Hair cut in a parlour .

I always get my hair cut in a normal saloon .This time i decided to try a parlour . I know that both may mean the same , but the indian way of  defining a saloon and a parlour is completely different . The one with good stylish interiors , people in uniform , and that which charges more is a parlour .   I was wondering which one to try first among the 3 or 4 in my area .I just walked through the misty streets , drifting in my thoughts of what is going to happen after an hour .I was so worried about talking the decision to try something new . The first thing to come to my sight is “Foot fetish” .The moment i saw the word fetish i decided that this is where im going to do it or get it done .  I was like looking all around , assessing the interiors but at the same time , thiru thirunu mulikiraamaadhiri irukka koodadhunu , i was like , heads high , eyebrows raised and tried to manage a gethu look . Saw their pricing and i was glad that the hair cut was just 90 rs/- , but still its a 30 ext

Talking to old teachers - always a pleasure !!

Yesterday was the usual saturday as always . With my friends it was loads of fun , chatting , few fights and compromises and blah blah blah - the usual stuff !!! When things became a bit boring we wondered wat to do next . Then i came up with an idea to call our English teacher - Mrs.Anita Sateesh and convey our christmas wishes . I called her and just said “Merry Christmas” . “Hello !! Hari…eppadi ma irukka” - came her voice with so much warmth .I was very surprised .Its been a long time since we spoke to her , but still she remember my voice .That was just gr8 . “WoW! How did u recognize me , moreover im calling from a different number” . “Ethana varusham pazhagana kural . avalo seekiram marraka mudiyuma” . It felt really proud . I have always been special to most of my school teachers , but never thought she would remember my voice for such a long time …its been nearly 6 years .Talking with her made us all so elated , i just dont have words to express how i felt . We all spoke to he

Placement experience - Sara special !!!

For the request of the readers , here comes the untold story of the great Sara . As said in my prev post , myself and sara were isolated from the group . We were actually looking for a beautiful HR , to send our resumes to . But fate had its role to play . We were waved to a corner . A guy came and asked for our resumes and asked us to follow , i was quite but here comes the conversation between him and the ingenious sara . Sara : Oh! here is my resume sir ! Guy : Hmmm !! PRPC ! what is that ? Sara : It is petroleum and petrochemicals sir , petroleum but more chemical but specilization in petrol #$@## and blah blah blah ....(im sure he didnt get anything :-D) Guy : ( Confused )Oh ! fine . So you are interested in I.T uh ? Sara : Hmm..ahhh....hmmm .....not like that actually , not interested and all (I was like what the .....)....but wanted to , going to do MBA , so chose I.T ...really interested to work (ada goyango !!! enna da solla vara) Guy : Hmm. Oh! Ok then ...please be sea

Placement experience - The first and best !!!

It was 10th when i had my ppt for TCS placement . I entered college by  around 4 p.m.  I always see people chatting and laughing loudly all through the premises , but everything was different that day . The strong sense of seriousness spread all through my college .It was a strong aura and it was more strong near the auditorium . There were murmuring , whispers of so many questions , and a few giggles here and there . One could see the lines of questions running through everyone's mind as their face looked so grim as if they are about to enter a battle -a battle indeed but why so serious ?!! . The evening sun started to flicker , it went to sleep very soon that day . The darkness creeped in and so did the anxiety and tension . The ppt was over , was the usual kind  , with some really dumb questions from the students side which drove our director crazy . I dont think i can forget that face for sometime , he stared as though he was going to slice through , but not his fault , who wou

Norway is preparing for 2012 !!!!!

In a recent history channel video that i saw it has pointed out that Norway has begun preparations for impending doom in 2012. It can be implied by the article that Norway believes there will be a major catastrophe to occur in 2012 and in order to preserve our current way of life, Norway has created a “doomsday seed bank”. Yes, thats correct… that is Norway’s official name for their global seed bank. The ultimate goal is for the continued survival of plant species if (or when) there is a global disaster. This storage of crops/seeds will ensure regrowing of plants after the disaster and ultimately lead to the continued survival of human beings. Single entrance of Norways “Doomsday” seed vault.

