『皆さん、よろしくお願いいたします!』

子供の頃にはアニメを見て、日本に興味を持ちました。それから何年後、ただ日本語の美しさと日本の文化の事気に入りました。こういう風にいた私は『日本語勉強するお前はブスだ』と何度もいじめられたんです。家族、友人、同級生、先生たち、途中に会う方皆さんもそう言われました。母親だけは私が瀬を押したんです。母親に感謝です。

日本語が本当に大好きでしたので、いじめられる人の話はあまり聞きませんでした。そんな話はもちろん心に怪我させましたが、私は気にせず、『日本語をもっと勉強して上手になりたい』と言う夢を目指していた。今もそうです。

日本語を自分で勉強していたけど、クラスにいい先生から教えてもらいたらいいなと思っていた。日本語クラスの代金は高かったので両親はダメと言われました。実を言うと、日本語を習うことで何の便利なこともありませんと信じて、私の日本語能力に全然信じられなかった。

2011年12月に二週間の間日本に留学するチャンスができた後、両親は私と『日本語』にちょっと信じるのが始めました。そして、バンガル一ルの日本語学校に『日本語能力試験』の『四級』と『三級』クラスに入学して、試験も合格しました。ここまで来たのは私が自分自身を持って努力したお陰でです。そして、私に信じてくれた両親のお陰です。その日本語学校の先生もすばらしい方だったし、学生達をいつも支えてくれました。ラタ先生に感謝です。

今残ってるのは『二級』と『一級』レベル試験です。今年の12月に『二級』試験を受けたいんです。

今日からバンガル一ル大学に『アドバンス日本語ヂプロマ』コ一スを始めました。教授は有賀かおり先生です。とても優しい人に見えます。話し方も優しいです。来週の土曜日から授業は始まる予定です。有賀先生はたくさんの宿題を出さないといいな。。。(笑)

同級生は皆私の目上の方です(年を見れば)。皆さんは日本語に上手見たい。私頑張らなきゃ!

Christ大学でコンピュ一タアプリケ一ションを専門してながら、Bangalore大学でこのヂプロマをします。勉強にいいバランスを作って欲しいです。

そろそろ勉強時間!Christ大学で明日から一週間まで試験です。
とりあえず止めましょう。(^0^)

Darling, why?

You don't have to pull a Chad Kroeger (April didn't know him less than five minutes ago) to gift her a sparkling seventeen carat diamond ring for your anniversary together, you don't have to make promises obscured with falsity in honeyed tones to make her smile, you have to do no Herculean task to make her happy when you know she desires for none of those.

Would it be too much of you to say those two, non-committal (of ANY sort) words to her to her on her special day? Would it be wrong to make her feel happy with almost nothing as such?

When something of mere utterance from you matters the world to her, why deny her that with a bag of excuses in tow? Darling, why?

Falsity is mentioned not for the word play; learn to put a stop to the action of giving her peaking hopes, and later having her crash face-first when you would rather have wanted things another way--hurt her not with your half-hearted, flimsy choices.

If rather silly excuses follow every thing you do to hurt her, where would a slight sense of any sort of devoted commitment exist?

Why won't you let her be free if you resent her that much, darling, why?

Ignorance is bliss, not on your birthday.

Melancholic poetry and sad tears that dry a little later are what awaits you when a beloved just about forgets to wish you on your birthday, ever so conveniently. 

Disappointment goes over the peak when you're still sitting brooding in front of your laptop screen, just wanting to while away time when many things productive await your hand. Drown yourself in light despair after all that your heart has lamented. 

Them droopy eyes of yours need a break from all of today's 'fun'. Rest, sweetheart, you must be brave as you think you are, as you want yourself to be. 

Rant, rant. Aren't we all that silly to occasionally form some...coherent gibber?

Teenage Motherhood (?)

Of the many things happening in April's life, there are those which are pivotal, that drive her passion to the brink everyday. It would be right to say that the primal one among those would be April's two adopted rabbits, co-parented (co-owned, if you will) by her boyfriend.

Regional anime clubs in India

All this is thanks to the efforts of India Anime Club (check them on Facebook) for having compiled this list and putting it into a doc. As it was quite unable to use the Facebook link for this document onto Listly, I thought it more ideal to put it into this blog entry and link it up on Listly for everyone's convenience. 

Again, all credits to IAC: India Anime Club, NOT me!

Mid-day musings

April, though, half-interested in the day's Software Engineering class at university had things aplenty to brew about in her mind: she was hungry, but with an hour or more to go for the lunch bell, she simply had to pen this down to keep her mind diverted--from both the drone of the Professor's Power Point lecture, and also the strong pulls of her hunger pang.

-----

Yellow satin, and
Hues of white.
Won't do to touch it--
For the teacher is in sight.

Nib or nap
Is a choice so tough.
Though he is all yap,
I dream of the veg-puff.

Yes, I am hungry now.
So my mind won't stay low.
I need my chow and
That, you ought to know.

Hunger and poetry
Must be given a try;
Odd things and even ones
Sometimes make a good fry.

-----

Notes: 
1. The yellow and white hued 'satin' was April's veil, which is part of her university's prescribed dress-code that is most annoying. No, April doesn't know what material the veil is made of; the word used here is purely for achieving poetical rhythm.

2. Now that she thinks of what food she actually wanted to sink her teeth into when composing this, April recalls that it was not a veg-puff, but was a samosa.

Midnight musings. Almost.

She writes her way into the night, void of music, save for the continual tapping sound of her fingertips against the keys on her computer. The tap is so soothing when the setting is right, and statistically sad when she has a sane source not, to turn toward for inspiration.
