Sigh

I am back in chennai after a 5 month break. This is the first time i am starting to feel the pinch of this double digit inflation. I realize that my pay hike has been nullified by the rising prices. Hovewer there is a bigger challenge at hand now. I need to shed close to 8 kgs that i gained during the US trip ; My cooking is not all that bad . I started running again but the effects of the weight gain are showing . I struggle to cross the 6k mark damn!!
There were a few weddings( those of close school and high school friends) that i never wanted to miss . Made it to 2 of those, had to miss Natchi's thanks to the Detroit trip in April. Still can't believe that the bunch of us who rode bicycles and played together have graduated in life . I keep thinking of those great times and wish each of them the great life ahead.
This weekend i am planning to do my annual Sabarimala trip. The Chennai music season is coming up , I hope i can attend a good number of concerts this year too. I also need to find a new guru.

Mate congrats on the series win! What a thrashing. It was a good way to send off your retiring batting champs too. Ponting should be sacked for his bad decisions in the 4th Test

Mylapore Experience

Jai and I went for a carnatic concert featuring the Ranjani-Gayathri combo. The queue outside the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan hall clearly showed thier fan following. The rasikas consisting mainly of 'mama-mamis' with thier trademark filter coffee flasks made the evening lively. The highlights of the concert were the 'Thodi' kirthanai ,the meera bhajan and the tukaram abhang in that order. 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
