  It was very difficult for me to climb the first hill with my full stomach. I have never sat to take rest when I climbed the first hill back in 2019 but, this time around, I last count on how many times I had sat down to take a bit of rest. I even felt a sudden urge to quit this and go down. But my friends waited with me till I reached the first hill. And believe me, after reaching the first hill, my stomach didn’t upset me anymore. Instead, all the proteins I ate just gave me my stamina. This time It took me one hour to complete the first hill (may be more; I forgot) but, its certainly much slower than my last time. You know what! I am not going to compare my 2-years-back-self to my current-self. It’s just so frustrating. 2 Years Ago It was not till the end of 3 rd hill; I start to feel my legs shaking. Till the third hill, there would be steps arranged in a neat manner so that we can climb easily. But after that, the steps would be would start becoming irregular heaps o...

  Vellingiri Vettai The world still is suffering from the COVID virus. So, my decision to trek a hill may be bad decision. I convinced myself that the people who trek Vellingiri hills would be full of Stamina and immunity against the CORONA VIRUS. I agree it’s a half ass-ed excuse for trekking at a dangerous period in human history. Well, if the virus spread is that large amount, then the government would be never allowed anyone to do the trekking. So, thinking it’s safe, me and my friends have planned to go for the trekking. Even before the advent of this COVID virus, when I was in Bangalore (that had become a dream now), me boys were talking about trekking the Vellingiri hills. This is my second time trekking the Vellingiri hills. The first time I trekked was before 2 years on March of 2019. After I done with my trekking the first time, I promised myself that I would never ever in my life would trek Vellingiri again. It took me two years to break my promise. What i...

  Greatest of the escapisms and beyond This March I have watched a lot of great movies. Of course, those movies I watched were after the disaster – Nenjam Marapathillai. It was the second Friday of March. I had just finished reading the கருவாச்சி காவியம் and I didn’t like it as I thought I would. I thought of holding a bit before starting to read a new book right away. So, on that Friday, I planned to watch a movie. I had a Malayalam movie called Munnariyippu in the watchlist of my Letterbox account.  I haven’t downloaded that movie, but I didn’t want to watch any other movie at that time. I had read a lot of good reviews about that movie and it started growing inside me. So, I was searching for any OTT platform that would offer me to watch this movie and I found this movie in Jio Cinemas App. The only use of my Jio Sim (which is my secondary Sim; my primary Sim is Airtel) is that I can use Jio Apps. In my area, I don’t get network coverage (or signal) for Jio Si...
