Good Byes!

It was late in afternoon and the railway station was flocked with people boarding and departing their trains.

"Thank God" he screamed. We are on time.
"Come on now, run!!,we need to get to the coach as soon as possible".

For past 2 hours we were trying against all odds to reach the Central station and board the Mail.

He went ahead of me with the luggage. It was hard trying to keep up with him. As I tried to run behind him, I knew something was not right. There was an uneasiness in my body and my mind.

Inside the Bubble

In response to The Daily Post's writing prompt: "Inside the Bubble."

A month for me,just by me and only with me :)

Lets see,I would definitely pack a book or two.Not more.The ones which I always wanted to read,but never had that urge to read ;)!

I would also pack a few of art /craft works that I would love to complete

Ahh..then there is my ultra secret dream project which is in my head and a month of clutter free time would help me to finally piece my ideas together.

How can I forget Sleep ? I would sleep like a log if I get such a golden chance.Thanks to my lil 'N' :D

Now if I get to cook,I would definitely have a different menu for dinner everyday!

Well,it would great if I had access only to a basic phone to call me dear ones and if there is a view to wake upto :)

Bliss!

My Favourite Book Series ?

Well,much to my surprise and dismay,I realise that I have never read a complete book series !!! :D

Yes,not even the famous Harry Potter Series :)

A book that I have read for more than 3 times..

Well,there are many books which I have read,re-read for more than three times.Then there is,

Randamoozham

Randamoozham

which I can keep on reading for any number of times :)

This book is a masterpiece.

Its one of a kind.

And this is the besets book I have ever read! :)

The guts to retell the story of "Mahabharata" which practically every one in this country grew up hearing and to be able to convince or at least put in doubt, almost everyone that his version is truer,that is simply the sheer brilliance of the M.T.

Giving a twist,Bheema becomes the protagonist in this story and the entire tale is told from his perspective.It includes his  joys, sadness, frustrations,vengeance.

Best book I read last year!

Undoubtedly it is "Chaos: Making a New Science by James Gleick".

Chaos_Gleick_OReB

I bought this book on a whim during an annual sale of books @amazon.Even though the book was of the genre which I would never have thought of reading :),I certainly did not make any mistake in picking this up!

This book has definitely led me to find a pattern in everything that is chaotic.I was hooked onto this little devil right from the start and each chapter is packed with such information,that I admit James Gleick  has done a marvellous job in giving me an introduction to The Chaos Theory!.

30 Day Book Challenge!

30day

I am so very happy to finally dive into this 30 Day Book Challenge,telling all about my favourite books,characters,authors :) in my favourite place!!

Decisions,Decisions

In response to The Daily Post's writing prompt: "Decisions, Decisions."

This prompt made me think real hard on how I make decisions...

Err..not just "life changing ones" but also the small ones like waking up at certain hour..or whether to eat or not to eat that yummy snack right in front of me...or may be what I want to wear to office.

Uff,I think...making and keeping decisions is unknowingly taking up a huge chunk of my time!!

I believe most of my decisions are not throughly thought through or can it be that I am just unable to keep up with them ??

Many of the times when I take a decision I think through it both pros and cons.Then make a very very detailed plan which does take up a huge amount of time but only to abandon the decision and its consequences all together in just few days / hours / minutes.This is happening even if i start obtaining the results I want.Sigh!! The vicious cycle follows!

At other times I just choose randomly..like a thoughtless process..No..no,it does not involve any gut feelings :P

And almost every other time,I simply follow the instructions given by dear ones.I just ask my mom,what should I wear to office,she suggests something which I simply do it without bothering.Then sometimes I ask my dad if I should actualy eat that yummy snack..he says "Why not ?" There I go!!

Hmmm,may be this is what making me lazy and unproductive in decision making?

Ouch,this hurts!!!
