" why.. ".. i said. " that i cannot explain.. he was a brave man.. i owe me life to him.. ".. she went on.. " not why he had to die sir.. i kno why he had to die.. he died doing wat he did best.. serving the country and the ppl he best loved.. why did this war have to happen is all i ask.. why cant one man and another just get along.. " .. i didnt kno wat to say.. it was a question i didnt kno to answer myself.. with that she turned and left.. and yet again i was unsure how to react.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;why does man " the smartest of all beings " do wat he does to fellow man.. i just dont have an explanation for that .. why we live in this world where colour, religion and caste make us all different.. unanswered stuff.. thats best left unanswered coz the answers will just cause more conflict.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;for once in my life.. i found the need to let out emotion.. the grief of seeing so many ppl die.. the grief ive shared with their famlies.. the emptiness i've felt without a family of my own..  and found that there was noone in this world i could let it out to.. in all my life.. i'd been a punching bag.. a soundin board and a support to a lot of different ppl.. but somehow i had never let it out.. the only emotion i ever let out was in the field when i saw a partner taken out.. anger.. passion.. adrenaline.. kill the bastards who did this was all i thot.. now in an hour of need i had noone to talk to.. noone who i could hang onto to stay afloat.. except betsy.. betsy was my best friend.. she helped me relax.. saved my life more than once.. now she would help me end it.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i took her out of my desk.. the beatiful .35 revolver .. i polished her everyday.. and kept her loaded.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i've made the man down call so many times i've lost count.. ironic i thot as the barrel made contact with my temple.. never thot id  be making

type='text'>faith..</title><content type='html'>Went to church today after a very long time... strange.. yes.. but totally new church in a town absolutely new to me .. very small.. hardly 50 ppl were there.. new to me.. coz church to me always meant a large congregation of highly devout or highly hypocritic ppl.. here it was just 50 ppl.. considerin this sunday was a family sunday my grandparents had also come down from trivandrum.. neway.. i walked in late .. and the only place was next to a wizened lookin old man in the corner.. i took it being exhausted by the long walk straight uphill.. i sat down next to him and slowly he began to speak.. surprisingly he spoke in english.. he was talkin to himself.. a soft voice.. nearly breakin with emotion.. at first i didnt pay too much attention.. then as the service got more and more borin i started listenin to him.. he seemed to be in deep conversation wit someone called johnny..i didnt disturb him.. not wantin to stop the old man and disturb his peace.. he went on about how the "thing" looked amazing and how proud he was that he could see it ... slowly he stopped talkin and i wondered wat was going on.. he just prayed .. as the family's went forward .. i noticed eh was alone .. he came back and took his place.. tears slowly formin in his eyes.. as the service i ended .. he asked me who i was .. considerin i was new at the church i gave him a whole history .. i asked.. he told me bout himself.. george kurien.. architect.. retired of course he laughed.. i asked him why he laughed .. and he said son im 95.. i was shocked.. he looked a fightin 70.. not 95.. i spoke to him for a good five minutes and then asked him where the rest of his family was.. he told me they had all moved on... it was really heart wrenchin to see this old man all alone.. but still all cheery crackin jokes with the rest of the crowd and laughing heartily with all of them.. he caught my eye and walked over.. i kno wat ur thinkin he said .. dont feel sorry for me.. when i come here im with my family he said.. i didnt realize wat he was sayin so i nodded and smiled.. i left shortly after  and went back to the hospital .. as i did my rounds for the day i was buzzed to the ER.. runnin there.. i was shocked to see my patient was noone other than my bench mate at church.. i tried everythin i knew to revive him.. but there was nothin i could do given his condition.. he died that night.. as i covererd his sheets that night.. i saw a message scrawled on a piece of paper.. at least now i dont have to go to church to talk to u it said in small neat font.. and i couldnt help but smile.. family sunday yes.. recollections .. and reunions.. wat more could one ask for.. :) .. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hey &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;im now home.. kattapana... close to thekkady... which is close to munnar that is in kerala.. its a quiet kerala town.. but it has broadband .. :).. hehe.. happy diwali to all of u guys.. happy ramzan for those who read it on the day.. :).. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;im still me &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;may the force be with u..&lt;div

