Terrorism At It's Supreme Level


“Pakistan mourns after Taliban Peshawar School massacre.” Headlines read this way in the morning. After the Sydney seize, now it was Pakistan’s turn to experience the real face of terrorism. The only thing that crossed my mind when heard of Peshawar school attack, was like Pakistan had a bite of their own medicine.



Terrorism and Pakistan are so interconnected according to the sources. The National and International media talks about Pakistan’s govt. providing the enough of encouragement to the terrorist groups for various reasons and one doesn’t really have any idea of why the govt. does that except for their selfish needs.

But one thing to remember, not just after this incident, but having heard of serial bomb blasts in and outside Pakistan, I would like to really tell some people that Pakistan and terrorism is not just the same. Not every Pakistani is a terrorist and not every terrorist is a Pakistani. It’s important that people need to have an eye on the facts and don’t really come to a conclusion that Pakistan is a terrorist nation.

Like in India, there must have been some really wonderful people and we may not know anything about them.

Just to add enough of evidence to my point there, take the Peshawar attack. Such a heinous one from the Taliban camp. And the most horrendous thing about terrorism is that, they claim to have committed such an inhumane thing so proudly. What from the news I have read is that, Taliban’s have admitted that it was now all justified.

148 have been killed in the incident in which most of them are students. It was like the future of Pakistan has taken a nasty beat. It was almost like more than 200 families got affected with this attack.  

Support has come to Pakistan from all corners of the world. And I call it as the real face of humanity showing towards a country that doesn’t know the real meaning of humanity and governance.

It was now clear and open to everyone that Pakistan govt. has failed to provide any kind of security for the people living in there. Instead, some camps or groups are encouraging hatred and spreading it across which is not really a good sign.

The only thing that comes to my mind when I think of Terrorism for most of the time is ‘Why can’t govt. consider Terrorism as their First Priority” and work towards providing safety first to their own citizens. Providing job opportunities is something that comes only after security. To be more precise, one must be alive at least to go to work. So, it would be better if govt.’s think of providing safety first to the citizens and everything next.

My thoughts and prayers are with the families of the affected. It’s really hard to digest the fact about their kids not making to home after the school yesterday. I think people of Pakistan will at least now think of what’s happening in their country right now. It’s people who elect their leaders everywhere. So, it’s time to recheck what they really need in the long run.

India is no new to terrorism. Mumbai Terrorist attack is something that will not be forgotten so easily. It’s people who are going to take the final call.
Who knows? You may be the next victim of terrorism. So, before it gets any serious, act now.

Happy Birthday To Me !

I was in sleep and it was 12 AM sharp. Exactly the way I wanted my birthday to be. But what followed next really kept the day on top gear. And I was just clueless about the day coming to an end. 

To be precise, I really had a good day. The excitement of birthdays have gone long back. I guess it is all part of getting old according to me.

I really have to mention Ananth & Ashwin right here! They both deserve the top acknowledgement this time. A kick at 12 AM sharp and pulling me out of the room is something that I had never expected. Repeated kicks at different parts got me back into reality from the dizziness.

And there it is. Some really awesome black forest cake with candles that has got the required light into the dark room. But the kicks never stopped. I was beaten like never before. For a moment, I thought, why me?



The next 25 minutes was a mess. The cream of the cake turned out to be a facial to me for the very first time.



The feeling was different. I didn't get it proper. 



One word I told them is to not waste the cake and cream, let’s eat it all together. It was that good. Why waste it when it was awesome? But they have no other thoughts in mind. Just one thought. Treat me like the way they actually wanted and they have succeeded in doing so.



We then followed with some clicks before I started to clear up the place with Lizol liquid and a stick that has a cloth at the other end. (I don’t actually know how one will call it the cleaning stick) it took me another 15 minutes to clean up the place and I have attended some 4 calls in between. It was surprising to see people WhatsApping the birthday wishes. No one really cared to give me a call except a few ones. Technology has improved.



Back on bed. I tried to respond to people who wished me on WhatsApp before I got up late in the morning. I kept getting few calls from close quarters and I kept answering the same.

