The Lost poem... I wish i shouldn't have postponed... Neeraja and I met through a marriage broker and had an arranged marriage. I married her when I was 25 and She was 20.. In our first meeting itself, I decided that she is the one I could spend the rest of my life. That day, she was in her pink saree, pale and the jasmine, that she wore on her head filled the room with an alluring fragrance. Without even looking at me, she said yes because her parents were happy with my profile and indeed i was an easy fit for their requirements. My profile was, that of a graduate, assisting my father in his diamond business and was about to take over it as he was going to retire.  We were one of the most happily married couple.   Neeraja was not a person who compared her life with anyone and ask for things. She was satisfied with what we had. Life was smooth until the tragic accident. We planned to visit Triupathi to celebrate our 50 th   marriage anniversary.. During our return,I los...

Enola Holmes! Before I write about the movie review, I would like to add in the incident that happened before watching the movie… Before right the movie time, I happened to talk to my collage mate who’s short term goal is to  phone me in this year.. What a celebrity feeling.. Hold on there.. it is not that I am busy.. she is..After speaking to her, we made a long term goal.. Jai I am on.. So, be ready! 😊 ..  you know how I am consistent with my goals.. 😊  This movie definitely add the required inspiration to our Long term goal ..   The lines from the movie “ The future is up to us”!!   Honestly, from yesterday, I had the bitter feeling that someone designed my retirement plan well ahead of me.. Now I realized, I have still time to plan the retirement as I want.. Hopefully… 😊 but is not too early to plan the retirement.. well, I did not think of until someone probed me.. so it is better not to late!!   Well.. Movie Review…   A sherlock h...

  A long waiting… December 25 th : 8:00 PM IST, Mumbai. There was a brief silence in another end…. I had been waiting to hear the voice from long time. We never spoke to each other in person even though we see each other often. She always wanted to tell me something whenever I crossed by. She never told anything either I stopped by her more than a sec. Her glance is enough for me to fill in the day. An adorable smile, with a yearning look.! Any writer will get inspired from the beautiful eyes, so I! December 1st:  8: 00 AM IST, Mumbai.. To start my next story, I wanted a new environment to think through. My mom suggested to stop by my cousin sister’s matrimonial house which is at Kerala. I could not attend her marriage due to book publishing. I thought this would be the best way to make it up for her… December 13th: 10:30 PM IST, Kerala. Hello....... December 13 th : 12:00 PM IST, Kerala Neetu, “stop stop don’t run. You might fall”. Neetu, my sister’s kid. Sh...

  Friends:The true asset!   An amazing topic right? I hope I do justice to it!!   Well, let me start with a quote, “Tell me who you go with and I'll tell you who you are"  as rightly said, but it is hard to get that one… Friend, while defining , is often misunderstood in many ways .. Example, this word is replaced by the best school mate/neighbor/college mate/ colleague/well wishers etc.. i believe that, there is a difference in being friend than being best on the role. Ex.  if a colleague remembers your anniversary and gets a gift or  share the  favorite meal or a neighbor who is extra kind to take care when sick, is often misunderstood by the word called "friend". Extra attention and kindness is not sign board of being friends. Importantly, most often the r ole of guide or mentor is  misunderstood as frienship. Feeling sympathy and guiding does not guarnatee a friendship.. it might guarnatee a follower!. Y es, ofcourse, a friend can be a m...

 Animals..! Today blog topic is "Animal".. I am not the animal lover. I maintain social distancing with them at any given point of time. strictly..!  However, the topic is "Animals", I think I go about.."Comparing Animals vs Human"  on my perception! After Human or like Human, only Animal follow the same breathing pattern. The history says that we,human are from monkey and chimpanzee. Yes, if we take a closer look , we do have similarities.. Defined way of two legs, hands, face structure … all together , we typically match.. 😊 except that we stand tall, they crawl ..! Sense: Human beings are blessed with an additional sense i .e "Proprioception", this word is not from me.. Google.. 😊   On simple terms it is " Awareness". Awareness of the body parts and its movment!! I really wonder is that only Human being can sense it? I think even animal has it.. Question is that, if animal gets hurts in on some of the body part, does that even ...

Tell from the beginning.. how it came and what it is..?" Grandpa , adjusting his specs starts the story.. I was a leader for my country. When I had been on  a Delhi visit. I co...

