The Skin Kaleidoscope

"At the end of one HYSTERICAL journey #engineering here I am  at the start of another. #roadtrip to Mt. Abu!"- I Tweeted. I had always wanted to go out on a road trip. Well I had a lot of reasons. Let me just try to make a bullet list as to how I decided to go out on one: (Engineering has taught me something! :P)   Firstly,  My Dad was a biker and he had been on many road trips the longest being, a trip from Coimbatore(Tamil Nadu) to Goa. On their bikes! So I had  to go. That's a cool bike he had! We did not have the audacity  required resources to go on bikes so we pooled up to go in a 'compact Multi-Purpose Vehicle' (euphemism for  Chevrolet Tavera) for our trip to Mt. Abu.  My friends and I had been planning out a trip since our college second year. And planning was all we did! I could make another bullet list as to why we didn't/ couldn't work out our plans but we'll leave it at that. Engineering. Yes. Having slog

Whenever November comes by, I am surrounded by a melancholic and cold atmosphere that has nothing to do with the winter season. But as far as my memory can reach out, winter used to be my favorite, of all the seasons throughout the year.  Waking up to the smell of brewing coffee my mother would make but at the same time trying my best to get out of my cozy rajaai (Hindi for a quilt) to brush my teeth and take a hot bath and then dressing up to go to school.

Yes. Winter was The Best Time of the year for me! What was more. It was Christmas season! Gifts, New clothes, Christmas cards, the Chris

Finally! After so many attempts to try new things all my life, here I am at the brink of starting something new. Blogging.  Well its probably out of jealousy(God forgive me!) that I have found this newly found interest. You see many of my friends have their own blogs and quite good ones at that!  So much for intros, I'll post something that has influenced my life to an extent that it has changed my way of looking at myself.  If you had known me from my school days, you would have known me to be one of those lonely, fun-hating introvert guys who stick to reading books as their sole hobby. Well, maybe I was/am like that. The difference now is that I have Someone far greater than my imagination, who has filled me with something that I am going to have till I am here. Faith. Hope. Love. It all started with a 'Why?' It always does. And then, like that feeling when you start giving in, like that step when you start over again , like that moment when you are just waking up,
