Ctd..
Even then, I enjoy life and school.! hardly do worry about teachers giving their piece of mind for not giving the notes..
Happily sit down in the last bench..And i have a partner who acts like a kid and can explode any moment.!
So hardly do I talk with him too.! But suddenly he pops up asking me- " Osama Bin Laden ku BAYAM na enna nu theriyadhu..! Why ?"
I in my usual sleepy sense say I DUNNO ..
And he keeps a expression-less face and answers-" Because he doesnt know Tamil.! "
I feel like laughing.! But somehow control it, because I am scared of his pendulum like MOOD SWINGS.!
And the worst part is yet to come.!
I have teachers who are H.O.D's.! Worst.! But then, i happily sit in the last bench and sleep.! :D
Lol.! And then, much to my relief and fear, i hear the evening prayer.!
Relief refers to school ending.! and fear ? The fear of staying two more hours of school for math or coming back and going to sanskrit(which I promised i would be going in the mornings).. :D
Lol.! And after finishing all my classes, i relax for some time.! And when the clock strikes 7, i would have to be there at my desk.! TO STUDY OR ACT LIKE STUDYING.! :D
Lol.! And then have my dinnah and then come online only to catch up with friends and to blog.! Hehe..
Well this is much about me.! Only when i start writing, I realize i have so much in my life.! Lol.!
Thanks again !

Me , Mine and Myself.! Part III
Well, last two blogs i wrote about my parents, my relatives and of course my friends.! So this is going to be a blog entirely dedicated to me.! :D:D
Am gonna write about the various things I do in the course of a day and you know, various things about me.!
Well for the starters, Am just a normal guy.! A guy next door.! Love music.. Love Football and LOVE UNITED !
3 things which i can't be separated from.! Lol..
And for the others who know me something more, I am the laziest person in the world.! Totally.! Love to Eat, Sleep, Play and again the cycle continues.
Few say I am a nerd.. :D Fact is that I aint.! :P Hard Guess ppl..! =))
Well here's my routine.!
I have a so called Sanskrit class during mornings.! I always promise mom that I'll wake up at 530 and go to the class..
But as I told you..AM the laziest person..And all the time i oversleep..And sleep nicely..:D
And finally I wake up.! Or rather am forced to wake up.. Cuz the blaring sound of FM in my house-the noise of 'BIG 92.7 fm POZHUDUPOKIN UCCHA KATTAM.!' :D- That wakes me up.! (aah..How life would have been without that..)
And then i realize the time would have been 7.! So I catch my brushin equipments and sit down to read the newspaper..
Half the time I drowse while reading it too..:D
And then sit down to eat something at 750..
Hardly do eat though.! And then I am at school at 8 or so..!
I go there..And much to my amazement, all friends barge at me asking- " You finished Record work ? You finished Chemistry notes " and stuff like that.! {WHEN WILL THEY REALIZE THAT THE WORLD WOULD COME TO AN END IF I SUBMIT MY NOTES ON TIME :) }
I keep a straight face to all those things and get in.! Knowing what would be in store for me if i don't write those notes.. :D

