I always felt that Colourcloud Palace anime was a bit of a let down and somehow was not so interested even the first time that I saw it. I did try searching for it, and bless my ignorance, I found out that the alternative name was Saiunkoku Monogatari, Japanese name that is. My ignorance knows no bounds really. >.>
Of course I had heard of that name! So ignorant to have not known earlier that it is the same thing. T___T
So, ever my trusty site, Mangafox had it, after brutally surprising me with no scans of InuYasha and my favourite Clamp School Detectives. And the manga is fantastic, even though it is a bit slow. I am not sure when it is published every month, like for La Corda, I know LaLa publishes it on the 21st of every month, but dunno about this.
Somehow, I loved the manga. Was really nice. :D
It's rank is no justification though, really. 1290th something. How horrible. Such a nice series, really. T__T
Music...I am still addicted and enamoured by the CD my music teacher gave me. And ignorantly enough, I still do not know the pieces' names and their composers. What a pain, really. Then again, it is difficult for my teacher to tell me in order the songs he gave in the CD unless he hears them again. Have to wait till Sunday then again. Sigh.
What I find myself doing these days is that after listening till late in the night, I have the tune playing in my head, awake under the invitingly warm quilts, and digging through the music archives of my mind to match the tune with the composer; the style of the composer, whose it might be, suits whose style of music, and just literally going berserk and telling myself repeatedly how little I know music still. It sucks to not know the pieces, really.
This collection is gem, nonetheless. My wholehearted thanks to my teacher. :)
Sometimes you come to know a lot through music. Simple things really, but profound nonetheless. Pain, longing, melancholia, sadness are powerful tools of emotion. And when such emotions are played and expressed by an instrument, the beauty of the instrument comes out; be it the violin, cello, piccolo, trumpet, sax, or the piano, or even the most powerful of all instruments, the human voice.
Sometimes I get into a really philosophical mood, and with such timelessly classical music playing, who wouldn't?
Thanks for reading.
Di ciao.

Only problem: as is with Windows and all software bullshits, the tracks are listed as Track 1, 2 and so on, and am quite at a loss when it comes to knowing which piece is named what and composed by whom. Sheesh.
I mailed my teacher asking for the names and hopefully I will know by tommorow. :)
After a really long time I have sat down and actually read my drafts properly before publishing them. Not that I publish in a hurried manner, or that the proofreading isn't done well. It's just that after a long time, I actually have time to read the entire story and tweak here and there in a proper manner before publishing.
I am incredibly tempted to publish again by this evening because teachnically, my draft is absolutely ready, and the second reason is because I have recieved another review, this time from Trisha, and very encouraging and heartwarming words indeed.
I will probably never get over how I put in so much effort for a fic and then I don't get the feedback I deserve. So will not bore the reader with that again. But you will get this line from me often. ;D
I wanted to write a lot more about CLAMP yesterday, but couldn't, so am giving that a shot again.
When they moved to Tokyo, they rented an apartment, a two roomed one, for seven people. Nekoi-san once said in regard to that, " The only private space we had was under our desks."
Ohkawa Nanase-san did say that she thought she was going to "die there."
Their first publication was RG Veda, serialized in Shinshokan's Wings magazine in 1989. At first it was planned on a one shot but due to good reader response, they produced many more volumes. Shinshokan was always hot on their tails though, as after the publication of each chapter, they would threaten to cease publication should the popularity fall. What a publisher. Are all publishers such a pain in the ass?
That was 1989. In July the same year, they began publishing Man of Many Faces, publisher was Genki comics and then Tokyo Babylon was serialized in Wings magazine, in March 1990.
In August 1991, Genki comics serialized Dukylon:Clamp School Defenders and in December, Clamp School Detectives. ( My favourite! Okay, other than CCS. :P ). Clamp School Defenders was the manga that Igurashi-san, Nekoi san, and Mokona-san enjoyed working on most.
In March 1996, came Cardcaptor Sakura, which catapulted them to fame. This is also the manga that Ohkawa-san enjoyed working the most on, as it was not a tragedy unlike her previous works.