type='text'>dusting off the blog..</title><content type='html'>heyy ppl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;im back.. after aaaaaaages.. two whole months have passed since my presence on this blog has been seen.. two months is a long time .. and i have done a lot in that time.. gotten closer to soo many ppl and further away from others.. living life to the max.. hostel life is awesome.. especially when u have ur own room :).. the foods great .. at least to me.. but i'll eat anythin so that aint saying much.. made a bunch of friends in college.. lots who i knew and kno better now.. and some who i didnt kno at all but through some tough times have got close to.. :).. all in all vit is a blast and im enjoyin most of my time there.. first place i think where i've actually enjoyed exam time more than normal clas :) .. hehe..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to those of u who dont kno.. bunkin classes is routine.. u need to maintain a 75% attendance in every subject .. so by some calculations we have made the followin chart of bunakble classes every 5 weeks .. or as they call it in vit a CAM.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                   phy       - 4 &lt;br /&gt;                   chem      - 4 &lt;br /&gt;                   eng       - 4 &lt;br /&gt;                   ed        - 2&lt;br /&gt;                   math      - 6 &lt;br /&gt;                   history   - 1 &lt;br /&gt;                   comp sc   - 1 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;as u can see thats a lotta periods .. and hence we can make most use of it :) .. also.. we have only 5 hours of class a day.. so it aint at all bad :) .. only sad part is we work on saturdays...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now back to matters of home.. im sad to say that as of the 15th of september .. i shall no longer be a resident of the city of chennai.. my parents are shifting to munnar.. to those of u who dont where that is .. wiki it.. shall miss the city.. lived here only for 4 years.. but they were a blast.. i shall be coming back to the city once in a while.. but never to stay longer than a cuple of days.. :'(.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;on a happier note :).. man utd's winning.. :D.. hehe and chelsea is losing.. aaaand i can finally watch some games at least at college in the hostel :D.. coz there is no need for these bloody set top boxes.. :D.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;right ho.. keep visitin once in a while old chums .. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;till we meet again... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;im still me &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;may the force be with u..&lt;div

this means that on the 3rd or 4th of july i shall be packin bags and baggage and shifting to the hostel there.. chennai, my home for the past four years .. the best four thus far shall be replaced by the township of vellore.. a huge move for me.. but as they say dont count thine chickens afore they hatch.. this just could be the best thing that has ever happened to me..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyhoo apologies for not posting in over a month.. have been busy with trips and catching up on things i hadnt done in a long time .. like going to church for one... its funny .. going to church that is..  for one .. it can be a very enblightning experience.. both on the mind and on the pocket.. what with offertory ( rs 20) .. special offertory coz the 4th was my bday ( rs. 500 ) .. all for the cause  of salvation ( priceless... ) :D.. anyway this week half the crowd was asleep.. i wouldnt blame them.. the sermon was highly boring.. i was unaffected btw coz im used to loong and boring chem classes.. :D.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the week previous to last ( or last last week :P ) .. a bunch of us went on a trip to wayanad .. roughly 30 of us trekked , rapelled, travelled , sang, screamed, slept and kept our fellow passengers awake for 5 days.. one of the best trips i've been on and one of the last oppurtunities where ppl from my batch could really have fun together.. twas worth the money payed and the begging of parents to go on the trip.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway im 18 now.. imagine that .. me a major.. LOL.. hehe i already was a major pain in the ass.. but now im legally one.. so hooray for me.. last task now is to get a lisence..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;alrighty then ppl until next time which i promise will be sooner i take thine leave... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;im still me&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;may the force be with u&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14975806-115034970073566736?l=blogginmad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blogginmad.blogspot.com/feeds/115034970073566736/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14975806&amp;postID=115034970073566736&amp;isPopup=true' title='23 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14975806/posts/default/115034970073566736'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14975806/posts/default/115034970073566736'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blogginmad.blogspot.com/2006/06/last-twenty-in-chennai.html' title='the last twenty in chennai'/><author><name>Vishal 'Tommy' Thomas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00645505913243885469</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gBMp-OjH5II/SPt6TiHTvSI/AAAAAAAAABY/cmEc3xw6VLo/S220/tommy.jpg'/></author><thr:total>23</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14975806.post-114693069581985991</id><published>2006-05-06T08:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-06T08:51:36.996-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Song ..</title><content type='html'>&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lightning express from its station so grand has started on its way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;all the passengers that were on board seemed to be happy and gay &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but one little boy who sat by himself was reading a letter he had&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;you could plainly tell by the look on his face the contents of it made him sad.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the stern faced conductor then started his rounds&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;taking tickets from everyone there&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;finally reaching the side of the boy &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;gruffly demanded his fare &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I have no ticket" , the boy then  replied ,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"But i'll pay u back some day ".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Then I'll put you off at the next stop we make ".. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but he stopped when he heard the boy say .. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;please ,Mr. conductor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;dont put me off this train.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the best friend i have in this world sir &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;is waiting for me in pain &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;expectin to die any moment sir &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and may not live through the day &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i must get home and kiss mother goodbye &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;before god takes her away.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;im not sure of the rest of the lyrics so i wont put em up.. its a song i learnt as a kid.. there is one more stanza which has a happy ending in case ur wondering.. :).. thot it ideal for the time around mothers day.. yes i kno sad song.. but wonderful.. dont kno who its by or which era its from .. just stuck in my head these past few days.. anyway have nothin much to say.. the heat is killer .. so are entrance exams .. but the heat is worse.. practically living in a controlled climate..

