Im addicted to coke !!

Yes u read it right..i am really addicted to Coca-Cola. I am not sure, from when did the love for soft drinks born inside me, specifically Coke, but for now, i can only say that i just cant be without it..or i will rather be restless, until i have it in my hands. To avoid that helpless situation, i always make sure that my fridge contains enough cans as backup.

       It may seems crazy, but its a fact that i just dont  like any fresh juice drinks or any kinda shake. And coz of that, every time when i am out for a birthday treat or any occasion of that kind, i just dont have to spend time in making a selection from the menu, while my friends will be pretty busy choosing the right one from the list..in most cases they select the one, they haven't tried earlier..no matter they understand the name or not! I wonder how these drinks were christened..thunder, tropic, sun burst .etc. So in that situation, i stick on to my usual Rose milk, which i find comfortable in places like that, but that too realizing the helpless situation that my favorite coke is not there.. :(

   It is really painful that in times i have to search a lot of shops to buy coke, since pepsi products are easily available in shops in Kerala. May be coz of some problems and incidents which had happened associated with Coca-Cola company in Palakkad years back. And near my house none of the shops contains coke products too, which puts me in a very situation that i have to buy from town itself. Guess what; i even put reminder on my smart phone to purchase them in time.  Am i crazy guys? :)

        During the love for these kinda soft drinks, i have come through a variety of funny incidents too. It was during a 3 day trip that my friend who noticed my love for having coke even at time of having meals, he too started ordering the same and continued it at very stoppages we had during the journey. I noticed it , but didn't even asked a word about it, since i thought like he may feel bad. As the trip went on fine and when we were having a little halt on the mean while at a renowned temple, at midnight past one, we both decided to take a walk outside and enjoy the cool  breeze, since there was ample time till dawn for visiting the temple . i should say that i really enjoy it and wish to do it always, though its not practically possible to walk at midnight here safely.

                 Walking beside the shops which are neatly decorated with lights, their connected nature with the adjacent shop, and the lights altogether really gave a feel of a garland held over the mother earth . Exploring the shops one by one and buying interesting stuffs, we became little exhausted.. Moreover the chillness of night was overriding us. After getting inside a hotel nearby, the very first thing  my friend ,who was already trembling with cold, ordered was a coffee. And guess what would have i asked for me. Coke as usual.!! My friend was really shocked and he shouted that i am really mad, that he never expect me ordering a chill Coke, at that point of night, coz believe me, the clock was showing 2:15 AM..!!

Yes buddy.. Im really addicted to Coke...Cheers!!!

PS: I dont know why he didnt tried having coke that time also with me, like he has done for the past two days. May be afraid that he might get cold. LOL

A narrow escape...

Accidents happens in life..Sometimes by our mistake or the other way. But never had i thought, that the other way, it can be so close to a disaster, like what had happened to me today. From which, now also i am just consoling myself  that by gods grace , nothing serious happened...

                  As today was the scheduled date for giving vaccine for my nephew, while returning from the office itself, i managed to collect the consulting token in advance from the Pediatrician. After finishing off the lunch from home in hast, i had no further plans for the evening since i know that the consulting and further shopping itself would keep me engaged. On reaching the clinic on the scheduled time,and waiting for the token call, i realized that its gonna take a long time. Since my parents too were accompanying my sister, a sudden thought came to my mind that, rather than sitting there for an hour and spending time on my smartphone networking, i will just take my ride for a wheel alignment checkup since it has already over run a 1000kms than the desired limit for checking..But i had never thought that, there would be an unforgettable experience waiting to happen in my life on this very day.

                  The shop was already preoccupied with another vehicle for wheel alignment and since me too had ample time to spent, i just patiently observed what they were doing with the computer peripherals attached to the wheels of that car. It was only when the whole process completed and they were removing all the stuff from the wheels, i noticed that it has already past twenty minutes. I hand over my car key to the service men there, since i dont want to take the risk of getting my wheel inside the hollow platform accidentally.  :-)

  It was during the alignment sequence process that my eyes got stuck up with a new blue machine console, which has found place in this room. The words written on it, just started a smile over my face since it was no more unfamiliar- Nitrox filling for tyres. Since i had already enjoyed the comfort of driving in nitrogen gas filled tyres in my bike, it didnt took any more time to think again and i asked the guy to fill the tyres with them. After evacuating the air present inside, the guy got engaged in filling all the tyres. It was with one of the rear wheel, that  they had to spend little more time than expected, since the nozzle got jammed in side and they had to loosen the nuts and push it out. The whole work was completed in few minutes and me too was in little hurry, since i already received a call from my dad that the checkup of the baby is over and they are waiting for me at the clinic.

