2024 a Recap

-

One more year goes by without any major setbacks or incidents. With the way the world is going on these days, you are the most blessed when your life is utterly boring and nothing major is happening around, that means you have very less to worry about and that is how 2024 was, it was pretty much a routine and nothing fancy and I am not complaining. Personally this year was amazing as I managed to get my driving license in this country which is outrageously expensive and also I managed to get a car (Kia Niro PHEV - Steel Grey), and trust me, that car is a boon, it makes all of travel a lot easier and faster, we no more have to check for train / bus timings, walk to a far away train / bus station and especially during these harsh winter times, having a car is simply the best. I wonder how I lived in this country for a decade without a car and survived many harsh winters. Now dropping P to school or going to pick up groceries are all a cake walk, P is super thrilled that he has a car now....

2023 - A Recap

Image
So my blog has become just a piece of diary now, I don't post anything regularly and I am also running out of excuses on why I am not writing anymore, and there is no promise that I will be regular in this space in future. I do maintain this domain and try to at least post yearly recaps, so that I can go and read them when I get old. So how was 2023? by the grace of GOD, this year went without any major issues, both in personal and professional life, in this time and age, a year going by without any major issues is a sign of blessing in abundance, no one knows what is in store for 2024, and all I have is hope and blessings of GOD to sail through another year without any major issues, my dad and athai continue to maintain good health and me being far away in Denmark, their well being and health allows me to focus on my life miles away from home. Pranav has settled in his International School and has picked up speaking fluent english and is also good at maths, the only complaint is t...

2021 - A Recap

Image
  I am just relieved to see off 2021, what a traumatic year this had been for our planet, the wave of Covid that hit many countries, especially India was just too much to handle, the lives lost due to this is shitty disease has left a bad taste in all our minds, no words are enough to console the near and dear one's who have lost their loved one. When we were all set to give a sigh of relief, there came this new variant called "Omicron" which has been more transmittive and more infectious than the previous variant of this virus, this has put brakes on my trip to India this December and that means I could not do sraardham for my mom for the second consecutive year. This year we made an unplanned sudden trip to India during September-October as V's dad was cricitally ill and was admitted in the hospital in a very critical state, we all thought that he is not going to make it out, but god had other plans, he came home and is now doing fine and safe. Now if I think back, ...

Galloped at Gabba - 2021

  Oh what an exhibition of test cricket this Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2021 has been, India for sure were not tagged as favorites when they landed on Aussie soil, the One-Day games went in our favor with a 2-1 victory, but we gifted the T20's to the Aussies and then started the real test of the game, the TESTS. India were bundled for 36 (all out) in their second innings at Adelaide and with Virat Kholi departing the squad to be with his wife on the occasion of their first baby, India certainly looked depleted both technically and emotionally, to add to the misery there were some key players who were getting out to injuries, Bumrah, Jaddu, R Ashwin, Shammi all gone, India were even worried if they could pick a playing 11. Then came these youngsters Washington Sundar, T Natarajan, Shardul Thalur, Navdeep Saini, they literally filled the shoes of those experienced players and gave Aussies a tough fight. With the concluded 3 test, the scoreline read 1-1 win for both the sides and a draw a...

Get Lost 2020

What a nasty year this has been, a year to forget, a year we all hope that never repeats again. I am still searching those fucking astrologers who all came in those popular TV channels and chest-thumped that 2020 would be a year of prosperity, a year of utmost happiness and joy, they all proved that astrologers are useless assholes when they don't practice the art of astrology that well, now the whole world is laughing at them, as their predictions were just upside-down. It all started ok in 2020 and then before we all could realize what had hit us, Covid happened, it took the world by storm, threw all our lives out of gear, swallowed so many innocent lives, put millions of families in a path of no return, how many people have lost their jobs, their livelihood, loved ones, even in the month of December 2020, that shit has not settled, it has only peaked, still many countries are in lockdown, economy's are dwindling down, and there is just absolutely no escape to this wrath. I a...

SPB - Legend with a Golden Voice Rest's in Peace

  This year 2020 is continuing to be the most depressing year in my life, how many lives we have lost across the globe due to this pandemic COVID-19 (Corona Virus) and the latest victim to that nasty disease is our one and only "Paadum Nilaa Balu" a.k.a SPB a.k.a S.P Balasubramaniyam. When he released a video from the hospital saying that he is getting admitted due to "mild" Covid symptom, I was confident that he will pull through this and will be back on track to enthrall millions of his fans with his golden voice and even till last 2 days, his son SPB Charan posted a video that his dad was doing fine and he has started to take fluid diet, and all of a sudden yesterday we got a news that his situation deteriorated and he is now in a very critical stage, even though I was optimistic that he will pull through, and he does not even have to sing for us, all I wanted him to come out alive and lead a normal life, but unfortunately GOD decided to keep him next to him or p...