type='text'>losing sense of self</title><content type='html'>The hols are going abysmally.. its hardly ten days since the boards were done.. and ive hardly managed to get an hour to myself.. its funny that despite waitin for those darn exams to get over thnkin ur gonna be free and then ur brot to the harsh reality that u got a heckuva lot more to do than u thot.. its painful the way i have class and hardly anytime off.. thot may was gonna be free thats also been fucked up.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ever felt that ur letting everyone u love and care about down.. i am right now.. made a  lotta promises got bucket loads of advice and spoilt it all.. no drive no determination no patience.. major problems duno wat im supposed to do.. i can scarcely imagine wat it must be to be a small man of 5'6" walkin into a stadium iwht the weight  of the expectation of the entire nation on u..scary.. just a handful of ppl and ive managed to let them down in the past few weeks.. in different ways.. and the guilt is getting to me.. ive been told ive been trying to hard .. tryin to little to sort myself out.. and not tryin to understand the problem.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;confusing.. ?? HELL YES.. i dont know wat im doin myself.. trying to get my life together after ppl in my life have started moving away and are ill and struggling themselves.. that worry added to the fact that  all will end before it even begins is scary... waitin for life to kick me in the balls now.. its about time.. lifes been too good to last.. cleaning out my closet of the skeletons that lie there is a very different experience.. guilty of not listening to advice.. advice taht is probably the best for me .. sadly like all thats been ever given to me.. i've havent used it as well i should have.. apologising once is one thing.. doing the same thing again and then tryin to apologise is murder.. ive done it.. and that guilt is very much alive.. im sorry u guys,, u kno who u be.. u may wonder why i've put this here.. but i've had no choice.. life's been killer these past few weeks and u've stuck with me..that means a heckuva lot.. u've laughed with me and at me.. cried with me and for  me.. lost ur patience with me.. and been understanding when im bein my grumpy old self.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yes i guess i've reverted to the post of the languishing soul..   sorry to those who were expectin a better post.. at the moment thats all i can give u.. not been the best of lives.. anyway i gotta go now.. so until next time &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;im still me &lt;br /&gt;may the

type='text'>Paraphernilia</title><content type='html'>hey all &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;u might be wonderin wat that headin is doin on this post.. well to tell u the truth i dont kno myself .. heck i love the word for some reason and its been stuck in my head over the past few days mayb this way itll get out :D .. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;over the past few days ive found myself questioning the reasoning behind religion and all those crazy things we do to invoke god's blessings.. i dont kno bout u.. but i think its a huge waste of time..  i mean u'd think there was enough cattle up in heaven without us slaughtering them as offerings .. i mean wats the big deal .. or mayb stopping just short of killing urself stickin hooks in ur skin as if it it was bell pins into ur palm ( have any of u ever done that.?? its awesome.. the pins bit btw :P) .. or waiting in line to recieve a bit of holy water thats just prob benn colected from the tap.. yes.. its stupidity.. this aint directed at any specific religion dont get me wrong.. if all religions preach teh same thing why do the customs need to really exist is all i ask.. u want to talk with god,,, do so when u want to.. u dont need special time or a special place ....all u need to shut urself and tell that supernatural power wat u want to.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;basically ive lost faith in all religion.. this doesnt mean im an atheist far from it.. i just believe that there's a god and not much more.. religion is just a means of expressing praise to that god.. pretty philosophical wouldnt u say?? well thats me  all of a sudden &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway thats a gist of all ive been thinking over the past few days... now still goin for class eatin 8 hours of my supposed free time everytime.. outta the other 16 8 goes in sleep and another hour in eating ( yes i do a lot of that ) .. now 7 hours isnt much ..  3 hours at least go in lazing around.. another hour or so in doing odd jobs and running errand for me mum and granma.. so 3 hours left.. out of which one hour is spent reading.. so 2 hours is all i can study.. hehe suits me just just fine :).. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hmmm pmpd exam today hope theyve done ok.. anyway i must go now.. i shall catch ya'll  later.. &lt;br /&gt;see ya ppl.. &lt;br /&gt;till next time ...&lt;br /&gt;epithataepithat .. thats all folks :D &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

type='text'>once more..</title><content type='html'>heyy all.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;im back,.. surprising aint it.. havent blogged twice this close together in ages.. guess i cant really help that.. anyway wats new.. since the last time i blogged india's lost a test match so hopelessly that i've lost all hope.. i've started time classes in a batch with no company.. i've had a mock aieee which i've done horribly.. honestly i wonder why i try.. i've sent out 500 messages.. yes 500.. awesome number wouldnt u say.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway major boredom nowadays .. its cricket in the morning then coming home and trying to wake urself enough to get to class sit there for 8 hours .. then get back home and come online ... then sleep and repeat the same crap over and over again.. but there are these rare days where u can watch a movie or two and read a book ... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;cant live without the ac these days .. its bleeding hot.. its like sittin in a permanent sauna... never known good old chennai to be so humid.. reminds me of kerala.... doesnt help that i have more than a justified quantity of blubber on me.. &lt;br /&gt;think i shall post some pics today .. this was the place where i've spent most of my short and really pointless life.. its called kotagiri and is about 30 kms from ooty.. for all those ppl who have been there( not likely )  u'll agree that is an absolutely beautiful place.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the pics will come at the end of the post.. right now.. i think im outta ideas.. its 31 posts with this one.. yes faaar behind the rest .. who cares not me.. anyway probably will be easy way to stay in touch with the rest of u idiots who actually spend time readin the blog.. i appreciate it.... done some crappy things in the 4 days of hols i've had.. actually sat and organized all the pics i have stored in wierd locations all over my comp.. madness.. now together with my music and videos they occupy an entire drive .. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hehe.. ive managed to stay in the top 20 in india at fantasy premier league.. more than enough fer me .. first time ever ive done this well.. watched a loaaad of movies in the past few days.. ate loads of popcorn and drank a lotta juice.. ahh who cares.. &lt;br /&gt;my motto always is and alwyas shall be eat drink and be merry for tomo i shall diet .. heheh.. &lt;br /&gt;yes now my mood has steadily improved during the course of this blog.. always a good sign should blog more often.. much to ur horror ..:P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anwyay i go now leave u with these pics &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a77/leftleggedrighty/image35.jpg" border="0"

