Inspired with Keshi’s and Preethi’s post,I got smitten to write this post and finally manage to post the same.
Dearest Amma,
It happened so fast and I reached my heavenly abode safe, still my memories never fade and there I go with a letter to you.
I am dead sure …You people are missing me a big time. The predominant pester at home is missing. Who will pester you the same way I did? No doubt I alone can hold the place. How much I scared for pitch hard and hold you tight while sleeping…now the place next to you would be void……..I never hid ya anything and always pestered you to the core. Amma remember you were the one to pamper me a lot from choosing a dress to selecting the bestest of best things …
The sulk , the mulishness which I showed to ya will never fade ma…You were the one to accept all my tantrums and still hug and smile at me…You were the one who shouldered me when I cried..You were the one who felt elated when I shared a gleeful news…You were the one to whom I shared everything.. you were the one to advise…You were the one who boosted…I can go no and no..but alas I will miss every thing…
How much I hated to wear bangles…Ma ya know my hatred towards bangles..But you accepted me and never ever compelled…You were the one who openly pointed my mistakes and appreciated my good work…Ahhh I will miss your sumptuous food…The fight with bro and my adamancy which I showed to appa….To whom will I speak non-stop which I did only to ya??To whom will I speak about cricket and ganguly ??To whom will I share when other’s hurt me??To whom will I show my remorse feelings??To whom will I cry, when I feel so??....To whom will I throw my barbs, when I feel tensed????I feel topsy turvy and I will miss ya all to the core
Ask brother to allocate a share of chocolates and ice creams for me whenever he tries it…My craziness towards desserts and ice creams will never end though I am dead…..I will not be able to taste it but will feel elated for the deed…..I am feeling sleepy though I am dead..Still I am proud to be a sleepomaniac…..Glad that I met my life(paati) here….fought with her for leaving us so early to reach the heavenly adobe…Now am her sole companion…Amma my eyes are starving for sleep…Will buzz ya now and then ..Take care ma…
Only Yours,
Gowra

Stilettos aur confidence
It was my kind hearted relative ,to throw a question at me..Let KKR be the relative
KKR: Whatz ur height
ME: 5....
KKR: ehh???You are short then..
ME: Think so...A dwarf you say!!!(Wondering y people are bothered about height, height me khya hai..bhol.??!!)
KKR: You don't have to worry...You have heels na?
ME: (Never ever in ma life ,i worried for my height)..heels..haan....
KKR: It's a perfect solution...try na...
ME: (with a smirk)....Sure thing...
Let me not deviate from the topic..Where was i??oh yeah the heels...I am so proud to be a gal(reason you have lotsa varieties when it comes to dress and sandals)..Dress varieties kho chodkar,let us take the varieties of gal's foot wear...Stilettos ,wedges ,flat s, pumps ,party wear ,causal wear god the list will never end...
I always go awestruck when i see someone walking with stilettos or with high heel sandals...It itself is an art i say.
It was during my 11th grade ,my sister got me a high heeled sandal....Firstly i was dumbstruck by the sandal..Secondly i did not have the confidence to walk with that slim, sleek, slender and mainly the high heel sandal .I protested She resisted..I argued She convinced..I said no, she said yes...All fights for sandals…LOL….It was She who took the pains to console me to wear the sandals..All set and done..I agreed ...We planned to go out and She accompanied me...I have a slippery feet ,no wonder about it and to add fire to it, there i was with my high heeled sandals..I felt uncomfortable..For every single step,i slipped...again i slipped and once again i slipped...My sis could not bear the brunt and was kind enough to get me an another flat sandals...Cho chweet she is...and there I was benchmarked to wear flats….flats and only flats…..
So even today i say no to heels...But my dear friends prefer pumps ,wedges blah blah...At one point i asked my friend about it.
Me:Hey do you feel comfortable, when you wear a wedge sort of sandal..
M:Yes,I am very much
ME:Khya hein yar...It's a big trouble for me .
M:Arrey..I feel so comfortable when i wear a wedge or high heeled footwear..It gives me an extra confidence
ME: What confidence from sandals? Don’t play na….
But that was the fact .I hear people saying they feel comfortable when they wear stilettos ,wedges etc.
Alas my mind always creates a deep impression about something and i feel flats suits be better than any thing .But gals i still look with great glee when you people walk perfectly with Stilettos..Gals rock!!!I understand it gives us an extra confidence though have never experienced it….
Whatever the source it may ,if you gain confidence to shatter obstacles ,then rock on…….The source of confidence may come either by wearing stilettos too(M you reading???,i am dead meat then)……

