An Open letter

Dear C. I love you, really, I do. From the day I saw you, I have been smitten by you. You are gorgeous, round, perfectly tall, the right proportions, not an ounce extra or less, and just so perfect that at that moment I realized that you are the kind I have been looking forward to be stumbled across.

I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said that you have influenced my life, you have. Because my perception of beauty has changed. You came to me or rather, I stumbled across you when I was surrounded by hugely comical, stupid-looking or Stern, non-smiling, non- friendly, arrogant type A losers- the typical extremes; and so, your entry into my life was perfectly timed.

And now when I think, I couldn't have imagined how I finished all my work without your help. The way you paused, the space you gave, the right bend to my imaginative words; you fueled that. I propagate the idea of you to many around me because I value you. 


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
And hereby I say again, I LOVE YOU, dear Calibri. I couldn't have imagined writing down notes on word, with a default Times new Roman or the boring Arial (yaawwnn, seriously!) or a MUCH OVER-HYPED Helvetica (yea jackass, you don't deserve the attention you get), forever. You have been a true help; when the documents by others looked dull, bloated and uncouth, mine looked neat, disciplined and tamed. When the Kern of Comic Sans looked utter weird (it still does), yours were the right size that I awed at. Your ascenders being just so right and strong, where others needed monkey caps as seriff for support (!! Yea, on your face Times New Roman). 

Fattys ruled the shelf then isn't it? I know you feel horrible when people ignore you and think of Helvetica as a queen (trust me C, I hate Helvetica, I am different), because others  don't know your power but to me, you are a magical creation who has the capacity to change the world with the visual pleothora. Come, let's join hands!

A token of my love to one of the BEST in the world

Hehe, at the beginning, I thought it was about a girl/lady and I ended up thinking that lucky are the ladies who get such praises! :P

And instead of Calibri, I'm in love with Josefin Sans! <3

"വീട് എവിടെയാ" എന്ന് പണ്ടൊക്കെ ആൾകാർ ചോദിക്കുമ്പോൾ ഞാൻ എന്ത് പറയണം എന്ന് അന്തം വിട്ടിരുന്നു. ഞാൻ പഠിച്ചുകൊണ്ടിരുന്ന airforce balbharati എന്ന് ഒരിക്കൽ ഉത്തരം പറഞ്ഞപ്പോൾ ഒരു ആന്റി കുറെ ചിരിച്ചു. കാരണം ഒരു 13  വയസ്സ് വരെ ഇന്ത്യയൊട്ടാകെ സഞ്ചരിക്കയല്ലാതെ വീടെവിടെയാ എന്ന് ഒരാളും പറഞ്ഞു തന്നില്ല.. ഒരിക്കൽ ഞാനത് സ്വയം കണ്ടുപിടിക്കയ തന്നെ ചെയ്തു... ആരും പറഞ്ഞതല്ല. പക്ഷെ വീട്ടിൽ ഉണ്ടാക്കുന്ന ഭക്ഷണത്തിൽ നിന്നാണ് ഞാൻ അത് മനസിലാക്കിയത്!  അത് വരെ മലയാളി എന്ന് വിശ്വസിച്ചിരുന്ന ഞാൻ, യഥാർത്ഥത്തിൽ ഒരു "സങ്കര" ആണെന്ന്  അപ്പോഴാണ് പുടികിട്ടീത് ...  കൊണ്ടാട്ടം, ഇലുമ്പിച്ചം പഴം സാദം, തൈർ സാദം, പൊങ്കൽ, പനിയാരം,  മെദു വട എന്നിവ മലയാളികളുടേത് എന്ന് അഹങ്കരിച്ചിരുന്ന ഞാൻ അത് തമിഴ് വിഭവങ്ങളാണെന്നു അറിഞ്ഞപ്പോൾ അത്ഭുതം കൊണ്ട് കൂറി. "അതെങ്ങനെയാ നമ്മൾ മലയാളികൾ ആണെങ്കിൽ തമിഴ് വിഭവങ്ങൾ ഇടയ്ക്കിടെ വീട്ടിൽ ഉണ്ടാക്കുന്നത്?" എന്ന എന്റെ "നിഷ്കളങ്കമായ"  ചോദ്യത്തിനുത്തരമായി എന്റെ അച്ഛമ്മ നാല് തമിഴ് ഡയലോഗുകൾ അങ്ങട് കാച്ചികളഞ്ഞു !  അപ്പഴല്ലേ ഗുട്ടൻസ് മനസിലായത്! എന്റെ അച്ഛമ്മ പക

  DCFC has always been a favourite band of mine.  But this song - "I'll possess your heart" is the most cutting of all. It's sharp but extremely subtle. Ignoring the stalker-ish-ness of the singer, I relate to this traveler in the video- a lot.  When I went to Seoul, one day I woke up really early morning around at 4:00 am. I made coffee in the coffee-machine in the hotel room at Gangnam, sat on the window pane, opened my playlist on my comp, overlooking the posh cityscape, listening to music, sipping coffee and only to realize that my window faced the east side where the sun rose.  As the orange fringes started appearing, cutting through billboards and tall steel structures, this song began in the background, catching pace. I cannot express the sheer joy I experienced in that moment- the calm, the morbid pleasure in it all.  If this particular moment from 4 years ago is so vivid for me, you must understand how significantly this has impacted me!  Do yourself a favour
