Roads

Frost talks about the Road Not Taken. I am here to talk about the road I took. If you ask me whether I reached somewhere travelling on this particular road, well, not yet. The journey through a specific road, no matter what it is , is always a suspense. You never know what is in reserve for you at the end.

The journey may be either very smooth or with all kinds of hurdles. People say, if the journey is difficult the climax would be favourable. Not necessarily. People strive to travel in a particular road an yet they fail to get what they expect.

Now , you may think that I lost what I expected by travelling on this road. well. I dont really reached the destination to give such an answer. But its true that I strive to travel on this road, and I am trying hard to get the best out of it. After all, this is one road which I never expected to take, but eventually I took. Now, its inevitable for me to get the best out of it.

Valentine's Day

Valentine's day never meant a thing in my life.

The experience of being loved is something very precious. Time and again I realized its necessary that someone has to be there not just to love back, but to experience every single moment of this precious life

many people may think the life to be a futile one. But its lucky for me that I am born in this form and exist so. that makes the reality even more valuable.

I came to know about many people these days who actually look forward for this day. For some its their first Valentine's day after their child birth, for some this is an occasion to wipe out all the misunderstandings with a smile or a kiss and to say "Be MY Valentine". Interestingly these are all married people.

And there are again people who would never like to have this day in their life,as it would give nothing but pain. well, there comes another thought which is very common. Is there a need for such a day to realize and express your love?

Why not? if that is to bring happiness to you, why not give one day of your life to the thought of being loved and to love.

Now that I start writing something here I really would look forward what life has in reserve for me on such a day, what my true Valentine would do to make my world dance! Most importantly, Will the world dance for me?

Alma Mater 5th Dec 2008

I have always been lucky to be in the best places to study even though i am not that a topper in the classes....This happened when I made my revolutionary decision of taking literature as my subject for graduation.But I realized soonthat its the most appropriate decision that i ever made in my life.
Ivanios has always been a dream for me.A place where I just dreamt to be and never thought would be a part of...But then the day came when I finally got admission there after all the melodrama of getting and losing it ....Its also my another resolution to study only in merit seat which got fulfilled.....Three years of living in the dream...its now a golden time that I long to get back..Alas!!! Why cant the time just rewind as its in the films???
After getting into another prestigious institution for my post graduation,I could meet my teachers after 3 months.....I was pretty sad that i could never find out time and go there and be in my evergreen days of fun....but then when our classmates who moved to Hyderabad cam for their vacation, we finally found time to go there...I found one of our classmates waiting for us at the gate...the moment i found her ...it was exactly the same as to get your long lost treasure back....
We walked all through the road that leads to our department.....it all changed....

i found a very old tharavadu being renovated to an ultra modern mansion.
We walked through every corner of our college.....met many teachers whom we love sometimes more that our parents....spent time sitting at the canteen ...sharing the canteen lunch which is as always the untearable parotta...and the rice....but it tasted so delicious......all the good old days were brought to us...the free hours that were spent chattering ,fighting laughing crying ....all under the old "punnamaram"...our "pancharamukku".....which now is almost deserted....
My heart leaped to be there the whole day....have all my friends around me....and just my dream to be true once again for at least a second.......We walked down the steps which wont call us back to the old classrooms,the old library,the old department and the old pancharamukku.........
But...its always a truth...time which passed is lost....nothing can bring back the moments that are lost.....no matter where I go what Ii do in my life the dream that I lived would be the most treasured as a handful of memories......my memories of the Alma mater....

The Preface

Hi all,

Creating a blog of my own is something which i never wanted to do; atleast for the time being. Since I am very confident about my writing skills and the aesthatics and humour in it, the idea of a personal blog never strike me.

My association with Uniy 4 years back, introduced me to the new world of blogging. It was the fascination towards the kind of writing that i could find in the Uniy blog, that made me look into other blogs also.

Being a tech-dump, I never bothered to find out the way in which this Magic Wall is created. Then came the next most important step towards the communication world. Social Networking and most importantly Institute of English and Dr. Jayasree. Her idea to start up a blog for our class sounded a good idea for me and with all the help and support from my sister who is an Engineer, I took up the task and created one. It was hard for me and some of my other classmates, especially Sulfia, to pester and persuade students to write on that blog. In the second semester,this blog almost met with its slow death. thus came the idea of including teachers, 2nd MA students, old students, everyone whom I could get hold of and those who had some relation with Insti to join the blog.

Interestingly,many people joined and we actually have a good update in the blog compared to what we had earlier.Its this intiative that made me think and write about events and experiences that i meet with. Though I dont write much, moderating and regulating a department's blog made me think of starting one of my own. Adding sugar to the sweet, some of my dear ones persuaded me to start blogging for my own and share experiences with the folks through a "Magic Wall" of my own.This is a starter, a preface to the story. with all blessings and wishes from u guys here I am going to start.

IronicallyI stop this post here. A small pause , for a better start....

"Good-night, good-night! Parting is such sweet sorrow

That I shall say good-night till it be morrow."
