The rose that was dying(probably suicide)in my balcony is to be given new life @ my friend's place. It will be placed in the ground where it belongs rather than be in a plant pot. This rose, when watered refused to drink it up and chose to get rid of if all by the means of the holes at the bottom of the pot. Serves it right to be dying of dehydration and heat-exhaustion from the hot summer sun.

Despite the evidence and rumors, I am Not a brown-thumb or against plants(YEAH! whatever that is!!). It is just that I choose to be a Green-Thumb to particular plants and not to others! That's all.

I tried putting on Mehndi the other day and even tho' it did not turn out to be as finely crafted as I expected it to be, it looked not 2 bad...for a first-time self applicator. Only thing was that the lines were not as fine as they should have been. but Meh! I say, just like Siren does - who (incidentally) has not been seen lately in the cyber-world. wonder wassup wid her!

My job-search so far has been fruitless. I hope to harvest some salary in the near future, if not ASAP.

My dream/perfect life (the only things lacking was me not having my dream job..or any job 4 that matter) is abt to come to an end, with my Hubby boy returning soon. Past 12 days have been bliss (well, except for the spider) because of the following reasons:

* Absodoodley no cooking whatsoever
* Watching endless # of movies
* Staring @ the TV until I fall asleep
* Going anywhere I please, @ anytime I please
* Not having to do grocery shopping
* Eating anything I want to, anytime I want to
* Not having to hear abt how the whole bed gets occupied by me
* Endless surfing on the net – no time restrictions or “it’s late – get some sleep”

Basically I think it's about having responisibilities....NONE!!! or not being controlled by other factors which are contributed to the equation by being married and sharing the house with a person. Don't get me wrong, I love being with him. I think this "bliss/dream life" is a remnant of how I wanted to be when I grew up. I am glad I got to experience it, for now I know how it would have been, and not wonder anymore.

I sure am glad that Hubby boy is getting back...He can take care of the spider and/or other insects and be my Knight in Shining Armour.

Woohoo! I got maa..aa..ii..l!I got maa..aa..ii..l!! what's so great abt it u ask? It is from Nira. Those of u who don't remember my ramblings abt her, see >>this<< and >>this<<.

She is in Russia, and according to her...living!(as in existing). well, having heard abt the Russian winter, I sure will be happy to be NOT dead. even tho' I know that she did not mean that kind of existance.

Hubby boy is in Norway @ the moment. atleast he's escaping the hot summer sun. it burneth the skin!

Christmas was such a non-event. I hope the fireworks are good on NY eve.

Paranoia seems to be growing on me lately. After the spider episode I am quite the bit hesitant to even step into the bedroom. Yeah! Yeah!! I hear the question; Answer :- On the sofabed.

My! My!! what a wonderful world of parents we live in. Geez! (No offence Paree!)

Went to this particular 31st day ceremony for a baby. almost everyone there was carrying around an infant - so much so that I did not know who was whose!! Anyhoo, they - the moms started talking abt collicks, sleepless nights and other matters of the kind. I did not know what on earth they were on abt - except that they were talking abt the kids. They even asked me when I was going to have my babies. One even suggested that they might visit my "bambino" in ten months' time. The nerve! (Oh! well...how were they to know abt my twins in November!).

Who ARE these people? They are the ppl who ask you( endless stream of questions) - "so-when will we see ur baby", "xx years since u married? no kids yet?where's ur husband?maybe I should have a talk with him" <-- YEAH! maybe then he'll tell u 2 shut up!!

This thing of getting caught in the middle of "infants,kids & I've-had-enough-would-u-please-shutup-now" seems to happen to me at EVERY get together. is this some sort of conspiracy? actually I am not the only person experiencing this exruciating (one way) conversations, there is a another soul which shares it with me. unfortunately for me she was not there today!!!

LIFE!!!

It seems to have rained the past two nights, I have been very slow realizing it.

well, on the 17th night( the day I posted my last blog) , after having finished my activities I prepared for bed. went into the bedroom...and what do I see? a HUGE ( atleast 8cm across) spider on the wall( now I know why Siren hates them sooooo much)

Now, I wanted it out of my bedroom, I wanted it dead. I was too petrified to go near it. and what if the spider "jumped" on me, while I was attempting murder?hmmm...what to do? I cleared the area so I could run off without tripping over any obstacles that were in the way. then I took some time studying the spider and planning my attack. I decided on contact-film/paper and a shoe. so armed with a large piece of contact paper on a shoe (the sticky side facing out ofcourse) i slowly walked into the room. by this time I was shaking with fear and paranoia. But I crept forward...practicing what I was going to do. I got within an arm's length and with my eys tightly shut threw/smacked the shoe on the wall and/or the spider. it got stuck in it (talk abt a blind hit!!!). I thwacked away until it's limbs were broken and it was no more a moving creature..but just a corpse. And I was relieved...but still shaking!. even after it was dead I did not want to sleep in the bedroom so I had to make do with my sofa bed!!!

