Student Suvidha - latest trend!!!

BSNL Kerala has launched Student Suvidha, a special mobile pre-paid package for students during Onam.The Scheme offers low cost tariff for local calls and 2,000 free SMS facility to any netwrok within Kerala per month and only 10 paise will be charged per SMS beyond the limit.

It's a fact that Suvidha has created a wave among the students..that too a strong wave. Demand for Suvidha sim is sky rocketing each day. Many students are hurrying for this, since the stock is limited(they say). Soo..many friends of mine have changed to Suvidha plan.

For the past few years, BSNL-Cellone has been considered as inferior to other mobile connection providers. Many of us rated Cellone plans as worthless and fruitless. It seemed like a sort of indifference towards BSNL by all.. It's true that many of the tariffs are not so beneficial.

But BSNL has come back with all its power and colour. I'm sure all other providers will come along with many more offers like this!!! So, BSNL-Cellone proved to be the trend setter.

I'm wondering what's the need of this 2000 free messages!!! Actually, now it's a flow of forwarded messages. To be frank, I dont read all such messages. Message inbox is always full. Some of my friends also feel like this. So, the other side of the coin is...there are so many victims also for this scheme.

***NAVARATRI WISHES TO ALL!!!***

It's distressing..

She felt loneliness in the crowd. Gloominess and helplessness clouded in her eyes. Her tears didn't wet her cheeks, but have frozen her heart.

Her days remained dark... Paleness tinted her distant dreams. She never wanted to hurt her dear ones...

Language without words called out her pain. She didn't know what to do next..everything seemed vague!!! She was frightened by the silence around her.

Something was pricking her soo.. deeply and piercingly. She even doubted, "is life showing its cruel face to her!!!"

....."I love walking in the rain because then no one knows I'm crying".....

Nice quote... Right?

Golden memories...

Memories pouring down it's colourful flowers laiden with the fragrance of nostalgia..... Good old times they were!! Today, on the way back to home, a group of school students in the bus and their murmering noise woke up the nostalgic sentiments in me.. My school days!!!

I'd my schooling in a near by convent school -- St.Joseph E.M.H.S, Anandapuram till my 10th class. And had my higher secondary education in St.Antonys HSS, Pudukad(largest HSS in Kerala). All the way to home, I was thinking of my school days. I wish, I were a small kid going to school, wearing uniform, with shoes, water bottle, school bag.. by school bus. I miss even my 'Panchara kuda'.


I'm not able to recollect anything from my KG classes :). And regarding lower primary classes too, have only a blurred memory. It was in my 3rd standard Achan got transferred to Malappuram and Amma to Coimbatore. And so, from my 3rd to 8th class, I with my chettan were with our grandmother in achan's ancestral home. He was my achan, amma and everything during those days. It was he who did all the duties of amma, in her absence even making me ready to go to school.


In UP classes, I was so naughty(like all others). And once I had a fight with a boy at school and I won in that fight. After that incident, we were like born-enemies. I remember - once he wrote in my book -- I will kill you. :) And the interesting thing is I was so afraid of him after that and had many nightmares, that he killing me :) Like wise a lot of interesting and exciting memories.. Those were the days of innocence, with no secrets, confusions and humiliations. Wasn't a hardworker or a book worm. But, somehow managed to score marks that were 'not that bad' :)

Then comes the '3 rocking years' of high-school period. Can say it as the best period in my academic life. By that time, my parents too got transferred to Thrissur. So happy I was.. both at home and at school. My school and my batch were simply superb!! So friendly we were with our teachers..

Used to participate in almost all items in youthfestival. But haven't ever tested my talent in sports :) They were the days full of enjoyment, thrill and happiness. Our batch was really an excellent one...active in all fields. Good competetion was there in my class in the case of studies too. And in my 10th standard, I was elected as the school-leader and best out-going student of that year :)(close your mouth.. how's it?).

I'm so closely attached with that school ...that is the relation of 12 years!! I consider it as 'the best' school. I miss all kinds of naughtiness we've done there, the fights we'd, journey in our school-bus, our group prayer in Chapel, our teachers, friends,..... everything and everything.

After my 10th, joined in St.Antony's, Pudukad for 11th/12th standard. Nothing special to write about those 2 years....so boring they were :(

I'm dedicating this post to my friends who studied with me till my 10th class. Cant express how much I love my school and the affection we all have for our our school. I wish, I could study there once again ...

But, I know..Past is past..

Can't rewind time..

Life is the moment we're living right now..

so, once again bye for all those good old times..

PS: Was it a lil lengthy one?

Interesting and *informative* :)

I've to travel in bus around 23 kms to reach my college in the morning and the same distance back home in the evening. It's really interesting to watch what others do in the bus and to overhear their conversations. And thus, have seen and met a lot of interesting characters in bus. A few are:

1. Lets start from bus-conductors. Most of them are cool-decent. But there are some, having 'mania for flirting', who are soo.. curious to know about our acads!! Some of them even dare to ask our phone number(my own experience).

