Mumbai terror attacks.. But Lets stay united!

I'm really shocked by the recent happennings in Mumbai, the attacks in various sites. I love India and it grieves me to think this has taken place in our country, always known for it's unity among people, peace and tolerance. 

I don't understand why those ppl are doing this.. what is the cause... religion? politics? ......

Are they fanatics with not an iota of human feel. What do they gain from shooting the innocent

ones who have never done any harm to them? What grudge do they have against them?

I think they have cut off the compassion chord from their brain for only then  can they behave like this. yes it seems to be just a shooting  game for them.

Before we used to watch such thrilling  scenes in the movies with our mouths wide open. Now it is a live show for you in your neighbourhood. Atleast even in the movies the villians had a clear cut motive to behave as they did. But now what is the motive in reality...it is a million dollar question.Will we get the correct answer soon?  What do they gain from putting their life in danger for they know they are sure to die.  Yes the correct motive must be found out to

try and avoid such incidents which are on the rise. Before once in a way even one news of someone being killed somewhere used to create waves of  horror but now such incidents have become common and i think most of us are coming to terms with it which is the most dangerous  thing that can happen. 

OH DEAR  WHOEVER AND WHEREVER YOU ARE WE ONLY PLEAD WITH YOU TO NOT TO PLAY WITH THE LIVES OF THE INNOCENT . What harm have they done to you.

People may call you brave and bold but i only feel you are COWARDS COWARDS COWARDS:

Bravery is coming out in the open with what you want, confronting the people whom you have

grudges against face to face and not stabbing at the back like this. You have gained only the CURSES of all HUMAN BEINGS all over the world by this gruesome act and nothing else.

Be it the Gita, Koran or Bible , no religion has preached such revengeful acts and so instigation if in the name of religion is unjustifiable!

But now after expressing my feelings I feel that this incident has made us more united than ever.

for from every nook and corner of the country people are condemning the incident and showing their sympathy Yes after all the basic character of our india can never change!

Concerts of Sanjay Subrahmanyan, my favourite!

Well, I managed to attend quite a few concerts recently, Yeah most of them Sanjay's.
The one at Krishna Ghana Sabha,
P.S.Senior,
Bala Vinayagar Temple, Warren Road
and Ya long back the concert in Ayyappan temple.

I wrote the song list n all but I totally don't have the mood to type it in!
Basically I miss out some of the songs in the concert cos I get a bit too involved in it and later I forget what they were!
Well but my favorite was the concert in Warren Road.
In the beginning I though I surely wont be able to sit through the whole concert cos I had a temperature. But then I just didn't want the concert to end. Just wanted it to go on and on and on.The Sindu Bairavi and the Bahudari piece were just enthralling. And the best was Maname Ganamum in Beemplas.

And the day of the P.S. Senior concert, I had a tough decision to make. I had tickets for this Hariharan concert and the same day, there was this Sanjay concert which I just cant miss!
And yeah I chose Sanjay's concert.
I still regret a bit nnot attending the Hariharan live programme but still I was really happy cos Sanjay as usual did not let down our expectations. And it was on Krishna Jayanti and my parents were damn pissed of for not bein there for the evening Pooja. But anyway I loved all the Krishna songs and it was really worth being there missing everything else but was expecting that he'll sing He Govinda, hmm but no..

Yeah I'll try putting up the song list of the next concert if I'm not this lazy.
Yeah I tried attending T.M.Krishna's concert in Narada Ghana Sabha , but no seats only, what to do!

Im waitin for Sanjay to come back from the U.S and give us more and more of his concerts.

Now I've to try doin atleast a bit of my homework or I'll be sent outta class as usual.
And that too tomorrow is Monday the D-Day ( Dhavani day), worst day in the week!
WAAAh, don wanna go to schooool!!

A change!

Heyy!!!
Well I haven't been active for quite a long time..
Umm.. I've kinda been busy with school work n all..
Well, I've changed my school now,for ma 11th std.
My new school is Besant Arundale, in Kalakshetra.

Oh my God! I miss A.M.M soo much!! All those lovely days we had together, those free periods without any teacher, the times we used to play truth or dare, the whole class.. Omg, It was soo much fun! All those lunch breaks when we used to hang out at the canteen. I used to wait each and everyday for 11:00 when the lunch break used to go.. Now,here, I dont even want lunch break to come. Its no fun at all! The way we used to kalaichufy Vasantha ma'am and she used to be so sportive. And then our luck the rain used to come every friday during the monsoon and the way we used to go " Toiillet Ma'am" and before she could reply, the whole class used to run out and get ourselves wet! Our culturals, track and field events, sports day, the after school games n all!! Omg so much so much fun!!! Miss my Gandhi house so much! The way we jumped when we won anything and all those tears we spilt when we lost, the shouting and jumping and running we did when we won the over-all shield. I dont even wanna recollect all those memories. It makes me go waaaahhh!!

Ok, Well, You may ask me, " Then why the hell did you change your school?"
I'll tell you!
You know I'm really interested in music right?
Dont tell me you dont!
Ya so There's this group in 11th in this school called Fine arts and it has music as the main subject in it..
Ok First you should understand this.
I dont like Commerce, I absolutely hate science!
And I want to do either Journalism or Music.
So I absolutely went goo goo when I saw this group.
The subjects are Music, Dance, Painting and History.
But I wanted neither painting nor History. So I took maths and computer with music and dance.
Ok I know Im bugging you now. But you better sit and read.
Well this school, as you know is in Kalakshetra and its totally beautiful, the atmosphere n all, we sit under the trees n sing in the thapovanam.So many animals!
Its like WOOOW!!
But then its completely different.
U donno wat it takes me to try and adjust to this school and the ppl n all!
But the thing is I like what Im doin and thats what I want.

But then people used to say and still go " Enna maa ni! you became school topper, and ur doing this! there is so much competition in the music field! You can do engineering, medicine!""
Pls ppl stop. I dont want you to control MY life!
Ok Im little very crazy now!!
So now this is what my life is all about!
I wont bug you any more
Signing off!
Catch ya all later!!

Still can't believe it!

Results Results!!
My X std. Board results came out on May 30th.. Ok I was not that tense n all but there were still a few butterflies in my stomach..
Questions seemed to pop up from nowhere at all!
* What if I fail?
* What if I have to sit for the exams again?
* What if my papers are lost?
But then it was time for the results and I was surprised to see that I had scored 473/500 mm almost 95%..
I was surprised to see that Vishaal who usually tops in everything had scored only 465..
Then I went over to school as we were expected to be there to check our mark-list and it was a long wait for the marks..
And then guess what!?! I topped my school!
I actually came school first!
Just can't believe it!
I hadn't put in any hard work at all except before the exams..
I was just care-free and didn't care to just touch my books throughout the year.
But then school first is just too much for me..
Yeah I guess I have brains and a bit of luck too :)
