A year just went by...


July 2009… It has been an year of my dear dear Grandma’s departure to the abode of GOD…and I m missing her since day 1…

I had been with her since my birth…and have always experienced her as a power packed personality I must say…

Let me tell you friends…she, I believe, was ahead of her times…times when parents never sent their girls to schools, she studied…times when single mothers couldn’t manage households, she did it with the best upbringing of her kids…times when love marriages where considered not that good, she allowed two successful wedlock in the family…such was her strong, exuberant persona…I bet it’s coz of her we are with the time at least…

On a personal note…I shared a mixed relation with her…some real sweet memories down the lane…I always had kinda small clashes with her…the most annoying thing which she did was watching those daily soaps…and then I played my part of making remarks on each character and the series…which in turn annoyed her…bingo!!!...and the most loving thing was when she cooked something for us when the meal at home was not which I liked…n the best times I had with her was the night…when I slept besides her, holding her and wishing she never went away from me…

Her well-being was something she could put shame to many…I bet at the age of 81 anyone has teeth as strong as she did…but seeing her during the last few days of life…was painful…I was in Mangalore for MEDICON when her condition deteriorated…coming back, the first thing I did was 2 go to her…with the first glimpse of her plight…I couldn’t control but cry…the only memory splashed into my thoughts was that of holding her during nights and never wanting to let her go…and I really wanted her with me…for that support, for that blessings during important events, for those early waking up, for that affection she had for us, kids…

She’s no more now…still I have a very strong feeling…that she’s there with me…hoping for the best for me…showering her blessings from above…and telling the Almighty to take care of her kids…and it’s surely her love that’s keeping and will keep her alive in my heart forever and ever…

Love You DADIMA eternally…

To the Dreams, To the Eternity, To the HIMALAYAS!!

The World is full of adventure and fun. Every new turn we take get ahead as a new challenge. And yes I was talking about life; though even the rikshawallas may come up that way. As the famous saying goes, “Life’s once, enjoy while you can” . So make sure we have our own share of adventure. The message beeped “ What is your crazy dream?” Giving thought for a while, I responded “To go out unperturbed, no bothering, no works and no thoughts on the roads to the Himalayas” “That wasn’t crazy till you mentioned the Himalayas. If you remember you stay in the centre of India and without being disturbed how can like go off for a long long time.” “Wish I could just go.” “In your dreams…” “Yeah! In my dreams…” was the last I could write at 2 am. The next morning, the alarm kept ticking and my eyes felt heavy to be opened. But then there is life, there’s work. I got into the showers and then into the closet and then out in the cab, rushing away to the hospital. Today

Smittened by LOVE!! :)

Usually surrounded by individuals of all kinds… There is this one kind in them that’s special… As they say ‘Someone, somewhere is made for you.’… That special category… I don’t know how many of us have experienced it; The LOVE, is indeed a special feeling… Unknowingly, unseeingly he came into life… equations matched and things sparkled… At the start it was nothing but friendship … Day by day facts remolded… Shorts “hellos” turned into Long talks… every bit of communication enclosed a meaning… simple meanings swiveled to become essence for life… Staying away from the chats became difficult… Meeting him became ‘most important’ in the to-do list… May be that’s just coz I connect to him… or may be that’s because I  like him… but the most beautiful may be is coz I am driven towards him for the special fondness I have for him… I currently stay in this dwindled phase of life where I am unable to reply any ‘WH’ question related… All I know is that there is some force which is impelling the

Love Thy Parents!!!

Plagiarized from a friend’s status on Facebook…”Certain things are best when choreographed naturally”…so true n so genuine…and the best example for this…relation with parents… The day I was born, by default I got my parents…there was no option kept by the Almighty…as in choose between the people…but I guess He knows better who can be comfortable n taken care of by whom…and so this beautiful alliance is a gift to us at birth I guess… MOM n DAD…two best humans on this earth…most lovable n most adorable…every kid has a special place in their heart for these Angels of Solace…and I am no exception to this Golden Rule… They are the inspiration…the way they manage the home and the workplace both together and in sync is something to be looked upon at… They are the motivators…it’s for their sheer support n love that both of us…me n my Bro have been able to be on the road to our dreams… They are the instillers…putting up all good values into us…they have made us able to rise up in lif
