It's all cringe till it happens to you.

I was returning back to Chennai from bangalore after a team trip to Chickmangalore. The previou night I was watching the movie 'The blue beetle'. In the climax there is a long scene where the Blue Beetle is about to die and he has a conversation with his late father. There are so many super hero movies with scenes like this and I felt that it was too cringe and skipped to the end. 

Back in Chennai, I decided to take the train from Park station to Tambaram. While I was about to board the train, someone pick-pocketed my phone. I realized this as soon as I got in and quickly got down. This was my favourite Galaxy S22 Ultra and I naturally panicked, felt a sudden gush of blood and immediately sat down. 

The next thing I remember I was in some conversation with my daughter when I felt few people shouting and trying to lift me up. 

I had fainted and was in a cringe scene with my daughter!

Pointless Cravings #1

 I am a vegetarian,  my wife's a non vegetarian. My 9 year old daughter is still figuring out what to be but somehow all these years of her avoiding meat has made me think that she is doing it for me. 

I wouldn't mind it if she decides to take her mother's side but still...

Everyone's an Atheist

Atheists should understand that no now really believes in God anymore and that most of the Theists are purely opportunists. Please stop arguing with them.

If I were to kill stalker Sathish and went to court and said God made me do it, I am absolutely sure no one would believe it. But, if a child was praying for money to pay his/her school fees and I happened to help him/her then these same people would grab the opportunity to say "See, God sent you to help the poor child".  

Nostalgia II

Was browsing through the net and suddenly landed on a blogger site that was using the exact same theme as this one. I hadn't even logged into this account in a long time and intruded by nostalgia came here to see how were things. 

 For some unknown reason 'Blogs I follow' sunk my heart. All those amazing blogs seemed as abandoned as this one. I remember eagerly following Lightning Strikes Everyday and Magix 'n' Curses back then and try as I might I can only image reading those blogs on a cool rainy evening. 

 Guess I am not unworthy of nostalgia after all.

Nostalgia I

I think I am unworthy of nostalgia. The place that I grew up for 25+ years seems alien to me. I've been away for only five years but I don't seem to miss anything. Why?

The Journey Begins

All through my life I had considered myself as an un-emotional guy. No, I wasn't proud of it. I could cry easily when watching a Pixar movie, get extremely angry seeing all the atrocities committed in my country, feel sad for that little dog... but when it came to real people - be it my parents, wife, brothers or sisters, I had to fake it sometimes.

Somehow I had become detached from people. My obsession with logic blinded me from understanding human emotions and my sarcastic smirks only widened this gap. Its a miracle my wife fell in love with me ( I am thankful for that :) ).

And then my niece was born. She was the first person in the world who brought real joy to me. In a way she also made my wife fall for me. She taught me to care, play and pulled me away from this online world. In spite of all this, as an uncle I still did not have one thing - responsibility. 

Today my daughter was born. The moment I took her in my arms she showed me what real emotion was, that pain of waiting showed me how much I loved my wife. Every moment with her gives me unfound energy and responsibility.

Responsibility can change you a lot.

I am suddenly more confident, feel like starting all over, learn new things .. becoming a kid at 30 is great!

Of the all the things in this world, the joy of becoming a father to a little girl is unbound. The movies weren't lying after all.

I am a paranoid guy and am sure to be an over protective dad. I do hope one day she'll understand and say I am the best dad in the world. 

The Grass is Not Always Greener on the Other Side

When I was in primary school I used to think that life would be much better in high school, when I went to high school I hated Chemistry and thought life would be better off in college, made it to college and again felt 'Work Life' would be much cooler.

It took me some time to enter the 'Work Life'. Summer came and to my horror realized that I was no longer entitled to 'Summer Vacation' .. and went back to feeling miserable.

Its been nearly six years since I started working now. My office is located near a school and a few days back I left early, right when the school closed for the day. Don't know why but when I looked at them I suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Holy moly! I am out of school.