A day to cherish
It was an unsual day...With absolute pitch dark even by morning 6am..Had a deep slumber and got out from the bed by 8am only to realize we(meenu,my bro and me) planned to visit temples in trichy...
It was a sunday...No complains about sleep...Yelled at amma for not waking us by 5am(a herculean task though)...Completed our chores and had Dosai filter coffee combo for bfast. Varuna bhagvan was so kind not to shed even a drop of water from the sky.
The first temple we visited was Thiruvanaikovil..Jambhukeshvarar..I still wonder about the water that flows near the God..Also saw goddess akilandeshwari and had nice dharshan.
Samayapuram and srirangam were the two places we planned to visit. Due to time constraint we visited srirangam.Had a great dharsham. Not to forget the prasadam especially Chakara pongal.Give 6 bucks and taste the divine ambrosia err prasadam.
It was around 1pm..we were starving for lunch.Found a hotel and had our share of lunch,juice et al.
The last temple we visited was rock forte.Climbed the stairs to visit god vinayak(Ahem let me hide the fact that I was puffing and panting while climbing the stairs)Not to forget about the great action too!!!It was meena who prayed to offer Coconut to vinayak.Sai took the deed of offering it...He climbed the rock, the rock was slippery and suddenly he slipped..being a veera theera mangai, i climbed the rock to rescue him, but err my slippery feet made me to slip and i rolled only to reach the land.(rock to land great transition indeed!!!)A kind hearted lady did hold,me and helped me...Lol..err let’s forget the great action…and the slippery part ok…With pathetic face i got back to my normal form...That was a great action indeed!!!
Hogged ice creams and juices..Suthified a lot in the roads of trichy….Took too many snaps…..Phew...It was time for us to get back to our home..But the memories will remain green forever. Ahh went to a book shop and skimmed through latest books but managed to get Digital Fortress by my fav writer Dan brown.yay I have never read Digital Fortress. Started…. first 50pages were so gripping….you shall expect a review on it soon..Ciao for now….

Perfect medicine for fever....
Every time meenu,my dear pal comes from bangalore,we will definitely meet and have a good time...Whatever the condition it may(read fever) i will make my presence to meet her....
My sweet pal is very punctual...When we want to meet by 10am,i would ask her to come by 9.30am,so that atleast she reaches the destination by 10.15am..You got the drift about her punctuality right??(meenu u reading!!!,hope you will not kill me,by this time u should be diligently working :P)...
And finally yesterday she arrived and we went to our favourite Anjaneyar kovil...Had excellent darshan....Sat in the praharam for some 30 minutes..It is a real bliss to sit and hear those devotional music...By the time we went,there was no prasadam :(....chal....
After that We went to a restaurant and had our share of lunch and decided to march to an ice cream parlour....First we ordered Orange Sprinkler and chocolate sprinkler....It was so yummyyyyy.....our mouth started to drool,so we felt of ordering milk shake....I choose Sprinkler,so i asked meenu to choose milk shake varieties...She ordered Strawberry shake and Black current Shake(The latter was quite new for me) and my genius pal said it should be dry grapes shake...I shook my head to taste the shake and was waiting to taste the new variety.....
Black current shake looked in a different color and i managed to sip only to find it is a replica of the cough syrup Benadryl....lol....I witnessed same reaction in meenu's face,so when i tasted her Strawberry Shake i felt it was a replica of corex syrup..lol....lol.......We saw each other's face and finally managed to gulp it slowly(and god how much we struggled to gulp it :( ....
I was suffering from fever and i had an icecream and a milk shake with icecream embellished on it...I thought i should book a bed in hospital....But what a miracle,my fever was gone...
Meenu called me to confirm whether i am alive or dead...With all glee i attended the call and said my fever was gone..She was flabbergasted...and the final gyan,plz dont experiement black current or white current anytime!!!..phew...

