Its a happy friday afternoon. Planning to go home early today. TII will be moving to a new place, farther from the city. ...Doesnt bother me much 'cos it doesnt make a difference to me. But I'm looking forward to the long weekend when the shifting happens.

I came to blog for a completely different reason. I want you to enjoy what i'm doing while writing this blog. Before you read on take a moment for urself. Take a deep breathe & relaaaax. make sure that the place around you is calm.
Play song the 'TIME' from the album 'Dark Side of the Moon' by god.

I'll wait until you find the song on your comp/CD.
...

Now read the lyrics as you listen to the song

Time
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say

Breathe (Reprise)
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells

It's xactly how i feel these days.


I did this 4 times now....feel like listening it just one more time.

(I sure hope you have the song. If you havent got it, go buy one now!)

It has been a long time since i posted anything. there were many half attempts in writing one but somehow things didnt fit. The singular reason being my laziness. mea culpa.
...So its time i revisit my nearly forbidden site.... finally there was time to refurbish my blog-site. i like the camouflage the dark color settings gives to my writings. but i still loathe the traffic signals right above the blog. Shouldnt be cribbing too much if i'm not blogging often.

My cousin got married recently & the occasion demanded a formal wear. Me & my brother decided to go for the suit while satish (anu's brother) went for the sherwani. Apparently the suit suited me well for there were audible gasps in the hall when i was around & my aunts spent a minute more with me to talk about my well being... The function was a lot of fun. We kept teasing Anu & Rajesh most of the marriage. The couple looked charming together. Anu especially was looking awesome!
...After the marriage, I went to trissur (www.thrissur.com) with my parents & relatives to attend the reception there. We arrived in trissur the previous day & checked in the local hotel. It was located in the heart of the town, in MG Rd, & we were given the 6th floor. The view from the room spanned the entire town. the place was way too rustic & green for my eyes & i really love the place. There is a huge Shiva temple right opposite to the hotel & the locals say that the town is built around it. 'Theocentric' place, shall i add. The food though, i wouldnt say was heavenly, just typical kerala food with lots of coconut oil ...but it was ok, i'm used to it.... After resting awhile we went to rajesh's home. it is located about 10kms from the hotel we stayed, and the house seemed to be in the middle of a small forest. the road leading to the house was so narrow that two vehicles cannot cross each other unless one decides to take his vehicle into a nearby house. i sweared to god i'll never bring me car to a place like that ....we settled down & while the elders were talking about the weather & nearby temples to visit & other such interesting stuffs, me, my brother & my cousin decided to slip away from the place & check out the weather ourselves. As we were walking along a nearby field a local there came upto us & asked
'Saarina desam enda?'
I said '..er Rajesh veedu', then satish added 'RAJVIHAAR' pointing to the house.
the man looked a bit puzzled and modified the question.
Now i thought he wants to know what we were to Rajesh, so i decently said 'naangal rajeshikki relatives aaganam' satish trying to make it easier for the man, said 'sambandigal aakkum'.
By now the man giving up said 'Me kerala... you where?'
'tamil nadu le chennai.....er.. actually bangalore ...' i replied, embarassingly.
we heard a relieved 'good' from the man before he left the place. all the while my brother was having good fun hearing our replies to him. ....'so much for my malayalam' i thought. I'm sure Anu is going see lot more of these when she stays there ;)

...i later hear that 'sambandigal' was a local pallya they make. had a hearty laugh after hearing it from rajesh.