DARTH VADER is backing LUKE&lt;br /&gt;SKYWALKER toward the end of the gantry. A quick move by Vader, chops&lt;br /&gt;off Luke's hand! It goes spinning off into the ventilation shaft. Luke&lt;br /&gt;looks round, but realizes there's nowhere to go but straight down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DARTH VADER: "Obi Wan never told you what happened to your father."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LUKE: "He told me enough!

When I was 10, I single-handedly&lt;br /&gt;destroyed a Trade Federation Droid Control ship!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LUKE: "Well, it's not my fault."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DARTH VADER: "Oh, here we go.

stroke of midnite.. this is prob the last new year we all have to look forward that involves school on the second.. and the last time we could all hang out till the boards.. yeh.. its seems such a long time back since i joined skl but its only been a year and a half.. a year and a hal where i've done things i would never have imagined myself capable of.. i may have complained about the year 2005.. im sure i have.. it has been a bad year.. but every cloud does have a silver lining and for me that silver lining has to be the bonds that have been strengthened in the year,,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

type='text'>man's best friend..</title><content type='html'>peculiar aint it.. man's best friend ... the dog has a perfectly capable brain.. it can make perfectly logical decisions for eg. when to cross the road .. or call us when it wants to its business and the like ... yet they chose to stick around wit us.. humans who though we show our love and affection to them are mostly preoccupied with other things and hardly spend time with them.. this is where cats have learnt a thing or two and make us earn their affection.. but dogs ever loyal .. ever faithful and always cheerful have their way of cheerin u up even when ur most depressesd or most lonely.. &lt;br /&gt;my dog Sandy died last night.. yes i kno it may sound ridiculous to dedicate a post to a dog .. but this was my first dog.. my first best and most loyal best friend.. and in all aspects a sister.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She was my first friend.. being an only child it does get lonely.. especially when ur living in a place liek kotagiri.. where most of the time the cable is out and theres not much else to do .. it was at times like this when ur alone at home that sandy made u feel good.. she'd come and lie on your lap and curl up there.. it was nice .. &lt;br /&gt;gave u a sense of someone being around and added to that an added warmth it was after all 2500 feet above sea level..always lively there wasnt a better dog.. a lhasa apso and pom cross she was the cutest dog i kno tho im sure every dog owner says the same...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;all of a foot and a half tall and with bushy hair.. that most times stood in a punk she was  a friend when i needed one .. and a great football partner.. :D.. its times like these id like to rememebr.. the fact that i hadnt seen her before she died hurts ... in fact its been almost two years since i saw her last.. but she's been around since i was six.. my first bday present after i came back from moscow ...so i doubt that at any pt of time she'd be erased from my memory.. anyway very emotional moment for me.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway this post comes to an end here... i dont kno wat to say.. &lt;br /&gt;im still me&lt;br /&gt;may the force be with

Select a combination of both the mother and fathers names.&lt;br /&gt;Eg: Suresh and Sharon = Susha or Joseph and Beena = Jobi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. The addition of a 'mon' (meaning son) or 'mol' (meaning daughter) is optional.&lt;br /&gt;eg: Sushamol, Jobimon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. To attach a modern anglicised feel to the names, the mol or mon can be replaced with boy or girl.&lt;br /&gt;eg: Jobiboy, Sushagirl&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;. 4. For the politically correct keralite family, mol and mon can be replaced by the universal 'kutty'(child), which can be used for both boys and girls!&lt;br /&gt;Eg: Jokutty, Susikutty&lt;br /&gt;Even parents having combination names can still give their children suitable names&lt;br /&gt;eg: Libi and Jobi = Lijo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, in the scenario where the parents already have combination names that cannot form more comprehensible child names.&lt;br /&gt;Eg: Itty and Amukutty,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;would produce only Itam (which doesn't even sound like a name) or Amit (which is like Northie and stuff!!!!),&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then a. use an English word like Baby, Merry, Titty, Pearly, Smiley, Anarchy, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;b. use a combination of two English names that you think sound cool (but never cool enough) like Meredith + Gina = Megi, or Sharon + Darlene = Sharlene&lt;br /&gt;c. Use a name from the Bible (and not Nebuchadnezzar! Use one that even velliammachi can pronounce!) like Jacob, Sam, John, Joseph, Mathew, or Jijo!&lt;br /&gt;d. Use a name that sounds like a cuss word but isn't. Eg: Boben, Prussy, Shagi, JustinTimberlake etc.&lt;br /&gt;Note: The use of the letter 'j' is useful in the naming of sibling where names that sound alike are a novelty.&lt;br /&gt;Eg: Ajji, Sajji, Majji, Bhajji and Nimajji, or Sijo, Lijo, Jijo, Anjo, Panjo, Banjo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;lol now wasnt that fun??? lol now a joke that could classify as shruv level but only mallus will get it i fear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q. What do you call a mallu kid who sticks his nose into other people's business?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A.

