Eli Race

Vanakkam!!! Vandanam!!! Namaste!!!
I have always stuck to impulsive writing but well mulled over. I was just going through my posts which I had written during my PG days. It has a variety of topics. Those were the days when I actually looked beyond.
I really wonder what has happened to me these days.
✓Getting up in the morning
✓Getting ready with days work in mind
✓Going to Office
✓Coming back from Office
✓Thinking about Office
✓Dreaming about Office.

I have got entangled in the rat race. There was a time when I used to pester all my contacts list with a daily dose of 100-150 forwards. Today I hardly have time for a single friend. "Machi Saavu adikaranga da naa konjam nerathula koopdran" has become my usual dialogue. Taking Official calls has made me hate Mobile phones to the core. "Don't you understand I am busy with work. How many times should I tell you" is my reply when my wife calls. There were times when I used to watch 4-5 movies at a single stretch. It has been converted to daily dose of 10 mins of a movie. Remaining nalaiki oru 10 minutes paakalaam. I simply miss the things right in front of me.
I sometimes wonder if this is the case with all my friends. Ulaga neethaya ithu.
To be changed!!! Let's See!!!

Corona vin vizhaivugal

Well!!!

It is 9 long years since I left penning down my thoughts. 
So what made me write again???
CORONA. 

The name Corona may send many into a dizzy but I want to focus on what Corona has given me.
Without doubt I would say, thinking about the Corona Virus sends down chills down my spine though my head can understand that it challenges very few harshly. But what if I fall in that very few. What will happen to my family. I know negative thoughts spoil the mind but mandaiku ettunathu manasu ku etta maataengithu.

But here I want to write about the beautiful things CORONA has given me. 

I used to work for 14-15 hours a day that too being  in a public sector bank before this lockdown began but now it has come down to just 7 hours.

I am enjoying good food that my wife is cooking. Every single day she is trying a new recipe.

I have literally stopped eating Non Veg. It has been 1 long month since I ate it. Now this is some serious stuff.

I am spending more time with my kids. I am playing with them. I am telling them stories. I am making them sleep. I am having dinner with them everyday. I am watching them grow.

I am spending more time with my family. Though I miss my parents but still happy that I am able to give more time for my wife and kids.

I am slowly going back to my reading days. I have started to read as compared to the NIL reading.

I have started to click.

I have gone back to observing the psyche of my colleagues more than the work they do. This is helping me in understanding them better.

So coming back to why I kick started my blog again.???
Because this is my life my rules.
Yaaru sirikalanalum paravailla naanga siripom la.