I tried to put the picture in the middle. To no avail. T__T
My sister and I were a bit shell shocked at how beautiful they manage to look even now, as they are in their 40s.
And a solemn promise was made to look after ourselves and make ourselves this good looking even when we are 40. Seriously, we did.
I am still feeling a bit crazy with not knowing the names of the mind blowing tracks which are playing for over an hour now.
Ah well.
Hoping I know soon.
This ends here. For today.
Hopefully another entry in a day or so.
Am craving for my studies again. Writing and reading keeps the boredom at bay.

Firstly, some really wonderful news: I finished the second chapter of Illusions of a Promise, my new Clamp fanfic.
After two and a half hours of constant writing. I haven't written for this long a stretch since May. Felt so good.
But now I am left with a sense of guilt for not making my day productive enough, so to speak. Artistically, yes, my creative juices flow is on overdrive, since I have nothing much to do these days now that the exams are over.
But, as my sister says, when I look back on the day, I feel like I may have wasted a part of the day. Ah well.
Can't help the guilt now, can I, when I am already guilty?
About my fanfic. I find it a bit peculiar that inspite of the fact that CSD is not the most popular of all manga, there are 20 pages of stories archived in fanfiction.net, and so very few reviews. Mind boggling and kinda traumatic, if you ask me.
I haven't recieved any new reveiws on the new chapter I posted yesterday, and until I get some, I am not posting again. I don't wish to be disheartened, so getting reviews is the only method of getting my out of my coming depression.
Speaking of Clamp School Detectives, I browsed a bit for the team of mangaka who are the brains behind the CSD, CCS, xxxHolic and more...CLAMP themselves.
When they started out, in 1988, CLAMP consisted of 11 mangaka, who shared a common interest for manga and art. By 1993, there were only four from the original group: Igarashi Satsuki-san, Nekoi Tsubaki-san, Mokona-san, and Ohkawa Nanase-san.
Look where they are today, 20 years later: the most revered of all. Having sold over 90 million manga volumes, they have become the sensation and inspiration of the decade.
And I am a huge CLAMP fan. Was and will forever be.
I cut short my post here. My sister wants her net time, and since I have been on the computer for around 6 hours now, I better do before she kicks me out. :P

As usual, I have nothing much to write about. In fact, most people wonder what am I doing at home, when it's Christmas? Will be going out in the evening, so no worries. ^__^
I have Bocelli crooning his heart out, and my heart sings at his voice. He blows me away. Ah.
All exams ended!! Yay!! :)
Electronics went real good. Okay, not as good as I would have wished for, but good enough. And all that I wanted to say when I looked my question paper over was, "Wish the syllabus was a bit less or the time span for this humongous thing was more and I could have studied better." Sigh.
I seem to do that a lot these days. Sigh a lot.
Ah well.
Christmas is fun. Not for many though. Some of my friends have exams begininng come tommorow. And that ends well into the second week of January..such a fantastic way to spend the new year. :P
But still, when the results come out in Feb, and they are good, then there will really be nothing more to complain about. Everything will be worth it. All the complaining and ranting and getting irritated and losing our minds and so on...
I love music. Nothing new. But seems like I am beginning to discover new things altogether. For one, the fact that the beuty music holds is completed when you can play music yourself, no matter what instrument it may be, even your voice. And the amazing power it holds over the listener.
A note melancholy is as beautiful as a happy one. The most effective of all instruments is the voice I believe. A perfect combination of string and woodwind instruments.
And he mesmerises me all the more...