When I was about to leave for office, I got this inevitable call and that made my day. It felt good after some really troublesome months. With the heaviness of the writing thing that I have been into for quite some time really got off with that one call. A good 13 minutes of the day before it ended. But this time, talks have become shorter and thinner.

Back in office, had the same regular writing work that I do with the same interest and have ordered a combo of Pizza for colleagues at work before I left the office way too early.

Dinner with a good friend of mine from college at his place in Ambattur. The same restaurant, the same food and fortunately the same bill amount. And the same taste as well. Nothing really changed much over years.

Spoke about a few recent happenings and came back home after a walk followed by a gate jump.

Thanked everyone who wished me on Facebook and have settled down to make up this post.

Highlights

The surprise post from dear friend of mine. Priyanka with some really touching post. Never expected this from her. She made my day.

You can actually read the post written by her : Happy birthday Buddy

The cake cutting and cleaning sessions directed by Ananth & his partner in crime.
Will be never forgetting this one for life time.

A call from a very very good friend of mine that I have already mentioned above.
The fantastic video by Sachin Prabhu.

Wishes from another dear friend of mine Gayatri Aptekar who kept supporting me during the writing phase of my life. She is such an inspiration.

And a call in the evening was a special one. Coming all the way from Bhopal is a special one for sure. 

And that’s how my day has been. If you are reading this one, I would also like to thank you for your time in reading this routine piece of mine. All I will be expecting from you is to comment your views in the section below. That's the best gift you will ever give to me. You never know how much a comment means to bloggers and writers. So, if you care, please do comment.

Life Gets Less Easier and More Complicated !


Into November already and have just managed to come up 7 times which means less than once a month. Isn't this a bad way to maintain a blog? I am wondering what I have done all these months without updating my blog on a consistent basis. 

It's not like there is nothing that I can come up with. But more importantly, I have forgotten this space for a long time. And it hurts now. 

Brushing all of them to a side. Life has now become less easier and more complicated. So, finally there happened to be some regrets for me in my life which I thought are more likely not to arrive at this point of time. And that's how I sum life has become more complicated. 

Being a content writer is no cakewalk. Critics are from all corners. One has to take that ! 

Apart from professional life, there is this tremendous change that took place. After an year of constant struggle, I have finally moved into a new 2BHK. Much spacious this time. Thankfully, a fully furnished one. 

Well, not really boasting about my new living style but you know, I felt like putting this one up right on my blog. It feels good when I look after the same post some 5 years down the line. ;) 

This is the only time to make the most of anything. If a wise man was in place, he would have thought of making something really big. But being not so wise enough, I thought or actually we thought, we should be very serious about giving a hand at cooking. And thus, we ended up being some kind of mediocre cookers ! 

Cookers? Did I sound it right? ;) 


Call it Aloo & Onion Curry !

First try. Look is more better than it's actual taste ! Thought we should focus much on the ingredients things. 

And very recently, we came up with this one new recipe. Had potato and brinjal in unequal proportions so we thought of giving this one a try. And the outcome is just yum. 



Potato & Brinjal Pastry ;)

It almost looked like a paste and thus I called it pastry. This may not give you a better feel than the previous one. But, it felt lot better in terms of taste ! 

You may be thinking that these guys are more obsessed with Aloo and Brinjal ! But let me tell you, I didn't have enough of pictures with me to share with you ! I have got only these as of now. You may get to see a lot more in future. 

Apart from Potato, I give a try this way for lunch ! 


Call this one Onion Rice !

This goes for lunch ! 


Capsicum Rice

This comes right from the cooker. Some yummy capsicum rice for lunch. Foods like these excite me so much so that I wait for lunch in office everyday. 

Other than these, we tried a lot. But most of them with potato included. But to break the barriers, I may go on a potato ban for a week and try as many as I could without potato and make myself realize that I can survive in this world without a 'Potato' ;) Only for a weekdays though. 

And once after cooking, I am trying to read and experiment. There are quite a few ideas in stock and I will have to take a thorough look at it for one final time and have to find ways to implement. 

