Just missuhhhhh

All characters in this blog are not fictious and even indirect references to them is intended. And if you are brainy enough you would understand that by replacinng the first letter by last so on you would get their real identity. If u are not better do as told in the previous sentence.

This blog is about the wayanaad trip that Sep 12th 2005 training batch went. Wow what a batch we have. Now lets come to the matter. After roaming around in wayanaaad and doing trekking n stuffs we finished our trip taking a shower(If thats what u call ) in a waterfall. We I mean around 8 of us decided to get into the water and enjoy the elixir of life. Only Theehcus and Dnivara and I knew swimming others did not know. There was a spot in the waterfall where the water was just about 6.5 feet and just about enough for an average Indian to drown. So what did i do I tempeted Urith and Ahteeniv to join me in that spot. They fell for the temptation. Suddently an idea crossed me why should i hold on the Urith and Ahteeniv and why not just leave them and let them drown. But dunno for what reason I held on to them and they are still living to tell u stories about wayanaad trip. Had I been lillllllllll mischeivious result would have been different. Hmmmm thats what friendship can do to you...

Is it good to be bad in Sports???

First let us do character analysis in Ricky Thomas Ponting the current captain of the best side in the world. He is not a nice guy by an strech of imagination. He plays cricket within the rules meaning he uses sledging, swears at the oppositon, had a drinking problem and got a blow on this face when he misbehaved in a put. But he still is the best player in the world and leads the best team in the world.

Now Stephen Roger Waugh. He told once "If you have an opposition down make sure that they are down and they disintegrate both physically and mentally". He had even the guts to say to Herschelle Gibbs when he dropped his catch "Mate you have dropped the 1999 WC" and went on to win it. Even he was not a nice guy.

Then comes Shane Keith Warne. He is the greatest leg spinner of our time. But still he is also not a nice guy. He has a bookie scandal against his name, had phone sex with a british female, he is divorced. But still he can outhink even the greatest of the contemprary batsmen. Even he was not a nice guy.

For that matter most of the Aussies are tough. Meaning they have the killer instinct and dont give the oppostion second chance.

Now let us come to good ones. Adam Gilchrist, he had the guts to walk when he was playing against SL 4 yrs ago in a semifinal. The umpire gave him not out but he walked. Very unlike an Aussie but he did it and continues to do it. He was and is a nice guy and he still is a great performer.

And Roger Federer. Have you seen him swear or even show emotions on court. I have not. He is a nice guy a very nice guy and is the best tennis player by far. Nadal is good only on clay but Federer is unbeatale in every other surface except clay and that too only by Nadal. Federer is a nice guy and rules the world. Had he used gamesmanship no one know what he could have acheived or probably he would not have. No one knows!!!

So in sport even if you are a Nice Guy or a Bad Guy does not matter. What matter is the killer instinct, never say die attitude and switch on your concentration when required and switch off when not required. Hence I would conclude that Being bad does not determine your success or even vice versa. First you need talent then comes these trivial attributes

Sutta Mil heee gaya

When i was a kid i was told by my mom that smoking is Evil it kills u and Kills others. So i did not respect ppl who smoked and told me tat y dont u try!!! Then when i came to college one of close frnz told me tat he had seen his dad smoke since he could remember and he hated the smell of smoke itselft!!!
Similarly many of my frns did not smoke so i was blessed in the sense tat my lungs were not affected with rotten tobbacco smoke!!! Then came the mass exodus, whoever said smokin is bad became a regular smoker and glorified it even my closest frnd( whose dad used to smoke). But i dint budge i held on to my principles...
Then i came to office... Here everyone i mean the male species smokes yaaaar... But i still held on... Then after two years of not restraining myself i gave in... 'Change is Constant' yaar... Wat say??? My buddy who sits next to me introduced it to me... The first cigerette i smoked i fell flat near the tea shop near my work place.

Then came the resolution i ll smoke once a month, Then it became onde a week , Then once a day, then thrice a day, Then a 20 pack a day, Then 10 a day, Now 6 a day.... Hoooo wat a transformation.

The adv of Smoking
1) Great way to build contacts. U get to meet so many ppl in smokin zones. U can exchange a lot of ideas.

The Disadv of Smoking:
1) U ll spoil your health and health of loved ones if they are near to u when you happen to smoke.

Dont Generalize


Hmmm Yesterday I was bikin at Night as usual. At night Chennai is Beautiful tat too if u r on a bike and friend in the pillion(I would prefer a GF but should wait for a while i guess). And suddenly my bike stopped; the reason no petrol!!! We were stuck near Anna University. We needed to walk 3 km to the nearest Petrol Station.

Then Came an Auto Wala. I thought he ll be a usual Auto wala who overcharges and the 'Times of India' was around 1:45 Am. I told him I would give him only 30 bucks. He said since it is an Emergency he ll do it for freee. I thot it was just a gimmick. Then we went to the Gas Station(Getting used to US lingo he he) Parking my bike there only near AU and asking my frnd (Vignesh) to safeguard my hard earned property. The gas station ppl dint even have a bottle. I saw one of the 1 litre water bottle and said that i would buy it and use it to fill petrol. the gas station guy said Beleive me or not "This is not for sale". I thought Watttttttt neeeway.

The Autowala had a bottle with him and he requested the Gas Station meano to fill it up for 20 bucks. He obeyed him immediately. Ppl do respect Auto walas. Then we went back and filled my bike with it and he waited till it started. I offered him 100 bucks and told him u Deserve it. He said i made a deal with you and wont break it and returned 70 bucks. I pinched myself; Had i been in his position i wd have jolly well taken the money since i wd have felt i deserved it. Then I asked his name(Now i am rakin my memory cells but still his name dosnt seem to strike. I am bad at remembering common name; only uncommon names stick to me espppp bcos mine is and some prolly 1,2 3 ... of my frnz are; And Btw he lives in Madipakkam). I offered him a cigarette and told him it is a foreign brand Malboro Lights. But he said he doesnt smoke or drink. I was petrified to say the least chennai auto wala not takin extra money, no bad habbits and the way with which he dealt with ppl. Tooooo goooooooood.

So pl dont generalize!!!
