Salute !!!!!

Attention... Stand At Ease... Attention... Salute !!!

When i hear the word salute, It takes me to a big ground with a number of cops holding their breath, standing like a line drawn in an algebra class with their guns. I still can retrieve the 52nd Independence Day of India when I was 10 year old, where my dad holds my hand and watched the parade. That was the first time I was been to watch an Independence day parade. Yes, obviously it was an experience, the first time in my life I saluted my National Flag with conscious. And there after every year I tries to attend the parade though sometimes I cannot. Yes, I'm bit patriotic !! :=)

After eight long years trust me, I too got saluted. No no, I have not turned to a national flag or something. It was when I was entering the gate of my work, the security guy standing over there saluted me and I waved my hands back. It is not that I'm someone special in the company rather they do the same to 'most' of the employees. I felt it as a warm welcome when they do that same like an office boy give us a hot tea early morning.

Few months later I noticed that, I stopped getting those warm welcome. I was quite surprised but later on I realized that the security guys got changed. These newbies took over the place of old buddies. Neither I'm bothered about that.

On a fine morning, as usual when I was entering the gate of my office, the person who drove in front of me got the salute and I got ignored. I was like Ok, may be he missed out me in that chilling weather. Same happened the very next morning and the day after and it goes on. Since then, I started noticing him and those people who is giving and avoiding.

Few weeks back, When myself and few of my colleagues need to work over night to submit some report, We had our dinner from the office. As a part of our decency, We invited them for the dinner. Everyone had the food, we all went back home and had a good sleep.

The very next morning, when i was entering the same office, same gate, same building, the SAME security peeped inside my car and gave me a hard salute. where I made a pity look at him. There after I started getting a big smile and salute from HIM where some others still don't.

I have read many racial attacks and racial attitude happening all around the world. But this was the first time I noticed such a thing.Should we need to feed them to get a welcome?

These security guys wear a cap where there is an emblem on the middle. I guess it is a device which automatically detects the color of the skin and passport which force them to hit their legs on the floor and raise their hands up and TUK !! Salute !!!!

Greeen..Brownn...

It was when i realized the beauty of greenery back in kerala when i was having a walk on the deserts of Qatar last week.. My clothes were filled with liters of sweat with in 15 minutes of my walk.Though it is a winter season, it is hot during noon.Still i continued my walk though i know there is no place for sentimentality or romanticism, for anything less than honesty.

If you don’t take the desert seriously, it will knock you down. The desert makes you face up to things–but it also gives back to you. Walking on the desert made me realize the feeling of loneliness though i hate being alone as everyone. It do realized me the feelings and hard work of those poor laborers who works under the hot son for hours just to survive and feed their family back home.




And the most significant thing i ever realized from the desert was the greenery back home. The huge flora and fauna, lakes, rivers, the cool climate,The sprinkles of water from the waterfall which cleanses the face. WoW !!! The place were romanticism works.. the best place to write poem's, The place were you fall love with the nature.. The best place to do what ever you want !!

It is not that I'm lazy to describe more, It is that I'm speechless.. ;=)

I love Green !!!

I Miss My College Days...

When i say i miss my college days, It doesn't mean that I actually miss 'My college' since i have never been to one rather in an off campus here in Qatar doing my B.com and heating up my head with ACCA! ;=(

When i hear the word 'College' it takes me to the imaginary world with a huge campus with lots of friends, angry teachers, sweet girls, beautiful trees, lovely birds around. It is only in movies i saw what a college life is, where guys enjoy their real part of the life with their own selected cohort. I know it is not that entertaining as I imagine.But you know, You need not have to pay anything for imagining or dreaming!! ;=)

It hurts me when my cousins says about their experience about their college days when they come to Qatar for their vacation. Rather i must say, I feel happy that they are lucky enough to enjoy their college days which I'm not blessed with .

Getting in to a college life is the turning point of ones life. Uff, i have been hearing this 'Turning point' often. When I was made to sit in a nursery, i heard my dad saying 'It is my turning point of life' Then when i passed to 1st grade, then when i passed my 10th grade, then 12th grade.. now college.. GOD ! Just realized I was turning around in life. ;=P

"Friendship is cooperative and supportive relationship between people. In this sense, the term connotes a relationship which involves mutual knowledge, esteem, affection, and respect along with a degree of rendering service to friends in times of need or crisis." - Wiki

But for me, friendship means a single soul with two bodies. From College, One have the choice to choose the friend circle they want to. One makes a 'real friendship' bond from the college than from a school or nursery. I'm happy that i made so many friends outta here in 'Qatar', remember i didn't say 'Off Campus'.


