1947 a love story
If you wonder that this post is gonna be related to 1947 love story movie...Ha ha ha you are absolutely wrong sir...This series(I assure not be a lengthy one) is going to be about my story(yay about the marital status change from "single" to "married").The deception point about the title is mine is not a love story but it is purely truly an arranged one.To bring extra cajoling and coaxing to the story I added a bit of extra flavour to the title...So enough of my blabbers...Here goes my story.
when did it all start???I mean the groom hunting...
It was the dawn of 2010...Pongal celebrations were on full swing...My mom slowly but steadily started the topic...She is very diplomatic in whatever she does...
Mom:You know what...Chithra your cousin is engaged now..Gayatri's mom told that they are searching groom for her...And heard Sarawathi gave birth to a kid..All of them are of your age...
Me:So what is the implied meaning here...
Mom:Nothing...Just wanted to say...Why don't you go with your dad and take a snap..
Me:What is the need
Mom:My mom's sister's daughter's hubby's bro has got a son...He is elder than you...I sent your horoscope and it matched well and they are asking for your snap...
Me:What????When did the game start?I mean the exchange of horoscopes and blah blah...
Mom:Enough of your wits...Go with your dad and take a snap..
Me:I don't have a photogenic face..I will not go...
Mom:I will ask your granny to speak to you(She always uses the brahmasthram called "Granny",because I never dare to shout at my granny)...
Me:Seri seri poren ma...But deal don't ask me to wear all the glittery jewels or don't ask me to smudge my face with creams and powders which obviously makes others to pose a question "Are you owning any powder company".
Mom:Once in lifetime you ought to opt for makeup and clad yourself with bright coloured saree and jewels...Don't you think that "Fanta color" saree would do...
Me:If you want me to decorate myself like " I am the brand ambassador of XYZ jewelley or for any textile shop"..I say I am not going with appa...Fantaaaaaaaa colorrrrrrrrrrr...It is too vibrant and to add fury the scorching sun creates extra effect and other's will surely laugh at me...So I am going to be simple..
Mom:What else I can say..better i shall call your grannyyyyyyyyyy...
Me:whattttttttttt.....You dare to use my weak point so often...
After all the arguments...I marched with my dad ..wearing the silk saree on a scorching day was a tiring experience....
Appa:oops...Seems like that photo studio is locked..
Me:Appa sagunam serla...Shall we go back..
Appa:Will you close your mouth...My friend owns a studio..We shall go there...
Studio Saga...
Studio owner is my father's friend...After a round of enquires...My father stated the purpose of visit..Studio owner assured to put his extraneous photo skills to make my face look pretty in the snap..poor moi!
Me:Sir...I am already running out of time...Con't wait more...
Studio Owner:You father is known for his patience...I don't know why you are so much in hurry...Ok go and stand there I will take a snap...
Me:Sir,2 mins and I should be done with my snap
Dad:Close your mouth and stand there...He knows things better than you...
With a smirk...I went and stood in the correct place and gave a "I am so tired,plz leave me" sorta look...For 20 mins,the owner was asking me to tilt my head this way and that way..Asking me to stand erect...Threatened me to smile and asked me to stay cool(How on earth will one be so cool,when you are asked to smile,stand and stare in an artificial manner)...
After all the chaos I created,he said "smile please" and I did do it...After waiting for 20 minutes...We got the snap....
Mom:So you got the snaps...
Me:I am not going to studio anymore...Henceforth don't do all these things...I don't like it..Also don't threaten with your brahmastharam.
Mom:Ok we will not ask you to do it again..I will send this to the groom's family..
Me:Send to anyone as you wish...But don't bother me....
Mom: They want to send a snap through email,so can you scan this snap.
Me:I con’t do that anymore more.
After a round of arguments and advices I decided to use my mobile which had very poor resolution and took a snap.I captured it myself holding the mobile in one hand and giving a pose.phew.
