What I am trying to write here is about everything in general and nothing in particular.It is about the everyday routine of our mundane lives, where each day seems to merge with yet another and the boundaries of days and nights blur admits the burning intensity of neon lights to pave way for days, weeks and years that just roll by without any significance!
It starts with the coffee that we take everyday morning, which has become more of a habit and a ritual that has to be religiously followed instead of something that can be relished. This routine just spills into every facet of our daily lives. We have become more of zombies, operating mechanically as if we are programmed to do things. The more we do something, the less we involved we become in doing it.
When we debate at one level about the cons of science, at another level we have become addicted to the use of technology that we cannot imagine a life without it. Is it a paradox? Or have we just forgotten to savour the little things in life that could give us genuine happiness.I think the concept lies in finding something new in everything that we do. The monotony of our life in itself can become monotonous if we don’t do something about it.
I think, the idea lies not in finding exciting things to do everyday, but in seeing something new in the mundane things that we do. Personally I can never get tired of watching the sea because the pattern of waves is never the same. Each day is a revelation in itself, which holds something new that we can look forward to. As each day dawns we have the same sky that rises above us, the same sand beneath our feet, yet they are never the same as they were the day before. When we look at the sky above us, the pattern of clouds keep changing before our eyes. Yet how many of us care to notice it? I believe the secret lies in thoroughly enjoying the little things that we do. But again, how many of us do care???

About us.......
That's us.....vinitha and romila.A mad twosome.
For two years thrown into each other's company, we have scrounged every gali and nukkad of madras managaram in search of news stories. Not to forget tea-shops for that life saving brew...lime tea!!
Lovely, sleepy days at the University of Madras were primarily spent at the MSS tea stall, watching movies, haunting places around like triplicane, reporting a little and generally thinking that we wrote extremely well.....well, actually we still do believe the last bit, except that there is no time for the rest.
So, a place where we can rant our thoughts and let them flow recklessly.....muddle in unconcerned issues, rip apart movies, bemoan over the country's affairs, ponder philosophy, make small talk and generally engage in abstract conversations....trespass at your own risk!!
