The little birds

     It was a few weeks ago. A Sunday afternoon. I was sitting laid back, watching TV. Netflix and chill as they would say. Suddenly there's a lot of bird noise outside. There is an empty field outside my room where a lot of birds have found their home in trees.  Its rare for birds to make noises in the afternoon. So i was curious. But i was so immersed in watching 'Dark' - a scifi show. Suddenly something passed through the room, right through the ventilator. Something white just went to the hall. I was curious. I went to the hall and looked. It was a little white Owl. Some crows where chasing it. Poor thing was so scared. It went to the other room and stayed there. I didn't want to scare it off. So i left it alone.      There is a pack of crows making sound outside. A bunch of little birds are making chirping sounds. This is not the usual greetings. It was different, i could sense there was something wrong in their voices. As a Harry Potter fan, i liked owls a lot. Al

The unsung heroes

I always wanted to write about this part of my life. As a tribute to my dearest teachers. When i was a child i was a very lean little child. I was not really good at anything. Not that good at studies, sports, arts or anything. I had a very difficult to pronounce name. I got bullied a lot. I had very little confidence. When i was a little i heard stories like Mathematics is the queen of all sciences, smart people know math and all. I really liked math. It was sort of an escapism for me. I used to think even though i am bad at everything, but at least if i am good at math, i must be smart. It was like my little fortress of hope.  After 4th standard i joined an aided school in English medium. I knew little to no English and then came that dark day in my life. Our Math teacher gave us some problems to solve. When the results came, me and a friend of mine had the lowest marks. I believe it was 2 out of 15. We were asked to stand up in class for the whole period.  I was so sad. Math

Tech companies misleading users

The Redmi note 6 pro has one of the best cameras in the 10k-15k price range. But still comparing its camera to phones like Pixel 3 is fake marketing. It is used to mislead people who don't have much awareness of technology. Companies needs to stay away from this.

The Book of Dreams

“Every few decades a book is published that changes the lives of its readers forever. The Alchemist is such a book. You must read it.” One of my High School Teachers told me these words. I had forgotten those words and the book. But after a glimpse through the PTC Mysore library i found the book. I decided to give it a try and the experience was amazing. Paulo Coelho’s “The Alchemist” tell us the story of an Andalusian shepherd boy who is trying to find a treasure. It is an allegorical novel. It tries to communicate valuable messages to the readers metaphorically by using characters.  Through the story of the shepherd who went all the way back to the Egyptian pyramids to find his treasure the book inspires us to follow our heart and realise our dreams. Santiago is an Andalusian shepherd boy. His parents wanted him to be a priest. But he decides to follow his heart and become a shepherd instead as he loves travelling. He had a recurrent dream of a treasure which he could fi

Memories of PTC Mysore

So What is PTC Mysore be like? That’s a question I always asked my seniors. The best experience in your career, almost all of them had that reply. Anyway after hearing all those with huge hopes. I packed my bags to Mysore. “ It is an unforgettable experience. I wish I could attend the training in your place” my colleague and dear friend Linesh had made that comment before the day I left.  What awaited me was a very pleasant climate. Got an Uber to PTC and the first shock was waiting for me there. In my room one was from Bihar, one from Karnataka and Other one from Andhra. Oh my god! How will I talk with these people. That was my first thought. Anyway at the first day itself we visited the Mysore palace to see the lighting festival and it was awesome. The faculties were very strict. We were placed in Section E whose main faculty was Nataraj Sir. From the second day onwards we had Physical training in the morning. For a guy like me who can stay up till 4 but can’t wake up at 5
