Kuttapi---my pet!!


Hey blog... sad that i never told about my kuttu... kuttapi is my parrot....just not
the typical parrot which is green and beautiful or the one that repeats wat we say...

It was one early morning , when kuttu fell in our balcony , chased by crows... initially i never knew it was a parrot... it was chooo small - a tiny fledgling... i shooed away the crows and took ugly kuttu in my hands... one hard peck-- my fingers started bleeding - naughty parrot!!
Dad & mom had given my 500 bucks for topping semester exams the previous day ...and i immediately took my cycle and called tim...we raced and bought a nice cage for kuttu...

Kuttu was and is such an egoistic parrot... Tim was the one who handled her..be it cleaning up the cage or feeding it...after the peck , I was paranoid about taking her.
Darling tim used to come home everday home to clean kuttu's cage...

Once tim had to go to bangalore for his show and i had to take care of kuttu all by myself.... she was never locked in the cage and used to roam freely inside the house....
Good that tim had his show...else i would have never been friends with kuttu.... i cant live with out her...
Only when kuttu developed the red ring around her neck , it dawned us that she is a male!!! But still i address her as a gal...molu, edi, vadi , podi etc lol... wonder whether kuttu had cursed me for that....

Whenever im at my home , she will be on my shoulders... i read stories to her and her expressions is worth watching when there is a change the intonations....
even now as im typing this....kuttu is on top of my monitor and is whistling away to glory....
Thanks to me... i have taught her 5 kinda whistle tunes hehe..., and few other words in malayalam...

Now im searching a cute lil bride for her..oops him... It would be nice to have two parrots... one each on my shoulder ;)

One of the most amazing love songs I have ever heard.

Yellow and Wanderlust
Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah they were all yellow,

I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called yellow

So then I took my turn
Oh all the things I've done
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know you know I love you so
You know I love you so

I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh all the things you do
Cause you were all yellow

I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know for you i bleed myself dry
For you i bleed myself dry

Its true look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine
look at the stars look how they shine for you

Yellow- Coldplay

One of the most amazing love songs I have ever heard. For you i bleed myself dry...deep....

Spam thats worth to be in my inbox, for a long long time!

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there...to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be but you lock eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.


And sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would never realize your potential, strength, will power or heart.


Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test limits of your soul.


Without these small tests, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.


The people you meet affect your life. The successes and downfalls that you experience can create whom you are, and the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact they are probably the most poignant and important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them because they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart.


If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but also because they are teaching you to love and open your heart and eyes to little things. Make every day count. Appreciate everything that you possibly can, for you may never experience it again.


Talk to people whom you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high. Hold you head up because you have every right to.


Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you. Create you own life and then go out and live it.

No more summer holidays....

Wail...sob...sob...sniff.. atshchoooooo..sniff
I hate to grow up , to shoulder responsibilities... I dont remember the day/date, the no. of smiles have reduced, I no longer have the chance of smelling the new text books and feeling them after they are neatly covered by dad....
The cycle-rounds, in the jam packed streets of chennai, the pleasure of licking the 5 Rs. icecream from kwality walls till the stick breaks.., the new-bag and other merchandise shopping before school reopens... visit to the book stores, long trips to native places, waiting desperatley for the envelope from school that says"Aishwarya.K roll no. 3 is promoted to--------",inspite of knowing that i would pass off another year... the afternoon naps, the outings with mum & dad ,visit to the poorly maintained vandaloor zoo....the PTC bus trips... Sundal at Marina beach ... hogging it without worrying about the hygiene factor et al.
Now... I am a proud owner of a house, an employee of a good company , i commute in airconditioned cars, visit private beaches but none of these can ever bring me the pleasure that i derived at childhood, wish i am born again and enjoy the smallest of all joys to the best!!
