Invitation!!!
And there she was. A gorgeous looking girl. In a beautiful 'Pattupavada'. Cream colored with golden border. 'WOW!'. Thats the word that came out when I so her. (Friends, she is the most beautiful girl that I have ever met.Gorgeous! Girls, no offence.).She was standing there and looking at our auditorium.Jinu headed to her and asked 'Which year?' she said '1st year'.Jinu, 'Why are u standing here alone?' She said 'Waiting for my friends'. I asked, 'Whats your name?'. She said 'you are Vipin, right? We had met.' I, 'When?'. I was surprised.I glanced at Jinu.He was also surprised, or may-be angry at me. She said 'I met u last week. Priya introduced me to you.Don't you rember?'.
Now I remebered her.Priya, our batch mate, she had introduced me to this girl last week. But I didn't notice her as me and Shajeeb were heading to bus stop. Her name was Sahitha. I said to her, 'Sahitha, right?'. She 'Yes!'. I talked to her for sometime.she was standing there, waiting for her friends. All this time Jinu was simply standing witout saying a word.We said bye to her and we went back to our class. As soon as we entered, Jinu pushed me started calling all the bad words he knew.He was angry coz, I didnt tell him, that I know Sahitha earlier.
I explained to him all the episode of meeting her. He said, any way that girl is gorgeous. I declared to them,'I'm going behind this girl'. Jinu said,'ok, u carry on'. Now all boys of the class knew about this.
Jinu and pappu made plans on how I should proceed.First I have to gain her friendship.And When the time is right I can propose.By this plan I started to move.I would come early (our class starts @ 10 and hers @ 9:30) wait in for her in front of the college.And when she arrives I'l acompany her to the class. And in the afternoon I would roam around their class, so that i could get a glimpse of her or if lucky, I could talk to her.Now this became my routine.We even went to the temple, which was inside our college, together.Now I had a good friendships with her.
But had 2 problems,1).She calls me 'chetta' & 2).I had to speak atleast 100 words to make her speak two (Now thats how I learned Kathivekkal and thats how I became so talkative). So i consulted Jinu and Pappu & asked, when can I propose.Jinu said lets wait for some more time.By this time they also knew her. By their opinion she was of Jada type. So I decided to wait & I continued my routine.
One day when I was coming to colleg, I was little late, Sahitha called me from behind.She was standing there with a student of near by school. I went and she introduced to me, the boy, as her brother.Now that was something special.She had introduced to me her brother.Hmm. Its time to strike.When I told about this incident to my class-mates, they too agreed.
Now when-ever I met her, I wanted to propose.But, due to one or other reason, it got tackled. And one day, I decided, I'm gonna do this.I'm gonna propose to her today.That morning, I was there, in front of the college,waiting for her.She came.I went to her and wished her morning.Then the usual talks.When all that finished I made myself ready.She said 'hey, one more thing.I wanted to Invite you to my Engagement.Its on 5th of November.' I said 'Wow! Thats a great news.Where will be the function? And whats your would-be doing?'.She, 'my would-be is doing business. Function will be held at thrissur. Wont't you be coming?'.I said 'Thrissur? that too 5th? Its a working day and we can't miss the classes as Exams are near.And thrissur is so far! Sorry yaar, I can't come. But don't worry.I'l surely come for your marrige'. she, 'Ok'. I said 'And when is the Treatttt?'
(By this incident I got the nickname 'Kalyanaraman'. Which ever girl I go behind, they will get married soon!. What a theory? It was made by Anoop and Jinu. Idiots. .And you know something? I had proved this theory four times.. ;).. Hiihihihi)

Do you have 10 minutes?
Published by uttishthata July 6th, 2007 in APJ Abdul Kalam
The Former President of India, DR. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam's Speech in Hyderabad:
Why is the media here so negative?
Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths, our achievements?
We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?
We are the first in milk production.
We are number one in Remote sensing satellites.
We are the second largest producer of wheat.
We are the second largest producer of rice.
