Surprise! Here's the news.....I am your surprise! I am Josh. Sneha's friend. Yeah...she's got her December tests and that's kept her occupied..and ahem..she's entrusted me with the job of writing her New Year's post..
Okey..Iam Josh, from the land of the Kangaroo...that's Australia for all those who couldn't connect.Anyway, I am 18..and I love surfing(in water). I stay in Sydney..Sneha hates me for that(lol!)Yeah..I love reading blogs and this is my first attempt at anything literary..phew! I guess I've talked a lot about myself, mate!
So...Sneha, I don't understand her..sometimes she's this mature, understanding, caring adult..and the next minute she's a kid, she lives in her own world! Yeah..she's a 'Flicka'. She always listens to her heart.. She can write a bit..and this blog of her's rocks big time! And yeah..her addiction to Brett Lee is much more than my addiction to surfing! I guess he can be proud of having a fan like her..Ok..she does not deserve such elevation.
About 2007 now, what do I say..the Aussies rocked as usual...winning the Cricket World Cup and all...Team India won the T20(so what?) South Africa beat in the World Rugby Finals(Yippee! they beat England)..By the way Ian Thorpe, this web missy's idol for a long time, retired from swimming! Boy, wasn't she pissed when it was alleged that he took drugs..
And now coming to football, our lassie's team Arsenal, is right now sitting pretty on top of the EPL table. She was quite pissed when Henry left Arsenal and went to Barca! She called him a traitor and all Brazil won the Copa America, that too without Kaka and Ronaldinho..
Tennis the usual story....it was Fedex and Henin all the way.. And I guess I've talked all that I possibly can about sports..
Blood Diamond was arguably the best motion picture of the year 2007..and Leonardo DiCaprio...outdid himself..seriously...The Departed was alright too..but Blood Diamond deserved the Oscar! I thought Little Miss Sunshine was definately worth a watch(Oh! yeah..Sneha has'nt seen it). The Last King of Scotland, Dreamgirls, were ok. And this year...thanx to all my Indian friends in Sydney, I watched my first Hindi movie, Om Shanti Om. It was seriously an experience of a kind! There was soo much song and dance. I thought the actress looked hot!
And I guess that's enough of me polluting this lovely blog of her's. I am gonna be so dead when she reads this post. Iam sure she'll delete it immediately. I hope she likes the new layout....lol! Okey and
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have a nice year..............

Hey, its been a year since I've actually started posting..I mean imagine this...I write and people actually have time to read what I write...ok, I have done some really stupid things this year, but whatever I have been upto..I have always learnt new lessons..ohk, that's just me getting really philosophical out here..ho hum! Anyway...this piece of the internet has helped me voice out my views on several things, has helped me share my misery and happiness with all those out there, and the best of all, has helped me make new friends!
So my blog contained cricket, Brett Lee, movies, my college..and yeah! loads of other things. It was good to see India win something(finally!)..this year..and it was good to know that Brett Lee now, has 250 test wickets now! Yeah, I guess that's all for my anniversery post..I ' ll have to go study now..yeah..PRE-BOARDS....
ASTA LA VISTA
(there's a little surprise for u ppl in mah next post!!!!!)

Chicken?

The other day I was watching the KFC sponsored T20 match between the Aussies and the Kiwis..it was funny to see the Aussie Jerseys stamped right across the middle with the KFC logo! The mighty Aussies without realising it had themselves marked 'CHICKEN'. There were several unusual things in the match...it was one match to be remembered by all.
Especially , Luke Pomersbach...who came to enjoy the game when the Aussie selectors called him and asked him to come to the dressing room. So, off he ran from the grass hill to the Aussie dressing room! What a debut! I mean.........seriously...
It happens only in Australia!
So it got me thinking..I dont know if it's the KFC factor or what..I was just comparing each Aussie cricketer to a KFC chicken....So, here's my list
1)Ricky Ponting-he's the KFC Original Recipe...Colonel's secret recipe..
2)Adam Gilchrist-Extra Crispy, and LOUD!
3)Mathew Hayden-Chicken in a bucket....nothing can beat this size!(sry man!)
4)Andrew Symonds-Pot pie..
5)Micheal Clarke-Chicken Popcorn
I have not really thought about the other names...but ofcourse there's Brett Lee and he definetly is..
Chicken strips....yummy....
So,instead of having the player's nicknames on their Jerseys..KFC should have made them wear the names from the KFC menu!!!!!!!!
Adios!

or are these the real chicken?????

One of the things you notice studying in a Junior College in Hyderabad....is the miserable and incomprehensible use of the English language. Yeah...it shocks me! Why is it that all maths teachers are experts at mutilating this language? Why?
So, there are a few examples of the pearls, we get to hear in class

'Look at here' (it means-look at me!)

'Unemployment persons' (Unemployed people!)

'I saw you in Jubilee Hills with my wife,I was there with her to buy vegetables!'(Christ!)