(not that i have much hair on me head but it does grow pretty thick. ) anyway back to first haircut. the guy cuttin my hair was clearly more interested in either watchin the olympics or watchin the road coz he duly proceeded to the followin and i mean to a 6 month old kid .&lt;br /&gt;                     1. cut off too much hair from the top that to make up he had to shave me bald.&lt;br /&gt;2. snip me ear. ooooh i bet he has nitemares about doin that, i screamed and kicked and scratched and bawled so much that my dad who was holdin me( obviously they didnt havea chair that fit me:P) has his arms bleeding in plenty of places. finaly the guy managed to finish and decided ok lets carry the cute little baby. so i thot to meself( or at least i must have :P:P) PAYBACK TIME and proceeded to puke on him.:D:D:D:D/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now y u ask do i have this sudden recollection?? well i went fer a haircut on saturday . and yet again YET AGAIN the idiot managed to snip me ear. yes it bled fer a while and he freaked and nearly fainted. not coz of the amt of blood but at the number of expletives i directed at him in the three minutes that followed and i was holdin a cotton piece to me ear. anyway he finished and then took the blade to finish the job that is on my non existant sideburns . no im not balding . but i have a decisively small sideburns . so ok he does one side properly then moves to the other side. im givin him beady eyed glares from my place in front of the mirror anyway then he moves to the back of my neck,. and i think he thot hed gimme some of my own medicine and cuts sooo deeep that now the back of neck is bleeding . but i knew none of this coz my mind was distracted with sushmita sen in main hoon na ( he plays it splly fer me on his 1989 tv) oooooooooh lalalalalalalla.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway i get up pay the dude his 50 bucks and got the hell outta there after givin him a hasty apology .:P/ i still didnt kno my neck was bleedin so i get back home and check my new haircut out int he mirror and notice a faint red stain on me shirt. shit i think not on this shirt not blood pls not blood,&lt;br /&gt;and it is . a nice stain, but thankfully it left no marks on my neck just bled and died, hehe.neway another abnormal incident down . and blog no 16. finally. never thot id make it past 15........&lt;br /&gt;will c ya after xams

style="color:#999999;"&gt;yes im back. apologies to all those who have been visiting me daily to see if somehow i had updated . &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;first and formost i have got to thank the ppl who have so graciously advertised both me blog and the review of reverbs 2005. thanks antarius and gaya u just increased traffic to me blog. :D:D . also all ppl who have commented thanks a bunch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;luky blog no 13 and i have nothin to say. this week was pretty uneventful cept fer the fact that we got a holiday bang in the centre of the week so it was nice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that reminds me tuesday was the young world quiz in which i unknowingly participated. the organizers i think forgot to tell us this year it was the "YOUNG WORLD INDIA QUIZ FOR MATRIC SCHOOLS ". i mean seriously . nearly every question in the prelims seeemed to be have been lifted from a tenth standrad matric text book.  so our plan to overcome this ?? we participate next year as sons of zion matriculation hss. and our uniforms u ask?? pink shirts with purple pants. not only wil we qualify fer the finals. well win the damn quiz. with our sparkling and shiny new uniforms. yes nabil aj and sid i think we shall looks like our only hope as long as the organizers resort to crude methods of getting new schools on stage. this year itself was horrible with three unherd of skls( not takin any credit away from them ) but still i mean cummon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway the rest of the week was fairly ok . had lotsa fights with friends so have to apologise to them. so that kept me quiet most of the week . yest was fun tho. not durin skl no . but after, went to gagothree and hogged . with the rest if the idiots. good fun, special mention to the snorter. u kno who u r. hehehe.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;lost a relative this past week so i thot of a poem i had written ages ago lying somewhere .  i just found it  yesterday on my msn space.  anyway i wrote this poem in jan i think , lotta of u have read it some havent. so just check it out . leave a comment bout wat u think about it. even if u thik it sucks .&lt;br /&gt;                             &lt;strong&gt;

 worldly existence&lt;br /&gt;yet a bond that is almost divine&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;life was bliss&lt;br /&gt;until deaths fatal kiss&lt;br /&gt;made for a sad existence&lt;br /&gt;in my life of peace&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then i leaned on my friends&lt;br /&gt;who without any hook or crook&lt;br /&gt;let me past the bad and into the good&lt;br /&gt;for that i thank everyone of them&lt;br

