62 THE PANTHEON @ BIM


Do u wanna take a peek into the abode where gods (Read : Devils) live ?? Here is one.. The Pantheon 62 .. @ BIM.. This one is for u gals.. who taught me so many things in life..

July 2nd.. As I stepped into that room of mine.. with a long face.. that I didn know anyone in my room , thro orkut or facebook or any of the BIM communities formed before admission... I saw the names.. Vidya .. Jagadheswari (Hope i got her name right.. els she would burn me to soot with those chandramukhi-ish eyes of hers !!) .. Kasthuri.. OMG.. Look at the name.. sounds so old fashioned..

As i unloaded things in my suit case , I greeted the girl sitting on the bed .. "En peru Divya.. Unga peru ?? " She looked at me as if I had used unparliamentary words.. "Duh.. im talkin in tamil and not abusing u" , I told myself.. (Little did I realise that this chick wouldn have understood a word of what i said ).. She replied.. "En peru Vidya.. na Bangalore lendu varen " (Now I knw where Bombay-origin Taaamill heroines get their accent training from.. Vidu of course !!! ).. This gal has always amazed me with her sense of perfection in everything she does (Except of course her tamil ).. She calls kozhakattai as kolkattai.. and tries to adopt new hair styles but fails miserably :P Yet she has got this huge fan following in college.. Vidu has gone thro a lot in life @ BIM but has always had a non chalant attitude towards naysayers and rest.. Amazingly bold and straight forward..

Back to flashback.. I saw a girl with almost her entire family.. thatha paati chithappa chithi periamma peryappa onnu veettu whatever !!! Wel she landed in BIM and peeped into our house.. Introducing.. Jagadheswari Ramalingam .. As soon as I saw the disgusted look on her face , I thought she didnt like my room so I guided her to the next room where vidya stayed.. (She still curses me for it cause my room has a window from which the bru stall and rooms near it can be seen :P ) She made her mom clean the room and slept her way to glory on the first day itself.. Gal U ve taught me what work ethics is.. A person with a heart of gold , (Molten gold cause she tries to be nice to everyone.. ) but makes her dad carry uppu moottai and jumps on his lap (Poor man :( ).. Jaggu as we affectionately call her, likes doin crazy stuff like laughing non stop in the middle of the night wid MIS exam fast approaching .. She opens a packet of potato chips and shows it to the calendar in front of her which has pullaiyaar in it. (I don wanna mention what els she would show.. She ll remember what I told her when she reads this post).. A child at heart but a smart woman.. Im sure ull go places gal

July 2nd again.. A woman walks into the room.. I thought she has come for her daughter's admission.. Nay , not so.. She introduces herself... "Hi Im Kasthuri.. Im 25 (She carefully reduces her age and mentions it even before ppl ask her ).. May I know if the house has a Western Toilet ??" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ... What a worry !!! An amazing (old) lady who has been my everything at BIM.. An epitome of patience and goodness .. words fail me now.. Her first worry was that BIM rooms dont have a western toilet (Why shld this bother u kash :P) and that it doesn have an AC.. But now she loves the room the way it is.. (She keeps her room so dirty that a snake thought it was some garbage heap and entered the room ) She has taught me that friendship is about being selfless.. about caring more for others than about you.. She walked into my world whenever people walked out of it.. She makes people look up to her..
Whatever it is her kids would suffer cause she would make them google to read 'A for Aesthetic B for Bombastic' (A for Apple is for common people.. Duh !! Kash is a researcher)..A hardworker and a headbanger during exams :P Love u kash

The dim light room always seems bright with u gals around.. I really cant write the naughty things we have done together.. That only four of us knw.. So many emotions.. Love joy happiness pain fights shouting hitttin.. what not.. The journey has been amazing !!

62 is incomplete without the support of BOSS and LAKSHMI.. They have always been an integral part of it.. Thank u Boss and Thank u lakshmi.. These are 2 people who are our virtual room mates.. Their support and love has always kept us going

Hope we stay this way forever

PS : If Im admitted in the hospital after this , it means ppl damaged in this post have subjected me to physical assault with dangerous weapons..

An Ode to Ratnam - Rahman - Dil Se

D il se/ Uyire  – Some movies are conceived  well ahead of their times and the makers show conviction in attempting something that has never been thought of before. While such films fail miserably in the box office, time and audience bestow a haloed nostalgia upon them for eons to come. Dil se is a deliciously layered dish topped with love in the backdrop of terrorism. The movie released in an era where romance was best imagined in international locations or on mustard fields and Ratnam gave it a completely new dimension One lead character – from the heart of India – its capital city and another from a politically – socially sidelined – literally and figuratively a cornered state – one of the 7 sisters – Assam, Ratnam pens their story which traverses through 7 stages of love, as referred to in Arabic literature - attraction, infatuation, love, reverence, worship, obsession, and death. How can one miss out the beauty of his trusted lieutenant and the embodiment of musi

Moosina Muthyalu !!!

It’s been a while since I put my pen to paper. For years now, its been the keyboard and an empty word document ,with which I begin to write. Sometimes its about things that people ask me to and most times its what I find easy to develop on (Laziness!!!). However, it was different this time. I plugged on my ear phones and pressed the play button, as the song sunk into me. The words – the meaning and beneath it, the soul of the song! I found myself looking for a pen and paper almost immediately.   “Moosina Muthyalake” the song which inspired me to pen this post, describes the beauty of the Goddess from the eyes of the great poet Tallapakka Annamacharya fondly known as Annamayya. This poem has an interesting flow, describing the aptness of each adornment of the Goddess Alamelumanga/Lakshmi. What is beautiful is that it applies to any woman, seen through the eyes of an admirer. Unlike many of his compositions, Annamayya does not give away the gist of the poem in the first stan

My land and The petrichor that made me realise it

Well I have to tell u what made me write this.. I was walking along the garden in my house when i was 14 years old.. The first drop of rain fell on the parched ground , after a rather cruel summer.. I looked at the ground below me.. The water drop that fell was absorbed at that instant..The parched ground drank it like a child which drinks a glass of water given to it immediately after a tiring game of football , with a bag of clothes :) Tip tip tip , slowly one drop after another. Mother earth drank to her hearts content.. I could then feel something Mother Earth not only drank water but also thanked the heavens in her own sweet way.. Well this is what she did.. A pleasant fragrance.. It sent a sense of warmth and a feel of heaven in my blood stream.. THE PETRICHOR.. It was her way of thanking the rain god.. It smelt like heaven.. Perhaps the smell cast a spell on me.. I jus bent down and rubbed my nose on the ground.. I then rest my cheek on it.. For a minute I didn know what i was d
