Small wooden box
When opened with grace
Gives you the hidden treasure!
Every evening, I have this habit of opening my mailbox expecting something interesting in it. But I end up seeing nothing or a bunch of advertisement slips 🙂

If given a choice to become a Superman or a Software Architect,
I would choose to be a s/w architect.
If no choice given, I will still become a s/w architect.

A naked tree,
Wants it’s leaves grow,
Hope springs in March!
Happy New Year. 2012 was great with ups and downs. I have also found few wonderful blogs and bloggers last year. Thanks and new year wishes to you all.
Ok, its resolution time now…
I haven’t taken or followed any resolution so far. Still let me list down my plans.
1. Save money:
I had spent a lot last year for electronics and stuffs so It’s time to save some money. I have to start from zero :(.
2. Travel:
This is about spending the money whatever I have saved :). Does resolution 1 and 2 contradicts each other?
I just want to explore the US by traveling as much as possible before my visa expires.
I hope to save and travel a lot this year.
Wish me good luck!
சொந்தங்கள் ஒன்று கூடும் சித்திரைத் திருவிழாவில்
உன் வருகையை எதிர்பார்த்து திண்ணையில் நான் காத்திருக்க
வாசலில் நீ வந்தவுடன் என் சொந்தம் உன்னை கொண்டாட
ஒரு பார்வை மட்டும் பார்த்துச் செல்வாய்
அது போதுமடி சத்தியமாய்
நாகரீக உடையினில் நீ வந்திறங்கியபோதினிலும்
மறுநாளில் மாறிடுவாய் கிராமத்து தேவதையாய்
புத்தாடை அணிந்துவந்து பக்கத்தில் நீ நிற்கையிலே
காமாட்சி அம்மனை பார்த்தது போல் கண்கள் இரண்டும் சொக்கி நின்றேன்
கோவில் மணி ஓசையிலும்
கரகாட்ட கூத்து சத்தத்திலும்
உன்னுடைய சிரிப்பு மட்டும்
அழகாக கேக்குதடி
உரிமையோடு நானும்
ஆசையோடு நீயும்
பார்த்துப் பார்த்து பூத்திருபோம்
பேச எண்ணி காத்திருப்போம்
பொங்கச்சோறு சுவையை விட
பாட்டி தந்த பரிசை விட
நீ கொடுத்த ஒற்றை ருபாய்
என் பைக்குள்ளே பத்திரமாய்
மானும் மீனும் மயிலும் மலரும்
அழகாக தோன்றவில்லை அத்தைபெண்ணின் அருகினிலே
பெண்கள் பலகோடி பாரில் இருந்தாலும்
என் மாமன் மகளல்லவா அழகிய இளவரசி.
The clock ticks so loud,
a constant rhythm in my dream,
My bed is a cloud that sails far supreme.
The clock turns in to a sun
I’m still in my bed
Wake up, Wake up! the clock hits my head.
Time wants me to go
But the bed says no
Fight for my love continues between those two.
I stopped their fight,
And promised my bed
That I’ll come back tonight.
I have a habit of sleeping with the lights on as I’m alone in my apartment, But today, I have to sleep without lights. There is no power due to storm in cincinnati 😦
I’m a man and I’m not afraid of storm, thunder or any other threats. but this darkness…OMG, It’s so scary :(.
The worst part is, I just watched a horror movie ‘Don’t be afraid of the dark’ at my friends place. I did not complete the movie and I asked my friend to drop me. When I’m back home, the power has not yet come. My friend asked me to sleep at his place, but for some unknown reason I said I’m good.
I’m surviving with the lights from my MacBook Pro’s screen. It is my only company now. It has 51% of battery power and I hope the lights will be back soon.
While typing this post on TextEdit, my computer scared me for a moment by shouting ‘It’s 11’o clock’. Let me tell victoria (system’s voice) not to announce the time when it is 12.00.
Hmm, I’m taking an oath now…If I survive tonight, I’m going to be the wisest person in the world from tomorrow.
I’m done with the post and I will be updating this in my blog when the power comes.
God! I don’t pray for success, but I ask for POWER. 
Fingers crossed!
Again, I woke up late today. I left home at 9.30 and I had to walk to office since I left my BumbleBee in office on Friday evening.
Though there is no call (a stupid status call) today, I walked in hurry and tension. I went ahead of the Disney Land and then crossed the yellow VW Beetle – I don’t know why this Yellow Volkswagen Beetle always makes me smile and happy whenever I see it 🙂
In few meters I saw a line of angels crossing the road and coming towards my lane. The empty walking lane is now occupied by Angels. I went nearby them and a gorgeous little girl said Hello and gave a lovely smile. They are elementary school students going somewhere from their school accompanied by two teachers.
One of the teachers told me that I should probably go front as it takes some time for all of them to go.
I said ok and walked forward, but the line started to move again and now I’m in middle of those tiny tots.
I was wearing a backpack and looked like one of those school students. I felt like a grown up kid in the midst of the little angels. Some kids smiled and few felt shy but all were happy walking.
I did not want to split the line so I stood in acorner to let the line move on.
All the kids waved bye and we exchanged smiles. My tension vanished away on their smiles. Then I started to walk slowly enjoying the weather, admiring at the trees, sparrows and the old buildings of the historic Glendale village.
Life is Beautiful!
PS: People ignore the beauty of life in their fast, urgent and busy life. I realized that life is not about achieving success, survival or making money. Life is just about living!
Look around,
Breathe in love and
Live the life!
Dear Mom,
This post is for you. I thank you for being the best mom. I talk to you daily, but there are few things that I have not told you. So I’m writing it on my blog.
You never scolded me when I flunked in exams, rather you cursed the subjects for being so tough.
You tease me that I’m a tube light and treat me like a friend.
You held me tight when I’m scared in the night and
You treat me very special every single day.
You have not burdened me with responsibilities when dad passed away, but
You showed immortal love that made such losses fade away.
You have given me life, but you say I’m your life.
You’re a Super Woman and I’m proud to call you as my mother,
I wish you a Happy Mothers Day,
I love you Mom.

Cuckoo’s coo-coo,
Squirrel’s shrill and
Parrot’s song,
Wakes up the sleeping city!
Cold Morning breeze,
Dance of greeny leaves and
Gleams of the solar king,
Welcomes the newborn day!
Note: I wanted to post this in the early morning, but creating a picture for my poem took this much time. Now I’m confused whether it looks like a sunrise or sunset. Please assume it as a sunrise 😀
