Canis lupus familiaris
due to non stop popular criticism i ve decided to stop publishing "BORING" blogs (like the last two) !
as previously revealed i m a cat lover. "meow"s practically my middle name. :)
But i also have a dog. I hate the mean/feral/slobbering/loud/curly tailed/tailess/hairless/spotted/most importantly cat eating kinda dogs. But i can make space for a pretty one . We had two gorgeous german shephards (Rocky and candy cane) for about ten yrs, until they succumbed to disease n old age n passed onto a happier place, a doggy heaven perhaps.
But recently we adopted Juliet. Her partner Romeo was Rocky and Candy's first born son.
Romeo n Juliet lived with my grand parents for a number of years, but recently since my grandparents have also been taxed by disease n old age, we inherited Juliet pre-maturely. Juliet though she sounds like a pretty-pawed darling, is no pure-breed. She s actually a mongrel. I was about 10yrs old n i was vacationing with my grand parents when i came across one of those mobile-nurseries.
Defenition of Mobile Nursery :
potted plants on a vandi,
wheeled by a man in a lungi
N i fell in love - with a puppy! She was about two months old n she was snuggled up under dat vandi trying to beat the afternoon heat.
I cried, i wept , threw a lil tantrum, used my 'i-m-ur-grand daughter-n-i-m-begging-u' line, i groveled n finally got my way !
The vandi guy promised she was a pure breed- white alsataian . My grand mom wasnt fooled, like i was, but she bought her for me any way. I guess i was spoiled n loved too much as a child :). He charged us close to two grand for her . So thats how we got Juliet. :)
She grew up into a sort of awkward, long limbed, ungainly not too pretty kinda mongrel. But she s quite an achiever. She can climb gates, trees, walls ,anything !
oh n she loves my cat .. lol... everytime she catches a glimpse of her she has a "i d love to have you for dinner" look on her face ... lol

dare to bite the rite ?
years n years ago when i was around 4 or 5 YRS old i was one hell of a brat !!!
apart from being a kid who used to cry during "paatu class" until my paatu master actually went ballistic n gave up on me ... i also used to also be super scared of everything n everyone !
we used to live in a cute lil appartment building back then ...
we used to live on the 2nd floor.. n i had a balcony in my room (just like rupunzil :) )....
back then pvj= scared lil rabbit
i used to be scared of everything ... the dark, old people,cockroaches,eesal(tht flying poochi tht comes during the rainy season),escalators,boys !!, my hindi teacher,the lion king cartoon(uncle scar was one scary dude), ... even my own shadow!
u get the picture rite?
so anyways, my mom used love scary movies... but there was no way in hell she could watch one when scared lil rabbit(i.e, me) was around.
so every afternoon when it was my nap time, she used watch scary movies on video( back then it was vcr not dvd players)
n since i was quite a brat i used to sneak outta my room n go investigate wat mom was watching on tv..!
i particularly remember hiding behind the door n cathing glimpses of a "VAMPIRE" movie...
n u can imagine how scared tht wud ve made me !.... vampires scare me even now, imagine back then na!
and i cud nt talk to my mom abt my vampire-fear cause i wasnt supposed to be sneaking outta my room in the first place !
so i did the nxt best thing.. i told my 4yr old best friend !
so my intelligent-bold-brave-comforting-all knowing best friend gave me ADVICE
she was like "of course vampires exist . how could u not know about them !... they drink the blood of humans to survive. they attack ppl every nite only. n only a silver bullet frm a silver gun can kill it.."
by then i was in tears ..literally scared shitless... where cud i find a silver gun????
so then she said " ok ok pri dont worry .. i know a trick ..."
n so i listened to her with wide eyed innocence ...
she said " vampires bite ppl only when they are sleeping. n they ll bite only on the left side of their necks !... so when u sleep, u must sleep in a sideways position , on ur left side so only the right side of ur neck is exposed to the vampires "
brilliant plan na !
so then practically for the next 6 or 7 years i actually slept only on my left side !
and i finally told my mom n dad abt it because i wanted them also to "safe" frm vampire bites in the nite !
they laughed so so so much :D
n finally talked me out of it !

