Kamala Surayya,MJ and now LohithaDas???

Lohithadas passed away a few hours ago.Such a big loss to the malayalam movie industry and the sensible movie lovers. We might have had bigger losses like that of Padmarajan and Bharathan earlier. But then i was too small to realise it. Its only when the news channels went on and on about Lohithadas's works that i realised most of my favorites were written by him. I couldnt name one which i didn't like. Nivedyam,Veendum Chila VeetuKaryangal,Sallapam,Bhoothakannadi,Thooval kottaram, Kireedam, Chenkol, Amaram, Valsalyam, Venkalam, KAMALADALAM, Bharatham, Sasneham, Kudumbapuranam, Kanmadam, Kasthoorimaan..the list goes on and on. Kireedam and Kamaladalam are the works i loved the most in Malayalam cinema itself. But back then i was so awed by MohanLals performance that i never thought much about the person who gave birth to characters like Sethumadhavan and Nandagopan. He had also created strong female characters like Bhanu of Kanmadam and Priyamvadha of Kasthoorimaan. Its only now when he left us that i realize what a golden mark he has left in the epics of malayam cinema.I am yet to see his debutant work Thaniyavarthanam.
Today its such a disheartening day for the Malayalis all over the world.
I am sure he will live in our hearts as long as Malayalam cinema remains through his works. May God give strength to his family. May his soul rest in peace.

Be Water Wise!!!

Long time since I posted >>>:D<<<

Its been 7 months and 1 week I guess. I missed blogging quite a lot :-). Its been some days since I was dying to pen down my thoughts on Gujarat assembly’s anti terror bill.

..he he..who am I kidding? I cant even pull a line like that. Sigh. Anybody who’s googling for the anti terror bill and landing upon this page ..i am extremely sorry..this post has nothing to do with it. I just had an accidental glimpse of todays newspaper(I know I know I am not proud of it)on my way to kitchen. Following the tradition, this post is also about me :-D

So the news of the year is that I am posted back to my hometown and im still in that ecstatic mood. As a matter of course , my official life is abundant with my cleverness and wisdom as portrayed in the instance below.

I am strictly against the wastage of resources (eventhough I fall asleep a lot with my lights and pc on). So I appreciate the save water and green it initiative banners which they have kept throughout my office.

One day when I was in the restroom I noticed waterflow not stopping in one of the toilets. The flush there had some problem. On seeing the wastage of tons of water my heart ached. In the walls of the toilet there was 1 poster having the save water message and beneath that was written.”in case of waterflow not stopping call bala-98950*****”.

I memorized the number and went back to my cabin. There I presented the issue in front of my cabin mates. They also encouraged me to do the good deed of saving some water for our planet. So I took the phone and dialed the number.

bala:- “Hello”

Me :- “Ivide toiletil vellam nilkunila. Athu parayaan vilichathaa”(I just called to say the waterflow is not stopping in the toilet)

bala :-“Helloooo”

Me :-“bala allee??”(Is this bala???)

bala :- “Alla” (Nope)

Cling!

Guess Who's Back!!!

:-h

Hatched

Once remained inside a cocoon
When i was a larva they fed me with a spoon
Then became the pupa,the fun filled teenage
But they never closed me in a golden cage

Remaining facet,being a butterfly
Scared,Nervous,Yet ready to fly
Time to transpire,outta the comfort zone
Now its time to make it on your own

Staring at a turning point
Scaring if it'd disappoint
Trying keenly to observe
Whats hidden behind that curve

All those who went ahead left some footprints
Here i am coming,following their hints
Got a day left,to stay in this warm nest
To scribble trash and waste more time
Realizing its not about words that rhyme:D

Yesterday-Your oldest memories

My first Birthday-my aunt gave me this doll of Indira Gandhi . Amma had made sadya(traditional kerala feast) for a few people and Achan invited his whole office to home without any notice. Though I dont remember how they managed.
Our house owner lived downstairs and whenever I used to switch on some light unnecessarily Amma used to scold me saying I am wasting Govt's current and the uncle downstairs better not see it. So I lived with the impression that the uncle downstairs is Government.
Apparently I was a very well-behaved(read lazy) child. I would stay wherever they kept me unlike my sister and cousins.

What were you doing ten years ago?

I was in 7th std. Classes were shuffled at the beginning of 7th std for the first time. So i was lonely at first. Then I met M (whom i mentioned here ) . Those were the good old days when I was mad about the man who retired out of International cricket today. I just realised I still am.


Today

Spending my last few days at home before I join my job. Having bittersweet feelings about leaving this place. Have to finish a lotta formalities,not to mention start packing before I go..which is keeping me busy fortunately, not giving much time to think about how I am gonna miss my dear ones there.

Tomorrow

Got to go to the hospital to take some medical tests which the company wants me to undergo. Should also visit JD,an old teacher of mine.


What do you see yourself doing 14 years from now?

Happily married. Well settled.Beeing at a job which I love and which allows flexible hours letting me spend a lotta time with my family,living at a place which isnt far away from my parents. And they say I am not ambitious.


If you build a time capsule what would it contain?

Memories of college life,Photographs regarding the same, Memories of the good old days at home fighting with sister for a piece of chocolate or the last spoon of ice cream..memories of the times when she was so-wanna-hug-you-right-now kinda innocent and cute. So many memories ragarding incidents which may appear just another normal day thing to others,but is very special to my heart. Also those blogposts which are dear to me,which I think are deserved to be read.

I tag you.

Helloooooo..Hellooooooooo..Anybody thereee???

10 more days left for me in my hometown... and no, surprisingly I'ven't started getting all emotional yet. If you ask me what I am feeling right now..I am feeling a lot like Monica. Remember the episode where Rachel has to move out and Monica is angry that Rachel isn't sad about moving out. I am feeling the exact same thing, I've been living with these people for 22 years and now I am gonna leave and they dont seem to even care that I'd be gone..Hmmpff. ITS THE END OF AN ERA for crying out loud. Everyone is busy in their own world. Amma cant take one day leave for me. Sis is too busy with her exams. Dad seems to be busy planning some trip to Mumbai. Amooma(Grandma) is the only one who seems to care. But she always cared. Every other grandchild of hers claims that shes been partial towards me always..and I agree. So shes all worried that I wont be eating properly there and stuff..sweet of her. Others..hmpff..theyd know once i leave..theyd miss me so much ..mere ek chalak ke liye thadpeega..hmmpff..well who am i kidding..They may not even realise that im gone..sighh. Yesterday Rajiv was telling me.. the first week after you are gone they'd call u daily...after that..if you call them they start asking why did u call?:((
This probably would be my last post from my hometown...Hope this wouldnt be my last post ever! Though I am having a bad feeling about it..For once the company has blocked blogspot there.. Then if you dont blog for a long while you would start feeling lazy to blog and feel at a loss of topics to blog about. This is my 40th post i guess..outta which more than 15 were posted when i was jobless here during the last couple of months. That itself shows that once you start blogging you can go on and on..and once you feel outta touch..you wont feel like posting at all. I promise myself that i wont let it happen..that I wont stop blogging at any cost..even if its after a short interval..not that my readers are gonna be heartbroken hearing me leave either(you dont care too..hmpff:(( ). I wonder if i have any readers at all:D..apart from those innocent souls who accidently land on this page coz google took them here while searching for something which isnt even remotely connected to the contents of the page. If anyone is there >:D< you for going through my crazy posts...I'll be gone for a while.. Don't miss me too much,k???? Bidding adieu
your's not so joblessly

P.S: pray for me that i get posting back here:D