Look at Dr. Sudarshan , he has transferred the tribal village into a self-sustaining, self-driving unit. There are millions of such achievements but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures and disasters.
I was in Tel Aviv once and I was reading the Israeli newspaper. It was the day after a lot of attacks and bombardments and deaths had taken place. The Hamas had struck. But the front page of the newspaper had the picture of a Jewish gentleman who in five years had transformed his desert into an orchid and a granary. It was this inspiring picture that everyone woke up to. The gory details of killings, bombardments, deaths, were inside in the newspaper, buried among other news.
In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime.. Why are we so NEGATIVE? Another question: Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? We want foreign T.Vs, we want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology.
Why this obsession with everything imported. Do we not realize that self-respect comes with self-reliance? I was in Hyderabad giving this lecture, when a 14 year old girl asked me for my autograph. I asked her what her goal in life is. She replied: I want to live in a developed India . For her, you and I will have to build this developed India You must proclaim. India is not an under-developed nation; it is a highly developed nation.
Do you have 10 minutes? Allow me to come back with a vengeance.
Got 10 minutes for your country? If yes, then read; otherwise, choice is yours.
YOU say that our government is inefficient.
YOU say that our laws are too old.
YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage.
YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke. The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination.
YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits.
YOU say, say and say. What do YOU do about it?
Take a person on his way to Singapore . Give him a name - 'YOURS'. Give him a face - 'YOURS'. YOU walk out of the airport and you are at your International best. In Singapore you don't throw cigarette butts on the roads or eat in the stores. YOU are as proud of their Underground links as they are. You pay $5 (approx. Rs. 60) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of Mahim Causeway or Pedder Road) between 5 PM and 8 PM. YOU come back to the parking lot to punch your parking ticket if you have over stayed in a restaurant or a shopping mall irrespective of your status identity┘ In Singapore you don't say anything, DO YOU? YOU wouldn't dare to eat in public during Ramadan, in Dubai YOU would not dare to go out without your head covered in Jeddah.
YOU would not dare to buy an employee of the telephone exchange in London at 10 pounds (Rs.650) a month to, 'see to it that my STD and ISD calls are billed to someone else.'YOU would not dare to speed beyond 55 mph (88 km/h) in Washington and then tell the traffic cop, 'Jaanta hai main kaun hoon (Do you know who I am?). I am so and so's son. Take your two bucks and get lost.' YOU wouldn't chuck an empty coconut shell anywhere other than the garbage pail on the beaches in Australia and New Zealand
Why don't YOU spit Paan on the streets of Tokyo ? Why don't YOU use examination jockeys or buy fake certificates in Boston ??? We are still talking of the same YOU. YOU who can respect and conform to a foreign system in other countries but cannot in your own. You who will throw papers and cigarettes on the road the moment you touch Indian ground. If you can be an involved and appreciative citizen in an alien country, why cannot you be the same here in India ?
Once in an interview, the famous Ex-municipal commissioner of Bombay , Mr. Tinaikar, had a point to make. 'Rich people's dogs are walked on the streets to leave their affluent droppings all over the place,' he said. 'And then the same people turn around to criticize and blame the authorities for inefficiency and dirty pavements. What do they expect the officers to do? Go down with a broom every time their dog feels the pressure in his bowels?
In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job. Same in Japan .
Will the Indian citizen do that here?' He's right. We go to the polls to choose a government and after that forfeit all responsibility.
We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the government to do everything for us whilst our contribution is totally negative. We expect the government to clean up but we are not going to stop chucking garbage all over the place nor are we going to stop to pick a up a stray piece of paper and throw it in the bin. We expect the railways to provide clean bathrooms but we are not going to learn the proper use of bathrooms.
We want Indian Airlines and Air India to provide the best of food and toiletries but we are not going to stop pilfering at the least opportunity.
This applies even to the staff who is known not to pass on the service to the public.
When it comes to burning social issues like those related to women, dowry, girl child! and others, we make loud drawing room protestations and continue to do the reverse at home. Our excuse? 'It's the whole system which has to change, how will it matter if I alone forego my sons' rights to a dowry.' So who's going to change the system?
