What colour is the Rain water?

 Its probably first or second year of my school life, I distinctly remember teacher asking the question to the whole class room. What colour is the rain water? There goes my hand immediately up in  the air, Once teacher picked me,I say 'Orange!', The whole class went into laughter to my surprise, I am pretty sure the last time i saw it was orange.The teacher replied you shouldn't see the water thats's already touched the ground or roof, you should see the untouched rain straight from sky. The teacher is correct, I saw these tiny drops of water from our thatched house roofed with the dried palm leaves. Probably it become old and brittle which could have contributed to the colour of the rain water. But when i think of that moment, monsoon season, cloudy skies, here i am sitting in the so called 'thinnai' - a little mud bench at the side of the entrance of my hut house sitting on top of the hen coup, playing with drops of 'orange' rain water drops. My aaya ...

It’s Aug 2019 and it has been ages since my last blog. What ever I gone through so far in my life I could just say this ‘it’s not fun growing up :) ‘. Heart longs for the past , yester years, mind clings to the old happy memories . Yesterday definitely feels happier than today. Life is all about perspectives , no problem is a small problem and   We realize it’s a smaller problem only after facing a bigger problem so the cycle of problem and worry continues.Better get your perspectives early.        But problems and worries  can’t be the reason why we are created, I am sure there is more to us than being a bean bag of worries  after all we have just one life at least that we know of. .By default we deserve  to be happy and should rejoice our existence, content with what we are and what we have. But I am pretty sure that we live our lives other way around,Where did we go wrong?       Well it’s plain and simple, we don’t live our li...

Happy New Year

         Happy New year 2016. Its kind of awkward as I kind of want to write every now and then but never sock up to do it. Lets see how thing turn around this new year.           I recently watched the movie '12 dates of Christmas' it's a funky movie where the lead characters so badly wants to get back her x at the same time meeting blind dates. While purchasing a gift on Christmas Eve, she falls unconscious but spring back almost immediately but she bungles that night, her dates don't go well as she would want to. But at midnight her clock resets to to the time she fell unconscious and presents her with the opportunity to fix her life. The clock resets 12 times until she finally fixes it.         Not the greatest movie of all time but If we think laterally, The above story has some similarity with our every day lives. Life presents us with same set of problems every day until we face it and fix it. May be w...

A close encounter with Rajinikanth

I am not a fan of any movie stars but what happened on a one fine morning made me to reset the thought process. I am from a small village near Rajnikanth's farm house in kelambakkam.one early morning may be around 6 am,I was waiting in the bus stop.then came a white ford ikon the rear window was open and I got a glimpse of some one like Rajini. I thought I am lucky and stood my ground,the car stopped in front of the farm gate, as there was none at the gate to open,the driver jumped out and climbed the gate to call the watch man. Now I was tempted to go close by I ran to the car . Now the rear windows are closed. Now I was not sure if it is Rajini in the car, off course I did not dare to go closer.without much idea I was just standing,after few mins the driver came up with the watchman,the gates are opened and the driver took the car, as soon as the car started moving,I was just watching the car, In a flash the rear window was pulled down and there came the super star...

IPhone 4 - the worst apple phone yet

I am a great fan of Apple products.Their superior quality and innovative technology is just out of todays world. After my initial draw towards Apple by IPod shuffle,I was amazed with what they can do with IPhone 3g and became an die hard unpaid Iphone brand ambassador.If there is an argument against Apple I would be the first one to appear as a public prosecutor.There was no fear to live the truth. After 2 years then came IPhone 4.I was one amongst many apple fans who saw it live when IPhone 4 was introduced.I was in tears looking at the new features and the impressive way Steve Jobs introduced his Gadget.I fell prey. It was my birthday and no better gift would suffice other than an IPhone 4.I burned my midnight oil to pre order one.I was awake almost the whole night ,the last time i did so was for my board exams.I did not realize then the results would be the same on both the occasions. Although I was not successful at pre order,I did not fail to order one standing in the que...

Fiziks Classes..............

Physics has always been a special subject for me , some how I always managed to score better than the other subjects,but I hardly got any appreciation in the class room or it was not possible to get one.... In an attempt to get in to the teachers note book ,l started being the teachers companion in the class room I kept nodding to what ever she teaches I found the rest of the people in the class bury their heads in to the text book.The signs looked great ,I thought I am almost there.. One morning at the physics class I was in a semi sleep mode,I tried my best to stay alive. Although I was not listening I never let down nodding,Unexpectedly the physics teacher threw a question to some one in the class for he was not paying attention,as expected he was not able to answer, after blowing few curses she asked him to listen and tragically turned towards me and asked me "can you tell him the answer?" ..I was not expecting that...I st...

This short film touched my heart,It touchingly narrated the pain one undergoes after they know the...
