A deep topic for me. I've been pondering about this. This came in one of the lunch table discussions with my colleagues. One asked about the right vacation choice, where he had an option to stay back at his rented home near work or accompany the family to in-laws place near his hometown. Another person whom with I'd a chat himself was indicating that he has started visiting home often these days & he feels happy. Realized that I'd started written this post & kept it in the draft! Why do we travel to meet one in person?  Every single time I've thought about it. It reminds me of the visual I'd when I was waiting near the causality of Calicut Medical College when one of our dear friends passed away & the doctor crew was trying hard to pump up the heart! I could also imagine how my distant relative's brother passed away & he was carrying his body asking if someone could wake him up! The breath is really valuable! There are times when you wish...

Time, such a trick of thaumaturgy. With good times comes the beatitude & with bad times comes the sentience. The bad times enlighten is what our ancestors time after time have put in words. Is that because of the sentience bad times bring? Given a free will, good times are preferred by an exquisitely confused mind.  Isn't that a pretty irony? Blame the time! No that isn't where I'm going. The thought which provoked me today was that why do we loose sentience during the good times. Is it because you don't deserve that inordinate time? You might be putting a maid at home or a person to wash your car. The time you bought how well did you fritter away? If that is put to use to watch movie/tv or relax or to shop or spent on gossip, then you just reduced it to skin-and-bones. We've died to accumulate, die wisely with no leeway for heartbreak! What is your take?

A pretty long day for us. We drove from Bangalore. The car after a breakdown at Salem was again having issues. We gave the car for service at Thrissur. Papa & Mummy was at Thrissur since morning. We all welcomed our Dhiqur (nephew). It was a blessed day for our family. We drove to Koolimuttam. Towards the night 8:30 PM we reached. Met our beloved uncle & aunty. We started back at around 9:30 PM to Aluva, where papa & mummy lives. I, my wife, kids, papa & mom in the car. I was driving at a very comfortable speed & totally dark all around. A simple thought slithered in while driving. This has been an ever running thought in me. I wanted to ask this multiple times but didn't feel like earlier. But today I dared to ask this to my papa & mom. What is the point of life? What is your take on life? [me] My mom got a bit emotional thinking about her parents. My mom has always been the person who cheers my thoughts. A lot of points were made both mom & pa...