                

                  I am back on wheels after paying off the bill and was really eager  to experience the new change in ride. I could really feel the floating experience as i start to ride and creep on speed little by little. Since it has been few minutes since my dad's call, i pushed the accelerator hard to reach  the spot they have been waiting for as earlier as possible. Its now when i started noticing a strange sound and at first i really mistook it for something happening outside. But as a keen observer, when comes to the matter of vehicles, i found this voice very unfamiliar and disturbing too. It was when i slightly raised the speed and then gradually slow down, i realized that the voice too was following the same pattern. 

                        To avoid further confusion i parked the car beside the road and took a complete walk all around, since i had a guess like something would have been sticking to tyres and making rubbing sound as i drive. But i didnt find anything interesting or as the reason. Suddenly one scene flashed over my mind, of the guy having trouble while filling nitrogen gas in one of the rear wheel. I Simply walked towards that wheel and checked the nuts and to by biggest shock, None of the nuts were tightened!!! Each one of them could be easily removed just by simple hand pressure and twisting. i stood there shocked for a moment, imagining the disaster which would have happened if i had left this thing unnoticed.. since my family too was waiting just a km away, for me and drive back home...

                 

     I thank god whole heartedly a lot, for being an invisible power who took care of me and alerted me at the earliest of the disaster that is gonna happen. I believe its truly the prayers that i used to say inside my mind, that i got benefited. The incident also taught me of being much more careful in dealing with such matters in future....Coz it matters not only the life of me..but also the lifes of the people who depends on me....

It was really a devotional evening...

Its like my routine to get engaged with social networking fulltime, when ever i am back at home from office, since i have least habit of taking even a walk in the evening. Today i was a bit more tired that, its my bed who took the priority to settle me down, rather than getting engaged with my PC. After having a little nap it was during my snacks time that i noticed a new message in my inbox from my friend.

                Though the little nap was pretty uncomfortable and failed to drive away my tiredness, still my eyes was too blurry to read the message content clearly and also i couldnt make out my usual guess over it. When i double checked it, after having a face wash, a smile started over my face, thinking, there is no wonder in that, i couldnt guess the message content earlier. It was a small list of slokams & stotras my best friend has sent, asking me to download.

                                Being in a successful married life, adding to her happiness, she is now carrying baby inside since 3 months. As elder people used to say, she too thought like, it would be very nice to hear devotional things during this time, since the baby inside will have a proper growth and also the mother too can avoid health issues to an extent and have peaceful state of mind. So it has now become my sweet responsibility to do as she had wished. 

              The list seems very familiar since my mom too was very much involved in hearing those of same kind and she have a nice collection. Even then, i thought like downloading all of myself in mp3 format than ripping from audio cds. The list goes like Lalita sahasranaama, Ganesha sahasranaama, Vishnu sahasranamaa...Switching on my PC, the very thing i did just after connecting to internet is, search for the 1st song in the list. The results really put me in a confusion since, there were so many artists who have performed the same song and so which one should i prefer over the other.To avoid further confusion and loss of time, i just put her a call and clearly rectified which are all she wish to hear. Back to my PC after the call for downloading the songs, i had never thought like its gonna keep me fully occupied and present me a beautiful feeling as the night falls...

          As my internet bandwidth was only capable of giving moderate speed, i thought like i will download all these songs and will login to my social networking sites later.So googling one by one in the list i queued them in the download manager. But as time passed, i had feel like its gonna take much more time and so i simply add one of the completed song in my media player; to check how is it and also to know how it feels. 

                 The lalita sahasranaama which i selected to hear began to flow through the speakers and fill the environment. i listened to it lying back on my chair and at the same time checking the progress in the download manager of the songs yet to complete. As the song continued to play, it really created a calm feeling inside me, which was really a refreshing one, since the time too was evening and my mom was busy lighting the lamp and with her prayers.The scent of the agarbathis which flowed in to my room, all way from the hall added a divinity to the whole situation. I realized how reliefing and at the same time powerful can be these songs in taking over the mind and spreading freshness and i really wish like, let me be blessed with such a enviornment every day..

                 I keep on adding each of the completed song to the playlist and It was when the power gone without any reason that, i had to come out of it and switch off the speakers. Even then i switched off the PC only after i downloaded the remaining songs using the backup supply....still dont know why i did like that.. I thank her too inside my mind, since she became the reason for such a nice evening filled with devotional touch...

The song made me lost in memories....

              Even though i love to hear songs, i rarely find any time in a day, to hear songs using headset, since i will be busy social networking and checking mails. So i used to hear the selected or newly downloaded songs , in background while, i will be busy working in my PC, which me too only slightly interested, since i cant enjoy the song whole heartedly during the whole chat, post, scrap hush bush...

          But what happened today is , a little change in routine. I normally wont switch off the PC while having dinner or most times i had the dinner too, in front of the PC only.. Thought of spending a few minuts before  the TV and watch the comedy shows, i left my room with PC off and have dinner. The bluffs going on TV could hardly catch the attention of my mind that, i simply started scrolling the music playlist in my smartphone, when i came through an unnamed track which one of my students had given me a day before..It was Pular Manju Pol from the Album En Jeevane..

