Trip to Palaruvi Waterfalls in Kerala

Personal

Just came back from another memorable trip to Kerala. The trip was oriented towards visits to a few temples and religious places. In the otherwise hectic schedule, we were able to take some time out to visit the Palaruvi waterfalls near Kollam. This is a tourist destination and is about 75 Kms South of Kollam District.

The best poem I ever read

Poetries & Poems

This is a poem written by some anonymous person on the effects of drinking and driving. There could have been many such instances that we might not even have known. But the pain that the person who has suffered that loss is going through would be un-imaginable. For all those who drink and drive, let this poem be an eye-opener.

I went to a party Mom,
I remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, Mom,
So I drank soda instead.

I really felt proud inside, Mom,
The way you said I would.
I didn’t drink and drive, Mom,
Even though the others said I should.

I am Satisfied

Motivation

What is satisfaction? Why is it that we are not able to be satisfied with whatever I do?’, ‘It was an autumn after I passed out of my professional college and I was frustrated with being jobless. I felt I had enough qualifications to get a good job but, there I was hopping companies in search of a job. Nothing was working out. Finally I went in for an interview to a home cleaning job and I got it. I knew that the package was extremely good just because the job was dirty. But I had no choice.

The hullaboo of terror

Awareness

What is all this hullaboo about who, rather which caste should be stamped the terrorist outfit? A discussion on whether this it is right to attach terrorism to a particular caste is imperative.

A couple of blast across the country in the span of a few days and a few news channels flashing out some emails that were received from some self-proclaimed terrorist outfit called the Indian Mujahideen, and suddenly all daggers were pulled out on the Muslims. Add to this a shootout at one of the Muslim dominated part of the capital and the masala was ready. Self-proclaimed well-wishers of the Muslims and their counterparts from the Hindus then had an agenda – an agenda for elections, an agenda for rallies and an agenda for disruption of work and destruction of public property.

An Onam in Kerala

Nostalgia

It was 12th of September 2008. A day I can never forget. I was born a Keralite but had always lived in North India since birth. My upbringing was in various parts of North India and it is not uncommon for people from a state migrating to a different state in search of jobs, to forget their hometown and the culture that their basic caste followed and practiced. It was not different with me either, and I knew my culture only to the extent it was practiced in my house. Though my parents ensured that they inculcate all of these into me, we often found that we had to compromise on lot of things because something that was practiced in our culture was done differently in the culture that I was living in. But no regrets, because I feel that is where diversity comes in and diversity is what we Indians are know for.

The Choice of buying online

Ideas

The internet is one of the most preferred modes of shopping. Online shopping has its advantages and disadvantages. A peek into what online shopping is all about.

When I say online shopping the first thing anyone would visualize is an online shopping cart where you pay with your credit card or, PayPal and wait for the product to be delivered at your door-steps. But is online shopping all about this? No, that is not all. There are quite a few things to online shopping.
What is the choice you have today if you wish to search for online stores that sell your favorite product? Google – You said it. But is Google a reliable source. I would not want to say so, because Google advertises for a charge and paid advertising is not always reliable. So what is the alternative?

The Companionship of the Music Box

Nostalgia

As I spent my summer vacation this time in my native home, I was digging through the many wealth in the store room of the house to find things that were of my interest. I suddenly stumbled upon a huge box of the size of about 2 feet. As I cleaned the dust of it, I discovered that it was a radio. I couldn’t have left it there because the memories attached with that radio was much more that with anything else that I could find.

I am Casino freak

Referrals

I must confess that I am a casino freak. Casinos have become an interesting way of spending some quality time on the internet.

Casinos were a big no-no till about a few days back for me. In one of my posts earlier I had written how an hour spent in one of the online casinos changed my perspective towards them. A lot has changed since then.

I Joined PETA..

I received this forwarded email a couple of days back. As my habit is, I would have just deleted the email, just because it had a “Fwd:” in the subject and I knew it was one of those chain emails that I hate to spend time reading. Just that one word in the subject caught my attention and I opened the email. The word was “PETA”. I knew it would be carrying some information.

My Favorite Poems

Ode to the West Wind

This is one of the best poems written by P.B.Shelley. His description of the nature and the evening in this poem is beautiful.’, ‘

I

O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn”s being,
Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead
Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing,

Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red,
Pestilence-stricken multitudes: O thou,
Who chariotest to their dark wintry bed

The winged seeds, where they lie cold and low,
Each like a corpse within its grave, until
Thine azure sister of the Spring shall blow

My Favorite Poems

On a Poet’s Lips I Slept

P.B.Shelley has been one of my alltime favorite poets. His poems carried a touching meaning in it and was an easy read and understand. “On a Poet”s Lips I Slept” he talks about how a poet gives birth to his creations from nothing.’, ‘On a poet”s lips I slept
Dreaming like a love-adept
In the sound his breathing kept;
Nor seeks nor finds he mortal blisses,
But feeds on the aerial kisses
Of shapes that haunt thought”s wildernesses.
He will watch from dawn to gloom
The lake-reflected sun illume
The yellow bees in the ivy-bloom,
Nor heed nor see what things they be;
But from these create he can
Forms more real than living man,
Nurslings of immortality!
One of these awakened me,
And I sped to succour thee.
