An Adventure Evening

Some of my friends planned for a visit to an adventure park located in Vianden, Luxembourg on 12 Apr 2014. Since I was not completely recovered from my joint pains, I was pretty sure that in no way I can be part of the trip. Just the previous day, one of my very grood friends was telling me that she also wanted to go there. But she was looking for some one to form a group, since the others already did their reservations online. Something was pestering me inside to take the chance and to try out the adventures. With a blind hope and pseudo-confidence lying inside me, we did our registrations.

நான் கடந்த 2013

காலம் காலமாக தமிழ் பஞ்சாங்கமும் நாட்காட்டிகளையும் பார்த்து வளர்ந்த மரபினர்கள், மேற்கத்திய கலாச்சாரத்தின் வழி மாறினோம். இன்றைய தலைமுறை குழந்தைகள் எத்தனை பேருக்கு தமிழ் மாதங்களின் பெயர்கள் அத்துப்படி! உலகமயமாகி வரும் சமுதாயத்தில் நமது கலாச்சாரத்தையும் மனதில் நிறுத்தி, அடுத்தவரின் கலாச்சாரத்தின் நல்லவைகளை ஏற்று வாழ்தல் சாலச்சிறந்தது. அதுவே எதார்த்தம்!

Shades of Colours

Beauty is not in colour; 

It is in the perception; 

It is in how you see things.

Treasures Unearthed

I still remember my High School 6th grade lesson titled 'What I found in my Pocket?' by GK Chesterton. Thanks to my English teacher at that time - Mrs.Meenakshi. Her way of articulating stories in classes and method of teaching made the lessons unforgettable.

Like how GKC narrates the memories he recalls when he was looking at each of the things from his pocket, I also had similar one when I was seeing some of the things I found in my room. These are those which I used once, but now these are like a expensive treasures.

Hitches after UBUNTU installation

I faced a few hitches after installation of Ubuntu. I wanted to share my experience-how to resolve issues without spending time searching google and asking forums.
