Appreciate what we have

What is it that makes us value things lowly when they are available in abundance? The usage of the word local colloquially is always is derisive and not reflecting good upon. Someone who is always available is quite always taken for granted. Why is the mere fact of being available more makes it unattractive for a person?

It has turned out to be fruitful day. I missed this so much! The riding of the motorbike, the ponds, the lakes, marshland, the beach, the deep blue sky, that gentle sound which is a honey to the ear, Tamil. Never have I been happy to be swarmed by a group of Auto/Taxi guys who tries to rip you off in Tamil.

I went through so many ecstatic moments today. Case in point being when I was riding along the Maraimalai Adigalar Bridge and I saw the clouds and the bright blue. I was in tears. Another moment where I noticed the lake in the backdrop of the Mountain in the Pallavaram periya eri. The line of buildings on the end of the marshland or rather on the marshland was a sight to savour. It was such a relief  to ride the bike and not have my destiny being driven by anyone but me. The sunset at the Chitalapakkam eri was the icing on the cake. Here we have such a beautiful place at your doorstep, yet you dont marvel it. You are busy looking at some other photograph of the place which is far away and not reachable. We are never happy with what we have got. Why is it that to enjoy a thing it has to be the best ever? It can be comparatively mediocre, yet you may like it and appreciate the beauty of it.

My Tryst with God

Image
Does God exist? this question has been lurking me for a long time. Since i was  born and brought up in a religious brahmin family my tryst with God had begun ever since i stepped onto this world. First thing i was taught was to fold my hands and pray. Everyone has two religions. One they are born into, another that they follow after growing up. Sadly most of the hindu customs are pretty much outta this world and higly symbolic. I was neither religious nor an atheist , but somewhere between the two. 19 is probably not the age for thinking about this. I was thinking about my teenage when was a tween and now my salvation. Pinjiliye pazhuthadhu as one would call in Tamil. This was when i started to search why i am here? Is there any being called GOD? Again it brings to Venkey and Mankey Venkey: Finally i found it! Mankey : Found what? Your non-existent brain Venkey : No stupid, the truth behind God. Mankey: Hahahaha what truth? You found the ornament worn by Rama and lipstic

The Great Mad-ras University Results Saga

Image
Guys i am back with another installment of the Mad-ras university leelais. You may ask what is so great about MU results. Yeah it's great with the precision they keep up in announcing the results. They are so!! on time they always announce a date and deliver the results exactly a month after that date. Can it get any greater than this. I was disappointed with their punctuality last time the one month tripled i got the results weeks before my next semester. Formula for calculating result date: Result date =1000 * (R.D+ 31 days or one month which ever is less) /1ooo R.D = first rumoured date. ( BTW the mutiplied by 1000 and divide by 1000 is just a gimmick to make it more complicated) Talking about the results of the semester i wrote this May they have not delivered yet, obviously considering MU standards. The other day i had an argument with one of my professors about this. Not like i do this once in a blue moon, i do this often. My professor was talking about discontinuing one

A train Journey from Mambalam to Meenambakkam. Part 1

Image
Off late i have been reading a few travel blogs, this is my honest attempt at writing a travelogue. Since you all know my idea of vacation is very dumb  ;) . So this what i've got for you " A train Journey from Mambalam to Meenambakkam." to my college. Image courtesy :  http://www.irfca.org When i visited the Mambalam station on the first day of my college, little did i know about trains, i got into the wrong train only to get back down. First few days were really interesting, watching the sights whizz past me. I prefer standing on the foot board that faces the opposite side of the platform, feeling the wind on my face.  Vehicle Parking Stand aka Vettaiyadu Vilayaadu stand My journey starts at Mambalam station where I park at a place which resembles the place where the Psycopaths bury their kills in Vettaiyadu Vilayadu (tamil movie), near that that creepy banyan. On rainy days the place becomes a swamp. Now you know why I don't want it to rain when I am on my way home
