Summers remind me of…

Summers remind me of..
..
Of no schools/colleges and no home-works to complete,
Of seemingly innumerable holidays and loads of time at hand,
..
Of playing ice-pass (hide and seek) in the red hot sun,
Of playing all day and playing a deaf ear to parents worries of getting tanned,
Of playing gully-cricket and breaking the window panes of the neighbors,
Of climbing [...]

Honestly, I am Confused

Wondering what the title is about? Well those are two of the awards i received from two of my blogging friends.
Not-so-long ago, Nancy awarded-cum-tagged me with the Nameless award
Per the rules of this tag, i will have to tell the readers 7 things about myself  that they don’t know about but are true.
And very [...]

A Writeup

From a long time I wanted to write. For a while, work kept me busy, which was followed by certain personal commitments. And then i lost interest in writing and after getting done with all these, I wondered what to write. Not that i did not have anything in mind. Time and again a new [...]

A Post to Begin the New Year

L.I.F.E.
I wanted to write something about life
All I could think was that it is like a knife.

A knife is a tool which is very useful
But while using, one ought to be careful;
Similarly, Life is something which makes us wonder
And when struck by something one has to pause and ponder!

After multiple use, a knife wears down
It [...]

Telangana- A New state is a solution?

Protests, bandhs, 144section, fasts, heated discussions among friends, relatives, in the office among colleagues, combined with a bundle of uncertainty -that, in short is how it has been around me for the past one month. I always had this feeling that the regional news or rather news from AP seldom appear in the national news [...]

26/11 – A recollection

Last year this time all of us were glued to the TV sets and were following how terror unfolded in Mumbai. We cried, we complained, we fought back and here we are after a year. The anger in us has subsided but the pain and the fear still lingers deep down in our hearts.  Looking [...]

Tastes which are different

I call myself a foodie, but then i am very choosy about what i eat. The food i eat must first look good and it is only then that i at least keep it in my mouth for tasting it. My mom still has a tough time with my picky choices Many have called [...]

The Tale of Two books and a Ramble

I have completed reading the ‘2 states’ by Chethan Bhagat. This is the first time that I bought a book within a month of its release and even completed reading it. Going by the history of my book reading it is no less than an achievement. Coming back to the book, it was a nice [...]

50 Years of Doordarshan

On September 15th 2009, Doordarshan has completed 50 years.
50 years! Very long time. Isn’t it? Today, with over a 100+ channels, most of them 24X7, I am not sure how many of them will be remembered after 10 years. But I am sure DD still lingers in the memories of many. For me Doordarshan has [...]

Survival is always good?

Well.. I am feeling otherwise.
Until a couple of days I was of the opinion that, come what may the good thing to happen in any accident or disaster is Survival. In some cases it may lead to impairment/disability but I felt the person would be happy to survive through that incident and able to enjoy [...]
