What is great in calling a spade a spade, say something metaphoric so that people rack their brains before they understand that you are talking about a spade.

I start to learn French

>> Friday, May 7, 2010

Hey!! that was from yesterday. I love literature and I like learning about various cultures world over and across the nation. I missed on an opportunity to learn Tamil while I was in Chennai, and now I wonder how I have missed this chance.
So why French all of a sudden now. It isn't a bolt from the blue. In the initial learning program of TCS in Bhubaneswar, I missed by a whisker to sit in the French class. All the students whose batch number was even went on to learn french and all the odds sat in the Japanese class. I wanted to learn French and in all my Japanese classes brooded over the lost opportunity. Needless to say, my Japanese did not go beyond the word "kenchikuka" - which I believe means thief or is it a policeman? You never know and I will not go and google for it anyway. So that's how it began. Then in Chennai, sometime during mid last year, I saw a board " learn french" in nungambakkam and alighted the train. I went over and inquired various details. Though the course content was interesting, I dropped the plans as it was to far to travel from place of my work.
Over to Bangalore, I register at BBC online classes and start to say Monsiuer and madame. Thanks to my organization I have got a laptop to do that. It has just began, let us see if I can post in French one day.

Au Revoir amies !!!

How it feels to be lonely?

>> Thursday, May 6, 2010

Away from home and away from friends how it feels to be? You would expect a soothing song to lull you to sleep. After the best part of the song plays by, you spring back awake wondering how you could catch sleep. You chose the next song and the next and every song meets with the same fate, the mobile suffers in your hand. As if to convey it cannot take more, the mobile hangs and you are forced to turn it off and on again. You take a look at the time and it is too late to call anybody. You call your girl friend. She picks up the call after 10 rings, half asleep, says "hello" and slips back into sleep.Then what do you do? I don't know what you would do but I resolve to take revenge on my mobile for I own it and it does not have any constitutional rights.But again my pocket does not give the liberty of a phone a day. Now, I will tell you how I caught sleep yesterday, the day before and every day for the past 1 1/2 weeks. I get tired of thinking, I get tired of trying to get used to the present and at last nostalgia swells in my tired eyes to burden them even more. My eye lids fight this weight but give in finally to cover my eyes. The next morning I try to force these lids open they ask for an excuse to stay shut and I am late to office.
