If this is a dream, let me sleep awhile......


The last few days have been pretty....
Nooo, I didnt miss any word,.. they have actually been Pretty.

For anyone who might have been dealing with firefighting (quick hint: they are ppl who are called in after the damage has been done)..,i guess a sector shift might be a welcome change, especially on the first week,..So, might have been carried away.., but if you ask me today, i would say..life s good..,.(Beware,that might be a unconscious biased statement)

And they ACTUALLY believe, stuff like....
Jus like I do....

and they even pay at the end of the month..... So, I guess i shall be paid for drinking coffee tense-forth...

First week has been total fun, I had an absolutely tiring game of TT, (and I won).., I got off on the wrong floor thrice within 15 mins and have been taking stairs ever since... Cheered Chennai SuperKings to Victory at the cafeteria, and guess what..... I still have a day to go...

and ohhhh, almost forgot,.......you actually start believing that girls DO exist in this planet...

The Final Resort


The scene that lay before him was ghastly to say the least. In a fit of rage, he had committed a sin he feared most. Murder!!. He had killed two of them in an unthinking second. But he did not regret it, He reasoned it was better them than he.....

It had all started a month ago. His was a peaceful life with his wife and his 9 month year old son, at a remote location in the wilds of Utah. He was the Director of the "Networks", an organization which was known only to the President himself, that handled classified information on the most wanted Terrorists across the globe.

But, it wouldn't be a lie to say that he had a premonition about this even before it had started. It had started to rain from the morning itself, on that fateful day. He was returning home after holding a emergency meeting with his first inline officers, briefing them on the whereabouts of Carlos, the most dangerous terrorist alive.

He was about 30m from his house, when he stopped in a stunned silence. An ear piercing scream rang out from the direction of his house. There was no mistaking his wife's scream. Drenched completely, he started running half blinded by the rain, even as in his heart, he feared he knew the reason.

His friends at the organization had constantly warned him about this though. But he had complete confidence in the Z class security systems deployed at his house and he had never taken his friends' advice seriously. He now knew for sure that those professional killers were after his blood. He had had a close encounter with them the previous month, and knew they meant business. It wouldn't entirely be a lie to say he had shifted his house twice during the last month, because of them. But they had traced him out somehow.

He reached inside the house, fearing the worst. As expected, he saw his wife battling against those wretched degenerate souls, unfit to be even called humans. He lost his temper. He knew he had to die one day, and he was an expert in close combat.

In a fit of rage, he had committed a sin he feared most. Murder!!. He had killed two of them in an unthinking second. But he did not regret it, He reasoned it was better them than he.....

Even as his hands were covered in blood, a dull whining sound reached his ears. swat!...Another one of those damned mosquitoes fell to the ground.

Sssh... Genius at Work


The toughest thing about success is that, you got to keep being a success,

And with every single success thereupon, on one hand you transcend to the next level, up the ante, redefine rules & raise expectations, but at the same time, inevitably end up carving out for yourself that much more pressure to deliver at the same level, the next time.

Not many have been capable enough to be consistent to bring upon themselves that self made pressure, much less deal with it.

But, we are blessed to live in an era of one such maestro, who crafts in succession, symphonies of exquisite elegance, scores of sublime beauty, and generous enough to take the audience on that ethereal, nay almost spiritual experience, every time he steps on court.

There are men, and there are warriors….and then one day, arrives their King to humble them….

O skeptics believe… he is one amongst us mortals afterall…and yet,

The King is only wounded, not slain...
Lie there and bleed awhile, Then arise…the mortals await.,

King Federer, This loss doesn’t tarnish your sheen,
It is still only to thee, that our heads bow…

(written after the Oz Open 2008)

To the person I shall miss the most...

Letting Go…

The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you cannot have them. There are moments in everybody’s life, which makes one wish, “If only there was a pause button to life, If only time could be frozen in this moment forever..”

Words from the devil himself “If only…”

Parting ways with someone who means the most in your life can be an emotionally draining experience. Its quite mind-numbing to part with someone, who has touched your life in special ways, given memories to last your lifetime, and the hardest part is, we know what is it that we shall miss…and for that reason alone, more often than not, we are compelled to think Ignorance would have been bliss. To love unconditionally is to risk your heart be broken, and yet…there’s no other way to love…

And even though we might give anything to get the past back, reliving those cherished memories, it takes awhile to acknowledge the fact that time heals what reason cannot.

There is nobility in winning a person’s heart and promising to treasure them come what may. And yet, there is greater dignity in putting their happiness first, realizing that true love is never conditional and letting them go. As a blessed soul has put it, Letting Go…is one way of saying I love you.

And as wheels of time turn, realization dawns that the love still exists, only…It has lost a name…. and there is nothing more gratifying in taking their hand, sharing their beliefs, hopes and desires & helping them achieve their dreams, just as you go about yours.

And one day, you wont be sad because it is over, you shall smile because it happened.The world shall never be the same…. and you shall have understood the essence of life….

As I might have…
God Bless,

Turning over a new Leaf....

Started this blog sometime last year, Yet fortunately or unfortunately subsequent ramblings have happened only in that cherished "diary" of mine, and not on this blog.

From being blithe to delving into the gloomy corridors of the obscure (bordering on the unknown sometimes) and the way back to being carefree again, its been one hell of a journey so far. And yet, the funny thing is, am still asking (wishing?!) myself if the journey is over....

Anyways,..didnt quite like the mundane blog templates offered on Blogspot. So found something afresh, shuffled the cast, altered the set and changed the props. So all that is left to do is to get the show on the road.

Let me start off by offloading the entries in the diary onto the blog, and continue thereafter. Here goes....
