Seen this tag passing through many blogs from past 1 week. Now, I hardly remember me writing on a piece of paper since few years. Might be, got addicted to typing and using net for mails and stuff. :(


The last time I wrote in Telugu(the language I speak), was, might be the time, when in college. In those days, I used to write slokas from a book. I even used to write letters to my grandparents as they were far away. And after marriage, the one in telugu was to my MIL, initially. That's the end, as far as I remember.


Coming to English, my fluent writing skills ended when I resigned my job. Now, when I look back on to my book shelf, I observe so many .NET(which was once my passion) books lying around with no use. What am I upto??? And later, rarely, I write any. And now, if I find anything interesting, I just type. So, some change within me must happen...

Now, anyone interested can take up this tag...

I am tagged by Sushma and Keerthi at the same time.

" But I believe there are times when surrendering is the most powerful action (or nonaction) a person can take. This doesn't mean using surrender as an excuse for apathy or to avoid being responsible. "

These lines are from the book "Life Lessons for Loving the way you Live" by Jennifer Read Hawthorne. The quote from this Life Lesson # 3 : Surrender to "What Is" says " Surrender is giving up control but not losing power ".

Tagged by dear Sush, and so here I go. What I need to do, is to list out my favourite material possessions.

From my childhood , I was accumulated with greeting cards which I preserve them even now. Even slam books took their role. Gradually, I treasured SAI's posters and books, which I even got them in the form of gifts. As days passed on, my collections included key chains, soft toys, hand bags, artificial flowers and now my blog(which itself is a precious collection). But, the gifts me and H exchanged were lost while returning from US initially (which were in one of the boxes, on the way through ship), since they were not insured. A painful memory. Might be, a lesson to not be attached. Learning still. :). Life is a series of lessons, right?

Now, have a glance through few of my collections.

Now, I tag everyone who visits my blog. Do take up, when you find time.

I have been tagged by Sush, Lalitha and Mommyof2. Thanks to all of you for directing me towards myself. I just clubbed both 9 weird things about self and 8 things about myself. For the rules of tag, click here. Now, here am I...

I have got a bad memory in recalling names. The second time I see a person, I can never recollect their names. I again and again ask them until I get the same. But, I do remember their faces.

I need someone to challenge me(only if I am interested in it).If any one says you can't do this, I'll definitely show them that I can do it. This happened with my brother and my colleagues too. My brother used to tease me that I can never drive a two wheeler. But, I learnt it by myself and showed him the same.

Hearing a dialogue of a movie, I can try to tell the movie name. But sometimes even this is not working these days. ;).

I love to eat food when served hot and it should be tasty. Even though I cook, I can never eat it, if it's not to my expectations.

I read novels, but never again. It will be only once. Once done, it's done. Might be because, I capture the picture in my mind while reading. The only thing I try to read again and again will be parayanam of a God, that is to test my patience, my recollecting capabilities, my commitment.

I can never eat items when they are too cold. Let it be a cool drink or an icecream. I remember you sush, the way you used to tease me when I asked for 'cool ga leni cool drink ivvandi' means 'give me a cool drink which is not cool'.

I am quite often interested in anyone talking about spiritual matters or something related to God. I just join them very fast and talk a lot about the same. I am very much excited about it. And at the same time, I enjoy worldly matters.

I talk a lot when I know a person, else I just try to keep silent until I know them.

I hate the people who try to act smartly(negative dealings). I just try to correct them, if possible.

Now I tag :
the path, drama diva, my life, viva forever, white forest, scientist suresh, ..., young indians, random thoughts.