Eye Contact:   Meeting one eyes’ can be more romantic, dangerous scary or peace that can spread over. It is been belief that truth cannot be hidden when look at someone eyes. Sita and Rama’s eyes met. Rama was speechless when he first met Sita’s eye.. Pin-drop silence between them . Thousands words conveyed. Sita’s sisters were speechless having Ram dharsan. The world was silent for a moment. The Ramayana born!   Note: In the below story, just character’s name are inspired from Ramayana, not the story! Perhaps the mokkai story you are going to read..  And I do not have any intention to spoil the greatness of Ramayana….Hence,please do not compare or set the expectations before reading.. 😊 ******************************** As a routine, after dinner, Ram writes and sleep in the same cot, once the sleeps takes him. The cot,   the kaithu Kattil (Hand Knitted Wooden Single Size Cot) which is in the balcony.   Ram, after completing his Agriculture Engineering...

  Food! Today blog is on Food.. !  As soon as I write food, tempted to have something.. Gulped an omelet and a packet of chiki.. Before I tempt to eat something else, let me finish blog today! Even before music, food is all-time favorite thing! Food works as one of the best pampering and therapy for all sort of emotional ups n downs and strictly, only while eating. No cooking..  p.s: I love to cook if I can experiment on someone  and providing the other person  eat with no complaints and appreciate me with goodies.. Day Dream! Umm.. in short, my brain does not work if  I happen to starve. Dare to starve!! No ways.. The golden memories from my food journey.. Incident #1: In 2009,   I was travelling from Mysore to Salem. That’s was an entire night journey.   In those days, only countable buses were available to Salem from Mysore and I was travelling on a public holiday. Hence, there was less possibilities for me to get a bus without booking....

Dance..💃 Dance is a lovely art, that helps to communicate the inner feelings in an artistic way and it is been one of the most fascinating art that created histories..   This blog is on my dance experience! After reading,Dance is one of my favorite extracurricular activities.  As a kid, I was good at dance. I cannot remember my school day’s function without my dance & skit performance, Indeed, I was trained on Bharathnatyam unofficially by my school teachers. For one of the year, they even hired dance master to train us for  the school events. Lucky us! Sometimes, we used to replicate dance steps as per the film choreography. Some of the songs i have performed on the basis are Nadha Vinodhangal,  laalaku dole etc.. .   Those days, I was performing as per the dance teachers expectation.  I hardly had the understanding of the song words.   The costumes are quite funnier and make ups were made to match up those days definitions of art.. And ...

Vessel: Vessel, my first thought, an inexhaustible vessel, Panchali’s, which fed the Pandvas and her guest unconditionally. Well, The blog is not on the magical Akshay Patra.. It is about the Vessel, on a philosophical angle.👀 In this influenced world, body, the vessel is highly overvalued than soul. We tend to judge people based on the first look than the first word. Adding on to it, we are moving to generation where a healthier body is defined by zero size i.e., Man is judged by his six pack and woman by her slimmer waist. If you ask me is it truly important, my thought would be, it is important to be comfortable than being classy.  The outlook should not overpower the soul. On a run, one is not remembered for their outlook. Beyond the outlook, the presence of person matters!  When I say presence, it is not the physical presence. Value added by one to the situation!   The outlook should not be a showstopper to get know a person! I would rather prefer a pers...

The Unrequited love! 💕 A fiction story 😊 .. After watching many shahrukh Khan and Bollywood movies, I tried a love tale..   ************************   As I sat down with my morning coffee near my window seat, closed my eyes, trying to recollect our meeting..   Our meeting started with an awkward moment... I came to the mall 2hrs early for the movie as my time did not pass by .The coffee shop was too crowded. I could see an empty table with two chairs, empty in a corner.. I sat by that table.I thought it would be empty as always. But you came in ,smiled and said, "Sorry, this table is reserved by my me.. Can you shift to another table". .I looked up at you from my youtube troll video and coffee.   L ooked around and then said, "Sorry, there is no place.. Can I sit here for another 10 mins to finish my coffee and cake?  You agreed,and sat opposite to me. I still remember the plaid shirt and jeans you were wearing… You were neither lean nor obese.. I...
