Sniff sniff

Well it all started last week and i am still entangled with it.Wanted to come out of it,but dont know when...Wondering what i am talking about?It about my fever,cold and dry cough.

Was affected with flu(not the swine flu version) last week...I didnot drench in rain nor took a bath in ice cold water but was severely affected with headache,cold and dry cough..


Appa took me to our family doctor.My mind always creates a deep impression about something and fails to accept other things..I never dare to consult any other doctors except our family doctor..The thing i hate from my family doctor is he always prefer injection for anything and everything.

Believe me i took 6 injections in 2 days,i am so much scared to see the sharp needle...My appa did hold me and my doctor did his injecting the needle job not so perfectly.The aftermath was worse..Both my hands got swollen.bah....


Amma prepared delicious delicacies like payasam,vadai,kesari on sarawathi poojai and vijayadhasami day...Murphy never allowed me to touch anything ,not even my favourite thayir saadham maa vadhu..All i ate was rasam sadham and ofcourse medicines and cough syrup...I really cont understand y people ask me to refrain eating thayir saadham when i suffer from cold..


occupied a cot in my house and had a deep slumber throughout the day(2 days to be specific).Amma woke me exactly by 11,fetched water for my ablusion,quenched my hunger with rasam saadham and again i did hit the sack.exactly at 3pm amma again woke me with filter coffee.Again i took my slumber then dinner...Two days god amma took a perfect care of my health...


Today i am back to office...Hostel food sucks,i dont dare to eat it..I prepare my own food...It would be nice if i have a cuppa horlicks now..phew amma yinga yilleye...I hafta prepare myself :(

Dussara

My home is all set and beautifully embellished with cute toys and sparkling lights..Yup you got it right,its because of dussara ...

Among all the toys i like the dussavathar and Ashtalakshmi collections.There are lot more collections which includes bride and bridge groom,the chettiyar bommai and many more...It is an eyecandy to witness these toy's to glow in radiant sparkling light..


It's been a practice to visit all our neighbour's place and collect delicious sundal from them.People who have good voice showcase their skills(i dont have one,so i never take the risk).Being a foodie i am,i taste the sundal the moment they give it to me...ahhh they are always sumptuous and yummy...

Kiddo's fancy themselves under the disguise of krishna,rama etc.Lovely to see kiddos with all those make ups...I hang all my gold ornaments during festive season and dussara is one such occasion.People chant slogas during the evening...Mellifluous music flows into my ears from all side of my home...


Temple's are crowded with people on all these 9 days.Ofcourse Saraswathi poojai and Vijayadhasami takes the main attraction..On the whole,dussara is one festival which i like the most.many be coz of sundal,may be coz of the cute little kiddos,may be coz of the toys..There are many may be's...hmmmm.....


All said and done..I miss all these eye and ear candies...I am away from my home to witness this lovely festival :(:(:(....

Longing for a slumber

Its been eons since i watched the sun set or sun raise.It's been a week since i had a good sound sleep say 8 hours..Oops am i complaining or cribbing about my life.Nope i dont want to...But yes for the past few days i spend my lion share of time at office and i diligently work for my client.

On an average i find 5 hours of time to hit my sack and get back..Working on UK and US shifts made me to forget about my breakfast(Its been 2 months since i had my bfast,dont count weekends,i go home and have a sumptuous bfast)..Coming back to lunch it's really horrible and dinner worse.(Hotel food sucks)..


I was moved for a maintenance project to a testing based project.A great transition it is...All i do is test,test test and find as many bugs as possible and send the application back to the developer.One nice thing i am learning from my work is patience(which i hardly have).




When everyone are busy on friday evening to celebrate their weekend josh,i still wait till saturday morning(yup my weekend starts only then)...And i guess this weekend is going be a long weekend for many(not for me guys,again i am working diligently)..hmmmmmm
....life moves like this....bah....


I am all set and waiting for my weekend to start especially for a good 8 hours sleep...Awww Dassara has started and my home is already decorated with cute toys...I cont wait to taste the delicious Sundal which amma prepares.

oops this post turned out to be a complaining post about my life i guess..bah..have agreat weekend guys...Cya

hard Work and weekend...