Me, Mine and Myself.! Part II
- My friends !
My life with friends only revolves around four things : Cricket, Football, Orkut and 'Ooru Suthifying'.!
Its because of this I have more friends than what I imagined would have.!
- Cricket
Ram, Raghav, Arjun, Kaushal , Barry, Vivek, Karthik, Darvi , Vishal, Robin, Prakash, Niraj , Ashwin , Vijay- Have played with them all.! :D:D
- Football
Hehe.!
I've played with a few seniors of mine in Sangeeta Colony.! Most memorable experience was beating them 7-1 once.! Hehe.!
Rj, Vc, Rahul, Sudharshan, Ranga , etc etc have played with them..
Next was Ceebros Gardens.!
A mixture of Psbb, JV and various other School students.! Was an all together fun experience playing there.!
Anirudh, Akshay, Ashutosh, Prabjyot, Sachin, and loads of others too..
- Orkut
This has where my friend circle has expanded more than where I got the others.. Known people who were unknown to me for sometime again became known now. :D
Unknown people have now become the closest of my friends..
And contact with the well known people has continued.!
This has what orkut has got me.! A new dimension of friends..
- 'OORU SUTHIFYING'
And from various B'day Parties to Back.!
This is from where i got various friends of mine..
They make up the second part of my life. !
Me, Mine and Myself.! Part I
Well, since no new topics went over my head, i decided to write a blog all about myself-My life, My day and My interests !
Well to start off.!
The dearest ones for me.! (as in the case of everyone i suppose)
Well, Two different and unique people must say.! Totally.!
One is totally religious while the other is spiritual.! One says yes, other co-incidentally says no.! One starts arguing, other continues(which spoils the atmosphere for me to study in :D:D) and when I get into it to make them stop fighting, all i get back is SCOLDINGS from them for no reason of mine.! Lol.! That's why I let them continue and happily sit and listen to their arguments. ! :D
But it's fun with them.! A weekend hangout with them followed by some gully cricket with cousins including my uncles is all I have time for in the weekend.!
Abishek, Vignesh, Rishi, Ananya, Praveen to name a few are all unique in their own way.!
One I go out with always and in return gets me something or the other even if i say NO.! Kickass Company ! (Recently got a shorts which was shorter than an underwear).!
Next, a Silent Killer should say.! Hehe.! Hardly talks but comes up with Valid and Just points.!
"ONLY SUCCESS" is what can describe my other cousin ! :D:D Has a "problem" with me for saying "OK" ! I always say I'll "TRY" not to use it but finally end up using it.! "DON'T KNOW" why.! Hehe.!
And the rest 2 are small but too very kind.! TOTAL FUN to be with .!
Well to start off.!

Thursday Noon Footy at MGM beach Resort..
So here it was.! It was all very perfectly set up.! A morning at MGM and then footy at the beach resort there.! This is what I call as a perfect holiday.! Lol..!
So we started in the burning hot sun.! 14 of my class mates including a few of our cousins.! The Sea Breeze was setting in.! Nice pleasant breeze..
Sat down to put in the teams.! Myself, Ghanshyam, Vignesh , Navnit , Ranga( !!!!!) , Aravind and Srinivas in our side.!
Theirs was anyday stronger.! Prem, Nitin , Prashanth, Adithya, Anirudh, Shaswath, Prithvi and SV.!
Lol.! We started in bare foot.! Started in perfect tone.! One touch passing throughout.! But as usual, we hardly had any one to defend.! Lol.! And within half time, they were 3-0 up.!
And now, the heat was setting in..We could feel it.! I started hoppin with cramps.! Hehe.!
Second half started..! We scored our first goal.! FINALLY ! Wooho.! Passed it right, Ghan was there to slot it home.! We were back.! Or atleast we could say we were back.!
But in a broader sense, we were too tired to give it a fight.! We scored a couple more.! One me and other Ghan.!
But in the meantime, they had scored 2 too.! Lol.! So we decided to end it.! They won 5-3.! Enough was Enough for us.! Hehe.!
We removed our slippers and darted towards the beach.! Aah.! What feeling it was.! Cool water.! Best thing to happen to us then.!
And what was better then was a Kwality Walls man came over.!
All of us grabbed an ice cream.! I had two though..:D
We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.! Was an Ultimate Experience.!
Hope we go more frequently.! Lol.!
Sid.!

