"Can I ask you a question?" asked this girl.  "Yeah, that'll be fun!" I replied back. "You know that blog, which you wrote about your crush. Who was it?" The sharpness of the question shot me down. If it wasn't for this girl, I would have said the name without hesitation. Crushes or Infatuations are common for boys unless for some nerds. My thought of being a nerd was proven wrong when I got a higher rank in Engineering entrance. 36087 is a great number, but it was more of a statement that I was no less a common boy. I had few crushes in college. A couple of which I still ponder on. It did not happen at the very same time. That'd seem inappropriate. One in first year and the other distributed around the last 2 years.  By the end of my first year at college, I knew I had something going on with a girl. But the fact that there were too many bees buzzing around her head, made it a short-lived one. It was Christmas which incited the...

Aanandam a movie portraying the story of a college tour, released in 2016 is not the talk of this write-up. But yes it is!  Being a lazy movie buff I often get into this habit of prolonged movie watching spree. And that's how I got to see this movie a few days back on Television. During the time of it's release, I still remember my "over-hyped" movie critic friends tagging it as an extremely "Panjara" movie. One of the DQ(aka Dulquer Salman)fan who was all praise for a movie like "Bangalore Days" seemed very disappointed by this effort. In fact, I thought his gang in college would like this movie the most. Given, the fact that they were the No.1 "Panjara" team in my class and the first thing I was reminded of was their gang, after watching the film. Now that college is over this discussion is irrelevant. Sorry "Panjara" team! Coming back to the movie. Honestly speaking(Oh! Forgot the fact that I was writing), I wishe...

    PASSION ! Google gave me two suggestions for my search " passion meaning ". Of which the most likely definition that I could infer from my 18 years of studies was this " strong and barely controllable emotion " .    I had strayed into writing this blog with an incomplete answer to my question. If I go with the definition I had agreed to in the beginning, then finding an answer may seem so painless. Cricket was and continues to be my breath of life. I never get bored following this modest answer. And this modesty is what draws a fair degree of incompleteness.    The conflict arises here, and rightly so. When I dig in deeper into my passion, be it cricket,music or caricatures;the solitary reason that leaves the rest in solitude is MONEY. So, I began questioning the "modest" answer! Why cricket/music/caricature? And I got  a sequential answer like the "fibonacci series",the consecutive ones getting added on to give a completely new ...

            Ah! I am about to say this wonderful incident which took place in "mydream avenue" at "some timeduringmysleep". Well,now you got it,right?(it's a fantasy that I am about to deliver). Yes,it is really worth reading( Please don't confuse that I am bragging for readers at the moment). But, this tiny little incident will give you an idea about the current generation in India, jokes apart at least in Kerala.             Two kids were standing near the gate of some school somewhere in my city(don't forget the place that I had mentioned in the first para). From their somewhat hurried lip movements, I could smell a horrible day that had just passed by for the 13 year old looking kids(oh! yeah they seemed like kids,the reason which you will find about in the next few lines). I took a few steps towards them. "Oh! you are so girlish Varun... Otherwise...Otherwise you would have dropped your habit of p...

Let  me present to you an analogue to the Indian Judicial System. Once upon a time exactly 64 years ago , during one of the celebrated hours of the day a child was born.Sonny was actually born on  26th January 1950.The same day his jubilant dad bought him a gift ,a 1950 model car. Even though the gift was brought in with a prologue that it would commemorate his son's birthday,it was actually meant for the whole family. The car was treated to be a priceless possession and was flaunted every time, given an opportunity. Things went fine,since Sonny's 10th birthday. They had their occasional drives,rides and party.Until that particular day,no one had actually realized about their ailing member in the family.Yes,the car.It was showing glimpses of ageing. All of a sudden it had started producing noises as creepy and irritating ,at times even overtaking little Sonny's screams.But his da...