Lost count to be honest. I have no idea what is bloody wrong with LJ, the posts always come jumbled up. And my patience is wearing thin.
But since I love the site, I am willing to try. Again. :D :P
I opened up another journal. In blogspot. Though I don't quite have an affinity towards that site, since this one seems a lot more livelier and fun. But it's cranking me up!
Lemme stop ranting about that. Well then. Had an exam yesterday. Yes, yesterday. On a Sunday. Maths, that too. Since the Metro starts from 3 pm, hence I had to board the damn bus for an hour and a half long journey. One hour of which was spent standing with a heavy sack on my nonexistent shoulder. And the rest half sitting and trying to get some sense and feeling back to my tired legs.
But! The highlight?? The exam went well!!! Yippeee!! Learnt something today.
Brittany Murphy died yesterday. Shock to the system. Apparently a cardiac arrest. Why her? She was fantastic. Will miss her dearly. :-'(
Will browse a bit in the LCDO archive and then study. Mechanical Science tommorow. Man, I hate exams. T__T
Bear with me. Thank you.
On 22nd, Mechanical Science. Almost ready. Finishing touches due a couple of hours later. On 24th, Basic Electronics Engineering. Hardest of the lot, lemme be honest. But prepared. One day gap between each exam. Am tired of complaining. Sigh.
My cousin sister got married yesterday. And I missed it. Why? Exam from Monday, that's why. Feeling so crappy. My dad and sis went though, and they will return tommorow morning.
I told my sister a couple of months back, " Don't you ever get married in December."
Sis: " Why in the world not? I will get married in December only."
Me: " I have got bloody exams in December, for the next four damn years, that's why!"
Sis: *huffs* " That's your problem."
Love the conversations, truly. @.@
This Wednesday, when I was buying my ticket for boarding the Metro, I bumped into my friend from JDC, Aparajita. We were shocked to see each other there, especially since her college is three stoppages off Tollygunj, where I board the train normally. Nonetheless, we chatted and laughed the entire way till her stoppage, which is before mine. Ah, the happiness. Felt so nice seeing her after a long time, July being the last time I saw her.
Since I had practical exams the entire week, I didn't get to practice much. Last night, at around 11: 45 pm, I took out the violin and practiced the lesson due tommorow. Surprisingly, I played quite smoothly, as compared to normally, when the music comes out smooth after a while. I didn't practice for longer than half an hour, since I didn't want my neighbours to complain. Not that they have any reason to, since the twins next door strum the guitar till late in the night. But still, 12:15 am, and you better stop. Plus mom was falling asleep on the sofa, so thought better of it. :D
I am a grandmother, by the way. My cat Alkane gave birth to three cuties, whom my dad named Alpha, Beta and Gamma. Ah, the house of Science students. :D We are yet to see them fully, because the eyes haven't blossomed yet. A month later, they would grow to be what we will call kittens. Waiting for it. Trisha congratulated me on the second generation of kittens and I told her that she is also a grandma. :P
I tease my mom that she's a great-grandma, 'matamohi' in Bangla. And she says that if she has to cook for 5 cats ( Alkane, her 3 children, and her brother, Alkene), us on top of that, she will resign. Hehe. So would I. XD
And I am prolly going to be buried in books all day tommorow, so
Till next time, dunno when. But there is always a next time. Especially since it's LJ.^__^

Should I be the one to break it to you?
That you are not the person I am looking for?
That you are not the reason I smile when I see you,
Though I do smile when I hear your voice..
You make me happy, undoubtedly.
No, you used to….now it seems so dull.
Even though you are there, I don’t feel complete.
Should I be ready to tell you?
Yet, when you are not there, I miss you.
When you are, I want to run away.
But when you are gone again, I feel like I want to see you again.
Screams from a confused heart. Cross it, I don’t know what is true…
Closed are my eyes, don’t know what to do…
I can’t be with you…
You clip my wings so…and I wish you weren’t the one I chose…
Goodbye seems near…but…
Should I be ready to tell you, and break your heart to pieces?
Should I tell you, and break mine too??
Buon pomerragio a voi...

Studies drive me up the wall these days, I feel so pressurised. Though it would be a lie to say that I don't enjoy studying. I love books, and my Electronics book in particular. even though it is the toghest of the lot. No wait, the toughest would be Graphics. Ah, such crap---keep on drawing for hours and hours.
Bocelli keeps me sane. The man is such a wonderful tenor. Ah, makes me wanna listen to him always. :)
I sometimes muse over what I think I don't have time to do: now, even more so, a big NO. Work on a new fic is top of my list. It has been months since I wrote a story. Ah, I am so addicted to writing fanfics. I got so crazy over the site by BFF loved it too, though she is a Dark Knight fan and so not into manga and anime. She does respect my choices, not like my cousins, who say I like comics. And I love her for that.
The violin is such a divine instrument. Even when my shoulder pains, I don't wish to stop. It feels so exhilarating and wonderful. I wish to play as wonderfully as the many talented violinists and musicians of the world. I hope so dearly. And my work shall be directed at that.
Now that I am re-writing my entry, I feel this is a better entry than the last one that I had been tring to post for fifteen minutes. :)
I do envy
Some of the fics I like best on ff.net have not been updated for so long. For example,
I have been watching the reruns of LCDO PP on Animax and drooling over Tsukimori Len and Tsuchiura Ryotarou. Why aren't men that sexy in real life? *sigh*
Yes, I love this man too. Such a wonderful guy. If Kaho doesn't end up with Len, she should end up with him. Period. :P
Oh lord, take away the exams now, or kill me now.

