என்னது பொழுது போகலையா??? அடி ஆத்தாடி!!

PASSION?? When someone ask me what's my Passion, what's my Hobbies? I just smile. It's a big RANDOM list :) I need to look back :)

"My Mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style." - Maya Angelou

My Passion started before I realized the word 'Passion', 'Hobbies', Etc...

Passion with Drawing, Painting... Ha Ha… I definitely say, 'It's a God's Gift'. Thanks for the lovely gift :) I used to draw from my Childhood, I still can't able to recollect when I started sketching... When I'm looking back my Childhood sketches, I wonder how I sketched so perfect?? Wondering and happy myself :) Beautiful hobby :) I don't prefer Portrait sketches, I love playing with Colors than sketches. I used to read a lot about different types of paintings and understand the history of different painting types, different traditional paintings, world-class paintings, Etc... Different types of my Paintings are on the way!! Lot of Paintings are in half done, need to complete :)

Fitness freak, started Yoga recently and I can Challenge anyone to do different Asanas :) Loved loved loved it. I generally wake up early in the morning, usually I go for a Run, took a long break and was thinking how to start back? By the time, I got a best Yoga Master 'Sangeetha' who training me in Yoga Asanas. My morning and evening became the best times. Thank You Sangeetha!!

I'm a big fan of 'The Hindu' Paper and my Morning starts with a Cup of Coffee and with 'The Hindu' in my hand. Used to glance the paper from First Page till the end, but my Favorite page is always 'Sports'.

My Grandfather is a Sports Master in School and maybe that's the Gene, I'm more interested in Sports. I think we had the best of the best Childhood times; which these generation kids are missing. Lot of outside traditional games, lot of fun, lot of sweet good memories... Used to Play Cricket with my Sister, Brother, Grand Father, Father, Uncle and Cousins. I still remember the day, My Grand Father used to bowl for us. Initially, the Bat is made of 'தென்னைமட்டை', perfectly cut out like a bat, our Childhood Cricket ball is 'பனங்கொட்டை ' then later bought a Cricket bat, Cricket ball and Tennis ball. Used to watch Cricket without missing a single ball. A big fan of Cricket. During my Childhood days, Cricket game happen once in a while, not like these days which it happening 365 days. No T20's, only One day Matches and Test Matches and I still remember, I used to stand for the last overs and curious to see what’s going to happen, where those days gone????? Used to cut Cricket information from 'The Hindu' paper and paste it in a note and that's how my Passion with Cricket started. Almost tried every Sports and have Medals. Happy myself to know the rules of each Game :) Big Follower of Tennis, Football, Etc(almost every sports).. Lot of favorite players in every sports who inspire me with their Determination, Dedication, Hard-work and Gentleman behavior. Thank you my each and every Favorite Sports rock-stars :) You all inspired me for what I'm today as a Person. Love Swimming, Volleyball, Tennikoit, Cycling and Trekking. Gone for Day, Night, long trekking. Thanks to Bangalore Trekking Club :) It's been long time that I went for the one. Have to go for it soon.

Writing Tamil Poems "கவிதைகள்". When I started?? I think I started in Childhood. Still have a diary when I wrote few Poems during my Childhood. Later, I didn't note down the Poems and it comes instantly, I just say to my Friends and I later forget it. Then the time arrived to write down in Note, Yes!! My College 1st Year Chemistry hour is the most boring classes I ever had. It's the time when I started writing many Poems and put a separate note and mark it down all. Someone asked me, "Are any reasons required to think and write a Poem?" Of course yes!! If you have someone or something in your mind, the Poems come instantly but NOT always. Sometimes I just imagine a situation and wrote a Poem of it, later it took time for me to come out of it. May be it took few days to come out of it. It's been a year I wrote a one now...

I started writing Blog just to pen down my thoughts. Mostly will write instantly. I started blog in 2010 and the journey continuing. Thanks to My good friend Vijai, for helping me to find a very nice name for my Blog. Wanted to write in Tamil always, even I prefer to write in Tamil, so that I can express it in a more beautiful and better way, need to start back and recollect the words.

விவசாயம், இதை பற்றி சொல்ல ஆரமிச்சா சொல்லிகிட்டே இருக்கலாம். My core Passion. சொல்ல வார்த்தைகள் இல்லை, எனது கனவு!! Happiness is unlimited, when we do the whole process and when the seed comes out of soil and do the rest of the process for the fruitful growth. அது ஒரு அழகான வாழ்க்கைங்க!! சொன்னா புரியாது!!

When I worked with Accenture, there was a Competition "Hobby Showcase" happened and my friends just told, this Competition is FOR YOU. I was totally not bothered, but somehow my friends made me to Participate. It was a 'WoW' moment, "The Judges simply said, why you here for a Job when you have these many wonderful talents". Thanks to my Friends to made me to Participate and I received 1st Place in overall Accenture level.