type='text'>reverbs review</title><content type='html'>hey all&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DAY-1&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yes ar rehman came &lt;strong&gt;yahooooooooooo&lt;/strong&gt;. it was unbelievable. as the paper quoted it the next day " as soon as the students saw the familar curls they went into a frenzy!" a frenzy that reverberated till the two day event was over at the karnataka sangha. kudos to rehamn he came on time on the dot to be more presice despite workin all nite on one of his multiple projects and he didnt dissapoint. he gave us reason to shout and scream with a rendition of "dil se" which was brilliant. ganesh and kumaresh the guests of honour were over shadowed by his very presence but they reminded all of us that they were around with a superb bhajan duet. the host perfomance of alai payuthe and vande mataram was brilliant and VED the man fastest man on drums this side of chennai set the stage on fire with a drum solo.&lt;br /&gt;we started off slowly with lite music and then the &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;message board&lt;/span&gt; came to life. basically the message board was the life of the party . but the party was in the hands of &lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;DJ ASHOK&lt;/span&gt; and he handled it in pretty much as well as ronaldinho controls a football.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yes now back to message board,. its basically wat u get when u give three wise guys ( in this case antarius, anirudh and vignesh ) a computer and a big screen and allow them to type wat they want on it. for example anyone who came to the fashion show will remember "the ashram"s show. the comment from the message board you ask?? " india shining!!" lol lol. some brilliant jokes and puns kept the mood in the karnataka sangha audi good and had the audience spell bound most of the time. the dj did a gret job and the small battles betwn the dj and the message board were well appreciated by all./&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in the mean while a whole load of competitions went by with multiple winners , vm, bvm and cv doin most of the winning. lite music was over and done with that left JAM(this is where the msg board had the most fun) , folk dance, another solo by VED , ship wreck (won by the probably the smallest kid in the hall bruce lee his character was) ,apart from currency design , punch line among others. the day ended early fer once, so we had time to practice the host fashion show . and i like several others was very interested to kno wat was the plan. little did i kno i was gonna be part of the plan!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yes u read right !! vignesh was nowhere to be found so me of all ppl was asked to sub fer him till he couldbe tracked down(shoulda been hunted down like a dog in my book :P) , so yes i unknowingly walked the ramp. yes me stop gasping in surprise. !!:P :P. anyway the dj changed the entire routine so i was left wonderin "OH CRAP !! WAT IF VIGNESH DOENST TURN UP WAT THE HELL AM I GONNA DO??" but fer once i was lucky coz just as i was thinking this thot appears vignesh. and i was safely back to me place in the stands watchin . ahh now that was more like it.&lt;br /&gt;got back home went fer class ate slept. thassal fer reverbs day-1.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DAY-2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YES it was finally time fer western music . the most awaited event at revrbs 2005. and it didnt dissapoint, after an amazin host performance comprisin of all time greats like "enter sandman","smells like..." and "i stand alone" the crowd was goin wild.&lt;br /&gt;as if that wasnt enough on came VED and KIRAN with a brilliant duet . then the drummer went in to hyperdrive and it was all u could do to keeep ur head bangin at about the same speed as the bass drum reverberated the sweet smell of sucess to the host perfomers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;then we had the chance to witness 3 gods. &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;prithvi&lt;/span&gt; from vm on the drums (he gave ved a run fer his money) , &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;shreyans&lt;/span&gt; from shishya on the guitar( slash junior the message board called him ) and &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;ajay &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;rao&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt; from lady andal on the sax!! these guys just blew the crowd away and all three got standing ovations. then the judges performed and we realized y these ppl akshay chakrapani , krishna, kk and sujan are called gods of the gods. wat a show!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;the next event was the quiz durin which yours truly kept score . damn that was a good job and an excellent quiz . the two teams from ps walkin away with the top honours and one of the teams from cv the third. the quiz masters did a gret job and so did their support. varun and harish witht he computer. and the quiz masters ajay kathik, karthik balajee, thakalli, and siddharth did a sooper job and were deservedly praised by mrs. ygp. a little secret ajay had no idea wat the questions were and he just did the job of an extempore quiz master and made it look like he knew it all. heheheh &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;then as the day wore on we worked thru the other events such as adaptune and block'n'tackle . we also worked our way thru a huuuge supply of food. hehe. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;then came fashions and the various schools put their best feet forward and miss and mr revrbs decided . all the while the dj and the msg board still keepin the audience in hugh spirits. it was good . it just got better wehn the hosts performed. a performance appreciated even by the chief guest of the nite the comedian vivek. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;after the prize distribution all the tired volunteers and most importantly the cul secs and the spls of both skls (kkn and nungambakkam ) have somethin that will resonate in their minds for the rest of their lives , but fer now its back to the books and the grindstone after 10 days of amazing fun, serious hard work by the organizers both student and staff and a lot of tine quarrels and a bucket load of new friends made . just wish we could have anothter one at some pt of time with the same bunch . wishful thinkin? hell yeah!! :D:D. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;anyway i must take thy leave now , must continue to reminisce......&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;see ya later&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;i leave thee with quotes from the msg board&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;art thou deff dj??&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;finally some real music!!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;india shining!!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;lite sponsors of reverbs - the ashram&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;sucess is 99% perspiration ( a crack to the djs comment on body odour)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;wearing your dancin underwear today??&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;hes not invisible hes just short!!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;lol lol &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;anyway bbye &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;im still me &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div

