I am That

Students caught inbetween IPL and exam season reminds me of one of my exam nightmares. Eventhough there are many.. this one is special as I always say, situation turned in my favour. (Over நினைப்பு  தான் !!). Being the daughter of a banker who gets transferred every 3 to 4 years , I have studied in 8 schools. Studying in different schools has its own plus and minus... ok ok .. I won't lecture you on that by the way one major minus was that you have to build your image of a good student from scratch with every new school because teachers usually go by word of mouth from previous year teachers and determine their 'Gems' for the next academic year. Impress பண்ணனும்  இல்லைபண்ணலைனா சின்ன  matterku எல்லாம் ஆப்பு  veppanga  !!.. So being or acting like a good student forms a protective cover and that will give you 100% scoldings proof protection. Quarterly Exams were about to begin. The class teacher dictated the exam time table...

This is a famous list written by Pamela Redmond Satron for Glamour Magazine in the year 1997 and last updated in 2005. This list was circulated as chain email with many claiming it as their own  and at one point reached the author's inbox as well. It is a MUST READ list for any woman who is 20,30 or even 60 !!! Every woman should have: 1.One old boyfriend you can imagine going back to and one who reminds you of how far you’ve come. (Even if you don't want to) 2.A decent piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in your family. 3.Something perfect to wear if the employer or man of your dreams wants to see you in an hour. 4.A purse, a suitcase and an umbrella you’re not ashamed to be seen carrying. 5.A youth you’re content to move beyond. 6.A past juicy enough that you’re looking forward to retelling it in your old age. 7.The realization that you are actually going to have an old age—and some money set aside to help fund it. 8.An e-mail address, ...

Another train incident !!!.. No this one doesn't involve me and I was just a spectator. A family boarded the train and occupied the seats opposite to us. The father pushed the luggage under the berth and the rest (mother , son of 10 or 12, daughter around 8 ) took their seats. I suppose the father was in his late 30's and gave an impression that he occupied a good post in a top notch IT company. As soon as he settled in his seat , he started asking (or should I say shooting) questions to his son. The son had a neutral expression and started answering the questions one by one. The questions were thrown from varied fields of interest (of the father). The question answer session was more of like dad flaunting his GK skills rather than the kid. Train start ஆனவுடனே போட ஆரம்பிச்ச மொக்கை ... போடறாரு போடறாரு ஒரு one hour ... blood  same blood case தான்  !!! Poor boy .. he was just trying to answer right or wrong ignoring all the glar...

This happened last year in UK when we had to travel to London by train from Huddersfield. We booked the ticket in advance as it has discount offers attached to it. There was no direct train at 7:00 in the morning so we had to reach Wakefield and take a connecting train to London. The total journey is around 2 and 1/2 hours so we would reach London by 9:30 AM. We reached Wakefield by 7:25 AM bang on time. Our connecting train was at 7:35 in another platform. மூட்டை முடிச்சு எடுத்துக்கிட்டு we reached the other platform. There was a train standing there and it was about to leave. It was train to London. இதுல என்ன பெரிய விஷயம் தானே யோசிக்கறிங்க !! அங்க தான்  விஷயமே !!!! I asked the guard standing near the first class coach for our coach and he said " Hurry up lady , the train will leave now, get in here and you can walk inside to your compartment ".... என்னை யோசிக்கவே விடலை .... I pulled my hubby and son in to the train and the door was closed. Only then my better half t...
