Working from Home

It's been a month since i started working from home. I think i have addressed the biggest pain point of my official life in chennai. Staying indoors has its problems like claustrophobia, laziness and lack of appetite .The last one is serious .I have lost some 7 kgs since May 28'th . Gosh!

Work has been quite interesting. I also managed my first night out last week,without much hassle. Missed a nice weekend trek thanks to work . I am not complaining ,coz the month before that was paid vacation (tax free ) .

My running regimen has gone for a toss .The max i ran after eaching chennai was 6 kms a month ago.The marathon looks like a distant dream. I watched a few movies Sivaji-the last 10 mts were a treat for rajni fans, One crap mallu movie, Apocalypto -super movie esp the jaguar chasing the mayan was wow!! , Music and Lyrics -cute and Cheeni Kum -Illayaraja's BGM was surreal.

I'll be stationed in chennai till the the end of August atleast. Like every city i have lived in Chennai took me a while to get adjusted to.Sometimes i wonder do cities rub off some of thier character on us ?...

I thought the crowd lacked discipline , quite few cell phones ringing and people leaving the concert before the mangalam piece. My dad told me about the mylapore 'mess'(mess= restaurant) culture. We went to Mylai mess that was opposite to the B.V.B hall for dinner. The place has hardly been renovated and maintains its old legacy even today. The menu card is also very typical of the Madras tiffin culture . I had Badam halwa , Kichadi and podi dosai for dinner. As usual I must elate... it was Yummm!!! Not the most cleanest place but yes i felt the place has preserved its soul :-).The

Covid 19 and Work from Home

Its been 4 years since I wrote a line here. 2020 has been mostly peeping out of my window in Bangalore and nothing much!  I feel the urge to change- shake it up a lot these days. The mind tells me I haven't found what I am looking for... Discovered Chris Martin and Cold play :-) Yaay! Feels like the real life starts after 40. The optimism and adventure of younger days  have given way to accepting life's realities
