Although I am from a temple going traditional Hindu family. I was not introduced to the Hindu holy book "Bhagavad Gita" at early age. I remember searching for ways to kill my boredom during one summer holidays in +2(12th standard, around 14 years of age). During that time, I took a small book of Bhagavad Gita. I initially thought that is the summarized version, as all the religious books I saw till then are simply huge. To my surprise, that small book is all of Bhagavad Gita. I came to know then that, this book is only 700 poems in Sanskrit. Luckily, they gave Telugu translation next to every poem.  As a teenager and someone who is not religious, it is not easy for me to understand easily. One thing I like in this book is, it is not something dedicated to just praise the Lord. Rather, it is a discussion between 2 people. Krishna, who is the Lord and Arjuna, who is a confused person. At no place in the book, I see Arjuna just blindly accepting what Krishna says. Arjuna questio...

 It is close to 3 years since I got relocated to USA from India. I have to say my experience here is better so far. Ofcourse, I have to- Live away from family Won't get home food and  Have to fill Visa documents every now and then.  I know, this is too much to give up. But, still for what I got for return, I am happy with it. Some of the nice things are- Lot less honking. Lot less pollution. Excellent roads. Great hospital care. (Though costly) Registering and availing services is lot easier. (Like getting electric connection, state id and so on) Great parks for refreshment.  Very near to high tech industry. So, quality of work is great. Increased income. Won't be bothered by people curious about our personal life. I am now able to do somethings that I didn't do in India. Some might be doing these back in India already, so it is only me who didn't do these back home but doing them now. I am able to run on footpath adjacent to road whenever I want. Back in Chennai/Hyd...

 Around 5 months back my first kid arrived. It is not possible to tell in few words, how awesome it felt. Then started my struggles, basically it is language problem- I won't understand what he is crying for. He don't know how to make me understand why he is crying. Ofcourse, crying is the only language he knows and unfortunately there is not much variation in his cry for what he needs.  I try to feed him when he is irritated with wet diaper. I try changing his diaper when he only want to play or entertained. I try to play with him when he actually want to sleep. I try to put him to sleep when he is struggling to burp. In one sentence, it is a miracle if I get these things right in first try. Shockingly or luckily, my wife mastered his language in no time. Ofcourse, she found a new way to get angry on me as I am getting so confused. I don't blame her for this, I totally deserve her anger here. So, I voluntarily gave her right to understand what my son wants. I only do what ...

I always like writing. It might be in my journal or Facebook. I am not so punctual till now and I don't assume to become punctual all of a sudden. But, I always want to have a place to put my thoughts without thinking about frequency. Found this simple way recently(it is actually re-founding, as I remember seeing this long time back. Might be during collage time). Anyway, I have my personal thoughts and opinions now. I can write them here. I can even put down my fictional stories here. Let's see how I will do...
