I don't remember waking up thinking what shall I do for the day. That is hardly the case. However, I do remember waking up and heading to the kitchen for my morning bed beverage. Yes you are right, It is COFFEE!!!.
All I'll need is Just a 1 and a half teaspoon of Nescafe, 1tsp creamer and 1/2 tsp raw sugar and that brews me a half mug of coffee.
As usual I sip my cuppa without brushing my teeth.
For I find it to be a sin to drink coffee in fluoride breath.
There were times when I would walk into deli-france for a cappuccino take-away before heading office. I would be welcomed to some deafening noises those coffee machines create while grinding those beans. Never mind those noise shrilling through my ear drums. I know that soon my nostrils will be treated to a sensual fragrance coming from those powdered java beans.
Sometimes you cant see the entire coffee preparation but let me share with you my 3 yrs of part-time barista experience on what exactly happens behind that Red LAVAZZO Magic Machine.
First a lever at the bottom of the coffee container would be pulled twice which then dispenses 10+ grams of ground coffee into the portafilter. Then a metal tamper will be forced onto it to level the powdered coffee bean. Usually a couple of metal knocking sound would follow by. This brings the untampered powder around the portafiler rim into the caked coffee bean. The barista would again tamper the portafiler to ensure no granules of coffee powder is left behind before fixing it into the Espresso Machine.
Hmmmmmm... Within seconds what a pleasant smell from the scalding coffee. Whilst the machine is slowly brewing my espresso, the barista would opens up the fridge and pour a generous amount of ice cold milk onto the Steaming Pitchers for my cappuccino froth.
The milk pitcher will be placed into a hot pipe venting out steam. Slowly this steam brings toa muffled boiling sound. Now that indicates that my milk is warm and frothed. She will then pour the rich foamy milk on my fresh espresso and Viola.. there is my Cuppaccino.
MMMMmmmmm...Now that's a sight.
Then before she closes my paper cup with the lid, she will stop immediately and sprinkle a generous amount of cocoa dust without me to interrupt her. Just the way I like it. Now This is what i call family-like service. Her smile, service, and that "See you again Nithya" is so worth spending a recurring $5.00.
Coming up soon... My Fave chinese Coffee Man from Tampines Round Market...

Unexplainable Exponential Growth of My Explosive Sensitivity
Gonna implode with seething anger.
Gonna drown in my own tears.
Gonna scream in silence.
And the metaphor goes on.
I'm feeling that this world is about to eat me up.q
This threshold for intolerance is overwhelming. But when I expect respect from people I love I beget mockery. I've decided it is ok if I stay Away and be on my own & leave me alone for now.
I can't stand them. Perhaps some of them in this Wala group can't. Some of Em just left unspoken and I too will just leave. Cos no one has the right to overcome anyone in the name Of Joke. To mock my Culture, ridicule anything that is deemed sensitive an issue.
I'm in a serious world of creating a name for myself. Creating a new
Me. An expecting mother who has a new Creation in her Womb undergoes the
Extreme of sensitivity in her senses and her moods. I'm no different.
My brain and mind is just evolving to create something and the outcome is going to stay A lifetime of mine.
I'm not gonna tolerate cos I'm not the same me. Im tired of ppl who poke Fun On others for Their Own pleasure. Cos I know what they become. The biggest questionable joke Of Their Own Life. I've seen God make them suffer.
I wanna stay away. Smiling within

Contradicting Theory
Did you know that Librans usually find themselves in conflicting positions unlike other animal or human symbol zodiac signs.Astrologically speaking I'm a contradicting person. Being a Libra I'm someone who cant deny that my thoughts get into confusion when scaling both the ugly and good facts.
I love books. If you're short of idea on what to get for me on my birthdays, just give me something to read. I'll be more than happy. That explains why my simple ikea shelf has one of the most sophisticated reading materials relating to the mind powers, spiriutal& holy, self-help, stories of famous people and touching newspaper/magazine articles. All of these books have one thing in common. When I'm down these priceless writings would perk me up. They are my anti biotics to kill any sorta viral like stresses and sadness.
In total I would say I've gotten about 50 such reading materials. But quite sometime back, whenever I'm need of an energetic potion, I'll only ransack through the astrology books. I realised that there are much better proven ideas to succeed in life and why am I still referring to unguaranteed predictions? This in fact was degrading to those 50 odd books authors' pragmatic ideas.
When I open up to the contents of those books, I'll get hooked on it. Often calculating my current planetary positions and then will start Looking through the Internet for explanation. It is an never ending search. Like opening a Pandora box.
However,now its a different story. After consulting many astrologers, this is what one would say eventually. No Matter what your star sign is, have strong faith in yourself and in God. No man can be shaken when his mind is filled with the positivity. No Man succeed because he has the best planetary positions in his chart but because he is willing to sacrifice.
Last and this year is suppose to be the best part of my time. But today I'm stuck in a rut. Like Fuck I'll say. These horoscope predictions are bullshit.
I've decided to throw those books. I've no more horoscope books on my shelf...
I chose to Have trust in myself. I rather Learn how to pray and Learn how to be morally right...
"…The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective" (James 5:16).

