Bangalore to Kumbakonam – About 7 hours drive. The mountains, the palm trees, the bushes – everything looked green and cool. As I dropped the window, I could feel the reality – the scorching sun was opening his mouth wide to send the gush of hot air. Kids were playing and I was looking around […]
“Tomorrow is Amma’s birthday. Amma would you go to office? Will we go for dinner? Appa, what did you buy for amma” my daughter was over excited and I smiled.

After a short break from routine, I packed my bags to get back to my nest. Boarding the bus, I smiled about the three decade memories I had collected over the last three days. How different have the days become? Friends from all phases of life and how they had played a major part in
