A new beginning

The phoenix rises again. It is easier to write someone off. But I am back, though not with a bang but have atleast something to tell. After listening to the song Kerala fonia I am inspired, I used to wonder where the real bashers are ? There are here, in the world wide web spreading the news that the rumours are after all only what they are – romours . God does not live here any more.
That’s to continue with what I did in my previous posts.
I have been really “busy” the past few weeks and hence had no time to write a blog. I know it is hard to believe, but with my manager sitting a few feet away I cant just keep browsing the entire day. This time while traveling to Chennai I made a big mistake of not bringing a blanket. To understand this issue it is imperative that you travel only once(one is enough to make you understand the problem) from somewhere in kerala to chennai or the opposite route. There I was showing a macho image to the old man sitting nearby saying “uncle I don’t sleep much at night, I will take care of you dabba you can take my lower bearth” and I took his side upper. Even with the fans switched off the cold was unbearable. I was hoping to catch the fellow who rents out blankets in the train but thanks to Murphy’s law he didn’t turn up, so I was up all night “enjoying” the serene night journey through Tamilnadu waiting for the next station to arrive so that I can get a cup of hot steaming tea. At the end of this eventful journey I found out many things,
1. Old people are lucky with people like me around
2. The tea in Erode is better than the one in salem.
3. Allepey express is the worst train to travel in. This opinion is shared by a lot of people who are working with me ( Sai !! you too)
4. The engine driver must be a crazy fellow because he kept hooting the horn throughout the night.

After 6 sleepless hours in the near zero temperature(ok that’s exaggerating but it is very close to 10 – 15 degrees), Chennai at last. I got down at avadi itself fearing a rendezvous with our old friends from the “other” side or rather “neither” side (The Ali’s). To make my return a little less exciting I have kept a reminder on my mobile phone to take a blanket.

Note : This is directed at people who were last seen ridiculing others blogs. Not everyone can write blogs which people like. I am not trying to. This blog is a place where I write what I feel like, I am not writing to please you. Thanks
