My Diminutive Paradise

      The mist in front moved away , and I walked over the grass field still damp with the dew settled in , making my bare feet wet and muddy . A single tree , caught my attention with its shiny red fruits glowing in the early morning sun . The field was empty except for that tree . I strolled towards it , taking in the beauty of each moment . Closer I went and realized it was an apple tree . I stood there thinking if it was the tree from the book I read recently . Hoping it will move away when I touched , as it did in the book , I went near it and placed my hands on its shiny smooth barks , gently . It didn’t move . Glad with the thought it was not the one from the book I reached for an apple .  To my surprise the apple dropped down from the branch and flew away . “How extraordinary!”,I thought . Soon , the apple came back towards me and started circling me . Astonished and happy , I stood there smiling , wondering what it is going to do . The other apples fol...

     Never had I been this interested in a book . Never before , did a book leave me asking for more . Never did I expect a book that wasn’t a best seller to enthrall me .  It was Lisa.T.Bergren's . A religious historical thriller . The first book in the series – A novel of the gifted , The Begotten is an appealing story with historical detail that will take you slowly but effectively into its plot and will have you cheering and asking for more . It is not a usual book that you may come across with some drama , some over etched fantasy and dumb action . This book is different and portrays faith in such a way that it gets into you .                                         Now , after this I have been searching for the next two books in the series but in vain . I am an audiobook gu...

               " I need an invite " , ""Please send me an invite " , were the anxious crowd when G+ stepped into the battle arena of social networking sites , and taking a head on fight directly with the master - fb . People were cheering in favour of G+ . The mere excitement of seeing something new and that too from google , made the crowd go behind G+ .  I was also a part of that mob.                 So what does G+ have in special ?? More privacy , Circles (cosmetic effects is'nt gonna do any good ) , and so on an so forth , but nothing unique . A friend of mine just commented that , G+ is nothing but fb's clone .  The only main attraction of G+ was the video chat room facility named Hangout . That is a real deal maker .                 There were jokes and funny cartoons of fb going...

             It is quite common among us , to visit a imaginary world at  times . A place where the word Reality has no meaning  . With the regularity of things happening around us , the cycle that going on and on ., everyone needs a place to have a break . Imagination is the key .  I lost mine , but not any more .                          Songs found a place in my playlist , after a very long time . Enya , Regina Spektor and Celine Dion , entertained me . I must admit , they were really good ., especially Enya .  But the thing with songs is that , the lyrics lay fences to your imagination . Close your eyes , listen to songs and the lyrics take you  no-where  new . On the other hand , movie soundtracks and audiobooks , leave you free . There are no limits with instrumentals and soundtracks (fantasy movies) , they can take you as far as you wish to go ...

     The dependent phase of life is over . Work is interesting and is better than what i imagined it to be . Friends , at other IT companies shared their dislike on the training program , which had loads of boring lectures , but here , in my place its a different story altogether . Here , its less time in class rooms and more time in the work zones . Putting us in a Project sorta environment is  cool , stops us from dozing off .   So , what is this post about ? . Ranting ,my company is this and that and its better than others ? - Nope . Its about  the special things and  special people  . FRIENDS : What would anyone do , when they get into a new place ? - Make friends ! and i made loads of'em . A few of  which , i believe will stand for a long time . Its one of the very important things that keeps you latched to your work place . Im glad i have made so many friends , really glad . Bewildered , excited and nervous , were the fa...

  (An attempt in writing a story) Breathing heavily , soaked in sweat and hands stained with blood they both kept running through the dark pathway , surrounded on both sides by life-less trees and ravens feeding on dead bodies . It’s a place where no light can enter . It’s a road , taken by many in recent times . “We have been running for a long time and we have crushed many lives ” , said one of them , worried . “Don’t think about the past my friend . We have to do this . We have to , for what lies at the end of this road ” , replied another , with stern determination and scratching the big scar on his cheek he added  , “It is necessary that we waste them . We should be the only one to own that ” . Together than ran , not stopping for anything and not knowing what lies ahead . All they wanted was to reach the end of it . Blood splashed from the roads when they ran . They stopped suddenly hearing a low moan from the mist the stood before them . They glanced at each other...

  The most important question :   The mystery of whose story it will be......of who draws the curtain. Who is it that chooses our steps in the dance? Who drives us mad......lashes us with whips......and crowns us with victory when we survive the impossible? Who is it that does all these things? Who honors those we love with the very life we live? Who sends monsters to kill us and at the same time sings that we'll never die? Who teaches us what's real and how to laugh at lies? Who decides why we live and what we'll die to defend? Who chains us? And who holds the key that can set us free?     It's you. You have all the weapons you need. Now fight.   * Quoted from the movie Sucker Punch *
