Hmmmm

So I created this blopspot few months back but never put in anything except the first post..Was it that I was bogged down by work.. no..never.. Just that I forgot it..May be because writing is never in my blood.. I hate..really hate.. writing down too much.. I always used to score less in languages and subjects in which you are suppposed to write pages and pages of rubbish to gain marks.. I always used to just answer to the point.. If you see my answer papers, whereever possible I would have written the answers aas numbered list or as brief as possible.. I still rememeber my chemistry professor asking me to elaborate my answers during my pre-degree days.. He said.. you write just enough to answer the question.. not a word more.. That was 8 years back.. Even now, the moment somebody asks me to document something, I start hating my job.. Now you review it and ask me to beautify it, I just want to quit the job...

And then documentation, thats all that I am doing for the past three-four days.. Writing docs on anything and everything that needs to be transitioned to others as I decided to take on a new project.. But thats the reason why I started out blogging again..

Life is in a chaotic state.. Shifted out the house I was staying and settling into a new house.. Office shifted to a new site.. and me shifting to a new project.. and preparing for my engagement..Oh man.. its all changes around.. But as my fiance says.. thats why we say life is beautiful.. Yeah.. that true.. whats life without all these changes.. You need changes to keep yourself going.. Still most of us hate changes..

So I said, I hate writing.. then what about reading?? Do I love it .. yes.. Do I really love it.. reading anything and everything.. Well..No.. I love reading fiction..But non-fiction.. I had to read textbooks to pass my exams .. now to make sure I get my hikes, it is even more imp that I read the processor architectures and instruction sets and whole lot of other stuff.. So I just read what is necessary and anything that is not an absolute necessity is a perfect no..no..

So what am I reading.. I read both Malayalam and English fiction.. Now dont ask me for a favourite author or favourite book.. I love most of the books that I have read.. Recent books that I read are Yanthram by Malayattor, The Speech of Angels by Sharon Mass, Oru Deshathinte Katha by S.K.Pottekad..  I love all these books.. Currently I am reading Neermathalam Poothappol by Madhavikutty..

I prefer to own the books I like.. I buy most of the books that I have wanted to read for a long time.. If I like a book that I borrowed and read, I make it a point to buy it.. When I was young, I had an ambition of owning a library.. Then when my father started restricting the money I spend on fiction, it became one of the motivating factor for me to study well and get a good job.. to buy all the books that I want.. Now that I have a job which pays me well, i dont get all the time I want to read :(  Today morning I was not feeling like coming to office.. Just wanted to sit and finsh reading the book.. But cant afford to do that.. So came to office.. And see what I am doing.. blogging.. Let me stop this for the time being and get back to work...

 

Locked inside the house???

This was actually written in response to a fellow bogger's blog on getting locked outside one's house...

Its equally or even more frustrating (or funnier??) to have yourself locked inside the house.. It happened to me recently.. I was sharing my house with four other girls.. each of us had a key to the house and I always keeps mine inside my purse so that I dont misplace it often and have to go searching for it.. But I had a roommate who always misplaced all of her belongings..Talking of her carelessness, she left her watch on the teapoy among the newspaper and then searched all house and office for it.. weeks later we found her watch from among the old newspapers stacked on a rack.. In another instance, she made all of us search the entire house for her lost badge and even got a new badge, when all the time she had it in her laptop bag..
So coming back to the story of me getting locked inside the house..this was one unlucky day when I misplaced the key and she didnt.. that day morning, one of my roommate left home locking the door while the rest of us were sleeping..After sometime, a guy from the nearby shop came to our house and I opened the door for him with my key.. When I went in to get the money to pay him, I left the key in the keyhole itself and happily forgot about it...Now I was in a hurry to get ready and reach office by 9 as I had a meeting.. As I was getting ready, my roomie left home.. I asked her not to lock the house but she didnt hear it and locked it.. oh no.. with my key that I had left in the key hole.. she thot, as usual, a key on the key hole must be hers as noone else can be as careless as her.. 5 minutes later when I came to open the door, i realized thar I had left it in the keyhole and that it is gone..I knew I was locked inside.. I tried calling up her to ask her if she has the keys inside or if she can come back.. but to add more damage, she didnt realize her phone ringing for a long time.. By the time she realized it and picked it up, she was pretty far from home.. Then she had to come all the way back home and let me out and by then my meeting was over...
