DEEPAVALI
Monday, October 27, 2008
Well the festival of lights or Deepavali as we know it has arrived
There is even an interesting legend behind this festival. The story goes that Narakasura, a demon, ruled the kingdom of Pradyoshapuram. Under his rule, the villagers suffered a lot of hardship as the demon tortured the people and kidnapped the women to be imprisoned in his palace. Seeing his wickedness, Lord Khrishna set out to destroy the demon and the day Narakasura died was celebrated as Deepavali, the triumph of good over evil!
So now you know.
My family like all other hindu families celebrated deepavali this year
- The day before Deepavali

Artzy Fartzy
Tuesday, October 14, 2008
Ive always had a thing for art since i was small. My mom used to say that when she used to take me to Giant when i was about 3 years old, unlike other children who look for toys , i would aim for the stationary section. I'd see a box of colour pencils and grab it...then ill run down the isle and spot a better box of colour pencils. Ill grab that, then ill run back down the isle and place my 1st choice colour pencil box back in its place.. I use to do that repeatedly with other art supplies at that mere age.
Art was and is my hobby. Its fun . A great way to release stress. But ever since i joined the science stream, Ive neglected this part of me. I haven't touched a paintbrush in a loooong time.
It so happened this weekend i was in a very artsy fartzy mood ( if that is even a word). So i decided to paint.
It was awesome !!! Well, not the painting . It was the feeling, emotions that rushed through me as i tipped the paintbrush against the blank white surface and watched as colours appeared gracefully upon the surface. Usually it would be a feeling of peace and tranquility. This particular day it was different. More like an adrenaline rush. My heart was beating soo fast through the entire session that i feared it might explode ( figure of speech, of corce). And when i finally finished it i felt very very satisfied. I thought i had lost my touch. But i think there's still a little left in me.
well, this is how i started out
And this is what it turned out to be
Yea i know its not great. A tad messy and not quite proportionate. But its a start right ?
The next day , i couldnt quite shake off the artsy mood...so i decided to go with the flow. I painted a card for my aunt's birthday. ( im the family card maker)
This is before i added the wordings. (that's personal) :P
Well i know i aint davincci or michaelangelo. Far from it . But i enjoy what i do regardless how unattractive it may seem . :)
Ouch

I had the most embarrassing thing happen to me yesterday. I went to readers corner yesterday evening to pick up the twilight book. It was raining at that time. I didn't pay much attention to that though. I was pretty much grinning by myself, content that i finally laid my skinny fingers upon the beautifully wrapped book that i heard so much about. There i was walking with a confident stride down the wet stairs outside the shop. WRONG MOVE. My slippers hadnt much of a grip. One moment i was on the top of the stairs protectively holding my book, the next i was sprawled on the last stair , head uncomfortably rested on the stairs, still holding the book on my right hand and clutching..actually more like crushing the two ten dollar bills on my left hand.For about 10 seconds i just lay there, partly because my brain was still in a bit of a daze and also because i knew if i moved even by an inch the pain would rush into my at the time numb body . My mom and brother were sitting in the car opposite the street waiting for me. Obviously they witnessed my fall.. with utterly horrified looks. Took them quite a while to respond though. My mom couldnt get out of the car because it wasnt parked but she made my brother come to my aid. I held his arm with as much energy I could bring myself to and pulled myself up with much effort.And i was right. The pain came...Not slowly or little by little. More like a strike of lightning. You get the picture. I still couldnt pin point where the pain was originating from .The pain basically radiated through my whole body. I guess those tiny neurones in my brain took some time to arrange themselves in their ordinary arrangement.I guess the people at the bookshop saw me fall too cuz they came out and asked me if i was okay. Obviously i wasnt okay, i just fell down a flight of stairs. But like a normal person with good manners i just replied ' oh, yea..im ok...thx' all through gritted teeth and a clenched jaw. How else was i supposed 2 supress the pain ? I walked to the car as swiftly as i could holding my brothers arm with a grip which was too hard i assume because he said ' oww, chechi...ur squishing my veins' in a whinny tone. Yeah great, im having trouble even extending my legs to walk and hes complaining. Usually i would have a very smart, sarcastic remark as a come back but at that time i was just drained off all energy.When i sat in the car i felt a distinct pain . Yeap, i figured out where the pain originated from. It was from my tush till my back. I guess i banged it on the stairs more than i could remember. I had to hold a hot water bottle to my back the rest of day. I had to sleep on it 2. That was an uncomfortable experience.But im kinda proud of myself. I didnt shed a tear nor did i complain about my pain. I just sat there with a hot water botlle stuffed at my back and a book in hands. I even eased my parents worries by saying it didnt hurt much followed by a stupid forced smile. And then i decided to vent out on my blog. Kinda contradicting dont you think.. hahaThis book better be worth it
