Barappapaa… was how the weekend began, with an evening of bonding, meeting new people and dancing to the wee hours of the morning before heading
Three years ago on this day, I woke up to listen to my father take his last deep breath. At 7am his spirits passed on from this life to enter the next. It troubled me how his disease had taken the best out of him so quickly. I remembered seeing exactly how he felt when the doctor said he had

Recently I have been struggling to do an assignment, I allocated the time but I could never get it done. Every evening I rushed home to work on it, but I could never concentrate for more than 10-15 mins before I started checking my twitter, linkedin, facebook, blog.
