Sometimes it is strange how a perfectly good day can turn to bad, and then back to good.. Karthik was suggesting a while to trim my hair to make the split ends go away, so I went to a Chinese parlor and explained her what I want. She seemed to have understood what I said but in the end, she messed it up. I felt she cut it a little too short. I came out of the parlor disappointed. Karthik welcomed me with his bright smile and said ‘wow u look great… just the way I wanted’. I was like ‘Huh? Is he talking to me or to someone else?’ He, in his characteristic explanatory mode went on: “See Gal.. I always believed that layer-cutting would look better to you than level-cutting.. this U-shaped cut suits u better. May be for straightened hair the other style would suit well, which you can try just before the wedding, which is a few months away anyway..” Boy, he surely knows how to convince me.. Smile came back on my lips.Sometimes I feel it is an example of things to come. So far it has all been me, my style and my wishes. Now on, I might have to consider his, and try to see me through his eyes.
Gal: 25 mins to go, my ass is aching *auchh*
Jane: LOL. Just get up, walk for a few secs and come back to sit in a slightly
different position
Gal: the chairs for the pc are like the ones in cafeteria…tall ones
Jane: ur ass cheeks must be aching… not ur ass rite… 
Gal: haha, different position, then i got to spread my leg and sit…that wud be
very indecent
Jane: no! no!.. u can sit first, with a slight inclined position towards ur left.. and then slightly to ur right.. u know, using ur hip bones
Gal: lol, ppl might be thinking am doin ass exercise
Jane: it is called ‘butt blaster’… 
Gal: it wud be too synchronized, left right, left right
Jane: hahahaa
Gal: am observing if others in library having ass ache like me
Jane: 
Gal: well yeah, i can see some spreading and sitting
Jane: hard plastic chair huh? LOL
Gal: some shaking legs while typing
Jane: hahahaha
Gal: not plastic but small place to rest the ass, tall chair, no place to lean
it suits only Chinese asses !
Jane: the sitting area is hard or soft?
Gal: so so. well i can see even it’s not suitable for Chinese asses, they are
always trying different ‘asanas’. i’ve got new idea for my latest post, types
of chairs and ass asanas
Jane: ass asanas.. LOL….. that is a new term really..
Gal: majority didn’t really sit on the chair, juz lean their ass to the chair for
support. Perhaps i shud write proposal on this to my college management to change the chairs
Jane: careful Gal.. if someone sees u staring at others’ asses, ….
Gal: everyone is suffering with their own pain.
Jane: i am talking about other passers-by
Gal: one thing caught my surprise..there is a black ass, but sitting still
Jane: LOL… black asses are rock-solid… may be
Gal: believe me it’s a huge one, bigger than mine or maybe very cushy kinda.
Jane: u dont need to tell that.. i can imagine
Gal: today’s post on my blog :my day in the library
Jane: LOL.. ‘My ass in the library’ would be better
Gal: god’s grace, it’s 11.15..another 10 mins. i shud have written a journal frm
10.30 itself..writing on my ass ache’s progress… ‘As I am typing this, the pain from my ass cheeks is slowly spreading upwards my spine.. tears start rolling from my eyes as the pain starts escalating.. blah blah ..and then i realized i was not the only one
Jane: this exp taught me that, even everyday occurrences get a new meaning
when we start observing things in a different way.. for ex, someone moving his legs while browsing is interpreted by me as his/her way of reducing the pain.. spreading my legs and sitting is still a no-no for me, even if the pain is hurting my bums like hell..
Gal: lol , we can add more flavor to it tonite
Jane: LOL erkanavey ‘informal sex education’ ellam ezhudhi unn mele makkalukku oru super opinion irukkum.. next post indha madhiriya? Avlodhan
Gal: am writing on a common problem ppl do get ass spasms and mine happened to be in library
Jane: hahaah.. true including yours truly
Gal: i cud conclude by saying, blogging on one’s ass ache’s progress is one way of reducing the pain
Jane: and observing others also squirming gives u the consolation that u r not alone.. there are others in ur butt… sorry boat too…
Gal: it’s time for my ass to undergo second round of torture. see u later
Jane: this time in the class?ok bye
The only reason gal decided to watch AH-X was not that it’s a movie on racism or for her friend who raved about it, but for Edward Norton
Edward Norton plays a racist skin-head. He forms a Neo-Nazi group in which he along with his group members do anything to channel their hatred.
One night, few black guys break into his car, whereby Norton executes them. He serves three years in jail.
In jail, he hangs around with a bunch of Neo-Nazi. Soon, he realizes that they are not a fundamentalist but uses Neo-Nazi as an excuse to indulge in violence. Hence he decides to stay clear from this group. Enraged by this, they sexually assault him. He gets psychological support from his black professor.
In the mean time, he would befriend a fellow black prisoner who serves 6 years for stealing a TV. His three years jail experience transforms him.
His younger brother Danny idolizes Norton and follows his footsteps of becoming a Neo-Nazi, shaves his head and joins the skinhead gang.
Today Norton gets release.
Upon Norton’s release his former group arranges a party for him. At the party, Norton warns the chief leader to keep away from his brother and hits him when he refuses. He also persuades his skin-head girl friend to leave the group. Other members’ hesitancy to accept a changed Norton turns into violence, which Norton barely escapes.