The outcome of the snap was very worse.I sent the same so-not-good photo to my aunt as pointed by mom.
So what happened?

A trip to remember forever
I was meaning to write a post to keep my blog alive.I put on my thinking cap to decide on what topic I should write, the only topic that came to my mind is about our recent Munnar trip.
It was a day where streets were so busy with Vinayakar Urvalam.People carried Vinayakar idols and were ready to submerge the same in the sea.My hubby and I were all set and ready for our Munnar trip.I heard from my hubby that the Allappey express from chennai will leave by 9.15pm.We packed our baggages for our trip.Clock ticked 8.45pm still we didnot reach the station.Blame our lethargic attitude.My MIL was so kind enough to catch an auto and we did reach the station by 9pm.Thank god.
We boarded the train and reached Ernakulam the next morning.Thanks for the package tour concept.We got a cab in Ernakulam and it took 5 hours to reach Munnar.Our resort was bit away from Munnar so we travelled one more hour to reach the same.The resort name was ayurcounty.It is one cool resort.we didnot find any reason to complain about.
Munnar is completely clad with tea plantations.The climate is just awesome and my hubby is so much in love with the climate.snows everywhere...Resort is completely admist tea plantations.By the time 6 the entire surroundings became so dark and we never visited any places after 6pm.
Below are some of the places we visited in Munnar,if you plan for a trip do just get hold of these places.
1.Periyakanal falls:
Wah is the only word which we could use..Such a lovely falls...Water all the way...The water looks so silvery and this falls adds beauty with the awesome chill climate over there.
2.Mattupatti Dam:
Well we had no clue when our cabby showed the Mattupatti dam...The dam was not full with water.May be thatz why we were not fascinated with the place.
3.Echo point:
As the name goes,when you say something you hear the echo from the mountain.My hubby tried hard to hear his own sound but in vain...hey you hubby,eat healthy then only you will have the strength to shout like me :)
4.Rajamalai National park:
This place is our favourite.We need to take the bus to reach the top.The mountain is completely clad with snow everywhere also you could see falls running at many places especially in this park.You have to climb certain distance to see Nilgir Tahrs(Mountain goats) the rare variety of goats...Apart from it the view of the mountain look so nice from this place.Nothing so eyecatching about this place but still you will feel so refreshing when you visit this place.I can go on and on about the climate and the mountain view.but I stop here and you people do visit this place.
5.Tea Museum:
Kannan Devan Tea Plantations seems to be the pioneer to start the tea plantations over there...The tea museum lets us know a lot more about the tea plantations in Munnar...You could get varieties of tea products there for sale...We got our own share as well.We didnot get time to visit spice plantation and so we stopped with tea museum.
6.Periyar Tiger Reserve(Thekkady):
We also visited Thekkady after our Munnar trip.We stayed in hotel grand which is again a nice hotel.We don't have much places to visit there except Periyar tiger reserve.You get a chance to travel through boat to witness lovely scenic beauty of moutains and some real cool animals...We saw different birds,sambhar deer and bisons..My hubby was so eager to see tiger but phew we did not see it though people say the park does holds tiger...
We were so tired and so we wrapped our trip with our purchases.
We got spices,home made yummy chocolates(Hubby and I are die hard chocolate lovers) and tea powders.
We are in love with hot lemon tea which we tasted it in Munnar... I bugged my hubby to get it often and he was so kind enough to get me whenever I bugged him.
I am sick to travel and whenever the hairpin bends came my stomach went for a churn.Again my hubby was so patient enough to get me lime soda everytime when he saw me suffering.And all through the cab journey I was sleeping (blame my sickness).
It is one of the memorable trips.Yes it was the first trip with my hubby...It is one of the loveliest place on earth...oh yeah I can go on and on...Let me stop with this...Plan for a vacation and visit Munnar.It is really a stress buster from our hustling bustling work :)

My gratitude to all my teachers
"Matha,pitha,guru and deivam" goes the saying.
