Between You And Me

Hi there, thank you once again for taking your time to read this blog. Very recently while passing through a very familiar street in Bangalore, I realized that something was different in the street. The street looked wider and spacious. After mulling over for about a minute, it stuck me that the roads have become broader because the tress were cut down. It was very disheartening to see the road barren of the trees. The beautiful canopy of trees on both sides that provided so much shade and coolness was lost. The street felt devoid of life. Why would the government approve for such a depressing act. Are not people ever going to  realize  that we have already swiped off a fair share of nature, and the more we are destructing, the more we are nearing danger. I read in today’s news that the cab drivers in Delhi have initiated a protest. The protest was against the High court’s order of changing their diesel cabs to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). The order was made ...

Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to read this post. It’s a short simple article about my day’s experience. If you’re wondering about who the “you” in my title refers to, it is none other than my beloved mobile phone. Today morning was just like every other morning. Got up with the same lazy eye, completed my everyday chores, packed up and left for work. Just a few minutes after leaving home, somehow I got lucky and got an auto immediately. In the regular momentum, I opened my handbag to take out my mobile phone to finish my routine mobile time. To my shock, I realized that I had actually left my mobile at home. A sudden feeling of mild sadness took over me. I checked my watch, and realized that I did not have enough time to take a detour back home and pick up the mobile. With a heavy heart I proceeded my day without my phone. The following are the different emotions I had throughout my day: ·          Forecast of the imposs...

Let me start by appreciating the Director, Sudha Kongara, and the team for making an offbeat movie. The movie revolves around women’s boxing and how it is perceived in India. The movie has a decent story line that is backed by a very good screenplay. The movie reveals stark truth about the how women’s boxing is dealt in our country. It also brings to light, how politics and power influence Indian sports and sportsmanship. The story is about, how an aspiring girl who lives in the coastal slums in Chennai becomes an International Boxing champion. Madhavan (referred to as Prabhu in the movie) plays the role of the famous boxing coach. Without any doubt, Madhavan is perfectly tailor made for the role. His robust built and tough acting skills blend in to make him splendid on screen. The lack of dirty glamour and too many unnecessary song sequences makes the movie even more watchable. The small music sequences in-between the movie showcasing love, brings in some cuteness, making the ...

Money!!!The word that has been ruling the world for quite a few centuries. I cannot picture how the world would have been during the barter system age. Money has become the most fundamental need for human beings. For some people, it is the sole purpose of their life. How money matters to individuals differs according to their mind-set. There are poor people, rich people, and middle class people who have their own idea and desire for money. On a broader spectrum, the idea of money is like a chain reaction that never ends. A person with a cycle wants a bike; a person with a bike wants a car; a person with a car wants a personal jet; and the guy with a personal jet??? Probably is still not happy. Why money matters and why it does not? There is an old saying “Money can’t buy happiness”. But somehow this phrase is not very applicable in current day’s scenario. People assume that money provides happiness. For a few it might hold good, for a few it might not. I feel that t...

A few days back I traveled from Chennai to Bangalore in the Double Decker express train. Right from the day the ticket was booked; I was looking forward for the journey. My excitement level was similar to that of a kid expecting a fun trip. The journey was a neutral one. It certainly did not live up to my expectation, but I would neither call it a bad one. Let me share with you a few pros and cons of the train. I was praying to get a seat in the upper deck, but to my disappointment, I got a seat in the lower deck. The train was definitely clean than most of the other trains I have traveled . It was clean both inside and out. The seating arrangements are very similar to that of a normal Chair Car. Three seats on one side, and two seats on the other side. After you get inside the train there are about two rows of seats in the middle level. Then you have steps that navigate to both the upper deck and the lower deck. I found my seat, which was near t...

I cannot fight my tear When you are not any near Why would you leave me here? When no one else would hear There is no light in my life When you are out of my sight Gone are the nights that were warm Closely cuddled inside your arms All I wanted was another day To tell you everything I wanted to say What will I do anymore without you? Shattered into pieces without a clue I buried my face and wanted to scream Wishing all this was a dream Crazy as it sounds I am just running in rounds I do not know where I am going Without having any sense of an ending Before I have anything to say         Please take me with you right away!....

Hello, there. Thanks, for taking the time to read this post. I am positive you will love it! OK, this is how it goes.  This post is simple, funny, motivating, (at least I say so ;)). I figured that in the vast world out there; many people are confused, anxious, and blase about their life. (Don’t ask me how I figured; I have some connection with ‘greater power of the universe’)Just kidding! I have a few of people I know; who feel this way, and I too feel it sometimes. So this post is more like a DIY. Not exactly a craft idea, but something to think about. Imagine that you were gifted any one of the following: A Magic Wand, A Genie, A Magic Switch, or A Time Machine. Let me guess. I can hear wishes already. (Costly car, palatial bungalow, trip around the world... Oh god! How did I forget the latest iPhone??) Now, sorry to interrupt, but let me explain the property of these imaginary things. They give you the power to go back 3 to 4 years of your lif...
