Chennai Times

noreply@blogger.com (Trinaa) — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 10:32:00 +0000

So i changed my blog template out of sheer boredom in the Quark Express class and my previous post disappeared. :(

Technology still eludes me. And so does the will to learn it. :P

Ps: will be back to blogging with a vengeance from monday. Keep your blogs updated. Adios. :D

SENSELESS POSTS AND ME..

noreply@blogger.com (Trinaa) — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 11:05:00 +0000

Yes. I know. I'm the worst kind of absentee blogger possible. I come, crib, cry and then disappear. I've said nothing substantial since my brain cells died this summer and even this post is not going to give you much. Except for those who live in Chennai. For them I have a question : HOW DO YOU LIVE IN THIS HEAT??

As if the new city, the new language and the godforsaken food wasn't enough. :(

A Lil Bit Of This..And That

noreply@blogger.com (Trinaa) — Wed, 13 May 2009 02:24:00 +0000

No pee-palings. I'm still not back to blogging. I just can't seem to translate my thoughts into words. :(

By the way, my exams got over. I shall be a graduate by next month. Hopefully.
As of now I'm superbly jobless. *dammit*

Jobless and bored. And also a little dyslexic. Hence the absolute paucity of my comments on your blogs. Do forgive and forget. Will come back with a bang soon. I hope. Bbye for now.. Tc :)

Ps: Check out my nephew sleeping.. :P

HMMMMM....

noreply@blogger.com (Trinaa) — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 11:26:00 +0000

I'm back. But I'm still not blogging. Try not to cry about it.

Heylo..it's Urv Again!!

noreply@blogger.com (Trinaa) — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 13:50:00 +0000

This post is in reference to the previous post on this blog.

A research states that people are attentive during a speech/lecture/presentation only 1/3rd of the time. I guess the same applies to blog posts. Well, almost.

First things first. The last post on this blog was not written by Trinaa. Tinni and I had both done the tag posts and swapped them while publishing. So tinni's post was on my blog and my post was on her blog. This clarification was mentioned at the bottom of the post (Well, I actually wanted to mention this in the Comments section but thank heavens we didn't do that :P)

Of course, this created a lot of confusion for the readers. Some were amused as to why tinni had changed her name to a 3 letter word with some random letters. It left some wondering as to why our tinni who is madly in love with pretty boy Ranbir and expressionless John was suddenly after the gorgeous Katrina and super talented Priyanka :P

Some devoted readers who went through the pain of reading the post that spanned across 1200 words were fortunate to leave the blog in a state of enlightenment. Others who ran out of patience or were scared by the length of the post were not so lucky. And this was by no means a shortcoming on the part of the reader. Its a realllly long post people! To be honest, I myself did not read tinni's entire post on my blog * sssshhh. This secret is just between us ;) *

So basically, those who did not realise that the previous post was not by tinni did not read her post on my blog here. Well, tinni has not taken this in the best of spirits. And I have been at the receiving end of it :( Abuses, swear words, rotten tomatoes, stinking eggs, chappals and what not has been hurled at me! I will be really obliged if you can take out some time and comment on her post on my blog. If you don't have enough time to read the entire post and comment, I have a solution for that too. Here are some sample comment options:

Ha ha ha

He he he

:) :) :)

:D :D :D

You can also throw in a few adjectives here and there.. Please feel free to mail me for other such ideas ;)

Please do something about my situation before its too late. coz I have come to know that she has been coercing our common friends to go ahead and poison me!!

HELP. Bachao ae haseeno ;)

Him N Her

noreply@blogger.com (Trinaa) — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 13:38:00 +0000

"If I make the stars shine just for you tonight
Would you hitch a ride on their back to meet me?"

She rolled the pen over and over in her hands. She was stuck. Coffee, tea, fresh air.. nothing helped. Anger pricked her. What was wrong? She had been writing since she was six. Had her creativity run out?

Had her... memories run out?

