Though I am sceptical you'd feel the same if you read my blog fully :) I understand your point though I think we may still know enough about something to decide if we like it or not... at least idhu pudichirukanu theriyum nu dhaan thonudhu... techcrunch arambichavan munnadiye plan panni full time blogging la irnagirpaan nu thonalai... I think certain things just take a course of its own... sorry for this over serious comment :) Hi suchithra

And you write well man... I could relate to so many of your posts (the IRCTC one, for eg) And nice down-to-earth language... (enna maadhiri tamil-pudichum-english-pesara-ponnungalukellam padikka nalla irukku :D) And i agree with your point about the software guys. They are into it without knowing what they want. Problem with life is that except people like Federer, most of us can't tell how much we really want something without trying it full time. Call it the inability of the average human mind! In any case, sujatha ellam big time talented person. Nammalala appadi irukkamudiyumannu theriyadhu. Though, good example for an inspiration :) Anyway, keep up your blog... Nice to read! :) Hi, I got to your blog while googling for thiruvasagam meaning.

Hyde and Jekyll syndrome. Very rarely we are able to appease both these characters in us. Most of the time we pretend to be jekyll, happy and moving along with the things in life that gives us the chewing gum to chew, But what we really want to do is entirely different ;-) Deep down we are dual.
