Radio & me

As far as i know, my tongue has to be my strongest muscle. More so becoz right now i earn a living out of it. As anything else, my radio experiance didnt have a smooth start. Cat aspirations left aside('aside' might not be mistaken for neglect!)radio is what I chose be with, for the time being! See it from my eyes, it looks like the best place 2 be right now(i mean i ont want to die an RJ!).

As i look at it, radio is a challenge for me, coz of many reasons..

1.I dont have a conventionally sweet voice.
2.I am not funny & cant even crack a joke properly.
3.My music sense is nearly neglegent.
4.I cant make jokes...instead i make a joker out of myself!!
So I never thought that sounds would fascinate me like it does! Today when i mix sounds to make tiny peices of music for my Jockeying, i feel like I'm Picasso reincarnated! The feeling is overwhelming...almost like finding your long lost siblings who you just found & want to keep meeting(I dare not compare them to a 'newfound love' coz too many of them is a pain...u know where!!).
But this feeling of elation is strictly restricted to me. Moreover it's incomprehendable to most of the people who matter to me. Thats exactly where the pitfall of entering radio from television lies. It's not that i didn't like television, but teevision is far less creatively challenging for a Jockey than in radio.
But people do vouch more on the glamour part! My mother is happy as long as she gets to see her daughter in the television or in a B-school(something i havnt given up!).
Whatever...life keeps going on! Now this...later that. Probaby next year this time I might be thinking of something else that 'll hammer my head then! But this life that is....is so cool in so many unassuming ways!!

Change: the only constant

Every other person comes about an age when they find that life is full of right & left turns. You already know that it dosn't have a hair-pin curve! There have been a lot of people who bring you to that point of realization. You reach an age when you realize that you've grown up! You are no kid any longer! I've met a ot of people who helped me reach there. This blog would be entirely dedicated to those who changed the way i look @ life, positevely. I spare the rest a mention...just becoz they dont deserve one.
Now, who can forget the parents!! My dad is THE best!! & i am totally incapable of proving it 2 any1 right now. I will always respect him for the kind of man he was, & will love him for being the bestest dad! Let me take this oppertunity to stress that he's best i've met till date! Same goes for my mom. Now this i can back with proof. Which other mom pokes her nose into all your affairs, yet thinks like an 18 yr old at times & a 20 yr old the rest of the times?! Which other mom trusts you to an extend that she finds it amusing that you are capable of flirting?! If u find a mom like mine...trust me...u R lucky!!
I've also got couple of xtremely good friends!! My friends list has always been male-dominated!! My 1st mention goes to the guy who made me look at a whole new side of life. He taught me that it's ok to say sorry & it dosnt hurt to admit your mistakes. From him I learnt that you probably wont get everything you wanted. But if u looked closely enough, what you have, would actually be what you always wanted! I could never thank destiny more for letting us meet!
Speaking about destiny letting people meet & moving on, here come the next set of people. There is this guy, a senior from school, who is right now doing his MBA(something he always wanted 2 do!) who broght me to a place on earth where I would have the best days of my life(after my childhood), called UniY. Now his guy also taught me that its possible to like & trust some1 inspite of the fact that they dont trust you like you do.He also changed my like by causing me to meet 2 of the awesomest men i've come across.
These 2 have been the best of friends ive come across. They taught me that only the best maintain the capabilities of being the worst. We loved our company. Yet it didnt stand the test of time, bcoz of factors which as mentioned earlier deserve no mention. They taught me that all promises cant be kept, mainly bcoz they all cant be remembered. They also taught me that as times moves on, so do people. Yet, there is a part of you somewhere beneath that wants everything to come back & take that hairpin curve.
Then there are these people. No matter how long you have been apart, you can still catch up from where you left.This category is a ladies only category!! There this female who showed me that no matter how long you stay apart....some relatonships never change!! Ours is a long 15 yrs long friendship still going strong(touch wood!!). Then there is this other female who taught me that it dosnt matter if u dont share joys. What matters is whether you r there when the other is in disstress! My gossip partner, my stress buster & lovely chum, i love calling 'Rocket'!!& then there is this guy who i jokingly call a 'Liar' just bcoz he is a Lawyer in the making(the kind am sure, will reach places no matter how long he takes!). This guy taught me to act so that u dont regret losing people who really mattered to you, just bcoz your ego didn't let you to talk it out. Though this particular guy in question hates me for reasons unknown to me.....he does deserve a mention here!! Mr. Lawyer..if you are reading this...it mattered a hell lot that we met! There is yet another female who the 'liar'(the name is in good spirits & get this straight... he has never lied to me!) hates just the way he hates me. But this girl..she's a darling!! I sometimes wonder, if I had a sis, she would be like her. We call ourselves 'Matter' & 'Anti-matter'!! Knowing her assures me that am not the only weird female around. Thank u Anti-matter!!
Sure these are not the only one who matter. But sure are the reals ones worth a mention. Life would have been a lot different but for them. & that too in a not so good way. All i ask is...for them to stay! They change or not...i dont give a damn. But it sure matters if they stay.

It came as a revelation.

It just hit me had that i have a pretty good blog @ hand & i havnt been doing much with it. so here goes. am gonna write about wat i enjoy doing nowadays. so...the few people who do read my blog, hold ur breath for wat u r about 2 read abt!!

THE NEWSPAPER TURNED FRIEND!

