Radio... Thanks Marconi!!

Till sometime back, I have never really understood the significance of radio. While in my own land, I always had different sources - be it office/television/casual chats/etc that used to update me all kind of happenings in the world. It was just only when travelling in cabs I used to listen to radio, and at those times felt irritated that I couldn't listen to my own playlist of songs and had to listen to some random talks & songs.

But after coming to US, my usual day doesn't pass without tuning to some radio channels for hours. It all started with my curiosity to get accustomed to the accent of the people here & to listen to some Englist beats. Now it has become a routine :) Morning news for a couple of hours - both local & country news ( US ;) ), English songs till early evening and lot of flavors of Tamil songs the rest of the daylight hours.. Wow!! I am really enjoying the company of the radio stations, while I am alone at home.

In general, I tend to play some songs whenever I need to concentrate on some important works. These radio stations provide a random juggle of songs & help me be focused - be it cooking or reading books or surfing the net. And most of all, it also helps to break the silence at home & constantly make  me feel more and more at home :D

This is one of the best things that I have picked up recently.. Thanks Marconi!!

A Break!!

Here comes the break,

that desperate race that was on 

since the very beginning,

taking a temporary halt

A break, to be well utilized,

to invigorate me,

to unleash my unexplored strengths,

to patch all my weaknesses,

a chance to explore myself, better,

to express myself in other avenues

A break, which threatens me

for I should be more vigilant than before,

tread my steps with clear idea than before, 

for any mistake, I pay heavy ransom,

I wont be broken, but muster up again

A break, to shower all my love (without distraction),

love for my love, 

love for my parents & in-laws,

love for my little companions,

love for my friends,

love for all my acquaintances,

the maximum love that I can expend from my inner self,

radiating it for everything and everyone around

A break, expected to end well,

rolling out the best path I could ask for,

filled with challenges and inspirations,

quenching my long dwelling quest for satisfaction

for, it isn't success which I am after,

but the inner-fulfillment of my own self! 

Nevertheless, 

A break, to be celebrated,

to strengthen bonds with my own people,

to giggle around every corner in my own land, 

to cherish the blessings bestowed so far,

to invite more pleasure in the days to come,

to express my gratitude to the Almighty

And here starts the break,

with all the hope that it ends well :)
