My blog helps to connect separated family


One of my dearest friend got separated from his biological uncle because of a tussle between his father and his fathers brothers. Two days back i got a call from a person claiming to be my friend’s cousin and he asked for my friends contact details to get re-united.

Then i passed my friends mobile number to his cousin and it was nice that they interacted.

I’m not specifying my friends name because my friends father is not interested with this re-union. But i’m happy because google & my blog has help someone to find their lost ones even they were unable to get re-united again.

Challenging visit to Mayiladuthurai


Had to drive to Mayiladuthurai to attend a friends wedding. I had to drive my parents & aunt for the marriage. Though i love to go for such drives i had hard time as i had to drive during a hot day on 1st June. On reaching the town by noon we reached my aunt’s home to take a short nap. Agony started again & there was no power and we had to sleep under a Fan which ran on a inverter. After waking up we all took bath and reached the Marriage Hall.

It was time to meet all the cousins and pull down each other. Other side elders were introducing us to other distant relatives. WE were there in the hall for 4 hours and time went in a jiffy.

Then we came back to aunt’s house only to find that the power hasn’t come back. I went to a nearby Hotel named PAMS which had only one AC room and i blocked the room immediately. When i picked my sister, mom & granny power came back. Sadly hotel denied a refund and we all stayed in the hotel.

Next day we all got up by 5 AM and reached the hall by 6 AM for marriage. Again 5 hours went like a giffy. But the hall was too hot for us to stay till noon. After the dinner we immediately started to drive back to Chennai.

Since i drove the previous day & because of poor sleep i was very tired & with great difficulty i drove back home. After that i had a slept immediately by 6 PM and got up only at 10 AM the next day.

5 things I can’t do


  1. Telling a girl that she is beautiful in front of her face…
  2. Stop offering Bribe & accepting penalty for mistakes I do (mostly Traffic relates ones)…
  3. Stop watching movies…
  4. Laugh when I’m upset or angry…
  5. Being on DIET…

Alleppey Experience


It was very stressful and I went to Kumily along with my Madurai 3 weeks back. There we planned & decided to goto Alleppey, Alapuzzha & spend a day in House Boat. From then we were counting days the day. I travelled to Madurai last Thursday and reached Madurai. Then following are the events that happened;

  • Reached Madurai refreshed & Took bath.
  • Then went to Manoj’s juice shop and Laxman picked me up in 10 min.
  • From there we went to a supermarket and made some purchase.
  • From there went to Marverick GYM met friends & asked Sathish to get ready.
  • Then went back to Manoj’s house and picked him form there.
  • Manoj went to attend a small Shop-opening & Laxman and I went to Medical shop and brought some medicines.
  • Then went to Toddy shop has toddy.
  • Picked up Sathish & started to drive to Alleppey by 12 noon.

We took Theni, Cumbam, Kimily – Alleppey road which is a Ghat Road. As usual it was a pleasent Gods own Country and i’m thrilled to see houses which were big and small towns having good looking girls, posh houses, good roads etc.

As usual it was Laxman driving style which made me & sathish sick and we had to sleep to avoid side effects. After hectic 6 hours drive we reached Alleppey with the help of Google Maps which navigated us to the place.

Then we stayed in a hotel called Arcadia Regency. To be frank it was a good hotel in apprearance otherwise;

  • It had a swimming pool which was small & poorly maintained.
  • Rooms were very average with flickering lights.
  • Toilets were average too.
  • Service was also poor.

But we had a wonderful party & we all crashed to sleep without our conscious and i was the first to crash to bed. Then it was Laxman & I who got up early in the morning and then we went to buy fish for people who are Non-Veg and wanted to have Sea food. We first went to the beach and we were told catching was poor that day and the minimal amount of fish they caught had to sent to the market. We immediately went to the market and brought different verity of fish & crabs for Rs.5000/-.

Then we had a swim in the hotel swimming pool and we proceeded to board our House Boat and we were 3 hours late.

