Amorphous Thoughts

Inorbit mall. Burrito bowl for lunch. Tastes good. These guys should work on presentation. You can get better food around Hitech City than this place. Again, nice place to sit and chat for hours. 

Food Coma. Curd 👌

Almost two weeks. After recovering from a mysterious Knee Injury.

High!  What gives you high? This song or that drink? While my friends were having a drink there was a comment that it is never too late to try. All of a sudden, this song has started playing in my mind. If someone drinks and not wasted to be in this kind of zone, better not drink. That nadaswaram just blends into the rock music and that chorus is mind blowing. Anirudh is a genius!

Ten Drowning Street We were supposed to go to Bikinerwala but landed here.  People usually visit this place for drinks. We went in a group of five and two of us don't partake. Of all of us, people might of thought that we both were drunk.  We have ordered executive thali and for the very first time i came out of restaurant feeling hungry. All i got was a small bowl of jeera rice and Paneer Lababdar. Paneer Lababdar is authentic. First class! I first had this Afghani dish in a dhaba near by our office and it just melted in the mouth. Sex on the plate. Infact, lababdar means strong desire. Whoever named the dish, they did it right.  If there is anything that i liked on par with Lababdar, it is the view. 

First things first, i liked it !  For me, this movie isn't realistic. No way near!  This movie is not about patriotism. Don't get fooled.  However, i really liked the way writers expressed themselves through the characters.  It seems writers aimed at establishing Ramam's character with two virtues, Duty and Love. May be that is the reason why they named protagonist after Ram.  While it is very easy to institute "Duty" in a soldier role, it is no cake walk to manifest the other virtue. While protagonist is named Ramam, it is natural to name the lead actress as Sita or Janaki. I'm glad they went with Sita Ramam.   While all the characters have emoted so naturally, it is the conversations between the characters that etched on my memory. I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation between the two lead characters. Sheer poetry! I'm envious of writer who has used simple words to describe Ramam's admiration towards Sita. "మీరు అసలే సీత " This one liner by...

Big Sigh! Don't ask the reason! I was supposed to fall asleep two hours back! 😞

No Onam Sadya near by. ☹️ I need to make some Kerala friends just for Onam Sadya. 

Routine for Life! I face my dragons everyday I find the courage to chase them away. I stop, I breath, I center, I observe; I challenge my thinking when it's absurd. I choose the thoughts that are best for me, And those that are closest to reality. I find the spirit that is truly me And serve the world to set it free. I don't have to do what I've always been I learn and grow and that's how I win. - Larry Wilson, 2004 Excerpt from Play to Win!: Choosing Growth Over Fear in Work and Life

When i work, often i leave the choice of music to Youtube  and now i'm stuck with this song. While everything sounds so soothing in Arijit's voice, it is the lyric that caught my attention. Agar Ishq Se Hai Mila, Phir Dard Se Kya Gila Is Dard Mein Zindagi Khush-haal Hai, Yeh Dooriyaan Filhaal Hain Writing is an art! 

Acceptance. It just occured to me that Acceptance is key to happiness. Acceptance compounded over a period of time helps a great deal in pursuing happiness. 

Since Saturday morning have been running all kinds of errands for our community Ganesh celebrations. Just came to home after Nimajjanam. Hot shower never felt this better. Comfort of our bed is often undervalued.  Tired!!

Buffets no longer entice me.  All i crave for is soul food.  A simple thali can do magic.  'Ala Liberty' is the destination today. Choice of  colleagues. Kruthi  and Amma likes this restaurant very much. Whenever they force me here, i go, Meh!!  Food is very decent, but i have been to this place so often, my palate throws a swear word at my CNS.  Dal Makhani is one dish which is consistently good. Now a days, lunch is more than food. We tend to discuss life goals, karma and work.  

 If my fitness journey continues for a long time, God willing, this day would be a milestone. I have become nonchalant since last two days and was trying to find the purpose. Out of blue,  i have hit the gym in the morning and now i'm tired physically and mentally. If i sustain the day without sleeping, there is a good chance that i get tired and slide in to sleep. Touchwood!