Had my second internal exams a couple of weeks back, and they went very well, happy to say. I have my semester exams coming up, come December 8th. Till 31st December. The compensation being that we get a month long holiday after that. Yay!! Compensates, definitely. *grinning widely*
I have been too off songs a long time, more into pieces. Went to college yesterday, to get my Electronics and Physics lab manuals checked by the teachers. One of my friends, Antara, started playing the song SukhranAllah on her phone. First song I heard from the Kurbaan soundtrack. Fantastic music, must say.
I am usually so crazy about violin music and classical music in general, my sister has become a fan too, after finally checking out 1 out of the 6 videos I uploaded in Orkut of Bond's performance at Royal Albert Hall, a live performance to promote their first album Born, this being years ago. She loved the piece 'Kismet', composition by the band's cellist Gay Yee Westerhoff, a lot more than the others. I love Wintersun a bit more.
There is no limit to the type of music one can listen to. Be it classical, or even the contemporary pop, though pop does seem a tad bit shallow to me sometimes. It doesn't have the depth of classical or rock in it. This comment is not meant to offend, and if you are offended, I can't help it. *evil grin/wink* Sometimes, being exposed to all genres helps develop a person emotionally and characteristcally, while improving their tastes.
While I listen to classical music, western and Rabindrasangeet, I love rock especially Nirvana's Come As You Are, though I am not a big fan of Nirvana since Kurt Cobain tends to be really depressing at times. And Hindi songs, compositions of Jatin-Lalit and AR Rahman, amongst contemporaries, are my favourite. Amongst oldies, RD Burman and Mohammad Rafi.
Speaking of music, I cam across an article on the Daily Telegraph website, quite an old one though, calling Bond a wannabe pseudo classical group, and that them being chucked off the UK Classical chart is just as logical. Here's a quote: "The only thing you need to be a part of Bond is a stick thin figure and the ability to show off in kitten heels." Crap. All crap. Okay, maybe they are a pop phenomenon more than classical and their music doesn't conform to classical music, I agree. But it makes them no less musicians than classical artistes. Just because they want to put a pop twist to classical music, doesn't reduce the value or quality of classical. Four fabulously talented and beautiful musicians. Heck if someone doesn't like 'em. Don't listen to them then. Period.

This is it till now. I leave you with a poster of Kurbaan, and it may be a while till I am able to post again, because my exams are breathing down my neck. Oh, how I miss
Have a great week people!
Best wishes and my unending love for you all.

My violin classes are proceeding well, and they highlight my week. Although I am yet to master and perfect the task my teacher has given me, I am game for anything musical. Bring it on!
My internal exams ended yesterday, went terrible to say the least. I cannot frickin' believe that my reputation and my image in front of my teacher stands to be tarnished by such idiotic mistakes. Messed up the formulas for maximum height, rnage and time of flight in Projectiles. How worse can it be?
But am damn glad they are so over. I have so much work built up in backlog--no, not so much in studies, but in my duties as a beta reader and for leaving my fanfic hanging in the middle. Okay, not really hanging as much, coz I have finished it and I promised an epilogue. I began writing it a month back and wrote it for one day only. I opened my folder today and went through it..hmm..the result isn't too bad..it encouraged me to finish off the job. Which I will be doing after I finish writing my journal.
And Nicole! I am almost done with your story. Will be sending it to you in a couple of hours. Promise. Cross my heart if not.
Durga Pujas are finally here!!! One more week to go..yippee!! :D
The guy I was talking about the other day? We broke up, no lemme correct that, I broke up. After all, compromising isn't something I am up for, especially when I am as old as I am. T_T
And there is someone new in my life. Though I try to be a bit careful with my fragile heart, it's a tad bit difficult to control emotions. All I can hope for is for it to last a really long time. Only the future can tell what it holds.
I know my journal entry was sorta drab today, then again, I will convey my emotions and feelings the way I like it. Beat that.

