Twists in my Life #1

Recently, a very life changing event took place.
It changed the perspective I had to many aspects of life. 

Each day when I wake up with the excitement of a new sunrise, 
When I wake up with the gratefulness of another chance to prove myself and accept myself.

I am certain of what will happen the next moment.
I've planned the next move the second before
Yet I am anxious of the future, unable to experience the present.

What happens to the 'Plan' if there is an unexpected event?

I started to feel broken
I started looking for excuses to assure myself that I'm not wasting my time. 

I think I am feeling this way only because nothing has happened to me, nothing big enough for me to even understand the pain.
I'm just affected by what has happened to my mother. It not only affects me as I am to take over the various responsibilities in the house but on an emotional level, its simple hard to process truth. 

She has gotten hurt and we have 100% grantee and hope that she will get better in a matter of months. 

I'm getting a feeling that the main requirement to live life according to all those plans or more specifically the first and foremost plan is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, for a happy life. I want to accept things more easily, even if there are not always on the road to growth. 

I'm an having an all-new experience of helping others, just staying by their side, take care of the house, allow the activities to unfold and finish them on the go, maybe it is a full-scale attempt of the big concept of 'multi-tasking'. Accepting the inability to manage two or three things together, handling all the comments of the food, most importantly managing time has been quite a task which I'm obviously failing at. 

But surely, I'm learning a lot, each day. Just now feeling all the things that were always done for me, the things that go unnoticed until you don't get the taste of it.

A short article to summarize a major part of the month, an experience I have never even dreamed of having!!

Apathy's Anchor

 A lone tree  claimed  the land,    Lost in its own silence .  It  held fast , though winds did roar,  And birds sang,  unheard .  Fixed in its gaze , The cows moved, the clouds drifted.  For how could a rock ever truly smile?  Or a desert ever truly weep? - Bharathi Senthilkumar

Book Review – Democrazy

I recently read Democrazy during a long train journey from my hometown to Chennai, and it was quite an engaging experience. The book offers a satirical take on democracy, exploring why ordinary citizens often feel they can question the system but find it difficult to bring about meaningful change. While referencing the famous phrase “for the people, by the people”, it examines how the idea sometimes appears complicated in practice, despite being outlined in one of the longest constitutions in the world. The author uses humor and sharp observation to present scenarios that oscillate between amusing and thought-provoking. The narrative describes different forms of challenges faced by citizens—such as bribery, exploitation, and bureaucratic hurdles—through a cast of fictional characters: a head of government, an ambitious family member, a veteran party member, an influential industrialist, a sincere journalist, a socially active citizen (particularly on social media), a strict school prin...

Sathuragiri experience

  Sathuragiri is a pilgrimage site located in the district of Virudhunagar in Tamilnadu. The hills are actually a part of the Western Ghats. The name is in Tamil, as 'chaturam' means square and 'giri' means mountain. Many people say the the hill is square-shaped, so that's where the name originates from. I saw that the temple built around the 2 'suyambu' lingam or the two idols that are not installed by any person but they exist on their own is in the middle of 4 different hills.  Our group consisted of 4 girls and their fathers and four other uncles. Everyone was a school friend except my father, our group’s leader and another uncle. Everyone is such an amazing person. We had great fun throughout the entire journey. They all taught me so much by talking about their life experiences and many other incidents that changed their lives. We began our trek from a madam at the foot of the hills in SriVilliputhur. Filled with adventurous paths, I had great fun a...
