Annual Day-22.7.2011

Hey everyone 

Have you ever been so excited for something and then ended up being disappointed ? Well I'm sure lots of you are nodding your heads because,this is something that happens to a lot of people, including me. Especially when you are studying in a school like mine. Annual Day didn't go exactly the way I planned. My previous year English teacher told me that the principal told that I HAD TO host the show . I told my aunt she said ok and everything was set. Infact they told me to wear a Gagara Choli since I would be getting on stage.I told them if they wanted me to do the hosting I would wear a Grand Churidar but no way was I going to wear a Gagara. They accepted and I gave my churidar material for stitching and got it ready by Thursday evening. Everything was set. 

So, the day finally arrived . I mean it was a big thing for me since the Annual Day was been conducted after four YEARS and I got the opportunity to host it with BOTH my brothers , but it would have been a thousand times better if my father were here.  Anyway I went to school at 4:00 pm since the programme starts at 5:00pm . The Chief Guest was Gokula Indira , I had no idea who she was until yesterday. The principal told us that Gokula Indira was attending three functions on the same day and she would be in school sharp at 5:00 pm . So that meant we had to be here about an hour earlier and that's exactly what we all did. 

Remember how I told you that Annual Day didn't go the way I planned and it was really disappointing ? Well here is where all the disappointment starts. 

No.1 - My previous year English teacher told me that hosting was going to be off-stage not on-stage, which meant me wearing all that fancy Churidar with all those itchy jewelery was a total waste. But I was happy at least I was still hosting.(Trying to be a mature girl.)

No.2-It started to rain. Yep that's right after four years the school finally conducts the Annual Day and guess what?It rains , but then it stopped for about fifteen minutes and then it started again but this time it was raining heavily. All the parents were holding the chairs over their heads (what a sight huh?)  and some of the students got soaking wet. I started to get all itchy and sweaty due to the humidity and the rain especially with that dress. Disaster isn't it ?

No.3-The Chief Guest arrived one and a half hour late. The principal told she would arrive sharp at 5:00pm but instead she arrived at 6:35 pm. By then all the parents were getting restless and really bored.

No.4- Since the Chief Guest arrived late and time was running out the principal didn't allow me to talk in the beginning at all! She read the whole welcome speech. My teachers were yelling at me that I was not hosting the show properly and one of the Sirs just came up and told the hosting is horrible and that we were going to slow! Seriously?


No.5-The principal was reading out the students name who were hosting the Annual Day, both my brothers names were mentioned but my name was not on the list at all! The principal didn't mention my name AT ALL . Another fact is that one of my brother that is Abhi was not hosting Annual Day! He was supposed to be the host for Sports Day but they mentioned his name and not mine. Terrible isn't it ? I almost cried right there. My English teacher told me not to worry and just to host the show. So I did.(Again trying to be mature.)


No.6- I hosted for only 4 dances the rest was done by other students. I was just standing there with heels doing nothing. Since I was standing for hours wearing heels my legs and back started aching. The teachers took up all the chairs, there was only one chair but it would be rude if I sat with all the teachers. (How long do I try to act mature?)

No.7- Biggest disappointment of all was that my dad couldn't attend the programme, He told me to at least record the entire programme so he could watch it after he arrived. Since I was standing next to the teacher I didn't have a clear view of the stage and my cousin brother was having my mobile so I couldn't even take a video for my dad.

Rather than that it was kind of okay , nothing really great. A few dances were good especially the Hip-hop done my 12th Grader boys. Annual Day turned out to be Annoying Day for me. I was standing there OFF-STAGE wearing a grand churidar and heels with my legs and back aching for no reason at all. Glad my dad didn't get to see all this or it would have been a big problem. So,now that you read my Annual Day story what do YOU think of it? Whats YOUR point of view ? Tell me in the comments. A piece of advice would be great too. 

So this is me signing off
Hope you had fun reading than I did typing.
Keep Smiling and take care.

My Appreciation to all.

Hey everyone,

Thank you all for your very kind comments and praises about my blog. (Even with 
all the grammatical mistakes).

I see that a majority of you like the introduction a lot. Thank you all for the great advice, which will surely help me to publish better posts in the future. Most importantly, a huge thanks for those of you who stopped and took a minute to pray for my friend Aj Johnson. 