Last weekend i was entangled with lotsa work.Yup i was busy with my house chores..No wild thoughts i didnot enter into the mission of cooking.Being a good natured person am,i always think about others.So i never took the risk of bothering others with my dishes..So what did i do?

Cleaning,cleaning and lotsa cleaning...Every year this month on a particular day we offer tribute to all the people who reached the heavenly abode.The day is called as Thavasam..Last Saturday was one such day..


On one side amma and perimma woke early in the morning,had a nice snanam and started their culinary skills,on the other side appa and perippa started to enchant mantras along with the prohits and pundits..Amma warned to keep my mouth shut atleast that day(being a foodie,i always munch something or the other).


My stomach started to ache.And the moment i saw amma preparing Halwa,Adhrisam my mouth started to water,It is a strict custom that only after serving foods to prohits we are supposed to have the lunch.it was already 1pm and i was longing for my lunch(delicious lunch)...At that moment i realized the value of food,hunger everything...


By 1.30pm amma started to serve us with the luncheon.Wow i loved all the dishes.I am so much in love with Rasam saadam which amma prepares....I equally love thayir saadam too....I ate raasam saadam thrice that day....After that we started to clean our home.From evening till night we were cleaning and washing all the vessels.

At 11.30pm my legs started to ache and eyes started to doze.Automatically i did hit the sack.Sunday again function at relative's place.Again had some work..At 11.30pm monday blues started to bother me...I always mutter "Oh god it is monday"...Not even a single time i felt so happy for monday...I dont think i will change too...Sigh....


So last week made me to sweat or toil hard...I always love weekend and i always expect it....Weekends are bliss despite the toiling work..DOnt they?

Ramblings

1.Its been really long since i read a book...The only perfect thing i am doing these days is sleep,sleep and only sleep...I became a sleepomaniac...sheesh....

2.I cont understand why you call some one who is relatively far from your deeds,who finds thousand faults in you,who cannot understand life is uncertain can be your relative(not all, some people)....any of my relatives reading this(I am dead)..

3.For the past few days i am working in UK timings....I feel really lonely,coz all my frnds work in gendral timings...My biological clock is completely changed...During weekends when rest of the people at home sleep i keep my eyes wide open like an owl and when the clock strikes 3am,i hit my sack and engulf myself into deep slumber...My father worries about my health..dont worry dad i am perfectly alright...the prob is with my bilogical clock you see...

4.Meenuuuuuuu my friend......god she is exactly a livewire...I really wonder how on earth she gets the oodle of energy...She is one such gal who always hold a lovely smile...We sync very well..Yes you got it right....She is one such gal who hears all my crappy talks and longs to hear too(ahem ahem)..yeah she is also a loopy gal like me....Thatz y we gel like something i guess...Jokes apart..meenu you are an angel gal....We are non stop chatter boxes and hope to maintain our title throughout..ofcourse i cont compete with meenu..She always tops the title(Chatter box no1)...I am next to her (chatter box2)...

5.Life is so uncertain....When i think for something,it never happens...when i dont want something i get it...When i long for something,it vanishes from my sight....I guess that is called life..life with all ups and downs...

6.For the past three years i am away from my home.....I feel really homesick...I miss my amma's delicious delicacies...I miss my appa's care...I miss my fights with bro.....I wish i get out from the hostel life and be with my parents..waiting for the day...dont know when....

7.My mobile is loaded with lots of karnatic music....I am so much in love with "Yenna kavi paadinalum" sung by aruna sairam..."Kanda naal mudhalai" is my ring tone and i am totally addicted to this song....Music is definitely a bliss dont they?

8.Aww onion related dishes are completely prohibited at home...Just for this month alone...Amma sayd this month is Maalayabaksham,so she never prepares my favourite vengaya vathakozhabu....hafta wait for the 15 days to get over soon....my mouth is already watering when i think of vengaya vathakozhambu :(


Thatz it from my garrulous mouth...Keep smiling...