After all, this is the only stage where one gets to experiment and try achieve something really BIG in life. 

PS: Fortunately or unfortunately, if you happened to read this post, please spare some precious amount of your time in leaving a comment in the space provided below. Your Facebook likes make not much of a sense to me. But a comment here will do. Likes vanish but comments here won't. So, it's my humble way of asking you to comment. Let the comment be a single 'Good' or 'Bad'. I take that. All it matters is the opinion to me ! 

See you in the next post ! 

Till then, 

Jay.

Bangalore Literature Fest 2014


I have this habit of checking the total number of pageviews I have got for my blog at least once in a while even though I haven't written much in the recent times. Maybe, it's the time thing that kept me away from blogging. But I have always made an excuse to myself for not being consistent at blogging. I never thought I would become so lazy even with the works that I love to do all the time. I felt ashamed. Seriously ashamed. Well, it's not that I don't feel ashamed. I feel ashamed at least once in a week or may be twice in a week. Who knows. So, after getting over it, I also had a word about consistency with my blogger friend 'Gayatri Aptekar' at an event in Bangalore. Its a different story and you will get to know all about in detail while you come along with me in this post. 

Life has been good. The most happiest feeling is that I have nothing much to regret in the last 4 months or so. Which means I have started living life to the fullest. As far as my life is concerned, there aren't any limitations as of now. Even though I do think about a few responsibilities, I have reached to a stage where I can face it all with courage. Everytime I make sure, I get prepared for the worse. I have developed this habit of setting up Plan A and Plan B for everything in my life. Just in case if Plan A goes down. I have this plan B with me which will be working fine against all odds. And once again life has been good. 

When life is all going good, Interestingly, I have raised this doubt among my friends about my current location. There are at times where my friends have failed to book a movie ticket for me considering that I am still in Bangalore and haven't reached Chennai yet. So, instead of people asking me 'How are you?' They started asking me 'Where are you?' 

I find it rather interesting to answer. But I do. Politely. 

It's more because of the Bangalore visits that I am doing for the last 3 months. 

So, it was the time, there is a Literature Fest happening in Bangalore and I wonder why Bangalore is good and better than Chennai. (So good and better is only limited to the climate and culture which I loved so much about Bangalore) and it was the same period of time where, I once again have to take a chance and decide whether should I be making to it or not. And it was the time 'Gayatri Aptekar' my blogger friend, forthcoming author, NLP Master, Dancer, Singer and what not? I will run short of words if I have to describe her. A super active women one can call her. 

We have made our plans and are all set to go for the Bangalore Literature Fest 2014. A place for like-minded people. My 2nd Literature Fest to be exact. Before this one I have attended Chennai Literature Fest which has nothing but surprises.  

Varun Agarawal coming up to me and asking if he can have a seat beside me?

It happened. And that's crazy ! 

 
But here, in the Bangalore Literature Fest, nothing of that sort happened thankfully. But, I am surprised by the way Preeti Shenoy recognized me. How can she? I thought to myself. One among the Forbes Most Influential People in India recognize me by my name? 

I had never anticipated for that in my dreams. 

They are nice people. I can understand. 

I have also met Satish Shenoy. The smarty hubby of Preeti Shenoy. They both look so adorable and everyone knows that. 



I wish I carried a brand new Pickle for the couple to taste once after they leave home for lunch. As far as I remember, Satish is so fond of pickles and is a full foodie. And it is obvious that I never miss out on his food updates. 

Preeti Shenoy's event ended with a huge applaud. We all just loved it. They spoke about relations and love. I so much lag at maintaining relations. And I am trying to work on it for better. And this one helped ! 

There are 3 different stages with 3 different sessions happening at a same time. One has to run here and there to catch up with their favorite author's session. Once after every session there is a book signing session where readers can interact with Authors directly. Selfies are very much allowed. There are a lot of people who might have come just for Selfies so that they can put them up on Facebook for more likes and comments. *Show-off* 

But I don't fall into this show-off category for today. Coz, I have got no selfie to upload. Except my own selfie which makes not much of a sense. 