My Life at PSBB till date !
I thought I better start writing something about myself ..Well that's what blogs are all about.. So i sat down imagining on what to write about, this topic popped out. ! And i really do want to speak my heart out about my life at PSBB.! MY HOME.!
All started for me in the year 1996.! The first time i stepped into the gates of PSBB as a young boy, i realized this wasn't just the entrance to PSBB, but a step towards a new future.! A new life of wonderful journeys and experiences were ahead for me..
I spent the first three years of my schooling life studying in H section along with a bunch of various other mates of mine.! Don't remember much of those years.! But all I can say was that it would have been total fun.! :D
So when i was in UKG, i knew i had to take a new subject..which would result in a new section and a new set of friends.! Took Hindi !
And was landed in 1-L..! That's where my actual friendship started.! Loads of cool friends.! Was rocking fun..
And so it was.! 3 yrs of new experiences.! 3rd was a wonderful year.! Bagged the All Rounder and a general proficiency in Math.! :D
And yet again.! It all was bought down to yet another change in language.! Had to choose between Hindi and Sanskrit.! I had told all my friends that I was going to take Hindi..But people at my house wanted me to take Sanskrit as they thought it was easier..
Infact i had a friend of mine who wrote and gave it as Hindi and later changed to Sanskrit cuz i had changed.! Hehe.!
So i landed in 4k.! 4th turned out to be a mixed uear for me.! I was into all the mischieves in the world.! Was definitely not Teacher's favourite.! Was always into her complaint book.! Infact had my parents called..! Hehe.! But the only consolation i had that year was an All Rounder and Profficiency in Math and Sanskrit.! Hehe.!
5th went quite normally.! Started developing more and more friends.! The same set was carried onto 6-E ! 6th, 7th, 8th were quite uneventful .! Seems as though nothin happened in these years.! Though opinions of my friends may differ.! Haha.!
So it was 8th holidays.! That's when i renewed old friendships-the ones in 3rd or so.! Largely thanks to ORKUT ! Hehe.! No Wonder am attached to it now.!
Lol.! 9th was by far the best year.! Enjoyed to the maximum extent..
MORE PARTYING, MORE BUNKING CLASSES, MORE TEASING, MORE FUN and Ofcourse, MORE FOOTBALL..! Hehe.!
That year had to end.! And the thought of me entering the 10th always passed over my head.! The year i had to concentrate more on studies.!
Hehe.! But 10th has now started.! And am enjoying the last year in my wonderful class.! 10 E.!
Many may say it sucks and it's all very nerd-ish class.! But people just don't know what it's all about.! must realize that the PROOF OF THE PUDDING IS IN TASTING IT.!
Anyways no one cares on what others say..! I love my class.! I love all my friends.!
RIPPERS ! Thanks a lot for making my life in Psbb so special.!
Hopin for more wonderful years ahead,
SId.!

Wimbledon Finals Part- III
WE were there.! The Final set.!
It started off smoothly with both the players holding their serves with ease until rain stopped their journey at 2-2.! Disrupted the play for nearly half hour.!
And when the skies cleared, we knew that the players would be entering the arena for the one last time..
Both played some excellent tennis.! It was 7-7.! One erring in Federer's serve gave the much needed opening for Nadal.! He got his opportunity to break Federer.!
And so did he.! He was there..! He knew it.! He sensed it..We sensed it.! The Championship now seemed to be in Nadal's grasp.!
As they described, they were now playing in utmost darkness.! The sun waited till it's last ray only to see the end of this great battle.!
And so did we.! A Federer forehand error sent Nadal falling to the grass only to the feeling that he was the NEW WIMBLEDON CHAMPION.!
And so was he.! He had dethroned King FEDERER's reign at the Centre Court.!
A left hander had done it again.! (going back to the 80's where Mckenroe-a leftie- dethroned Borg, who also won 5 Continuous championships).!
A tennis match which kept the viewers glued for more than 6 hours.! The longest Wimbledon Final till date.! 4 hrs and 48 mins.! RIPPING aint the WORD.!
I consider myself truly lucky to have witnessed this phenomenan.!
ACCORDING TO ME, BOTH WERE CHAMPS.! CHAMPS IN THEIR OWN WAY.! I WISH THERE WERE "DRAWS" IN TENNIS..!
Even though i supported Nadal, TENNIS WAS THE TRUE WINNER.!

Wimbledon Finals Part-II
The third set started.! It was 2-2 with Federer serving.! Doubts of whether he would win his 6th Championship was the talking point of everyone there.! And indeed it was.! Couple of Federer's errors and a Nadal Brilliance got it to 0-40.! Everyone in my house thought- "Indeed has the Champ Fallen".!
BUT HOLD ON.! The Champ had risen from the ashes..He won that game and the set in a tie-breaker 7-5.!
It was 2-1 Nadal.! After the rain interruption in the 3rd set, the skies had cleared now.!
Fourth Set had commenced.! It was 6-5 to Nadal.! And Fed was a championship point down..But fought it all out to get it to a tie Breaker.!
And people if i aint commenting much about this tie breaker, i need'nt have written this blog at all..!
Some gripping tennis with a mixture of emotions.. All was witnessed in this tie breaker.! The Champ was down 2-5 in the tie breaker.! Nadal's serve too.! Reliable one.!
Is this the end of Federer ? Er.! HOLD ON.! WE KNOW WHAT CHAMPIONS ARE MADE OF.! NERVES OF STEEL !!
Nadal double faulted once and then played a poor point.! 4-5.! Two ripping services to make it advantage fed.! 6-5.! Set Point Fed.! Nadal held both his services to go 6-7.! Second championship point of the Set.! Federer saved it.. Federer's second serve..He played a perfect point followed by a perfect approach shot.!
BUT NADAL.! BOY O' BOY.! What a pass it was.! Jaw Dropping pass..! Out of no where.! Hail Nadal for that.! 7-8 to Fed.!
Third Championship Point.!
Nadal served into the corner.! Came in.! But Federer.! U beauty.! A ripping pass down on Championship Point.! It had to be perfect.! And it was.!
8-8 to Federer.! And with yet another bullet services, and a huge roar of "YEAAAAA", it was SET for Federer.! Emotions was at its peak.! Nadal disappointed about his missed chances.!