It is fun when they celebrate someones birthday's and other occasions it seems. Giving birthday bumps, Cutting out cake, partying around....... I never had a chance to taste all those sweet memories of life neither I can reminisce to my grand children when they ask me in future about my college life, rather i will sit like an old idiotic grandpa on a chaise lounge.

The most interesting part of college life is staying at hostel. God ! I remember my hostel days when i was in 11th and 12th grade. But it is said that college hostels are more liberal than school ones. We were even not allowed to use mobile phones. :=( You have more freedom in college hostel. Still it is fun to hear the way they irritate hostel wardens. I used to laugh out when my cousins says about that. Haha.. Oops I remembered the scene when they fired crackers near hostel wardens room. LOL !! I'm happy that at least i had a chance to live in a hostel though I missed my parents a lot, i learned what life is..

I live with all those stories told by my friends and cousins..

I wish i have a chance been to college.. ;=(

ഞാന്‍ നിനക്കിന്നാരുവോ...

അന്നു നമ്മള്‍ കണ്ടതാദ്യം ..
മഴത്തുള്ളികള്‍ നിന്‍ മേനിയില്‍ ന്രിത്തമാദീടും രാത്രി
കുളിര്വാര്‍ന്ന ഒരു പൈങ്കിളിയെ പോലെ
മരച്ചുവട്ടില്‍ വിറചിരുന്നതോര്‍മയില്ലേ..

നിന്‍ നൊമ്പരമാര്‍ന്ന മിഴികള്‍
എന്‍ മുഖം നോക്കി വിതുംബിയതിന്നുമെനിക്ക് കേള്‍ക്കാം ..
അന്നൊരു സുഹുര്‍തായി നിന്‍ അരികില്‍
കുട പിടിചിരുന്നവന്‍ നിനക്കിന്നാരുവോ ..

കൂരിരുട്ടില്‍ പ്രകാശമായി..
മുള്‍ വഴിയില്‍ പാതരക്ഷയായി..
ദുര്ഖട്ടങ്ങളില്‍ പടയാളിയായി ..
ഒരു സഹോദരനെ പോലെ നിന്നവന്‍ നിനക്കിന്നാരുവോ ..

ഇന്ന് നീ അങ്ങകലേ കയ്യെത്താധൂരത് ..
ഒരു വാക്ക് മിണ്ടാതെ ഒരു നോക്ക് കാണാതെ
കടല്‍ തീരങ്ങള്‍ താണ്ടി ..
ഒരു മലര്‍ പക്ഷിയെ പോലെ പാടി പരന്നില്ലയോ..

എന്തിനോ എതിനോ ഇന്നുമാരിയില്ലതാന്‍ ..
എന്നുമേ കാതോര്‍ത്തിരിക്കും ഞാന്‍
നിന്‍ സ്വരം കേള്‍ക്കുവാന്‍ ഒന്നരികെ കാണുവാന്‍ ..
പോയി മറഞ്ഞോ ആ നിമിഷങ്ങള്‍ ..

2010 Resolution!

Yea Yea !! Finally I too HAD a new year resolution..And you know what?

Being a Vegggiiee for six months... !!! :D

It was on mid of December i had this plan. Unlike the other resolutions i take, i was bit serious. It is not that I'm a fat mama! Am I ? Heyy.. No !! I don't think 75 Kg for a 6 ft guy is more. But still i just want to control having all those junks from Hardees, Mc D, KFC etc..

when the deadline was nearby, I hogged like anything as everyone do which made a sudden increase on the graph vertically from 73Kg to 75 Kg! ;o)

31st Dec 2009, Yes i remember the day when i with all other friends drove to Mesaeed Sealine Resort for a BBQ night though i remember my pledge being a veggie. It was almost 11.55 pm and my oath starts at 12 ! I grabbed as many grilled burgers i could and had. I saw my friends fagging like anything who pledged to quit smoking.

Trrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! It was 00.00 am!!! My friends continued grilling Hot Dogs, Burgers, marinated chicken, etc.. Everyone started having and i was looking like an idiot. So i too joined them with a Grin on my face and i thought let the sun rise, I ll keep up my words.

It was almost 5.00 am i reached back home. I had a good sleep and woke up for the friday prayer. Guess what mom cooked yummy chicken biriyani for the lunch. Khallaass !!!

That WAS my new year resolution. I know it is not too late to start again. But i realized there is something called dedication which i lack! ;=( ..

And I'm writing all this having a chicken escalope with french fries !!! ;=)
