CBC- SIX WORD MEMOIR


I cordially invite my first time blog visitors with a firm handshake and hello. Thanks to CBC's 6 word memoir for bringing you here and I take this opportunity to thank profusely,my college buddy VJ Eshwar for roping me in .I find CBC as the most diverse ecosystem of bloggers with students,media people,Social activists,entrepreneurs etc. hi5 to all those more than 2nd time visitors.Though am yet to take part in any of the CBC meets, I have made a few real good friends.

Am happy to receive the baton from one such good friend that I have made through CBC- Lakshmi, a product of PSBB as I always remember her.She always amazes me with her diction and choice of words and she is one of the most spirited Cricket enthusiast I have ever come across.Thank you Lakshmi for doing the honors. Keep writing!


My 6 word memoir:

6 has always been my favorite and lucky number for more reasons than one.So I was ready with my memoir even before the chart was prepared. Immaterial of success or failure, this is how I want myself to be remembered as



Kept



Always

Reaching

Towards

His

Instincts

Though am not an avid blogger, I believe reading is a common thread that binds us together and I feel privileged to eke a living out of it.

Hi Purnima. I found your post on Tv Series really useful. Looking forward to know more. Over to you.

The Kaleidoscope

“Can you help me with this coconut for the chutney? Meanwhile I will prepare the dosas.” I checked my watch to see it was already 8.30 and it had started to drizzle outside.  I didn’t say anything though; I took one half of it and carefully examined the inners. What is that you are looking at? Aren’t you getting late...Mom grumped as she handed  over the scrapper to me. “Nothing mom, It has sprouted, do I have to throw this out or keep it?” Mom didn’t reply. I kept looking at her from behind waiting for a word or a gesture to  start the proceedings. After roasting one dosa, she said without turning back “ Just keep it, its no harm.

It was 8.50 when I went tout to check if it was raining. It was still drizzling.  But still I could see sun comin...

The Unusual Suspect- part 11

Glad to take over the story from an Infyblogger, Aishwarya  in continuation of her  Chapter 10- Beginning of the end- The Voice &The Question. Priya Dewan, one of the most promising names in the international record companies circuit was killed mysteriously, when she was holidaying in Norway.

She went as an intern to The UK and joined Warp Records. She played a major role in revolutionizing the music industry and taking Warp records to greater heights and they branched out in the U.S because of her. All the way through Priya noticed that the million dollar industry was dominated by Europe and Asia didn't have a proper footing. She found her calling, relocated to Singapore and played a pivotal role in educating record com...