What does a system consist of? Very conveniently for us it consists of our neighbours, other households, other cities, other communities and the government.. But definitely not me and YOU. When it comes to us actually making a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along with our families into a safe cocoon and look into the distance at countries far away and wait for a Mr.Clean to come along & work miracles for us with a majestic sweep of his hand or we leave the country and run away.
Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to America to bask in their glory and praise their system. When New York becomes insecure we run to England When England experiences unemployment, we take the next flight out to the Gulf. When the Gulf is war struck, we demand to be rescued and brought home by the Indian government. Everybody is out to abuse and rape the country. Nobody thinks of feeding the system. Our conscience is mortgaged to money.
Dear Indians, The article is highly thought inductive, calls for a great deal of introspection and pricks one's conscience too┘. I am echoing J. F. Kennedy's words to his fellow Americans to relate to Indians┘..
'ASK WHAT WE CAN DO FOR INDIA AND DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO MAKE INDIA WHAT AMERICA AND OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES ARE TODAY'
Lets do what India needs from us.
Thank you,
Dr. Abdul Kalam

Salute To DADA
Salute to DADA
Sourav Ganguly. Dada. God of Offside. Prince of Culcutta.
Lot of People says Sachin as God Of cricket. Yes, he is a real maestro. But for me Dada is the GOD of Cricket. The man who changed the way how Indians played cricket. He came to Indian cricket team, in 1996. He would have been in the team long before, if he had a God Father. He came in the middle of lot of opposition from the media. Every body criticized dada and BCCI for taking him into team. But he soon proved that he is the One who deserves to be in the team more than any one else. Soon after 1999 world cup Azharudin quit as Indian team captain. Sachin took over. The worst time of Indian Cricket. Team was swaying in the Match-fixing scandal. Azharudin and Jadeja, who could have brcame Indian team captain where included in the scandal and they where send off the team. And then Sachin Quit as team captain. As he could not concentrate on his batting.
At this situation Dada took the post of Captain. Indian Team. Until then it was known as Tigers at home and Rats at foreign soil. There are lots of match winners. Who could single handedly take team to victory like sachin, dravid, kumble n dada himself. But it lacked a unit as team. With dada’s pressure on BCCI Team
With that there was no looking back. The series victory in
The down fall of Dada started when he had a spat with the new Indian coach Chappel. Dravid took over as captain. Soon it was proved that BCCI had taken a wrong decision. It lost the world cup. It didn’t even reached the Super Sixes. The media which had not left any stone turned against Dada now said Team
Now back to Dada. He was back in team. His best ever come back. He had the best averages. But stil they threw him out. And finally he was taken for Ind-Ausies series. And he announced his retirement after the series. He burst out against the selectors. He said, he doesn’t have to prove any more. He had proved more than enough. And what marvelous Last series he had. It saw the worst lose by
After the match Dada said, I’m happy that Team India is in safe hands now. Dhoni has the same spirit that Dada once had. And so the most successful captain that

A Cute Love Story...
"I meet her on one of those busy Mondays of mine on the train, one look at her and I just fell for her , pretty cute , extremely softspoken. She got on to train from Thrissur. She was travelling on ladies compartment. When I got down at Ernakulam station i checked the ladies compartment. I was searching inside the train, peeping into it, hopeing to get a glance of her. And I bumped into a girl in front of me n she almost fell down. I grabed her by shoulder. I said "SORRY" and looked at her face and she was the same girl.. I was speech less..i just stared at her face. She said its ok and took her bag, gave a sweet smile to me and went. I stood there looking at her. She was walking to the stairs. when climbing thesteps she looked back and was surprised to see me standing there and watching her. She again smiled and went on her way.she had the prettiest smile on earth and I know I had fallen for her.
The next monday saw her again this time she was in this pink dress. she looked so pretty with a little bindi…She smiled at me…I smiled back and started asking some of the stupidest questions, her name was…AVNI, she does up down every Monday . She is staying in a hostel at palarivattom.
RESTART!!!
