Dancing to the tunes

Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.
-- Aristotle

I saw this boy at Jaipur Palace, dancing to the tunes of his master to please the potential clients and to get money. Isn’t it same like our lives? The only difference I see is that we dance inside four walls.

Friendship has no finish line

No matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.

We get Friends wherever we go. But the sad part is we lose them quite easily as we get clutched with commitments, responsibilities, goals, etc. Friends are becoming like needles in the clock, run non-stop, meets once in a while and that too for a very short time.

Don't break the Chain


A person Who spends some time on His Knees for Prayers in front of "GOD' will never find difficulty to stand on his Feet throughout his Life.. !


When we were very young (my brother & me), my father made it a practice to say a simple good night prayer, before going to sleep - starting with “Ommachi Kappathu” (Those who know Tamil can understand this word, others please excuse). Despite its funny content, we continued it for more than 30 years and passed the baton to our Children and my son is saying that daily before going to sleep. Indeed I am proud of this...!!!

Testing Patience




Many a times we come across this kind of people in our everyday life. They neither progress not allow us to. Only with patience and perseverance we can overcome these struggles.

Grudges are a waste of time and happiness. 
Laugh whenever you can; Apologize when you should. 
Most important let go of things, which can't be changed.

Let's enjoy the World around us

We're so busy watching out for what's just ahead of us that we don't take time to enjoy where we are.

This beautiful door stands at the entrance of Kapaleeswarar temple at Mylapore, Chennai. I am not sure how many of us would’ve had time to stop and look at this fascinating art. Next time when you go there, please do...!!

Keep Moving in life

What saves a man is to take a step, then another step. It is always the same step, but you have to take it, otherwise you’ll be swept away.

Playing in the beach sand is one of the most cherishable child hood funs for every one of us who’re blessed with Sandy beaches in their cities. Building sand castles, breaking the ones made by others, watching the waves sweeping away our foot marks, holding daddy’s hand while facing waves....man!!! it’s was bliss!!!!
I miss my childhood days –a lot...!!!!

Willingness to Learn

Instead of thinking about what you're missing, try thinking about what you have that everyone else is missing


I saw this boy trying to learn swimming in Cauvery River at Srirangam. I was astonished by his creativity,willingness and enthusiasm to learn with whatever material available with him. It was contrast to our so many corrupted & procrastinating bureaucrats who complain about non-availability of facility to get away from carrying out their responsibility.
that day I learnt many things seeing that boy.

The Love of Nature

Nature doesn’t hurry, yet everything is accomplished – Lao Tzu

I love Marina beach, especially in the morning hours. The coolness of the atmosphere, less chaos (compared to evening crowd), the sound of the waves are always a pleasure to be part of.

Mother Love


Mother - that was the bank where we deposited all our hurts and worries.  ~T. DeWitt Talmage

Mother Love is same in all spices. This picture was shot at my office premises while this Mother-Kid pair was taking rest after a hefty lunch. I could see how comfortable the puppy was under the safe custody of its Mother.

Train - A Fancy then and even now



 If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older.  ~Tom Stoppard


Train, Rain, Aeroplane, Elephant are some of the things which every one of us will never tire to see. They’re always an amazement to our eyes and stimulate the child within us.

Shot from an over bridge at Egmore, Chennai on a cloudy Sunday afternoon. Waited for nearly half an hour –amid the growing impatience of my cousin – for the train to arrive in my direction and favourite position.
