How does a sheep roll his eyes?

Today morning when our newspaper boy was travelling down from the 2nd floor in our apartment lift, the power went off and the lift got stuck. It seems as soon as the power went off, the boy exclaimed- 'aiyo fan off ayiduchu'[ Oh the fan has stopped ]:D

My mom's msg to me- 'I am swinging on a swing, never thought I would be able to do it':-) God sure tests our patience but sometimes I would really like to know- for how long?

I did it! I finally DID it. I joined a dance class, to learn a dance form called Bachata :-p Remember I cant even get my hips and hands to move in the same direction. Its quite an understatement to say that I have two left feet. But when a colleague told me about this 2 week dance course, I somehow wanted to go there and get over this inhibition of mine. Of course, I pulled along a protesting P. To be fair he protested only little for a person who has no interest in such things. So last evening we both landed at this place along with 5 other friends of mine. To our utter shock the place was filled with 16-17 year olds. The ones who have completed their Board exams and are looking to chill out. We cut quite a sorry figure in our formal clothes holding bags which contained our tracks. We almost decided to back out when they announced that the class was about to begin.

Later it got very silly. I use the word silly here for the want of a better way to describe his writing. Actually I felt that Sidin wrote the first part and asked someone else to complete it. Cant believe I wasted time reading the book. After looking for a DVD of Shawshank Redemption for a long time, I finally found a CD and watched it last friday night. The movie was very good, but I would still rate Green Mile above it. Its so bloody hot in Chennai that you could get baked [or roasted if you are one those oily kinds :p] if you step out of your building. And its gonna get worse, we hear. I am sure we Chennaites would not suffer much in hell, considering how much we are programmed to endure on earth!