His brother too turns against him. That’s where Norton explains his jail experience to him and frees Danny’s mind. That night Danny completes his American History X assignment which talks on his brother’s influence on him. Norton now becomes the bread winner of the family and drops his brother at school the next day.
In the school toilet, Danny would be shot dead by a black student. The movie ends in a touchy note by Danny’s skinhead experience as “Hate is baggage. Life is too short to be pissed off. It’s not worth it.”
Though the movie might sound like not everyone’s cup of tea yet gal feels that it should be seen by everyone. It clearly shows that one’s future is not determined by chance or fate, but ultimately by the choices one makes.
Don’t miss the scene where the black prisoner narrates the love making
There are very few lecturers whose teachings are hard to forget. Here are some of the gems who gal can’t afford to forget.
Mr. A a zoologist sir, is a very talented story teller. Here goes his story:
“Dear students although humans have evolved yet there are certain group of literates who still doesn’t know to have sex. (The class was terribly shocked, but not as shocked as his expression) One day, knowing I am a biologist, a couple came seeking for my help. The husband said “sir, I and my wife are married for 7 yrs and yet no baby” I asked the couple in concern… “How you guys have sex?” to that the husband replied “my wife has been drinking a glass of my sperm each night, but all in vain”. I was so sorry for them that although they both were engineers they didn’t know how to have proper sex. The next day I got a room ready for them with a blue film to introduce them the art of love making. After some months, both the couples came thanking me with flower garland.”
After that session, all the girls in her class had serious discussions on if guys produce that much ….and his name was immediately upgraded to Mr. Tonic.
Mr. D, a biology sir, took lesson on female reproductive system. His topic for the day was breasts. Here goes his introduction on the topic of breast:
“Today I am going to teach you all on breast or better known as mammary gland. Breast varies in shapes and sizes. Our Indian girls have somewhat normal size, but those Africansss (he paused aft a long thinking), and all the boys in the class started laughing. He continued…ahh , can you’ll see this ligament around the breast region? This is the ligament that the Hindi heroines use to shake! shake! in the hindi songs.”
The following day was a topic on brain. “As we know there are two types of layers which cover the brain, one is tightly attached to the brain, and another one is loosely attached to the brain, pia matter and arachnoid. This tightly attached one is like the girl’s tight skirt, the shape can be seen nicely, however the second layer is like the girl’s loose skirt, the shape can’t be seen but you know something is there.”
Mr. S, drama sir is the most famous one among the female students. You will come to know why. Here goes a masterpiece by him:
“You guys must pronounce properly. For example, those China guys always claim they are democlatic coz each morning they have election.”
Mr D and Mr S, both in their late 60’s were then known as POM, Perverted Old Man
To be continued …
The day started off very badly for Gal – in midst of her final project, her prof asked her class to bring a smiley which represents their dominant character. She then, sets her fingers on Yahoo Messenger and to her surprise she could associate couple of icons , not with her but on celebrities of Tamil Cinema . Here are some of her discoveries from top to bottom:
Super Star
Pandian – shedding few drop of tears reddens his face. believe it or not :watch his movies
Prabhu @ Potato
Manoj @ Bharthiraja’s offspring – TEETH, the only prominent feature on his face
sj GAY suryah
Prabhu Deva
Vishal – fighter cock of the year
Silly-Billy’s – Ramarasan@rajan , Bhagiaraj
Madhan Bob
Kalairani @ Mudhalvan’s mummy – tragedy is a must!
Prithviraj – crush
Nasser
Raja, Ramki – heroes of female dominated movies
Devayani , Suvalakshmi – homely ones good for nothing
Surya- stud
Bala – death is in evitable
KBalachandar – taboo or not taboo ?
Simbu, Ravi Krishna – Perverts
Shankar, Visu – everyone live happily ever after
Curiosity Kills Gbi Gaptain
Murali – love failure flicks
Sathiaraj – sarcasm (lollu party)
Ajith, Vijay- “one eye men in the kingdom of blindness”
Last but not least, None other than KAMAL !!!
Ultimately , Gal through this assignment , learnt that it’s always easier to match others with a smiley than her mysterious self
Does myth really make females inferior than male? If so, how? – Gal, a complete novice on feminism, in her philosophy class, tries to understand as her prof mumbles.
“In the past, women’s inferior physical strength coupled with her status as child bearer allowed her little opportunity to engage in productive work or to think intellectually. Men thus looked upon woman as other.
As civilization developed, men discovered the way to control women was by creating myths about them. In these myths, women fulfill everything that men lack. She becomes a chameleon who is as changeable as nature. Characteristic among the myths is urging the ideal women to negate or in some way deny herself.
1.Woman exist to make her man feel virile.
2.Woman gives up being what she wants to be so her man can be what he wants to be
3.Woman is the handmaid not only of God, but also of man
4.Woman has the burden of quilt – if her love is strong enough, she can make or break her man
5.Woman risks life and limb in a passionate attempt to save her lover from ruin, prison, or death.
Historically, men has oppressed women because of his fear and distrust of feminine nature. As creator of life, woman is mystery. She is the awesome mother-goddess. She is also animal-being unable to control her own reproductive process. Woman is bound to nature, doomed to immanence.”
Reflecting her thoughts, Gal feels that men could not create civilization without freeing himself from feminine mystery. But, objectifying the mysterious does not make women inherently inferior
