Some days would be pretty long ,today is one of them. I reached Chennai today morning, I woke around 4 30,reached station around 5. I like morning walks so walked all the way home from station. Started to office by 6 30,reached there around 8. Since yesterday was off had enough work to catch up with.There was a project delivery last week and I was fixing the issues. When I was done with work it was 8 pm. Reached home by 10. Its time to catch some sleep now :)

election quote

"Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote." ~ George Jean Nathan (1882-1958).

On the eve of election day

Tomorrow its election day here, its been long process to process this election for more than 600 million people ,one of the largest of kind in the world.I strongly beleive in this democratic process followed in our country ,though not the best candidates get choosed but the sitting candidate if he not performed upto the mark he is bound to lose.Whoever wins the election what I wish is a stable government for the next five years.
PS: I am going to my hometown to cast my vote!!!

Stop the war(genocide) in Srilanka

Its never too late than never to stop the war rather genocide in Srilanka. Its become more of a routine affair to hear daily deaths happening in the so called emerald island,only difference it makes is the number of people getting killed everyday.Yesterday was another black day with the death figures crossing more than 4 digit number. We are helpless and made as a mute spectator to watch those horrible events getting underaway there. It makes us wonder why we have international organisations which blow horns about brining peace and harmony in the world. What the countries accross the world do rather than encourage the Lankan government to orchestrate the human massacre.
I remember the time I was in Srilanka during 2005 when the ceasefire was on,I would like to remember the country as peaceful as it was then.Those were the days when i was amazed by its beatuiful green, calm environment ,all the natural beauty of world put in place in a single island.But now I could never imagine the how the people are still surviving there. It feels even more hurt when you actually know few people living(surviving) there, telling all the troubles and hardships they face.
GOD SAVE THEM !!!

Back to Swimming

Its been more than a year I stepped into a swimming pool.I remember my last time,when I was in Cochin my friend woke me one fine morning around 7 o clock to get his clothes as he forgot to take his swimming clothes to the pool.So when I went there I thought why not I take a dip,but I was not aware of the cold weather I was gasping for breath after a while,then I got a bad cold the same day.

I was in my cousin s house this weekend and they had a pool in their apartment.Since the weather was so hot I never had second thought getting into the swimming pool on Saturday evening .It took some splashing before I got my rhythm back. It was a good exercise for my body which wasn't been troubled for the last 6 months.Sunday when I woke up uncle asked me do want to swim again? Within 10 minutes we are back in the pool again.
It feels great to be in the swimming pool once again!

Sitcoms my another passtime!

After movies and book another passtime I have is watch sitcoms , I never had patience to wait for one episode everyweek but rather wait for the full season to get over and watch all the episodes at a stretch. Unlike movies or novels one could easily get attached to any of the character in it,can compare any of our friends with another and infer incidents which reminds you of something happened in your life sometime.
But the most important thing of all,there is plenty of laughter in it that you forget what ever stress you have undergone on that day and goto bed with a light heart.
PS: I m waiting for How I met your mother season four to get over and in the meantime I m watching two and half men.
