It is nature that if someone agitates you.. u find some other person trying to tranquilize you.. sometimes it can be mere facts which acts as a peace-maker!!
How do you feel if it is the same person who calms you down ?? The one who stirs up ur mind is the one who settles it !!
There are so many incidents which i can share here but i rate one below "The Best"...
Characters: me and my bro, mom in cameo role
We normally studied together... Although it was more of a battle and less of books, lets stick to the word "study"..
His assignments usually were writing numbers from 1-20, or A-Z ... and i was expected to teach him (I was a teacher back then only :P)
Our study room is basically attic.. coz we were not allowed to watch tv.. If it were to be room we would peep through the door and watch the serials!! so my parents decided to put us in attic.. hehe... least they knew we could aramse watch thru the window ;).. so we were basically very happy there!!
Cutain raise....
Im in "Study room".. my bro comes with his "big study desk" (he wanted it to be lil bigger than mine.. just for show off.. eventually he shared part of my desk only :-) ) Sits next to me with his book opened and a pencil... pokes me and shows the assignment part
hmm.. as usual numbers from 1 -20..
me: first 1-10 bari amele mundak helkodtini
he nods his head and starts writing silently... some relief for me..
After 10 mins....
him: akka aitu.. 10 admele??
me: hannondu.. ondu ondu hannodu.. ondu erdu hannerdu.. ondu mooru hadmooru.......
He starts writing as im saying it.. this continues for 4-5 times.. he repeatedly asks me "10 admele?" and i patiently reply "hannondu"..
me: nanenu helalla next.. nine baribeku.... nan helkottid agide
he just nods his head and starts writing........
A moment later
him: Akka.. Idadmele enu?? (pointing towards 10)
me(giving a cold stare): hannondu
he isn't done there..
him: ond admele??
me(with frustration): ondu ondu hannondu.. esht sala helbek hari..
silently writes it and the next moment comes his next question
him: Akka ondu erdu enu?
Me(almost burning with fury): hannerdu.. mundak nanenu helalla.. nine baribeku
he nods his head.. and try writing on his own..
scribbles something in his book.. looks at me and then starts writing again.. Out of curiosity i look at his book.. Not a thing written after 12!!
I yell at him on top of my voice saying i cant teach u anymore.. how many times i have to teach you.. blah blah blah.. Now this is where mom comes into picture.. she comes in to rescue him and convince that she would help him complete his assignments..
He leaves the room silently.. I feel very bad for the act but convince myself somehow and start reading..
Hold on... It wont end there!!!
After sometime... he silently climb up the stairs with his book and pencil.. I act as though i have not seen him coming.. crawls next to me.. opens his book... with an innocent smile he gently pokes me "Akka 10 admele enu?" :-)
Thats it!! My anger meter drops dead from 100 to 0 in one shot!!
He always knew the technique to appease me.. He does all nice things untill he sees me smiling.. Sometimes i act as though im not pleased by his actions just to see more!! Once he catches me smiling his demand list grows right away!! "akka sanje maggi madkode", "nang gobhi manchuri beku", "maneli chips e illa" goes on and on!!! :-)

Bowled over by Mysore's viewpoint!!!
Four friends.. One car.. Trip to mysore!!!!
Its always a last minute plan.. everytime, planning starts few weeks before.. but execution phase never runs smoothly.. however it finally turns out to be a different destination.. so planning starts all over again at that last minute and finally bags packed for trip!! ;-)
This time also was no different.. we had planned for coorg trip but finally settled for mysore.. Saturday we stayed in Amblee resort which is just beside river kaveri.. I loved it for two reasons.. 1) Riverside 2) Swing ;) I have this insatiable longing towards water and swings (I always dream of building a house riverside with different kinds of swings ;) well, thats just a dream).. The resort has a swimming pool but no tubes.. now that was the saddest part.. all my daydreaming of floating on water went for a toss.. :-( one of my friend came up with this innovative idea that u can actually swim with the help of a volleyball !!.. hold the volleyball tight and start swimming it would save u from sinking.. it worked perfect! however, when my hands slipped from it someone had to save me from drowning!!
Next day we headed for mysore.. balmuri edmuri falls, planetX, chamundi hills were on the list.. balmuri falls was just awesome.. Coracle ride was fun.. its the first time i sat in a coracle so i was all excited... at some point he swirls it round n round and the whole world comes spinning to you..!!
We spent the whole evening in planetX.. bowling, air hockey and some kids game all came our way.. when it comes to bowling i always have an excuse.. the ball is heavy.. ;) but this time i had an added excuse.. "guess the machine is not proper.. its not adding my scores properly :P" when its TK's turn, he always tried for a strike but NO!! one of the pin would stand there not ready to fall.. very adamant huh? however, it was reverse in my case.. the pins fell as though they are dead bored of standing and waiting for the ball to just touch them!! sagara was careful everytime he rolled the ball but couldnt resist gutter sometimes ;-) well kartik was very dissappointed when he lost the game to TK and sweared not to play the game again.. hehehe :)
It was around 8, we left for chamundi hills.. awesome wind.. superb view of the city.. The viewpoint was terrific.. at that altitude, wind catches speed and tries to blow you away.. mysore palace was the highlight.. It was like an island in the sea of light.. For the first time, i looked down instead of staring at the sky in the night.. stunning view.. those few minutes conquered me and lingered all night.. :-)
