Life at the edge of needles

On those golden days, long long ago, once upon a time all you need to step out of house was a decent dress, and neat presentation and some perfume.

Nowadays this new addition to face in the form of mask, has brought in its own set of comical trouble

I can't count the number is times I have left house in all josh only to come back in to get a mask within next few minutes
I left doing upper lip as it is covered by mask; so the days at home I sport a well oiled tache 
We color coordinate masks between mother daughter Duo and walk around as if anyone really cares about it

So in the decision to step forward towards covid free world , I went and took my vaccine. Now all my friends had taken and I was ready for it
- cooked enough food to feed 1.5 stomach at home
- planned easy lunch box for Dewy
- told ofc that I might be little off due to low RAM 

And now 8 hrs after vaccine- have sore arms(expected) and little laziness( almost my second nature) # my friends enquire and ask to take rest
After sound night sleep- first thing I do is to test for fever.  Nope.  Quite normal.  I think that's its not 24 hrs yet. (As if body runs on clock). Wash vessels also thinking if fever comes I don't have to touch water and now waiting.# friends enquire and now they are getting frustrated because there is nothing to ask me about. One even suggested that people got in 30 hrs
After 30 hrs- None. Nada. Usual day. #Friends stopped asking. Though one genuinely felt bad that I had good constitution)

So when you are over prepared this is what happens.

To prioritize or Not to; thats the question

A professor stood before his Philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “yes”. The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed. “ Now,” said the professor, as the laughter subsided, “I want you to recognize that t

Freedom at Midnight

Till date I never read a book consecutively twice. But I had to; in this case. When I completed reading the book first time I was too lost in facts to miss the emotions. I felt hatred, devotion, anger and a confused feeling towards British, Indian Leaders, Mohammed Ali Jinnah and Gandhi in that order. I was surprised how little I knew about my mother land. The Empire was 'heavy with gold, black with industrial soot, and red with the blood of conquest.' Collins and Lapierre open the book on New Year's Day, 1947 -- London awakes to filth of its own country. The reader is taken on a journey of significant events that lead to the independence of India. On the way you will be introduced to many brilliant characters that shaped the history of India and have left a mark that is still evident. The authors’ attempt to justify everything done by the British Indian Empire by concealing the atrocities brought about by them during their so-called Raj in India. Collins and Lapierre skip

Malayalam-too tough

Aahaaaa…..Finally got something to post about. Was suffering from writer’s block... he.. hee.he. Spent a few days at my granny’s place with net access denied and got back home just this weekend. Now when I am back to blogsville something has taken back my writing skills. Thought too much about what to post and my mom could see a smoke coming through my ears. Now getting back to topic. Since I had no special work to carry on I was ransacking my shelves to find some good old books to read. My hands fell on a book and it was my Malayalam book. When my exams got over I was bent on making mom help me learn Malayalam. That turned out to be a disaster. Though I am a malayalee, being born and brought up in Chennai is the only reason I can’t read and write my mother tongue. That’s a shame. I wanted to learn before I reach trivandrum for my training at TCS. So with the same vigor I bought a book to help me, since mom had certain confusion with new version and started learning the alphabets. Afte
