Vacation is Over!!!!..... Mummyyyyyyyyyyyy :(

Waaaaaaahhhhhhh…….. wwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!.. I don’t want to go to school!!.. waaaaaaaahhhhhhh……


My days of lazing around are coming to an end!!.. and my back is gonna be on the grinder from next week!!....

Well, I was having a gooooood time at home being busy with nothing but eating and sleeping. Man!!.... You really start looking forward to vacations once you start working!!.. and pursuing studies after you work for a couple of years... after you lose touch with writing notes and all that... after that break.. oooohh.. It is the second hardest thing to attempt in life!!…It closely follows pursuing your studies otherwise!!.. he he..

Hmm… so Yours Truly is heading to IIM Bangalore on June 25th…Hope everything goes fine.

So, If someone happens to read this… please close your eyes and say “God!!.. Please help this Cherian do ssssomething there…!!”.. Thank you.

Ok. Will be back blogging after I settle there...(Here, I am presupposing that someone cares!!)

Global Warming - In Vogue?!?

I was watching Devil's Advocate on CNN-IBN the other day. Lt Col Kirorilal Bainsla, the Gurjjar leader was Karan Thapar's (I admire that guy!!.. Man! He screws every guy's happiness on that show... Great Going Mr.Thapar) prey this time. The questions were razor sharp and I must say Kirorilal Bainsla was doing a good job in putting up a solid face. I like the show for its anchor. Sometimes you can really see him corner those politicians and see them try to wriggle out of it. Like once there was an interview with MDMK leader Vaiko. Man!!.. that was half an hour of plain Comedy. Vaiko possibly didn't understand many words that the anchor used and in the end came out looking really bad. I was watching the show with my room mate and we laughed heartily at every answer. If that Interview could have been used during election campaigns, then the MDMK leader would have look for "The Bihar means" to get votes. Such Blunders!!!.. Anyways, coming back to what prompted me to write this one....

The show was progressing well when it suddenly took the inevitable irritating Commercial Break. There was a scene of Ice Melting and suddenly John Abraham comes on screen to say "Our planet is facing a big danger..blah blah"...Then Abhishek Bachchan "Global Warming ..blah blah.. danger.. blah blah".. Then Bipasha Basu "blah blah.. blah blah....[;)]." Lara Dutta "Save our Planet... blah blah".. By this time there is this good build up about Global Warming, its dangers and appeals to save our planet. Then comes our Amitabh Bachchan himself and says "Avoid Global Warming.. Do Something cool today.. Watch the IIFA Coolathon!"...

Whhhhhhhaaaaaaattttt????!!!!????

.
.. Yes that is correct.. He said "Watch the IIFA Coolathon".. This was a trailer for the telecast of an award function held a couple of weeks back. I thought .. what crap... They took such a serious issue and made a mockery of it!!??!!

Now, I really am not aware if the IIFA Awards this time had anything to do with Global Warming Awareness or something.. If it does not.. then well.. What can I say.. the guy who made the Trailer has nuts where his brains should have been... Countries are spending billions of dollars for its awareness. Scientists are working towards avoiding a catastrophe... and this is what we can do???.. Make a trailer for some worthless award function??..

C'mon... I feel this could have been avoided... and that we are responsible enough to do something better than this..

Anyways, now I sincerely hope that this years IIFA awards has something seriously related to Global Warming... Otherwise it would be so .... so....... what...stupid!!(being decent here).. Right???

Clambered On Board... almost lost it!!!

Hmmmm.....

So arrived... finally!!.. Phew.... well I have been thinking for a long time to do this... to start my own blog.... First I thought what I would write... then I thought would anyone wanna read what I write..... (eh??.. How stupid!!.. So who do u think u are Cherian??... Orhan Pamuk??.. thinking about readership and all???)

Finally when I made up my mind and got up to create a blog... Blogger asked me for a name for what would be my blog...


eh???... Name??..Whats in a name???

and the help said "Please have a meaningful name"... so I deleted the "shdgfhsgd" that I had keyed in... closed the window... kicked the computer table... and disposed the idea off.....

Then I got busy with CAT and all... forgot all about this....

Well, today again this blogging thing stung me...This time I was intelligent... thought of a name and url n all... entered... WTF??!!??... Blogger told me "Sorry this name is taken"...


...... ok don't lose hope Cherian....

... 2nd attempt... sorry taken... 3rd.... taken..... eh??.. Is something wrong with Blogger??!!..

...Then I saw that Ray of Hope... Blogger was telling me "Please try something like Cherian-what you want"...

hmmmm...... wogay... that is the way...


... so I started thinking in that direction.... and what you see now is what struck me then....

.... Lucky...for the computer...
If Blogger had said "taken" this time... i would have pushed the monitor down... plucked out the Start button from the CPU...like if it was its eye.... and banged my head on the key board...
..... Frustrating it was.....

... Here Cherian was... waiting to unwind……… and in the end he got all worked up....

I guess I am a late entrant... Very late entrant ... anyways... now it should not be a problem....

I have managed to clamber on board... so now I guess I should be able to unwind...

…………………………………………..Hopefully...........................................