Lovely Rain

The day light flickered with the light blue-black cloud covering the sun, curtains blew softly, in the slight breeze coming through the open window. I was sitting near the window staring out into the dark grey sky. The sound is calming, the soft patter of water falling on the roof tops. The rain drops are dancing with the ground and the tapping , Oh! its so wonderful .Birds chirping, sitting in pairs under the comforting shelter of the window sills ,and romancing. The rain is persistent, coming in thick sheets that cover the streets and side walks in a glistening layer of water. My eyes never phased out from the dark grey sky, lightning flashing every so often. I feel the cold hit my cheek and my fingers getting numb , i ve got goosebumps all over .Its just lovely . I only want to run to the cold and stand smiling in the rain .  -- Regards Hari Kumar.R

Dont compare with others in life for few things?!!?

I read a blog post recently saying that comparison is always bad and shows your are jealous and your inferiority complex and so on .I totally disagree with this . Comparison is definitely not something thats bad . We all have a role model and we do our best to be like one or at least follow their principles .I say, that is a way of comparison too and its good .This can be seen in every individual .Comparison leads to competitiveness and spirit to win or grow .So its definitely not bad .If India had not compared itself with other growing economies , we would not have grown so much . Development is purely based on comparison   . Its not for India alone but for any country for that matter .Jealousy , inferiority complex and blah blah blah all depends on an individual's perspective and this topic can never be generalized . Comparison is a good thing and it fuels growth . -- Regards  Hari Kumar.R

Placement fever hits

 After a long time , the moment we have all been waiting for has arrived . Right from out teen , we ve always wanted to go out , see what is there outside and what is waiting for us , and to become independent . The time has arrived to stand in our own legs , to buckle up for the race to grow and succeed in the corporate world . Its time for campus placements !!! . With so many companies lined up for recruiting , students are giving a sigh of relief . Most of 'em having made their decisions already, are gearing up for the interview . Few , wondering  how to prepare resume , some hitting their heads with all those aptitude books out there( ) , some confused on which company to choose and some are as cool as always , confident enough about getting placed , relying on their talents .Everyone is so excited about moving on for the next stage , its almost like waiting for the exam results .Placement fever hits all colleges . I wish everyone good luck for getting placed in the company the

Unbelieveable

This post is coming hot right after watching the ‘Into the unknown’ program of Discovery science channel  . Timbuktu had a lot of gold mines and still does .It was during the reign of Mansa musa , the place flourished .It had so much gold . The unbelievable thing is that they exchange gold for salt (weight basis) . I was shocked to see that . One man exchanged a thick gold bracelet for small lemon shaped piece of salt crystal .Wow!! The next thing is that , the people there give importance to their heritage than anything else . The nomads have the habit of digging deep holes in the desert and bury the ancient manuscripts which are considered to be precious . “We have lost everything , our heritage is what we have left and we would never let anyone take it away ” - this is what came from everyone when questioned about the books . Really Amazing . Timbuktu’s defeat in the battle against the Moroccan ruler who intended to take all the gold to build huge structures , left Tim

Ecstacy

Dark rainy clouds , rain drops gently hitting the window , a misty view of the streets , water running down the roads . It was a great weather .  The rain drops hitting the glass looked like it wanted me to open the window .I was worried i would get wet . But i couldn’t hold , i opened it . The rain drops caressing my face , the cold breeze’s scintillating touch , the music i was hearing , all these made it heavenly . I chided myself for not opening it earlier . She made me happy  - the rain . I wonder how many had fallen in love with her like i did .  But soon she disappeared ,leaving me desperate. She will return soon and give me the delightful experience as she did always  .

Mysterious Life

I met this guy in my coll . Actually the first one to whom i talked to . It was like we were friends for a year or so , then i had a huge misunderstanding with the gang and started treating them as my enemies . I hated him , wanted to slice him to pieces , even had dreams of annihilating him and his friend . But ,things changed - I changed . It was the influence of a friend . I think it was a good move to patch up with those guys again . I did , and it was kind a good - giving u an impression that you are actually a good and understanding person . It great great to have changed . I was once a complete egoist - not anymore .This is as far as the self-analysis goes .  Foe being a friend is quite a different thing .This guy showed me his version of fun and friendship . I didnt & dont want to get into  or accept his perspective but I still i liked his concept . I was the sensitive type - cant  take in , if anyone says anything wrong about me .I was known for my short temper .But now ,

