Family Man, I know it sucks but I enjoy being a father. This lockdown has been a mess but we were blessed with Baby girl after a 5 year gap, yep am very happy about it. We weren’t ready for Girl as all of us were expecting ‘Boy’ but I am very happy it's a girl. For my first daughter my wife was at her parents place till four months and when she came home she was ready to take care of her in my absence, but this time I was able to spend quality time with her since day one. Uff sleepless days and night reminds me of my college days, we were so worn out but still we took care of my daughter. But there were a few hitches as we went along.  First thing was using diapers, well she was small so even ‘NB’ diapers were no use. Then came the major issue of buying, keeping safe and using wet wipes. Yep, it's not easy to store, especially if we buy a large pack. Even some brands come with a small lid, but still it's not convenient as they become loose and the wet wipes become d...

Well Hello Friends, Yesterday night before I went to sleep, I got notification in Google photos which I took in 2016. I reeled back to time when I was working on the foothills of Kodaikanal as Architect in a retirement home. I still remember the day, actually the night before my birthday. I was in my Villa with my colleagues discussing random stuff and preparing to have dinner. The master Chef who was working there, Andrew came after his work and we decided to go out and eat rather than cooking dinner. By that time I got a call from my wife who wished me and reminded me to visit the temple nearby. And these guys came to know about it, and Andrew revealed that myself and his son were born on the same date.  By then we [they] started to plan on what to do that night. By the time they were planning Andrew was busy in the kitchen, and came back with this.       A beautiful Flower carved out of Guava. I was really excited to receive this, too bad I can't keep it...

My love for pen Everybody loves to write, well now everybody loves to tweet, share and type. But for me i love pen, it all started when i got promoted to 6th Standard. Because that's when I can wear full pant to school and most importantly promoted from pencil to pen. Yes we become a big guy. When I was at school, we bought a normal Ink pen, which we have to fill ink using ink filler, and we can use only blue ink. It was a pride moment for me when I went to shop with my mom and bought my first ink pen [fountain pen]. And during that time buying "Hero" Pen means you are from rich family, man I am still using them to write diary or when I learn new things and take note using it. Then there was another pen which very few heard about. "Parker" pen which was used by kids whose parents are from abroad. And it was dream for many. Even now I felt proud when I unpacked it [it's gift for my niece, for her birthday so I have to pack with] I felt wow, the body of t...

  Hello friends, I would like to pendown my experience as Architect in India. It is not very easy being an Architect in India, the first thing is we have teach our relatives and friends that we are an Architect not Architecture or civil engineer or drawing person and mostly not engineer.  After convincing your relatives about your nature of work, next thing they usually ask is "kanna we planning to build one house we want you to design it [literral meaning is will you do it for free]" At first they ask us to do, so that we gain experience, see actual field and ofcourse they are our favourite mama/mami. But then we become enemies if we dont bend down to thier rules. And most importantly designing as per their taste and choice. Once i was made to sit between 10 of our relatives each giving us different ideas, directions and opinion and the only thing that came to my mind was.  Even we design it well thanks to them the final product will be entirely different and we will be ...
