my trip.....

                 had gone to mayavaram finally after weeks and weeks of postponing..... me and mom.... sans odie our ever faithful, had gone to visit my ailing great grandmom, a 95 yr old lady who is the coolest person in my entire family i must say, shes one of the most forward thinking women i have seen among the whole bunch of narrow minded people around here, she was so cool though bed ridden, anyway met my great uncle too, thats not my 'great' uncle thats my great-uncle, myy grannys brother... or step brother, the spine of the family actually... hes sick too, after years of smoking his lungs are finally catching up and they aint moving even an inch guy is awesome hes like breathing with his tummy literally..... and wat a huge tummy that...the indignity of growing old and being at the mercy of someone else aint something i dig....i jus hope i dont go onto my second childhood for too long!!!
               
                after the socializing mom and i set out to see all the tempoles we can which fall on the way to nachiar koil which is where the famous garuda is from the speciality of this statue of garuda is that during the yearly festival while taking him out of his room he would weigh just right for 4 people to lift him the min he gets to the first level he doubles his weight and is jus right that he can be carried by 8, the next level he trebles his weight and requires 16,the next 64 and so on..... amazing... i dont know the scientific explaination for it but its true!!! now, where was i?? yeah on our way to see the amazing garudan we stopped over at 4 temples out of which two are stuck in my memory for ever!!! one is gonna be in my mind for ever because the sculptures there were so beautiful.... especially an idol of goddess Durga in the side wall of the main praharam of "om kaaleeshwarar" the temple where goddess Kaali worshipped lord Shiva, the durga was so pretty that she had a laugh on her face with eyes that were so beautiful.... her body language said she was laughing.... she looked so real.... so beautiful..... i just stood there looking at her....  the other two temples were the usual temples.....there was this one other temple mahalingeeshwarar, the temple was so huge, built in the typical chola period, perfect fortress plan. four large praharam's.....i went in felt so peaceful, one word that was in my mind awestruck, thats how i felt, was so totally awestruck, the power emnating from that temple was so great.... i felt so good... anyway... that abt sums it all up, went tru pondy had our dinner at ginger this place thats owned by mohanlal the actor and headed back home at 11.30... nothin great but yea my one day off:)

jus a bit of introspection day

lets see... today was off... may day.... i didnt know that and had rushed back o kanchi late last night, so i slept til early afternoon... woke up in a very introspective mood... just figured i have 2months to go and not having started studying yet makes things worse.... my college being regarded the most expensive medical school in the whole of asia..... which brings me down to planning my study schedule.... i always make my plans of how to study when to study by when i should be done with a particular subject, but the fact is even if i plan  everything realistically i dont seem to be executing it....like ever.... keep wondering where im going wrong... but not able to see where it is im actually going wrong.... its jus not happening,the execution is not working....
