Food Review - Raaj Bhavan, Purasaiwalkam

I was freaking hungry. I am always hungry is a different deal. After a disappointment shopping trip and missed lunch, I went to Raaj Bhavan. Tiffin or Meals asked the waiter. After thinking for quite some time, We settled for Schewan Fried Rice and American Chopsuey. Sounds fancy right. Maybe not the kind of food, I was hoping for. But my hungry pangs managed to convince my fluctuating mind. After waiting for 15 minutes, the food arrived. The fried noodles was hard and the sauce did not do much to soften it. The taste was Indochinese. I even wondered if it was Made in China. The food managed to satisfy my hungry pangs. But left my taste buds to crave for more.

The Schewan Fried Rice was red in colour. I was even calculating the amount of damage the spices  might do to my stomach lining. The minute I tasted it, My worries was lost. It did not have any flavor it. I was shocked. I saw a different variety of the spicy schewan fried rice. The chilli was replaced with the kesari powder. The only thing which popped up in my mind was Do as the Romans do in Rome. Raaj Bhavan , known for its south Indian delicacies has a long way to go in Chinese. With a heavy stomach and a sad tongue, I continued my shopping spree

Hey Ocean, Here I come

If you could plan your death, how would you plan it? #PlanUrDeath  This is a very interesting thought. The thought itself is enough to chill our bones. Death is something which is beyond our control. It is the unconquered kingdom. It is something which we cannot predict nor decide. It happens in its own phase, in its own time and in its own style. Still given as a chance. It would be the most exciting and interesting event to plan.  My death will be combination of the things I love. I would try to make it as interesting as possible.  Goodbyes are very important to me. It gives a proper ending to our life. The problem with death is we never have time for good bye. The person suddenly disappears leaving a vacuum behind. This leaves the loved ones feeling lost. I will write a proper goodbye to all the important friends and enemies. Sometimes the people who make us cry are the people who has created a great impact on them. I would try to forgive the people who have hurt...

Rock to Sculpture

Every person we meet creates an impact on us. The way the impact works is quite surprising. Sometimes the impact created by a stranger is more than the impact by a close friend. I always consider life as a block of coal or a big piece of rock. The journey from Coal to diamond or Rock to sculpture takes a lot of time and can also be painful. It does not happen with a single person or with a single incidence. The conversation process is continuous and can happen till our last breath. We get better and better with age and experience. I have never managed to understand when a person reaches his best. Maybe the level is unattainable. Still changes, both ups and downs happen throughout our lives. I remember an innocent hyper girl who wore sensitivity on her sleeve. The smallest spark was enough to set her on fire. She was on the extreme of emotions. The emotions can range from Happiness, sorrow, loneliness and anger. Still the emotions controlled her and stole her sleep many nights. ...

30 minutes

The train came to a halt with a jerk. I gripped the support railing for balance. So did the people around me. Something felt different. The people and the surrounding was new and strange. I felt as though I was transported magically to an alien land. The people around me was busy in their own world. Some in their thoughts and some in their phones. At every stop a war brewed between passengers fighting over to get down and trying to board the train. I calmly stood there trying to understand the surroundings. Yet I could sense a Storm inside me. Like a programmed robot, I got down in a station. I stood there watching the train continue its journey. It was then I realised. Where the hell am I and who am I. I had no memory of both the things or anything for that matter. I sat in the nearest stone bench and tried to absorb the activity around me. I glanced at the phone and it read 9.00 pm. I tried to make a call and could not remember the pattern. The activity around me slowly became thinn...
