A wish for long…

The place that cradled me when I was a kid,
The place that nourished me with all the goodness,
Doubled my happiness with its care & resources,
The land that surfaced all the little talents in me,
Where the best of my friends & extended family I got,
The place that gave me more than I could ever ask for…!

An Unexpected Experience...!!!

April 2nd 2011 – Grand finale of the cricket world cup 2011

 
Sri Lanka was to play against India in the commercial capital of India - Mumbai. Being an Indian and a cricket lover, this was possibly one helluva event in her life! To see her country sweat it out in the final step towards the Ultimate Cup, called for all her time and attention...

Tips to stay OLIVE’ly Happy!

** Olive Oil **

1.    Rich in vitamins and antioxidants.
2.    Highly effective in neutralizing the free radicals that are known to damage healthy skin.
3.    Helps our skin regulate its natural moisturizing systems.
4.    With its unique ability to mix with water, olive oil penetrates deep, helping our skin to retain its moisture without clogging pores.
5.    Oxidized oils cause blackheads and a host of other skin problems. Because olive oil has a naturally lower oxidation rate than your skin’s natural oils, it is a perfect supplement to help keep these oxidation problems at bay while forming an effective barrier, helping to protect your skin from irritants.

Never say ‘Never’!

 

This is a lesson taught to ‘her’ by LIFE and taught to ‘me’ by ‘her’...!

We all have certain likes and dislikes. Most often we have reasons to them and for a few, we can’t really reason out as to why they fall in a certain category. Well, that’s how it is ...It’s something we feel a certain way; we might not have an explanation for...Without pondering on ‘those’ with no reasons, here is a story about this big dislike a girl always had towards something with all the reasons to support this aversion of hers!

Groovy Moments at Ghattikallu…!

“Friends can be said to 'fall in like' with as profound a thud as romantic partners fall in love. ~Letty Cottin Pogrebin

And NATURE, the Mother of all, cradles this relationship called “FRIENDSHIP” at Her best!”

After having lived our emotive moments at the Malpe beach & the St. Mary’s island, we went to Ujire from Udupi in the public bus service. Booked a sumo from there and resumed our travel in the western ghat section post our dinner. We were on our way to Ghattikallu now...A village about 6 hours from Udupi, in the state of Karnataka, India.

Malpe Beach & St. Mary’s Island --> 2 Beauties in Absolute Harmony…!

All I knew was that I was going to visit an island…This impressed me enough to place my first few steps towards the journey. We were 10 of us from Bangalore, met up at the the boarding bus stand at about 10 pm. I knew only one person in the entire group, a lovely friend of mine from school. The rest were all his friends.

Shades of 2010...!!!

2010 sowed a seed of the Plant of Change. I knew I needed a change well deserved! Pulled off all my responsibilities and set my legs off the usual, to live life a better way.

Walk of life through 2010...

This year had in store, all the kind of emotions I could possibly think of…It was a complete package in the sense that it gave me days of boredom, loneliness, and worries and compensated it well with the care, compassion, credit, happiness and fun-filled days, wiping out all that I wouldn’t wish to be close to.

Indian Ocean – As the name, so the band!!

  
Indian Ocean – A music band known for its intensity in its touch of diversified genres, be it Fusion, Indian, Rock, Jazz or Sufi...A contemporary fusion music band whose compositions are a ‘soulful amalgamation of sorts’. At times it is seen glorifying the Indian shlokas, Christian hymns, etc. making an absolutely mesmerizing Indo-rock fusion melody, with an unusual topping of jazz making it totally spectacular!!

I had earlier heard a few, yes very few tracks of theirs but loved them to the very core having a considerably decent understanding towards this heavenly field called music. Knew them only by those few numbers I had heard till then. Their piece of music would pump an amazing level of positive energy within, making me feel great at heart and mind. Their melodies were always my best stress busters!! But back then, little did I know that there was a lot more to what they are and what their extent of passion towards their work of art was...

Tribute to a Friend…A toast to our friendship!!

Day 1 at Trivandrum –
I was there to start the professional front of my life. Reached the venue provided by the firm a day prior. The room was allotted to me and I got busy settling my belongings.
Also, was eager to know who my room-mate would be. I soon learnt who my room-mate was and then, after some introductory chit chat, we both got busy doing what I was otherwise doing all alone, till sometime back.

Rendezvous with the Sunrise…!!!

          It was my Date with Dawn at the Elliot’s beach in Chennai, which also happens to be my last day in Chennai.

Paragliding – A sashay with parachute!!!

            

          It was a bright Sunday morning. My bro and I left for one of his friends place quite early in the morning. Met up with his friend and had a stroll to a common spot where we met up with a few other friends of theirs. Got together with a good chunk and then head towards a nearby breakfast 
point. :)

Journey to Gladiator Season II Finale – Fashion Show!!!

    It was a very usual day at office. Done with the first half of the monotony of my life (read ‘day @ work’), I was heading towards the second half of the monotony (read ‘cook+eat+sleep’)…When on my way, I got a pretty ‘not so comforting’ call…!

    It was a call from one of my colleagues. Nothing for me to really worry about but on having attended the call, my brows remained raised for a few seconds, out of an alarming fact that I was asked to be a part of one of the Fashion Show teams participating in the Gladiator Season II Preliminaries!!! This was news out of nowhere. Gosh!! Fashion Show and ME…!! I remained perplexed for a bit. I couldn’t really be affirmative about this sudden bang, considering the fact that I had never walked the ramp and also sensed that I would be the only outsider (as in out of their technical team) there. To be more precise, I might not know anybody there and this was really not consoling enough. Though it would have been no big a deal otherwise, at that instant it seemed a problem king-size.