Pailan College looks damn nice. The B.Tech building is still under construction, and it will take a while, since there are heavy showers here these days. But it is quite nice.
Everyone has uniforms. I mean everyone. Even the teachers. At first, I didn't notice the fact. But then I was left thinking why all the male teachers wore the same coloured shirt. Then I noticed that the sarees of all teachers are also same. That confirmed my beliefs that we are as uniformed as in a military school.
Amongst the teachers that I have met, I like my English Language and Communications professor a lot. His classes are always wonderful, fun-filled, and no matter what your day has been like, you will always end up with a smile on your face.
We have Workshop classes where we are introduced to the different tools that are required in Mechanical Science. After a while, we will be allowed to do welding and all, under supervision of course. The very prospect of it makes me boundlessly happy, and I am left wondering why in the world my fellow female classmates did not share my enthusiasm when it came to wrokshop. Our Workshop Instructor teaches fabulously well and I do not see a reason why they should not like it so. The guys seemed to be liking it, from what I could gather.
The seniors are doing what they do best: ragging us. They are not so successful in their attempts because teachers are strict, but still they are adding 'rules' and trying to make us miserable. Of course, they don't know we won't take things as they come. ^_"
The distance is a lot...and I mean a whole lot. It takes me two hours to get there and two and a half to return home. After that, I have to study regularly. By this I will surely gain one thing: patience and apt utilization of available time.
We are having an off-day tommorow, which is quite a wonderful thing because then we three days holiday. What a relief.
Inspite of college being good, teachers as well, and nice classmates, it does not fill the gap of parting with my school friends. It was something else we shared together, something that cannot be replaced. Ever. And no matter what people say, school will always remain the best time of my life. My fellow Bhavanites, I miss you all so! (.--__--.)
It's 10:33 pm here. And I am going to catch a good sleep tonight.

The best thing of the whole mess is that the movie was mind-blowingly wonderful. I did not like Night At The Museum 1 much, so was not in high opinion of this. But I was sorely mistaken, and I am glad for that.
After the movie, we dropped in at New Market, beside the theatre, and bought a pair of jeans, kurtas and heeled pumps--for college, which begins on Monday. We have uniforms at college, but they will be tailored so the measurements will be taken once college begins. They will probably find their way to us about a month after class starts, so until then we are asked to wear formals and all.
After the shopping, we dropped in at a nearby ice cream parlour and had sundaes. As a result of which, I got a sore throat today. Sucks, man. (.-_-.)
As is the case with shoes always, when I came home and put them on again, walked around, they flapped behind me like slippers. Sis was irritated to say the least, coz we have to go back to the shop to return it, and it is a long distance from home. Moreover, it was her off day, and if it were me, I would like to stay home one day out of the two given. But anyways, we went to the shop and changed them to a smaller size. Then we looked around for a while at the nearby Treasure Island. Sis bought two really beautiful salwars, and a couple more kurtas for me.
One thing I missed, I went for HP 6 on Monday afternoon, and happy to say I was not so dissapointed as last time. I liked HP 5, but felt a nagging hole in the screenplay. This time, though there were a couple of loopholes, it is really good, and this is probably one of the best movies of the franchise.
Can't wait for New Moon in November. Oh, Jacob! *dreamy-eyed*
If it comes here, that is. Twilight skipped this frickin' large country last time. It was after two days of downloading and the consequent haggard condition of my computer that we got to see the movie. And it was worth it. ^_^

Moving on, here is a little story that I cooked up yesterday. It's an Escaflowne fanfic. Happy Reading! (.n_n.)
Believing in you
.

