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 !!!

I finished reading The Alchemist. It's a must read. Now reading Da Vinci Code. Had read love story 2 years back and don't ask my emotional state after I finished reading...LOL!!
Wishing you many such beautiful days in Tirunelveli!! Nice to have you back on blog!

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 .
