||• R E A D •|| . I want to confess one thing here. Till my master degree graduation my mom or the best friends of that period used to read the #books and I usually sit beside and listen to them. If I read alone, I cannot remember them for a long time , I either dream about the vacation or something else . But when I listen to someone it stays in my memory for ever. . Even during my hostel days, i used to sleep a lot and enjoy reading novels but not the textbooks. When any of my friends start to prepare for exam, i used to sit next to them and listen to their read-loud-out. ( best part is, scoring more than the helping friend ;) nothing intentional but i can write well when I understand ) . Reading is definitely a #cognitive process, a means of language acquisition, interpretation , communication, sharing ideas and info. . I won’t say i lack in that. I must say the interest towards something (books except textbooks) and my superb listening skills were dominant. .

||• ICE CREAM •|| . #Phuket , Thailand is where we went to Honeymoon. Yes an awesome trip 🌴 . We went out at night with another couple to have a double #date . We entered a mall #Jungceylon and it looked great with the lighting and DJs. Stunned by the #liveliness of the place . Most probably my first & recent ever outing at night. . The other couple ordered beer. Both of us dont consume any kind of alcohol , neither a smoking person. We thought we will give company to the other couple, so insisted hubby man to get my favourite ice cream from @baskinrobbins . Usually females are crazy about ice cream while am unusually not so crazy about female species , but i was left with no choice. . Language was a big barrier there. To explain them was a total dump charades fun. The lady (ice cream vendor saleswoman ) couldn’t understand what flavor i was asking for, also i was keep on adding the toppings list. My hubby couldn’t handle both the known and unknown ladies’ talkie

||• TRAVEL •|| . My first flight travel was from Patna to Bangalore, 3 hours stop over at #Kolkata. My mom , sis and me went to attend my bestie’s wedding . North Indian weddings are usually at night unlike South Indian. I am so happy that I am South Indian in two aspects, (one night wedding and another is food )because My wedding was a late muhurtham around 10 AM. I had so much time to enjoy 😊   . Well that’s me, “If you give me a cup of curd rice, i will treat you like God”.  . Since first flight, so many gave instruction on what is the procedure to check in airport ,baggage luggage blablabla.  . It was a lil bad weather, so flight was humpy-jumping. My mom , sis and me cracked jokeless joke “ Road is not good, so many pits that’s why the hump;Probably pilot is driving for the first time ;Pilot didn’t check the air in the tire “. My lil sis was making fun out ,” The flight attendants are similar to samosa wala in train except that they can dress up well, speak Engl

My due date was nearing and as every newie mom-to-be i phoned few of my friends who were already mothers, enquired regarding their first time normal delivery journey. Lots of mixed feelings inside.  On 22 November 2017, hubby man became restless with my nearing due date, so took work from home. It was my 39th week( one week due) . Just a week early,  I experienced a false pain while i went walking with hubby. Rushed to home and explained it to MIL. The pain stopped after the Kashyam that my MIL gave.  I wanted to apply mehandi, i did apply,clicked pic and posted in FB page too. Just when i was about to lye down for a super power nap at 3:30PM, mild cramps started. At 6:45 PM cramps increased inspite of kashyam i had.  By that time all home folks reached home listening to the hot news ( yes i live in sweet joint family 7 in number + one on boarded fellow who was inside me). In laws phoned my parents and my mom was on her way. I was afraid what if this was also

what is special about this blog post is, it is about my pen kaanal - Bride-seeing function -The century old barbaric tradition, I would say ! Got ready in the early morning ( my mid night time) 6 AM all set. Well Washed ( yes an hour bath) loosened hair styled with a centre cute clutcher, diamond earrings , my mother’s necklace, a timex bracelet type watch, gold bangle. If not nose stud , diamond is mandatory in any Tamil Brahmin wedding. They used to prank us “ one diamond nose stud and silver pot vessel is enough for bride’s wedding”. My relatives came one by one . Yes I have big family tree. We are 18 in dad’s side and 30 in mom’s side. Thinking of the hall space and to avoid scaring the bride groom side, we restricted to 20 ( Obviously my dads side family) My cousins were already in the selfie mode. While i was sweating like going to take the 10th board exam. Of course they liked my photos , but still I wanted to give a good impression. “First impression is the best i

Worth reading... Being in your twenties...... It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like.You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now. You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you. You look at your job... and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what ot

Salute Our Mythology:              "Mom, I am a genetic scientist. I am working in the US on  the evolution of man. Theory of evolution. Charles Darwin, have you heard of him? " Vasu asked.           His Mother sat next to him,  smiled and said, "I know about Darwin, Vasu. But Have you heard of Dashavatar? The ten avatars of Vishnu?"  Vasu replied 'no'.           "Ok! Then let me tell you what  you and your Darwin don't know.          Listen carefully-           The first avatar was the Matsya avatar, it means the fish. That is because life began in the water. Is that not right?"             Vasu began to listen with a little more attention.              She continued, "Then came the Kurma Avatar, which means the tortoise, because life moved from the water to the land. The amphibian! So the Tortoise denoted the evolution from sea to land.             Third avatar was Varaha, the wild boar, which meant the wild animals with not much intelle

Hi Readers, Here is a piece of thought that came up when i was pondering about my school days. In childhood we used to neglect from tiny things to Big Bang things. The most commonly used word “carelessness” or non performance of the duty. One fine day, it was school reopen day. All newly brown covered notebooks, mickey mouse labeled. First subject period or hour was mathematics. A teacher came in and introduced himself. As usual the chitchat about the behavior of each teacher at the last bench, while the first benchers looks teacher as God and start parroting the teachers words  while the middle bencher like me cat on the wall category does either of the above. This teacher was peculiar, he introduced himself and started talking about few out of box topics.  One of the topics is the power of negligence. What a carelessness can cause!  The value of pi is  3.14159 , mostly we round off as 3.142. He insisted we need to use the 3.14159 value. From our facial expression, he sensed the frust

Hi Readers, Here is an interesting incident happened at my home. Hope you may like it.  One day my sister was home alone. She invited her friends and was studying (suspiciously, but yes). She had a nice time with her friends, eating snacks( that was reserved for me) , watching film and some studying too.  And as usual when friends gang up , one of friends will give crazy ideas like Let’s play Neimisis Ouija Board and talk to spirit and ask how much we will score in the forthcoming exams .  My sister is lil sensitive but curious about spirits and stuffs. The topic however changed to ghost stories. They continued to talk on ghosts and completed studying too. Little later, friends left home, she was again home alone. Sitting on the sofa she started snacks watching her favorite ghost film in television. In between an interesting ghost scene, a call came. She was shocked. Gathering confidence, she attended that call. It was my mom who called her to inform that she w
