# 10 Cup

The family that eats, sleeps & prays together; stays together. 

An old saying probably it is from ancient christian times. The quote sends a very strong emotional message. Well it says, despite the differences in every individual, a consistently followed routine can build a strong team, a family or a community. It is like everyone is ready to leave out their differences and come forward together for a common cause, a vision or a goal.

The saying can do justice to any group of people who doesn't share the same DNA. The statement states, a routine followed by all the players in the team for a was structured or it should have happened the other way around. Anyway, it is good to practice.
common ground on why it is being followed. For the practice of peace and harmony in the family, during old times, people gather and sit for a meal. Maybe this is how the proverb

And this quote, kept humming in my mind during my trip to “Neverland”. Just like the Peter Pan, I was excited and terrified same time. It was so funny when I felt butterflies like a kid to meet new faces. Brings back my school memories, stepping into a new classroom. The greetings became “Quick Quiz” in matching the voices with the faces. In a matter of minutes, I found this gang is entirely different to my imagination about them; except for the kindness they showed.

Just like the ironic facts, the quiet ones in the calls were the loudest in person. The talkative voices remained invisible in entire trip. Nevertheless, their shared unity is notable. I barely spoke to everybody other than common phrases like, “Could you pass the water bottle?” “When is the breakfast, lunch or dinner?” (I like to eat you see). They were quite a group already, but being an entirely different wavelength person, I did not feel like an alien in the gang. This sends a message, “Being ordinary is the new classic” A team of very ordinary people creating things that are brilliant. Man! How cool it is to just even think about it? 


They proved to be the most humble geeks I have ever met (Well only in earth, because Martians are more clever). Putting arms around each other for protecting, supporting and even for pulling legs seems the fun part. The thought of making a colleague’s birthday as an office party is the sweetest thing and the whole gang is coping up in keeping it as a surprise to him is impressive. And like the bugs we create, there were downsides like when we walked all the way in a wrong direction for a while, played the “Mafia” game with limited fun and the religious strike we experienced; all remained yet adventurous and definitely goes to my memory book.


Oh, yes, there is a strong girl power in the gang and constantly putting the boys down. Yet, kudos to you guys, you are all awesome withstanding and giving it back without mercy (so much fun with this playful rivalries)

From my personal perception (no offense), the MNC office trips I have taken in my career truly sucks. And I believed an office trip will never be fun packed. Well, I have to change my opinion now. This trip remained as a best part of my travel diaries and I am grateful that it happened at the most needed time of my life. I discovered myself, the lost bird was able to identify its wings and ready to step on to the road.
A trip not to be forgotten

#07 - Cup We had a electrical maintenance in our colony,  unfortunately it was between evening 3 to 6 , or should I say fortunate because it happened during Sunday and almost everyone was out and having tea together. It was like back to my school days times, we used to play in streets with the neighbourhood kids and our mothers would be sitting on the verandas , gossiping something. It was almost nearly same scenario. I was sitting near the staircase, coffee mug in one hand, mobile at the other, reading texts also screening the people simultaneously. I did not see my lawyer friend, has he started again to lock himself in the room again my mind was running with so much questions. Suddenly, a ball rolled down from the terrace to me, and the next door kid came down behind it. He asked me  "Akka give me the ball". I replied him  "Only if you join me in your game"  He became confused and said "Only captain can decide that"  and he pointed his hands towa...

#09 Cup

Possessive.  I chose this word, also gave a good amount of time on my decision. The person behind this word will remain a mystery. Although, one can guess it from my article, if you have a keen eye for detail.  Were you possessive at any point in your life? I was, but not if it could kill somebody. I think everybody opened that door at least once and gave an excuse to our behaviour, justified the action with the word love. Love has nothing to do with possessiveness or vice versa. They define it in Oxford, as, demanding someone’s total attention or love, while Wikipedia gives a specific meaning to withhold my perception, i.e., strict ownership. Strict Ownership, the term points to a person’s dominant behaviour. Possessiveness is the word chosen by this dominant predators to wear as blanket since it says, “in too much of love”. I agree, because too much of anything could kill you, and so does possessiveness kills the “love”. It all starts with good intention...

#06 - Cup Many of us ask the question " Why me?" . Smiling guys? Well I have asked like thousand times to myself "Why me?" but never got answer to that question. Let us see what happened when someone asked me the same question. I happened to meet my school friend in a marriage function. She is the Miss fame during the high school days. I have never spoke a word to her, and I am one of the humiliating species in her list, but to the surprise she smiled at me and she was with me the whole time in the function. When we were leaving, she asked me "Can we hang out for few hours?" We went to a park, she sat down and asked me "How are you? How is your life?" I replied her "It is good" . I just looked her back with a question on  my face. She understood my reaction " Yeah , I have humiliated , insulted even have tore you down in school but right now I feel like only you can possibly the one to comfort me" . She continued ...