style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;yep its finally here . weeks of hoping and dreaming about it have come to an end .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;all this wouldnt have happened at all had our maths teacher had her way. her 70% cut off rule was vetoed by the teachers thankfully and we all got to go despite a pretty miserable mid term exam. neway reverbs is startin today at the tp road school.&lt;br /&gt;one of the things that amazed about reverbs is the amount of work given to the students to themselves, which i think is a ns extremely good idea. considering that we r after in our last year if school and soon to be out in the so called big bad world .&lt;br /&gt;ok bfore i start soundin too much like me dad i'll talk about somethin else . like football .&lt;br /&gt;yes finally the epl and the primera liga have both kicked off. this ends a drought of good quality football . but considerin the fact that all the football i can watch at home is &lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"the 1998 (i was 10 fer petes sake ) confederations cup&lt;/strong&gt;!!" &lt;/span&gt;on dd . oh joy !! i can actually watch uae vs australia wheeeeeeee.&lt;br /&gt;anyway im playin this fantasy premier league thing on premierleague.com . and god m far behind the competition but hell im ranked in the top 5000 this week!!! yeh baby . 5000 doesnt seem like much . but when there r  500,000 ppl playing i think thats pretty decent.&lt;br /&gt;man utd all the way this season. ruud , rooney, sun, ronaldo , scholes and ferdinand are in all superb form . and nothin not even the blatantly obvious fouling of cristiano ronaldo by the entire newcastle team can stop them. muhahahahahaha . and chelsea ur going down this year. i mean u struggled to beat &lt;strong&gt;WIGAN.&lt;/strong&gt;( my current second favourite) . lol it took 94 minutes to score i pitty thee.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;anyway man uts rulz and chelsea sux! and speakin of suckin so do the aussies!! cmon england wat a royal mauling at trent bridge . !!! finally the aussies are bein put in their place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;anyway i shall leave thy presence now , see thee soon, may the force b with u&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;man who goes thru airport door sideways is going to Bangkok..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Man who fart in church sit in own pew.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Stand on

minute wat fans lets count ummmmmmm 1.gaaay.thats it . has been a horrible week . marks were as dreadful as i expected so not much to say about that. incidentally thats the reason i havent blogged this week . simple logic really . no net or bloggin till u show some inprovement. thankfully i had a test in tuition which i managed to ace so im baack!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;coupla days ago got a call me from an old friend whos shifted schools in twelfth and now is havin real problems coz the school is not exactly wat ud call normal. anyway that reminded me of my fisrt few days in psbb.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;no offence to anyone but i seriosuly thot everyone was bloody mad. hehe espescially gaay (wasnt wrong there ) and shalin(here too ) and aditya and choo (here also) . anyway first day in class lunch break and gk's gon around meetin the new guys and soon he comes up to me and before he even asks me name he says" hey ur a brahmin surely" hehe ,cant say that i blam e him i had curd rice .:D:D/ little did he kno i thot smugly. anyway the next big shock came in math period, aditya and choo were sharin a private joke and lafin their heads off when aditya got caught . so hes asked to stand up and asked wat ppl who laff theit heads off fer no reason were clased&lt;br /&gt;and his reply "intelligent" gave me insight into wat was to come to be known as the "ab" efect a racous laffter thru out hte class fer no specific reason . hehe . anyway i still remember i had trouble fittin in . but soon i overcame that and now proudly say i am a pssbian. hehe extremley corny ?? yes it is .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway gotta thank all me friends fer hangin around. tho its the last sunday of august wat i should have said on the first one happy friendship day!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

type='text'>oh what should i be ?</title><content type='html'>hey all&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;dont really kno wat to about . exams are finally over and that leaves with three days of pure freedom. no homework and the only thing to put us off from merry making is the prospect of marks of five subjects in one day on monday hehe. but till then who gives a damn. considerin my creativity is currently lying hidden behind some thick curtains of boredom and sleep. i will leave u all with a  piece of  it written when i was in the ninth. apt at the time i thot still is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                                              &lt;br /&gt;                                                  &lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt; &lt;strong&gt; WHAT  SHALL  I  BE ?? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You should be thinkkin of wat u want to be !!" , " Get ur priorities right !!","Hard work is the only way". oft repeated lines at home in recent times. God knows, I dont know what i want to do or become.&lt;br /&gt;Profesional pro sports watcher or part time rider, a player of games or a even a full time juice and snack taster woudl not appeal to me parents i fear."always have the big picture in mind" says my dad . Easy for him to say watchin a movie and humming ' que sera sera'&lt;br /&gt;but seriously, what shal i be?? dare i join the police or the army? the likes of kargil and veerappan are not exactly my cups of  tea. should i take up a career in acting?? my mom already thinks my cheeks allready have make up. computers are the craze now , but the speed at which tech is develoopin by the time i finish the course i do , it may already be obsolete. hereditarily speaking i should become a doctor . but sleepless nights and extreme pressure-can my system take it?? an engineer then , tho , if wat my father says about my maths is right , what i make will be quite unique.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;will i do well as a man of god?? the robe may suit me but to recollect all those verses and to remember where a particular text is , may tax my ppor brain too much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;proffesional sports sounds fun. i talked to an aunt of mine who was a national swimming champion. "tons of talent and many more years of hard work,boy" she says. I felt it is tough to decide on what i want to do in the future - how to make one's own ark in this world. there are so many options and the competition massive. should one of the periods in our time tables be career guidance?&lt;br /&gt;for now , i think i will join my father in humming que sera sera, whatever will be will be !!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;just for your info im still just as confused as i was then/ anyway see yaz all&lt;br /&gt;comment pls&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14975806-112442336682157697?l=blogginmad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blogginmad.blogspot.com/feeds/112442336682157697/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14975806&amp;postID=112442336682157697&amp;isPopup=true' title='20 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14975806/posts/default/112442336682157697'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14975806/posts/default/112442336682157697'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blogginmad.blogspot.com/2005/08/oh-what-should-i-be.html' title='oh what should i be ?'/><author><name>Vishal 'Tommy' Thomas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00645505913243885469</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gBMp-OjH5II/SPt6TiHTvSI/AAAAAAAAABY/cmEc3xw6VLo/S220/tommy.jpg'/></author><thr:total>20</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14975806.post-112384203557295009</id><published>2005-08-12T07:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-08-12T07:16:27.600-07:00</updated><title type='text'>the pic</title><content type='html'>this is me&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/290/7325/640/Dscn2568.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: #660066 1px solid;

