Ya, incase you were wondering, the pic in the profile is me :) It looks different 'cause I used a software called Aftercam. Sharing below thoughts of mine of some aspects of life which makes it interesting - Family - Aah, my family! My cocoon of love! My tree consists of my parents, elder sis & grandparents (paternal side). Father is silent & stoic, with a temper to boot. Mum is deeply spiritual & loves watching classical dances (although she has not yet learned it). Sis is fun-loving, likes music and is a trained classical dancer. Grandpa is over 90, with his young & sharp memory intact. Grandma is the main chef at home, religiously serving the needs of our stomach day & night. A typical Malayalee grandmother. Friends - 1 deep friendship is better than 1000 superficial ones. I'm lucky to have some 'deepy' friends. Religion/Spirituality - I am a Hindu by name, mutter Oh Jesus the most, not much attached to religious rituals and agree with the spiritual notion that we must go beyond idol worship and embrace the borderless & imageless Divinity which is as much within us as as it is anywhere else we imagine it to be. Pets - I love cats & dogs, from a distance :) We used to have a pet dog Tommy, a parrot, some rabbits. Although I do not recall the incident (I was very young at the time), mother says she closed the door off all pets ever since she found me sharing food with Tommy in the same plate... Music - I respect it. I believe in it's power to soothe our senses and revive our souls. Dance - It's therapeutic too. I'm a trained classical dancer. Classical dances helps improve acting (usage of facial expressions are lot) and develops stamina. Some meditate to seek God, others dance to seek Him. Cinema - The 70mm screen never fail to thrill me. I love to watch performances and rate them. Cinematic bliss is such a high. Dreams - Fantasy land. Who writes the scripts of our dreams? Is it God? The best aspect of sleeping ! :) Life beyond Earth- I recall an article in which I read the famous Indian dancer Shamak Davar sharing his beliefs on aliens. He says that aliens hesitate to contact humans directly because of our violent, unpredictable nature. I'm not sure if they are a friendly race because. Books & movies. Today, I do not travel much beyond these two worlds.
