Aham Brahmasmi… That’s how I see myself…
I thought I was happy. I thought my life was perfect. I thought I would have all the fun. I thought I would never lose anyone… until I lost all my belief. Yes… life stole away from me two lives..
I had joined my office in May and the very next day, my granddad fell ill. Not tat he was extremely fit. He was suffering from parkinson for 72 years! He communicated jaundice and right in front of my eyes… he went kaput. When I was barely five, he stealthily wrote my homework’s for me, picked me up from my school, told me… paal vandachu, coffee kudikalam… he was very possessive about me. He used to say.. “she’s my pethi. I won’t let anyone else touch her.” Tat was his standard dialogue. And I used to feel proud. He taught me slokams and narrated bed time stories. We had our own carom tournaments, with our own special rules. When amma appa got transferred to another city, taatha paati were my guardian. He signed my report cards, wrote leave letters when I didn’t feel like going to school and he even attended PTA meetings for me. Damn me.. I cant even figure a sentence when am talking about him and I call myself a journalist! He was very special. We had our own secrets. I told him how I used to have head bath every morning without telling amma appa or paati… tat was few days ago his death! And till date, it remains a secret…..
I couldn’t bring myself to face the reality. When his body was brought in an ice box, I kept staring at his legs and eyes.. praying silently tat he would signal to me tat he s still alive. But of course, that never happened.
And then, exactly after 6 months, I lost my attimber. To tell you the truth, I was scared of him. He had a thick moustache and I thought he was very strict. I used to hardly open my mouth when I was with him. But things changed this august. My mom literally had to pull me away from him… he was my sole companion. We kept going yak yak all the time. It was raining heavily then and I couldn’t go for this sight seeing thingy… He kept insisting that I must visit Bombay when it isn’t raining and tat he would take me out… and I went again this November… to take him to his abode. He left me stranded… and yes.. it didn’t rain this time in Bombay.
This blog wil have an account of my (unfathomable) thoughts and (veti) feelings, reduced to mere words. This is my personal space where I can rant, complain and pat myself on my back for things I've done and feel proud about, and that I haven't and still feel proud about! However, standard disclaimer still holds good: No offence is meant to anyone living, dead, or those who are in their ghostly/ghastly spiritual form!

After a long time, am telling you my life is perfect.. well sort of. I mean, am employed with the times group in chennai.. office is just 30 min drive(without traffic.. tat s d catch), my collgs r just great.. i mean.. how would ur boss(editor in my case) react if u walk into d meeting hall with pen in ur mouth, notepad under ur chin, mobile in one hand and coffee cup in d other? but m boss says... childishness in its extreme! he thinks he would have been sued for employing me.. coz i was just 19 some 3 months ago wen i joined. others feel d same! some say am a bundle of energy... others say am akid. but everyone agree tat am a jam baby!(i dont mind coz dravid is also a jammy) and tat am a chatterbox.. tat i agree with. i mean.. i cant keep my mouth shut.

i even stopped gulping down packets of sugar...and i stil have my jap mala... i wear them secretly..(gosh.. it is not a secret anymore)... and i also have this secret fascination abt this.. ummm.. these 3 guys.. ok. make it 4... ya.. so am perfectly normal.. and am more like a girl who is 20-yr-old... with a perfect life...
and lets see... i still crave for coffee... and chocolate... and still coffee without sugar.. is still ahte morning rains... and afternoon sun...

Moksha- No Revival
There's no doubt about it: A quick-thinking person like you leaves no stone unturned and wastes no time solving any mystery that comes your way. Whether you're finding the fastest route to work, spotting online scams, or thinking up the perfect plan to escape a bad date, when it comes to using your noggin, you're definitely in first place.
Of course you aren't just book smart. You're also streetwise and savvy, especially when it comes to the things that are most important to you. With that deadly combo of creativity and logic, your brains are the only muscle you'll ever need when tackling even the biggest of problems. Just don't let all that talent go to your head!
