I read somewhere that tweeting is also like micro blogging. Not sure if I can use that as an excuse to not have written here for a very long time. But here I am at 3 am trying to write because I can’t sleep. I started using Twitter a lot sometime last year when I…
It was the year 2004 or 2005 I think. There was this serial on sun TV called Sivamayam. It was about siddhars and how they exist even at that point of time and what their powers are. It spoke of Ashtama Siddhi which roughly translates to eight levels of yogic achievement I suppose. Like it…
So yesterday I think I drew one of the best sketches I have ever drawn in my whole entire life. I am giving this much emphasis because it looks so good that I can’t stop staring at it and I am just so proud of myself. Just that I look around and I can’t find…
I just saw a friend of mine share her story and thought “Hey, So I am not the only one who had a similar experience…” When BLACK LIVES MATTER hit India it took a different turn. A turn I don’t think many people expected and even thought of. Us Indians are collectively called brown by…
When I was pretty young there was this series of self-help/spiritual article series that came out in a tamil weekly magazine called “Athanaikum Aasaipadu”. I never read it. Never had the interest to read it also. But those words stuck with me for some reason. It roughly translates to ‘Desire of Everything’ and frankly the…
My first major travel of 2020 is over and it was epic in every single way. Honestly I got cold feet just a couple days before the trip that I almost cancelled all my tickets. I had three different people from three different circles convincing me to just go on the trip. And oh my!…
A few years ago I came across this movie named Amélie. It was playing on some random channel in a hospital room. Since it was a french movie, I could do with the muted version and just the subtitles when my father slept on his bed peacefully. It had been such a depressing couple of…
Another gem in the Nandanam area. The Chamiers Cafe is such a nice place to hang out with friends, meet up with business partners or even sit by yourself and have a nice cup of coffee. The place is situated on a busy road and yet the cafe lets none of the noise get inside….
Located in prime Teynampet, this was a place I just stumbled into one fine afternoon when I was absolutely famished and had no food at home to go to. I had heard of this place a lot from friends but always thought that it was a date night or a girls brunch kind of place….
I am known to roam around by myself. And I love frequenting cafés with a book as my company. Now not all coffee shops are okay with a single customer using up a table for a while. So I thought why not identify places that are nice for a solo trip…. I had been hearing…
Every year I put up a post on what that year taught me. Usually it will be something on the notes of me getting stronger over the obstacles. 2019 was a tad bit different if I have to say so. There were a series of losses that began during late 2018 and continued well into…
Well towards the end of the year I kept seeing people debating about a certain mass entertainer movie. Whether it was good or not, whether it was a women empowerment movie or not, whether it was a sports movie or not… In that a lot of people missed out on an actual sports movie that…
I am sure this title would be self explanatory on what I am trying to talk about. It is this series called Modern Love that is streaming on Amazon Prime. It was making its rounds on social media and I was intrigued. So I sat down to watch it during some free time. And dayuummmnnnn……
My earliest memory of music was singing very wrong lyrics to a Tamil song that was played on Pepsi Ungal Choice and letting my aunt record it. This is the song, you guys can guess the wrong lyrics… After that it was a random song here and there but I was always obsessed with singing…
Normally I don’t catch festive release movies as soon as they come out. Just for the fact that I can’t hear any of the dialogues. I go to the movies to watch them in peace and appreciate the characters in it. But one lovely fan that I recently got acquainted with wanted me to watch…
