If only......

"I love your dark green shirt! It goes so well with your gray eyes" she told him.
He smiled. His smile always made her melt. She leaned close to him and could smell his Old Spice aftershave...another familar scent. She leaned over to take some papers from his desk. Theirs arms brushed and a tinge of pleasure ran down her spine.
He was a big support in her life. Since his desk was right next to hers at work, they also shared a lot of stories about their coworkers. He could read her face so well and konja sogam therinjalum he would be right beside her making her feel better.
"Hmm....how I wish life were different" she thought walking home from the bus stop tired after a long day. He always offered to drop her but she refused. He understood.
She walked to find that his car was already at home. The TV was blaring ,with chips strewn all over the place.
"Enna innikum late?" he asked, his black eyes glowing with irritation.
"Sorrynga naraiya velai ....I shall start cooking in a minute" she said, getting ready to make his favourite pulao. "If only life was different........" she sighed!

Tamizh Puthandu Vazhthukal!!!!!

Chiku buku chiku buku rail....


Vazhakai oru rail payanam. You keep going towards your destination ….in that time you meet people who get on and off …some of them leave an imprint you will never forget......

One of my friends said this to me today – “You have made a very sweet impression in my life!”. I was touched to hear that........there are very few people you connect with instantly and it really saddens me when you cannot be with them forever. All you can do is cherish the moments you spent together....

“Naan urumai illamal thavikinren,
Naan azhthukonde sirikinren!”


There are certain people in life who you get very close to but you know this phase is only going to last for a short time…….after a period of few hours/days/months/years life is going to take you in separate ways.

These are thoughts put together due to the fact that in a matter of months, my destination will arrive and I will be seperated from few people in this world who I care for very much.......I know emails and phone calls can keep u in touch constantly....but nothing like a face to face conversation.....

"Nee illamal ethu nimmathi?
Nee than ingu yen sannidhi."

Mamma Mia!!

Yesterday I saw Mamma Mia, the broadway musical based on the songs by ABBA. It was absolutely fabulous!!! The music was enchanting and lively and the charecters had played their role to perfection.The costumes were very colourful with a blend of blues and pinks in every scene. The women were gorgeous and the men handsome!!!The story is set on a Greek island and is about a daughter's search for her father. For more of the story click here.
The show had come to our city and as students we got "discounted" tickets which were $36 each. I have always wanted to see a broadway show and decided that this time I am not going to miss it irrespective of the cost! The play was worth the money and much more....
The auditorium was half empty so for the $36 tickets we got a chance to sit at the $56 seats. What else could make a desi happy?
If you do get a chance to see Mamma Mia, do not miss it!