I never understood the importance of teacher till one day when I was struggling to solve a math problem.There came my mom in the form of a teacher.She took pains to teach me and imbibe me the concept.I felt so glad to see myself solving the problem.All the credit goes to my mom.It was She who acted as my guru.I then understood the value of a teacher.
September 5th is adjudged as "teacher's day".I am not into the debate to discuss why not all the other days but only on Sep05th we should our gratitude to our teachers. I wish to THANK all my teachers who stand as a beacon of light in my life...No gifts,no cards but only a hearfelt THANKS.
I wanted to mention few people who played a great role in my life.Considering the length I am mentioning the top few people.
1.My Maternal granny(Avva):
The greatest regret in my life is I don't have her now with me.She reached her heavenly abode.She was the one who inculcated all good qualities in me...Every day she used to tell me krishna leela and that became a routine...I can write pages and pages about her...SHE will be my role model for ever.If at all I wish to become someone I wish I become like my granny...After her disappearance the place is so VOID and I tell it can never be occupied by anyone.The first and foremost GURU is avva...I con't thank her now.But I know she will always bless me and She is a TRUE angel.
2.My Parents:
I am what I am only because of my parents.Mom always stands behind me to push me hard beyond my limits.When I was struggling to take MAJOR decisions in my life,I found my parent's shoulder.I use to(till now) tell anything and everything to my mom..I have not hidden anything from her.She is my love...I am still learning to grab all her nice qualities...
My dad he is everything to me...A friend,philosopher et all...The respect and love towards him is no bound...He is one real person for moulding me for what I am today.I owe all my success(if at all I have any) to my dad...Without my dad's support I con't imagine me...
3.My little devil(brother):
Stupid,dumbo,moron oh ho I attribute it to him..He is a total intellect who throws me intelligent question and see me struggling.He is my guru who teaches me starting from sports to physics.I had never scolded someone so badly but I did only to him..I learnt a lot from him and today I show my interest in almost all the fields,all the credit goes to my little devil.
4.Sugantha mam:
It was during my college days I accidently bumped at her.Her simplicity attracted me a lot.She is an angel.I worship her as equal to my parents.I gained great interest in english all because of her.I lost her contact.But she remains to be my role model always.Kudos mam.
5.Banu mam:
My physisc mam.I always looked at her in awe whenever she took quantum mechanice for me..The way she explained concepts is no par...She took very complex topics in such a way that reached us very easily.The greatest regret is,I did not follow her words when it came to studies.Else I would have pursued something related to physics from a top institute.Mam people like you are rare.You are indeed my role model.
6.Ravi sir:
My chemistry sir...I love chemistry for the mere reason of Ravi sir's teachings.He thought the concepts from the scratch . I never touched my book after his class because I grabbed everything when he was teaching us the concepts.He is one teacher who is very much essential for this student community.A special kudos to you sir.
And i would like to thank all my other teachers
Hari mama and Ranga mama:For teaching me the wordly lessons and many more that I can never put it in words.
Madhu: My guru when it comes to writing.I started writing poetries only after reading his poem.Thanks Madhu for being a great teacher and a true friend.
Naru: Another moron in the form of my bro.If I wanted to talk something loony I call him and we have good time.He can speak as insane like me..He is a duffer.He is the ONLY one person to whom I use SWEAR words!He is better than me at MATHS and loves to see me struggling by throwing intellect question.Hey Naru I always enjoy our CAT-IIM discussions da!You are my teacher in many ways.
Friends:Oh they play a great role in my life.The list is big.So I would like to curtail by saying a big thanks to all of you.
Relatives:thank you so much for teaching me all the aspects of life.
I would like to wrap saying "Miles to go before I sleep".But i am sure with people like you all around as my teachers the path of travel will be easy.

