On orbs and wishes and goodbyes

UPDATE BELOW

I thought i won't post so soon... but i wont be doing justice to my loyalty! Its FINALLY 9th of june!!!!!! YAAAAAAYYYY!!!! The world cup is finally here...You know, the feeling you get when you're watching a football match just doesnt happen with anything else! You're running with the players... you're cursing them for a wrong pass and wrong strike and an offside...and it goes on. This post is just to mark the beginning of this event that has been long awaited and that is going to be an international phenomenon...Can't wait!:D :D Waiting for the adrenalin rush!!!! And the JOSH!!! AAAAAAAH!!!

Now that i just finished writing about a round thing thats going to be kicked around and watched by loads of people, there's something else, that may not be equally round,but round all the same, and that may not be watched by the whole world, but has become a part of my eventless life...my new HELMET!!!
Black and shiny and says 'pretty' on both sides - ARGGH! I would like to list out the advantages of wearing a helmet:-

  • You get to experience LITERALLY what people call 'whistling of the wind'. Damn the wind really WHISTLES into your ears through the small gaps!
  • The noises of singara chennai are very beautifully subdued :D the honks and the curses that are better off not reaching the blessed ear :)
  • You get to look all cool and give this 'how can you not wear a helmet' look to the people with bare heads on the road!
  • For those of us who can never become astronauts, this is the best chance to look like one ;-) though u don't really get white helmets around the place. Black should do! Be happy with what u have!
  • There's no way a crow can shit right on your head :D :D ( i realised this when i saw a shadow of a crow on wind shield of the car infront of me. The crow was flying right above my head!)
  • You know a closed helmet is like some kinda enclosed entity...where if you sing, you can hear yourself! So that should help you judge your own voice ;-) and maybe you can be more careful when singing next time! Its a good sign if the helmet doesnt crack!
  • The HEAT of the sweet sun never gets to your head directly! Thus, no one can say i got crazy because of the sun... so thats one reason out to 'why divya is so crazy'!
  • Lastly, the boring reason people always give - its safe! ;-)


disadavantages - It ruffles your hair up and makes it look like you just got up and rushed to wherever!
Well... so thats abt the 2 'orbs' in my life :D though the former definitely has a more solid ground and is a greater influence, the latter can save my life :) HA! ok...bad one!


Next... to my cousin Visu, whoz having a jolly time in dubai - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Have fun drinking semiya payasam da ;-) and carrot kheer!And its so convinient that our kurtha sizes are the same da - am flicking the one we just bought you the minute u get to chennai! :D and to Sathya uncle, in kenya, enjoying the lovely rains, happy birthday to you too!


To karthik and anish - Goodbye, adios, adieu, kwaheri and whatever else! oh, tata ofcourse! Kar, have a nice time at dubai and get back soon!...and anish, good luck with the 'missions' u have in mind for B'lore! Hope it doesnt become mission impossible or something! :D


Just a ferw more hours to that first match!! Go GERMANY!!!!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

UPDATE - Forgot one very important thing... the king of pirates celebrates his birthday today too! Damn my cousin and uncle are so lucky to be sharing birthdays with him! To the king of high cheek bones and drunken dialogue, the captain so talented and handsome. To JOHNNY DEPP!! HAPPPYYYY BIRTHDAYYY TO YOU! Cant u treat us on your birthday with the shantaram movie?! Lol... may u act more, and blow me away each time i watch u on screen :D

Yours ' Football = euphoria'ly

Signing offff...........

And about the multi-lingual farewells, looks like ive taught u well!! hehe
U misssed ciao! So i'll use it.

tsb said...

i didnt read the post, but 2 words jumped out of it.

dubai and bangalore?? damn

Div said...

wow...its some great feeling to have 5 bloody comments to respond to! *smiling* lets start...

Anu - Nitya was telling me i shud make her interested in the game! hehe...we can def play when u come down! Nil, ready aah? India din make it di obv!!! lol... am stickin with england and argentina... and italy is my all time fave :D

Ignoramus - YES! That was your longest comment! I'd like to call it my ifluence ;-) Nice to know thats was u'd think! And u have agreed that i am a girl...;-) U've taught me well? Wat crap... lets just sa i picked it up with u sayin bye in all languages whil i stick to TATA! I do know all the impossible missions become possible... lets c what happens to this one ;-) Considering u r definitely not tom cruise!
And yes, that was a MOKKAI! but impossible does say that...!

