I suggest...

OK! I haven't written for a really long time!

Why?

Because I had stupid exams to think about, if it wasn't college exams it was a spanish mid-term, if it wasn't spanish it was SAT prep! So, as you see, I've been kind of tied up!

Anyway, I did mention in my previous post that I had a really cool idea for post! Well, first, this is not it and second, I might not write it after all! If I muster up enough confidence in my ability to write... then well, you might be in for something WORTH READING (take note of the MIGHT!)!

Then what is today's post about you ask?

It's about what I suggest you do if you have holidays like I do! 

1) Watch Madagascar 2!

It's a very cool movie! If you liked the first one you will FOR SURE love this one! Sequels almost never work for other movies, but they've pretty much got it spot on with this one! But I warn you if you don't like too much sentiment and only like laughs! This movie has much more depth than the last one! I'm not going to give away any part of it! If you are like one of my friends, and are apprehensive of King Julien not being there... no worries, he's there and funnier than ever, so are the penguins and the two Monkeys! So what are you waiting for! GO WATCH IT!

2) Read Artemis Fowl and the Time Paradox!

If you are an Artemis Fowl fan like me, you really don't want to miss this book! Once again Eoin Colfer doesn't fail to give his fans a mind boggling plot which leaves you awestruck and most certainly confused! The beginning is sort of boring! It also is a little odd because you're not reading about the manipulative, deceitful criminal mastermind that we've all come to know and love. Artemis has a sort of shift in character in this book. It might leave you disoriented, but try to get used to it, you don't want to miss the fun stuff! 

Spoiler: A character you least expect comes back!

That's about it I don't have much else to suggest of say right now! At a total loss of words, I just basically needed to update the blog because I hadn't written in ages! That's all! Adios!

My devious little plan!

Evidently I've sub-consciously chosen Wednesdays to be the day of the week that I update my blog! This week isn't like last week where I had a block, in fact I had loads of ideas!

... and today's post isn't one of them! I will write one on Sunday! My dad has unintentionally given me a new angle to look at it from... so I'm looking forward to doing that!

Anyway so back to the topic at hand. So I have an English exam tomorrow and I'm partially prepared. Firstly, because I have done English of much higher standards while in school (Eliot, Wilde, Yeats, Keats, Auden, Hughes, etc...) and this is just a farce! Secondly, I don't feel the need to please my professor or be a shining student! Thirdly, the lessons are just crap!

For the last 3 days I've been generously giving my time to inconsequential things like watching T.V and surfing the net and watching T.V online! But at some point you've really got to study! One can't fail and look like an ass when English is your forte so to speak! So, quite grudgingly, I picked up my book and began to read the lessons, missing my 11th and 12th grade Optional English classes...

... and then I had this brain-wave!

Why not piss off the examiner! What's there to lose? I'm not going to do well anyway because we've all been told we can't possibly get good marks! So what I'm doing now is finding out all this vague information on each of the authors so that I not only have stuff to write during my paper but also sound totally pretentious and really piss them off! I used to do this for Optional English, except there, my teacher really loved it when you did that!

I know this sounds risky and acting egoistical might cost me the few marks I could get. But look at it from my point of view - English is my best subject, it always has been and I know that I will not do well tomorrow merely because I cannot dumb down to the level they expect me to (trust me. I'm not acting cocky! They really do have low standards, my English teacher says things like "Don't get the BORING with Grammar"). So what I'm actually doing is trying to give the best I can, but I know they'll think I'm way to pretentious. 

But honestly, I'm not pretentious! I just have higher standards than the drab, laid back college that I go to!

A string thing!

Hi! There are several reasons why I didn't do my regular (attempted regularity actually!) Sunday post! One, I totally and completely forgot because I was totally wired up about the Twilight movie (you have permission to groan if you don't like the book) and I was running late for Spanish class! Two, by the time I came back from home I was way to lazy and I was still in a state of forgetfulness (if that's right and you get what I mean)! Three, I had NOTHING to write about! Zilch! A whole week had passed and I couldn't find anything to write about and I certainly didn't want to write something as pathetic as my last post! 

So, Today, I make up for missing out last Sunday's post! 

I've been feeling really restless the past few days because I just can't get down to studying for my Semester exams! So I decided to vent by writing in an old unused diary of mine. I opened the book and saw that the last entry I'd made was 2 years ago! How much I had changed since then! I almost laughed at my own naivety, how stupid was I! I briefly went through the entry and began to write what I wanted to today and I realised that there were a lot of similarities! Then I was upset about leaving my old school and joining a new school. Now, I was upset about being in such a boring college. Then, I just wanted to cry. Now, I wanted to cry and tear my hair out! 

It struck me that I'm pretty much the same person as 2 years ago! Yes, I'm smarter about so many things and older! But still the same in many ways! It's like my life is like a string and each year you add another thread to it, or at each life changing moment you add another thread, you learn from your mistakes, you become street smart and less naive, you become stronger and tougher (just like a thread with more strings intertwined in it!).