Wimbledon Finals Part-I
It was an usual Sunday for me.! Classes in the morning and exam the next day.. The only thing that cheered me up that day was the Wimbledon Final between the 2 greatest players- Namely Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer..
I came and sat down in my hall..! Sat down with the book to revise something for the next day's test(Which i flopped ultimately :D) but i was shocked to see my parents sit down and switch on the television..
I asked why ? And bang came the answer.! "Cuz i wanna see Wimbledon finals".!
All i thought to myself was "WOOV"..Nothing else..Never had such a build up to a sporting event happened in my house, not even for any cricket match..
So this was all that we were bothered about that night.! WIMBLEDON, CENTRE COURT, RAFA NADAL vs ROGER FEDERER.!
I felt as though no one was with me.! My dad, Kaushal, Vivek and Barry were all supporting Federer.! And i realized i would be the only one to shout "VAMOS RAFA".!
But all i prayed was that it would be a good match.!
As usual, the Finals was delayed thanks to some heavy shower at London.. Was delayed by one hour.!
But there it all started..The covers were removed, umpires were at their positions and the players arrived with a standing ovation.!
The first set started with a flurry.! None of the 2 gave up on any points.! Slugged it out.! And by the look of it, we could say that we were in for a real feast..
Nadal broke Federer in the 10th game and took the first set in 48 mins.! 1-0 to Rafa.!
Second started in the similar fashion.! But this time around, Federer dominated.! Broke Nadal once and went into a 4-1 lead.! But just before we could count Nadal out, he unleashed the bull within himself.! Broke Fed twice and won the next 5 games and with it the set 6-4.!
Woohoo.! 2-0 to Nadal.! Yay ! I was jumping around.! People started to think-" Has the Champ Fallen" ?

Abraham Lincoln's Letter to his Son's Head Master
" He will have to learn, I know, that all men are not just, all men are not true. But teach him also that for every scoundrel there is a hero ; that for every politician there is a dedicated leader. Teach him that for every enemy there is a friend. It will take time, I know, but teach him, if you can, that a dollar earned is of far more value than five found. Teach him to learn to loose and also to enjoy winning, steer him away from envy if you can; teach him the secret of quiet laughter. Let him learn early that the bullies are the easiest to lick; Teach him, if you can, the wonder of books but also give him quiet time to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun and flowers on a green hillside. In school, teach him it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat. Teach him to have faith in his own ideas. even if every one tells him they are wrong. Teach him to be gentle with the gentle people, and tough with the tough. Try to give my son the strength not to follow the crowd when everyone is getting on the band wagon. Teach him to listen to all men, but teach him also to filter all he hears on a screen of truth, and take only the good that comes through.
"Teach him, if you can, how to laugh when he is sad. Teach him there is no shame in tears. Teach him to scoff at cynics and to beware of too much sweetness. Teach him to sell his brawn and brain to the higher bidders, but never to put a price tag on his heart and soul. Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob and to stand and fight if he thinks he's right.
"Treat him gently, but do not cuddle him, because the only test of fire make fine steel. Let him have the courage to be impatient; let him have the patience to be brave. Teach him always to have sublime faith in himself, because then he will always have sublime faith in mankind.
"This is a big order, but see what you can do. "

