tomorrow, I’d never forget this moment.  2:33pm, 11 th November 2011. Cheers Ramki

Early Days in CEG

08/08/08 - Very Auspicious Indeed. Go ask the numerologists. The Beijing Olympics had begun. Well, that didn't matter much to me. The onset of awesomeness had taken its course. Those were the days when the conversations would be like: A:  Hi. What's your cutoff? B: 199. :( :(. Nee? A: That's all? Sad dude.  :P :P B: You? A: 200 B: Must be ECE, definitely! A: Yes. I am so happy. ('We should ask him now the same question :P') Getting into ECE was/is/will be like getting a ticket for a Justin Bieber concert. Just like the latter, it is getting out of it, that matters. I recall the first day, leaving my house at 7 am, for some lab. I get into the bus and hand over a    50(Those days, the conductors would literally pound you for this. Now, if you have change, you get smashed!). So I reach college by 7 30, and still I am one of the last ones to get there. I see uptight looks on people. I mean, it is the first class for heaven's sake! I w...
