Quite a few things have changed since I last wrote. It’s been a while. Actually quite some time. It’s not that I’ve not been visiting this space, just that a few other things took unprecedented limelight. As I sit here on the NJ transit commuting back from work a class, I finally decided to get ...

Mar

2012

Some things are just worth fighting for. Some are just worth dying for. More so when legends need to be told and champions honed.

Depths of darkness

Feb

2012

There is something just so mystic about wandering in the darkness and into the woods.

Yesterday I felt miserably lost and figured I wasn’t doing anything worthwhile staring at the screen. I took a quick shower and decided to take a stroll. Left at about 1749 and decided to walk down to the Shangumugam beach about 6kms from my house. In a sturdy pace I hit the beach and returned ...

Tomorrow as the dawn cracks in, we’d be introducing our kids to their new projects for this unit.

It’s just about a month that the second academic year has started. The past four weeks have been really hectic juggling the plethora of tasks left on the table. The kids have slowly started getting back to the regular schedules and attendance is almost touching 100 percent. The much needed break that I took hiking ...
