Ganesh Chathurthi

It is a big festival for all of us. But this year vinayaka chathurthi (as called in TN) is more special for me, for I am attending one after 10 years. Last time I was in home for this festival when I was in my 11th std ;) . So this time I was all geared up. With some escalations which popped up at last minute showed signs of my trip getting cancelled, I still managed to go, in spite of reaching the bus stand 15 late !!!. The festival was more filling than in one way. Three or four types of chundals, a lot of fruits, pori, kollukattai's... O my god... I never ate like that in the recent past. Suddenly I started longing to be in Chennai. Truely. All of a sudden I feel that being with family is also good, I mean.. Feels good. Took Monday off, spent some time with my sis, saw some movies , gave some serious gyan to parents to take care of their health. And had some real good quality sleep ;)

Basically, had a good time at home :)

Sudden Dullness.

Suddenly the world looked dull today.
All the people around me looked dull, hazy, as if they are unsure about something.
The vehicles in the road were going in a chaotic manner and the drivers are surprised with the sudden appearance of the vehicle. In office, the manager looked strangely as if someone didn’t reciprocate a smile when he expected. The monitor looks dull, the program crashes dumbly. The same chapathai kurma looks different, even though it tastes the same junk. I can keep going on like that …


How many times have you experienced this?
I do every two months.
Whenever I break my specs.

Going colorful..

The Blogger .com is in the process of upgradation. This morning I logged in to report the happenings of the last weekend and hardly knew I was in for surprise.

A beta version of the blogger is ready and I was asked the option of moving ahead.
For which of course, I will always be ready!!!.

Any case, here I am, typing my post, after successfully migrating to the beta version.

Lot of good things is in store. The look and feel has improved evidently, as the Dashboard looks different and definitely betterJ. Font color options, new and better layouts make it kinda cool. Best thing is u can upgrade ur existing theme without any hassle. Label is a new option provided by default, apart couple of other new things to put it on ur blog page. Another good thing is improved access control to have private blogs!!! . I definitely need one.

You need a gmail account to port urself to this beta version and eventually to the new blogger (I believe) and hereon ur gmail account will be ur login.
As such really happy about it and it really looks cool and atleast some change in my life ;). So decided to put a small post on that...

Google rocks!!!!

Tax Return

I successfully filled my tax returns today. :) I know, it will be kind of shocking to u folks that the saka, who does things wrt his to-do list, slipped away from his tax returns date. Sorry folks, No I was on my schedule. Actually my previous employers failed to send my Form16 on time. I got my form 16 only on Monday!!! And managed to file it by today!!!!

Since I have nothing to pay or nothing to get back, I can file anytime before March 31st and so I am quite on time :) !!!

Identity Crisis

If you really know me well, please don’t read this post. I know people hardly read my blog and I really don’t care about what they feel as they are reading in my space(as advised repeatedly by my friend), but still u may change ur opinion abt me , if u read this post. So please please don’t read this…

If you really know me, then please don’t read any further, but mail me immediately to tell me what u know about me. Yes, tell me what u know abt me, what u thought abt me, what u think abt me, for I want to know what I am. I really want to know what I was, and what I am so that at least now, I will know what I am and can decide what I want to be…..

I am going nuts... I am going thru an Identity crisis. Yep. I thought I underwent one in my teens, when I was in the edge of deciding on something which would have changed my life drastically, but God was there with me and made me choose the right one. Or rather my intense faith and prayer would have made him to pull into his folds for sometime. But now, he is not even informed of what’s happening in my life.

I remember I was fine. I was feeling good with myself, had some good friends, had good fun, had some leadership qualities, had people who admired me, had people whom I admired, had people whom I helped in what they are now, had people whom I looked upon. I was fine.

Then I really don’t know what happened. I never noticed my fall. I never realized that I am going down. I never noticed that I am forgetting myself, Never noticed that I am loosing myself.
Now I am lost and I am lonely.