Also also this one with a friend of mine. 


Priyanka, who always stood by me when it comes to writing. And there is this girl named 'Veena' a school friend that I failed to recognize after 15 years. But it felt good when she remembered me. 


And there is this guy's session that I loved the most. 'Sidin Vadukut' is a master of humor. Infact, very good at humor. The gestures are the best part. *Show-Off* is the best word. 


'Sidin Vadukut' - The Man in Blue !


He is not ashamed of anything. He always makes his point straight. And I just simply loved that. I so wish to follow his path for the rest. And I have decided. 

So, I had some good food in the meanwhile. There is this Fried rice which looked lot better than it's taste. I have realized not to get tempted after seeing babycorns hereafter. Who knows, they are not well cooked. 



So, final session of Day 3 I have attended is 'The Entrepreneurship in India' being in Bangalore, The Entrepreneur hub of India, I have got to know the better of ideas from the person which I admire the most. 'Mohandas Pai' (Former Director of Infosys) in the panel with some really good entrepreneurs. The event did go well and I have enjoyed until it started raining. 


The man with a thick beard - Mohandas Pai. 


You see, Bangalore rains are so good. I loved them. Again and again. 

And once after we got settled down under a huge tree, we got indulged into a really wonderful conversation. A conversation for which I have been waiting for a long time now. It is the only way for me to know people better. 45 minutes after the conversation started, I felt really impressed. 

I have met some really wonderful people. I thought to myself and started smiling for the pics wearing a genuine smile. 



Also, I can't forget to mention, there is this guy named 'Sachin Prabhu' who reads everything that I write. A future software professional and a very good artist and super good photographer. Couldn't believe that he clicks most of the master pictures using his Nokia 720. He could actually be the promoting head for Nokia's Indian division sales. Trust me. he is that good. 



It was so nice meeting Sachin in person. I observed him to be a bit uncomfortable with the whole concept of literature fest and his presence over there or may be as he said he couldn't believe his stars as he finally managed to meet his favorite Author 'Preeti Shenoy'. 

He was excited. 

And also not to forget 'Ms. Prema' college friend of 'Gayatri Aptekar'. I have found her less talkative when compared to Gayatri. She is a good listener just like me. (I am a good listener until I take control of others). 


Book signing Area !



For Foodies like me ;) You can get a glass of beer too.

Back in the hotel it was so much of fun. Had food together. Discussed few things. Gayatri passed on some humorous stuff which I so much liked. 

I wish I could find some humor in me. You see, I am always being the same old guy. Not much of fun. A boring guy is what some people say which I don't really find it wrong. To be frank, I am boring in some ways. And I admit that. 

When the clock in my room ticked 9:45PM I thought it's time for me to leave. Got my bags packed and rushed out of the room in quick time. It was time for me to bid a good-bye-for-now to Gayatri and her super cool friend 'Prema' as they accompanied me to the outside door. Gayatri has or had written something for me in a paper that sounded so nice to me. I placed it carefully in my backpack and got up to leave. Gayatri did bid a bye to me in her own style. English types or the corporate types. I thought. 

As the time in my watch showed 12:25AM (29th Septemeber) I have already reached Majestic Bus Stand from where I need to take a direct bus to Kempegowda International Airport for my early morning flight to Chennai. 

The moment I reached Airport, it is pouring down so heavily. I once again loved the Bangalore rains. For the rest of 4 hours, it's all about 'Only Time Will Tell' by Jeffery Archer with super hot lemon Tea and a mixture of slow beat and fast beat songs running continuously on my iPod Touch. And that moment, I thought it's the life. Living life to the fullest. 

Before I entered into the Airport for security check and boarding, I came back on to the road, took a deep breath and looked up into the sky that is covered with thick clouds and wishpered.



Thank you so much Bengaluru for the wonderful time. All these memories are for a life time.

