Change!!!

There’s a saying which goes like… “The only thing which is permanent is change”
How true… I used to hate “the change”… as we have to tune ourselves in many ways and to get accustomed to that new “change” which is really hard!

But now, how ironic, I want a change…
A change from this mundane work and routine!

And I’m working towards it and hope to reach it sometime!

Change could also be a blessing in disguise, for we might end up achieving something more than expected or even dreamt of….

I have hence decided to enjoy and appreciate the little change also that I’m gonna encounter…

With the hope it would be a blessing

An experience!

Im all excited! My first ever shoot for a TV show!
‘Neeya Naana’ – A debate which is telecasted on Vijay TV.

The auditions were held in our office where we were asked to speak randomly on some topics. I got through the auditions and got a call from the team the next day.

The topic which I had to debate on was “is it correct to have more number of dresses and to be over conscious about it” and I was for the topic.
The shoot was held at Prasad studios at Vadapalani on the 24th of May.

The stage was set …. And the shoot was for over 5 hours!
This is my first ever appearance on TV and my first ever debate in Tamil…

The show went really well and I’m all excited about it!
I did get to speak and I’m happy about my contribution!
I must mention about the MC – Mr. Gopinath….

He carried the show really well and no doubt he is one of the best in his field!
He knows how to extract stuff from people at the same time not hurting anyone’s ego…

Indeed… it was a wonderful experience and I got to know how tough it was to get things look beautiful and easy on screen!

My Companion

Of late, there seems to be some kinda disturbance which keeps me preoccupied with myself! That is, in simple, I’m all alone…
It’s really bad to be so… but what more could one ask for during such time?
Yes… A companion… what kinda companion?

Something struck me today about my companion…. Something that keeps me busy, happy, always with me and never argues back!
Yes…Can you believe it…? I just do the listening but still there’s no argument going on.

Music!
Yes three cheers to the ones who have guessed it by now…

I’ve always had this great passion for music… (Don’t ask me… who doesn’t have).
During my travel or when I’m home feeling lonely, not sure what to do, I sit back and just enjoy my playlist!
Yes… my playlist has songs scored by A R Rahman to Yuvan Shankar Raja…

Music keeps us so much alive and is indeed the best companion…
And it can be tamed to your mood… that’s the best part about it...
I can’t even imagine a world without Music :D

Women's day

March 8th is celebrated as Women’s day throughout the world!
Women have come a long way to have kept aside a day for herself on the calendar.

We had a few celebrations at our office. Singing competition, fashion show and the winner would be titled too!

Women’s day was celebrated everywhere…
On the radio, television, office, anywhere you turn around, you could find the celebrations!

Women’s day has become eventful.
I guess the celebrations this year has been more than any other year before!

To add on to all this, the women’s bill (33% quota for women) has been passed in the Rajya Sabha...
What more a reason do we need to celebrate women’s day!

It’s not just for the ones who are going to be a part of parliament; it’s for all women who have gone through various phases in life and challenges!
I wish every woman in this world, a happy women’s day and may all be blessed with all success and happiness by thy almighty!

Weekend trip!

Finally, the plan worked and the entire family confirmed the decision of this trip to Karuveli (A small village/town near Kumbakonam). We had arranged for a van and a car to accommodate the strength of 20. Though the trip started off late due to the delay in the arrival of the vehicles, as it progressed we caught up with our spirits and had a wonderful time!

Not sure when was the last time I went out with such huge crowd but it was terrific and the crowd strength made it even better!

We left Chennai on Friday (26^th Feb), picked up all our folks and started our voyage. Exchanging hugs and hi s as we started off and it was so refreshing to meet them all.

We reached Karuveli at 3 in the mid-night and got our luggage in the rooms allotted to us. Had a good sleep that night after the tiring journey!

The next day morning, we were set to visit the temple which was the purpose of the trip. It was such a beautiful place with all green and freshness around!

All women of that crowd took their afternoon break once the Darshan was over and we had our talks over coffee. We forgot about all our personal worries and meeting our dear ones after such a long time and spending some valuable time with them was so relishing.

To add icing on the cake, the next day we went to a few other small temples on our way back home and it was such a nice time. We watched some movies during the trip!

On the whole, it was a refreshing trip keeping behind our mundane life and meeting our never met cousins!

Wishing for a few more trips of this kind in the near future!

Man of Records!!

Where do I start from? I don’t deserve writing about this man…. But I’m just tempted to!

What an innings today and how he has proved every time undoubtedly that he is a master blaster!

Sachin... the most deserving and respected cricketer today.

A legend of tomorrow and a master in his own way…

Today his splendid innings of 200*(unbeaten) from 147 balls – the highest ever score in ODIs. He has completed 20 years in cricketing and what more of an experience is required to get such a record!

I do not have any statistical data to talk about this man’s records but I can just see the enthusiasm and the vibration he creates every time he’s out to bat.

Just to quote an example, I could sense the reverberations in our workplace when he reached 195, and all my colleagues ran(literally) to the canteen to catch up LIVE, his record of this 200*(unbeaten).

Even I tried my part to get up there, but my goodness, it was so crowded that I couldn’t even enter the place. I could sense the love and passion these people have for Cricket and for our little master!

The roaring cheers from the crowd make us literally jump out of our seats! Baring all escalations happening at work, folks put aside them to see this master blaster get his record. To check out our man… the first cricketer and an Indian to achieve this unbreakable record, as seemed before!

He has made history and his name would be renowned forever. In order to pay tribute to his achievements, the venue where the match took place today (Captain Roop Singh Stadium, Gwalior) has declared to construct a pavilion in his name!!

The greatest thing about this guy is the way he has taken up all this achievement. Graciously he has dedicated this record to all his fans in India.

What a down to earth person. A perfect show to showcase team spirit was staged today.

May this gentleman live long and achieve the unachievable!

Three cheers to our little master…..

Hip Hip Hurray!!!!!

A delayed new year BLOG!

It is the 2^nd month of this Year and I still haven’t been able to give a new blog… My work has kept me really busy; which is a lame reason to have not been able to write for long.

Every year gives us something new in our life-emotionally, professionally or be it anything! 2009 has also given me the same and I would say it was a pretty boring year!

The people I met and the friends I obtained then on have taught me a dozen new things in life. I’m taking forward the good ones and trying to bring a change in my view.

The happy notes of 2009 have been – my sister’s wedding and all the family get together. These are the moments in life which makes life bliss and meaningful…

On the career front, there have been a few changes in my work and I’m still looking forward for a better one and I hope to achieve it this year!

Last year I managed to complete a semester of my exams and I wish to finish 2 this year.

Let this year and the coming years bring in all happiness in everyone’s life.

Though with a delay, I would like to wish everyone a happy new year and may God bless all with the best they had asked for!

Let this year be the most cheerful and enjoyable one!

God bless all…

Happy 2010!