trot!!&lt;br /&gt;the say started off well enough. woke up late . wait a minute did i say wake up?? thats not possible coz i dint sleep a wink . made me wonder in the nite if chinese water torture was better than goin thru an entire nite without a wink of sleep and hearin the odd lorry rumble past and the screams of the old drunkards and the barks of the dogs chasing them. yeh...........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway india lost &lt;b&gt;AGAIN &lt;/b&gt;no surprise . snathcin defeat from the jaws of victory....... . ganguly is back . woe is us. woe is us. hes lucky its nearly imposible to bowl a bouncer in sri lanka .the git. he'll play his no footwork pull right into the hands of either the bowler or square leg fielder not any further than that .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oki this is slightly peculiar coz im writin all of this a day after it happened . but yeh im facing new restrictions that range from mild to death threats to study fer midterms so my bloogin will be greatly

type='text'>the match</title><content type='html'>hey again&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;another day another month, but still teh same result. today was our football match . somethin i was lookin forward to coz its the only thing left to look forward to. sadly there wasnt much point in lookin forward to it . after an early start to the day , we left fer the ground and with some optimism looked at the pitch we were to play on. we didnt consider it too big. but all that optimism dissappeared when we actually took a few steps onto the pitch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after a wait that seemed to talke an eternity we finaly got to play. and despite a bright start to the game we were soon two goals down , and despite our best efforts we were soon lookin out of the match, then came me only real contribution in the entire match . a corner . but with that miss ended our chance of an unlikely comeback.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then after a bloody and gruesome senior match we left to get back to skl where we were slightly only damged fer losin in the first round but after some comments with varyin levels of vice in them ive come home and started to blog . guess theres not much pint in cintinuin this pointless reminiscence of the day . so till tomo&lt;br /&gt;see ya&lt;br /&gt;still me&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>mondays baahhhhhhhhhh</title><content type='html'>a very garfiels like statement eh? but yeh i hate mondays . this one was no different . if anything i hated it more. started at 3 30 am can u believe that 3 30!!!!! yeh thats only coz i had to go drop my mom at the airport . shes gone fer a press conference in coimbatore. can u belive that my mom ?? a press person . im totally zonked. anyway then reached skl and had football practice that went went horribly wrong fer some reason and didnt play at all like i expected myself to and thus was depressed as i walked into class at 925. but then the totally unbelievable happened, i got 15 in chemistry unit test . i was expectin 8 so u can probably imagine how much that shocked me. considerin i hadnt studied fer the test and also didnt copy im happy wit my marks, tho(as usual) i wish i could have got more. then followed the amazin period of time whre i ahd no idea wat i was doing. as someone once said staring pointlessly into space and also wrtin simultaneously. then came chem pracs , always have a blast there tho the teacher may not be the friendliest in teh world. then came lunch which fer once was pretty subdued, ate ate ate and then slept.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;post lunch came math horror coz i hadnt done a bit of homework and like a certain nice of mine didnt get crucifies either. then another zonked out session with surprise phy test which i mucked up so bad i hated myself for it. then another practice session this time it didnt eevn start, bcoz of a certain incident with some of the locals which didnt end very pleasantly .thus football practice was scrapped the day before the match . but this allowed us to get one thing sorted out:our formation . lets see how well we can do tomorrow. at least we must try to perform beter than last year .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then started the quest to reach my football jersey. tis a loong story but since i got the time ill tell u about it, it all started on the 21st . i got my jersey for the first time and as is usual with these things&lt;strong&gt; it didnt fit. &lt;/strong&gt;so i unasuningly gave it for alteration little did i kno that the the only alteration that would be the day which it was given to the tailor which was the 29th. anyway it got ready only today evenin so i had to go collect it after school which meant forunately or unfortuantely i had to miss tuition &lt;strong&gt;again&lt;/strong&gt;. simple soundin dont it?? but as usual it got complex. by the time the car got to school to pick me up i might as well have just gone for tuition . but the bright point was that the altered jersey actaully fit. so by the time i got home it was seven . not much to do then so came and online and joined the in flux of jobless youth .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now as bed time approaches i must take thy leave .... will definitely write again tomo .&lt;br /&gt;till then see ya&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img
