CURRENT MISSION

25 by 25 - 25 Things to do before I turn 25, you never know when you might dig the mud 6 feet deep

ABOUT ME

I blog a lot, therefore I write a lot. I can get rhymes done so that sort of made me a poet as well. I can cook really bad food that's somehow edible still. I enjoy early morning and late night walks. Enjoy late night drives even more.

I love to travel - see things that can't be captured on the camera, talk to people who are insignificant otherwise to many, with smaller groups than big. Haven't traveled outside my country but have been to a lot of nooks and corners within India.

I talk a lot though tend to get tongue tied in front of strangers, so I hope that you bail me out by talking more when we meet. I also have this unrelenting need to impress people around me and I end up cracking bad jokes in the process, I speak in low tones so that is not a bother really..

I also write the most soothing thought provoking stuff ever written on the web, I am serious.

PHILOSOPHY

I am not one to fight fate, destiny and all that. I never harbored aspirations either to be anything out of the ordinary, yet I had to deal with those that go beyond the ordinary ..or so I thought till I saw the long horizons of the ordinary. Yes it has been interesting, yet it has been ordinary. I seek nothing more anymore than the ordinary.

The in the distance comes the sunlight
Somehow I no longer wish to grab it
The chain is set free
The key was locked in my desire

Extract of a post from my blog when I was in a reflective mood. We all pursue a way out of mediocrity, CS is one such an abode really, but I think these days that mediocre is okay really.. character has to reach heights not the person

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked in to the cabin of the SSP (the top cop guy) of Pndi without any reason, chatted with him for 5 10 mins and came out as if I just climbed the Everest bare feet.

Took a 12 day journey across India - Mumbai-Chennai-Calcutta- Delhi - Mumbai without any plan

Was at Shimla without a heater in my room or bathroom in the cold winter of February

The peaks at Kalka in Jammu Kashmir took my breath away literally

The food in Chandini Chowk in Delhi is the best I have had, oh wait the food in Pondi was great too

Have entered a fifth floor flat from it's balcony

Went over 150kph in my dinky zen

What is one amazing thing you have seen or done in your lifetime? - Don't think I have, and I think all things I have done have been amazing

Teach, Learn, Share

I have seen with a lot of travelers that they tend to generalize practices of natives as culture, I disagree and that's what I want to share and teach. An therefore, I would also like to learn habits, practices, customs and cultures.
