April Fool!

How life can change in a week! And that too in a total mixed bag.

On one end we were celebrating the arrival of a new joy to our family and very soon on the other end, tearful farewell to another soul! Mind and heart needs the power to handle and deal with situations that we have to face suddenly.

And such times are the ones when you see your parents and uncles/aunts at their emotional breakdown and you realize that you need to step up and take care of them and the roles have slowly reversed!

There are times I wonder why life is cruel also.

I got a chance to visit Vishranthi yesterday. It’s a place of destitute women. What started as a small Monday afternoon ladies club of meeting and sharing ideas and recipes and having “ladies time” soon turned to a charitable trust which led to this place called Vishranthi. Right now providing shelter for 170 women, this is one of the well known homes being run in Chennai.

Ironically, the woman who started this amazing service, Savithri Vaithi, is currently immobile and can’t talk. She has been like this for past 3 years! Seeing her like that broke our hearts and wondered what is there in life when a person who has done such wonderful deed in life and gave shelter and life to countless women has to suffer like this!

There are lots to cherish from the past, there are lots to think and feel for from the past but then we need to realize that it’s the present that is most important because there is a future lying waiting for us to make our present memorable for the past!


P.S – Too many things in my mind, especially emotions. This is just one of way of letting it out! 

P.S 1- April fool, well am sure you must have thought some hilarious post was coming up! :P Sigh. My pathetic attempt! (Just ignore it)

Please provide me the link for Vishranthi. Would like to know more about it. Please don't keep the emotions to yourself. Let it out via some form - blog or other source.

Twins!!

This is one of the most standard conversations that I’ve had with a new person (NP). Soundarya – Hi, I am Soundarya. NP – Hi. I am so-so. Soundarya – How are you? NP – Am good. You? What do you do? …. …. NP – You’ve Siblings? Soundarya – Yes, 2 Brothers. NP – Elder? Soundarya – 1 elder and another Twin. NP –Whaaaaaaaaaatttttttttt??? :o Soundarya – Yeah. I’ve a twin brother. NP – Do you look alike? Who’s elder? What’s he doing? How come he’s far away? I heard twins have same kind of feelings and that they are very close and inseparable.Do you both like same kind of food? Do you both wear same color clothes?and the list of questions goes on and on..… Well I have sort of condensed this conversation. It always amuses me to see the reaction the new person always gives when he/she comes to know that I am a twin. And the kind of questions they ask is dubious. Each time As I answer them and tell them we are just like any other brother-sister, the d...

The First Few Days In Cognizant

So Finally I joined Cognizant!! *Cheers* *Claps* *Laughs* Thank You, Thank You!!! :) I know for long time that I’ve been telling people that I’ll be joining Cognizant, but then I myself didn’t have any clue as to when! And now two weeks have passed. So how has been my time there?? Well …Really good… Lots of things have been happening. First and foremost is my laziness vanishing!! One year of vettiness(joblessness) has made me more than ever lazy(more lazy than I was before: :P). So now I have a nice schedule which keeps me busy! Secondly I have been meeting new people. I’ve to say that all the people in my batch are really friendly and nice. All of us are students of 2008 passed out batches but then seem like still college student! So we all are experiencing this transformation of college to corporate environment. Well cognizant campus itself is pretty good. Have been to two places and liked it. The environment and atmosphere and the p...

In the End, We all are same

W ho am I? Who are you? Who are the people surrounding us? When I say people, I mean parents, relatives, friends, crowd in the bus you travel, or the shopkeeper from whom you buy your dresses, or the maid who comes to your house etc. This is not a philosophical question or anything to do with philosophy. Of late, this question has been in my mind after observing a few things. Oh yes, I’ve been so jobless that I actually have started observing things ;) We all are so engrossed in our work, personal commitments, social life etc that we tend to overlook simple things in life. The purpose of life!! The other day, I was talking to my brother in Skype and my grandfather came. When he saw my brother in computer screen, he became so happy. As he cannot hear properly he’s not able to converse with any one in phone and seeing my brother like this made him so happy. He, like a small kid, told every one who came to ou...
