That Little Something

She was sitting in a ferry and seeing the beauty of backwaters being blocked by something even more beautiful. The breeze aided the soft waves of her hair to flirt more with her cheeks and a faint smile on her lips and hell yes; it was a brand new day. After having spent years in mind-tearing dilemma, she now felt free. Priorities were set, dreams were strengthened. A slideshow of her future ran in front of her eyes, a blurred image coming into focus. She saw herself in the place she wanted to be. A small fear still voiced its opinion, but she shed it. After all, if your dreams don't scare you, they are not big enough!

So she closed her eyes to open it with renewed confidence - being 20 with a maturity of a 30 year old, child like glee of a 5 year old, and confidence of well, a 20 year old.

PS: I think that little something makes all the difference in the world. When we believe in ourselves, believe in our ability, have faith and love, then amazing things happen :)

What is your ‘little something’? :)

Good day folks!

Metro Man

I spent my last five months in an architectural firm in ahmedabad and was mainly involved in the upcoming metro rail project of the city . This is when I read more about the transportation network in India and came across a lot of interesting details. In this process, I learnt more about one man who by the virtue of his hard work and dedication brought comfort to Indians – E. Sreedharan – true icon of our times! 56 successive years, in a single job, without a break – but barely anyone talking about him. Is it simply because, Dr Sreedharan, is not a typical Indian Success Story? As in, he is not an IITian nor is he from an IIM. He is not from a minority community. He did not study under street lamps. He did not milk cows to pay for his schooling. He is neither an actor nor a singer. Oh and he is not a cricketer! He was just a simple middle class Indian, who went about his job – the man who probably contributed the most to our infrastructure and that too silen...

my idea of Magical Acting Moments

When someone came up with a list of '50+ things only a Proud Mallu will understand', the first on list was a photo of Mohanlal with the caption - 'This man is part of your daily life. Literally!’ That says it all. Even after a series of uninspiring movies, how his brilliance on screen continues to leave so many in admiration. So this particular post will cater to a smaller group. To be specific – malayalis and those who follow Malayalam cinema. To be a little more specific – malayalis who likes the actor in Mohanlal. I thought when I say he is my personal favourite, I should be able to pick some screen moments that made me a lalettan fan! Here's a look back at some of the magical acting moments - my most favorite ones - from a career that has entertained , enlightened and amazed us for last 30+ years. 10.

NObody yet ANYbody or SOMEbody

I sat alone, apart from my own twin that we all carry in our heads; alone in the corner being able to observe everyone in the cafe. Wooden floor boards & wall panels with simply deep quotations & abstract framed art work. Too much of calm inside that compensates for all the rush outside. I sat in my corner, reading over tea & waiting for my cake. Other guests came in, sometimes alone & sometimes not ; some of them knew each other while some did not. I tried to make friendly eye contact so I could initiate a smile that might start a ‘good evening to you’ or a ‘hello’. Mostly their eyes would avoid mine while they sorted out where they were going to sit & what they were going to order & of course replying to texts in between all this. Now they had no reason to say ‘good evening’ because to say it then would have been out of place, the meeting having already occurred some minutes earlier. So, no gestures or smiles of acknowledgeme...
