What am i doing different now to what i ve been doing all along. What triggered this sudden change in me...change in both my work and personal life, change in my attitude, losing my inhibitions, my unwanted ego, opening the mind outside 'suraj's world). Have i realised, its not all bout me. Have i embraced the truth and started living as if there is no tomorrow. I remember a Poster i bought during my pre degree days from Archies....live for today, plan for tomorrow, party tonight....i think i have made that my motto.
Life is filled with uncertainty, but i think i have accepted this uncertainty and changed it to my certainty...as the old saying goes...the only thing constant in this world is change....same way the only thing i am certain of is my uncertainty.
But friends, why should I ponder over why certain things happen certain way, when i really dont have any control over those happenings. What i can control, i do....what i cannot..i go along or i ignore it. A few days back, i would have been stressing over the fact...why i dont have control over those things....but hey if i had control over everything, Wouldnt I be God.
The throne has disappeared.....i have landed on my feet.....i have conceded to the fact that I am a mere mortal....i am gonna enjoy life....have fun.....and worry less...as it is our life is short...why spend it worrying.....

Sixty Days To Heaven- Piranna Nattil Virunnu Pokan
Fifty two months and a week, sounds like a loan repayment schedule, unfortunately for me it’s the time, I last step foot in my soil. Sixty more days and I will be home
Thirty days of pure happiness follows, favourite food, late night with cousins, occasional nap on Amma’s lap, catching up on news and stories, while she runs her finger through my hair, ignoring Appa’s where’s my coffee calls.
Lighting candles on Grandparents graves, mingling with the locals after Sunday Mass, coaxing ’chetthu vasu’ to give unadulterated toddy, enjoying ‘baby chayans’ nadan soda narenga, little pleasures, immense satisfaction, in Europe’s most vibrant city, I missed it all.
Going out in the evenings, returning way too early to Dublin standards, to be greeted by Amma at the door, to hear the ‘what time it is’ and see the when will you learn look, still she will sit at the dining table, watching her pride eat, mumbling nothings
Home is where my heart is , sixty more days to go, time flies, thirty days at home, its time to return, the goodbye hugs, the tears, the sadness, will they be there when I return, will they be waiting at the arrival lounge
Memories, memories of ‘God’s own Country’, kudos to the copy writer who wrote that, to brighten up even my dullest day, all I need is to think about home, my folks, my home, my city, sixty more days to sleep in my room….

Destiny & Destination
My life has to continue
I have to reach my destination
Let my destination be my destiny
Let my inner demons not stop me
Let heartbreaks not slow me down
My destiny let it guide me
Mountains, oceans and valleys
Hailstorms, earthquakes and landslides
Overcame all the hurdles
And sped towards my destination
No damsel will stop me, neither will my wants
My destination is my destiny, it will guide me
Time running out, obstacles a plenty
Stumbling blocks too many, my energy depleting
My life has to continue
My destination, my destiny
Am I not strong enough to continue this journey
So near my destination, yet so far
I have to reach my destination
Let my destination be my destiny
Let my inner demons not stop me
Let heartbreaks not slow me down
My destiny let it guide me
Mountains, oceans and valleys
Hailstorms, earthquakes and landslides
Overcame all the hurdles
And sped towards my destination
No damsel will stop me, neither will my wants
My destination is my destiny, it will guide me
Time running out, obstacles a plenty
Stumbling blocks too many, my energy depleting
My life has to continue
My destination, my destiny
Am I not strong enough to continue this journey
So near my destination, yet so far
