My Tiny Garden

This is my small garden in my house . The pirandai chedi has touched the ceiling. I am yet to learn or explore some pirandai recipes. Marudhani/ mehandi has become a small tree . Kanakambaram has so many seeds which has to be moved to another pot . Jasmine’s are blooming . My rubber plant has grown very shiny . The money plant is flowing like anything . This money plant is my lucky plant I would say . The chembarathi/ hibiscus is doing well . Likewise the table rose , indoor plants etc … isn’t this a happy picture . 

I am posting some pictures here for you to see .

 How many of you think big houses doesn’t have a life in it . I strongly believe in this . I have been in big houses as well as small houses . 

After my wedding I moved to my husband house which is only 700 sq feet . But that house has real life . Our house is very small infact the smallest in the family . But most of the people come to our house only . To be honest we don’t even have space to accommodate a couple if they come home but still we give them the  main room and we sleep in the hall . We have a small little balcony with nearly 35 plants . A small Pooja room and a kitchen . This house was bought by my father in law nearly 30 years ago . 

Another example is Dhanalakshmi stores at trichy . This was my grandpa then uncle ( Peripa )  house where we used to go for vacation. I think he was paying 600 rupees rent per month . It has one room and a kitchen that’s all . Toilets were public but neat . We sleep in the terrace looking at the sky . Let me tell you that simple happiness still sticks to my mind . Today their kids live in the USA and they have got many houses and cars and they shift to a bigger house . I feel the love is missing when I go to that house . I always loved that tiny store house . Today there is a car , ac to sleep and lot of space but I loved the old house . 

In my family most of them have big houses but I don’t see anybody visiting their home or even eating a lunch or dinner together .  People live inside the same house but in their own rooms . They have attached bathroom , tv , and washing machine inside the room itself . So basically they come eat and then go into the rooms . I think my house doesn’t have space but we welcome and be happy with people . The door is always open for people with love and food . 

Today as me and Naveen are getting old we have decided ONE thing . We are ok to have a big garden or a backyard but the house has to be small . It’s not that we cannot built the biggest house . We can , but we won’t . I want my child to live happy where she gets to see , spend time with whoever comes to our house . Having a small / medium size house encourages to have a discussion in the hall , eat together , use the same gas , television and washing machine . I will never give a separate room to my daughter . She has to live within the house . Even if people think it’s old school that’s fine . These days I see a lot who are just in their room and their own thoughts . They don’t even smile . This is so sick ! 

What are your thoughts on this . Do you think tiny house makes sense ? 

These girls

 Hi ! 

How many of you believe that every family and their rituals are different . I have been married since last 11 years . When I got married I never knew to wear a saree , to cook or any such things , but I knew I must learn all these because I was brought up that way . If there is anything new I always learn . When I get it done and people say wow you did a good job I feel great . That feeling is priceless . Now , I am not doing for the appreciation alone . I like to learn and do things and the end results will always be great . Not only with regards to a married life . I was always like that in my younger days . I am still a student and i get fascinated and exited about most of the things around me . 

Many at times it has been a great plus because my friends call me when they get upset . This mindset has helped in most of the difficult times in life . People say that I have so much of will power , creativity , looking forward to life and so many but I am also an extremely short tempered person and I am working on it. But I have never done harm to anyone with my temper . I normally get out of the house . 

Now , I think girls these days are so lazy . Especially when they get married they are not ready to learn what the other side families has in basket . This is not in my family alone . I see this in 95 percent of girls . They just want to work make money and be idle at home . I think these type of girls should never get married . I wonder the future of their kids . I don’t know why these girls are not ready to anything . How can someone not be ready to learn a new thing or do in their own way in a simple way .People think going for work and making money is great thing than the house . If the house is gone everything is gone . The mother has to know to keep the family well .So everything starts from the mothers . 

So let me know have you seen girls like this ? Are there any in your family or surroundings ? What are your thoughts about these girls . 

I know I am a girl but I don’t like these type of behaviours . I strongly believe that we have to understand and learn families and stay happy too .
