Wait.........


Its been a long time, he had been waiting for a reply from her. His mind tells him that she loves him, but the other mind always goes on and starts creating doubt in him, does she really loves him? If she does, she would have answered his question.


It started almost 5 years back, when both were doing their graduation from the same college. It didn't just start in one day. They became friends, then good friends, then became very good friends. But he always liked her more than a friend and wondered whether she also felt the same?

It didn't take long  for her to understand, and one fine evening he shared his feelings. But she didn't respond, kept mum, infact tried to ignore him which hurt him a lot. So in order to prevent the relation from breaking, he backed off and pretended to be normal as if there was nothing in his heart. But he knew, deep down inside him, he loved her and cannot change that feeling for her.

Time flew by, and they both graduated, took different paths in life and carried on.

After few months she told him, she is with somebody, and that shattered him, his heart started to weep, but he never let her knew this. He congratulated her and she happily moved on without realizing how much he loved her. He always stood there waiting for her, but she didn't notice and his Wait is still continuing.

He tried to bury his feelings for her, but couldn't, as she was his first love and he just couldn't take her out of his heart. So he kept her thoughts deep inside him preserving all the memories he had. And as time went by, she lost touch with him and he wondered whether he should call her up and enquire about her? But he didn't because he knew he will not be able to hide his feelings and he didn't want her to know that he still loves her.

Couple of years passed by, he cherished those old momories, and last he heard was she went abroad to pursue her Post Graduation and also learnt that she broke up. This gave him a mixed feeling, was sad to hear she broke up but it also made him feel good about it. They started talking again, the Time Zone diference never bothered him, as he always loved to talk to her. The feelings which were deep inside him again started flourshing. He was happy, and one day he shared all his feelings with her, all untold things were told, and here he was again waiting for her reply. She kept mum, but didn't turn away like before, instead, respected his feelings.

He always beleived 'True Love Waits', and so he is, waiting, for 5 long years.But he is still unsure, are the things about to repeat itself again of will it be a new begining for him or will he be kept waited?

This just happen to come to my mind while I was alone doing nothing in my apartment.

These are just my thoughts, nothing to do with anybody.

VISHU - വിഷു





Vishu marks the first day of the month Medam of Malayalam Year.

Although the calendar year is changed in the month of Chingam - which marks the festival Onam.

Vishu, which means 'equal' in Sanskrit, is the harvest festival of Kerala, and is celebrated in a very grand manner.

The day starts with the Vishukanni, followed by Vishu Kaineetan, crackers or Vishu Padakam, loads of masti and then the Vishu sadhya, yummmmyyyyyyy.

Vishukanni is generally made by the elderly lady of the house, and is believed that the entire year should be as prosperous as the VishuKanni. Kanni is generally set with the photo of Krishna in the middle and with deepams lighting, along with many traditional things with Konnapoo being the most important one.

After the VishuKanni, elder people give Kaineetam to the young ones, generally in the form of rupees. This is followed by the fire works i.e. VishuPadakam. Also new clothes are weared on this auspicious day and it is called as VishuKodi.

Then, in the afternoon the lunch is served and is termed as VishuSadhya, where traditional Keralite food is made and serevd in a Banana leaf.

I wish everybody a Very Happy Vishu (Vishuashamsakal - വിഷു ആശംസകള്‍).
May this year be as prosperous as the VishuKanni.

Break The Rules!!!!!


RULE - a regulation, a guideline, have always binded ones life. Since the very childhood memories, one can remember, we always live our lives sticking to rules. Rules set by parents, rules set by society and some we don't know who, but they always exists.

Right from the early school days we are told to abide by the school rules. Rules like, we should not laugh loudly, should not talk loudly, will they implant a silencer in my throat to cut down my voice. If a child is loud in expressing himself, he should have the freedom to express himself the way he want. And if the rules are not followed we are marked as B or C grade students.
Cmon its time to Break The Rules set by the School!!!!!
Our society is not far behind. They will have hundereds of crappy rules set, and its really hard to believe majority of them follows them. The worst part is these rules vary from society to society, like people living in middle class locality will have different rules than to those of the higher class. If a guy is talking for long over his mobile phone, immediately people will start making gossips about them, and these can be best seen, where people rent out their homes for clg or IT guys. If one comes home a bit late on friday, its considered to be a taboo in the society. It really doesn't make any sense why people have any objections about this. Specially the aunties of the house. And if we dont follow the rules, we are being treated as the irresponsible people of the society.
Cmon its time to Break The Rules set by the Society!!!!!
The so called IT firms too have their own rules set for people. In one hand they will talk about flexibility on the other hand they have their so called policies which kills the flexibility and the free atmosphere. Rules like wearing formals on a particular day, wearing casuals on some other day, should have Tie on this day. Why do these firms follow the so called western working culture so blindly, though on ground reality we both dont have anything in common.
Cmon its time to Break The Rules set by the Companies!!!!!
It's really big time now for us to Break The Rules, and step outside the cocoon which had been tightely wrapped by the threads of the so called unwanted rules.
