Gifts,marriages,kaapi podi and many more...

Weekends are spent attending upanayanams and marriages of known/unknown relatives/friends,tasting sumptuous delicacies...So what I am coming to say!well well I am completely engaged even on weekends lolzzz....

Getting a gift for relative's upanayanam/marriages is very much mandatory!People at home strictly follow a set of rules for getting a gift.The gift should be either be gold/silver...If it is a gold it should be either a coin or a ring(mostly)...If it is a velli pathram it should be either a tumbler or velli kinnam...weight of an article shows the height of your affection.So it's obvious to choose an article which challenges you to lift it!...Why I am blabbering all these...err we got a gift to be precise velli tumbler for my relative's marriage and that made me to write this.


Mom,dad,bro and I are coffee freaks...we consume atleast a minimum of 5 cups of coffee every day and still we feel of having it...so I leave it to your take on the quantity of coffee powder we purchase every fortnight...Whenever I go out for grocery shopping my mom always reminds me to get kaapi podi and the brand should strictly be "PADMA Coffee" and it should follow the ratio of 80/20 .Come on guys itz not a quality theorey,it's all about coffee theorey...80%coffee and 20% chicory...These days I am so accustomed and I automatically add coffee powder in my list,that saves my moms energy...


It is always a bliss to be amongst kiddos...First thing you will feel like a kiddo...Secondly the environment makes you to rejuvenate yourself...Thirdly ya play with them which makes you to forget your stress!Had nice time with my chotu niece and that brought a smile in me...


The coming weekends are also gonna be spent by attending my cousin's marriage and upanayanam :)

55-fiction-[The niche]

55-fiction involves the total of 55 words in the post with title being the exception.

tried one such 55-fiction and here you go




Her hands started to shiver ,Her face looked pale

Heart pounded so fast than the usual

To make her pulse soar very high

The conflict started well before in advance

It’s time for her to prove her identity

Typing the number in hurry

She looked the screen

Only to scream that she topped her exams

Wanna whack contest

I was skimming blogadda site and this cool contest caught my eyes...I thought of giving a try and the result is this post:)If you wanna participate click the above link and try your hand on it!

I hear my momma's voice everytime when I lose my temper...The usual word from her would be "Be cool and hold your temper"...I try my best to be as cool as a cucumber phew but I end up losing my temper...To be honest I never whack someone at that condition but I wish to yell when I encounter such situation.so what are the situations that makes me to yell,please proceed further.

1.Bullying is one quality which I hate...I have seen people who bully their sub-ordinates...One should cross all hard paths to reach the higher position and it takes lot of efforts and time.But the master never understand this and always bully his/her subordinates...when I see such people I feel like yellingggg.....

2.There are certain situation which makes me to act fast...eg I run and run to have my breakfast and to catch my bus...When someone comes to my place at that hour and ask me too many questions,I feel like yelling "hey I am already in haste then why question me" is what I tend to yell...But havenot tried it.

3.Self-conceited peopleeeeee.....Ahhh I con't stand when I see self-conceited people...They assume as if the earth will come to an end,if someone doesnot hear their words!I often meet these sorta people...

4.People whose main job is backbiting!!!I am one such person who wish to throw everything directly and when I see people who speak backbites,I lose my temper and feel like yelling...Again I never throw my barbs!

5.When people ask your opinion for namesake but never take it into account...I feel like "Hey you are gonna take your own decision then why bother me and waste my time!"But as always I am helpless and never tend to yell...

So image at the top right is the image I chose to use for my so called whacking!It is a key chain...It is always handy and I hold it in my bag :P

Thanks blogadda for this wonderful opportunity

Of weddings and life

These days I get lot of marriage invites from my friends!The probability of not attending those weddings tends to be large than the probability of attending it.But as always I try my best to attend those :)

Below is a conversation I had with my friend.We both of us travel with the same frequency and so we discuss anything above the earth and anything under the sun.Mostly insane sometimes sane too...Below are purely our opinion,we are not here to hurt other's emotions or sentiments.Any resemblance in real life is a pure coincidence.

Here I paste our conversation.
Let's call my friend as M.

M:getting lotsa marriage invites these days.
Me:Haan!me too...Atleast one daily.

M:Have you noticed onething ?
Me:What thing?

M:Gals tend to quit their jobs after their marriage?Is it an offense to continue our job and support our family after marriage?
Me:I personally don't find any fault with it!offense is a big word.After all whatz wrong in supporting your parents after your marriage?They have cuddled and cared you for whole 20+ years,and what is wrong in supporting your parents yar?

M:Well,I guess some males are chauvinist!they never allow their wife to work or support their family.

