Wo(a)ndering thoughts!!!

The news that’s really  bothering me last few days is about a girl who was murdered at a busy railway station in Chennai. PC: http://www.orderofthegooddeath.com/murder-ballads-the-poor-poor-knoxville-girl Swathi is just another IT girl in Chennai started her day without knowing how it’s going to end within hours. She was murdered in broad day light with at least 10 to 50 bystanders who are scared to even call the police. What had actually happened, no one knows until police finds the murderer. But the creative stories floating around in the media/people which is really disheartening.. Why are these people not talking much about the guy and his behavior … whatever the situation maybe, what right he has to kill a girl brutally? It’s just because he was upset... Oh Yea... Actually, that girl’s life is nothing compared to that man’s anger...That girl would've went through so much in her last moments.. that is not enough now, she had to put up with people's judgmental...

Little A become a big boy going on trips without mum.. he had his first trip without me last month to Gold Coast with G. They spent mostly in Dream world, I was really worried how he would react after going there. But then he took it really well.. Trick is we never give him surprise. He usually knows what’s coming and we keep talking positive things about the event at least a week prior to that. G took printout of dream world map and start to plan what to see/do with A everyday for a week..  Initially he wasn’t happy about the trip without me.. But slowly day by day he started to feel comfortable about his trip to see all his favourite characters and fun things he would do with G. And 2 days before his trip, he was completely ready and when I asked him whether he would miss me on his trip..His response was “Don’t worry mom. I will do face-time.. “ I was so proud of his matured response and felt so relieved to hear that instead of whining and dramas which would’ve made ...

I have written so much about mum, never talked about my dad.. Like every girl's dad ,he is protective, worried  and bold enough to send me to do masters in a far away land while my friends were getting married those days(all thanks to my brother who convinced him).. But I can never thank him enough for that big step. It changed my life forever. It opened up my perspective to everything. He is fascinated with Cars and its mechanics, he used to always talk about it...still does.. He loves to drive, never trust anyone with his car. Back of my head I can still hear him giving me instructions while I drive now..G says sometimes I act like my dad when G drives ..giving him instructions,,haha.. I've noticed  my sister does it too :) its in the Gene I guess.. PC:http://www.theboredmind.com/entertainment/heart-touching-father-daughter-relationship-born-princess-will-remain-one/ I cant believe how he is so broad minded considering he grew up in a small village and not ...

This is about the big numbers like 60 & 70’s and during my grandmas time I don’t remember celebrating her b’days ..Well technically, in olden days with dozen kids at home.. No one remembered their bdays!!..  Except for the big 0’s.  When the head (man) of the family turns 60, 70, 80, 90,100 yrs, it is celebrated in a big way.. Most of it has deeper meaning.. 60 is the first mile stone by which head of the family (man) would theoretically completed his materialistic duties (like job, marriage, raising kids)  and start his   spiritual duties. To celebrate the accomplished materialistic duties, we call Sasti poorthi. This is to be celebrated with the whole family (wife, children and their spouses if they are married) and a small traditional ceremony is performed. Traditional Ceremony includes Puja (Offerings to God thanking for everything) and the couple (Head man and his spouse) get their wedding re-enacted. It is such a pleasure for us (children) to w...

Growing old.. Not sure how counting our life by days has any purpose.. I really feel age/number doesn’t make the person old.. I cant imagine some of my close buddies when they say the number I cant/don’t want to accept it.. I really feel their age just froze in my mind as who they were when I saw them first because they never changed..they are the same fun-to-be/always-be-there-for-me person like I always known them..  Again the number doesn’t count as one to be old. Coz I know some really old people(of any age) who doesn’t have any motivation to stay young and some kids (like me!! Duh!!!) act like one all the time. You shouldn’t stop yourself doing something just because your number is big.. I read somewhere You get old when you stop having fun. Why do we need to restrict ourselves just coz of some number..No one is stopping us, maybe people around criticize but they always do.. why bother.. http://www.parkandcity.com/quotes/you-dont-stop-having-fun-because Mean...

Have u read “The Turtle & The Rabbit” story when you were little.. I have heard it many a times.. In case, you haven’t heard/read this story, this is how the story goes.. Deep in the jungle, there lived a Rabbit R, he hops very fast like any other rabbit.. One day he decided to test his hopping speed by having a race with someone who does everything slow aka Turtle T.. R and T starts the race.. R hops so fast and decided to tease turtle by just waiting close to finish line ..                                                                       PC: www.essayforkids.com And the waiting was so long, R snooze off. Meanwhile T walks slowly maybe took half a day to walk close to the finish line.. When T is just, just 2 steps away to finish line, R wakes up.. R starts to hop and T takes another s...

World for a child seems so small when they are little like A, people in their world are just family and friends or the people they see often and their toys... Sometimes even their favorite cartoon characters will become part of the family.. A presumes, every night his favorite characters from Lion king ( Simba, Nala , Timon & Pumba) visits his room and play with his toys.. He even blames Simba for the mess he makes in his room..                pc:https://ohmy.disney.com/movies/2016/01/13/9-signs-youre-a-diehard-lion-king-fan/ But everything matters in their tiny kingdom. Even the tiniest thing they own and even the waste paper from the paper punch (don’t get me start on this!!)  .. Everything matters and it is important.. What I notice is their thinking is very simple.. I feel as an adults we complicate everything and that makes even a simple solution infront of us seems impossible. PC: Google images ...
