At Home ...

Am at home now!!! And enjoying all the privileges that go with it!!! Eating as if I have not had a morsel to eat the past 4 months & sleeping to my heart's content...It is a wonder how you get to sleep so soundly at home with all the commotion happening around you (you will get an idea of what I am talking about if you have ever dealt with 2 shrieking kids around you) and don’t get a wink of sleep anywhere else with not even a whisper of wind to disturb you... But that is what Home is all about I guess... Feels great to be back!!!

Went via Bangalore to Trichy this time …. Stayed with my brother & my ‘perimma/maasi’ for 2 days in Bangalore...Unlike Tamilnadu you can manage with Hindi or English in Bangalore… a cool place...literally & figuratively …went to a mall (yeah again…:-)) and roamed around.. Could not resist the book shop there …there was really a good collection of books … Got Bourne Supremacy (Aye!! the same thriller movie) by Robert Ludlum and Shashi Tharoor‘s INDIA – Midnight to Millennium..The second one gifted by my brother... Hoping for a good read on that one ...

Finished a quarter century in this Earth today...Yeah...Its my birthday today... and for once I did the right thing by coming home at this time of the year … Mom, Dad and my sisters have always made this day special.. Not anything as elaborate as cake cutting … but the more subtle yet touching one when each one of them wish me the first thing in the morning …That really makes me feel special …Went to the temple today with them (yeah you got it… once in a year affair) wearing saree with all the extra fittings (a very heavy attire let me tell you…tried telling Mom but she would not listen… so thought of humoring her at least today :-))

Felt ‘Mumbai Sick’ yesterday night... Was awake for quite some time looking at the photos…& felt nostalgic …Was reminded of the past 2 birthdays there … the customary cake cutting with all the friends around … That was really something … Each one of them had made my life richer in some way …hmmm… Will go back there...Hopefully someday soon…

Till then... it is five more days of bliss ..at HOME ...

Signing off

Rajnikanth - Fish out of water !!

It was the first or rather the 2nd Rajnikanth movie for me to watch in theatre.. I do not know what I had expected to see.. But somehow it beat all the expectations I had .. I like him somehow.... those eyes of his have captured thousands of Tamil people's hearts (yeah.. not an exaggeration) ..and even though am not a fanatic of his movies.. I like him... It is his latest - ' Chandramukhi ' & I had watched it along with some of my friends in Matunga ..It was a different experience seeing a Rajnikanth movie in Mumbai ... But before u read on I just want to write a disclaimer ' The views expressed here are not intended to hurt anybody's taste . It is solely intended as a topic for discussion' .. Thanks.. now read.. Rajini is not that good an actor.. he fails miserably in sentimental scenes... he doesnt know to dance or atleast u can say that his dance is not graceful ... he doesnt pronounce Tamil the way it is supposed to be ...he started out his career as a v

Its about Books ..

Life has become hectic..either I am in the office working or at home sleeping... It has become very rare to meet even my room mates... But the work is exciting enough ..and does make me feel that I am finally a part of the world of Networking professionals.There is a long way to go in terms of learning ..But I feel that I have taken the first baby steps towards what I want to achieve... Apart from work there are other quality things that I feel very strongly for ... for example .. Books ... The times that I stay home are usually spent reading.. Reading has been the greatest passion in life so far... and it has been like that for quite some time.. Even though writing is my new love.. nothing can take away the pleasure of curling up in bed with a good book...& it is an added pleasure if you are the proud owner of the book...The most beautiful thing about financial independence I have realised is ..you can lay your hands on any book you want & buy it too without feeling guilty tha

Random Thoughts ...

Sunday - Nov 6th 12:30 pm It is a lazy Sunday afternoon and am half sitting and half lying down in the living room sofa of my PG house listening to some Hindi songs.. and day dreaming..There is a chill in the air even though it is in the middle of the afternoon which is a bit strange for me.. & it reminds me that I have not done my Winter shopping yet which people are claiming will almost kill us Southies who are not used to it... It feels totally relaxing to be like this... a state wherein you are not bothered by anything ... no cases .. no irate PM trying to make your life miserable.. just the radio playing 'khajrare' the nth time.. never liked it that much to begin with .. but out of sheer repetition I have become used to it... But all cannot be peaceful in this perfect sunday .. I knew ...Yet again two of my PG mates are shouting at the maid & she is shouting back.. am seriously amazed at their lung power... 2 people vs 1 ... still the maid is giving equal competit
