All is well that ends well
Wonder years - Chapter 14It was the last week of June 08. It was a pleasant evening with gentle breeze caressing the hearts and minds of nearly everyone.       Oblivious to all these, Mano was waiting anxiously in a restaurant. He had been waiting for more than fifteen minutes. Would she come or would she not? He did not even know her mobile number... more...

Some good news at last
I am so happy and relieved these days. Thanks a lot for all the support the ilanders provided. My special thanks to Meena Sundar, Sudha, Star trekker, Earthy, Yellow flower and Smitha who had been a pillar of support to me in my troubled times.  Now the clouds had disappeared from my heart. Will be in touch soon. more...

Wonder years - Chapter 13
Nancy got a job change and moved to Chennai during March 06. This should have strengthened the bro-sis bond. But sadly the brother and sister started fighting over every possible issue and the gulf was constantly widening between the brother and sister. Mano was convinced that his sister was not as responsive as she used to be. He also felt that Na... more...

When I came to know about the secret regarding my adopted sister's birth in Jan 08, I was under the impression that I had finally found out the real reason for the misunderstanding. Though I felt initially bad for the suffering my sister must have undergone, I was confident that she would regain her original self and return to my life one day. But,... more...

Chapter 7 – LoveIntense love is something not restricted to romantic relationships alone. The feeling of flying high or feeling weightless can happen in any loving relationship.

‘Eating the Earth’!
 Eating meat, dairy and eggs threatens our planet.You use much less land and water if you eat crops directly. Animals use most of the protein they eat to live, not 'grow' meat.
