"Dance is like silent poetry"

"Nila kaigiradhe" is one of my ALL TIME fav songs...i was staring into my lappy...enjoying the video on you tube... it has been picturised so beautifully... simple yet so powerful... and the lyrics.. is just out of the world...! :)

This particular song brings back good memories... when i was in the 6th standard... i was CRAZY about dancing...any kind of dance... Bharatnatyam... random disco dance... or folk.. DANCE was my passion...

One particular incident that comes to my mind is my tryst with choreography. i choreographed a dance piece for a group of standard 4 students for their school annual day. it was for the song "Chanda suraj lakhon tare" by AR Rehman... it was such an enriching experience... to teach people to dance... (being an amateur myself)..

I would like to get back to dancing sometime in my life... classical dance.. maybe even learn a modern dance form.. someday... like they say.. its never too late!

Musical Treat!

The ambiance was perfect for a musical treat ...and a TREAT it was indeed!

The Ramar Kovil (Temple) in the spectacular Changi Village was reverberating thanks to lovely little voices! What a wonderful way to celebrate navarathri....! Can anyone challenge the beauty of Carnatic music in a spiritual environment??? I truly doubt it.

I must add here, that there is NOTHING more fulfilling and gratifying than watching your sibling perform on stage!

and with that.. i SMILE and take leave! :) :) :) :)

Blogger blogging...well....blah!

The time is 1:36. I sit alone in my room wondering why i cannot seem to get myself to study today. Duh... i guess its just like any other day!

There's this vague assignment thats sitting on my head.. and i desperately wanna get done with it...!!

What'd i do without music? man... i find solace in music! n i have no clue what 'd do without my songs! :D

Aich!!!!!!!!! :)

Today was a different day. I spent time with a classmate studying!! ...so what was different? the company was.. its been 4 months since the start of the course, but it was the first time i spent time with this particular classmate of mine... what else was different - i made a conscious effort to study!!!

Thanks to some inbuilt guilt that pops up now and then, i managed to refuse a trip to chennai!! i still cannot blve i did tht, but i guess one needs to make certain choices sometimes, and sadly so, this was mine.

......And so we were sitting by the pool trying to drill in some accounting concepts into our heads, my mind wandered.. i suddenly got distracted by loud music (no surprises there! :P).. i looked towards the barbeque pit... and saw a bunch of school kids havin this amazing party.... loud hip hop music.. food... chocolate cake...

the scene was fun...and got me all excited.... it was pleasant to see them sing together and head bang to songs that i adore!! The whole scene reminded me of Saarang days... the craziness.. the night out that followed the madness... chennai... i love u ... miss u ! :)

Hmm.. and with those thoughts in my mind.. i got back to accounting... i silently reminded myself that i had to make a life for myself :P :D

class(ic) :P :P :P

One... eyes shut...snoring...

one.. playing sudoku...but manages to answer questions every now and then to maintain the "stud profile"

one... relaxing like he would at home....
one.. writing an essay on "how to improve my family business"..
one... passing chits.. to discuss "which song to dance for during the next disc visit...."

one.. trying to keep eyes open.. facial expressions communicate the desperate need for a smoke.. ;)

one... laughing at people in class...
one.. biting nails...tensed?? nervous?? for what tho??

...charlie's pretty angels...picture perfect last benchers..restless and tired after a competition....

one...planning a blog post...

so much can happen half hour before the "breakfast break"... i guess my class "lives to eat" ;)

o ...an after thot... we were ok after the breakfast break :P :P

Random flow of thoughts....

When life changes overnight...that too drastically.. it takes even the most adjusting person in the world time, to settle in..

I love people... be it analysing personalities, studying people and their behaviour patterns or just being around a bunch of very different people.. i enjoy it all.. but human beings are not always simple and fun... we are all complex.. and i have realised that MOST, now.

3 months into my course, i have met all kinds of personalities, enjoyed some of their qualities and detested a lot of it too... some people have made me very happy and some people have annoyed me to extents they cannot even dream of... but all this has been a very good experience for me...

I realised that 20 years of my life was cheesy to say the least.. mingling with people your own age is the most wonderful thing.. but thats never the case after college life... the 21st year has perhaps been the most testing year of my life...

during this period.. i have learnt so much about the world.. and about myself...and that makes this experience worth it...

ey... 'm livin it n lovin it....!!

To Grandma...with love..

There are some people who are very special to me... the very mention of their name brings back tears of joy...the very thought of the times spent time with the person... makes me smile...

Last evening, i sat alone in a corner.. staring out of the window...amazed by the panoramic view my eyes were being treated to... i love moments like these... where i can just let go... grandma filled my thoughts...



She was modern...Very well educated....graceful and filled with values...was a wonderful,practical wife.... A wonderful mother... let her children make their choices.. let them have the freedom and independence to live life the way they wanted...and ABOVE all a wonderful grandma...

I owe the little bit of math i know to her... the hours she put in when i was in the 6th.. trying to teach me a subject i couldn appreciate... the hours and hours of chit chatting... the emotional support through my school days...

Every minute spent with her remains etched in my memory... she might not be here with me... physically... but she will always be my guiding force... my support...

My Gran... the woman i look up to for inspiration...i love her... and truly miss her....
