Today after the first hour, we had like 4 hrs gap before the next hour starts. So some of us (around 6) stayed back in class. And as we were talking, for some reason, big bang theory came into the discussion...Sushi asked me whether I believe in big bang theory...I said 'yeah, I do'...And he was like, 'you do?!' I was like 'yeah!'. Then Jerryn asked...'you believe in evolution or creation?' :|

Off ho! Now I'm at fix!

I always kept science and religion separate. I believed in God and his creations...but I also believed in science and evolution. I have never tried to inter-relate these two. Now, I'm so totally at fix! Science or religion? What's the connection? What's the explanation?

And these guys were fairly surprised I did not think about this before because I'm very good at arguing...even if it's a silly stuffs, even if the entire world stands against me with a silly stuffs, I argue till the last breath of logic.
Sushi was like, 'I have seen how deep you can go when you think...and why don't you think about things that matter rather than crap!'

Right now, I don't have any answers to big bang theory and Genesis...but hopefully some logical explanations will spark some thinking...

I saw Chak De - India today. I feel so good after seeing that movie. There are so many positives I have to take from that movie, infact every scene has a positive message to share.

I recommend every Indian to watch this movie, and I'm so sure majority of the cine-watching community has seen this (and yeah, I'm quite late to catch up with this movie).
And also everyone who likes India to watch this...this is not another Bollywood flick, there are no dance and song sequences - just backgrounds. This movie is basically about the transformation of pitiful Indian Women's Hockey team to a respected team of not only India but of the world. And everyone circumstances shown this movie are real, there is very little fiction in this, or so the former hockey players says (heard them say so in a chat show on T.V).

The movie is great, I have been filling pages about it in my Private diary, connecting it with my own life...I just don't seem to get enough of it.

SHAME ON YOU, if you haven't watched that film yet. To save yourself from further shame, go watch it soon, especially if you are an Indian.

Onam was celebrated in college on 27th August.

The important thing or the amusing thing is that, Onam is a Keralite festival and not a Bangalorean’s (or Karnataka’s) festival, and hence it is not common to celebrate it in schools or colleges, yet it was celebrated in our college. Why? Because there was a significant number of mallus or Keralites.

So, the classes were suspended, programs and games had been put up and some atmosphere was created. (It is not possible to have the complete atmosphere of Onam, in a foreign land, without spending lots of money.)

The official start of programs, were announced by the arrival of Mahabali in Bullock cart. He lit the lamp and gave Banana chips and sarkaraperati to Prinicipal, administrator, HOD’s and teachers. All this was happening with a back ground music from the Chedakottukar. Then we had little speech from our principal and then started the games. There was Sack race for boys and men lecturers, lemon and spoon for the girls and women lectures, then there was tug-of-war (I was missing to see the action between the branches). I did not participate in any of these, but made a last minute decision with my friends to join the Pookala Malzaram.

We did not get our flowers nor did we have a design in mind, everything was just on-the-spot decisions. The organizers had some flowers which they gave according to first come first serve basis. Since we were the last to register, we had to content ourselves with the available and rejected flowers (includes stealing and begging and borrowing flowers from the participating teams.)

We finally zeroed on peacock for the design. My friend N, who is a good artist, drew the peacock on the ground. The rest of us started plucking out the petals of flowers. We were very skeptical about our work, but decided to finish it. When we finished, and took few pics of it, we were showering ourselves with praise for what we have done and ridiculed everyone else’s design.

The party pooper was - the results. Our team did not win and now we ridiculed the judges for lack of creativity. *laughs with disbelief*
Maybe it was because we had put in as much as we can, to come up with some thing nice and creative at the last moment! Whatever that was, it was a fun day, with no regrets of loosing (atleast now. :D).

P.S: Maybe neatness is where we failed. We started some one hour late, how could we do it better!?

The plan is to go to Kerala (my native) on Saturday. Stay there for a maximum of a week and then be back to Bangalore. Mom will stay back in her mom's place for the rest of the treatment that she is undergoing right now. She wants me to stay with her, but I guess I don't have lotta activities to do there, unless some one helps me to learn swiming. (Yeah, I don't know to swim! :( ). There is a river some 300mts from my mom's house, it is pretty cool!

This means I will be missing one of my friends birthday treat and another of my friend has to postpone her already postponed treat. Maybe one can miss her birthday present and the other can get a late present. Oh! I'm so selfish! :D
