spinning WHO!!







I'm jus bout done ..hang on!!
Yea..Free as a bird!!
Uh-haan,, with the gizmo designing ..haa!!feel like ive completed the work for this century!

As 'm here on my In-cube sabbatical sippin a cup of tea (yes tea thaan honest'aa!!) to write about WHO..several multiple and mutable thoughts occur in my mind, I'l pause a few and continue ...
"was born ignorant, society educated me!! "
spinning as in my blog is displayed open for 'WHO', to unravel the mystery message i try to convey. The WHO so established,,is neither devilish nor angelic. WHO - Does'nt exist but yet they do. And ergo this blog is entitled to "WHO ".

ouushhh..Its a huge takka-fore happening in my head..but howevr we all know that "who" is the puppet for my show...!
(wondering Who's WHO?!! need'nt!)

"i exist therefore i insist on anythin i do"!!
"WhO"
comes under the interrogation category,,but i am here to reverse it,,!! for me WHO is the answer i give to several questions that sprouts out ...
U <----- Who -----> Me
The WHO is the linker between U and ME.. is plural form of U and me !!
who may jeopardise every move ,, sabotage the rights to scribble my thoughts , mischievous or shut mouthed .. , real or fictional .. intangible yet legible or who so ever this may concern..!!
to hit it straight, As i kick start my blog writing , i dedicate this WHO to my blog readers!! ( unga aashirwadhathuthala...en blog subikshama irukaatum)
Puppet because i groom u to think my way ..make the thoughts flow ur way ,, !
I do not know who is 'WHO',as u the "who" is veiled by technology, but i do know ..there is a who to read my blog !

okie..!! i've implicitily communicated the "WHO" to WHO,,on both negative and a positive connotation.. but hey who cares..!!
awrite .. i got to get going..
and wat?? ..u 'Still could'n decipher who's who!!oouff ..Should i be more blatant to these 'WHO's(It's U...the known yet
mysterious BLOG READERS!!.)

will followup with a reasonably interestin topic in the "no think-clear zone"!!

me and its about's....


Me..!yea naanae..!!
thats exactly how i look when i am trying to think!! so most of the time i dont..
Yesterday :
The only second daughter.. born out of one in a million ..!!
grew up in the streets of chennai ..exclusively nick named as street sister ( athaan tamizh la - theru thangachi) !!
from what not to what not not ..!! (very unruly )...
known to hav contacts with the local don's of my area...smuggle mangoes from the neighbourhood..
smashin tomatoes on the passer by's ; hittin ppl with the cricket bats .. ; flick ppl who try to mess with me ; making mysterious phone calls ; gossip with the mammi's ; inventin new games to pass my 4 hrs of dead line to finish with the play time !
o ..studies was always ruled by the unknown side of my brain ,,!! schoolin was a compulsion for my mere existence..so jus did it from a 70 year old convent ..where i was tuned to know the status of my life ..rather forced to know :-) yeah my maths teacher declared me as a misfit to count in her student list .. i do not know my location so that includes my knowledge in geography ..! o plz..u wud hav guessed my history ..as i am trying to explain my "yesterday" pathetically enough..!
scrapped through my schoolin with a decent aggregate in my boards and managed to get a Bcom seat in a college i always wanted to be in ! the place where i learnt the art of education .. paved me the way to give a serious approach to " life " ..
i gained knowledge to implement ideas ,,
given the opportunity to expose my skills;
my thoughts were levelled;
met many talented ppl along the way..
every problem i met was squared away, havin been circled by a huge group of friends... !!
yes i was a bit notorious inspite, as playfullness is innate in me :p ..but a harmless one ..!
Today :
"Yesterday" was a narrow escape..that i slipped into "today"..a designer (so called creative) ..sittin here i realise i am not suitable to be called one ..!! howevr i am one!
lessons learnt: I made mistakes to learn who i am !!
if given a chance to journey back..i wud be the same !!
as a person i am gutsy and emotionally weak..memory like an elephant..!
i fear of love , i am devoid of depression , i am innocent about ignorance... i decide my decision, i listen to U and do my way, i hate me when i am ruled!! i appear matured when i have to ,,!
my family and my best friends are my destination!
Tommorow :
be more adventurous, less impatient, try hard to work hard, a marketing designer :-)

ahhhaa!! to explain me ..it took a lot of ur time to read it ..! jus kick off ur butt ..go do ur work!
ill come to " Who " in a short while ..!