3.I care too much for my relatives and friends...They dont even find time to enquire me but still i try to be in touch with them ..One of my friend said "Y should you care for someone when they dont reciprocate you"..The only thing i can say is "Thatz my nature".....
4.These days i visit temple regularly and everytime i visit i manage to get prasadam..The venpongal,chakarapongal ahaa sounds slurpy...not to forget about the puliyodharai it is soooooo yummmyyyyyyyyyyy........

Diwali
Festivals always brings glee and prosperity to all.It is festive time roads,shopping malls,sweet shops are flooded with people.
Diwali(Festival of lights) is nearing and we always plan for a last minute shopping,i mean we always go for shopping only at the last moment,probably a week before.Last saturday was one such day for our shopping.
I dont like shopping..err i am indeed a gal and i dont have much interest when it comes to shopping..Looks weird isn't it?I always outsource my shopping work to my momma.Even today momma selects dress for me.
Textile showrooms are completely crammed with people.The first challenging task is to enter the shop and the second one is to find a comfortable place atleast for standing.
I entered a textile shop and the crowd helped me to move forward..They pushed me so hard and i automatically started to move..I dont have the patience to spend hours for selecting my dress.It took just 15 minutes to choose mine.Momma,dada and bro also took the same time for their purchase.But entering the shop itself is a great task...A serpentine queue and lotta people...god...
An important lesson never visit a restaurant during festive eves...It is also the second crowded place next to textile shop.And if you are bothering about the hygenic aspects never ever opt for a restaurant during festives.
I was puffing and panting and lost all my energy.That too shopping during the scorching sun is a real herculean task.Finally i am done with my purchase.
yay!!!!
I am already waiting to taste the sumptuous food,the delicious desserts and eager to wear my new dress.Childish habits die hard you see.
Wishing you all a very happy and prosperous diwali in advance.Have a rocking day!!!

Sweet Bro
I am totally addicted to writing and especially blogging.Whatever thing that flashes on my mind i weave it and post it here.
It was Sai(My bro) to ask me,why i am not writing anything involving me and him.Hey bro here i go with a post about us da.
If Sai says Sachin,i always say ganguly...If he says north i make sure to say south..We fight for anything and everything.Yes for even the most trivial things.Normal fights would be because of TV remote and computer.
There were days(long back not now),we fought like pakisthan and india.Amma acts as the peace maker to resolve our disputes.There were also days when amma prayed to god to give us good mind and pleaded us not to fight with each other.
As days progressed and rolled...Our fightings also stopped..We never found a chance to fight but always i preferred to say north when he said south..Even today we follow that.But now we dont fight a lot,he wholeheartedly offers me the remote or with a sulking face i drop the remote to him.
It was he,who made me a real aficionado(Though this name never suits me today).he is the one who taught me about gully,a maiden wicket,a duck worthlouie,no ball,dot ball,runout,slip anything and everything pertaining to cricket.Not only cricket we killed our time during our vacations by watching tennis,football,F1 Grand prix(Schumi miss u ) and what not...Will we forget the 2003 worldcup or the Trination series...Those nights when we used to get scoldings from appa for the mere sake of cricket and watch a day night match till 4am(we dont even leave presentation section) and hit the sack by 5am.
i fondly call him as jeju ...Dont ask me the meaning,even i dont know...He is a close pal.though he is younger than me by 7 years still he proves matured in many actions.He is a brillaint and cool guy who never bothers for anything..A go lucky person.I always admire his knowledge.He understands the concepts behind every physical law and there were days when i asked him to explain me many of the concepts.
When i hear of maths i run miles aways,here is my bro who calculates anything and everything in mind...has got lotta affinity towards maths...A great person who convinces me whenever i go out of this world and shout at him.He very well know about my strengths and weakness and points me whenever i go wrong.
It is he from whom i learnt a lot and started to mould my muddy brain.Hmm a bro to support me whenever i need his help.He also motivates me a lot and boost me to push myself beyond my limits.
PS:Porumada sai,onnapathi naa yezhuditen...
