My Triolet,
Well, after a long time "Im Back"!!
This time, i have something solid to blog on!! The title to this post might not be very apt... It wasnt actually a melody!! It was actually a fusion of rock, hip-hop and hard work by the members of Youth Red Cross!!! I wanted to be a part of the organizing committee and through Rhythm '08, i could achieve that :) :) In fact all my friends Neeraj, Vishvam, Pradeep, Gautham, Navaneethan and Saravana had very important roles to play!!
1 week of hard work and sleepless nights ( i mean it!) did prove to be worthy!! The visit to NMB at 4.30 AM was a sooper experience!! Made friends with a lot of seniors... Work combined with fun is exactly how the entire preparation went on!!
The cine remix that was planned to be showcased was one disappointment!! They refused to play it on screen!! But as far as the remix is concerned, it is the best ever!! Kudos to the entire team for their effort!!
The final 2 days were very hectic!! Stage set up work.... write ups....Flash presentations... Other minor preparations etc etc ....
Now, i could actually say that i have driven across the avanashi road stretch at all hours possible!! I went back home at 5.00 in the morning the day before the show!! Entire nights work was absolutely tiring!!
hmmm... And this time i did something that i never expected!! I framed the Tag line for Rhythm...
Rhythm '08.... Service for Eternal Glory
And i also framed the lines to be printed on the T shirt ( limited edition) :P.... And the lines are...
I sit in front of the screen at exactly 10.14 (+5.30 GMT) to put down some of the recent happenings!! Munbe va, the ever melodious song is what i chose to play at the moment...
hmmm...Let me see... The past few days have made me realize my ignorance on a few aspects of life that are important...And by important i mean those that are important to me!! Ignorance is definitely not bliss.... Its just being foolish!! Im happy that i am out of it currently!! Not entirely but to some extent!! :) "My period of temporary insanity is over." I quote Sharanyans words....
Ok now moving on to Kriya 08!! Wow..Wow...Wow . Frankly speaking i did not expect so many people to turn out!! But they did... And 3 days of rollicking fun!! Wished i was an organizer or an event co-coordinator of some sort!! Anyways, i could at least take a lil pride on the fact that i could MC for the Inauguration...
Root Kriya, turned out to be a stupendous event!! Kudos to the Team!!
I missed out on the Spot trading event that i wished to participate. Did not participate in any event actually!! I just turned out to be a volunteer( partly though)
Neeraj and Vishvam do a lot of work indeed!! Kudos for their efforts in their own fields...
I wish i had better health during the 3 days!! :(
The lecture by Jimmy Wales was one part that i did not wish to miss!! Unfortunately i could only attend half of the session....Liked his opinion about the search results of Google and Yahoo!!
Had Espresso after the Jimmy Wales session!! Tasted like nothing...Cant explain!! Cos it dint have sugar in it!! But so very wanted to taste it!! Turned out to be good for my headache!!
Kriya 08, Success raised to the power of Infinity.... Another Kudos to the entire team!!
Waiting for Renaissance 08 and Rhythms 08!!

Now, first the past.... The pongal holidays are over!!
As i usually say, time has indeed opted for the express way!! Everything is so very fast. And the holidays were fun too... Had a get together with my school friends which was sooper fun! 2 days and 2 get togethers!! first one with my friends who joined me in the 11th and the second with those who were present before the 10th standard!! Memoirs 08!!
Now, you might be wondering that the title of this post doesn't match the content!! Of course it doesn't... Now comes the relevant content!!
For those who are familiar with Discovery Traveling and Living, "A Matter Of Taste" is not unfamiliar!! And it is definitely not complete without Vir Sanghvi...
The actual name of the program is " A Matter Of Taste With Vir Sanghvi". I love watching this program...Specially cos of this most charismatic journalist!
The way he describes food is just so very heavenly!! Even the way he says the word Rice makes you wonder what speciality it has!! Words indeed express a lot of things...But when it comes to taste, words do not do much good!! But thats not true with this guy.... He has his own style...A style that makes your mouth water, eventhough its just a rice plate that he is describing!!
The entire program is packaged so beautifully....
Unhealthy is just a single word... " Make an appointment with the cardio therapist" adds some more masala to it!! Thats Vir Sanghvi for you!!
Thats it about this foody guy!! And, Morrow its the birthday of a Capricorn boy!! And i wish him a very happy birthday!!
Signing off,
Phoenix...
The year 2007 has come to an end!!
A very eventful year indeed!!!
hmmm... Im in a hurry now, to scribble a long post!! Leaving to Manglore today...
Gonna celebrate this New Year in Train....
I Hope the next year ll be better in all ways to everyone....
Happy New Year to all :) :) :)

Please don expect this post to be very romantic and sweet!! This is not a warning... Just a precaution!
Ok...And i also believe that interfering in ones personal self ain't that good!! So i ll just make this as soft and gentle as possible!!!
Cast: Boy, Girl , Friends...
One line: Boy meets girls... They fall in love....
Perspective: The boy's friend's view....(No spoilers)
The story unwinds...
The smart boy was sitting in his class. The friend enters the class. Its just the 2nd day of college and so they just say a HI with a smile. A hi follows a few inquiries about their school and the place they come from. Days pass by. They become friends. A group of 6 friends in total. Life becomes happy. Movies...Chats...Comments...Outings!!
The boy is intelligent...As usual, all heroes in a story are intelligent! They have to be, to become heroes!! Ok, now thats enough of hero hero stuff!! Half the year is complete and life for the group of friends is just as usual. But no one realized that there was a small turning point in the boys life at that moment. Yes, the boy meets the girl....
Now, please don come to an assumption that there was an immediate BOOM...Who knows...There might have been one!! Anyways,the girl is introduced to the boy through another friend. So indeed the boy and girl become friends. The stay so, as far as the friends knew! There came the boys birthday. And what he received was a chocolate!! Guess from whom?? ok, you are right!! And that chocolate he neither ate nor gave it to his friends to eat!! Poor friends, they might have been very hungry!!
More chocolates!! One friend wondered from where, all these came from!! He, being innocent couldnt figure that out!! He wanted one of the chocolates that he found in the boys bag, but the boy refused to budge. He wondered where this would end up in....
On a fine chill day, the boy reveals to one of his friends about the BOOM. Yeah, it had already happened!! And that conversation was a secret!! Obviously none of the other friends knew about it!! And now this news spreads from one friend to the other. A few don believe. They actually din realize that the same boy, the boy who was calm, the boy who was quite and the boy who had a very appavi look on his face could have fallen in LOVE.
The boy and girl accept!! Accept what?? You must know that by now!!! And what follows?? Naturally the TREAT!! The first of its kind for the gang!
And the rest was just magic...Continuing and ever lasting!!
Moving towards.... "They both lived happily ever after!!!"