The last thought brought tears into her eyes. NO! her mind screamed. He may have left her but his memories were never going to fade. They would live with her as long as she was alive. As long as... and after that. His memories were ingrained in her soul and it is said that souls never die right?

But even as she tried to convince herself she realized that she couldn’t see his image as clearly as before. Couldn’t hear his voice in her ears... the drunken singing... the whispered goodnights... the sweet nothings. All gone!

"So everybody was right and I was wrong... death does do us apart. "

EGAAAADS!

noreply@blogger.com (Trinaa) — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 02:42:00 +0000

The year before last a frog family graced us with their presence. Now a frog is considered auspicious, especially before diwali (why? I don’t know). Since my family has known me for a long time, they very wisely kept their mouths shut about the whole guests-in-the-house thing. So there was me roaming around acting like my usual untamed self when I saw something zooming around in the balcony.

Me: oh my gaaaaaawd! Mum..we have something flying around in the house!
Mum: *very innocently* Ufff now you’re scared of birds too?
Me: it’s not a bird!! Its kinda pink in colour..and is zooming around very fast.
Mum: *ignoring* ye diya bahar rakh ke aao.
Me: aren’t you listening?? There is something in the balcony!!! *this in a tone bordering on hysteria*
Mum: diya rakh ke aao.
Me: *grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*

I took the diya and was walking towards the front door when I saw him! Pink-(eeeeeeeks)-shelled, round eyed and looooooooooong legs.

Me: AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!

Mum came running into the drawing room, realized what was wrong and went... *in a tone generally used to soothe scared kids* “darne wala kya baat hai? Bahut shubh hota hai frog. Dekho..kahan kuch kar raha hai. Ek kone mein chup chap baitha hai.”

Me: :-o

As if taking offense at her tone too ‘pinky’ jumped a few paces.

Me:AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!
Mum: TINNI!! A frog in the house, that too before diwali is very auspicious. Pranam karo.
Me: *eyes round, jaws on the floor*
Mum: karo!
Me: *pulling my jaws back up after a lot of effort* KYA???
Mum: pranam karo frog ko.

The frog, bored of our conversation decided to stretch his legs at this point.

Me: *crying by now* all of you are mad! I’m going into my room. And I’m going to stay there till this thing goes away.

Brother: *finally breaking his maun vrat* ‘this’ thing?? Oh..you mean ‘these’ things don’t you? There are 5 members in this lil guy’s family... and all of them are travelling with him. *insert evil grin*
Me: *soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooob*

I think it’s in fashion to torture me. Everybody seems to be doing it. The goddamn frog family stayed with us for a long time. In fact they still come visiting every now and then. Jokes about ‘pinky’ being my prince charming have become old and everybody has become well acquainted with ‘the pinkies’ but my deep rooted, heart-felt abhorrence towards frogs continues. Sigh! It’s a frogs life people... it's a frogs life. :(

LOVE IS IT?

noreply@blogger.com (Trinaa) — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 01:36:00 +0000

B:"I love you"

G:"Why?"

B:"Huunnnh?"

G:"I asked why?"

B:"Well, because you are sweet, caring and beautiful and when I'm with you I feel as if the rest of the world doesn't matter."

.
.
.
.
Brilliant answer.

But my silly mind needs to ask a question. So what happens when she becomes old, cranky and wrinkled?

Do you love someone because of their looks? Their skin is superficial..it isn't the real them..what lies underneath is! If i were to peel that gorgeous skin off your beloved would you still love him/her??
Or do you love them because they make you feel 'special' and cared for? So if he/she were to get Alzheimers and refuse to recognize you would you still love them as before or think of another 'option'?

I think when you love someone the last thing you'll be able to do, is explain why or give reasons for it. What do you think???

PS: I'm allergic to stereotyped, hypocritical answers. So kindly stick to what you REALLY think.