'Government is setupping..a new project!' (Aww come on...)

'Husband died is Dead!'

And the winner is.........

'The word 'Associations' has how many 'vovules'?(it's not ovules...its simply, vowels!)

'Maths is a world of substitution....you don't wear the same shirt everyday...'
I am not saying that my English is flawless or anything...but there is a certain level of it to be spoken, after all my College proudly declares itself to be:
'LITTLE FLOWER JUNIOR COLLEGE'
(English Medium)
If you have a funny accent, its excusable....but errors like,'India is hasing a many population', I mean come on. Get a life people!
So...I guess you have an idea about how much people suffer in my 'English Medium' Khalege!!!!

I study in a dump of a Junior College...Ok, I have already established this fact a billion times.
One of the most irritating things about of my College is the Dress code for the girls!
'Girls are advised to wear Salwar Kameez'
-Prospectus, LFJC...
Why? Why only the girls? The prospectus only advises us to wear Salwar Kameez, but the teachers enforce it like a rule. It's sick! India is supposedly a Democratic country. The Constitution garantees Indian citizens the right to express themselves. And the dress code directly violates this right of the girl students..
The thing is....our great new Principle...about whom most of my readers know..inflicted more pain on our shoulders...quite literally, now Girls have to pin their 'Chunnis' to their shoulders! Lol...I mean find me a girl who is ready to do that!
The thing that irritates me the most is the fact that the guys can wear anything they like. Not fair! This is First grade discrimination! So you get guys wearing shredded Jeans, torn Ts, low waist pants...sab kuch chalega for the guys...
Their explanation for the dress code..Girls will not be subjected to harassment. I mean come on..find me a girl in Lfjc who does not have a secret admirer..The whole arrangement sucks!
If a girl gets harassed, it's not because of the attire...it's more because of her attitude. Some girls deny this...they want the dress code for their protection....Please such girls should realise this very important fact. You can wear a low waisted Jeans and still be considered 'decent'! And one more thing....you will not be in LFJC for the rest of your life!
So, I am anyway coming to the end of my term in Little Flower Central Jail...I could not change the system....I hope one of my juniors or their juniors can finally bring justice to the girls in this College!!!!!!!

I've been living my my grandparents from the past..let's say..5 months. The experience was pretty educational...yup..you got me right! I learnt a lot of things..like keeping my room clean for instance! yeah....my Gran does not leave me...till that job's done!
The other thing which I am really becoming painfully aware of these days is the mundane existance of Telugu soaps..never in my whole life did I know of the thriving Telugu Soap industry.Each soap is more punishing that the other! I hate the 8:30 to 9:30 pm slot( Well, I have to sit through that..as it's dinner time and Grandpa believes in 'eating together'!(LOL..how can you eat together ....when the TV's on?).
So everyday..I am subjected to atleast 15 min of horrible family sagas. Well, the length depends on how fast I am able to down dinner!
The storyline is pathetic..ok, I guess they can make them more believable! Take this guy for instance, he was stabbed atleast 10 times...10 times, and he still musters up the strength to walk..yes , walk to the nearest Multispeciality Hospital. And the same hospital manages to patch him up....aww come on! This is not all..this same guy is put in a mental institution..and is subjected to shock treatment..and he still manages to stay alive..and he manages to escape from the institution. I mean...people, you cannot rewrite Science Books!
This is more crappy than having to see the Great RAJNI KANTH 'flying' in Chadramukhi! See..super heroes all the way!
I guess as long as people like my Grandparents keep watching...... plenty of such utter crap will be telecast on the telly. The number of episodes keeps increasing day by day. These people beat Ekta Kapoor at being absurd! I guess she could learn a few lessons on 'Macho men' here! Lol!
So..Cya guys later............

I have noticed something..something very very very disturbing..my Cable operator hates me. He detests me. He treats me like scum. I know he's got some sort of a problem with me. I wonder what I did to him..
You may not believe this... but take a look at the events that have taken place over the past few weeks..
I plan to watch a footie game..this game is telecast in Starsports, it is usually after midnight..till 10pm the TV has Starsports, when I switch it on at 1am to watch the match...BAM! No Starsports..instead we have ESPN. Crap..
Last year when I used to wake up at 5am to watch Lee bowl...the channel which was there in the TV...used to be replaced by another channel.
I have missed watching several movies...'cause Starmovies used to disappear the minute I wanted to watch a movie.
No amount of calling, scolding, can change that guy. Nothing.
He'll just say,' Your inconvenience is deeply regretted.' and according to the Indian Contract Act, after that statement you cannot do anything.
It's really tough to watch a footie match on the internet. The streams hardly connect, and you end up downloading some complicated software..and you end up getting frustrated. Refreshing the page every now and then gets really bugging..
The worst part is you cannot see your stars...
So , these are all the questions related to Cable operaters...
