Thank u MishMAsh
Strange thing happens in our life at the least expected time. Search for a fish recipe led me to a beautiful recipe page prefaced with a tribute to authors grandma, As I started reading the tribute I could feel lot of emotions stirring inside my mind. My eyes welled up with tears and through that fog I saw my own grandma smiling at me. Calling my name in a way only she should could do. Even today, when I go back to my home in kerala, when i walk into the living room, my eyes search for the place where she used to sit. She used to welcome me with her teeth less smile every time i walked in . She will make me sit near her, touch my hand and will complain as usally that i have become thin. I was far far away when she died. I could never make it to her funeral. when my dad called and told me about her death, initially i never felt anything. My mind couldnt accept that fact that she could die. And I refused to believe it. But next time when i went back home on vacation, when i walked into my empty living room, that when the truth hit me. And it hit me hard...... In this journey we will lose everything at the end, our most dear ones, most valuable ones, most precious ones. We have them to lose it eventually . So while we have it let us adore , admire, appreciate, , love and share it.

Paranoid London
When i was in London I saw a city that is paranoid. Paranoid about anything and everything. Daily Police ads in news paper ad goes like this ' if your neighbor is awake at unusual time we want to know ;D' , and every squire inch is covered with CC cameras. You live in a city where virtually there is no privacy. Every step u walk , every turn you take, you are filmed. Your privacy is transmitted to some unknown servers and stored . If you walk little fast police look at you suspiciously, if you walk slow they ask you to move on. Trust me its weird to see an entire country gripped with paranoia. And trust me there should be a solution. When we have paranoia we consult a doc, So when a country or a city have paranoia of terrorist strike what should they do? Is installing more CC Camera a solution. Why shall an entire country live in fear. These are very interesting questions to be answered. But if this problem is not solved, i can imagine them installing CC cams and bugs in your hotel rooms and listen to you while you fart in your toilet.
