THE POEM CALLED LIFE

I am worthless I know. I am lethargic to change. The heart wants to make a difference each day. The mind quivers and pains. Around me The Efficient live. I admire and unfazzled I remain. With doors many open I shut my eyes tight.........! Ps. Worthless me....Forgive me Lord for I am wasting the gifts....forgive me!

Of late I have been catching up with a few shows and old/new movies...on TV and at the mall I hate Luv Storys : No I don't :)...I actually love mushy movies with a tint of comedy. This one was ok. Imran is cute. As an actor ?...well this movie didn't require much on that front. Sonam Kapoor has got a very open smile...don't know if its fake but it good :D. The story is about a girl who is 'Girly' and a boy who is 'Boyish' and how they ...ahem! fall in love..what else did u expect? Rating: 2/5 Wake up Sid : Same as above...Discovered that Ranbir can actual act! This story had something more than just a love story. A few tit bits about how easy the present generation (who have their fathers/mothers purse) looks at life, lack of discipline, lack of interest/confidence towards finding your true calling, friends, parents. I liked it. Konkana as the independent and patient friend turned lover is a terrific actor. Rating: 3/5 Om Shanti Om : Am not gonna t...

Amma finished her sabari mala trip and is back with a very bad flu. The trip went on well and she had a very good darshan. While amma was away I had to 'manage' the house. Its not that easy when it includes managing 3 brats ( Acha, M and Achu) who don't have any intersections I could take advantage of. I didn't do very well but I 'managed' to live through...yes they did too. Acha had his normal medical check up. The results are yet to come. Slightly worried with what the Doc is going to say. Prayers. M left to Jaipur today. He should be back in two days.The roads seem smooth and we are making total use of the very little times we agree on things....watching movies,visiting malls, shopping, hunting for flats, test driving, planning holidays....Its been good for the 2 of us. Achu actually loves it when am around.This guy doesn't show how much he misses me when am not there.I bunked office for a couple of days last week as amma was away and found out.  He t...

This is not a happy blog....2 days and I have heard of 3 souls who have departed Sri Thulasi - He managed our family temple in Trivandrum  Thozhuvankode Sri Chamundi Devi Temple for more than 35 years. He is behind the temple's disciplined growth.He still will. Early yester morning he went to pray. He fell at the feet of Devi and passed away. Suresh - He is an AC mechanic. A very hard worker and would come to office and home every now and then to assemble a new AC ,service the ones we have or to answer a complaint. Everytime we had a 'AC related anything' it would be " Suresh-e kupidhungo" ( Call Suresh ). Just met him 2 weeks back at office while he was servicing and had requested him to come home to fix an AC in Achu's room.Now whose going to do that! :( M's Relative - I had met her in Trivandrum some 6 years back. Just once. A very warm person. She has left us too. All so sudden ...too sudden Some people you meet often ...some you don't So...

Being a single child Isolation in life went wild Slowly I evolved to love it Today am a solitude bandit To get that little time I strive and whine While its war at work To-dos at home lurk Company I surely need But my space a bit more indeed Loaded with overlapping tasks I must adorn multiple masks Lost am I in my own busy world With people and thoughts distinctively blurred Today loneliness is a myth Meet me, the Solitude Bandit PS. No this is not the poem I mentioned about in my last post . This one just popped out when a friend of mine wrote about wanting company....and I wrote "Here's my version of  not having ,then having and then wanting to not have any company. But I guess there needs to be a balance. While you need a 'with ppl' break I just need a 'without ppl' break :)  

"Search and you will find Something good in every kind" Me penned down those lines a decade ago when a random id friend on chat asked me how I could be silent when slashed at and respond in a positive note over a sour incident ( oh don't even bother to ask ...what happens when you morph a hypersenstive ego boosted attention seeking id with a inteligent conversation?...a syn(c)tax error :)...it doesn't work plus you have a ammonia filled chatroom! ). It didn't mean much...much it got me thinking. If you feel anything negative about a person always try to find the many/few things you like about him/her and loving the person will not be tuff anymore. It works. Try it.   Its my turn today. Acha: He is hard working, filled with love,doesn't care of what people talk about him, continues to do good to every person he can afford to help even if the person doesn't deserve it. His faith in God supreme. He is Mr.Postive. Amma: Selfless *full stop* M: This...

The preparations for the festival of lights fills up every corner with excitement... The Outside - Clients come in with sweet boxes rather than the usual IT letters and everybody has the 'holiday' mood attitude at work - every street has a cracker shop where you witness pre teen boys accompanied by their grandpas or pas scrambling through the colourful covers to find 'the' fireworks for the season both parties equally excited and teens loitering around and getting hold of the 'fancy and fierce works' to show off their skills at the community celebration - its the season lighten your purse as well with offers innumerable...its the right time to get that LCD you wanted to watch Super singer on or the Smartphone you wanted to twitter on. Clothes in all textures and colours outline shops and eateries have never been so enticing with a kg of warm melting mysore pak free for a kg of anything else you get ..no there are no deductions allowed on the kgs you gain -...

As a five year old..... - Dressy ? Yes. Because my mom force-dressed me for every occasion with pinks,lace,frills and all that's girly. - Did I look like a girl after all the effort? No. - Who influenced me? My brothers. So I was generaly tagging along wherever my cousin brothers went and did. Be it walking in mud, climbing trees, finding tadpoles and earthworms, being dirt itself  I religiously followed. And amma used to tell me I even started looking ( what is the opposite of biologically evolved ?) like one of them As a 10 year old... - Enlightened yet? Not really but the first signs of womenhood did surface. I was keen on how I behaved. Yeah the girly giggles and social networks (on a class to class basis) did begin. But still I wasn't the girl you would imagine. - Looks? Didn't matter still. Wasn't really consious of the way I looked - bugs bunny teeth et all! - Influences....Friends, mother and my cousins As a 15 year old... - What the story? The girl c...
