2022- Year of Surprises

 This is little late probably a little too late.

But this year was a like a roller coaster ... one of the good kinds. So

1) I left my company which was like my home base for last 15 years and kind of becoming my second home. It took me lot of courage to leave the place. 

2) Moved to a completely different city. It wasn't easy as the older place had gotten comfortable

3) Added someone to family. We had challenges but at the end it turned out good

4) Dewy had her own challenges to move from a friend overloaded place to a place where finding a cow is easier than finding friends

5) Dewy finding her way to manage her life around different things in a new place by itself was something that I am thankful for. We all grow in different way and this was hers

6) We did California. Literally California - LA, San Francisco, Monterey Bay, Lake Tahoe. It was one hell of trip for 10 days and it ended with some unexpected surprises

7) We finally did the Disney. The one thing I promised Dewy when we came to this land

And infact we even started 2023 in a snowy bang!!! That's a story for another day. It was so not our way of New Year celebration. But I realize there are many more New Years for us to celebrate as a family. So going to let this slide by.

I am looking forward to go to India this summer and rest all ;time will tell.

Time will tell, we all say, but when comes the present... our hearts will be led astray.

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...

Time for friends!!!!

Probably we would have read this as a forward or deleted it without reading. But now.. Lets take time to read it. One day a teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name. Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down. It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers. That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that individual. On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling. "Really?" she heard whispered. "I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!" and, "I didn't know others liked me so much," were most of the comments. No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She n...

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...