Me:Very well said and I appreciate the word "Some".Yes agreed some are chauvinist and never allow their wife to support their family.

M:You speak too much like a reformer.But will you follow ur words!

Me:lolz...Why doubt!I would support my parents till my life though they never expect my support.Gals are so much par to guys and I don't find any differentiation!

M:Ahhh!You speak a lot!Do you think a guy will agree to all ur blabbers!

Me:How dare you say my words as blabbers....Hope people accept what is true!

M:Never always dream that you will see "Swaminathan" from the book "If god was a banker" in reality.No such person exists in reality.

Me:Agreed on that part!But let's hope the situation changes and every guy understands his wife and allow her to support her parents.After all it's the mutual understanding that makes the difference.Life will be bliss if we understand and respect others.I know it is easy to preach and hard to follow.I am on the way of following the same.

Hardy boy's "The vanishing thieves"

Have heard a lot from my friend about "Hardy boys" and "Nancy drew" but never inculcated the habit of reading those novels during my school days...Always I tend to go with the good old adage "Better late than never".

My teamy was so sweet enough to lend me Hardy boys "The vanishing theives" book and I am proud to say that I completed the book in 2 days(Great accomplishment after the dawn of 2010)...well enough of my nitwits...let me come to the book.

Hardy boy's series is all about Fenton hardy and his sons "Joe Hardy" and "Frank hardy"...The way they solve the mysterious and puzzling cases are simply amazing and stunning.

This particluar book is all about two cases missing nickel coin and a car...The way they unveil the culprits and the way how both the the cases are interconnected makes you awestruck.

I feel for missing lot of "Hardy boy's" series.Have to catch them up all.I swear I love Enid blyton and Hardy boy's book...Though I tend to be the victim of mocking amongst my friends circle for reading kiddo books.

Is it an offense to read kiddo books!I don't think so...Every one of us for sure possess the kiddish quality in us...Try to be a kid in your qualities to forget about your distress and to enjoy every moment of your life.

Hope my friends lend more of Enid Blyton and Hardy boy's book :)

Wonderland and the road ahead

After the dawn of 2010,I relinquished many of my hobbies.The first thing that tops my hobby is reading novels...I have loaded my shelf with many beautiful novels even ordered 2 books through online(yet to receive it though) but I am not so proud to say that I have not completed any of my novel.Also phew...I gave my novels to many of my friends some returned and many are yet to return...chal...

Last week I felt so bad about it (for not reading novels)and started to read two novels Alice in wonderland and The Road ahead

Alice in wonderland by Lewis Carol:

I missed to read this book during my childhood and always had a longing to read it.Last week I got an opportunity to read this book despite mockings from my friends.Wonder about the mocking?they teased me for reading a kiddish book...But being so staunch I completed the book in 2 days...Finally I get to know it's all about fantasy and fun :)An imaginary world,world full of unexpected things...whoaaa I became so deep rooted with this book and it was a great time pass...At last I am done with this book.

The road ahead by Bill gates:

Attended a corporate quiz and there was a question about the book "the road ahead" but I didnot answer the question for the only reason I don't know about this book.Fortunate enough to get this book from my friend!And I am done with the book in a day.Wonder how Bill gates started his coding career at the age 13...How he worked hard to form a company called Microsoft.Loved the way how he correlated computers with future.Gates always motivates younger generation people like us...Kudos Sir...way to go!

There I was with 2 books!Lotsa books remains untouched and the list of "Must read" books are getting increased every day in and day out.Wish I own a library to read all my favourite books :)

Vicinity of better tomorrow

A vain attempt to poetry!

Choley Batura

I agree "Change is the only permanent thing that keeps on changing".

These days life is so monotonous and so cliched!Same bus,Same office,Same hostel,Same home ...Oops all tend to be the same...I don't even find a shred of change around me for the past few days perhaps years too ...

Today while I was at my dinner and rummaging through the menu.."choley batura" caught my eyes...Have tasted chola poori not choley batura any time!Mind said don't try it but heart said take your chance and try it...Obeyed voice of heart and ordered "choley batura"...

Now I understand what Choley batura is!It is a poori variety with chenna for side dish...The dish tasted really good...I have added one more hobby into my list...yes exploring new dishes...To be specific exploring pure vegetarian dishes...

After all that was a bit of change from my monotonous rountine task!

Angels and Demons

No doubt Dan Brown's "Angles and demons" is one of my all favourite book!Read it several times but never had a chance to watch the movie until last week...Thank god I did get an opportunity and here comes the post about the movie...I know it is going to be a very late movie review but still I always stick with the good old adage "Better late than never"...