koojium ...
i was 5yrs old back in the dark ages ... 15 yrs ago !
i actually remember it like it was yesterday ... no chordless phones , no cell phones, a lotta fiat n ambassador cars(with gears in the side of the steering wheel) , no UPS, no CDs, no laptops , no fevistick, no alpenlibe, n no cabel TV
the one n only channel was DD national ....
but i was a happy child .... :D
a quirky , sickly, skinny, slightly insane n HAPPY child
on sunday nite i used to watch the tamil news rite after the sunday movie ,... n i still remember the news reader used to end each day's session with an address ... i think it was some address that the 'fans' could write to.
the pin code was something like 641 002... (aaru naalu ondru "koojium" "koojium" rendu)
i now know that the woman was saying "POOjium" .... but my lil 5 yr old yrs always picked it up as koojium ! ... i used to love that word ... KOOJIUM ....
i actually used to spend hrs in my room , by myself , walking arnd in circles , chanting koojium, koojium,koojium !
lolz i used to have so much fun with tht ..

Bang !
bumped into an old man in a new indica today !
spent the rest of the day text-msging everyone i knew telling them what happened .... ppl thank u for being so sweet n worried ... !
well i actually reversed into him ... completely my fault .. guilty as charged !
i ll start frm the basics ... we were on our way to college today ... just like every other day .. reached the gates around 8.20 ... lil late !
something strange was up ... there were no security guards ... NIL,NADA,ZERO ! .. found out later that they were changing the security contract or sthing of that sort .
so anyways i inched into the car park after the guy in front of me like the experienced driver dat i WAS ! ...
i had to reverse twice to get into the rite position ... n the second time jus when i was getting it rite ... THUMP ! ... the soft sound of crushed metal... i reversed without checking my mirrors ... n thanks to the security-scarce car park it was chaos so i bumped into a guy whose car came outta no where !
Dont worry i m ok n so's the other guy ... there were NO dents on his or my car ... not even a square millimeter of chipped paint .. YAY ! ... i guess my car s made of rubber or i imagined the whole thing ... !
basically, i have a guardian angel :)

OBAMARAMA
the first day of college this semester i trooped into class a lil later , a lil heavier, a lil older n a lil wiser !
lol .... along with me came my hand-loom tote bag ! i m a huge fan of charity projects ... n that lil tote bag was something i picked up at a "home for the blind" charity store
all the profits go to charity n wat the heck the bag was cute...
so i walk in.. big smile on my face after sir finished roll-call a good fifteen minutes after the late bell .... and my bag is quickly referred to as my "shopping bag' by my class mates... :D
so much for making a style statement ... lolz...
i m a huge fan of Barack Obama ... n i think he s the brightest candidate in this years elections. I even 'conned' my big sister into handing over an unused Obama'08 badge that her roomie had picked up at a rally that was in her bag... n promptly used it to decorate my tote !
The bag n the badge lasted for a week after which the badge almost cracked in two n the bag became too small to carry all my books :)
i m still undeterred n i m rooting for obama 100% ... badge or no badge!!!
i think this election will be the most important election of our generation ... eventhough i dont even have the right to vote cause its not even my country ... :)
cause after all the president of america is effectively the leader of the free world n the director of 'life as we know it'

if wishes were horses, beggars would ride :-)
i should be in venice rite about now !
bridges that stand precariously over the water; gondolas that gleam like well-polished furniture; gondoliers; and the city where everything says 'i love you'...
i wud watch the sun rise .... n then trek up to one of the near by villages n knock on the door of every imposing church n admire every high sealing , every ornate statue , every sublime mural!
they'd all be mine for the day
Venice is the kinda place that i picture every person should visit alone ... with a camera, a backpack and good book .
I would probably head to venice in january .... or during the Venice Carnivale rite before Easter .
I would love to see the Sistine chapel ... the life of Michaelangelo,trully an inspiration. I'd love to go see the Sistine chapel i really would.
The art galleries , the antiques, the waterways filled with gondolas !
Then i would go see the Colloseum in Rome
n take a peep of Vatican city
n while i m at it ... i wud head to sicily n Milan !
But My very first Dream Destination - Venice!
someday .... !
