The VOYAGE

Another year fades Relations slip away, Every day turns To be a ruthless game. Starts all day, With lot of hope, But the lights went out With a solitary jolt. No trails left Of the one I loved, Still my heart Skips a beat. Crave to drive, Through the misty woods. But I burn the rubber In the City roads. Paying the debts, Clearing the bills. Is this the purpose Of this gifted life? I ain't Stingy, I am frugal. I ain't swagger, I am Modest. Lot of hurdles Still to clear. But no one near And nothing to fear. A time to act, A time to accept. And I believe Thy will be done. -Sunil

                                            Was it the writer's block or the hectic life ,something was hampering me from writing all these days. Not much fun in life, but lot of good things are happening around.                                               Atlast I got one good reason to write, my mother's birthday...I Wrote to her along with birthday cards (the only gift I could afford for at the moment).I was pretty happy after writing the same and I am sure she would be glad to receive those...                                                  I thought to keep a copy of this letter in 'THE VOYAGE' so that I can have a look at this letter anytime I wish to.                                                  If you are miles away from your dear ones ,then I think the best way to cherish the moments with them would be to write a letter. In the turbulence of Technological revolution we seldom write. I am Trying to write atleast once in a month to my dear one'

   Three Years back...  The train whistles and slowly moves out of the station...the rush & hush in the platform is slowly vanishing… I was lucky to get the window seat to enjoy this beautiful early morning sky. The cool early morning breeze was touching my strands of hair. It was so soothing to see the vibrant colored sky and the rising sun through the morning mist. The train moved through the lush green paddy fields and I always cherish to see such a view where the mist floats above this green life...  Train is gaining pace and people are busy either  glancing the newspapers or with their mobile phones. Few enjoying music and many chatting with a morning coffee. Old man who sits beside me has already started sleeping, he looks tired and I noticed the heavy luggage he carried. Poor man, I whispered… Slowly my eyes started searching for some known faces but as usual in vain. Its quite boring sometimes if you are alone travelling and to add to your woes you don’t have a

AB Workout for Women: For all women who wish to reduce their abdomen flab and get a toned abs, check out this link in YOUtube.This is really good for the beginners. I even suggested to one of my friend whom I think is still doing these exercises. Make sure you do it in the right posture and I am sure you all be able to shape your abs and core. AB Workout - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Od8hBGoV-cg Side Planks - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4DjimUbvGc PLANKS: This is one of the best exercise which everyone can do,it helps you to tighten your core muscles and your abs. Points to note: Back should not be lifted in air and no sagging of the butt. The whole body should be in a straight line. Reps: 3-5 reps lasting for 1 min (maximum time you can stand in that posture) I personally feel that this is one of the easiest way in which you can strengthen your core muscles. Try it folks....

Push-ups @home I would like to share one of the You tube links which I feel we should include in our daily exercise, it's really good and helps you gain a muscular body.

Alarm didn't buzzed, my buddy didn't made the wake up call for the usual workout, sun rays cut through the window shield was directly falling on my bare chest … Sun rays that hit through window pan scattering through the particles in the air is what I saw when I opened my eyes.The room was filled with sun light and the clock ticks to 9, no one to wake me up or to give me a bed coffee .Roommate is sleeping after his night shift in a lumpy bed near me and it seems he is not getting a sound sleep.                                    I rushed  to GYM and lucky to be there before the doors closed. The time passed very quickly ...After my usual Rice & daal combo lunch, I searched the whole wardrobe and couldn't find a single good shirt to wear. Tried several shirts and nothing seemed to be good. As always I chose that 'Black Kurtha' which I liked the most, which was taken from my brother for an exchange- which I never returned to him… My mom used to tell  "

Bangalore Days Turning around & cuddled up inside the blanket…the sounds of rain, the speeding train & the snuffling sounds from all over the place…Couldn't sleep at all and I got up, came near to the door…         Everyone is sleeping and I saw the doors are closed because of the rains, came back to my place and slept … At least 3 more hours I have to adjust with this snuffling sounds before it reach Bangalore…The train is slowing down and it’s nearing Bangalore Station. Everyone is queuing up to get down with their luggage. It’s my first time to Bangalore in train and its been 10 years since I visited this beautiful city.          Drizzling outside to my surprise and I somehow managed to get out from the crowded streets & started searching for a hotel. Every hotel hanged placards with “No room available” in the front. I saw the same response from all the hotels in that street and I was going in circles with no luck.  I was amazed with way Bangalore welcomed

                                Jumped from the bed hearing the buzz,it's 6 in the morning. The change in the job timings have forced me to go for the workout in the morning. I have missed so many days and desperately wanted an intensive workout . Thinking all this,rubbed my eyes and came out to the balcony...I Couldn't believe what I saw, it was raining. I pinched myself and it was not a dream. It was thunder showers in Chennai. I waked up my room mates and showed them the rains, it didn't amazed them much and they all shouted for disturbing their sleep but still for most of the Chennaites it is a rejuvenating scene.I sat by the balcony ,enjoyed the rains with a black coffee."A Desperate sadness enveloped Ruth" whenever I missed the fitness class.                                 I thought to share with you  'Fitness Mantra' ,articles which I would be writing. This will share few of my views and thoughts on our daily lives, fitness regime ,diets and so o

  Preface Life is a VOYAGE , the longest journey. I kept this name for my Blog since this is all about me and my voyage-my life. I believe there are lot of things which I could express about myself and also about the happenings ,be it vibrant or bizarre. You will find the best of my efforts here in this blog to express my views,thoughts and experiences. I wish to talk about me before I start 'THE VOYAGE' . About Me                                                                  April 14, celebrated my 24th birthday in my room at Chennai.When I look back I feel proud that I am running my family and there are quite a lot of reasons to continue this beautiful life.  I realize that everyday -interesting or not has taught me something in my life. Every one's life is like that but we seldom realize at that moment. If it was the other way round, we would never say that our day was bad & would have always made it the most interesting one.  This thought gave me a
