Are you Superstitious?

Gotta chance to see "Provoked". It was a long time pending movie which I wished to see. So finally it's done. :-)

Went today to Ayyappan temple at Madivala in the evening.

Are you superstitious? We will say No, then why do we stop for some time when we are going outside for some purpose (say to meet a client!) and some one sneezes!!!

I used to go for long drives on my bike alone, when my friends were busy or I was in a mood for a drive. So once I was on such a mood, and decided to go towards Hosur and towards Salem and that area. I don't know what happened to me, while I was going that way, I suddenly took a turn to some narrow path away from the main NH road...The place seems to be deserted, with no one there. I looked around and there was no one to be seen. I just moved on the bike ahead and suddenly there was a pungent smell of burning flesh floating around in the air. I just looked down and realized that I was footing on a shamshaan (Cemetery). There were bone ashes in and around the ground; was not sure if that was of human or animals. There were no barricades or things like that in the area to stop entering people inside accidentally.

I just took a "O" turn (if you know what I mean) with my bike and came straight out of the place without looking behind. And that ends my long drives in my bike alone.

Later on the same day, in the evening I went to Ayyappan temple at Madivala, and after praying came back, only to find that my Bata company's Sandals were missing from the Shoe stand of the temple...The same sandals, by which I footed on that Cemetery.

The Hourglass of Memory

In the heat of the summer, when the earth seemed to breathe a collective sigh, Radhika found herself standing in the attic of her grandmother's ancestral home in the small village of Haripad. The house, a crumbling relic of the Travancore architecture, had always been a place of mystery, with its faded wooden floors and peeling walls. It was as though the house itself was a museum of forgotten years, with every object in it holding a story no one dared to tell. Radhika, however, had always been fascinated by those untold stories. Now, at twenty-eight, after years of living in the bustling chaos of Bangalore, she had returned to the house, seeking answers, seeking... something. She didn’t know what. But she felt it, like a whisper in her bones—something pulling her back to this place, to this family, to the legacy that felt incomplete. Her grandmother, whom she called Muthassi , was old. Old in a way that felt eternal, as if she had always existed, perched in her corner of the house

Handling the Mundd (Dhoti)

God! Seems like I will have a tough time handling the dhoti ("Mundd" as it is called in Malayalam) in the coming times ahead... :-P Everything is fine until the knot of the Mundd loosens up... :-D I still remember, once when I was in Kerala and went to buy something, and the damned shirt didn't had pockets. The Mundd will have a little loose space at its end where usually people keep stuffs like money. So I did the same thing, and on reaching the store, I did an MJ finding it tough to find the money where I had placed it...Damn it! I opened it completely and there comes the currency notes, down my legs.... :-P Needless to say, the shopkeeper was hysteric with laughter... Uhhhh, how do people manage it while walking, sitting and sleeping?