From The Past To The Present - My Perspectives Towards Life

Well, finally I have managed to get some time to update my blog. The last title I have come up with is “Happenings from my end kind of post” which happened to be the first post in the last 2 months. What started as a regular blog has now reached to a phase where I am updating my blog once in two months. I have been trying hard to keep this space updated but the way I see, there is no proper time.

Today, I have come here on a purpose. I am being challenged on a regular basis. I am told that I hold no importance to people and I also hold no importance to relations. Well, I can dig deep into this, but let me put it simple and clear.



Life teaches you lot many things. You learn to lead your life based on your past experiences. You have a different perspective towards life. But your perspective towards life may not be the same with others. And so are the priorities.

I had a past. A past that has a very little to cherish. A life of a typical below middle classed guy who doesn't give a damn about anything. Sleeps on terrace during summers and stare towards the dark sky dreaming of something that is far from reality. Watching planes disappear into the clouds is his favorite observation. The idea of reaching somewhere close to an airport itself is an achievement back in those days.

I have absolutely no idea of where my life is heading to.

2 years down the line. I was waiting at Gate 5 of Chennai Domestic Terminal waiting to Board my maiden Air Asia flight to Bangalore. Believe me, that very moment I have realized how my life has changed. I have traveled in Indigo before this one. The first time I stepped into an airbus on April 4th 2014. I have experienced Goosebumps. The cabin crew like in the movies took me by surprise. I really loved these air travels. I don’t think there is anything more luxurious than air travel. I am happy that I have managed to experience an air travel.

Time flies by. When I look back today, I see the past sufferings. I see the amount of struggle mom and dad had faced. I remember the days when I was on roads. I remember that critical moment of time when I was left with no choice and when I had no place to live. Believe it or not, I was on roads with my luggage for 8 hours on a sunny day having no idea of where to go. I was left with no choice.

And I felt lost.

Everything in which I believed collapsed right just there.

And it’s when I started to think.

And then, there is no look back.

There isn’t much I have done to my life ever since I started thinking. It’s the choices that I have made to my life. At some point of time, everyone will have the opportunity to take some serious decisions and you need to get them right. Fortunately I have got them a little right. I have started not to think about what people had to say. I have started not to look after any relations except mom and dad. I have ignored everything for some period of time. I have made my own decisions and I have decided this is how my life is going to be.

There are people who come against your wish. But you need to be strong enough. You need to back yourself and stick on to what you believe. Keeping yourself away from relations for some period of time is very much okay. It’s your life and you are the one who has to rule. Try changing your attitude and work towards progress.

I have got a few points to people who wish to see a change in their life.

And voila!

1. Never ever give a damn about what people think.
2  Do what you love and love what you do.
3. Realize the importance of life.
4.There is a magic in life. Try experiencing it.
5.You are here for a purpose. So, better know your purpose. 
      6.There is no one else who can judge you better than you.
      7.It’s your life. You need to take the decisions. Not the third person.
      8.Try to think out of the box.
      9.Get out of your comfort zone.
    10.Keep yourself updated all the time.
    11.Gadgets are addictive. Stay away from them. 
    12.Make a habit of reading. It’s when you get into the right direction.
    13.Interact with people.      
    14.Eat good food. I have seen people who don’t invest much on food. That really wonders me.
    15.And finally, Live life to the fullest. You never know what tomorrow had in stock for you.

Well, these are the points I can make out as of now. I have followed most of the points and that is the reason why I am sharing this to you. I may have lacked a bit when it comes to interacting with people. But I am sure I will come well in future.

I hope this post of mine will help you prosper.


Always, 

Jay.

Updates-From-My-End Kind of Post (TFIOS Review Included)

So, you may ask me where the hell I am these days and where in the world I live in the promise of blog marathon which I have started a month ago. Perhaps, I am not even sure of the date I have published the last one while I am writing the current post. It's been quite a long time I must say. Can't say it to be a writers block. But it just happened. 

This post has nothing to do with the blog marathon which I consider as an utter failure. Anyway, I prefer not to think about it anymore. But this one is all about the latest happenings in my life. 

Life is always going to be tough. And I let it be that way for some reasons. You wish to have some people in your life, but they opt to be out of it forever. And you just simply can't do anything with that. After all, You are a choice which you can't make. But they can. Always. 