I don't know! You might think I'm crazy, but it seemed like a pretty neat idea when I thought of it and I just wanted to share it with you!

 

Being able to see the future.

So today while I was waiting to be picked up from Spanish class I had this idea - what if you could be able to see all the consequences of something you do, before you do it but just after you make the decision to do it. For example, you want to do drugs (morbid example I know... but I couldn't think of another) and you see how drugs would effect your life before you actually do drugs! Make sense?! I really can't explain it... but it's great if you caught on to what I was trying to say!

 

The point I was trying to make was that, if you could infact see how your actions would effect the rest of your life wouldn't it make life way easier? 

I think so. People would be way happier because they would know where their lives are heading according to the decisions they make. It's evident I'm not one for mystery and suspense.

I think the best way I can explain this is with an example from my life. I'm a law student in my first year. But I didn't get into the university I wanted to go to and, well I've been vacillating between highs and lows ever since I found out I wouldn't be going to university of my choice. Now, I chose to do law in the 8th grade, if I had been able to see how things would pan out, I guess I wouldn't be on the brink of depression all the time. It would be better for me and for everyone around me! 

Though I like the prospects of knowing what is to come, there are some situations in which it is best you didn't know what was in store for you! I mean how HARD would it be to throw someone a surprise party!!! So I guess I'll always long for this future sight ability and hope for the best otherwise!

The game that i love...

Hey guys! So the rest of this week (after I created this blog) I was trying to figure out what I should write about! Call it writers block if you want, I just couldn't think of something to write!

Then last night it hit me! 

I was on my way to my uncle's place for dinner, and my heart was humming, my brain was buzzing and I had the world's widest grin on my face! 

Why you ask...

This is my reaction to the team I support winning a big match! What game you ask...

F.O.O.T.B.A.L.L!

The reason I wanted to write about it is sort of weird. You wouldn't understand it if you weren't a crazy football fan! The reason I wanted to write about this is because it is really absolutely impossible to put down in words the pure, concentrated emotions that the game can invoke in a fan. The reason I wanted to write this is because if your are a football fan you understand my loss for words and totally get the tremendous high of you team winning, we hence share some sort of mutual understanding of each other! Don't get freaked out, I'm not some sort of stalker!

Yesterday's game was Arsenal vs. Manchester United. Now if you are one who follows the English Premier League, you'd know that Arsenal weren't going into this game with the best of records - losing to Stoke, Fulham and Hull this season! I was preparing myself for an Arsenal loss, not only were they in this inexplicable slump, they were also missing key players! I was tense. I kept telling myself they are going to lose, but I couldn't help hoping that they could actually pull off a win! That's when it struck me. I said to myself - "Damn! I'm so bloody dedicated to this team... I can NEVER see myself supporting another team!" And it's so true!!! It almost made me feel totally helpless because there was this unbreakable bond tying me to Arsenal and there was nothing I could do about it! Yes, I know you think my parents should seriously think about sending me to a psych! But I'll tell you what I told them - "You just don't get it!"

Well if you watched the game, you know how it ended. If you watched the game, you know it was a treat for any football fan no matter which team you support! There are about 4 times similar to yesterday that I remember with absolute precision - they are some of my most treasured memories not only because of the wins, but because I've always had friends I frantically message or call and we have such a great time bonding over those 90 minutes! 

So to me, football is so much more than just a game. It makes you understand the bizarre things people do and it gives you an opening to escape from the claws of reality!

Hi world. It's me again!

The number of blogs I have floating around in cyberspace has got to be criminal if not a 100% ridiculous! I think ever since I was 16 I've created about 3 blogs every year! Everytime with the same thing in mind - I'm going to share my thoughts with the world EVERY WEEK! Never happens... so I scrap that blog, or invariably forget the password and won't be able to access it and then... I just dump it! Pathetic! :)

So here is a new blog from me! I hope to keep this one alive! 

 *fingers crossed*

So a few things about me in this first post:

10. I love unpopped kernels… I know one day my teeth will break if I keep biting them… but I love it! :P

9. I love to sit on the computer for hours on end… which teenager doesn’t?!

8. I’m constantly trying to keep a blog of some sort… but invariably they all disappear into a dark abyss… coz:

a. Im not regular at writing

b. I forget the password! (told you so!)

7. This is actually hard work… shows how little I know about myself

6. Ok… got one… I love Coke (the drink) NOT DRUGS!!!

5. When I say LST, I mean L-S-T not L-S-D!!! sheesh! :P

4. Gooner for life! :) I LOATH Manchester United and especially hate Sir Alex Fergusson, Wayne Rooney, and Cristiano Ronaldo! (So expect some trash talking about them in this blog)

3. I love the smell of rain, and whenever it rains all I can think about is sitting outside with a sweater on and just looking at the grey scene!

2. I love music… more than anyone knows… it’s my BIGGEST pick me up when I’m low… whether I’m listening to it or playing the keyboard

1. My name is Nayantara! But I love to put various names like - Elfrida Cragg, Cap'n Mae Slashface... etc... don't ask why... it's just one of my quirks!!! :P
