I am Jayaram from Adayar ! !






     It is completely a dark Street; I am one among the students rushing out of the building after the coaching classes got over in that street. Cloudy sky and cool breeze at this late evening made all the drivers on the road to drive fast.


With lot of confusion and hesitation, I am following her….a thought constantly flicking in my mind is that I should talk to her once. Drizzling and cool breeze made me shivering, but the darkness on the street giving me some confidence. I have moved closer and matched my footsteps with her. It’s the time to execute my plan but sentences which I conceived in my mind are not coming up….My mind cheating me.

 Within few steps we reached an intersection in the road, No traffic signal, all have to wait till traffic clears to cross. All of the sudden I catch up my words and speak to her….at the moment she stepped into the road to cross. Her eyes turned toward me without noticing a car standing on the left corner suddenly comes into the road for U turn, I pulled her yellow chudi back, a sudden break and scream of a lady from the nearby flower shop made her shivering in a moment. People in the near by tea shop started shouting (free advice to cross road) at her. She slowly moved to my left side and joined with me very closely to cross the road.  

After reaching other side of the road, I forget what I spoke to her. I could see the raindrops and sweat assorted over her face glittering in the front light of Punjabi dhaba. She has given an innocent smile at me…Yippee…. J. I introduced myself with a smileJ. She is about to speak…my ears sharpened to get her name…a sudden flash over the entire screen…my roommate returned back from  his hometown after weekend holidays switched on the room light. Its Monday morning 5.10 A.M.

Looking at some pretty fellow passengers,air hostess and cute children playing around, i waited to collect my heavy weighted two suitcases from the conveyor be...

Christmas Guest

24 th December 2015 It was 8’0 clock in the evening, Christmas Eve prayer just got over in an Evanglische church located in the outskirts of a small town deep inside of black forest in Germany. Church volunteers were wrapping up the things after the event.   As one of the residents in the church building, I was also invited for the Christmas Eve function; I stayed in a room on the second floor of the same church building which was rented out by church management.  There were totally seven rooms, all were occupied by students from nearby towns and villages who studies in the local college. Black forest is one of the most beautiful regions in the country, not densely populated; sharing borders of Switzerland on one side and France on the other side. I enjoyed my summer time touring around every single holiday, but then came winter, it was heavy, almost snowing every day, weekends were terrible for me, there wasn’t no-much friends for me there and more ov...

I'm a Finisher

                   In the year 490 B.C, there was a war between Greece and Persian kingdoms. Greece dint have enough potential but their solders outshine Persian tactics and won the battle of Marathon. This news had to be carried to capital Athens along with a warning message that Persian army might attack the city through sea; So Army general had chosen pheidippides (a messenger/runner) to send the message to Athens. He had run all the way from Marathon Battle Ground to Athens around 26 miles. After delivering the message of “Joy to You”, Pheidippides died shortly thereafter from exhaustion. He had died not because of just 26 miles run.. He was sent to contact Sparta army 140 miles away from the battle ground to seek help.280 miles of running (66 Hours) on rugged mountainous path followed by a day of battle and again 26 miles of running (3 Hours) to Athens on the same day wasn’t an easy challenge. He pushed himself past normal limi...