Catering 2 my friend's blog & many other friends' advice..... i hav started reading the newspaper lately! I hav been procastinating the start since long. But suddenly it occurs 2 me.."if not now..NEVER!" So i started reading the newspaper on 26th of october! I start with the Edoitorial! Believe me...it's a herculian task!!! It fetched me about 4 hours of xtra sleep. & thank god I didnt take up the challenge of reading it in the morning! Well..if i had..i wouldn't hav gone 2 college that day! The words u find in there ring no bells in ur head. The ideas bounce off ur head!Suddenly u start realizing that there is so much more than ur regular chats, the blogs, ur daily soaps & gossips going around u! It gets gotta ur hand & u can b witnessed staring at the newspaper 4 hours!Suddenly u realize that u hav been boycotting all the chats & conferences which if not 4 the newspaper u would hav been enjoying!But then u r held bac by the charm of knowing 'wats going around u'! & 2 hang on 2 ur new found hobby u try 2 remember ur faithful friend's words..."u'll regret ur not following the newspaper after a year 4rm now!"These words keep ringing in ur head.....& u dont want it 2 happen 2 u!So now...i've given into readng the newspaper regularly. & I'm almost accustomed with it. Now i realize that i would hav postponed this start 4 ever if i wanted 2!& i would like 2take this oppertunity 2 thank my ever so faithful friends who urged me into my new found hobby .....THANK YOU..GUYS! & now...4 those who havn't taken up newspaper reading as a hobby..........believe me guys........"If not now....NEVER!"

The Rocket Story!

2day i'd like 2 blog about my friend Rocket!. She's a gr8 person 2 b with. i've known her for about....(hmm... let's c)...6 years! long time naa..! well.. we wern't the best of friends since day 1. thats coz i take time 2 trust people & i'm quite choosy when it comes 2 friends. but once i've trusted them it's never say "good-bye" kid of a relationship! so, lets get back 2 my Rocket..! ( sssh..it's a top secret..but thats her nickname!) The first time i met her was when i was in my 8th std. We just used 2 smile 2 each other...a "hi-bye" sort of a relationship.As i said i take time 2 make friends & i didn't have any friends in particular & was't in a mental state as 2 make new friends & hav a blast! the only interaction v had was during our lunch breaks when v used 2 share our lunch.
Then v had an excursion 4rm school the next yrs. v went 2 Palode botanical garden & thenmala!this was in my 9th std. & at palode clumsy me had a gr8 fall & sprained my ankle badly. i thought," ok! so thats the end of my excursion!". our next destination was terrainous & there was no way i could climb all that with the sprain! now........here comes the twist in the story & my heroine enters! My sweet Rocket gives me her shoulder & helps me throughout the journey! Thenmala is a sort of place where u cant balance urself! & thats when my sweet heart friends walks around balancing me! Thats when i realized how priceless she is 2 me! Now the villain enters in our story in the form of my birthday! the very year i call many of my friends on a treat 2 my house.& guess wat! My rocket not only fails to turn up, but also fails 2 inform me that she 's not going 2 turn up!! the angry supporting actress dosn't want 2 talk 2 the heroine again! But the heroine apolagizes very sweetly after which the supporting actress has 2 give in & the friendship is saved! thankz 2 the heroine!
Now 4 a long time there r no clases between the heroine & the supporting actress. But again the villain enters in the form of the movie Kabhi Alvida Naa Kahana! The suporting actress had told the heroine that they'd go 2gether 2 watch the movie & due 2 some very lame( that's the supporting actress's version!) excuses the heroine calls it off! Again the supporting actress is angry! But the heroine saves the friendship again!
Again within a months time the supporting actress calls the heroine 2 her college 4 'Onam Celebrations'. again the heroine calls it off at the last moment. the supporting actress is both angry & sad! she thinks that her friend no longer cares 4 her & she has more important people in her life!This time the heroine calls the supporting actress but things don't mend up! she feels really hurt!The heroine sends the supporting actress an Onam wish but it's not returned! After all...she's hurt! But then she wants 2 make it up! She dosn't want this 2 b the climax of the story!
& thats why she writes this blog! I hope my sweet ol' rocket reads this & apologizes 4 cancelling her plans at the last moment! (he..he.....ok.....i did apologize 4 being such a jerk & getting angry so soon!)

wat a week it was!!

when it comes 2 a week... lets begin with sunday! i was going 4 an NSS Leadership camp on monday & hence was quite excited!(little did i kno..thats it was going 2 turn out a disaster!) lots of packing & stuff...just 2 travel till Adoor. it was a 2hr journey. my companion & fellow NSSian didn't turn up at the bus stand on the D-day! & i had 2 start alone. but she did catch up with me at Kottarakkara.(wat would i hav done otherwise!!) then v entered the camp. all day classes & stuff....was ok....but that was not my exact idea abt a 'camp'! well the camp started on 28th & had 2 last till 30th. now... since the camp was not that interesting..& i wouldn't wish 2 miss such a 'wonderful' camp 4 the Onam Celebrations at college.....i decided to get off the camp by a little 'stratergic' planning! my fellow NSSian & myself went trough some 'stratergic planning & careful implementation of our plans' 2 get out of the camp! so i was back at TVM on 29th at 7 o'clock. went 2 my mom's office & helped them with their 'attapookalam' competition! i was dead tired by 30st morning when we had Onam celebrations at my college! enjoyed the Onam there too....! (well..can't say enjoyed as such...but it was better than the camp!) then by 31st my mom & myself left 2 ernakulam! a big confusion & 'collabration' at ernakulam! then came back on 2nd of september at 11:30a.m. then we had an 'Official alumni' meeting of my schoolmates! this was at 12:00..that i say coz thats when i reached there! all others had been waiting since 11:00a.m! then after i left 2 the gr8 'UNI Y' with absolutely no idea abt wat 2 do abt the model parliement..... but thankz 2 Mash,Varun & last but not the least..Abhi 4 all the help & support...i didn't 'bomb' at the session!!after all ths hectic schedule....Abhi's treat came in as a wonderous breeze......a chilly parotta & coffee & 'arul jyothi'!!!!!!!!!!
