Boys will be Boys...!!!

There are some girls who prefer to have boys as friends..because boys have lesser issues and lesser brains… and I completely agree… most of my girls in my life…are most comfortable with their boys gang around…they not only get complete attention in the gang…but the boys take care of the gentle lady with utmost care… There are few boys ..Really very few ..who don’t want more girls in life than boys…and I certainly do not relate to that species. I find the company with a girl is more romantic …more relaxed…more soul searching and most times..leaves you confused!! The only way you conclude is by telling your heart and mind… “Dude…just relax....women are complex! KLPD is a way of life” God was certainly right…he made us totally different from each other…be it the way we grow up as kids… ( I can say this now that I have a girl and a boy in my home..growing up)…. Be it in the way we study in school… the way our uniform looks at the end of the day… the way we play…the games we p

Hope.... When everything else fails.!!!

Morgan Freeman’s character in the movie “The Shawshank Redemption” serves 30 years in the prison…and at a point says.. “I don’t know where all those years went by…and there is nothing left except hope..”   30 years is almost the full lifetime of us who are reading this blog… Just imagine someone who is confined inside a small room for that many years..and still has hope… a hope to feel free..to breathe and to live…atleast for a tiny moment before you die..!! Early 1980’s..my mom would get up..clean the mud house we lived in..Clean the cow dung..Walk upto a mile to the river to wash clothes..carrying me by her side…drag herself back to the house to cook food…go to the field to help rest of the family to make sure the crop this year yields better.. so that we are alive for the next year,,…   With no future to get out of the poverty..with 2 kids in front of her…all she did was Hope…!! She hoped that Dad and she could manage some job… her kids would go to some school and study

Friends....!!!!

Rakesh Jaitley, my colleague in Oracle and a very good friend inspired me to write this theme on Friends..   You feel humbled when someone like Rakesh says he loved reading what you wrote..For I have not known many like him, who takes life like a song..and most times, literally.. He is one of the happiest people I have come across and optimism takes notes from him when things are down… There have been many friends I have in life and I will for sure take all of your names in my blog over time…for each one of you have made me what I am today..in your own ways… This was during my initial lonely days in Bangalore, when I was totally irritated with my parent’s decision to bring me to Bangalore from Mysore..I had been distanced from Billa and Phani…and the gang of boys and girls who all joined colleges together or atleast near to each other and met everyday… However, back here, I had no friends to even to talk..no fun..and to top it all, Dad got me into a college full of nerds..