Aravind's Golu

   Awesome singing , great fun ,  train travel , sweets and sundal  made last wednesday a memorable one . The travelling was great fun especially the part where swamy tried to catch the running bus and travel by footboard . Scene poda try panraan . But it didnt work out :-p    Aravind's golu was bright with so many idols , the marapachi and the panchamuka hanuman  were my favourite . Few of us sat in the hall and let the Golu room to the girls for singing , few went to his system . It was so much fun with the chem guys . I laughed a lot that day . Aswin , blessin paul and sriram was the crux of the fun or the target for everyone . So much fun , Thank god we were left alone .    Then we were served with the special sundal and milk (paal :-p) sweets , which everybody enjoyed a lot and kept asking for more until it was all over . Azar , though he was with us all the time , mysteriously evaded the crowd and had his private time in a special room :-p .     Among the girls amrutha and

A great evening

   A colorful page in my book of history .Yesterday , my friend sruti's house was crowded with us - her friends , honouring her invitation for the Golu . It was around forty of us under one roof other than our college's . Sruti inviting everyone is usual , but the unusual part is me attending the function with my friends .      First , the Golu experience . Sruti and her beautiful younger sister smriti welcomed us . I was imagining sruti to be naughty , but she looked just the oppsite . More like   Romba Nalla Ponnu   kind of look  . Her mom was so warm and that sundal was really good . She was a perfect host - making everybody feeling comfortable , and made the evening joyous with her talk  . When we were talking about our studies , she mentioned that education is just 10% but  skill and capability -the remaining 90%  marks the growth of a person . I really liked it . Our class super singer Sudharson sang a few songs for us and most of us really enjoyed it . Sini's dance

Traffic Chaos

         As usual , i was enjoying my bus ride to my college with the company of my favorite music . Things around me looked normal ,except that my bus was a little crowded than usual . My phone kept on vibrating with SMS's from my friends , questioning if i got a bus as they haven't and that there is a wave of tension spreading through out the city because of a fight between some political face and the bus drivers of a particular junction .I reached college and slowly others started coming in , a little late actually .         That wave of tension hit me when i left my coll . Friends of other departments were sending messages that there were no buses in the roads . I  kinda got nervous as i had tickets for endhiran and had to reach there in time .I was worried and there came to my rescue , my beloved 47-A .Got into it happily with all the tension relieved . But that calmness vanished when i reached T.Nagar . First the bus was diverted , the driver got confused , then came alo

A wonderful day with the Children of God .

Yesterday was a wonderful day. Had so many memorable moments to cherish for a lifetime .I have always loved being with kids , even my bro calls me Nehru mama , because when i was in school , ill be surrounded by kids during lunch . This happens even now if I visit my school . And , yesterday was a great day with the kids .First i made friends with Navin and Pon mani - 8th graders . The school , which was started by Father.Parampet , was intended to provide quality education for the children in that area . There is a hostel built  for the destitutes which was constructed  with the fundings from a welfare org - CUOMO  . My coll hostellers were in a Awe ! after seeing that , and they pitied themselves for the kind of hostel they have . It looked more like a resort from the outside  . The 12 of us left chennai by 7.00 A.M by train . I think it was nearly 2 yrs since i travelled by train . It was so much fun . Me , being the guy who hasn't wandered with friends a lot , found this en

What an idea !!!

         A recent news in a local daily  appreciated a man from Madurai named chinmayanandham . We all have studied and listened to so many lectures on “Say no to plastic” .But how many of us follow .Not even 10% . With so many problems like global warming  , sea level rise , etc ., what do we do as a responsible citizen to help and save nature in the least possible way that we could ? I guess the answer would be - Nothing !!! . Even I would go with the same answer as we people don’t mostly care of what happens to the environment .             In such a scenario , I was really moved to see a news that a meat shop owner from Madurai has taken steps to make people avoid using  plastic and  he has actually succeeded in that .He had announced a special offer to all his customers , that four eggs and a discount of four rupees , will be given for those who buy meat  in anything other than plastic .Initially his offer was two eggs and a two rupee discount  , which was not welcomed by the

Subconscious and Alcohol

                   A movie i saw recently had a scene wherein  two friends , completely drunk were crying for what they have done , sharing their deepest secrets and expressing their feeling of guilt . This made me think if they are speaking the truth under the influence of alcohol . Then i related the scene with what happens in our society . We would probably have seen many such incidents in television or real life .People out of control , people getting into fights , some laying unconscious in streets , crying out loud , laughing , talking to self  and so on . Then i thought if these people were bare inside , naive . I wanted to  know more about this , so i googled .                     I was wondering if this alcohol opens up their subconscious leaving them in some state of trance or dream  as in most cases they seem to give out their deepest stuffs - desire , emotion or whatever of that sort . Some websites state my opinion to be true and below is one such post                  

Wake up sid - What a movie yaar !

