My Memories of Childhood Navarathri

Navarathri is a 10 day festival celebrated in India.This celebration is meant for ladies and girls basically. The number of steps to be set up is 3 ,5 ,7, 9 or 11 and these steps are filled with clay dolls. It's the perfect time to dress up and visit friends and family .  My memories of navarathri will be this way . In our house my mother normally keeps a small golu.But there are few houses in our village who keep 9 and 11 steps . Myself ,my brother and my sister used to go to everybody's house for the bakshanam . All the 10 days sundal( snack) is what we eat for dinner and sleep .  'Bommakol bakshanam mamiya patha lakshanam'  is our funny way of asking bakshanam . Crazy isn't it ?But when we think of it now it's beautiful.  I wish my daughter also enjoyed these type of times in life .  These days,I see many keeping theme based golu,handmade dolls golu and paper mache dolls golu .I am not a bug fan of these ones . I like the clay dolls traditional golu though fe...

Post your thought

Hope you all are doing well . Just thought of writing a different blog today . What are you thinking these days ? What are your future thoughts and how is it all going ?  I am currently visiting countries through phone calls with naveen ...lol  I call naveen and we talk about some place and it feels as if we have already gone so naveen is taking me on vacations during corona .Imagination is very important in life you know ;)Just kidding . So Diwali and Navarathri is coming up . I really wish to be in india during Diwali .More than me Naveen is missing diwali and I miss the streets of mylapore before navarathri . So these are the things in my mind . Hope we all get out of these situations and re unite and have happy times ahead .  But this new year I am planning to stand of the road at 12 just looking at the sky . Like I am out of 4 walls da feeling :)  Happiness is free .Have to find the right one .So this is my idea .  Ok people so post in your thoughts here .

8 years with Shilpa

 Hi , I am Shilpa's Adidas Shoe ! I am black in colour with some pink blush on my cheeks .I have travelled with Shilpa for 8 long years and I have had a beautiful journey . She has run with me for miles and miles at Dubai and India when she had high insulin for 3 years . I love shilpa so much . She has taken me to Georgia and Armenia .We have gone a lot of funny night walks and she is forever my lovable friend . I have shared 8 years of my life with her  Naveen ! Her husband came into our life and spoiled our friendship and good times .  Though he thought to impress my friend by washing her shoes and making her day he put me inside the washing machine and took my life. I wish he dint do that and I had more good times with shilpa . I wish shilpa finds another beautiful shoe like me and that pair stays with her forever  Miss you Shilpa♡ With love, Your Shoe

Our Coronam and Brother wedding

Image
Normally Onam is a much celebrated festival in our house . This time it was an emotional one because on the same day it was my own brother's wedding and I couldnt attend . We had to see it in live but ,until and unless he is happy we are happy .That's all matters .I will be fine soon as days pass by . This situation and people dint favour me . This year our Onam was very simple. We dint sleep properly for 2 days as we had to stay live and see all the rituals going on and in between of all these myself and Naveen with tungli managed to go to the flower shop and buy some flowers . A simple CORONAM and a special flower kolam for the newly wedded.Finding happiness in between of the mess of emotions.Though I did not attend i did my own make up with some gold jewellery which I had here and i wore a new saree .I had to look well on the live call hence .  So I made a small sadhya ( lunch with few special kerela dishes) and we had a good day all together . Kind of mixed feelings day . P...

Why I stopped chasing Money

I belong to a family that had an addiction .That's why I say behind every addiction there is a generation that suffers . Now let's enter into the topic . I have seen enough of money in my life and I have seen my father changing cars every month and to my knowledge I had the most luxurious life that any child would ask for . Yes it was a golden spoon thing .  But it doesnt take much to loose everything in your life . Anytime this can happen to anyone . Everything you see around is uncertain .The money,the cars,the house,the job,the family,the relatives ,friends what not . You never know when all these stops favouring you . One such day every favours of a Rich life was stopped.  Then how I reached this place today is a history . I dont think I can make it in a blog . But let me be honest I have all the above mention today .Infact god blessed me with a man who has some qualities of my father . I am so grateful for that .  What did I learn ?  I dont plan anything based o...