We sailed some 50 KM that day before we halted by 6 PM. Again it was great fun and we all were partying hard and last guys to crash were Laxman & I. Then i slept in the morning and got up a hour before we landed again.

Over all it was a great experience because we went with friends. But it has other challenges too like;

  • Sathish went ill and he is hospitalized for last four days because of food poisoning.
  • Rooban got hold of Malaria.
  • This was not the right time to travel as it was too hot and not enjoyable. But tariff of house boat are at its low because it was off season.
  • One great lesson too. We went there thought a friend and he arranged a boat for us and they charged us Rs.9000/- for house boat for a day. But when went enquired later the charge for the boat was Rs.6000/- only. So visit different House Boat  agents and take best call.

Other than that it was a great experience and here are some snaps of our House Boat;

Early morning love


It is always pleasant to wake up early and enjoy the fresh air & watch fresh green trees.

Sadly in cities corporate life has taken a toll on lifestyle & we don’t get a chance to wake up early.

Also urbanization has killed the nature and everything is artificial.

Now i’m traveling to Madurai & didn’t want to miss a chance to document such pleasant experience.

Why this GAP?


Itz been a while since I blogged consistently. Finally I started getting enquries from readers. So, I think it is my responsibility to make things straight. Let me list some reasons;

– Struck by loads of work at a time. Unable to prioritize tasks effectively.
– Too many personal things good & bad which can’t be made public.
– Over a point blogging became a responsibility than hobby. I don’t know how this happened.
– Too much of blogging & work led to fatigue.
– Fatigue stopped my brain working. So, was unable to grab an opportunity to blog.
– Again fatigue made me loose interest on movies, photography, drive, travel which use to be my topics.

So, I wanted a healthy break to come back strong. I thank you all for your wonderful support.

Kavi’s Creativity


My friend Kaviraj is known for his creativity. 

Sunday with a meaning


As usual I crashed to sleep by 6 AM Sunday morning. Then it was non-stop sleep till 1 PM only to crash again to wake up by 4 PM. Then I had an oil massage done by my sister.

Then I had to work on the documentation for the launch of our magazine People Justice. My friend who is the editor of the magazine came home by 4.30 PM. We finished all the documentation work by 6 o clock and next thing is to take a printout.

After a cool shower we proceeded in search of a Cyber Café to take printouts. Being a Sunday most of the shops were closed and we found one which was 2 KM away from my house. To my surprise it was my friend’s café and it was a nice opportunity to get back to him.

By 7.30 PM we finished all out work and we proceeded to have a look at my friend’s property which was near to the place. Then by 8.15 PM we proceeded to Chennai Citi Center as I had some shopping & scheduled a business meeting.

En route I got a call from my friend telling the meeting was called off. But I asked him make it to the mall so that we can catch for dinner and for a movie. After reaching the mall by 9 o clock we immediately proceeded to Inox counter to book ticket.

Then I went to Lifestyle to buy a numeric lock and immediately we moved to food court. I was little lavish on my diet and then we moved to watch the movie.

Then we had to bid adieu to Rooban and I drove back with my editor friend and we had a small discussion about our marriage and drove till Sriperambubur and then reached back home by 3 AM.

Over all I was contented that I was able to do something productive still didn’t spoil my shopping plan and Sunday enjoyment.

Feeling lonely at nights


Mornings are business as usual and I don’t know how time runs. I’m feeling too bored at nights. I normally talk to friends, go for drives and keep myself engaged at nights too.

After the exit of old friends and entry of new ones I don’t have dreath of friends. But I don’t have the brotherhood friendship where in I can take them for granted.

I use to hang around with my new friends until last week. We stopped roaming during weekdays because;

– Watching movies during weekdays leaves us with no option during weekends.
– Another pass-time is going to food joints, which adds to the calorie.
– Also we spend a lot on tickets, food & travel. Which is a added burden.

Now I don’t feel sleepy, also I’m done with my work. Now don’t know what to do? How & what to engage.

Starting to feel the pinch of loneliness.
