Reminiscence

New glasses...new shoes...new clothes...new back pack...any guesses? Of course it’s gonna be another travel post. Well this time it didn’t begin as an idea but rather a never ending desire to run away from office and later proudly come back and say, “Hey people you know what the journey was so good that I forgot my machine password!” So let us travel 2 weeks back in time to recite one of the best memories captured in this year. Morning took a kick start with lots of selfies and a promise to visit more places than before. ( 14th August 2016) A day before Independence Day was in itself a perfect theme resounding an urge to live life like it will be never again. The hotel caretaker had arranged for a traveler ride which started at 9:30 am. However since we got up early so we had enough time. So before the actual journey began, we opted to experience a small teaser. Ooty was in its entire vibes when we reached the first stop, The Stone House . I would say the uphill walk was rat...

One has truly said, “Engineering life is the best time to explore as many places as you want because after that there won’t be anything to be called as life”.

It is the last working day of the month. Your mind has already begun to frame a SQL query with a where clause searching for keyword like “%credited%”.  But wait because your mind is a multiprocessor. One more process adds up of analytics where your mind has already projected the savings that you’re going to have in next 3 months On the other hand your heart beats in some other world, with totally different hopes; particularly dreams of extra 1000s or at least 100s adding up to what you call as salary popularly known as “monthly wages”!! And so the wait is over. The results are just the opposite of exit polls!! The tax component steals the show and you are left with money crumbs. Practically the month has not ended yet so you are already in debt! Well this is just another common story of a so-called miser like me whose mind’s savings and heart’s expenses ends up in a voluntary detention from the worldly pleasures.
