Half Baked Stuff....

I am just having a nice weekend. Nothing productive other than washing 4 sets of clothes. I am using this Lenovo Laptop of my cousin. A wonderful invention I can say. Yesterday happened to meet couple of relatives after a long time. Had a nice time listening to them talk and I doing the old part of family ritual giving a massage in the head. Last night when I along with athai were chating with the cousin, I happened to hear this term "Tanjavur Vaai chavadal". He had put this in a decent simpler manner that the people talk with just a little knowledge and project themselves as doctorates in the subject. I and athai had to argue not to generalise evrey Tanjorian to possess the habit. In the process I could atleast get this point only pure Tanjorians (people born and brought up in Tanjore Dist) are capable of this trait and the mud-bloods or the people who have roots at Tanjore but were raised elsewhere need not necessarily posses the trait. "Exceptions" were also discussed. So what does this mean to me now?? Nothing just that we had to wait for the clothes in the washing machine to spin dry and finally I and Athai dry them out at mid-night. End result I had to save my own skin to disprove I dont possess the quality inspite of being a Tanjorian. People indeed are not very happy with the Tanjore Iyers. Off late I feel bad projecting myself as an Iyer and even more as "Tanjore Iyer". Nothing that i feel bad about it just that i dont want people to presume I being clanish. :-)

Women's day!!!

Back to square one. Women's day was celebrated here at a Project level thing. It was supposed to be fun. And fun meant to humiliate women. The guy who conducted was my batchmate and few more guys. There were couple of rounds conducted. 1 was the quiz round. what did it contain??? it was about cooking, aishwarya rai, miss worlds and miss universes.... So does this mean women are capable of only this. I wanted to ask the guy what the hell were we doing in the office. I can pretty well forsee the answer when I am to ask him this question at the Batch-Lunch: "This was meant to be fun and no harm intended". The other rounds were of marking bindhi on Pameala's Forehead! (Sickest thing to do!) The ramp walk???? Craziest thing i can say!!! Now I cant come to a conclusion that men all think alike "Women are dumb". I can just imagine now men asking me "so what do you expect to do on a Women's day?" I just dont get the point here. Its just a day celebrated same as "Valentine's day" and so many other days. May be something revolutionary can be done other than fun. Get-together and let men know how bad women feel when they behave cheap (not always though). About eve-teasing and better stuff to do other than humiliating women around in the name of fun. This is written on a lighter note i can say ;-)

Wish men could evolve better and start considering women in a better sense other than Cooking machine and a Cinema-freak!

My space

Off late I have become very fond of writing(since monday!) Why??? well I just wanted to have a track of myself and things happening around me. I have started to have heavy memory loss. And on top of all my work-pressure has forced me to not stop and think of what i was and what i was doing? High time i started blogging. maybe daily a few lines when i end the day should do!

Its 11.50 and I am blogging!! Last month this time i was totally showered with work but now i feel relatively free. Today is women's day and i had wishes from everyone here at the workplace. Fine not bad. I was also given such great welcome when people saw me in a saree. Good people know how to appreciate. But seriously i dont feel comfortable in a saree. Maybe thats because I am not used to it. This is what I have been excusing everytime I tie a saree. My aim for the day is not to use the Spare salwar i have got to the office. :P Afterall the efforts put in tying the saree and grooming myself should be well rewarded.

My Saree is kind of unique here as this is simple and elegant ( I can be proud of you mom!) All the other sarees here are of course with some work done on it. Mine is simple but good. Proffesional i can say and not "Party Wear" types. Other than this I have no work today. Seriously i wish i could go and ask for some work but just that i have decided to remain passive for the day. Afterall its " Womens' " day. That doesnt make me believe in the concept but i can say its just an excuse to celebrate the "Womenhood"!!