This post is coming at you right after i saw Wake up sid . Seriously What a movie yaar ! Great .many of my friends wanted me to see this , they were all praises for the movie . I got kinda more curious . Happened to get this movie from my friend Nisha last friday . Must Thank her first .Thank u Nisha !!!                      Ranbir's characterisation was great . Many scenes were memorable . Especially those shared by Aisha and Sid . Their frienship turning into cute love .It was nice .The kind of relationship they had , is what i dream of  having with my future partner - Best friends :-)!!(Hey guys Im not blushing!!!!).The Father-son , mother-son and almost all relationships potrayed in the movie was lively .                    One of my friends , asked me to text her , after seeing the movie , if i liked ranbir's or Aisha's stupid boss's character . Well !!!Ofcouse i like sid's .There is not much of a characterisation in Aisha's boss .She was actually in an i

Am i Jealous !

We had a combined Process economics class with the chemical students , so the class strength was around  100 .The scene came in the final half an hour of his class . He distributed randomly all our test papers and asked us to correct it . He was dictating the key words for all the answers , but nobody was actually interested in listening him , instead students were busy in doing  these ; "Machan , en paper un kitta iruuka da ?" ( do u ve my test paper? ) " Dei , enna pass panni vitudu da " ( please make me pass the test dude ) " Hey , unnakku 17/20 poduma ? " ( Is 17/20 enough for u ? ) - to close friends . I didnt like the whole idea of this and people asking for and doing such stupid favours in name of friendship . After the correction got over  , Our sir , asked us how we felt about the exercise  . I was the only one to nod my head meaning -not good - not fair . I got a bit more agitated when i saw my paper with 12 marks , I did well and i deser

Footboard Travelling

 Today , I was not at all interested in going to coll  to attend a seminar in the morning- compulsorily (thats what our class rep told us) .Usually we dont have class by that time on wednesday's , I go to coll only by 1 pm .Only the other elective students come to college by morning . Who in the world will go to coll only for a seminar thats not related to you in anyway !!! But the rain saved most of us from the blade .It was heavily raining when i was in the bus .I saw so many school children , probably 6th to 8 th level , travelling in the footboard , even if there were space inside .When i got the info the the classes for that day has been cancelled , i got down by valluvar kottam and was waiting for a bus to home .It was then , i happened to listen to this conversation ; Boy 1 : Machan vaada , indha bus la poyidalaam , gaaliya irruku . Boy 2 : Dei poda , kootama edavadhu varattum Boy 2 : Hey va va , indha deluxe bus la pogalaam (it was fully packed) Boy 1 : Dei adhula door

A Promising Team .

  The team - the office bearers for the AOT has been selected . Well , that happened a week before . Members were selected without much chaos . There were some minor disputes - unexpected., but the issues were all settled down quite calmly and quickly. Coming back to the team , its well cemented with friendship ,with no cracks , anywhere . Its actually a very good thing. With the members gelled well , there will be pucca co-operation , proper flow of information and a better execution of the plan . They have started their work already . With such a well blended supportive team , a totally different , innovative & a better Chemfluence can be expected . Im confident that they will live up to the expectations . Wishing them great success !

Friendship Day

  The day started with me receiving so many text messages , that  kept my phone beeping for quite a long time . I didn't respond to any , because i personally don't have any interest in this and i dont find the whole concept of alloting a particular day for this , logical . Monday was asusual boring , with some boring lectures in the morning and         an O.K sort of lab , with greetings and wishes all around  , in the air . Then came the "annoyingly friendly"- Mr.Shahid .He wanted me and other two of my classmates to come to the canteen . After some silly scenes and chatting , he got us some drinks , and started giving speeches like , Thanks for being my friend , I value u people so much and ....i hope u can frame the rest. I was quite surprised with his speech and the formal words of his but it was his way of expressing his feelings and it was kind of  nice . Its actually nice to know that a person respects u so much and has given you some space in his world .Ofcou