It's been close to 4 months and I feel it's pretty okay to be that way. Getting over is something I still can't figure it out. May be, Pain demands to be felt. Simple as that. 

Apart from that single fiasco, everything seems to be going grand as of now. Even though they aren't much to brag about. I find this guy to be exciting in the next few months to come. I have this friend who came from nowhere and landed right into my room. We have been friends from kindergarten. parted ways some 15 years back and now back in the same city and sharing the same room. Must be an exciting combination I thought. 

This guy. Ananth Ram. We can call him by various names. For instance, BITS Fame or an Artist. He is very much into these drawing stuff. A perfect guy under difficult circumstances. We have got some plans to implement and I am sure there are a lot of surprises coming in, if everything goes as planned. Facing two typical's can sometimes be a little tough. I am trying to be typical this time. What say? 

And when I look at the center part of my life, I see this writing thing which is not going as good as I wanted it to be. I am basically into this technical writing these days and I am not sure if I still have this fiction angle in me which I have lost track a long back. I wish I could write more. I wish I could work more. 

My job is a pretty cool one. Thanks to my bosses for paying me for what I write. There is a lot to learn as far marketing is concerned which I am finding it pretty interesting these days. And that SEO thing. Splendid. 

Reading books got gradually decreased in the last few months. I hardly read any book in the last quarter. But I have got enough books in stock. And that feeling is just so good. It gives me strength. Or at least I take it that way. But I have also came across this book called "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green. The cover and description is just so encouraging and I can't resist myself from purchasing it. And so I did. It was just so amazing. Half read though. 



"The Fault in our Stars" has finally released in India and I have watched it this weekend. I must admit, the movie was just awesome. Every frame, every scene. I am so much involved in it. Best movie in the recent times. 

If you are really concerned about being healthy and how it feels like not being healthy. Watch this movie in theaters near you. It's going to enlighten you for sure. 

You know, being healthy is a blessing. Those characters still revolving around in my mind. "Augustus Waters, Hazel Grace Lancaster and not to forget, this Issac. They are amazing people."  

PS: If you have read this post till the end, please take some time of yours and comment your views in the comment section. I'd prefer comments over likes. That's what keeps me motivating.

Always, 

Jay.

An Intentional Love Story (Blog Marathon Post - 1)

I have seen her today. First in the morning. And she looked special. It's not that I don't see her daily. But today, there is a reason for her to be special. And that very thought is enough to bring a smile on my face. 

- Ramalingam Sastry ( A Graduate from not so familiar University) 

A decent guy by looks. A take it easy kind of guy with good physique. Can be called as a nerd by his dark framed glasses. But, should I call him Ramalingam Sastry all the time? Or may be all my life? Yuk. I hate that. I seriously hate that. My friends are going to tease me for the rest of my life if he continues to keep the same name. I am going to talk about this to him tomorrow.

- Aparna Murthy ( A Corporate Slave by Fate)

This is going to be a story of two people named Ramalingam Sastry and Aparna Murthy who happened to fall in love intentionally. Their paths are different. Their dreams and aspirations are different. But they both stand together on one thing. And that is something they both seriously wanted from life. 

What is that "One Thing"? 

Keep Guessing. 

See you in the next post.

Marvellous Mondays: A Phobia That I was Into


It's been a great Monday at work. Usually Monday's are a kind of boring when we come after a weekend. It was actually the trend that always remains the same. Fridays are exciting and Mondays are always boring. But this is exception to the regular trend. Instead of calling it a Mokka Monday I did call it as a Marvellous Monday. It was indeed Marvellous. Get to know HOW?



The role of a content writer is never ever gonna be the same. A lot of things actually go around in mind. But I find it a bit difficult to put into words. And in the result it feels vulnerable. It feels lost and dejected. I have been a victim of this for a long time and I admit that sufferings are still on. It's hard to get out of that mess if you are once into it. It's really hard. 

