Dialogue (1)


She : What is your take anyway?


He : It is one's decision. See my idea is very simple. You being an individual have your own way of seeing things and deciding the right and wrong.


She : True.


He : I was raised being told that certain things are absolutely evil and till a point I even believed it. When I moved out into the world, I met people who were raised differently. Anything is like that. If you want to do something, do it. Just plain and simple. Not to show anyone or as a burden. But with joy and the feeling of RESPONSIBILITY.


She : But what if you do it irresponsibly and hurt a few in the process?


He : That is what I am coming to. It isn't easy at all. This is applicable only if you are independent of the action. The moment you engage someone into your freedom, it is your responsibility to ensure the other person is also equally respected and gets to be part of the game in all aspects, simply because it is a choice that was made.  

Like in a relationship, you are letting one more person into your selfish life. There it is your responsibility to make sure the partner gets the same respect.


It is just my way of looking at it.


She : It is my way of seeing things too.

He : Welcome to the team buddy.


She : I've always been a member of this one.


Good week ahead 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. SUMMER IN BETHLEHEM - The Stunning Cameo As Niranjan  'Naalu vayassukaariyaya ayalude makalude attu poya kunjikkai ente dehathaanu vannu veena...

Holding hands through changing contexts

 A few years ago, my two friends and I bonded over snacks and chat during our recess at school. Each of us struggled with different types of math problems, we had different dreams to chase, and we struggled with different challenges. Then one day we took off to different places to chase our dreams. Of course, we made promises to stay in touch; we shed tears because we thought we can’t live without each other, and we made our parents promise us national roaming plans so that we could talk our hearts out. Fast forward – more than a decade later - multiple milestones, wins, and falls later – we three managed to transcend and keep it together. Technology nurtured our bond and it worked fine. Then one day, we decided to take some time to catch up in person in another country. It was a dream and fortunately, it was simply beautiful. On reflecting upon my experience of being part of a close group for so many years, I penned down a few things before and after the trip – BEFORE When we ...