Word Master - A perfect aid for competitive exams - Audiobook

Word Master - 2006 With its smoothly alternating male/female narration and its soft, "suggestopedic" (classical) background music,  "Word Master" audio tutor enjoyably introduces and explains 500 mostly well-chosen words.  A tiny minority of the words in the initial unit might seem too commonplace to be included in such a tutor; on the whole, however, the range of vocabulary seems appropriate not only for advanced high school students  or graduates but also many university graduates .This would serve as a perfect aid for those preparing for  competitive exams.Relax ,Enjoy and Learn .    Download Link - Torrent     

Have had enough for a day

Why the hell do people consider differences to be psychotic . In my previous post , i said i wont come , and the direct reason is just that i dont like it . Everyone considers roaming and just going out with friends is fun , Well ! I see it in a different way .Right after posting it, I received a call from my friend . He started like " nee yaenda ivvalo mosama ayite " (why ve u become so bad ? ) , as if its a big crime .Then he went on saying that im immature , narrow minded ,insane psycho . Saying that I dont like it , is psychotic? , and i was cursed that i  will regret all that .Why would I regret , if i consider it not even worth thinking about .It was 9min 44sec and i heard all that i needed to , and that too from friends .Looks like none have accepted me as what I am .Funny!!!

Finally!!!

  Finally we have got what we were very badly in need of . It is a fact that a person needs both knowledge and language to survive and shine .The very bad state of our class is that , most of the top ranking students find it really hard to frame even a sentence and end up losing the race . There are lot of factors like hesitation , fear of making mistakes ., etc., but many dont realize that one has to overcome all these to master a language .I was always hoping for something to make them overcome the difficulties in handling a language and be interview-ready . All thanks to Dr. Nagendra gandhi , who is the faculty in-charge for our Comprehension and communication improvement . We had his first class today and was really promising . His way of making students to overcome hesitation was unique and effective .Most of them had their legs shaking , voice breaking  and heavily sweating , once they were on stage .But , it was a good start .In a few months time I see my class , being able to a

Puzzled!!!!!

           Well ! I saw a movie today - Triangle 2009 .My friend said it was a nice movie and not to read any reviews before watching the movie. The movie starts off in a promising way , takes you with it and does not leave your mind even after its over . Its a mystery mind-twister .Right after 10 min of run time u start thinking and stay thinking even after its over.New things are added up , when least expected and explained quite well . This movie left me scratching my head  .  There are a few scenes when u really start blinking and try to figure out  what the hell happens there .I am not clear if i liked the movie , but i didnt hate it . Triangle - a complex mystery thriller that demands your attention and leaves you scratching your head when its over .

Last week of my holidays !

                 Last week of my holidays .Im enjoying it to the core with my family . What is more superb than enjoying a movie with your family and that too in your home sitting or lying down comfortably . Telugu movies all through the week .Was enjoying them !!! Thank God they all had subtitles in english that help me go on with the movie and enjoy it to the fullest .Of all the movies i saw , Leader - 2010  impressed me a lot .I saw it twice in the same week , was really great .But today has been the worst day for me this year .There was no power supply in my area since yesterday night , due to rains .Got it back only now. Aaarg !!! No power , no computer(i spend almost all my with it) , no charge in my phone and ipod  , it was like beind in a strange island all alone . Bloddy hell!  But, Thank God it came now.

Annoyingly Friendly !!!

  Mohamed Shahid , my class mate , an ambitious, hard working , annoying and overall a different personality .People find it hard to share time with him due to his nature .But myself and my friend saravanan were the only ones of our class who were atleast a bit closer to him. He shares almost all of his opinions with me .This guy has an unusual habit of calling me everyday by 7 or 8 pm and talk some non-sense over the phone (i mean - just mokka) .It was very annoying for me in the beginning . When my friends asked me why i still hang out with him , i just said that it was for some courtesy .But actually I was wrong .His annoying calls later turned out to be a usual thing everyday .I started to miss his calls when he didnt call me .And i was really pleased that this guy called me almost everyday even during the holidays , no matter where he is . Then i realised his affection or friendship for me . Though his calls were annoying , i missed it , when he forgot to do so. This annoying Frie

I just dont like it !

