Life in Chennai taught me to pursue excellence  I’m still getting used to hostel life, which is a far-cry from my Mumbai life. My lifestyle here is undergoing a certain change. I don’t have my Madhu chachi to serve me herbal juice early in the morning. Nor do I have Susanna, my pilate instructor around to motivate me to workout regularly. To study I have to forgo a lot of happiness. After all I cant have everything on a platter, can I? These days I’m getting fatter, as I am too lazy to workout. Guess after another 7 months, I shall be back to my healthy lifestyle. That was me in July 2010, living in Asian college of Journalism Campus.  But the beauty of the campus life was I became more hardworking , inched towards excellence . Some friends were rude ,few were friendly. But I metamorphosed into my beautiful magnanimous self. I work better under pressure . I had so much work everyday, I would work then get tired and would sleep early and wake up early. I led...

Chennai in comparison is huge and sprawling with flyovers, skyscrapers with a bustling, busy fast life. But in the margins live these children of lesser God. You meet them and they represent the microcosm of poverty mired in the miasma of poverty and they also think of their ‘rozi-roti’ as they call. When I visited them not far from the busy Marina beach in the overcrowded Triplicane, they have nothing except a hut, a mixture of a hut patched with polythene covers to protect them from seasonal rains, small huts that house families of husband, wife an...