Book review:The Secret
I am not a person who opts for self help books....But still I con't stay numb when people suggest me some good self help books...It was during my college days I read a book called "Reaching your potential" by Norman Vincent Peale(The book is close to my heart,because my favourite Sugantha mam presented me the book and secondly the book changed my outlook towards life :) ) and in workspace one of colleagues suggested me to read "The monk who sold his ferrai"..I was done with the above 2 books...
On a casual chat with my uncle I came to know about a book called "The secret" written by Rhonda Byrne...My urge to read this book grew stronger...I am indeed fortunate to see my cousin holding this book...I pleaded her and grabbed it from her...Rest what..I am DONE with the book...Yahooooo....
Here are some points from the book which I could comprehend.
1.Stay positive,think positive and act positive.
2.Law of attraction is pervasive.If you wanted to crack your exam then attract similar thoughts about it and voila you will crack it for sure..
3.If you are wanting something assume that you already possess it.That will satify your quest.
4.Thoughts play a crucial role.Everything in the universe is in the form of energy.So make your thoughts active by adding positive flavour.
5.The greatest potent in this cosmos is YOU.believe in you and no doubt you can shatter obstacles on your way :)
The books also tells you the sceret for health,The secret for you,The secret for relationship and many more.
All I say at this juncture.Give it a try and I am sure you will witness a change in you,Trust me!
I thank Ranga mama for suggesting me this book!

The pursuit of happyness
I am not a movie buff..But given a chance I love to watch some handful of movies that are already in my must watch movie list(which is very long you see)...
I was meaning to see "the pursuit of happyness" for quite a long time...I was pestering my bro to take me to the movie but it always turned out to be vain...Still I was crazy to watch the movie...Whenever I heard this movie name,I felt bad for not seeing it...I was bothering my brother for so long....
And finally the day arrived and I was all set to watch the must watch movie "the pursuit of happyness"...It was about the real story of "christopher Gardner"...
Positive attitude always leads to positive results and the same applies to movies as well..When you watch real life stories which is too much suffused with positivism you automatically gain the positive wave...
The movie begins with Chris Gardner's struggle for his earning...His wife parts from him,leaving their son Christopher all alone with Chris Gardner...Chris takes dure care of his son but still struggles to keep both ends meet...His struggle continues...But he holds a powerful weapon called fighting against the odds...With positive attitude he fights his troubles and today no doubt he is a great and renowned personality...
"The pursuit of happyness" is a must watch movie...You get to learn a lot...Every frame in the movie moves you a lot..Especially the acting of "Christopher" the kiddo is mind blowing...After Taare zameen par ,this movie captivated me a lot...
Words that captivated me a lot from the movie
Don't ever let somebody tell you... You can't do something
got a dream... You gotta protect it. People can't do somethin' themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want somethin', go get it. Period.
Some of the other must watch movies in my list are
1.Kite runner(I read the book several times,but I wanted to watch every frame of the movie).
2.Beautiful mind(I have the book with me and holy cow!I know it will take eons for me to get it completed,so wanna watch the movie).
3.LOTR-Lord Of The Rings(Always wanted to read the book,I know again it will take eons so looking forward for the movie).
4.Harry potter series(After so many hypes,I wanted to watch all the 6 parts at a stretch)
5.Inception(I despeartely wanted to watch it after reading trillion movie reviews)
I know my list of must watch movies and books keeps on increasing every day in and day out...I wish god grants my wish and spares me a world full of books and movies and of course with sumptuous luncheons (the total foodie in me...)...
Do catch up the movie...It is no doubt a worthy watch

Books,books books
It is my friend ,who was speaking about a book called "Now that you are rich,let us fall in love" by Dhurjoy Dutta and Maanvi Ahuja...Indian authors always attract me and I desperately wanted to grab a copy of the book...I am a kinda person who love books related to thrillers and I am not of the kind who reads Mills and boon...When I heard the above book,I could not get any reviews and still I wanted to read it...Finally grabbed a copy and here goes the book review...
It is all about four people Abhi,Sourav,Shruthi and Garima.All the four were brilliant enough to score good grades in their college...All of them land into a company that offers a lucrative salary.
