Four Things - About me and my wishes!

1. I can doze off under the hot sun. Literally. Whenever I wait under the sun for somebody to pick me up while going out during the day, be it for a movie or anything else, I always, every single time, feel a little sleepy, even when I had had a sound sleep the previous night! Not sure if it is general human tendency or not, but I tend to feel drowsy when I am waiting or idle. I always love to have my day fully packed and bustling with activity, because empty days bring along laziness with it, which is something I am not very fond off. 

2. People. People are my best medicine. If you find me sad or lost in thought, just bring a couple of people around and I would brighten up enthusiasm instantly. I love being surrounded by people. Its boosts me like anything. This doesn't mean that I need people around me to talk to all the time. I can be alone and still be happy looking at other people talking amongst themselves. My requirement is just to have people in my vision. I went on to a place called George Everest in Mussorrie. It was a viewpoint, but I couldn't see one single tourist soul around there. The view was brilliant, but I felt something missing there. In my opinion, even the most stunning views gain their charm only when people are around to witness it. 

3. Mumbai, the city that never sleeps. This has been my dream city. I have read, heard and seen so much about this city, the Marine Drive, the Local Trains, The Arabian Sea and lot more. And after so much of listening, reading and seeing, I am dying to go to this city. I love Mumbai for the way it is, always busy and running. I have been wanting to go to this city for a long long time, but never got the chance yet. Every single New Year, for the past 8 years, I have been wishing without fail, to make a visit to this city. Hope I get a chance atleast this year.

4. Beaches, Sunrise and Sunset are a part & parcel of my life. One of the biggest reasons why I love Chennai is because of the Beach, especially the Thiruvanmyur one. If you know me or follow me in Insta, you should by know my obsession for sunrise and sunsets (Because most of the pictures in it are of sunsets/ sunrises) 

P.S.: I had wanted to write about 5 things, but never really got around in identifying the fifth trait, so finished it off with four.

Athi's first volunteering!

-

The Jawadhu Hills Ultra (JHU), a trail marathon, comprising of 30km and 60km distance, was organized by the Chennai Trail club (CTC) in Jawadhu this weekend. Being part of CTC, we naturally opted to volunteer for the event and decided to take Athi along. We have been wanting to take him to one of the CTC events for a long time now, but somehow it kept eluding and this time we decided we have got to do it. Because we were taking him along, we opted to volunteer at the start/finish point - that's the one place that has people flowing in and out all the time, unlike the aid stations that are deep in the trails, with very minimal people around other than a few locals and the runners passing by.  Up until now, every time we take him out for trips, we'd always been carrying some quick food, and a couple of his toys. But this time, given he is almost 5 years old and this whole trip was going to be mostly outdoors (the school ground), I took a bold call that we are not carrying food - ...

Fun Five!

Don't get fooled by the title, I was just trying to have an alliterative one. I'm rather tired of starting every birthday post with a " Phew-I-can't-believe-you-are-already-five".  So, I'm putting this one as " what-an-amazing-year-it's-been ". Hands down one of the bestest. I definitely loved all the time I spent with you and cherish them so much, because this shall never repeat. The innocence, the curious questions - why, when, what, how, the joy of living in the present, the pride of being able to do things on your own - both for yourself and for others. The year started off with a Snake Walk weekend - and this time it included a friend from your school, Kavin. After we had him over for your birthday, and he had us over for his (apparently, both of your birthdays are 5 days apart, albeit you are a year younger) - we asked him to join us for this event, and oh boy, you guys had crazy fun running around the paddy fields, spotting touch-me-nots (...

Kudremukh!

-

Western Ghats have always been my most favourite. I have only been to Kumara Parvatha and Kodachari until now, and both of them have been really beautiful and challenging. I certainly have a thing for lush greens - the kind that you see right during and immediately after monsoon. So, when the office colleagues decided to plan a trip, I jumped up with glee suggesting Kudremukh as the destination.  I have been wanting to go to Kudremukh for a long time now, ever since I finished the other two K's, but the dream couldn't crystallise into a reality. I went all out and convinced everyone about how beautiful Kudremukh would be and how this was exactly the right time to visit that place, showing all the innumerable photos on the internet. But as with every other trip planning and every other office gumbal, we started off with about 10 people showing interest for the trip, but then when we did finalise the actual date, unfortunately most them backed out due to various reasons. Finally,...