( To be sung in Hooray For Humphrey tune)
Hooray for contact..Good Ol' contact..Hooray for the great contact-film/paper

Had the christmas get2gether @ Paree's. Sarah couldn't make it. Presents included a book on Japanese Cuisine...even tho' I am not a "cooking" sort of person. watched Asoka. Kareena Kapoor has joined my line of favourite actresses.

Okies, going to watch a movie until this download I have started completes. ever so S....L....O.....W!!!!

Well, my baby friend has been slow in his attempts to walk. but he stands up holding on to things. apparently he hauled himself onto the sofa and was watching TV safely cuddled in a corner of the sofa. how cool is dat? (Also known as "frightening" to his parents)

I was looking forward (quite a bit) to staying alone @ home.but now that the time is here, I am somewhat uncomfortable - alone in the dwelling. I don't know why! it's not as if i have not been alone (come 2 think of it maybe that is the reason - I have not been alone in the night!!!) I think I am aware that he will not be getting home at 11pm tonight as he usually does (becoz he's flying across the timezones). It's weird, not having him around. I miss him already. I didn't realise how much I had gotten accustomed to having him around ALL the time. food 4 thought!

this is at 4.20a.m. after my All Girl Movie Night. Good food, goofy company - it was fun. watched Hrithik Roshan in a movie for the first time. he's cute.on a scale of 1 to 10 he probably rates around a 7. But what Neha (Paree's 7yr old) finds so fascinating abt him is beyond me.

Lil' Prathish (my baby friend) tried his hands at eating a caterpillar, we saw him in the nick of time and deprived him of some green proteins!! poor fellow exhausted from the heat today.

Nira has gone to Russia apparently, Shams was sad about the fact that she was not informed. Even Nira's mom was shocked that Shams did not know. Even Parthi did not know. so that makes it the three of us in the dark. But Nira has said that she will write to me from Russia. But, to tell u the truth, I am happy for her, that she got to go to uni in Russia at least. poor gal, was trying so hard to get admission @ various unis in differnt countries.

Man! I am going 2 b so awake 2morrow.

hmm...what else can I think of at 4.23 am on a Sunday morning?

That, that is, is; That, that is not, is not; But that, that is not, is not that that is; Nor is that, that is, that that is not.

Talk abt the restless wandering mind. I think so far today I have been to about 3 countries mentally, been in 5+ moods and had countless thoughts. why can't I seem to concentrate on one thing? even when I'm meditating(trying to!) I keep thinking to myself that I should not think - be free of thoughts. is it just me or does this happen to everyone else too?

Went to the city last night. been so long. The shops were open till late - it being thursday. should go out more often.

I am amazed at the fact that there are people who actually believe that the USA went to war with Iraq for peace. Pfft!! are these people for real? I guess not all five fingers are the same.

I am all alone at home at 10.51pm, and a @#$%&! cockroach scared the living daylights out of me. Don't u dare laugh, I am serious. Abt 5 mins ago I heard some noise - it was like the cellophane bag being rustled. I know I am all alone, so armed with my beloved's cricket bat (damn it's heavy!) I walk out into the dining area - to see what? A BLOODY LOATHFUL COCOROACH! EUGH!!!!!!!(Time for fumigation AGAIN!)

why were they created in the first place?
I actually know some people who can be compared to those creatures - no laughing matter.

On a totally different note, subtlety never works with Patrick. poor guy, I am so sure he is a great student. but need to unwind a bit. I was in the lab drinking milk, and he says I am not allowed to do so in the lab, almost drags/pushes me out! Sheesh! To topp it off GoKhan goes " so Gaaya, how's ur boyfriend Patrick" Talk abt LOL!!!!!!!

Sooooo tired, swimboard is starting to key before me eyes, catch ya later.

If u were wondering abt the fate of the cockroach... it DIED!!!!(how? I'll leave that to your imagination!!)

So back to TAFE...

Sum1 seriously needs to install the "What-Day-Is-Today" program in Siren. She has trouble remembering days - espcially with Mondays and Thursdays. Apparently she was watching a movie and she remembered it was Wednesday, When the bomb exploded!!! I don't get it...What's a bomb got to do with Wednesday?

Stir-Fry Yummmmmmm!

Mothers are the best people on earth, they accept u for who u really are. I mean, one can have the best of friends, loving siblings, a family of their own- everyone judges u for what u are and what u have achieved. but nothing like a mother's love. Like Rove says " say hi 2 ur mom for me!"

