This December Definitely !

This one to cherish these moments for a lifetime, a piece of love straight out of my heart..


I know no better words, though this piece deserves better,

You must be grateful that I am not writing a letter 

I must unload this overjoyed overfull heart of mine,

I am brimming with laugher and my eyes shine

Subhashree confirmed just a 100 times, if these are savings accounts

In flight we learnt that winning is not the only thing that counts

Appam at that place was the best meal that was had

Walking past the scrambly route, we all were sunset clad

We had wings to fly, we flew far and further

Couldnt ask for more, we had Kalia, Gulabo and the Silver surfer

Lions rock was a cake, how young we were

The bus ride was not, that uncle made us suffer

The crow at the station found an apt place to shit

"Dont look up", I think we liked, though a little bit

The overenthusiastic kids on the train, made our ears bleed

But in Mr student, we found a friend indeed

We all caught cold under a star studded sky

Enticed by the mighty Ramboda, who cared we stay dry

Hattan, Maskeliya, Nelladeniya we hopped

Donuts, and Pizza and sugar buns we shopped

11200 steps were compensated by the glorious sunrise

Though avoiding Adam and beating the Syrian would have been far more wise :)

At Hansa Villa, 23 we all pretended to be

Next whole day, were just for Wilson, sun and the sea

Galle was a beauty, we might never forget

500 LKR on Covid result was definitely a worthy bet

Scuba, Ishaara, babygirl were the bells that rang during the day

New Years under the stars by the sea, there was nothing else to say

Start to the year was counting breaths under water at the Jungle beach

Una to Colombo, through sunset and rainbows, too soon did we reach ?

At A2B it started, at A2B it would end, 

life comes a full circle, just like this my friend

It was coming to an end, I asked time to stand still,

But we had to part ways, for sure against our will !

These words by far, are too small to measure those days,

Its just an effort, those moments gone, and I WISH TO CHASE..!!

As we Part...!

This is all the courage I could gather to put down the avalanche of memories and thoughts rushing to my mind at the rate of 1Gigabytes per second..This is to the place which made or unmade me...K Forever! Living in the fear of having to go separate ways brings pain All my efforts to hold back and let go have gone in vain Every passing moment brings conflict and choices One last time is all I can hear among all the voices! Lost in the sea of where to be and what to be Everything shall pass and yet I want to hold on to thee! I shall never return and this is where we part But to thee I promise, we carry a piece of each other’s heart!

Ode to Chennai

Dear Chennai, As we part ways I wish to tell you that you are special to me. I know people from my part of the world won't understand, but its between you and me and the bond we share...  All I want to say to you is... As I landed here a year back, you opened your heart to me, You never demanded allegiance, you earned it from me With your soothing sea breeze and mesmerizing sunrise, I cocooned into your warmth, each day grew wise You were relentless at times, with blazing sun in the sky, But you were teaching me patience, so I now know why You got back on your feet, when nature struck you hard, With magnanimity and strength, you rejoined each shard I deserved all on my plate, you only served me sweet, Your Rajini craze and Murugan Idly, no city in the world can beat Not a single day that I spent with you, do I regret I always am, and will always be glad that we met.

Becoming a demanding reader !

I started reading as a casual reader, more so driven by the perception of reading rather than actually being driven by the need to read. I started with fiction, gradually drifted to non-fiction but never really had a sense of direction about what to read and hence largely dependent on reviews from co-readers to arrive at my next book. However I have lately started thinking about reading for understanding the world better, for creating my mental models of decision making, to enable choices and to understand concepts I think are far more complex than I can process. And in the process, make effort to remember what I read and also hone my abysmal writing skills.  Hence this is an introductory post of my first book review, to summarize my learning and understanding of the last book I read - Made in America by Sam Walton. Deriving inspiration from an article I read on Farnam Street , I will structure my reviews around the following questions and continue improvising as I go along. This