Two or three people had told me to publish posts in Tamil later on. I am sorry but 
that won't happen in the very near future. (Though for the sake of the people who requested I'll try my best) I already have so many mistakes posting in English just imagine how it would be if I posted in Tamil. People who requested me to post in Tamil would regret it a lot.  But I'll still try.


Anyhow once again thank you all sooooooo much. Will publish more posts whenever I do have 
the time. Until then keep reading both my posts over and over again. (Just Kidding! ) 


So this is me signing off  
Keep Smiling and Take Care

A Huge Introduction

Hello Everyone

My name is Jezira Fathima, well known as Jezi. This is my first post on my brand new blog! I never thought I would be actually writing a blog. [well actually typing] My father writes a blog which obviously you all are aware of. It is pretty famous. But then, my brother started a blog as well! It was well received. So I thought, 'Why not give it shot?' 

Giving it a shot is fine, but what do I write about for my first post? Well then it hit me, why not tell everyone about myself in a much more elaborate way? Besides not everyone starts off their blog with an introduction of themselves. And well, that's exactly what I'm going to do. 

Starting off with the fact that I am very talkative. At first, to new people, I do come off a bit shy. But eventually I will get used to them and I will start yapping. It doesn't have to be important. It could be the most random thing and I would still talk about. If I'm at a party and it's filled with absolute strangers, even if I get one person to talk to, I will. Trust me, that's enough for me to get through the entire party. Though, I never start the conversation.Someone has to come up to me and ask my name or how I'm doing or something like that. 

I believe that no matter how old I get, I will still have immense amount of love for my kitchen playsets. I was obsessed with it as a kid, and I still am. If anyone asked me what I want for my birthday that's the first thing that would pop up into my mind. But since that would be very embarrassing and maybe weird I do not ask for it. 

I am a songaholic or music addict or whatever you would like to call it. I will do absolutely nothing and listen to songs all day long. As long as the song is meaningful and relatable I will listen to it irrespective of the genre and language. I just love it that much. So for those of you who know me a little too well, that would explain why I spend hours on Youtube. 

I can never decide. It's because I can never decide, I don't have a favourite of anything. Though somehow over the last few years, I have developed to have a favourite colour, favourite number and favourite food. That's it. If you ask me something like my favourite movie or song or book I'll just stare at you. I just think it's the fact that no matter what it is, time to time it gets better. So if there's a good movie today, I'll love it till another great movie comes out so I can never have an all time favourite thing. For example if you were given the option to choose between pancakes and waffles, what would you do?! Both are good! You might get the satisfaction of having either one but you also end up missing out on the other good one. Basically I just want everything at once! 

I love cooking! Now that may come as a surprise to most of you but I genuinely love to cook. Though I do not know much cooking I love to cook the small things that I do. Even if it's just boiling an egg I still love it. I suppose maybe it's something I got from my mother because she used to be obsessed with cooking. She had a huge collection of recipes and cook books and watched alot of cooking shows too![Love you ma!] Just like I play alot of cooking games! [Not the same thing, I know] Though, alot of recipes require the oven. Not the microwave. A real baking oven. I don't seem to have one, so no baking! Sad luck. 

I am very clumsy. I will literally see the wall infront of me and then bump my head into it. Actually 'bump' sounds very light. Let me re-phrase that again. I will literally see the wall infront of me and then SMASH my head into it. The funny thing is, since I'm clumsy I try to AVOID bumping into things but that's when I actually bump into something and get hurt or hurt someone else! The times I've hit my head while being careful is more compared to the times I've hit my head when I'm careless. I drop things. I spill things. I hit things. [People also, not on purpose] VERY CLUMSY. Definitely not proud of that. 

I will do everything that I have to but if I'm not in the 'mood' I will not! If I have to wash the dishes or clean the room or arrange the shelf I will. Once I put my mind to something I will do it but you see I don't put my mind to it. It's like I don't even bother. If I'm in the mood for spring cleaning then I'll do the cleaning perfectly but if not, then I'll just dust off here and there and try to finish as quick as possible. 

Well that's enough of me! I hope my introduction made you smile and pursued you into reading my future posts. I will try to post on a regular basis. 

Keep smiling and take care :) 

Jezi.
