Down the memory lane....

I was just passing by a church this weekend which reminded me of my childhood days. I have spent a year or so in a convent school.  In such a short span of time I have lot of memories attached but few of them are unforgettable. Our regime was fixed for six days of week .Sunday being a holiday used to be different and special. Special because we used to get Non Veg on Sunday. Though I am a chicken and fish lover, I used to eat egg since someone said they used to serve beef in name of chicken. Later I left eating egg also since it used to be quite big in size than normal ones. One day while wandering in the campus we found some ducks and turkeys being reared in one part. So, we figured out the source of eggs. All was not bad we used to get to watch movies on Sunday.VCR was in boys hostel...

Extreme Obsession

There were guest last weekend at our house. Actually, one of our relative had come with his daughter who was appearing for COMED examination which is an common entrance for medical and engineering colleges in Karnataka. She has done her preparation by staying in Kota. During our casual chat she briefed me about the process of preparation that happens when you stay in Kota Students who go to Kota don't attend school for XI  and XII.Their only aim is to concentrate on IIT/AIIMS or colleges in similar category. I was shocked to hear that students just take admissions in colleges and school for namesake and for XII they don't even...

Random writing..

These day I have come across a strange thing in Bangalore which earlier was never there.I have come across lot of eunuchs at traffic signal these days.I guess the ritual of eunuchs visiting your house on the happy occasion of marriage ,child birth etc. will come in short while .I still remember the stories that I grew up listening to when I was in Delhi .People used to say it is a bad omen to say no to any demands these eunuchs   made during the occasions.After lot of negotiations both party the giver and taker will settle down for a decent figure that will make everyone happy .In fact,in Delhi you will come across many of them who are just more than what you say as well to do. I was just wondering that what has made these people to go into such kind of profession and because...

It's time to Change!!!

This is an attempt to write for BlogAdda's new  weekend contest Blue print for change . This is a very sensitive and vast topic to write about .It’s not that we are the only country facing problems but I think as a country we are very weak. We never learn from our mistakes and the worst part is, we have been facing same problems since ages. The country is what its people are .We have been brought up learning to be submissive to situations and habits die hard. A change in a society can be brought when you bring change in your own homes. The change in the nation can be brought only when you being a change in your own thought. We only...

One mistake of Life...

Only two things can keep me going in life..One my work and other Vishnu. Both of these have been an eternal part of my life and I cannot live without any one of them. Recent promotion at work has created a drift in our relationship. But, I know, it is not something that can affect our love and understanding of 17 years. Vishnu has been my school time love .We have been together since the times when we shared our lunch boxes to assignments .His love has no measure .During our engineering days, there have been times, when, i could not complete my assignment and it was Vishnu who used to submit his assignment on my behalf aware of the consequences...
