Whats Popping ?

In the days lost, so many things've happened. So many things changed. So much good. So little bad. Its time i record what popped when i was gone.

Start pop.

Popping #1:
- Broadband.
After almost half a score years later. The internet hath finally arrived at my house. Ever since it came, the knowledge burst has become two fold. I've learnt so many new things, relearned so many old things that i was doing wrong. Found new ways to do thing. The internet is indeed a wonderful place if one knows where to look for what and where not to look for what. Its like my dad said

What is man's best invention ?

- Computers and the Internet

and what is man's worst invention ?

- Computers and the Internet

Popping #2:
- The Guitar
The sweet sound of the plectrum against the string of the guitar has always captured me in its melody. Be it Metallica with "nothing else matters" or Iron Maiden with "Fear of the dark" or Plain white Ts with "Hey there delilah" or even Moldy Peaches with "Anyone else but you". The voice of the guitar singing in its D's and E's and the C#'s is something that i've always loved. So i decided to join classes and i got my own guitar.

I call her Akane. It means the shining sun in Japanese.

Update: I stopped playing akane and going to class :( too much of strain from college. When this is all done, i want to give my undivided attention to her :D

Popping #3:
- The thing i had been waiting for over 4 years now.
When i was a kid, my dad showed me this instrument. He said "son, this can capture life as we see it and it is the only thing that can trap memories in its purest form." I didnt understand what he meant back then because lets face it - Iwasakid. But then, years passed, my love for it grew and i begun to understand his words. "trap" memories in its purest form. To illustrate, lemme give you a simple example:

Assume you are happily married and you have a kid - The CUTEST little thing on the planet is crawling around the house playing with its toys and building blocks and suddenly, it grabs a surface, pulls itself up and starts walking, one step at a time. At this point of time i ask you a question:

Would you think you'd more cherish a video of her taking her first steps ?

or.

Would you cherish more, a black and white photo of her, laughing, one leg in the air and the struggle visible ?

This is the question i've always asked myself. And my answer -Always the latter.
And my dad, he gave me something that i will cherish for the rest of my life: A Dslr ! Canon EOS 450D AKA the Rebel Xsi. Thanks dad.

The Clarity, the Depth of field, the sharpness is all unmatched.
Thanks again dad. She's beautiful!

You can find me on flickr at this link. Please feel free to follow me and leave your comments!

Update: i think i'm gona caller her Eksi !

Popping #4:
- \m/
Sennheiser HD 201

Sennheiser MX 160

Simply said: Sexy. Sweet. Loud. I Love it!

Popping #5:
- qwerty (Soap dabba, some call it)
Ever since i remember, i was obsessed with with the computer. I still have a picture of me sitting on my dad's lap randomly hitting at the keyboard. Well, what can i say ? A born geek ? xD And i still remember,  my dad trying to teach me touch typing with all the "asdfgf ;lkjhj" but i refused to learn. For me, i like doing things on my own and once in a while, i do enjoy reinveting the wheel. So i started my own method of touch typing :P well, its just fingers randomly placed on Lshift + W + E + F (left hand) and Enter + O + P + K + Space (right hand). Hah who cares :P

I got a qwerty phone ! :D Woo !
Samsung corby txt ! :D

End Pop.

As far as i know, i guess thats what's been popping till date. If there are any pops, i'll sure update :P

Peace out for now ^^ \/

Sashi buri ne

For ages i havent looked towards you.
For ages i havent bothered about you.
For ages i havent been busy elsewhere.
For ages i left you behind.
For ages i was lazy.
For ages i saw you but acted like i didnt care.
For ages i felt bad but burried it deep in me.

And now i'm back.

For ages i've loved writing
For ages i've loved my comp
For ages i've loved sharing
For ages i've loved talking

All i needed was motivation and inspiration.

I need inspiration , not just another negotiation.
All i want to do is find a way back into love.
I cant make it thro without a way back into love.
And if i open my heart to you, i'm hoping you'll show me what to do.
And if you help me to start again, you know that i'll be there for you in the end

I've missed this
I've missed sitting and wondering what to write
I've missed thinking about the best way to write a sentence
I've missed knowing that someone out there might actually bother to read my blog.
I've missed something really important and i've forgotten why i even started this blog off - To store my memories, so that 10 years down the line i want to look back at this blog.

