Quote Wonderment (I)

I'm totally sick of examinations and stuff. World's worst stressors are exams. I've always had this opinion right from my childhood. Hmmm... So to get a break I was running through my old memories and thoughts. One such is the admiration for this quote,

"Sometimes people are beautiful.
Not in looks.
Not in what they say.
Just in what they are."

--Markus Zusak

The quote itself is amazing. Reminds me of so many things.
And note that Markus Zusak's wonderful book called 'The Book Thief' which was a good read.
Laziness blocks me from writing more. ;)

    The Entire theory of examination... Your knowlegde about a subject tested with a mere question of five is truly saddening and pityful. One should study not to score a 100 but to improve one's Know How on matters.... So my dear Ramya don take it to heart on how you perservere on your paper cause its the real life and the of how you use that knowlege that really matters!!!!!

    Even though the exams make you wax. After exams, when we are continuing our semesters, our face will again become brightening candle.

    "Imagine smiling after a slap in the face. Then think of doing it twenty-four hours a day. "

    Look, if you have the idea that I'm desperate to know who you are, then stop thinking so. Just stop being anonymous that creates an aura that I'm being baited. Okay?

Simple, yet poignant lyrics (II)

I've got a knack of discovering pleasant songs, excellent movies, endearing books very late in time, sometimes even after it's fad fades away. One such song is Perunthil nee enaku... The beauty of this song is that it relates to some very simple, unnoticed but pleasing moments in a our day to day life. The duet is of two people who sing about  what they mean to each other. There are some cute imperfections in Madhushri's tamil pronunciation but the male singer makes up for all that. Duh! Why do I even have to annotate the lyrics? It speaks for itself. ;) Perunthil nee enaku jannal oram Pin vasal mutrathil ne tulasi madam Vidumurai natkalil pallikoodam Vilayattu pillaigalin chella kobam Aalilla nalliravil ketkum padal Anbe anbe neeye (hmmm....)

2 States - Oh please, no!

I don't know why I chose to read '2 States' over 'The Subtle Knife'. My copy of 'Subtle Knife' is sleeping in the shelf. I wish I had finished it off instead of reading this one. M' Okay let me tell why this book was so insipid, [beware of spoilers hehe!] Possible reasons why I picked up this book: 1. Thought it would be a light-read. 2. It involved IIM A 3. Curiosity to know the speciality of Tamil girls 4. Heard it is a slapstick comedy [ which is not, in any way] Top reasons why I disliked it: 1. Cliched plot with stale scenes. [Ithellam nanga 'Poovellam Kettupar' la ye pathutomm, Chetan!!] 2. Making fun of South-Indians went overboard. [where Punjabis were never hurt in any dialogues, a very feeble mocking was clear] 3. Nothing less than a Bollywood drama, too filmy! 4. Totally predictable. 5. Ananya herself [there're are a multitude of reasons to hate her, which I won't enumerate here] 6.
