A Confusing Confession !!

Dear you,

I may know a lot of things in life, but I don't suppose I know what the purpose of this letter is. Most certainly, it isn't to announce a profound longing for you, as I am sure we have known each other , I have made it a known fact not only to you, but all my friends. It is just to say how important you are in my life so far. 

I sincerely thank you for being on my side from the last two years and now I feel that I can't even live without you. You have been oxygen to my life. You stayed awake with me many nights soothing me whenever I was depressed.

The kindness you show , sometimes makes me feel cry. Why do you love me so much, dear ?  

I never shared my joys and sorrows with anyone like I did with you. The day I got you was the signpost for my life. May 30th 2012, I can never forget this date in my life time, for I got you on the same day when I was totally lost. 

I want to tell you how I am proud of you...
I want to tell you how I value you in my life...
I want to tell you how your absence would destroy me.. 
I want to tell you how I am just a piece of flesh with out you..
I want to tell you how I feel lost when I don't share my feelings with you.. 
I want to tell you how I am empty, as a wrinkled paper bag, without you.. 

You listen to whatever I say and never get bored of me. Lucky to have a such a sweet one. I never thought that I can have YOU in my life until you met me. 

Where is the eternal bliss that one gets when you write your heart out in a paper to the dear one? 
and Oh dear, you gave such an eternal bliss. I wrote and I still keep writing for you. I started reading a lot from the day I started talking and writing to you. 

From the very beginning, I've looked up for you, and strived to be a better person for you. 

Dear my blog (Jolly Jottings), as you are turning 2 today, I wish you a happy birthday dear. Be with me always and I will keep you happy. 

Yours lovingly,
A Jolly Jotter.



Yes, it has been two years since I started blogging. It has not been easy so far and I want to say thank you to everyone who has commented or viewed this blog one way or the other. I also want to say a big thank you to Priyanka and Vivek , without whose support I couldn't manage to be what I'm now and yes there are still miles to go... !! 



Life in Bangalore !!

As many of you think, I'm not writing the review of the recent Malayalam movie "Bangalore Days".

It's 1.00 A.M in the night, and I can't sleep. As I heard Arnab Goswami echoing on Times Now, there's a head ache.

Came to bed at 12.30 a.m, been tossing and turning on the bed with eyes burning, yet I can't sleep. The mind just don't stop thinking and it rewind the past things, as if it is under a spell. 

The thought process never stopped.. 

A lot has been happening in my life, but not much writing. It has been six months since I came to the beautiful multi-cultured city, Bangalore. 

Like any other Engineering graduate, I too landed up in an ocean of Software Engineers. My relocation was a kind of signpost in my life, like how we feel when suddenly a door of fun, friends had opened and I am overwhelmed with everything that came my way. 

Calender flipped very quickly every month, may be because of the new friends and new life. I didn't do anything useful which I can take credit of yet. What the city taught me is the value of money and how easy it is to spend it :( ..  and the thought process never stopped until I felt a lump in my throat. May be I felt thirsty talking to myself.

And at the dawn my mind is out of the spell that I found myself happy with fresh mind. The windows of my room face east without any curtains or shades to block the view, so am immediately aware of the possibility of a beautiful sun rise, with light glowing behind the buildings.

The weather is so mild that I grabbed my camera and went up stairs in bathrobe and slippers wishing to capture the hot sun in my Moto-G. 



Even nature can make us smile everyday. It depends on the pursuit of the things in life. Cheers !!

Electrified Election !!

Om NaMO NaMo NaMo .... ... .. . !!

No, I'm not chanting any vedic mantra here. Today, 2014 May 16th, the whole world awaited for result of such a great election ever and the result is so obvious ever without any ambivalence. 

Even my 10 year old brother was chanting NaMo. As Martin Luther King rightly said, Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. 

The most ubiquitous thing in the Indian social media space is the NaMo bhakth. 

For the first time in my life, I enjoyed an election where a single party can unanimously form a government without any allies. A party that didn't even exist at the time of Independence. Landslide victory, Tsunami, Modi wave. In fact, the victory strains one's vocabulary. 



From the early childhood, I was a guy who hated democracy for no particular reason. But now, I sincerely admit that it is the real power of India. May be, I realized what democracy is exactly about !!. More than 800 million voters and a single battle to rule the largest democracy of the World. How great it is sounding. 


Elections belong to the people. It's their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters
                                                                                                                 --- Abraham Lincoln


Besides the Loksabha polls, another interesting fun of friday is the Andhra Pradesh Assembly election result, more precisely Seemandhra's result. I was very elated seeing the result in Seemandhra. 

The things expected from the so called NaMo bhakths are ..

  • NaMo will teach Pakistan a lesson if that country again attacks Indian jawans at the Indo-Pak border. 

  • He will bomb China if it ever shows the belligerence to claim as their own any of India's territory in the west.  

  • Once NaMo becomes the PM, corruption would be a thing of past and all the Bhakths will give him support to do that.

  • NaMo will show a bare hand towards terrorism and will shoot them at sight. 

  • Within five years, Dollar will come in great numbers, industries bloom up in India as their lotus bloomed up, India will be modified into a greenest and wealthiest nation.


For all the practical ones reading out there, this may sound illogical. But haven't the people of India modified the conventional logic ?