SPL 2008-2009
[ Am writing this just to create a tinge extra to this SPL saga and no personal offence was to be meant to anyone..! ]
You hear the name P.S.B.B , u associate it with the SPL elections we hold every year.! Woov.! It seriously is the Climax of Entertainment.! From huge banners to small "Invitations" we had this year, from huge cheers to a round of big "BOOS"- U have it all.! That's what makes it so special.!
Lol.! So getting into the thick of things.!
What was seen to be VIVEK's YEAR( and deservedly too..) at the helm of PSBB , it din't get started all that well.!
Vivek wasn't allowed to stand due to reasons, hmm..well not known to us yet.! He seemed disappointed, we seemed disappointed too.! What followed was a serious of protests in orkut as well as in our school.! But still Vivek wasn't allowed to stand.! And for the first time, there was only one representative from both the Commerce sections - Introducing one and only SURAJ.! LOL..
They said Change is always welcome.! So Vivek was now Suraj.! (Aah..I know i copied that..Anyways.! :D )
The rest of the candidates were :-
(No offence meant)
Lol.! And all along we've witnessed so many see-saw battles.! From what turned out to be a Suraj-Karthik bitter rivalry(They were class mates), to Navin-Suraj(day before the supporting speech) to finnaly the Sachin-Suraj rivalry.!
None knows who'll come out in flying colors..! We aint discarding others too..!
But we surely do know that this has been an SPL elections to remember.!
Thanks..!

No Eden, No Chepauk.! Only 6th Sector.!
The Title says it all.! No Eden Gardens, No Chepauk can match the cricket we play here.! GULLY CRICKET re-defined.! But yea.! Wrote this blog to share some RIPPING experiences we've had in this MECCA of ours.!
Lol.! Okay let me get started.! What we(refers to myself and few of my other friends who live near by) started playing only as 4-5 members now has turned into something big.! Something real big involving 20 people.! :D
The excitement level reached its peak during the summer holidays.! We had people of varied characters coming and playing.! From Kaushal to Raghav , from Vishal to Robin, and from Barry to Vivek- We had them all coming here and playing.! And include some more people from my friend's class and my cousin who came for one day, the list is all but complete.!
Hm.! So this fine Saturday, we had too many people to cope into 2 teams even though there were loads of absentees.! So we decided to play a tri-series sort of a game.! Rules were simple..! Only 4 overs per team.! It was HIT OUT OR GET OUT..!
By logic, with all due respect to my team mates, we had the weakest team when compared to the other teams.! BUT HELL YEA.! PLAY WITH A WEAK TEAM, PLAY WITH PASSION.!
That's what we did exactly.! Myself, Kaushal, Raghav, Santanam(The one who made his debut that day..:D) and Vishal (who joined in late).. After loosing the first game, we were in a dire strait in a must win game.! With opponents needing 7 of the last over, i decided to bowl.! People in my team started to pray and stuff like that.! AND BOY.! First ball i bowled, WHAM.! Clean bowled..! (I aint self praising.! That's what happened..:| :D)
So yea , we were like taunting other teams saying: "WEAK TEAM, BUT WE MAKE THE FINALS.!" :D Such was the mood in our team.!
So finals it was.! We faced the team we lost to in the first match.! So REVENGE was in the cards.!
Santanam, who hadn't bowled a single ball uptil now was given an oppurtunity.! (It was only to experiment.) But Sam THALA.! Woov.! First ever Hat-Trick witnessed..! WHAT A MAN.! We were on CLOUD 9 already.!
Even then they managed a formidable total.! We knew it was tough.! But all was not well.! We were losing.! All seemed to happen in a flash.! We had only Raghav remaining.! No one else.!
6 runs off 4 balls.!
5 off 3..
4 off 2..!
And finally..3 off 1.!
The tension could have been cut with a knife.! Such was the tension.!
I had been running for Raghav till now.! But Kaushal said he wanted to run in the last ball.! People were shouting.! We were like- JUST RUN WHATEVER SH!? happens..! :D
Guess what happened ? Raghav edged..! Edged badly too..! First we thought it would only be a single run, then double, But before we could open our eyes, he ran three..! WE WON..!!
WOHOO..! WHAT CELEBRATIONS IT WAS THAT DAY..! :D SOMETIMES EDGES TOO WIN U MATCHES.. :D
Lol.! This in one of the few experiences we've had in this wonderful place.! Felt like sharing.!
