Bidding Farewell to my PC



A gift from my parents when I was in the 9th grade, more than a mere object, it holds memories much greater.

I remember playing GTA Vice City and Hitman, we all wish we had those cheat codes in life, 'comeflywithme', 'fannymagnet'.


I remember the nerves and excitement I felt, awaiting the results of my 10th-grade public exams while staring at its screen.

I remember getting awe-struck by looking at photos of Dubai city that my cousin sent in an email.

I remember burning DVDs with the photos, it's funny some people reading this might wonder why the hell they burn,lol

I will remember today, as it rests in scrap, obsolete and forgotten, its purpose and function now long gone, Yet the memories it holds remain timeless, A treasure trove of moments to look back upon.

My dad is my Meiyazhagan

Image
If you’ve watched Meiyazhagan (a Tamil movie), you’ll understand what I’m about to share. The film beautifully explores nostalgia, family, and friendships. And last week, I had my very own Meiyazhagan moment when Dad visited me. I live in Dad’s hometown, and he gets excited whenever there’s a local event. It’s his favorite place, but work and responsibilities often keep him away. Last week, the Vinayaka temple here held a special event—the very temple Dad helped build when he was a teenager. He still tells endless stories about how they pooled funds and made it happen, and he cherishes those memories deeply. (Quick note: I would recommend listening to this  Song  while you read this blog) This time, he arrived with a ton of luggage—including a big bag of drumsticks he wanted to donate for the temple’s annadhanam. He could have just sent money, but he carried that heavy bag all the way here. That effort itself felt so genuine. As he unpacked, Mom called and said jokingly, “Ma...

Picturing our way to Kandy, Srilanka

Image
Wrote a letter to my wife remembering our travel experience at Srilanka and got it printed and delivered using delivery apps, which is the first of its kind experience for me and here is the letter.  After spending our first day at the hostel in Colombo, we woke up early to catch the first train to Kandy. I still remember that morning so vividly — you asked me to wait outside the women’s washroom while you finished getting ready. You were shivering, wrapped in that white towel… and every time I see you after a head bath, I’m reminded of that baby from the Johnson’s Baby ad. Because, to me, you’ll always be my baby. (Also… please bathe twice a day, okay? Uhh!) We walked up to the nearest bus stop, and you were already buried in your phone, figuring out our next destination — our itinerary was being built on the fly. Honestly, most of our Sri Lanka trip happened like that. If someone ever asks me about our itinerary, I’d confidently say, “Oh, we just went around South Sri Lanka in a ...

The food we ate in Srilanka

Image
Last month, my wife and I traveled to Sri Lanka to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Here’s a glimpse of the food we enjoyed during our stay. We took an early morning flight from Chennai. If you’re familiar with the boarding process and the high prices of airport food, you’ll understand how hungry we were. We stayed up all night to catch the morning flight, and thankfully, Air Asia served breakfast. It was my Anadtha Sukhebava moment. 1. Biryani: After landing in Colombo and checking into our room, it was almost 2 PM. We took a quick shower and hit the streets for lunch. Following a suggestion from the hostel staff, we walked into a restaurant two blocks away and picked two types of biryani from their display. The biryani wasn’t exceptional, but we ate it to satisfy our hunger. One thing that stood out to me was how they included an egg with the biryani—I wish this were a universal standard! The chicken pieces weren’t as tender as I’d hoped, but we ate it anyway. After all, protein is...
