Belief in Love

People haven't stopped believing in love. They haven't stopped wanting to be in love. They just don't believe in a happy ending anymore. They still believe in love and falling in love, but they know now that...they know that romances almost never end as well as they begin"

--An excerpt from Gregory David Robert's "Shantaram"

Things you don't want to hear your surgeon say...

What a trip home!!!

What a trip home!!! I just had an agenda of visiting my grandmother, watch "Katha Parayumbol" and spend time with my best friend.

It had been 2 years since I've been to Aluva UC College for a recruitment. It was an ordeal back then...with loooong waits and poor organising.