2. Boys who always keep on looking for *new* girls getting in to the bus and staring at them and sometimes, giving them a wink and flying kiss too ;)

3. Middle aged gentlemen standing near the back door of the crowded KSRTC buses, as if they are getting some *special* happiness from this act. We feel like, they've given someone a word to stand there.

4. Ladies quarrelling eachother for having seats. And some of them even request students - "We are soo... tired after the work. So, let me take your seat",....as if we aren't tired at all.

5. Ladies hesitating to offer their seats to pregnant ladies, aged people or so...

6. Men occupying ladies-seats, hesitating to give their seats when ladies get in.

7. Both ladies and gents arguing with conductor over silly issues.

8. Both boys ang girls who are always engaged with their mobile phones, mostly messaging.

9. Some who have fallen in deep sleep.

10. 'Conversation - overhearing' is more interesting in 'ladies-only' bus. Actually, it's so difficult to overhear what all they say...such a hell of noise they make after getting in to the bus!! But I enjoy travelling in ladies-only bus. Their topics of discussion ranges from gossips to *international* matters ;) The list includes fashion, film, actors, love affairs, teacher's nick names and all kinds of Payinkili stuffs.

11. And atlast, some interesting personalities like me who are keenly interested in observing others' mannerisms :)

A wild simile!!!

Do relationships fade with time?

Of course. Most of the relationships do fade with time...atleast I think so.

Warning: I'm having a habit of going for some insane thoughts at times... Are they insane? Hmm..no, its not!! Some of you might find it so.. not claiming anything. Anyway, one among those stupidity goes here. I mean to say, Danger ahead!!

Okay. Back to the title - a wild simile!! I was thinking how much similar our life relationships and stars appearing on the sky, over a single night. Life is just like a starry night and each of our relations can be compared to the stars. The intensity of relationships we have is just like the brightness of stars. It may fade with time and circumstances... Right??

Can't resist admitting the fact that many good relations do get faded as time flies off. In the journey of life, it just happens that way, unknowingly. But.... 'To forget is a bliss' holds true at times. Isn't that true?

We know some stars vanish from our view gradually, along with, some others appearing and becoming much brighter. These all exactly depicts the relations we come across our way.

A few stars remain dim all through, which reminds me of the acquaintances we have. On the other hand, a few others shine as dazzling diamonds through out the night, that resemble the relations that are soo.. close to us always. Those stars would be symbolising our family relations.

I'm doubtful how many of you get the idea that I want to convey here and how you interpret this!! Everything is clear in my intellect, but don't know how to unveil it.. :( This topic had been there in my mind for the past two weeks, but had no idea how to start with.

PS 3: Am I going a bit crazy these days?

Sailing for a new horizon...

The sunny sky is gradually ebbing as if it is at the edge of pouring down its tears and venting out its distresses.. It's becoming more cloudy...and clouds becoming darker!! Eagles hovering above in large circles creating shadows below... Blurrred brushes of lightning appearing here and there... Whistling sound of thunder storms becoming more terrific... Disturbed sea lets out its huge monstruous rising tides in an alarming way...which appears to be sooo scary...

And so.... sailing for a new horizon, enjoying the melody of solitude!!

'THE' Week..

I've realised that being a regular blogger is not so an easy job. Now it's becoming a trend to start a blog by everyone. But only a few of them show justice to the blogger world, I guess. I know, I'm also not so a good blogger in this aspect. Sometimes when I finally come up with any topic, don't feel like writing.. and if I'm in a mood to write, then comes the 'scarcity of topics', I mean topic for a good-creative-interesting read.

Today too I was thinking what to write. And finally decided to draft the coming along write-up...

The last one week seems like a very long week for me...full of emotions and events. Had both bright moments(frankly saying..not soo bright) and 'dull' depressed moments. Starting from last saturday itself, it was full of happenings.... Here comes its condensed brief..

1. Had both extremes of emotions on the very first day.

2. Had to hurt someone who valued me a lot.

3. And I feel really sorry for that...

4. I too was deeply hurt by *some* reasons(Dont want to disclose it).

5. Had to act/pretend before others that I'm ok.

6. Realised the fact that having control over emotions is not soo.. easy.

7. Thank God for making me a part of my home....sweet home and grateful to You for giving me this much loving parents and chettan.

8. Had extreme mood swings over silly matters... and now feel ashamed - how weak I'm at heart!!

9. Had a one day trip from our class to Silent valley, which I enjoyed well.

10.Had a lot many assignmets/works at college.

11.Hoping to have a happy bright onset to my final two years in college.

12.Wish to have "a total transformation"(Dont ask me what do I mean by this).


Ok..that's all for now.. Coming week will be really a hectic one. A lot of assignments at class, preparations for sessional exams, record works... And finally my cousin sister's marriage coming next week. Today is her ring exchange. Got to go there.
