Pluto responds

Got this from here...... ROTFLMAO! Pluto responds: 'Planets have feelings, What did I do to deserve this?' There I was, minding my own business, orbiting the Sun just like all the others. I got my little bit of atmosphere going, got a lot of ice. I was cool. I stayed out of everybody else's way, sometimes way out. Then some eggheads on that uppity third rock -- they think they're so hot because they have "life" -- went and decided I'm not a planet anymore. What's up with that? My life is hard enough as it is. First of all, it takes forever for me to do a lap around the Sun, and it gets really lonely out here. They tell me that part of the reason I'm not a planet anymore is that some of the time I sneak inside my buddy Neptune's orbit. What do they expect? I need somebody to talk to out here sometimes. And don't get me started about that mass of junk they call Charon that is supposedly my partner in non-planethood; Charon is dead to me. Th...

Makki...

Yesterday went to Makki...a place near Ponmudi. Its not classified as a tourist spot, so there were no one else but us. 7 of us clambered on to Unni's Omni by afternoon and went there. Anand had gone there a while back with his family. Even he had only the faintest idea. According to him, the area is a total forest. Oddly, there was'nt much of forestry. Lot of concrete houses till the last. Some forest! Was the dude on dope? :P Me and Sreenath were cramped on the rear seat of Omni (The two seats in the behind...) Thampi got his new name as well...Stone Man...or rather Stone Cold! :P No...not going to elaborate...he would kill me! In the classical way of going we went there by asking a dozen people on the way...Thankfully, all of them lead us to the right path... We were asking for the Makki temple...people would think we going to do some crazy stuff if we asked the place where we could lounge in the water... A nice excuse...but not valid in the afternoon time when Gods are usua...

Return of the Jedi (Revenge of the Sith?)

My friend Shyam had called me asked whether we could go to our school. To meet our teachers before we ended up getting on jobs with no real hope of free time. He had to leave for his company next week and probably today was the only available day for him. I agreed and another friend Rakesh also agreed to come. I skipped my Lab hours and Shyam picked me up from class. His mother was driving and she dropped us at LIC. We walked to the school and waited for Rakesh. Sensing he would be late, we decided to get some drinks and went to the cool bar. Have not been here in a long time. Finally went up the school. Profound changes to say the least. Most of the old buildings were demolished. Earlier on the classes used to in different blocks, spread across the campus. Now its one huge building where all classes are held. Saw the old Guard. He said he knew us but we had to permission to meet teachers during class time and told us to get it from the Principal. He was very good natured as he always ...

The little mermaid :P

You Are a Mermaid You are a total daydreamer, and people tend to think you're flakier than you actually are. While your head is often in the clouds, you'll always come back to earth to help someone in need. Beyond being a caring person, you are also very intelligent and rational. You understand the connections of the universe better than almost anyone else. What Mythological Creature Are You?

Beach Boys

As usual I was wasting my time away in the evening. Getting ready to watch WWE and catch some sleep. Then my friends came home and asked whether I wanted to come to Karikkakam Temple. A trip to beach afterwards was also in the offing. I accepted gladly. Any change from the regular routine is always welcome. So the four of us started out. First to the temple. Its fairly big one and I love it. Lot of trees...Lot of sand to play with...(Some of the temple officials were staring rather crossly at me while I was idly playing with sand...so had to cut that out! Boooo!) The nearby Naagar kaavu (Temple of the godly snakes) had a great atmosphere. Then we went to the beach. The beach road is fabulous thanks to Punj Lloyd. Strolled around the beach which was a little busy as usual. None of us felt any urge to play with water. Then had a tea and snacks. Memories flooded back to me...some bleak...some powerful... I have come to the beach just a couple of times (or was it once?) with my parents whe...