Once after entering into the concern they tend to witness the real face...The bullyings by their bosses,the work pressure and internal politics to keep their job safe...A great swing around them...But they four tend to be friends and share their happy and gloomy moments together..Life revolves with great swings and what happens to their career and life..You need to get hold of the book...
I spent 100bucks for the book and was expecting something different...It was not up to my expectation...I also got an another book "Ofcourse I love you till I find someone better" by the same authors...I am not fascinated to read it...Will try sometime later.
P.S.Currently reading a book called "Secret"...You shall expect a review on it soon.Till then ciao.

Are you a trekking nut?
Hey you homo sapiens !If your bio molecules are too much longing for trekking...well you are at the right place and proceed to read more on it...If you are one genre who is not so fascinated with trekking stuffs enter at your own risk..There you go with my own first trekking experience.
When my team mates were planning for a Kodaikanal trip...I was all but excited...Jumping from earth to sky..For the mere reason I love travelling and exploring things a lot...The sheer cool place attracts me to hell..So we were on a trip to Kodaikanal and the day came for the trekking.
I always love trekking..Never had a chance to try once...When my crew started for the trek ,I was all set..I did put forth my first step on a narrow path full of muddy rocks and trees...I could not manage but slipped...I felt it was not my cuppa coffee and So I decided to quit the race.
1.Be confident "Nothing is impossible"
When I was about to quit...One of team member called me and advised not to relinquish...She went further and said "Lady be bold and march, everything is possible"...For a minute I was confused with too many questions like "What will happen if I slip from the top?"(the question looked too scary"..."what will happen if the wild beasty animals chase me"...oops my mind was flooded with question .The last thing I wanted to do was to stop my thinking cap and jump into the race...Yippeee I started my first trek..
2.Accessories will do the trick:
If you are a female never ever opt for a salwar that too a white salwar with a flat sandals to be more specific a slippery one and never ever dare to take a handbag better let it be a backpack...If you are wondering who did the trek with salwar,sandals and a handbag..No wonder it is me...Perfect suite for trekking is Jeans and tshirt with shoes (grip one)...Accessories help you a lot I tell you.
3.Leader leads you by example:
I was fortunate enough to have a guide and a fellow colleague who helped me a lot while trekking..If you are new to trekking always seek others who are more confident...Follow them...I was puffing and panting all through the trek..Thanks to my guide and colleague who offered me a help when I went tired.
4.Backpack with medication:
Please carry a medicine kit with your backpack..Prevention is always better than cure..If you feel sultry carry a towel with you.
5.Water the elixir of life:
Carry a bottle of water with you..If you feel tired or if your body becomes anemic, water will definitely save you. No doubt it is a true elixir.
6.Mind your step while you trek:
During your trek you will be tempted to click snaps with your digital camera. Beware do not ever try it...Because you will be walking amidst dense forest with thick bushes and thorns, so please have a note on your steps. Also never try to hit the leaves on the pavement. Some leaves have the capacity to create allergies...If at all you happen to hit the leaves by accident...No worries ,to alleviate the swollen skin just rub the part on your hair and it will solve the allergy.
7.Hands and legs your powerful weapon:
If you are fluffy and slightly over weight like me,no worries…We will still be able to trek…God has given as hands and legs…Who said trekking should be only with your legs?Hands are also allowed…At least I did manage to trek with my hands and legs…I was not able to climb steep rocks .I used my hands to hold and climb .Some times I sat and jumped across the rocks…So never worry about being slightly overweight. Why fear when your hands are there to help you out
Above all trekking is fun..You will enjoy a lot when you experience it. You will inhale fresh pure oxygen. The experience is something which you will cherish forever.
The above are my personal experience...I made quite a scores of mistakes...Never mind..Life always stabs and slaps at you and gives an opportunity to learn.
So what are you waiting for? If you are planning for a trek, please do invite me and I will join the club!
