Do you like travelling?  I always had passion for travel, may be because of my childhood memories. My parents and me used to travel often during summer vacations. Mostly travelled around whole of Tamil Nadu, India.  May be I just love the idea of travelling, right from packing stuffs, counting down the number of days to start of the trip, seeing around new places, trying out the famous local food. Loved doing every single thing about the travel!  As years passed on, just re-kindling my memory on how this passion grew in me. The person behind my passion is my dad, who was also a History Teacher by profession. He shared a lot of Tamil history to me. We used to travel to different places in Tamil Nadu, relating to the History. At home, we used to have many Maps (not google map, Hard copy of official Maps!) World Map, India Map, State Map, District Maps etc.. This helped me to see through the geography of places. Note: I have my own World map, and mark the places visited :)...

How are you?!! Days getting busier to all of us and a quick pulse check.. "how are you .." Have you ever asked yourself how you are doing,. We should take time to listen to our body, it gives signals to even slightest change in the routine inside which is like a wake up call. Normally we tend to ignore it or go past it. We should start listening to us. It's always good to take care of self, so that we could take care of our loved ones.  Recently I experienced a reality check which showed me how physically unfit I am! (no kidding.. it's fact).  In 2022 I came out of my comfort zone and gave myself some me-time, completed some of the items from long pending and lengthy " To do " list. Experienced travelling, surrendered to the nature, created some blissful memories. And then reality hit me hard. I was in a trip to Bali and had to walk a lot to get to the famous natural tourist spots. It was 7 days trip, and I pushed myself for few days.. may be out of enthusi...

A very happy New Year 2023!!  It’s the time for most of us to think about what to do in upcoming year. Resolutions, my first one is that I have to strike out all items in my To Do list planned for 2023. Let me revisit by 31-Dec-2023 and update on how it went :)  But before that I thought of listing down few life lessons from 2022; sharing it with a slightest hope that someone out there could relate. Don’t dwell in the past, it will swallow your present and there wont be a past to think about in the future! :D People’s perspective towards something will tend to change, so don’t make any judgements based on what you hear from others. Let time tell you what to do.  Don’t try to solve all the problems, some will remain unresolved.. and it’s ok for it to be like that.. Let us continue exploration of life. It’s called, “the Acceptance” :)  There is this one person who needs your attention and needs to be in your priority list.. and it’s none other than “YourSelf”. Yea, we ...
