Sivantha Kaikal by Sujatha review by Vijay Venkatesh (July 6,2012) Before anyone reads this review, I would first like to admit that my tamil-book-reading skills had dwindled over the last 10 years or so for the plain reason that I never had a chance to get in touch with one. Thanks to my fellow friend Premnath for constantly singing the Sujatha
So my attempt to blog again seems to have gone well so far. Probably because the topic I chose was the easiest and my favourite too. The only thing I told myself when I started my aquarium post was to at least post 5 blogs about it. I am glad I reached that milestone. That brings us to the question "What next?".

Day 64 now and I have quite a few updates to share. First and foremost, all that I mentioned in my previous post seem to have helped in getting rid of the algae.

There must have been times when you have been in long train journeys where you have nothing to do. You only get to do some visual work. Enjoy the scenery, the people , etc. You walk around the train and see a good set of people totally engrossed in their novels/newspapers/magazines. You wonder what they really enjoy about sitting in a place and reading. You wonder and wonder and you get back to your berth , wrap yourself in your little space again.
