THE POEM CALLED LIFE

Am so excited my friend S had her baby yesterday. :):):):):) A normal delivery. A beautiful gal.A bitta blood loss. But hey look at what u gained.Yet another Bundle of Joy. After 9 whole months of listening to what the world has to say to a expecting mother you have a soul that will listen to u :)(only till the age of 16 in our times...but now I guess kids have their own mind right from 2) While S was at hospital Achu,M and I were at the same hospital waiting to meet our doc for Achu's 5 yr vaccine!!! I didn't know she was in the labour ward. Maybe God Wanted me to be there at the same place she was....wish I knew she was there...wish I called....Anyways it's a nice feeling to know I was that close...it truly is....:) Anyways S, A and lil Nandu congratulations and tight hugs... PS. God Bless :)

Yesterday we met ...it was quick, unplanned and far from being satisfying. What I call a satisfying meet is the meet we had months ago . This one is just a fill up. The main reason behind it was because P , A and I had our heads tonsured and we wanted to personally see how we looked....individually and together. U had come as well to judge how we looked :) I had my mottai first then came P then A. But on analysing we found A's hair had grown faster than the two of us. Next it was about the greys.I had the least ...yipeeee and then there was P and A had the most. My hair is curly so even the little grey I have didn't show. While the other two had straight hair and the greys popped out here and there. Then it was the weight gain. A told me I had reduced considerably. While P refused to accept the fact( yeah! the fact ). After which it was my hands which seemed darker than the rest of my body. It seems my hands look like that of an old lady ( no this is NOT a fact). I thoug...

...for Life to turn topsy turvy :( June brought in too much of news. And today am not the same person I was one month ago. Life isn't complete and peaceful as it used to be. My dear father had a surgery and is still recovering. It pains to see, the strong man who held my hand when I took my first steps,all frail and tired. God is my only way. And I surrender..... PS.In life's hardships you learn and mature....but I would have preferred to have matured in a happier way....maybe I took life too easy...maybe am the one who faltered....sigh.

...things just go blank. I am in one of those phases where I stand totally helpless I hate where I am now. God my only Refuge...... God please get things back to being normal...please.

This month.... My SIL's Inlaws celebrated their 50th anniversary...we had great fun at the party. My Inlaws celebrated their 43rd anniversary...it was a family get together at a hotel for lunch. My Parents celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary this sunday.... I did have plans to give them a good relaxing holiday but God had other plans..... My Acha fell ill this Monday and is advised bed rest for the next 15 days :( So this is what I did I rented out a few DVD's of good Malayalam movies and took it home yesterday ...told them it was meant to be a surprise but thought of checking the DVD player which was dormant all its life and just as I thought the player had picture but no color or sound....So today I went to a service center and fixed it.Now they can start celebrating 2 days in advance :) And we have earthquakes happening off and on in our seventh year of togetherness....M and I have a very very long way to go......God you have a lot of homework to do :) ...

Can a woman...yes I said A woman get up from her office seat, walk down the stairs, cross the road, to the bunk kadai (the small tea stall) and drink a cuppa tea with a biscuit without being stared at?????????? No. I didn't try....and I don't have the guts to...but love to do that. Maybe at a restaurant or a cafe it would be fine ...now that's a slight relief ...since 10 years ago even that wouldn't  go unnoticed..... PS. The pains of being a South Indian Woman?
