The teacher called experience

Think twice and again twice
Life is full of salt and spice
Put yourself first and only you
Seek your welfare over others few

Keep running and run faster
Learn the art of deceit and master
Pull others down, be a hypocrite
Continue mugging up, state and cite

It's always a competition, don't forget
Prepare, practice, have the alarm set
Work, slave and repeat everyday
Don't stop or you'll loose your say

Then, one day, this chaos stops
All insecurities come in front and pops
You learn then what you did
Was just a big, slippy skid

So breathe and breathe now
There's a world around to mow
Hands of the clock move one way
Make sure you scream your say

Holidays, festivals, fun and frolic. All these come together for a child twice, thrice a year and where is a better place to celebrate it other than 'ajja mane' or 'grandfather's home'? As it would be a ritual of relaxing for all parents and a time of excitement for all grandparents, every holiday was a dream welcome gift to a child. Yes, I too was no exception to this. Till date, no place on this planet attracts me like my cozy ajja mane. When the school bell sounded the end of classes, I used to rush back home and try help my mother give finishing touches to packing. then taking our tickets, going to the railway station was definitely fun. Hopping on the train, we geared up for a tedious yet enjoyable 18 hours on the one and only Indian Railways. Excitement always rose as we neared our destination and I was always sure that my ajja will be there waiting to pick me up from the station, no matter sun or rain. What more could be exciting for a child? It was aj...

The Women of Dakar - 2021

It has been almost a month since the Dakar Rally of 2021 began and a fortnight since it ended. The truth is that I miss it already. The excitement, the nail biting moments and the solidarity of the enduro sports and more. Hence, this is my attempt to shine a little light into the world's toughest rally till date. The Dakar Rally has been fascinating me for nearly a decade now. The fascination was pure simple - the relationship between the ride and rider was the sole focus in this endurance masterpiece of the rally world. In the recent years, my interest has been piqued by the home grown talent that has entered the gruelling race. From Aravind KP in the Sherco Racing company and CS Santosh sponsored by the Hero MotoCorp teams, Indians are entering the race one by one. This year even witnessed Harith Noah become the first Indian to complete in the top 20 as the cap of first to complete Dakar was taken by Santosh in 2018.   #44 Sanz Laia (esp), Gas Gas, Gas Gas Factory Team, Moto, Bik...

The Golden Heart Forever

My Ajja and Myself Sometimes we never realize what awakens memories, what can trigger things in your heart and what can make tears roll down your eyes. What happened to me can be explained with these sentences. Life rolls on always and as everyone knows people live and die. But no matter what we do and even try to do, nothing prepares us when we actually face such a situation. That loss is always a loss and no one else will take up that void.   Ajja was that to me. Even today, a mango, a Mitsubishi Lancer, a sprinkler, a jackfruit, a calm evening or even the tune of the morning news in BBC channel can wake the past and before I know it, my dam’s burst of my eyes.  Life is equally funny too. The mango reminds me of the day when my uncle was admitted in the hospital and both my mother and grandmother were off to the hospital to take care of him. So I became the impromptu chef in the house for ajja. After he inevitably praised my lunch and had it, (I never came to ...
