Its anothr saturday today, and guess wots sooo vry spcl about it, besides dat it is a Saturday?  Its HOLI tomorrow.





Well, now there has been one confusion about like which is particular date for it, coz some one had come up with the idea that there gotta be a "Badi Holi" and another "Choti Holi". But heck, why do I care!! As long as I can play wid colors, throw them at my friends and, well.. Let them throw at me as well.

There has been some particular reason for celebrating Holi, but am not going into that.But what I am treading into is the fact that this is a real treat to the eyes! Yes, indeed.. I don see any other festival in Indian calender that can be so much more colorful, even if you aren the one taking part in it!

The sheer variety and contrast of colours that are available, is enough to startle one person. To which I wonder, where does all this colors dissapear from our daily life of other days!  Hmmm...

Wish you all a Colurful bright Holi!

An ode to Saturday..

 


I remember the days when friday meant the end of the week, and saturday was only meant for playing. Well, I had to study, but then that was compensated by the excitement and the fun.Used to wait for saturday like anything (Sighh...).


And now here i am Sitting in office and wondering whatever the Fcuk happened to the saturday. The general commotion here doesn give any slightest hint that today is THE DAY.
Used to spend the lazy saturday mornings watching the Looney toons.





Yeah, I grew up watching these I admit, and so did most of you. What best strikes me is the real life characters aroun me,and that including me, all scuttering away with their work, irrespective of the day, just like the characters in the series minus the Colors and BANGS !! 

Too bad no one bothers to stop by and remember our gud ol'pal Saturday any more.And this post I dedicate to you (Impersonated Saturday).
now gimme a Hi5....

Lamenting over the lost sands of time




Yes, I have been for some time thinking on like why is it that we get to know the value of a place(or of some person,in some case..DUHH!!) after we leave it.

Like hell i had been living at my home town for two years, and I didn even care to go beyond the same old road limit.
But, now after having left it, when i am only able to visit it once or twice(Consider lucky!!) that am able to come to full terms with actually i have left behind.




That's the light house, the light beam from which i used to follow on those silent and moonlit nights. It was fun stealing away those precious few moments from the treacherous night studies preparing for the board nd entrance exams. Yet I had never cared lest bothered to just push a few paddles(yess! i used a bicycle) and go that place.

Nohh, i wud rather sit with the books and gobble all the things up.
And later, after years perhaps, when I visited home, i took up the courage to find the time to go beyond the roads, believ me,another whole new norld world was unveiled to me, am not talking about discovery of the magnitude of Columbus!.But something new from my own perspective.

And well, yeah, i did drag one of my friend along. Guess couldn handle all the fun maself...!!

It was fun to ride along an all new and unknown road, didin even bother to ask where the road ultimately led to. We just drove on and on... And we did reach a very b'ful place. Alas i don't have the pics to share over here.
After that , I had made it a point to visit that place and the adjoining places every time i visited my home town.
I still wish I had known those little, less visited places earlier,it would have been SO great. Sighh..!! Whats gone cannot be brough back, but I hope to see the little places worth visiting where i am staying presently. Not that there is much time left at end of the day, nor is there enough time by sunday alone, but its that feeble and faint ray of hope that keeps us going.

Week, after week after week..

Unsought in Chaos


Well, I might have commented so much about order, disorder and chaos, the fact remains that am still confused so much about it. and maybe that's what it is all about.

Honestly, i have been trying to get into a job after pass out, and i remember pretty well how that time was. I would have traded anything for a decent work profile, and well, i did make into one.
But once into a job, and after having worked for a month or so, that i realized that was all my years of effort worth the work am doing here(am not discussing my job profile here).

I really miss those idle days at my home place,pondycherry. And i miss those outings that me and my friends use to under take on those idle afternoons.

It's then that i realize that life does provide us with the best of moments at all the times, but we miss them looking for and worrying for tomorrow. Examples are lying abundant before me to cite( and most of you around i know).

But then, now that those moments came and passed by, is it more prudent to lament about them or just take the lesson and learn to live the moment now.
