So finally I took out my car (technically my brother’s car) today after three weeks of intense driving classes and if I can say so myself I drove pretty well! Although I did have a teeny weeny problem with the reversing part. I also had a fully present audience consisting of my watchman, my maid, my maid’s son and my neighbour’s driver who helped me take out the car. And finally I had to convince my mother to come out with me for a drive and boy! did she make a fuss!! She said all her du’a’s (prayers) and she got in with so much persuasion. And when i started to drive she was impressed!

I was in the heights of my driving happiness when i realized that the fuel tank said ’empty’. Unfortunately I had to stop. But i decided there is always tomorrow!

And the next!

And the next!

And he next!

But to be totally honest I did bump the car when i was taking a reverse. I bumped into this stupid cane chair near the stupid gate where some stupid person had kept it and ultimately i broke the chair and the car was a teeny bit damaged. But the damage is negligible.

Anyways, tomorrow I’m going to fill the tank and take it out on an actual drive. If my brother is reading this he must be regretting leaving his car behind! Heheheee!!! Too late brother!

I have just realized that its been almost five months since I last wrote. And i must say my life has improved considerably since the last five months. I visited a country I had never been to before, wrote an Anna University exam for the first time in my life, met people I never knew existed before, saw movies that were never released in India and slept like Iv never slept before. Although it may seem like quite a lot it is’nt because I spent most of these four weeks at home sleeping. There is nothing in the world more satisfying than sleeping for a long time. The only person who never agreed with me on this was well, my mother who thinks sleeping till midday is the biggest sin! But now she has given up on me. She knows its hopeless and I do feel bad for her. I have still got exactly one day until college reopens. I can’t wait! Home was fun and everything but college is just a little better. One year has already passed by and how quick! Time does fly. But i guess keeping up to it as it passes by is what life is all about.

So yesterday was Valentines Day and the city was practically covered with red and white.So what is the significance behind these colors you ask?I have NO idea.I think I am a part of very few people who think that Valentines Day is pure crap.Really.. one randomly chosen day to tell someone that you love them, not so romantic i tell you.And who even remembers St.Valentine?The dude after whom this day is named.And i dont even know what he did to get this popular.
The top three worst things bout V Day are-
1.Every shop has mannequins wearing red and white clothes.
2.Love songs everywhere a week prior to V Day.
3.The flood of red balloons and teddy bears holding hearts covering every square foot of the city.
The whole idea of V Day is to make people spend endless amounts of money on very trivial things.And they make it look like it is a sin if you are single on Valentines Day.Hell, almost every one of my friends and I were single then and we are single now and it has not affected our lives in any way.Frankly speaking I dont think having a relationship with somebody at this stage is gonna last forever.
Falling in love is more than Boyfriend-Girlfriend and “Lover”.Its about having something deeper, more meaningful, mature, permanent and more understanding.And its all about eye contact my friend said.I agree with him 100% cos wen you look into a persons eyes you convey more than you would if you got them a hundred roses and teddy bears.A single rose given with right intention at the right time is the best gift ever.Atleast according to me.Personally I would not like to make a whole spectacle out of V Day with cards and gifts and all that jazz.It really makes me sick.
Everyday should be special.You should fall in love with the same person every day of your life.That is what makes any relationship special, not any of this V Day crap. Yet many fail to get the point and I dont think they ever will because their aim is to show others how much they love that special person. They make a public spectacle out of the whole thing and the point is lost.
Still, till the day people like me exist I dont think Love will ever be lost! =)

p.s- If u agree with me on this, then “HI5!!*
And if u dont, then “I Dont Care”.
