Things are going horribly wrong in life... Professionally, its become tooooo nice and charmless, that i would like some change soon.. personally i need a revamp.. rethinking of where i want to be and what i want... lots of questions, very little answers.. bewildered iam looking at people and their attitude...sometimes we need to get hurt by people closest to us, to learn something absolutely necessary i guess... is it?.... the end of the year is always gloomy for me... time to go back and see how the year was...fret over uncompleted targets, regret various things, wishing that i hadn't behaved the way i did with certain people and in certain situations ... of course there are good things to remember also, but this year the bad over shadows the good... hope and faith are the 2 things which keep us going i guess... so hoping that the new year is better than the current one... and having faith in myself that i will work towards making this new year a better one for me and my fami

scariest flight!

I haven’t really traveled much by air.. and whatever times i have traveled by flight, has been within India, though it has been in one of the longest routes, the delhi- blore route of 2 and half hrs of flight time... So the other day I was traveling from banglaore to trivandrum by flight... for an audit as a part of my work all alone. Since I wasn’t paying for it and was on a official tour, i was quite upbeat!.. I was taking a morning flight of "blah blah" airlines (wont disclose the name) to trivandrum, no wait thiruvananthapuram.. The flight was delayed by over an hour. No probs.. A mallu dude, 1 yr three month old irfan was keeping us entertained!!... With his deafening screams and running from one end to another end with his dad on tow was hilarious!.. He was one handful.. Chubby to the extent of resembling a football and wearing more gold than i have ever worn in my entire life, he was a delight! mmmuuaah! :)... Oh well! blore - cochin flight is announced, i said bye to

WHEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

That’s how it is when one is swinging!! I love swings!! Those small seats tied to 2 ropes which goes wheeeeeeee back and forth, up and down, have always been my favorite!! I remember all those days of going to cubbon park almost 2 decades back and waiting for my turn to sit on those swings while my dad would push it, and it would go high up in air! Wheeeeee!!! :D I even loved those uncomfortable “ well rope” swings temporarily put up on to a sturdy jack fruit tree back in our village, when all the cousins got together during summer holidays! I used to love it when it used to go high up in air and I would stretch one of my hand ( one hand firmly holding the rope ofcourse) to touch the tree top and the sky!… apart from the pushing and jostling the innumerable kids to use the swing first and for a longer duration! Yes of course, those ropes did hurt, so I have voluntarily given up many times to the next cousin in the Que! Years passed, I grew up, err a bit too big for a swing :( at 5 feet

“marley & me” and ME

when I asked my best friend to bring me a good book to read as I was feeling a bit low lately, I was not very serious. But she promised me she would get me a “make u feel good” book. True to her word she did. So the following week when we met she handed over to me this book “marley & me”. I looked at it with not so much of interest. A book about a dog? Oh! well ok… she had a dog of her own, so she would like it but me? I have an aversion to animals.. no I don’t hate them, but I don’t like them either.. except for baby animals.. I like them but from a distance.. be it baby dogs, baby elephants, baby cows or even baby cockroaches( yes I have never killed a baby cockroach with the broom.. I leave them to scamper away).. My closest encounter with a puppy was when I was 6. I walked in to a neighbour’s house and had encountered their new “just got from store” puppy lunging at me with the delight of a long lost friend! I had let out a scream so loud and had run so fast , that my “embarras

why?

Saw an eccentric neighbour who has 2 kids of his own, the second one being less than a month old, shout at his maid's 1 yr old daughter so very badly... the baby was choking in its tears... rest of the neighbours were also watching but nobody intervened... why would they? she was a maid's daughter... i dint too.. not coz she was a maid's daughter, maybe coz i dint have enough guts....one day i will... and yes, i hope that man rots in hell.

Holy dung!

This incident happened on my way back from the bus stop the other day.its usually around 15 Min's walk from the stop to my home.each day there are interesting incidents to be witnessed or interesting people to observe.. the other day i saw a bunch of kids playing on the road.a small kid aged around 4 had a worried look on her face.. i looked down at where she was staring. her leg was in the cattle dung in the middle of the road.. poor little thing i thought.. she looked at her elder sister all of 7 for help.. the elder one in order to cheer her up said, "its ok, adhu devaru!"(in Kannada - ITS GOD) i suppressed a smile, and walked on.. the road is a steep one so takes time, that's how i got to witness this whole thing mind you, not coz iam a slow lethargic walker!.. i had passed these girls, when i heard the worried tone of the younger one-" then its wrong to touch god by foot na akka? (elder sister)"! alarmed i turned back, half expecting the kid to touch t