.
.
You say that you will wait for her forever, but will you? You throw away those disturbing thoughts that come to taunt you once loneliness sets in, say that she means more than life to you, and that no one else will take her place.
But you and her, worlds separate you, literally and figuratively. And promises sometimes seem bleak.
But a promise is a promise, bound by faith and determination.
Van looked up at the sky, the Mystic Moon shining brightly, reminding him of the love that she feels for him, what he feels for her.
Ten years has it been? Since the fateful day that he landed on the Mystic Moon, while chasing a dragon, hunting for the proof that would let him have a burden he did not wish to take upon. Shirking of the responsibility would crush the hopes and dreams that his people held, hence he needed to tread the path that the Gods had set for him, the path that his father walked on, the path his brother almost walked; be a king to his country, to his people, all for a better future.
But his beliefs and faith had been tested when the Zaibach empire's guy maleffs attacked his country, reducing it to ashes, on the very day that he took upon the responibility of a king, with her by his side. Not only had his faith been tested, but also his composure and strngth of mind, as his mentor and fellow soldiers gave up their lives so that he could leave them and flee the burned place. All because he is the future of his country, there would be no future without him.
They refused to let him die, dying for him instead.
She had been one of the primary supports of his life at such a time when he had needed a companion and a friend. She had taught him to be strong, stronger than he had already been, to believe in himself and to hold true to the ones he loved.
Hitomi had been one of a kind, someone he felt blessed to have.
When they had parted, he was hopeful that they would meet again. As it happened so, he could hear her thoughts and could be by her when she needed him to be there for her. But he did miss seeing her everyday, for the mere presence could make one feel so fulfilled and content.
If moving on meant that he was to choose someone else to share his life with, so that his future would be a bright one, a hopeful one, he chose to stand still and be frozen in time. To hell with the future. Sure he had been young when he had chosen her as the one for him, but he hadn't been childish nor had he been frivolous. He was meant for her as much as she meant for him.
And sometimes holding your ground can work in amazing ways. So he discovered when he refused to take someone else other than Hitomi to be his life partner, companion and co-ruler.
Van let out a chuckle. "Companion, huh? No one, other than you my love."
"Same goes for me, I think," came a voice behind him. He was about to turn around when he felt arms going around his waist. He relaxed in her embrace as he felt her nuzzle into his back. He let out a sigh of relief.
The Gods couldn't separate them. There she was, with him. The distance didn't matter after all. Hitomi was meant to be with him, and so she is.
All they did was believe in each other.

I am feeling a lot of emotions at the same time right now: relief, happy, a tiny little bit upset.

The above pic sorta describes my hoopla mood right now. The main reason for my happiness: I got Information Technology at Pailan College of Management and Technology. Okay, I wanted CSE but hey, I was surprised to even get this, because with my-let's say- a whole lotta less than impressive ranking in the entrance exam, I was dipping into depression, if my earlier blog a couple of weeks back was any evidence of it. True, just travelling to college and back would probably suck the life outta me, but I would say it's worth it, because it's a renowed and damn good college. Good placements, even in the time of this recession.
I sent Trisha a message saying so after I was refreshed and well fed, and she called me up congratulating me. The best thing was that she was bursting with excitement and did not care that she was in university at the time, probably with a whole lotta people around. That made me really happy.
Future prospects in IT? Seems kinda bleak as of now due to the recession, but wouldn't be so in the future so am geared up for it. Here is a quote that motivates me:
Thomas Fuller
Some people have been thought brave because they were afraid to run away.
The upsetting part comes from not being able to avail of the core science subjects, like electrical engineering, due to the always problem creating rank. The ones that were available were in brand new colleges in places that would kill me to go and obviously, my dad would not allow me to go there. Also my dad is not very excited with me studying IT, he and I both wanted the core engineering options, but he is alright with it.
A big shout out to
To Amit, who has been with me in the deepest depths of sadness. He's leaving for college in Jalpaiguri soon. Will miss you so! :(
To Trisha, with whom I keep on having arguments and keep on patching up; bound like a patchwork quilt, it seems these days, but still bound, as we have been for the last 8 years.
And lastly, in no way the least, to Aparajita and Ananya, my friends in JDC, who, though are a tiny bit upset with me not studying Geology Hons anymore, but wish me luck for the future all the same. Though we may not study the same subject anymore, I will never forget the time I was there, for I truly enjoyed the classes there and more so, the time I shared with you both. I will never forget you, you remain in my thoughts always.
Ah, the joy of having the weight lifted off my shoulders! (.n_n.)
Till next time.
Di ciao tutto.
