Scribble

Its been long since I thought of posting abt my vacation. It was one helluva time to be back with family. The sashdiabthapoorthi function was awesome. Though one hates relatives...some times it feels good to be back amongst the people you know. That too after a year in exile.

Then we had a trip to all the temples in and near Swamimalai. You name it, we saw it! Amongst those, we went to where our munnorgal (ancestors) lived. It was a lovely small village named "Pudhu Agraharam". As peaceful that you could hear a snake hiss at a 4 km distance. Things were greener there. People were friendlier. And hey never ask any one in the village if the distance to your destination is walkable. Our "walkable" and their "walkable" are two planets apart.

And what is life in chennai with out a nonchalant drive in what people here call death machines - Two wheelers. I had my share of drive and even made a namaskaram (blame it on speed breaker) to the people of "Kotturpuram" near Anna university. Driving four-wheeled version was a different experience altogether. I seriously did not find courage to leave the rear-view mirrors open in the city of Selaiyur.
How I feel today?
Today, I feel like standing on top of the tallest building and scream to the entire world that I am NOT a flexible guy. Yeah I am libran and supposed to be the guy who takes it all but maintains the equilibrium but I am sick and tired of it.
If people kith and kin to you take you for granted, that's one level. But when people in work also does that, that's heights! I was stupid enough to bring it to this level but I call it quits now!

No one likes it when he or she is taken advantage of. I hate the fact that I had to block my 'be nice' instinct due to interactions with act-nice-but-not-so-nice bharatheeyars.
