CVMUN 2012

On 21st and 22nd July, 2012, my friends and I attended the first ever MUN (held by Chettinad Vidyashram - CVMUN) representing our school. We didn't have any experience, so it was our first time as "MUNners"(First batch to go for the MUN too! B) ). It was epic! I was the Delegate of Indonesia for General Assembly. And I wanted to brief what happened on Day 1 and Day 2.

Day one
Day one's agenda was quite boring. Except for the Sri Lankan delegate (Rohit). He was the star of the whole committee. He brought life into the boring foyer. He was the bright light emanating from the black hole (if that is even possible). Unlike the delegates from China and France, who kept pin-pointing inaccurate facts, his questions were immaculately epic and although some were immature, they were very funny. Even the executive board could not refrain from laughing at times. He posed questions which had nothing to do with out agenda - over-population. Like what has the Russian government done for the over-exploitation of children by the Russian mafias? What has the Ethiopian government done for the drugs on 'small people' (he meant children). And when he was chosen to speak about overpopulation issues in Sri Lanka, he started of with the line "Population is the most important lesson in Population Geography." (It might not sound epic, but it was when we heard it). This raised a roar of laughter, even from the EB. His speech was mainly stressed on the rape and prostitution in Sri Lanka. He kept shouting unasked for remarks (unwanted but epic). And once, the chair criticized the Russian delegate that Russia was overpopulated, but the delegate denied stating that Russia was "underpopulated". This also caused a loud laughter. And from that moment on, Rohit kept mocking and calling Russia as "underpopulated". Then the Delegate of France got very frustrated. He put forward a motion to suspend Rohit. This motion was passed and Rohit was suspended for a mere two minutes.

Day two.
This day was also epic. I was the first to speak about the agenda - political instability. Lucky for me, neither did the delegate of France nor China pose me a question. As per the agendas, that day was pretty boring. The only "lively taken" agenda was the 'legalization of polygamy and polyandry all over the world. Can you guess who was the first to speak? If the Srilankan delegate was the first to come into your mind, please award yourself a cookie. His speech couldn't be continuous because of the roaring laughter. I guess his speech went something like this

"Sri Lanka is an underpopulated country, and the delegate of Sri Lanka would like to legalize polygamy and polyandry because we want to grow in population. Even though our country's community would not accept this, The delegate of Srilanka would like to put forward this idea"

I'm pretty sure that that wasn't his exact speech, but it went something like that.
Anyway, this thing is getting boring to write, so I guess I would like to conclude this thing as one of the Best First things I have and will ever attend,.

Race against Time.

So, why does time fly when your having fun? And it seems as if time flies by faster as you get older, but why? When you are younger, you have new experiences. You see your parents for the first time. You learn your first language. Every single thing around you is new information. When your brain puts these new details together, they seem slower when you look back on them. When you age, your understanding of the world is more vast. But since you are surrounded by the usual family, friends and schools, details aren't taken in so intricately. These make days seem like fleeting moments! (Found this on the web)

So while growing up, try to accomplish challenges you believed you can't do - do something new everyday. Cause when you're an old man filed with regret, sitting in a wheelchair, all you can do is flood your mind with old memories. At-least try to make those memories fun to remember!

Have you ever had a friend?

Have you ever had a friend
That will make your life soo bright
He will stay until the end
And be your brightest light.

He pulls you when your down,
And never leaves your side
He makes smiles from every frown,
And helps you in every fight.

He is always there
Even in the darkest hours
He follows you everywhere
Even the tallest of towers.

Have you ever had a friend
Who will be by your side
A friend who will stay till the very end
Even if you have ever lied.

My first poem! It wouldn't be that awesome since its my first! :P

Young age memories.

When I was young, I was innocent, very innocent.
I was in Year 4 (9 years old) and we had after school activities. I opted for illusions. Our teacher, Mr. Smith, was showing us some optical illusions(sentences). And there was this thing which was pretty hard to read. But I could decipher it.
It said "lift". It looked similar to one which I've seen before. So I wanted to tell the teacher. He asked me if it was relevant or not. I thought it was and told it to him. The sentence was "No sex causes bad eyes."
I didn't know ANY cuss words then. So I thought 'Sex' meant gender.
Once I told him, he made me get out of the class.
Now I understand what I really said.

The friend who just 'stands by'

This poem came for my English comprehension. If you're in 9th and you got Code - A (or read it from a friend's), you might remember this. This poem just blew me away.

When trouble comes your soul to try,

You love the friend who just "stands by."

Perhaps there's nothing he can do --

The thing is strictly up to you;

For there are troubles all your own,

And paths the soul must tread alone;

Times when love cannot smooth the road

Nor friendship lift the heavy load,

But just to know you have a friend

who will "stand by" until the end,

whose sympathy through all endures,

Whose warm handclasp is always yours--

It helps, someway to pull you through,

Although there's nothing he can do.

and so with fervent heart you cry,

"God bless the friend who just 'stands by'!"

Exams.

Exams. The world itself might bring some sadness (or happiness) upon you. A simple word can either make you stressed or angry (or happy if you're different). When some person comes to you and tells you a week before the exam, "We have exams starting next week!" you don't feel the pressure. You only feel it once it is a few hours away and your blank. And you get even stressed when your friend has finished more than you.

And nowadays I witness girls cry for stupid exams like their life depends entirely on it (I'm not criticizing you but it's what I think). I find it absolutely foolish. I mean, you must do well. And if you didn't do well your the one to blame. And like Ross (from Friends) said in one if the episode, "Don't blame the questions."


And in 10 years time, when you will be making out with your dream person (forever alones aside), this wouldn't matter, would it?

The lost can sometimes be found.

Don't you find it awkward that when your searching for a particular thing it is nowhere to be found but when you aren't, you see it all the time?
Like when you have to go for school and before your school bus arrives you search your whole house for your identity card. But you are sure that you kept it above the table the previous day. Or when you have to jot down a number or a reminder and you're frantically searching for a pen, and when you find one it doesn't have ink.
These things happen in each and every house. You keep one thing in a place and it gets shuffled to some other place by your cleanliness-addict mom/dad or your housemaid (or sibling). And whenever you inquire them, the frequent reply you get is either, "I DON'T KNOW," or "you keep your things in a safe place next time."
And one of the things which is most misplaced in the house is the CELLPHONE. But thanks to the landline, we can ring it up and find the phone. I once found mine in the obscure region of the toilet. Thank goodnesss that it wasn't in silent mode!
Keys. Car keys, house keys, cycle keys. They just disappear when you need them. Suddenly you have to go  buy something(which you remember in the last minute), and your searching here and there for the keys(if your not going by walk) and when you find it, you promise yourself to hang them in their proper place henceforth but never do.
We all know that there aren't any ghosts roaming around your house trying to make you look like a complete idiot. But I mom tells me that I'm careless, lazy and a absent-minded person. And I don't think this has anything to do with my carelessness. Ohh wait... then again, she might be right.
