It is 2010 now. 2 years since my last blog entry. Life has changed so much for me. I am now married and living far far away on the other side of the globe. I am in the United States of America. I was lucky to find a wonderful group of friends here, wonderful enough to make my birthday this year truly wonderful! (If you are wondering 'Why the overdose of wonderful?'. Well, it is because '

A really tiny frog that entered my house one night. I've never before seen such a tiny one.

I saw 2 amazing movies....The Secret and What the Bleep Do we Know?Simply great. They have explanations to so many things happening in our lives....very different movies. Something everybody must watch....very scientifically explained detailed documentary with an interesting presentation style to keep the audience engrossed.What the Bleep....may seem a little offensive to some, but its stating

I was so fascinated with the clouds on my way back from Tiruvanamalai that I simply went on clicking until my battery died. Here are some of them.Took these from inside the car. Wasn't allowed to put the window glass down so you can see a reflection.The clouds...they look like soft white cotton candy.

We were awarded 'BEST COLOUR COMBINATION' in the athapoo competetion held during the College Onam Festival Competitions.Athapoo is a design done on the ground using different coloured flowers....stunning designs are created with flowers! Its an integral part of the Onam festival of Kerala.

1.There is no use hating other people...you are simply torturing yourself, the people that you hate are least affected! Hating is basically....self destructive, more than anything else...at the end of the day you are drained and everybody else is happy.2.Auto rickshaws have poster in them..most rickshaws. I happened to come across a really good one which said...'A Year From Now, You Will

HAPPY NEW YEAR everybody! This one is about my nephew's very first theater experience. He just turned one year old on the 20th of December. Well, we had all gone to see 'Tanmatra', (Mohanlal movie, directed by Blessy...very good) yesterday because it was new year and all. We had this big bag with us, my nephew's emergency pack...diapers, feeding bottle, clothes, napkins, you name it and it is

Now, I was wondering, how important is it to know your mother tongue? I mean, if you are living in a place different from your native place and the language spoken there is not your mother tongue then what difference does it make wether you know your mother tongue or not?I have seen people getting teased for not knowing Malayalam...but why must we expect them to know it when they have been living

I had a really fantastic diwali...! The started off with a family breakfast at my aunt's place. Every year we have breakfast at her place for Diwali....I simply love it and I also got to have gulab jamuns after a very long time. Wow! Went out for dinner again with family members and it was great. Well, basically spending time with family is always great..! Then we all came home to burst crackers.

Its been a really long time since I came to Blogger....I simply ran out of things to say....didn't know what to write...Well, since I am here anyway...let me wish everybody a VERY HAPPY DIWALI!!I just saw the news report on tv that said New York has added Diwali to its list of public holidays...They have this law that, cars can't be parked on both sides of a road because that obstructs the path

Well, actually I think why sorrow is more important than happiness is because our greatest achievements arise from sorrow, fustration and a sense of wanting.I mean, when you are happy there is no desire for more...you are content. Complacency of sorts sets in..But when you are sad, you want to come out of that sadness...there is a feverish wanting...wanting to achieve something...to do something

Even Om Puri's narration was great...his voice suited the story narration beautfully.Wow, it really makes me feel so....to think that there was a Mangal in India.

I was just wondering...why is it that only depression, suffering and the likes, that are so promoted and appreciated by people.Agreed, everybody says, be happy, smile etc etc...but when it comes to awards...book awards, film awards, awards for art...even fancy dress awards, are all given to not the best portrayal of happiness or joy but to that of pain and suffering....why so?The most melancholy,

Your wise quote is: "Our greatest glory is notin never falling, but in rising everytime wefall" by Confucius.Yes indeed, you see true strenght can only beseen when a person has "fallen". Onlythen one can tell how they will handle it. Justdon't make others fall so you can know who theyreally are. You on the other hand may be a veryquick recoverer and don't let people bring youdown.

Yeah, I've been around the world. Started life in Bombay (Mumbai), then in Dubai and then landed in Trivandrum.Was in Bombay till the age of six, then was one year in Dubai. Used to keep going to Dubai for my summer holidays though, because my dad was still there.In the past 19 years I have visited so many foreign countries...from the US to Amsterdam to Singapore....I haven't visited too many

Anniyan was one entertaining movie! I saw it twice....enjoyed myself twice!The story is similar to a Sidney Sheldon book (Tell me your dreams) which is one of my favourites. I had my doubts about watching the movie because I don't understand tamil too well. I hardly ever watch Tamil movies...but considering the hype that this movie had created I was curious. I was able to understand very well!

Looking for a few minutes of heart racing, adrenalin pumping, extreme adventure? Then simply board one of Kerala's very own private buses. Excitement for 3 rupees (well the rate solely depends on your endurance...that is where you want to get off, of course..)They are so crowded, there is hardly any place to stand, let alone sit...the best example of survival of the fittest.

I saw a most spectacular performance today....Lakshmi Gopalaswamy, depicted the climax of Othello with the help of Indian classical dance forms. It was most certainly a visual delight. The way the dream sequences were shown was truly innovative....the background score was fantastic too. Today I got to see a slice of how beautiful Kerala's very own dance form Kathakali is. The grace, the movements