As for the presentation - everything went well. we are in our last semester. I even had a surprise party, which was good. Siren became an adult - legally (& literally?).

went to see the Jenolan caves. Amazing stuff. cannot even begin to comprehend for how long this stuff's been happening. Saw a fossilized animal for the first time.(of course I have seen a lot on TV. but this was real. WOAH DUDE!!!!( You can see that I have watched 'Finding Nemo')

I am on holidays and enjoying it. Like Paree I too have become a chocoholic. come to think of it, is there a 'Chocoholics Annonymous'?

Summer is on it's way, but I think I will be looking for work then, rather than sitting outside & ba(s)king in sun.

Siren dampened my spirits....by telling me that Telstra Boy was admitting to one of our teachers that he did not do any work. Now I have lost all sense of fun for the presentation.awwww!! Why does he have to develop a conscience now??? >>Sigh<<

Siren noticed that I did not seem very happy on my last blog. well, given the contents and the mood that put me in, how could I be?

well n e ways, It was freeeezing yesterday but today is teeny weeny bit better temperature-wise, even tho' it's raining. tomorrow is the presentation for the project. I just can't seem to stop thinking how it would be if Telstra Boy was asked questions regarding any aspect of the project. Even if my wish did come true, I hope we are not marked upon his "answers" ...if any!

gotta run.

hi U,

I have good friends.friends who would do just about anything 4 me, but write. why is that? one person in particular(if u are reading this u will know urself. if not, ur name starts with N, and u were born on the 21st of April 1978)hardly(maybe I should use the word "never", but I'll be kind here)replies. even if I do get a reply by God's grace it's maximum 3 lines. I am so damn pissed. I mean here I am laboring away - writing, e-mailing,sending loads of sms.....and what do I get in reply??????NOTHING! is this fair?seriously, I ask u...IS THIS FAIR? I don't deserve to be treated like this!!!

I don't want just fwds.I want a line that says -"Gaaya, how are u doing?". is that too much to ask? OK..I agree N maadu...u maybe busy. I understand and respect that. but come on, I am ur best friend (not to mention the fact that I am the root cause that u have the Kathal of ur life).I deserve a letter/mail/sms(when applicable). I need some effort from that end too. clapping with one hand doesn't make much noise dear. what is even worse is that when other friends( who are REEEEEEEEEEEALLY busy, yet manage to send me looooong mails) stick up for N. does not make sense.

Maybe I shouldn't be complaining, and just be eternally thankful that I got atleast a 3 liner. or maybe I should just stop contacting this person, and see what happens. YEAH, I can tell what will happen , NOTHING! and how do I know this...because it has happened B4!! well... I am thinking - being a little out of touch never hurt any1. so lemme try it.
THE END!

Lisa it's ur b'day...happy b'day Lisa - oh! sorry! didn't c u there.I was lost in a Simpsons moment.

OK...let's get updated!

at last managed to finish the project. all 290+ pages of it.Congratulations Team. could not print it, so gave it on a cd. I did not know that we could do dat @ TAFE. I need to be more informed. now next Friday is the presentation, which is going to be one hell of a (under 18s close eyes and move two words further) bitching session about Telstra Boy since his input was virtually invisible. I think I jinxed him...mentioned his attendance in the blog somewhere and after I did that he did not show up!!! As if by magic he turned up yesterday and had the nerve to ask ( today) Rob (who couldn't make it yesterday) where he was!! amazing....
I am quoting Siren here : "He's like this fly in the house in the middle of summer , u sooooooo badly want to squat!" - How True.

Well, on a lighter note - Got myself a vaporizer. instead of waking up thrice to take the nasal spray I wake up only once. But the thing is that I am beginning to wonder if it's all in my mind...becasue the vaporizer manufacturer specifically says to put the vaporising medicine in the medicine chamber, but the vapo.medicine I use, says to add it to the water -which I have not done. so I am like seriously wondering if it is my mind that makes my breathing device feel eased?hmmm...

oh! and BTW can someone tell me what Afshin was on(or what he smoked) yesterday? It was just soooo hilarious, him being "curious"!

Oh dear! I haven't told u what happened at the resit....tsk tsk.how thoughtless of me. well anyways, I went for the resit, and Alien(maybe I should start calling him by his name, now that he's been helping me n all dat) went over the Q's Afshin and I got wrong. and in about 30 mins we finished the resit aaaaand yours truly got a 100%. YEY!.
so ...good.

Then there was the graduation ceremony. they could not pronunce my surname.soooo funny.(well....IT IS!!).I had a bet with a teacher abt that without realizing that he will be teaching us next semester, and now I am marked! Doh! (I won the bet, but graciously refused to accept the money...all $5 of it!)
we had to walk up to the stage and talk to this person who was handing out the certs. I am so sure he was asking everyone the same question - "did u enjoy it?". and for that, Siren goes - "yeah! it was a scenic route up!". very creative, that girl! Natasha was there too, so we were laughing v.loud.( not that we are quiet any other time). maybe I should have had a drink...meh! too late now!

