I Blabber & i Jabber

Good... Our mind voice is not audible to others…is it really good?

At times, to appreciate the beauty of today, we require not-so good yesterday!!!

Danger of being programaholic , Even exclamation mark (!) appears to be a –ve condition!!!

It is good to have a person called “The God”. After all he is the only person who never reacts when I blame him.

Too Old and Too Good Dresses have one problem in common; People know when we use it too often ;)

In Democratic Environment, often Top-Down Communication is Autocratic & Bottom-Up Communication is suppressed

Slow and steady might help in completing the race…..but winning??? No idea….

I remember U whenever I see anyone; the worrying part is I have no idea who comes to your mind when you see me.

When I talk to you, I realize how much insufficient my vocabulary is. (நான் உன்னுடன் பேசும் பொழுதுதான் என் சொற்களஞ்சியத்தின் பற்றாக்குறையை உணர்கிறேன்)

You are so unique; I don’t have words to explain and so spending sleepless nights in search of words

My laughs might have hurt you unintentionally, but trust me, I do intentionally hide my tears/angers to avoid hurting you.