First I was delighted to see things which I read in book through visual effects aka movie.As always loved the character "Robert Langdon"...The movie made justice to the book.Every frame of the movie correlated very well with the book!

Missing canister,Pope election,Illuminati yay melange of things in a single movie as well as in the book..you need to catch either the book or the movie to know more about the missing canister,illuminati and the pope elections...I was completely glued in my seat till the end!

A great watch and Robert Langdon character captivated me a lot!All I would like to say is catch up the book or the movie :)
Dan Brown rocks!And I am in due to read his Deception point and Lost symbol...Hope to grab it sometiem soon!

Love to be my true self

Every day is a learning and every mistake you commit teaches ya a lesson not to repeat it for the next time!

There are some intrinsic characteristics which resides in you and which will never vanish from you during the course of time...intrinsic qualities makes you unique...I am proud to say I have my own unique characteristics which differentiates me from others.At any cost I never wish to change it for I wish to be my true self.

Of course the heart is there to watch every deed of your's and to point you whenever you tend to do a wrong thing...I seriously don't understand why people are so vituperative in pointing other's intrinsic qualities?!Wonder why?!If any of my qualities are not gonna hurt others,why should I fake myself and shun my qualities?!I wish to be my true self and least bother about any scathing comments..

If there are 10 people to appreciate your qualities there will be some 15 people to criticize you.If your are damn sure that you are heading towards the right path don't care about that 15 count who criticize you and be your true self!

I wish I were a child

I was boarding my bus and a cute ,an year old kiddo was sitting with it's mom near my seat...

The kiddo started to play with my handbag and after few seconds the kiddo started to smile at me and I reciprocated it with my smile...For some 15 minutes we exchanged our smiles.The destination came and the mom took her child and vanished.But after few seconds tears started to roll in my cheek for no reasons.

I wish I were a child for the below reasons.

1.I wish I were a child,for I will be smiling for ever.
2.I wish I were a child,for I will be far from the rat race.
3.I wish I were a child,for I will be ignorant of the happy moments and gloomy situations.
4.I wish I were a child,for I will never be conceit.
5.I wish I were a child, for I will never care damn for money.
6.I wish I were a child, for I will never be a crook which will hurt others.
7.I wish I were a child,for I will never speak ill about others.
8.I wish I were a child,for I will never hurt other's at any sake.
9.I wish I were a child for I will never be greedy when it comes to things.
10.I wish I were a child for I will never go for backbites!

There are many reasons to justify why I wish to be a child alas I know that will not happen.But now I understand why GOD resides in every kid.

Kiddos they are the most wonderful creation on earth...No doubt!

Productive week

Last weekend was a productive weekend for me!...Wanna know how productive it was!Saw my fav taare zameen par movie for the nth time!Did some shopping and picked a tussel with my mom for food...

Taare Zameem par:

This happens every weekend...Rummage haphazardly and search for taare zameen par CD..Put the CD in the computer and for next few hours never care about things happening around you...Several calls from my mom never reaches my ears and all of a sudden I come to reality and rush to my mom,only to get sweet scoldings from her!Bro still wonders whatz so fascinating about the movie...Stupid he doesnot know how much I love the movie...The same will be repeated for coming weeks perhaps years as well....taare zameen par rockzzzzz and yeah I am a proud dumb to forget the dialogues but love to watch the movie for trillion times :)

Shopping:

I am not fond of shopping though I a proud woman!I outsource my shopping to my momma...It was my cousin who itched me(moi cousin you reading it?If so I am dead) and asked me to take her to shopping!Being a generous person I am(no pun intended mind ya),I took her to a textile shop...I really con't understand why I always feel so crazy for the salwar which always sits in other person's hand!I picked a salwar but I was not so fascinated and was eyeing for a differnt color.The color for which I was eyeing was in someone else hand!ufff it was not quite new for me and so I was generous enough(yet another time) to let it go to someone and picked my no-so-favourite colour dress :)...gobbled dhahi poori and boarded the jam packed bus to reach my home...

Tussle all for food:

I am so proactive in whatever I do..Sample this...I feel monday blues beforehand ie during sunday evening and as always I brood over it to my momma...last week I had a chance to brood about FOOD.what else a foodie like me can speak about ;)...I created a tussle and abjected for hotel foods!(Which I eat it for the past 3 years)...I made all sorta chaos as if my momma is the owner of the hotel which I visit regularly...Being the sweetest lady my momma ignored my nitwits as always!oops all say my insanity is reaching at it's peak!But I say only an insane can better understand another insane like moi true self!

Now don't you think how productive my week was!Watching a movie,a bit of shopping and a tussle for a trivial thing complemented the entire week!Indeed a super productive week!!!
