Wo(a)ndering thoughts!!!

We drove to Snow Mountains on the weekend and we were passing some beautiful country houses with huge farm and farm animals. I asked A whether he would get a country house for me?  He said Yes, two houses on the hills.. One for him and one for me next to each other. How sweet I thought. Then came the twist in his story.. He went on explaining how his house will look like.. He will have dogs in his house obviously, first he said 10 dogs.. I had to admit I’m very very very scared of dogs. He then changed his mind to have one dog for me(still sweet!!).. Dog house would be closer to the entrance gate but dog can walk around anywhere within the fence and inside his house.. Once we cross dog house, there will be snakes (that’s right!!) in these three bottles.. Hearing this, I said I’m not coming to your house .. He is not bothered at this point (cant be sweet all the time..right!!)and kept on explaining,.. he will have 3 baby crocs (Seriously!!!) and once you c...

Have you met a person who is a Vegetarian but hates vegetables…you might wonder that I’m not talking sense.. Say hello to me, I’m one of them.. Well, I used to be one of them. Growing up with Vegetarian parents, I didn’t have much choice than to eat veggies.. But I never enjoyed eating veggies growing up..  Worst part is I used to hate dairy (Milk/Yogurt) too.. Once I started to cook myself, I started to eat vegetables/diary.. Started to appreciate food even more.. But I must say Cooking is not my cup of tea..  I can cook to survive,cook the basics so I’m fuelling my family.. Never fancied staying in the kitchen for hours making something or fancied making dishes from master chef.. I’m guessing that’s because cooking sounds complicated. I was discussing this with my niece  and we came up with these cooking levels.. Thanks to Rakz who suggested the names for these levels to be a 4 course meal..

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...
