A Good Day to Start With

It's been a while, but I'm back—blogging with a touch of retro flair! 😄 Some might call it retro, but for me, it's a return to my roots. Over the past decade, I've been on quite a journey—working as a software engineer at various companies, taking breaks when life demanded it, and navigating through some tough times.

There were wrong decisions along the way, and I faced my share of challenges. But now, I’m ready to make a comeback, stronger and more determined than ever. I’m excited to share what I’ve learned, where I’ve been, and how I’m moving forward. Whether it’s personal stories, photography, travel, or reflections on history—whatever I’m exploring, you’ll find it here.

It feels like I’m starting from scratch, but that’s part of the excitement. Let’s embark on this new chapter together

Orange Train and Yoga Vibe: First Experience of Both

Well, it’s about leaving my native, ever-green Nagercoil, located at the southernmost tip of India, a place of immense natural beauty. Surrounded by the Western Ghats, it boasts lush green landscapes and serene backwaters. As I gazed out of the clean, big glass window of the new orange and grey Vande Bharat train, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of nostalgia for the verdant hills and tranquil surroundings of my hometown. The sight of the lush greenery slipping away made me realize how much I would miss the serene beauty of Nagercoil and how blessed I am to be born there. A Fresh Journey on the Orange Vande Bharat Express After some busy days of working only from my home, this seemed to be a nice train journey after a while with my wife last Saturday. You know, I enjoyed a meal from Indian Railways for the first time. The food was decent, though the service was not quite up to the mark. The host should speak the local language, especially Tamil, but I appreciate it for what it is. We we...

Embracing Writing Again: My Journey from Paper to Mobile, Desktop and Beyond

I want to write again, but now I've become more accustomed to using my mobile phone to jot down thoughts. However, I still enjoy the traditional method of writing on paper. Whatever the case, not having a laptop should never stop me from posting or writing from anywhere. It's been a while, everyone. After many years, I'm back to writing and doing the routines I've longed for. I didn’t want to post a lot because what I was writing felt too personal and real, and I didn’t want to express my content through a straightforward moral lens. So, I thought I could create a story of my own based on personal experiences and the lessons life has taught me so far. For starters, I’m going to hit 34 this September. I’m pretty sure my previous audience consisted mostly of my childhood friends or relatives, with a few others, as I wasn’t consistent enough in adding content. Anyway, let’s now focus globally. I mean, I can write stories and maybe publish them in two main languages for no...

Odiyur Lake

Whenever I used to drive in ECR I always wanted to blog about this place. It is Odiyur a village 52 Km from Pondicherry and 90 Km from Chennai. Why am I talking about this village? Actually not about this village it is about the lake in this village. Odiyur Lake is a boon for most of the photographers, people who love fishing and bird watching. People who travel to Pondicherry from Chennai, Odiyur Lake serve as a perfect relaxing spot. One of the biggest lakes you can find between ECR (East Coast Road).