Raavan vs Enthiran vs Ra-One
Wanna be my Chammak Challo..
O.O.O
Wanna be my Chammak Challo.
A popular song on many young mens' facebook status boxes. Among Indian men that is.
This song by Akon, who is an American Singer will go down in history. What amazes me is him singing in 'not too bad' Hindi. A much awaited Diwali release and definitely gonan be an item song of the year 2011.
Yes, so what is the Meaning of Chammak Challo?
- it is a derogatory word describing a flashy girl, who wear ornaments that gives jingling sounds when she moves. It is used in a teasing manner on a female.
Let us read what the Chammak Challo Bebo has got to say. (click on her for better view)

Sequels can Equal to hits.
We have seen sequels becoming big business in the Hollywood. The sci fiction and graphic intensive expensive sequeled movies like Spider Man, Pirates of the Carribean and Harry Potter are known to have drawn worldwide attention and cash box ringing instantly. Even lower budget films like Home Alone, Meet the Fockers and Hangover have proven similar global wide success.
In India where sequel movie production is still in the initial stage, many felt that testing waters can be too costly for the artistes. Presumably because audiences' attention span fell too short and even a general myth existed in Bollywood that the audience usually demanded a connection between the original film and its sequel.
Over time starting from 2000s the Bollywood has gotten a huge positive responses for sequels from the hit block buster’s like the series of Dhooms, Dostana 2, Don 2, Raktha Charitra Part I and II. While predominantly the craze has seized Bollywood, on the contrary, down south there are only few upcoming films, namely Aayirathil Oruvan, Billa, Bavani and Chandramugi 1 and 2 where the latter is released in Telegu..
The Tamil Cinema directors shouldn’t hesitate making a sequel and mark a new milestone for the Tamil cinema. Well here are some suggestions for Tamil movies where producing a Part 2 wouldn’t harm the financial aspects nor could it be dampened with negative responses.
Moondram Pirai
This movie was well received by the audiences despite its unconventional tear jerking ending. No doubt on its success when the film has been dubbed in Hindi, Telegu and given several awards for its Director Balu Mahendra and Kamal Hassan. However the heart wrenching ending could have, a sequel with “Happily Ever After” effect, if Sri Devi has learnt on how she has recuperated from her amnesia episodes under the care of Kamal. This time the plot can thicken on their search for each other by keeping the audiences guessing if they would ever get reunited again or not.
Anniyan Returns
Shankar hit movies linked with anti corruption sentiments is a must have. Towards the end of the film we have seen that Vikram’s character hasn’t recovered. Why spare a part 2 when the movie has captivated the audiences with unique fighting stunts along with his split personality disorder. We don’t see any reasons why a sequel may not go well with the audiences.
Kaaka Kaaka 2
Who would forget the life story narrations of AnbuChelvam IPS and his team’s brutal encounters? Gautham Menon has once again carved his direction versatility in this action cop movie. Perhaps Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyadu should have been another series of Kaakha Kaakha and possibly renamed as “Kaaka Kaaka 2-Vettaiyaadyu Vilaiyadu”. Well this can be done only if Jyothika is substituted by another female lead. ;-P
Anbe Sivam
Anbe Sivam is a clear product of Kamal’s anti-theistic views. The atheist Kamal’s character has weaved its timeless magic in our minds. Our suggestion is that he should continue to spread his beliefs and this time Anbe Sivam 2 plot shall be set in overseas, where there are Non-Resident Indians.
GOA
The trios escapade to Goa may not have tasted big success back at home but it was a huge hit in overseas. Sharing a similar storyline of Hollywood hit Hangover, this time the same trio or another set of actors would end up at an holistic city like Pune. No matter where they are the unlucky trios doings have enthralled deeply in minds and who wouldn’t want to witness their funny mishaps again.
Tamil Padam
If a Tamil movie takes a dig and mock the stereotypical of the other commercially success hit movies what could possibly happen? It would probably receive an overwhelming reception by grossing to 2.69 crores in Chennai Box Office. Though this movie, isn’t the first of its kind in Chennai, it has apparently fared better than its pioneer Quick Gun Murugan. Perhaps the sequel shall unleash the hits of 1970s-1980s.
Chennai 60028
Venkat Prabhu is a genius when he introduces a total league of new faces in this creatively titled hit film. Having cricket as the movie’s main cast, the Shark team didn’t fail to amuse us with their fights, romances, funny gigs and even their lopsided cricket skills. The ending was left in suspense to the viewers’ discretion on the outcome of their final cricket match against a young but talented boys' team. Let let the Sharks emerge as the Champions in the Part 1. And Please raise your hands if you don't wish to see The Sharks team to be ambitious, tougher and perhaps participate in interstate tournaments.

Love is a Sweet Venom
You know what is the most saddest thing in any positive relationship.
When two people who mean good to each other become enemies over any incident, regardless how trivial or serious, and just cant see each other eye to eye anymore.
best of friends/ lovers/ siblings/ neighbours/ partner(business). you can have many roles to this "best of" relationships. but when all falls apart and that name could easily tumble into the "Worst of enemies". Just one of its kind.
I believe that it takes the same amount of energy for Good and Evil to exist . The difference is their outputs; One eventually flourishes through pain and the other detoriate through ill pleasures. Obviously everyone in their right frame of mind wishes for the best. So why be so egoistic and lose own self?

wouldn't this better.
i wish to live a simple life.
sipping a warm cappucino along with a book.
listening to problems of people who wish to seek my solutions.
able to make others' day with a smile.
no manipulation of others' lives.
being very clear in my own objectives.
having no bills to worry;
life without mind boggling issues
that means no extension of my live towards lavishness.
friends for life.
accept life's imbalances.
able to fathom that happiness and sadness is a temproary phase.
able to live my life without others' jibes and killing vibes.
to practice a controlled tongue onto others and make sure others do likewise unto me.
to be respected silently and feared openly. (trust me this is better than vice versa, as ppl will challenge one out of curiousity if you're spoken highly at most times and start mocking you with their own thoughts)