Sand - Ya damn those 'pretty' signs... ya sand, am just trying to cover up...i made the guys at Ramkay stick those 2 stickers specially for me :D And 'helmets - everything but road safety' sounds perfect! LOL! And i think with every post u r making me more of an advertiser, marketing agent and not to forget, a brand ambassador! LOL! Here's to helmets... :D

tsb - Irony huh? Both your 'homes' comin in the same post...and tsb very proudly announces that he din read the post ;-) Very proud u've gone back to old ways!! Or wait, i think u never got out :D

Div said...

Some long comment that!

Div said...

people, pl check the update!!! means alot to me!

tsb said...

deutschlande for the win.

no questions asked.

that is the all.

(there...i did read your post!
or part of it atleast :p )

Div said...

tsb - and deutschlande did win! 4-2!! Some match...but they're definitely not winnin the cup ;-) they better brush up on defence...was sad yetserday! Lehmann out!pl! kahn in!

Div said...

and i added two more adavantages ;-) from today's experience!

tsb said...

lehmann had an amazing season with arsenal. he should be given another chance.

kahn, what can say. he's the sachin tendulkar of football :p
but appparently he didnt hvae too good a season with bayern munich, so klinsmann chose lehmann over kahn.

its in the defense though. germany's defense was not as strong as their offense. they have to work up on that.

Div said...

Lehmann may have had a good season with arsenal, but he screwed up the champ league final by getting a red card...and we'reall missing kahn! But kahn's growing old...he laughed when costarica scored goal 2...lehmann himself seemed to be smirking slightly! or tryin to supress a laugh...!
Yeah... the game seemed to have been played by the strikers alone. But the second half saw better defence, and passing too... England comes on in abt an hour... :D

tsb said...

yeah...i had to see both matches at a univ lounge.

and i missed all but 2 german goals. i was in the pursuit of free food in the meantime :D

Div said...

tsb - in pursuit of free food? aah... were u goin to get someone to pay for u? or were u goin to beg? ;-) or try 'singin' to earn a few bucks to buy your food with? or... well, i'll stop! :D

Ram said...

football=euphoria indeed! :) ... and what a start to the world cup too!!! amazing stuff ... i liked the T&T vs Sweden match a lot too. T&T did really well. the underdogs r doing better than expected ... except Serbia and Montenegro probably.
and the helmet thingy ... one more disadv to those who drive bikes ... cant hear the engine!!! is a pain initially ... and it gets u sweating! its stifling! aaargh! its irritating! unfortunately its one of those things that are good for us but irritating, cant like em ... like beans, kathrikkai, avarakkai and wat not! :S ...

tsb said...

kathrikkai tastes decent.

kathrikkai saadam with javarasi vadam is to die for though.

Div said...

ram - accepted! Under dogs are playin well...Ivory coast played good game against argentina...! And england was so unimpressive against paraguay...chi! And yes, helmets = sweating and stifling! LOL! And i hate kathrikai and avarakai too! its one of those universal hates i guess... ;-) except for tsb obviosly!

tsb - jevarasi vadaam, yes. Kathrikai sadam - NO! It just looks too much like fish, and can taste bad... :) sorry abt that!

tribanga said...

anyway, i saw the eng-paraguay match..i saw beckham kick the ball!! whee!!! hehe...anyway umm i saw some talk about food going on..i like chepankarangu and keerai and vathal...anyone??

Nikhil said...

*present Ma'am* is not Caulagi's line. It's not like he patented it or anything.
And I never comment without reading the post. I mean, what's the point in doing that?

And yes Signora, today is Italy v/s Ghana. Excited?
Tell you what, if you promise to cheer for Ukraine day after tmrw, I'll root for the Azzuri today. Deal? :)

Div said...

anu - U like keerai? Pl dont ever tell my mom that! She'd be ready to exchange daughters with your mom!!!! :D

Nik - sorry sir, was just kidding. ofcourse no point commenting without reading!tsb... hope u read that ;-) lol...
