Its been almost 100 days ( 94 days to be precise). Junior seems to be doing ok. I love his "BOOH BAAHS" to start with and he is turning out as a Passionate Talker ;-) Here is one of the latest snap ;-)

Black and WHite Photography

While Photography is one of the new Interst areas for me, I have been bowled over by Black and White Photographs. Some how they communicate the story of the Picture in a more effective way. It is not that I am against colors or I dont enjoy it. But the class of a Pure B/W is just awesome... Recently I purchased a Canon, and am not sure whether I can take a B/w in that...... I Still vividly remember all those B/ws which my Father used to take. Got to check with him whether he has any left overs of that.

Have enclosed One of my All time fav B/W photograph taken from the net...

Sreesanth turns Newleaf

Often known for his antics on the field and the famous Bhajji-Slap-Cry episode, looks like Sreesanth has turned a new leaf. He was warned by BCCI and given a last chance and looks like the youngster, let his ball ALONE talk for a change... No wonder he capped 6 wickets and was the MOM in Kanpur...

CAT caught in Mouse trap

Was funny to read that the Online exams of CAT ( Common Admission Test for IIM's) Crashed due to Technical Issues. Some have now attributed this to a virus attack. But strangely, they were supposed to teach everybody Management. Kapil Sibal has ordered for a enquiry ( LOL) A Lesson or Two ?? Any Takers???

Sehwag at his Best

I was thrilled to see Sehwag smash a 293 against Srilanka. When most batsmen have changed their Styles, here is a Pure entertainer, who will Smash irrespective of the situation of the game... Sure he misses out some times, but when in flow, there is nothing better to do than Watch his game.. High Adrenalin Stuff

Dec 1st World AIDS Prevention day

Was trying to create a Pic for this and the time I gave myself was 5 minutes. Its fun to be Creative with Time Pressure

Frequency

This is my real blog after quite some time ( Around 7 months). The urge to write was always there. But somehow never got it penned.

Life has changed so much. We were blessed with our 2nd one albeit with lotsa complication. The Junior has staved off lot of threats and is fighting on. We need to have 2 more surgeries done on him. SOme meaning to our lives.

The changes it has made to our life is notable. I would detail it in some of my future blogs....

Life in office really sucks...

Purpose of Life

Why do you exist?

As these thoughts engross me, I wonder why I exist...

In this mindless Journey, what do I achieve?

The Fear of Expectations,

The Fear of Failure,

The Fear of Losing

The Emptiness in Relations

The Heaviness in Separation,

The shallowness in today’s World

For the ignorance is long lost.

What I leave behind is

What I earn

And What I do

To earn that is what could be the Purpose of Life…

Search the light at the end of the tunnel only if you

Know where the tunnel is…..

Fatherhood

One of the enormous Joys of growing up is you pass through variety of stages in ur life. Ur graduation, Employment, Marriage, Festivals etc. But nothing comes close to the feeling of being a parent. My greatest joy in my life was the day when I had Pranav in my hand ( 2003). He has orchestrated my life from then onwards and it has been such a pleasure. He is the Only Person in this world who loves me unconditionally ( atleast until now). He feels his father can do anything and everything and the sadness in his face when I fight with him is heart touching. It is lovely to go along with him to School every day, answering tough qns.. ( some times I really dont know answer For eg : One day He asked if the Sun is So Hot what will happen if it falls down. I explained it wont fall. But still he wasnt convinced). There is a meaning to life now, thanks to him.

When I thought that this is the end, God has some other plans as Indu is Pregnant again and due in October. We are absolutely delighted. Most of the others say we will get a girl this time. We would love to have a girl, but it doesnt matter as long as we have a Healthy One. Have Started counting days. This in a way, is our gift to Pranav because I am the Only Son of My parents and never had the love of siblings. It makes me feel extraordinary to envisage that I am going to See What I missed and that too very soon in my family.

Tragedy

It is almost 4 days since the Srilankan team was attacked. Fortunately every body is now focussing back on Cricket ( India/ NZ, SA/AUS,WI/ENG). The chaos of IPL has started. We have reports of Cricketers not Sure abt participating, assurances, counter assurances and the Drama Goes on. THe impact that it has left on the average Cricket fan is enormous. I am not Sure whether I could go to Chepauk this time and root for CSK's. Nobody is sure today whether they can go to a cricket Stadium without any fear. All these are caused by Some Brainless Terrorists. Their main objective is get Publicity and mileage out of this carnage. We all feel so dumb and Helpless.

The above Picture illustrated what it should have been. Instead of celebrating cricket and catching the Spirit the bruised and wounded Lankans are catching a Helicopter back home. Wat a Shame

Hope

Been missing here for quite some time. Of all the valid reasons I feel lazyness is the most close to it.

Well I couldnt missout writing today coz, today I woke up with a dream. Well not exactly. Something more than that. It was 5'ish I guess when Indu woke me up with the news that, the results for preliminary Pregnancy test was positive. Hell Broke lose. As it stands, still we havent confirmed it in the lab or havent checked the doctor but the feeling is just sinking in. This may end as negative but I am hoping it wont be.



We had almost reached a stage where we have given up thots of a second Kid. Sometime back we had desperately wanted to be parents again but it seemed to eluding us forever. Then we thot Pranav is enuf or may be we should adopt one ( Pranav is already 6). But todays morning has given a new meaning again to the same old story and it is unbelievable to believe the kind of feelings it has invoked in me. Crazy times and I pray they remain So, with lots of Hopes.....
