On a bitter-sweet year just passed....

One more year.... older by one more year... my b'day again... the first one in chennai....

I remember my last b'day in Hyderabad... it was a fun filled as well as teary day indeed... fun with all the friends around... teary; yeah, the same reason...

The year just passed was of mixed feelings.... painful as well as happy.... leaving all my friends was unbearable... leaving hyd... leaving all my buddies were indeed highlighting in the whole of year... chennai days were painful at first... slowly, i learned the place, people and blended in... work went on fine...

There were reasons to smile the end of a day... as well was reasons that brought tears to my eyes... Thatz what life is all about... it can never be sweet always.... we can enjoy the sweetness only if we ever experienced the bitterness... We will appreciate heights only if we have fallen to the bottom... A rise from fall is always memorable... It was an year that gave me strength for a rise like that, and i will remember the past year for so many reasons....

To the coming year... no more special thoughts... no promises.... no prayer for changes.... just want to be the way i'm... 'cos i love the way i am.... and i am happy....

Thanking the lord for all the happiness and good health an year brought to me.... and 'happy b'day me'... :D

Cool, Cozy sunday.... thanks to Jal!!!

Cool and Cozy and Chennai!!!... we can ever expect a combo like that.... except for cyclone rainy days... Yesterday was the day for cyclone Jal!!...

Locked up in my house whole day, missed the church.... 'cos the roads were 'flooded' and dangerous... along with rain, heavy wind... and that cause some power fluctuations and cable connection errs.... Blessing in disguise may be, enjoyed the coziness with some reading and writing (what i missed for a long long time)... One half-read book finally done... and finished some pages in 'an yellow note-pad'... :-).... satisfying... truly satisfying....

Late night news showed some destruction by the cyclone... that was the sad part of the whole day... cyclones, anywhere, plz send only rains... dont come and take lives...