I think those novels and fairy tales i read while growing up gave me a wrong notion of love. In fact real world has no place for people like me.

NARCISSISM!!

noreply@blogger.com (Trinaa) — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 11:33:00 +0000

1.My name is T-R-I-N-A-A. Get the spelling right. Learn it up if you have to. If that’s too difficult then try TINNI. Don’t mix and match from elsewhere.

2.I’m a grown up adult of 21. It’s just that my body is in denial.

3.My family and friends are my lifelines. Can’t live without either.

4.I sing 24*7. Sometimes aloud but mostly in my mind.

5.Ignoring me or leaving me stranded without reasons and explanations is not a good idea. I don’t ask for second chances and neither do I give them.

6.I make faces at strangers when I’m bored.

7.Laughter is the best medicine. But not when your professor is teaching Freudian theories. This is experience talking.

8.Unlike what some people think, I’m not heartless. It’s just that I refuse to go on with something that I know will bring pain to everyone in the long run.

9.Dancing is in my veins. It’s not something I have control over. Oh and to hell with who’s watching. :D

10.I refuse to cry noiselessly at nights again. In other words I refuse to fall for anyone again.

11.I love dedicating posts. Simple Life still exists because it has so many dedications :)

12.Two of my friends got married last year. I envy their wardrobe.

13.The ‘superego’ is the most predominant psychic zone in me. ‘Id’ surfaces at times but ‘ego’ comes calling sooner or later.

14.I’m known as ‘proxy-Tinni’ in college. I have averaged 2-3 proxies per class per day for the past 3 years. My highest is 7 proxies in a class. Yes. That particular prof is DUMB beyond belief.

15.I love reading novels. I want to write a book someday.

16.I come from a HUGE Bihari kayastha family filled with Punjabis, Bengalis, Brahmins and Gujaratis. Love is always in the air here! :P

17.I’m scared shit of escalators. They make me feel nauseated.

18.I love hugging people. I also love getting hugged. :)

19.I always pretend to listen during lectures. The professors rightly doubt my sincerity.

20.The only thing I learnt in kindergarten and still remember to do is holding hands while walking.

21.I love Ranbir Kapoor. And I don’t care if you people are tired of hearing about it!

22.Nobody can take my smile away from me. And I won’t let anybody do that to my friends either.

23.I have often been accused of writing superficial posts. Well! Newsflash: all my posts are intelligent. You just failed to see beyond the humour zombie!

24.Anger lasts for 10 minutes. Seriousness for 5. (I’m talking about my own unique mental abilities here :P )

25.I’m mad…I’m impulsive…I’m rude…I’m illogical. I’m thoughtful…I’m caring…I’m endearing…I’m positive. I’m considerate and kind. I’m untamed and spontaneous.
Kindly deal with it!

NeNe tagged me with this one and since it had so much scope for talking I took it up. :P
I tag all those whose blogs are lying vella.

VEGETABLE LOVE!!

noreply@blogger.com (Trinaa) — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 14:56:00 +0000

Wisps of love escape my heart
bits and pieces of warmth profound
execution; intention all clear in mind
but the highway; direction
check posted with doubts

I'm a cauldron of emotions; a
laboratory of confusion
home, to abstractions; to reasons in rhymes
a lady, a woman, a child, an infant
the visage of simpleness in sophisticated times

In this greenhouse of sensations
my vegetable love has grown
unconditional, colourful, passionate; yet postponed
simmering, watching, waiting to be poured

Make Life A Celebration...

noreply@blogger.com (Trinaa) — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 11:12:00 +0000

Life has run out of patience
Patience has run out of time
Living like the dead is no
longer an option
Arise! Awake!
There is still a little time

Stop postponing laughter
Beware of subduing smiles
Life is not just about
counting your days
but about making those days
count!

You can either live for an occasion,
a reason,
an incentive
to breathe
or you can breathe and see occasions
turn into
reasons and incentives
to Live!

MY VALENTINES....