You can even call it as a Phobia. I have a longing desire for something and I find it pretty much hard to achieve. When I was at the extreme levels I find myself devastated. I feel like calling it a day. But having certain things to be done by me I would just push myself to fulfill the tasks with no proper attention. 

Life is going difficult at this phase and I find myself helpless all the way. Whenever I speak out, I am interrupted by an external source and that leaves me behind forever. This process kept repeating and I have got completely used to it. But somewhere in my mind I feel like exploring out. There is nothing wrong in adding voice to your internal soul. I started motivating myself this way. I would not say that it worked. But at least, its putting me on hold. 

Am I confusing you or boring you with my weird behavior? If yes. I would like to apologize for such act. But this is what happening with my life and I have just given a thought about making it to my blog. But guess what? I have found a permanent solution to this tangled mess. And that was SOE. 

Initially I thought it was SEO. But it's not the SEO I usually work on. But it was SOE which stands for School Of Excellence. 

School Of Excellence is providing NLP (Neuro-Linguistic-Programming) which is a study of how people think, remember experiences and learn. You can visit their official website to learn more about NLP: Click here

I have found this one so very fascinating and I got a belief that this is what going to take me to the next level. I have always waited for a push that will take me to the higher level and I feel like I have just got that. 

I would personally thank Gayatri Aptekar for making this all happen. She has been part of the NLP Mumbai and she gleefully recommended me to take the first step towards NLP when I enquired about SOE. 

And here, SOE is a 6 day program that will transform you as a better person. Currently there is a session that was happening in Chennai starting from today till Saturday. I have got an invite for NLP Samosa that will give me introduction about their technology and the events they conduct. There are a couple things that saddened me  about SOE but I am sure about sorting them. 

So, dates were blocked for February 8th 2014. But the question is will I be getting a permanent solution to what I was looking for over the last few years? Will I get freed from the Phobia that I was into? Happiness is something that I have lost identifying for sometime now. Will I get complete answers to all these unanswered questions? 

This Saturday. 8th February, 2014 will have the answers to all my questions. 

If you are around Chennai come and say a Hello on 8th February at The Residency Towers.

Resolutions 2014


An article that was made on December 31st 2013 and was supposed to get published by January 1st 2014. Almost a month late in publishing this piece. I always have the habit of pushing things to the other end and that's what happened here as well. Without making much of changes I am publishing this one for you! 



Howdy people, it’s been quite some time since I had invested time in updating my blog. 2013 is one year I have been waiting for a long time now. Ever since I stepped into Graduation which I literally hated with all my heart realized that 2013 is going to be the year I get wings to fly far away. It’s always going to be a matter of seizing a job and finding a life in it. Even though I got one for now I had no exception in experiencing the hopeless jobless life. Have had suffered enough during the months of June and July which made me think about certain things in life. I have learned a lot about living. People made me learn. It’s when you get to know who will stand by you. And I’m glad that I had a few backing me during those hard times.

And now, looking at the brighter side of the year, I am so darn surprised to be a graduate. Some people might really find it silly to consider but there is no point of making fun here. I am serious about being surprised. My final exams and the results can never be short of a thriller story. It has got everything in it. And I still feel blessed to have finish it off in style by failing at regular intervals. I so much wanted to thank my stars and one special person who made it for me.

It’s been a good year for me in terms of meeting up new people whom I really admire by reading their piece of work. I feel privileged to meet the likes of Preeti Shenoy, Ravinder Singh, Durjoy Datta, Varun Agarwal, Ravi Subramanian, and Amish Tripati. The common thing about these authors is that, everyone are so humble and down to earth. I really enjoyed meeting them in person and had a candid conversation which can be a cherishing moment.

Resolutions for 2014: 

1.       Being a published Author.
2.       Hit the courts and play tennis hard.
3.       Body fitness.
4.       Reading and writing. A lot actually.
6.       Being responsible.
7.       Meeting new people. 
8.   Finding Happiness.

Now, the most exciting thing among the list will be Tennis. Love for the game has now reached a new high. Next 3 months are surely going to be crucial and I shall update the happenings regularly.