I've just got i thing to say

"Sorry"

Tribute to a Friendiot !

Hey. Hi. Honestly, i dont know why i started writing this, i dont know what to write, but for an idiot like you .. i just felt like this would be the perfect gift.

So — Happyie Boithday you ! :)

Let me start off from when we started off.

Shit! I wish i remembered the date. The date when we started talking back at school. I really wish i did. Honestly .. i didnt know then that i would be writing this for you. Gosh!

But wait, i have a comeback .. i do remember when we started getting close. :D Yay !

It was the 14th of January 2009. I still remember me dwindling on 10 Rs which i had saved up to surprise you and you telling me that you didnt have time to talk but we ended up talking till 12:45 :P Idiot.

From then on, in 1 year down the line — 14th Jan 2010 , I dont regret having saved up that 10 Bucks, i dont regret talking to you for those 45 minutes, i dont regret pausing a game that i was playing then, i dont regret anything that comes to you .. Because i just enjoyed every moment that i spent with you , be it over the phone or in person (which i realize is really less :P)

And dont be an idiot and think that you have to repay me and all, cause honestly you dont have to. Thats what friends are for. If you STILL want to, then i'll just ask you for 1 thing - I am pretty sure that down the line i will make some stoopid mistake and i just ask of you to forgib that mistake that i make because i'm sure that i didnt mean to hurt you .. i would never mean to do that. So now that thats settled , lets move on :D

Hi ! :D

God, i'm starting all over again aren't i :P Well, i did warn you that i had nothing in my mind to begin with :P

I can just completely tell you all that you are in 1 word — "An idiot" , oh well, that is 2 words but technically an article isnt counted as a word (right?) :P An idiot is who you are.

"You thought you could handle this world single handedly - idiot.

You thought that you didnt need anyone's love - idiot.

You thought that no one could read you - Bigger idiot.

You thought you could lay down and stare into the skies all by yourself - idiot.

You thought that the sky was the most beautifulest thing - idiot."

See what i mean ? Idiot is the perfect word for you da :) And well, it does suit me too ^__^ We're like the Friendiots ( Friends + Idiots )

A couple of months back , Meow and i were talking and she asked me who are the 10 most important people to me in this world .. On 13th January 2009, you honestly werent there.. But ever since then , you idiot have been competeing heavily for the top spot :P

I really dont know how to express this da, but to this day, i've felt this sort of a connection with very less people. Somehow , just seeing 1 message from you saying "Oi idiot !" or "Hey dear!" just bursts my :| into a :) in like a few seconds :D Well, i guess thats how friendiots are ey :D

Am i bugging you da ? o.O I really didnt plan this out , so i'm just writing what comes to my heart ..

Something in me just tells me that we'll be friends for a really long time, oh i'm sorry — Friendiots for a long long time :D Dont ask me why .. Dont ask me how .. But something just tells me. I just hope i'm not wrong .. Because honestly i dont know what i'd do without you idiot. You has become like a very important part of me life now .. Speaking in your terms , like my "scapula", which is if i'm right, the shoulder blade thingie :)

Take care and just be yourself da .. Thats more than enough :) Dont try to be someone cause people ask you to.. Be who you were meant to be.. Be the one that you want to be..

Just be..

"Abinaya"

Love you loads idiot.

Hope we stay friendiots forever and ever.

Happy Birthday abizu.