results....always the killer
Thursday, October 9, 2008
A whole week of getting exam results....imagine.....i feel....... ARGHHHH....yeah, that basically sums it all up.Well, i did do better than i expected ( i expected nothing more than 4 A's), but somehow i just aint satisfied. Typical human nature i guess. Never satisfied with what we have.What kills me the most is the line that i hear ever so often" navina says she never studies, yet look at her marks"For some reason i feel so obliged to point out thier mistake....First of all, i never said i dont study....i only said, i dont study enough. Which is entirely true...I start studying maximum 1.5 weeks b4 the exams.... And i really dont hav a clue how i get the results that i get...Its probably cuz its more fresh in my head or sumthin of the sort.......People who know me well know that i wouldnt stoop so low to lie about studying . Come on . How childish is that ? Ive just gotten so tired of explaining myself. My mom gav me sum good advice...she said next time just say you studied your butt off to get your results ... that way other people will stop making stupid comments and you will be potrayed as a really hardworking person ( yea rite)...its a win win situation.. Yea...i think dats what ill be doingJust 2 days ago i received some results and i was really unhappy with the marks. It so happened that someone gave me some practice papers that day.. So since i was feeling so bad, i picked up that paper and started doing it. My dad saw me doing the paper and he asked me ' ohh, exam 2morro ah ?' i replied 'nola' , the he said " then is it next week ??' . Again i replied " nola"..Then you know what he did ? he pinched me and said " omg ! navina studying when theres no exam ?? am i dreaming?? must check n c'....yea he pinched me 2 check if he was dreaming...wheres the logic to that huh? Anywayz, that juz shows how rarely i study..which is a baaad sign...i guess its time that i stop taking things too easily and start working my ass off. SPM is just around the corner and if i screw this up im toast.... Wish me good luck guys...god knows im gonna need it
my lost piece of art
Saturday, October 4, 2008
You know what ? Ive really been thinking about writing a book.... Dats right...Your eyes aren't fooling you...a book....me writing...
A little sudden you would think.. actually I've been pondering on this little idea for quite a while... And why not ? My English isn't particularly horrible ( there are editors anywayz) and i have miles and miles of ideas, story lines that pops up conveniently every time i daydream ( which mind you, takes about 1/3 of my day up).
Ive actually started writing a book about a year ago. Splendid work if i might say. The best I've ever done actually ( with a little help from spellcheck). Took me about 2 months to finish the prologue and the 1st chapter. I was so proud of it. My 40 pages masterpiece. I even let one or two of my friends read it just for an honest opinion. They backed me up with good comments. One even said they didnt noe i could write ..... hurmm...i don't know if that was supposed 2 be a compliment or an insult...haha...ill take it as a compliment
Ever heard of the saying all good things come to an end ? Well this is precisely what happened to me. My stupid computer decides to get infected by virus. Long story short, all my work was gone. Disappeared into thin air or thin cyberspace air....whateva....i literally banged my head on the computer table out of frustration...It was all gone and i had nothing t show of it.
One of these days im gonna write it all over again.....and make it better then the first...even if that might not be possible...or maybe ill write a new story . Something much more original , fresh. I don't know. For the time being im rather preoccupied with school stuff so ill have to put that on the shelf. If i ever , ever do start writing that book of mine, yall will be da 1st ppl i tell...
cheers
p.s- id like to thank a dear friend of mine who bought a digi number juz so that we can talk more often (plus it saves cost). Im deeply touched . hahahah :P
IM BACK !! for now....
Friday, October 3, 2008
Gosh , its been a really long time since my last post
Really, is blog is a dead town...But on the bright side.. I'm back ! :)
..... don't get used to it though...SPM is right around the corner so i doubt this place is gonna get any more alive
You know, i really do have loads to say ..But for some reason, i just cant seem to transfer them onto my blog... Its like I'm staring at my computer screen, watching the thin bar blink repeatedly and with every blink it seems to me like whatever i had intended to write just slowly slipped away.
With all the confidence i could muster up i try to type out my remaining thoughts...But it never does please me..either the English seems messed up or my daily endeavours seem to be so insignificant. Then the worrying starts. Is there any spelling mistakes ? grammar perhaps ? What would people think of me ? Did i offend anyone by mistake ? Would my blog pale in comparison to others ?
Seriously .. The amount of questions that pop into my head just by reading 2 lines of my thoughts does drive me crazy....In the end my hand saves me the trouble... BACKSPACE...there it all goes.... All my precious inner thoughts .... Doesn't it seem rather silly ? Getting all worked up over a small matter ....Well that's me...hello nice 2 meet you
Well if you think about it, just writing this particular post is a huge accomplishment... So i guess dats one problem 2 strike off the wall...
Okay then , thank you for listening ...or in this case reading the utter nonsence i have decided 2 share
Signing off now :P