                 Though the song was released pretty long before, it somehow made my mind flow along with the lyrics the moment i hear from the mobile itself. As soon as i finished my dinner, my eyes was very searching for the headset and occupied my usual corner in my bed from were i used to read magazines. It was really like a beautiful experience , since i have not been using headset for hearing song for a long time and i really felt like the female voice is singing close to my heart...just like i have always felt my baby..yes my love,baby...she use to sing well, though i have chance to hear it through phone only, lot of times..but every time, my closed eyes through out her song makes me, feel her presence close to my heart...

        Not sure, is it the female voice in the song or the lyrics which pulled me back to memories of her so deeply..or is it reminding me again and again, how beautifully she still lives inside me..now and forever...

        My music player is still playing the song and i am lost in thoughts of her, but with happiness inside my heart, that she is accompanying me in this lonely night..Miss you dear...

I fear dark!!!

Everyone will have a fear for something in their life, which they keep to themselves as a secret and when comes to my case its not at all a secret...Coz most of the people close to me know very well that i am afraid of dark a lot...

                      In this age i may be talking crazy like this, but what i am telling is truth only. At times i have thought like i have the courage to withstand even the wild animal attacks, but when comes to the matter of dark, i just set back..huh i fear ghosts!!! I even imagine their shapes being generated according to my illusion, as long as i stare at the dark portion and i cant stop doing it. Even now as i am typing, i just make sure that the windows in my room are closed, coz my mystic mind create character faces with the leaves of the branches and like they are waving at me.

                  Dont know from when i start fearing like this, but i have a vague memory that from my schooling's itself  the ghosts stories was really popular,since a crematorium was near the school and every student develops a story of his own and i am very fond of hearing it from my friends ,but at the same time fearing and losing sleep at that very night. My mom knows it well, coz she had suffered a lot , since i want her to accompany even to the next room. I am glad that i am not like that now, still i have that very fear inside me, coz i believe like if there is a god, there can be a chance of the presence of the devil too..

     

                   But to the contrary, i always have a great taste for watching English horror films and i have pretty nice collection of them too with me. So my passion for watching those continues and the fear too, only increasing as the day passes on... may be it will end one day, when i really saw a ghost and fails to recognize him... :-)

Sweet Sleep accompanied by a wonderful dream..

Its only when i heard a message tone from  my smartphone, that i checked the time and it was 12:20pm..approximately 12 hours after i get in to my bed yesterday night, after creating the blog and checking around all the settings in it.. 

          Actually i am not a smooth sleeper and i hardly sleep around 3-4 hours daily coz of my craze of being in front of the PC fulltime. I have late sleep schedule every night and what happens in morning is that, i cant skip the office timings by being late so have to woke by 6:45am daily. But what happened today is really strange..obviously its a Sunday i know which is off for my work..and i am not even bothered about my skipped breakfast...but what keeps on filling my thoughts after i woke up is the dream which i had yesterday night...during this long sleep of 12 Hours.

         Its said like we can hardly recollect the dreams we saw and in my case too its nothing different. As a person interested in photography and wishing to be in close contact with the nature, i always dream of visiting new places, away from the noise produced by cities..to be precise a forest in the heart of the mother nature. The dream i saw really took me there and i remember partially that, i had a companion too, more or less like a guide itself watching out my steps and giving instructions. 

           The whole place was surrounded by trees who stood like, they are touching the sky. We were like running very fast between them and at times using the large branch roots as support for swinging.. I can remember the thumping effect under my leg, as i run among those tress now also coz the last time i had ever run is for a racing competition  in my school, which was held years back... I had a glimpse of the deep down valleys flowing far below which made me realized the altitude at which i am travelling over the trees.. The cold breeze flowing all over was giving me a smoothing effect for my running, but i have to be concerned about the mist which appeared between the trees ,which blocked my vision in meantime. Still at a far distance i can see my companion looking back in time , just to check whether i am able to follow..Exploring deep inside the forest with all green around,and the voice of the water flowing in distance, my memory could hardly pickup all of the things i saw as we proceeded..

                 

                                    I dont know at what point of the dream i woke up from sleep but all i can say is that, it was really a wonderful experience..coz i can still feel it now.. and hoping that i will have a chance to visit that place in future...

Feeling gud....relaxing

After the first post feel like its pretty simple now..the early hiccup & all over..Huh...till now , i was simply checking the gadgets available in the blogger list, didnt find anything striking for the time being..will check back later anyway...
Since i have habit of eating snacks while working with PC at night, my mom has already kept one in the table & im having it now..may be im more hungry now, coz i feel like the biscuits are so tasty than usual.... :)
