Convenience now a necessity!!

If someone asked you – ‘is a mobile phone important?’, what would you say?

Well, I am not a gadgets person and never had a hand phone for years until a couple of years ago. Today I entered my office premises and realized that I am walking in without my ID card. Also, I realized that it was because I was not carrying my bag. The bag was on its way back home in the chauffeur driven two wheeler’s box.

I realized I had to call certain important people who would try to reach me and inform them that my phone and all items, much more expensive stuff are all not with me. During this conversation, I realized that a mobile phone is such an important gadget in people’s lives; even so we are oblivious to the fact that it’s only a piece of gadget. It has become a part of all our lives; Oh well! At least in my perspective there were more important things to worry about; because anyone can reach me at my desk phone.

So, what could be much more important in this juncture according to me – well it’s obviously my purse in my bag. Again, it’s not the plastics in the purse that is important, but few papers which are the medium of exchange for my transportation back home. The last thing I would want is to beg and borrow from workplace L which was unfortunately the last resort.

Signing off now; Leaving you thinking - can you still live without a mobile phone?

Sleep Cricket… Dream Cricket…. Eat Cricket….. Breathe Cricket……………………

Little do I know about cricket. But hey! Wait, here is my cousin who dreams, sleeps, talks, walks and breathes cricket. It is just not a dream but a dream come true. No dream is a success or achievement till there is hard work and dedication. Behind any success or achievement there is a whole lot of hard work, self-driven PASSION towards achieving the goal, BOOST and MOTIVATION at every moment. This is where the key role of parents and supporters come into picture. As for my cousin, his mom (Chitra), dad (Ravichandran) and grandpa (Narayanaswami) have, and are continuing to give their full support to him since his age eight to be a self-made and successful cricket player. Cousin R Ashwin and Indian Cricketer Dhoni just a pose after a practice session. When a child starts to walk, initially he will tumble and fumble and get injured. Initial days of practice Ashwin had a slight injury in the pelvic, as per doctor’s advice had taken a break for a year or two ...

Terrace and Me

Image
After many many years I went to the terrace this morning. This place has known all my mood swings over close to two decades now. A place where I have sat peacefully during early mornings and during late nights; spent time to complete my assignments/homework of college and school. Terrace, a part of the flat I stay where all children of our ages spent the maximum hours of the evenings everyday to play. Today too the place looked just the same. Parrots chirping and flying around to the nearest trees. A view from the terrace, no change what so ever. Even today a cricket match in the neighboring ground. The only change i found is that there are less and less crows and more and more pigeons. Only a handful of independent houses left; and with multi-storied flats and corporates around our house, the view afar is completely cut off. I was wrapped up in the thoughts of the pleasant past. Life was slow then and there were never a husssh hussh, lets hurry kind of life. ...
