Wander Bay

Very recently, I went on a houseboat at Alappey with my handsome bestie.  The journey was calm, much needed in dosage and the experience was sweet and serene. water, boats, daily life, bridges, kettuvalloms, canals, trees, glorious food tasting, awing at the size of lobsters, wading ducks, rowing a boat, paddy fields and the calm punnamada lake. look ahead the tattered bridge. slightly different, the angle. fancy them skies house. boat and trees pazhampori (banana fritters) and tea. life's this way just get into my mouth already, sexy! This was all mine safely, because my company was a fraud mallu boy sauted and boiled veggies. just good. cabbage sabji a little kitty awes at the fishes she might get her luck on! daily life | kuttanad. Punnamada lake and houseboats was much needed. I also waded through the water on a small boat, rowing across the vast 'kaayal' (lake), sheepishly looking at the life outside...

Ahoy! the mighty Tungabhadra! Let me make my way waves and live upto bliss. Cradle  me in your palms, touch my hair, enlighten me, blow me a kiss Let me churn your splendid waters, and play and be enthralled on your lap for its my wish for long that it has been and can't swap. A journey through Tundabhadra; once in 2010. New journeys coming up. Soon. Indulge me.

I wrote a book. Yes. I published the damn thing. I wanted to publish a book in so long a time trust me, the wait was fair enough.  It is a collection of short stories . and these stories might NOT be the best in the world. You might find them really weird . However, they might touch a chord with you somewhere, because I wrote it with my heart strands. And as for the book, love is the base on which it's been made. Fair enough, right? Wish me Luck! Buy it here  if you'd love to! 

Some extra effort has been put on at work these days. And that effort is growing on me. This realization dawned to me as I sat in a junk pizza place munching one of those cheesy bastards, hot and nice with mushrooms on it, waiting for a friend. It occurs to me that we, literally, throughout our lives, live celebrating our food. I am not someone who instagrams my food the moment I set my eyes on it, but I do click the food that actually makes a difference to me at a particular instance. For example, if I am tired, I cook some lemon rice with some mint chutney and since at that moment it is my comfort food, I record it in my phone, don't post it anywhere. Or if I am on a train and as hungry as a mad dog, I click those parippvadas just because they gave me my piece of pleasure I so wanted. Record to remind. So, now I added instagram filters to my food-photos and man do they look nice! I just rummaged through my phone and I find that I have tons of such Food pictures! Shar...
