Tsunami - Two Years Up

December 26th, 2004 - Unforgetable day in the history of mankind. The feeling is still afresh in my mind. I was at my native for my cousins wedding which was on 25th December 2004. Family members were in high spirit-Enjoying, singing and dancing to glory. The very next day a shocking news reached us; Tsunami had hit most places including Chennai. Well, it was not that we knew the meaning of 'Tsunami'. It was cause we got to know something terrible had happened and there was water all over. The first thing that struck me was my sis, BIL and friends were at chennai. My throat had a lump.

For about a month after the incident, all that was flashed across mails and newspapers were Tsunami related images. It was heartrending. Orphaned kids, deprived humans - the sight was pathetic!

Couple of the many images which shook me is (was) below.

Every normal human being would be shaken by these. My mom was commenting that every odd thing done to the nature was coming back to us. Whatever, damage is done.

After reading this post, take two minutes off your work n pray for those souls who were affected for no reason of theirs. Also, for those souls who continue to exists in this world losing their dear one's.

Well, to end with would want to pen about a 'Tsunami girl' whom i have never met but is known to me. This gal doesnot hail from chennai but was brought to chennai by those rough waves. About a year back she was wedded to a chennai guy who was also looking out for a gal. Mind u this was not out of any sympathy. He was from a well-to-do family. Both guy and gal met, liked eachother and wed with their parents blessings. Now the gal is 7 months pregnant. Now does that sound like a nice and happy family. It 'was' a happy family not 'is'. The guy expired two days back. And the bitter part of the story is, it was a suicide. Reason: Unknown. All i could think was about the gal and the unborn child; the tantrums she would have to bear. God bless her with all strength.

This is just one story. There would be so many stories unsaid and unknown to us. Let's hope and pray that we dont have to face any such shocking and traumatising incidents in 2007 and other years to follow.

Prayers.

Mil gaya! :-D

Yaahoo!!! I know am shouting 'Yahoo' sitting within a 'GMAIL' account. But can't stop it! I got my ID card back!! It was safe with the driver of the van in which Itravel to work. When Itook it in my hands, the 'me' in the card gave me a grateful look. Oh I was overwhelmed! (ok I agree that was exaggeration).

Immediately I had to share the news with the world. I telephoned the two spices (about whom I mentioned in my previous post) n shared the news. Now that is termed as 'spreading happiness'.

The story of my ID card doesn't end here. This is just a beginning cause I can still choose to loose it any time. Now that's called bravery, isn't it?

ID.. kahan hai tu?

My Blog says 'Smile a lot; it costs nothing'. But I could hardly smile from 9 this morning :-(. No, it is not b'cause my lips were sealed. It is cause I lost one of my office ID cards. And the worst thing is this is not the first time! Yes I lost the same at my previous organization :-/. But I dint care to reapply cause it was the time I had said ta-ta bye-bye to my official birth place!

Let me throw light on the current incident. Yest as our boss was not in office we chilled out at office (Later during the day i wondered y I had come to office cause I had not done any work. Timesheet said nil).. Getting back to the story. I left office in great moods. My colleague and I went to our food court. We ordered some chat items. Normally I wear my tag around my neck. But yest i was carrying it in my hands. After gulping the food, we walked off.. I stongly doubt that i have left my card there :-(.

This morning when I was about to reach office, I opened my bag for my tag. But lo! it was missing. I went to the food court n searched for it, but in vain. Admist all this interrogations, I really felt we could have control F in our lifes too.

Now am in office in front of comp. But my mind is racing behind my ID card. I feel bad to think that it is orphaned. I only wish I get it back. I promise to be more careful!

N to add on to my wound there are two spices sitting next to me here. Pls note third one is on leave today. Their hot topic for today is ID cards. Grrrrrrrr. Girlies, Elephant a day Cat a day (For ppl who dint get that, it is a tamil proverb).

Me signing off now.. Prayers to for my ID card to come back to me :(.

Probably i can write on how to be more careful with ID cards.

Oh my! I had created my first blog on April 6th, 2006. On April 6th, had taken a resolution that i wud blog atleast once a week. hehe. And here i am after one n half month. Happens!

Well today i am in office at 6 in the morning! yeah sharp 6 ;-). That's cause i have to leave early from office today. Any other day i hardly get up at 6. But u know it feels so gud to travel at 6. Wow.. no traffic, no crowd, cool breeze... hmmm.. Only prob is to get up from that cozy bed. Also, to c my dear doggie giving me a luving look asking me not to leave so early. Oh! I wud leave all my work n spend my whole day with it for that. I guess i shd write about my doggie one day.

I reached office with in 10 min from home, which normally takes more than 1/2 hour. Well only -ve pt is that my team wud not b here, so u know it bugs.

Chalo let me get to serious work (!), so that i can start early ;-). Hope i get a good topic to write on the next time.. may b my doggie, my friends, my family, career, luv, life, philosophy... whatever.. letmme c which topic interests me. Well the only constraint is that it shdn't b after one n half months :-).

Well, My first post on a blog and am glad it is in my blog :-). Today on way to office i was thinking about the diff technologies available when this 'blogging' thing struck me. I was thinking how ppl take time off n seriously do the blogging. Then, i asked myself 'y dont u give it a try?'. so, here i am.

Hope my journey thro the blogging is interesting :-).
