Break
A break from work, that too for three weeks in your home country is what any professional would dream for. I was lucky that i got my leave approved this time. The vacation is almost coming to an end, but i should say that i already feel that i have had a gala time here. Attending marriages, meeting friends, shopping, being pampered by parents and relatives, spending quality time with family was what i have been doing.

Terror - Its the capital this time
Delhi blasts makes me wonder how vulnerable India is when it comes to terrorist attacks. Looks like the governement does not have a clue of how to tackle this. It is indeed very hard to curb terrorism when it has its roots within the country. Even this time (after Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Hyderabad, Bangalore), the Indian mujahideen group have claimed responsibility. In their email, they have now threatened to target Mumbai. It is really difficult to comprehend what these millitants are trying achieve by creating panic among innocent people. wat the heck is UPA doing??

Senthil Natarajan - senthil

Do we have a say?

Deepa: Hey Nickil, i was bought up in a family of 3 kids, just like my parents. I really want to have three kids.

Nickil: look, we are struggling to meet our expenses. We should be very careful here, coz i want our kids to have the best education, best of everything ...

Deepa: that is not fair Nickil, and she explains her stance.

Few years pass by...

Nikil is looking very tensed as he is waiting in the hospital. Alongside Nickil were his two kids, Dhruv and Deepthi. Deepa was admitted to the hospital for the delivery of their 3rd child.

They ended up having four kids. Yes, they had twins. This only added color and charm to their lives.

Thirukkural

I have become a great fan of thiruvalluvar. Its Amazing how he discusses things and puts across the message (the problem is .. most people dont understand) in two lines. I have been reading a few thirukkurals on the net and i am enjoying them. There are even english translations for each and every kural.

I love this kural..

Anjuvadhu anjamai pedhamai anjuvadhu

I was wondering what was wrong with my previous post. Only a part of the post appears on the page, but if u refresh the page ... a real magic happens --> u can find the second para.

Dodged a doggy

I was listening to music while i was waiting for the tram. Without my knowing i was walking back in slow motion.I could hear someone panting and turned back. There was this huge dog lying there as if it was saying "this is my territory, get back!!". I was like Ooops, i almost stepped on the dog`s feet there. Now i was in a position i cud not even run, that wud have been a terrible mistake & i knew that. I was really scared at this moment. I said to myself "Take it easy mate, cool down".

I pretended as if nothing happened, and slowly (very slow) moved towards the tram stop. I was very lucky coz the dog did not bother too much (may be it just had food and was too lazy).
