Dood. Do The Right Thing!

Arun Basil Lal · April 23rd, 2011 · Life Hacks

“Are you Happy?”. This is ‘the question’ that I ask myself when I am faced with a choice. And when the answer is No, I know something is wrong and its time to change something.

Story Time!

My Life after college started with me being associated with Smiley Card, a privilege Lifestyle card that would give you great deals at selected outlets. There were good times and bad times. Good times are always happy times, but when the bad times came, this question haunted me. I was still getting YES as the answer and that made me stick to it.

Where are you?

Arun Basil Lal · March 13th, 2011 · Scribblings

My intention of starting this blog was to blog for the joy of blogging, to write down random ramblings and to document my life. The only people I expected to read this was my real family and the people I think as my family.

But soon it became an obsession and started growing on me. I started writing down every thing in my life, and it grew to a point where I didn’t want to do something, cuz, if I did, I would have to write it down in here. I felt it during the Tata Jagriti Yatra where I had to note down the details somewhere so that I would remember it when I was blogging here. It was not fun anymore.

Day Out in Mumbai

Arun Basil Lal · December 28th, 2010 · Memoir

The boarding point of Tata Jagriti Yatra was Bombay. My mom’s sister lives in Bombay, so the plan was to come here a day early and spend a day in Bombay.

I got on the train on 21st, Tuesday. Too bad, my uncles dad passed away the very same day and mom’s sister was coming back home to Kerala. But she had made arrangements for my stay in one of her neighbours’ home, Alice aunty and family, they are also my relatives by too distant ones.
