Why Me?

I seem to like this place - New York City . Its been about 25 days since am here. Another onsite trip - another opportunity to be myself,just for myself :) I am loving this (just like in the MacD ad). A wonderful person gifted me this wonderful collection of songs, that I've added to my ipod. Each song seems to be a fresh dose of endorphins :) bringing in so much of happiness and memories. The train commute to Manhattan is amazing, and living in Jersey city is good too. Walking from the the train stop to my office in Wallstreet is so fast, sporty and different to me. This place is sure,full of life! I stay close to the Hudson river, and it is B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L! At night the reflection of all those zillion lights falling on the water is pretty,very pretty. I am sure this place is gonna leave a permanent mark in my mind. I love this moment. I love this place. I love what I am doing. This is bliss :) cya!!

Watch 11 movies over the weekend back to back, switching from one movie channel to another Cook once in 2 days.One time of cooking serves you for 3 meals. After 48 hours you realize you have not left your apartment (weekend woes) On the extreme,its every week planning and exploring a new getaway Download movies one after the other, sometimes kick off the download and go to sleep Make the best use of youtube for the timeless Koundamani-Senthil, lollusabha comedies Get bitten by the blog bug (so many 'B's) Learn cooking Learn how to wash Respond to every email, including forward from friends, old and new Check orkut,facebook,gmail,yahoo,rediff one after the other every damn night Hee hee hee ....What does all the above signify? ONSITE, alone in a faraway country!!!

No promises.. No back with a bang .. No "look out for more posts from me" ... Just a silent "hey, am back to blogging!" In this last 1 year and 2 months, I have learnt that:1) There is no use sitting and worrying, nothing moves an inch because of worrying 2) How children read your mind, even if you want to conceal whats actually happening in your mind 3) Going to temples really helps you to believe God is there 4) Emotional eating is not good at all 5) Even the smallest workout can work wonders in your body 6) Cost of living in Chennai,India = Cost of living in the some cities in the US 7) A vacation to some place outside India isnt very difficult to plan and every damn tour agency who boasts of excellent comforts is just cheating you! 8) I should move on with life and not stay away from my favourite to do stuff like blogging for some dumb reasons. 9) To be more patient with kids 10) Unlearning something, helps you to learn more about it. will blog when I feel like ...

When I was flipping through the pages of an old book I came across this wonderful quote by Harriet Beecher Stowe "So much has been said and sung of beautiful young girls, why don't somebody wake up to the beauty of old women?" So much truth in this expression. I particularly love women who are aged - be it Indians or women from any part of the globe who carry themselves very well. I met an old lady in a very small village recently, she is over 90 years- she still toils in the little bit of agricultural land that she owns, has never been to the doctor at all - she has 3 children, all of them educated and settled in different parts of the country. She also told me that she took care of her delivery all by herself! WOW!! I asked her for her name, she said you can call me paati (thats how you say grandmother in tamizh). Her husband, as she recalls was'nt a great contributor to the family's wellness. So she had to take charge all life and she says she doesnt remember a...

ரொம்ப நாள் கழிச்சு காரில் ஒரு நெடும் பயணம் - மதுரையில் இருந்து பெங்களூர் வரை. 9 மணி நேரம் ஓட்டிறது ஒரு "ஹெர்கூலியன்" அனுபவமாக இருந்தது! பயணம் செய்யும் போது அலுப்பு தெரியவில்லை, வீட்டுக்கு வந்து படுக்கையில் சாய்ந்தபோதுதான் உடம்பு பட்ட பாடு தெரிந்தது! நடுவில் சேலத்தில் மட்டும் ஒரு காபி சாப்பிட நிறுத்தம், மற்றபடி ஒரே சீராக ஓட்டம்தான். நல்ல வெப்பம் மதுரையில், நல்ல வேளை மழை இல்லை. பயணத்தின் போது கேட்கும் பாடல்கள் நிச்சயம் நல்ல துணை, நேற்று இதை நான் உணர்ந்தேன். முதலில் லேட்டஸ்ட் என்ற பேர் கொண்ட ஒரு எம்.பி.3 சி.டி நிறைய பாடல்கள். கேட்டேன் என்றுதான் சொல்ல வேண்டும், அவ்வளவு இரசிக்கவில்லை. எனக்கு ஐபாட் என்றால் இஷ்டம்தான், ஆனால் என்னவோ ஹெட்ஃபோன் என்றால் ஒரு அலர்ஜி.அதனால் அமெரிக்கா சென்றபோது எனக்கென ஒன்று வாங்கவில்லை, தங்கைக்கு ஒன்று வாங்கினேன், அதில் அவள் பெயர் பதித்து! அலுவலகத்தில் மட்டும் பாடல் கேட்கத் தோன்றினால் எப்போதாவது கேட்பேன். எப்போதும் என் வீட்டில் பாடல்களை சி.டி. ப்ளேயரில் கேட்க பிடிக்கும், அதிக சத்தம் இல்லாமல் கேட்க பிடிக்கும், அதிலும் இரவில் பாட்டு கேட்டுக்கொண்டே தூங்க ரொம்...

When we look back in our lives and think about those people who made a difference in our lives, one thing surely comes to our mind. Thats one of your best / worst conversations with them. Well, thats that power of communication! Words mean a lot. I am surely reminded of the song "Words" now, and those lines "it's only words , and words are all I have to take your heart away!" Thats rightly said, when we express ourselves with the right choice of words it does make a difference and increases the chances of achieving what we had in mind. Needless to say, in love - words are all that matter. They say, "marry someone whom you love to talk and listen to".I am totally with this saying. A lot of eruptions happen in married life when a couple fail to communicate or miscommunicate. Tracking back to why we utter some words, it comes from within. The thoughts that run in your mind, induce you to say things.Whether you have chosen the right words or the attitude w...
