The Poet in me

The habit of writing started for me sometime during early Jan 2007. I started getting to it for the sake of my friends. To be a stress buster and to do time pass, it all started. I chose Poems initially coz they could be written within 10 minutes and I felt them to consist of lots of values. I began to write about my friends and about work in IT. The response I got was good which made my involvement more in writing. Thus I began being a blogger and my first organization provided a perfect platform to showcase talents. The blogging space was most loved and most followed in a day by many new joiners like me. Although I didn't meet the characteristics required for a Blogger, I was there in that space admiring many of fellow writers like me, learning new things and making new friends online in that virtual space.

My passion for poetry was ignited by the massive response I received for my variety of poems. Almost 75% of my writings were inclined towards poetry. I felt somehow expressing the best in the form of fictional poems. Poetry lured me to a great extent and I began to write in multiple languages. The variety I showed in my poems was well received. Love, War, Crime, Death - Life's all emotions were captured in my poems. The content of them was so strong which made to continue this pattern of writing for long in the blogging space. 

Due to them being non-time consuming and being bold with less words, I opted for it and continued with it. It gave me pain, sorrow, ecstasy and joy when I wrote those works. To a great extent I even felt proud of my own creation and and valued them a lot. Occasionally I wrote stories and the primary reason for that was to explore more about my writing limits. I was lured to writing short and long stories. Although I have written 2 books already I still see miles to go for writing long stories and novels. 

It was poetry that brought me to this space and made me what I am now. Some of my intial poems (in English) are available in the below link as a book which can be downloaded for free. Hope I have presented what I have mentioned above and believe you guys will like it.,

Why So Serious, Huh ?

Of course the outside world is challenging. It is evolving every minute and we have to adapt to it at the right time. We have to be making continuous progress. We are often held up and occupied with tasks. We don’t have time for others. The fear of getting left behind has groped us. Whole day we reflect the issues we face or about to face at work. We are completely immersed into an ocean of problems before even they reach us. We forget our identity and play someone else. We portray an altogether new human which is nowhere close to ourselves. In that process we forget our true selves and don’t live life to the fullest. The very reason for this is the world and the platform which has gone increasingly challenging. People with similar or more knowledge and skills are out there – out to demolish us and we are caught in a vicious circle of survival. We are merely focused towards hanging on – to survive – to let the time move. Relationships - especially people management tactics have g

Forever Young

In this fast moving world, no one has time for others. People are not even concerned about others’ issues. They are selfish and focus only on the benefits that they need. Due to the advancement in technology, although the world has shrunk and brought people closer, it hasn’t been fully utilized that way. The more people have been brought closer the more they are separated far apart. We don’t even care to know who sits next to us in office. This has become a virtual world. The No-Care attitude has cropped up in us. We have even got to the stage of ignoring our good friends. We don’t have time to participate in our friends’ events. We don’t have time to answer their texts and calls. We have come up with a firewall against the closer world and reduced our communications and relationships. Sympathy, Care, Love, Friendship – these became the qualities of the past. We are only focused on generating income and build our future on that. Thus man, using all of his senses has started to become

Chennai Floods

2005 - It was the first time since I felt floods in Chennai. I came to Chennai in 1994. Never had seen such rains and flood ever. There had never been floods to such an extent that schools and colleges were declared holidays. Everything functioned normally. I was in Chromepet/Chennai for over 10 years and had a great time there. Monsoons were never so high and there often was water scarcity. I wouldn't say that the infrastructure was better however it wasn't that bad so that we had water logging anywhere. The city was good enough to welcome monsoons and storms/low pressure wasn't that dangerous. It was 2005 when it all started ever since I moved to Mudichur (Kanchipuram district) when I witnessed one of the harmful rains and incessant floods. Water entered our house with the house submerged with 3 ft water inside. In the roads, it was around 5 ft and we had a very difficult time vacating our houses to our relative's house at Tambaram East. Heavy water logging was ever