I am friendly with almost everyone i meet , but that doesnt mean that they are my friends. My way of choosing friends is different and I keep each one in each stage . I prioritize people , and i think its really good . The higher stage they are in , the closer they are to me .I dont like someone out of my circle to comment on me . Recently a guy , a senior to me in college , commented on one my photos in a way which i didnt like .I was very much irritated to see someone out of my legion , my world to comment on me that way . It actually made me extremely angry and asked him for an explanation , and an apology .He simply calls it to be a joke and calls me sensitive .Who wouldnt be , if some stranger comments on them . Sensitive I am ! but not to those around me , For I have enough self-respect and ego , if u would like to call it that way , to show my anger to that stranger who comments on me . I would be the most friendliest person , for a stranger to meet and talk with . But im just t

An adventurous voyage !!

Holidays !!! Really boring, with no serious work to do I just killed my time, playing some games and watching movies . It was damn so bad without friendly arguments , fights ,etc.,I miss all those . I'm waiting for my college to reopen . One fine day , when i was day dreaming , as i usually do when i have no stuff to do , i saw a great golden lion running towards me , and there a bulb glowed above my head , an idea !. I planned to go to narnia ., as in harry potter , I used my mp3 player as a portkey to get there . Got onboard the Dawn Treader , finished my voyage with King Caspian's crew and explored the wild east .It was a great adventure , with the death lake , dufflepuds , magician , sea-serpent , and ofcourse with my favourite Reepicheep . Now that my voyage is over , Im on a mission to find the Silver Chair . Hope the mission is as adventurous as always.

What a rainy day !!!

It was raining when I started for training from my home . As usual the bus seats were all wet which left me standing for more than an hour . My classmate joined me with the travel to perungudi .We had an instinct that the hostellers wont come today and it was proved correct from a message from them. Anyway they are not to be blamed ,Who can ride a bike when its so darn rainy .The whole estate was flodded .We both reached the company , informed that others wont come and started to look into some of their Purchase Documents .The funny and the interesting part started when we went for lunch .It was raining so hard and loud that left everyone there amazed .I ve never witnessed such a noisy rain which was almost like ripping the asbestos ceiling away . We were not able to bear the force of it . The rain made its way to the room , almost breaking the door. When it went calm , we started from there and saw the effect of its force with signal posts and trees pulled off the ground. Somehow we g

First day of Training

View Full Album Just another training , but the special thing about the company than others is the kind of rapo between the employers and employees .Even work is made done perfectly not with fear but with respect and loyalty .Our training started with a small presentation and we were separated into batches and its like , one day – one department thing .I wont say it was superb , but was o.k. The biggest part of the first day story was my travel .I missed buses , got down in the wrong stops , got irritated with a share auto wala who took me 4 km away from the exact location and got back finally after so much chaos . By the time i reached there i was almost exhausted .But the air conditioned ambience made me quite comfortable . Though it was depressing in the morning , we managed to take some photos when we started from there .On the whole my first day was  convincing but not interesting .

Sweet - Kaaram - Kaapi

That's how i would define my examinations .It strated with a sweet - Numerical techniques which was damn so easy and everyone had the  "I did well"., kind of expression on their faces .The next two exams were packed with extra spices , it was too hot .Cre and Heat Transfer were just pefect mirchi masala , though it didnt make our eyes watery it made most of us feel uncomfortable ,left us pretty much worried .The next three exams were like exquisite south indian filter coffee as they were very warm to us and made us feel way too happy ,and  there was even extra sugar with Process instrumentation , as most us finished in around 2 hrs and got almost all answers right .Finally comes Energy Engineering , no one even bothered to care about it as it was the best platform to unleash our story writing skills , and everyone wrote their own version of the story .Exams are all over , but I hope god showers us with a wonderful rain to bring us out of the mirchi effect .:-)

The Power of Nature

                            Somewhere in the nooks and crannies of my brain, I know of the many wonderful things that Nature has in store.In the beats of my heart, the marrow of my bones, the globules of my blood, and the acid chains of my genes, I feel a kinship with the nature .I believe in the  total supremacy of her and have always tried to commune with  her forces .I sometimes let the wind guide me .Trees are one of the manifestation of Her that one can easily commune with.  I feel myself at home when standing in their shadows, when wending between their trunks proud and tall. I feel an ever-urgent urge to get lost amongst them, give them all a big old hug, and soak up their secrets and wisdom .my mind finds spirituality in nature .I realised and got to know more about them through Paulo Coelho’s books.The conversations between characters about nature and its awesomeness caught my attention and i really liked it and could easily relate it with my kinship with nature .  Every movem

Windows Live Writer