On a completely different note, I dislike winter. not because of it's cold and unfriendly weather, but because it does something to my nose and causes it to be blocked- it's a conspiracy. so... I have to sniff stuff.(i.e: use nasal spray) it can't be a growth, since this occurs only in winter, so the only possiblity is that the cold weather is doing me harm than good. Conclusion: hot soup is good for u.

umm,hi, yeah! I did not have the exam today. "Alien" wanted to review the questions we got wrong. so YEY! i will be doing it next Monday. but I wish we had done it today, only because I don't want whatever I put into the folds of my brain to come seeping out.

SirenX has started a log. and invited me to add my weird and wonderful(in Siren's words) thoughts to it. oh well...let see what I can do.

got ourselves a new car SAAB 9000. looks and drives great(even though I have not driven it yet!). oh well....will do dat soon enough.
gotta whole heap of stuff to do. so...c ya.

got nothing much to say really. I was supposed to PASS an exam in which I miserably failed to do so. So yours truly is sitting with the book and the chapter quizzes. well, I think i will get back to blogging after I am done with the exam. Bah!

I have been asking questions lately, annoying the hell out out SirenX and Shareen. These are not the deep and meaningful questions on life, but rather on the day-2-day stuff. (But that's not to suggest that I'm a shallow person...on the contrary, I do present a lot of queries on the philosiphical side of things......I think!?) here are 3 of my Qs. mail me if u know the answers:

- What's the weight of the clouds? how is it measured?
- Every1 has been told at somepoint of their life that there is someone else who is worse off. If so, who is the "worst off" person in the world?
- If u have a ligament strain or some sort of muscle ailment, and u go to the doctor; WHY do they make it worse?(YES..happened to me)

Poor Rob has tried to answer my quirky questions. That guy is a walking encyclopaedia. by the way, wherever u are for the next week...I hope u have a good time Rob.
I am reading two books. one is about the Dead Sea Scrolls( need a dictionary by the side) and the other a science fiction novel - rather slow. I read the diary entries of Frankenstein thanks to SirenX. freaky stuff. Cool.

the Telstra Boy managed to get his head hit while playing cricket (will this be called HBW?Head Before Wicket). Had a broken bone in his cheek. they had to operate.(NO...I'm NOT gloating!). He actually has been attending classes for the past 2 weeks.amazing. but still of no help!

Then there is James our teacher.(damned if we understood what under the sky he was talking about) 2 weeks ago he got annoyed at students leaving in the middle of his class. He said "I don't care what u do man, go in piss". we being the people who find it hard to grasp what he says (his accent is heavy, thus the difficulty in comprehending his utterings) didn't know if he said " go in PEACE" or if he actully meant the urination!!!! if it's the latter....I don't want to know!

called my brother to wish him on his b'day on the 20th and he's gone to Scotland with my Sis-in-Law (well DUH! who else!). atleast someone is having holidays and going places.

bear with me, my site is still under construction. it was up for a day or two before I changed my mind abt the layout. Sorry folks.

B4 I forget... if anyone seen the following song on the net or has it please please pleeeeeeeease let me know.
SONG : "vaalparai vatta parai"
ALBUM: "yennappaaru"
ARTIST: Malgudi Subha

ok then... c ya L8R.

Ah! what I say today.....
I got to know only about a week ago that the SAF games were postponed. (Why didn't u tell me Aari???)after combing thru' loads of pages I mailed a friend and found out.Not Happy Jan.


other than that.....(thinking)..., life at TAFE is ok. a bit bogged down with the project. but interesting tho'.(isn't that why i started doing networking in the 1st place????).well anyway, of the 5 people in the group the Telstra boy isn't of much help. Poor Serena doing all the report typing even though we help with the points. I feel as tho' i am not contributing except for building the 2 databases(which I deem important considering what i planned to include in it). I have got other tasks that require work next term. but thank god for the Autumn/Easter break. I can get some of it done before the break is over.


found kazaa lite 10 days ago. donot know how i survived without it to get audio/video/software etc. soooo cool. have got a few of new songs, not to mention my favourites. ah! the power of music.Thankyou Shareen and SirenX.


Thought it was about time I started a website for me. so if u are interested check out http://www.gaayathiri.tk or http://www.shr3ya.tk.(by the way shr3ya is meant to be read shreya - meaning auspicious)
But I must warn u, both are still under construction. I hope to have them both(at least one of 'em) fully (or even partially)done by the end of this month.You will be able to see the project once it's completed.I hope 2 upload it to my site.


until then u can check out my friend's site : www.sirenx.tk but Be Warned, Expect the Unexpected.


till we meet again...

oh! BTW B4 I 4get, if u need any domain name get it from www.dot.tk before it's gone!
