Aftermath of a trip is worse than a hangover

The Wrap Up

The Ooty trip had taught me too things!

One – To spend minimally.

Two – To plan stealthily.

I brought a Jumbo Loan immediately after my Ooty Trip. After my discussion with my mom, it was inevitable for me to take a loan. The loan helped me to pay my credit card, my brother’s last year college fees and we had bought a water purifier too. 

Surprisingly, I decided to take a 10 Year Asset Insurance plan and started saving 60k each year.

I started saving for my Kanyakumari trip too. So, I have created an RD account for 6 month (I am going to break it out in 3 months... DUH!!) and started saving 3000 a month.

Though it had its disappointments, the Ooty also had its fair share of enjoyments. It was a great beginning for the year 2021. 

I had never imagined that I would watch two Selvaraghavan’s films on a new year (that too back-to-back). It had happened this year. Even completing a one-day Ooty trip was also an achievement of some sorts, excluding its discontents.

 


I hate brooding and I love brooding too. I mean… WTF?!?!

Ooty trip drained my enthusiasm for another trip and Procrastination crept inside me for the next 2 weeks.

After the trip, I subscribed for the 2021 Reading Challenge in Goodreads. I have challenged myself to read 52 books in 2021. And suddenly, I started feeling low. It happens time to time. There’s no reason for this and yet it happens. 


For the next 2 weeks, I didn’t watch any movie, didn’t read any books or anything. But I did one thing. I read one volume of Detective Conan daily for the next 14 days.

There are nearly 100 volumes in Detective Conan. It’s an ongoing series too. 

Initially I planned to read 100 Volumes in 100 days. Then it got changed to 20 Volumes per month. 

Then 10 volumes per month. Now I hope to catch up to the manga by the end of this year. 

Hopefully, I would be writing a post series solely dedicated to Detective Conan on the second half of this year.

Before Pongal, I had read about 21 Volumes of Detective Conan. 

Then it happened again. I started feeling low again.

I went to watch Master movie with my friends during the Pongal holidays and by the end of it, and before returning to my home, me, and my dear friend NSK had shopped some Tamil books in Pollachi. I was planning on visiting Edhir Veliyeedu in Pollachi from October (from our Reunion) but I didn’t get any chance to go there. But I suddenly decided to visit there.

Later I changed my mind but NSK insisted me to go there. Then we went there and bought Vairamuthu books for my TBR. NSK bought a book on Cinema.

It’s been a while since I visited places having books (like library, book shop or book fair). And visiting Tamil Book shop is a rarity for me. It’s been years (like 5+ years). The shop was a small shop but the smell and the ambience it had was awesome. I was a member of my village library in my school days. The visit to that book shop brought back those memories of mine. I dragged myself out after realising the time.

Master movie was a disaster but visiting Edhir Veliyeedu made my day (or I would say Made my Pongal 2021 holidays)

25TH POST!!!! Beyond the Clouds (EOI #7)

Beyond the Clouds I couldn’t able to sleep that night. I ended up dozing off at around 3 AM. It was my mallu friend who woke me up. I don’t know why (actually, the question to be asked is IDK how), I developed a habit of not waking up to my alarm. I have tried changing all the tunes, but the sound of my phone’s alarm never reaches my ear. I woke up, I didn’t change anything. I have planned for this day in a perfect manner. All I did was - had a warm bath, drank a hot strong coffee with a samosa for breakfast. Packed my bags, left my keys in the PG and for one last time, with a heavy-hearted sigh, I left my PG for good. The Cab was waiting for me and within an hour, I reached the airport. I have never been to an airport before, but Bangalore airport was a massive one. I had no clue what to do there. The first thing I did was, I took my printed copy of boarding pass. After a long queue for checking the body temperature and my AADHAR card, I entered inside the airport.   ...

Ranking of Harry Potter Books

  The End This book is my second least favourite book of Harry Potter series (I’ll explain why Deathly Hallows didn’t become my worst HP book while I give the ranking of HP books). I expected Harry’s character to mature a bit after he fucked up because of his recklessness in the last book. But guess what, he was the same and it costed Albus Dumbledore’s life. Okay! That’s a cruel thing to say. But when I read the book, I wanted Dumbledore to live. (It all changed when I read the next book!) And he deserved more respect from Harry. I knew Dumbledore never trusted anyone and all that shit. But Harry should’ve trusted Dumbledore (even though Dumbledore blamed himself in this book. This is mutual respect motherfucker!) And the climax was another tragedy and this time, I didn’t like the tragedy. Mainly because how the final book was set up in the climax of the sixth book. I didn’t want the trio to wander away to find some weird deathly hallows. I wanted them to stay in Hogwart...

Dravidian Otaku's First Year Anniversary

  It’s been a year since I started writing my blog! February 1, 2020 I had completed reading the first book of Twilight book series. I had my Netflix subscription back then and watched a lot of movies and series in the month of January 2020. Since it’s the beginning of a new year, I wanted to record all the movies and series I would be watching. So, I created an excel sheet to record it. Then suddenly, I lost interest in recording it. This happens always to me. I would never stick to something for a long time ever before. But then I started reading Twilight and it did something to me. Watching a 2 hours movie is one thing but, reading a book for a week is another thing. It would transport you to a world you’d never experienced before. This may feel like exaggerating but, trust me, you have to feel it to know it. I wanted to say something about it. So, I created to a blog to review the movies or series I have watched and books that I would read. Initially I had help from B...
