In Search Of My Soul

-LIFE IS MORE THAN MERELY STAYING ALIVE-
In times of anger,joy and pain
I have wanted to find him out;
From the depths of me and gain -
All those answers ,I had ever sought.
I thought many a times that I saw him far,
Though he appeared like a star in those velvet skies.
In times of calm , i have felt him close beside,
Though invisible he is to my earthly eyes.
I always thought of ways to feel him near;
I have thought of death and of wealth,
Thought of love and of prayer.
But what is it that takes me there
That I need to find ,before the heavens come near.
One day I believe he will hear my call,
And I will merge into ,him, My Soul.

    I wanted to post something. Then I thought why not for once write on a strong statement I read in Paulo Coelho's The Witch Of Portobello.
    It goes like 'Think of things you don't know about'.
    And this was something i didnt know anything about.
    Thanx For Your Patient Reading.

    You have done it once again. You better yourself everytime you write a poem. I guess you love beating yourself. Looking forward to your next one.

    Cheers!!

    Sunith,amy, chiddu and ann
    thanx for those good words

    @amy: schoolil vachu enicku polum ariyillayirunnu, enicku vattanennu
    @ann:i didnt think of the girl perpective myself (hehe)...Love is a trivial and ommon subject to write upon... I try to avoid it as long as possible , and fail miserably at it too :-)
    I just thought of that inner person in you who appears to u at some time:
    maybe called conscience, soul or God.
    I refered to my conscience.

How to run a Marathon : 10 Practical Tips

First Things First: Wish you and your loved ones a very  happy, peppy and zappy 366 days in 2012 Looks Good Right? But Do You Know that he is not following some of the Golden Rules? As you might be aware, I have been preparing for a marathon(half) . Due my extreme commitment in the preparations I decided to change my category from 25 to 12.5 KM so that the regular winners of 25 k are not disheartened by their sudden loss. But as 12.5 KM is not my category, I knew I could not finish first. But life is full of sacrifices ain't it? While running the marathon, I picked up some tips and came to know that most of my "training" didn't incorporate the important stuff that contributes to better and efficient running. These are my observations and are awaiting patent. Humble as I am, I hate to say it but I am expecting a Nobel prize in Sports. Till then I hope you keep these things between us. Here are ten tips that will help you for sure whether you are over...

Bane Of Existence

{ This one has been sitting idly in drafts for more than a year. Most of it owing to my laziness to edit and publish. Finally I got around to it and the reason for that has to be yet another blog. Before you go on - the story might not be fictional but the characters and settings are.} T he Sun had silently gone to sleep. His last rays bounced off the golden sands. The groundnut peddler hit his wares furiously. The tantalizing smell of onion pakodas gave a tough fight to my diet plans. But the Beach was not the same today. The Waves don't sound happy. They sing in sorrow like they understand her.

Kalsa Waterfall (Barajanancha Vazar) To Sural Waterfall (Ladki cha Vazar) Trek

Sural Waterfall from the view point in the village of Sural I t was a search for Heaven that led us to Belgaum. The spark came from a set of  photos posted on FB . Temptation overcame us and a trip for the immediate weekend took shape. We wanted to hit the place before the end of  October. Lack of rains can change a landscape into something else altogether. Without enough time to plan, road blocks had good luck  finding us. We couldn't get reservations in a resort called Wildernest. Heaven was supposed to be en route to the resort. So the infinity pool plan sunk with it. It was  decided that  it should be a trekking + sight seeing trip instead. Trekking on Saturday and scouting on Sunday (armed with the  approximate location of the place from Vatsa's friend, who was the lucky soul who posted the photos). Bangalore was left behind for a weekend.