1 Egg, 2 Best Friends - Part 2.

The Caption tells the remaining story i believe. Part 2 is about the 2nd part of the Egg, about the person who probably is a few seconds/Mins younger to Pree - Her twin and my Friend - Aarthi. All i knew about her was that she was Pree's sister and we actually never spoke much about her at all. I was actually waiting to see Aarthi cause i have never seen twins before and i was so totally excited :D :D

Lets Fast forward to the 20th of May(Right?) when Aarthi landed in Chennai, 1 or 2 days later Pree introduced me to Aarthi and we went to our usual "place" to have our "conference" and then i noticed something in her - She was the kinda person who doesn't speak until spoken to. She as i thought was a very reserved person who Chooses her friends - To be precise hand picks them and initially, let me be frank, i was scared cause there is absolutely nothing special in me for her to choose me as her friend. But then i wanted to take a chance cause with her too. I felt that same spark that i felt on the night i met the 1st part of the Egg. I wanted to believe that we would go somewhere. That i could tell her someday - Hey, i'm sure i can trust a part of myself in your hands. And that day wasn't too far from the day i met her :) We started talking and getting to know each other and i was the usual me - Cracking total Mokkai jokes and being Shrayas, and Aarthi was slowly coming down to equilibrium because she'd been hurt bad by a certain someone and she couldn't bring herself to trust anyone. I dont blame her at all. It was His fault. !@^#!^*.

As time passed on, Rt (as i call her) and i became closer. We got to know each other better and i could see so much of a change in her. She got more accustomed to my presence and she began acknowledging me. Rt, also a crazy How i Met Your Mother fan, which incidentally earned her the name baRTney is a very very sweet person to be around with. She does take some time to getting used to but when you get to know her, people will realize how much of a nice person she is. The best thing i like about her is that she's herself and doesnt want to be anyone else. As the case with Pree, there is one night with baRTney that i cant forget - That night we chatted remember ? :) :) that was the day when we began connecting.

Now i can say what i wanted to - "I'm sure i can trust a part of myself in your hands." Rt, you are a great person who deserves to be respected and who deserves to be treated the way she is supposed to be treated re. Dont let anything blind your Judgment yaar. If you are having problems, you know that i'm here to help you with your decisions right ? I promise to be there till the very end of time and to always stroll beside you and be at your reach whenever you want me, and before i forget - One more thing - You can always expect from me Rt, i will promise to stand up to those expectations till God allows me to. I might make some mistakes though, like the one i did, but i will now give up. Believe in me and i will prove to you that i can be the best of your friend.

ps: I'm sorry Rt, I promise you if you give me another chance, it wont ever ever happen again.

Know that i'm always there for you baRTney as your wingman :D

Love ya yaar !

Frands forever :D :D

1 Egg, 2 Best Friends - Part 1.

I still remember that day when i met Preethi. It was sometime in the night say around 7:30 ~ 8:00 ish and she walked towards us wearing i think a black/white stiped tee and said - 'Hi' and smiled :) Then, Just then i knew that there was that somethin in her that'd push us a long way in time. Pree, as i now call her, and i started hanging out a lot from then on. We have these 'Conferences' and we got to knowing each other better. I will always remember that night when we spoke i guess from 12:30 to about 3:00 in the morning. I told my whole story and so did she. We began to trust in each other. We began to believe in each other. We began our journey not as friends, but something more than that - We were on our path towards Best Friends. Pree is totally a one of a kind person and she's probably one of my most cherished people. I know that if i have a problem, i can call her (i hope she attends it though) and i'm even more sure that if i need some comforting, She's there for me. To lend a shoulder and to tell me everything's going to be ok. She's there to make me laugh with her super mokkai's and with her stories about thaiyr saadham (psst you know right.) She's there to get lost with me considering that the two of us have an absolute ZERO sense of direction. Theres only 1 thing that pops into anybody's head when they talk about pree - She's a BURST of happyness and Joy. Wherever she goes, she makes it a point that she leaves everybody happy and with a smile. Even if it is going to cost her her own smile.

There is one small thing that i want to tell Pree today - Dont ever ever ever think of yourself as someone who is at a lower level to that of another person yaar, cause you've done things that many people wouldn't even want to do. You're a person who can stand her ground. And dont worry, if you can't just look to your side and we'll be there for you Pree, throughout your life yaar. Cause what we share is something that can't be measured. Something that can't be compared. Something that can't end until time does so itself. It is something that in a word i can say is - 'Eternal'

ps: I'm sorry Pree (i bet she knows why) it wont happen ever again yaar. This was pending for such a long time. I just thought i'd finish it up today and show you how much you mean to me pree :D

Love you Yaar.

Frands Forever re :D
