Round trip to heaven

It was like getting out of a 7 PM 'Andheri-Virar' local and heading straight into lotus temple .
The difference in the pace and quality of life hit me like a ton of bricks .


I 'exist' in Gurgaon but i 'lived' there those 7 days.

I just erased the boring daily routine from my memory and did everything i felt like doing .

I cooked with amma .

I drove appa to the mofussil bus stand every morning from where he would take a bus to go to his office in Ambasamudram .

I spent hours weeding and tending the plants in the small garden in our house.

I played ' agony uncle ' listening to Meena akka's (a long term acquaintance and a pseudo family member ) personal problems .

I assembled the P.C at home and listened to Aruna sairam's carnatic vocals .

Read Davinci code.

Read 'Ask jeeves'.

Read 'Love story'.

Drove to my grandparents place and spent half a day with them .
As always,when i prostrated and took their blessings when i left their place i felt great !

And lot,lot more !!!

The father Gull was not fully right when it said 'Heaven is not a place' .

It is and it has a name ' Tirunelveli ' .

    Firang wave in office kept me off the bloggong shores for quite some time!

    I presented Alchemist to my father .(He insisted on taking 'The monk who sold Ferrari' which i kept for myself thinking that it would be better which it wasnt !!!)

    Really -Love story was as touchy as the scene in Black when the Jr Mcnally says 'Water' .I'm after Oliver's story now ...

    BTW -Noticed Seagull lines in ur blog too .
    Join the Seagull 'fanatic' club!!
