New Year and Resolutions!!

Yet another new year and what hits the mind on a new year is "Resolutions!" Am sure to most of us when we were young, new year always had resolutions, most of which were meant to be broken.

As many other things, now as adults, when we look back at it, it may seem kiddish and most of us would have grown out of that habbit.

But this new year, after so many years, i took a reverse gear and gave the concept a thought once again. But this time as a mom-trying to inculcate as much positive aspects of life to her son . Something that was silly to me for the past few years, now seemed a nice way to initiate good things; even if we stumble and fall, it is not going to harm. You never know, it may work too!!

So, i put in my best effort to make it a very interesting concept..yes!!Every new year starts with a resolution and as every year grows,....our imagination now sores up together and i dont have to finish it !!

Now we ponder where to start..?Well, there are so many!!!But a jealous mom puts the most important one first...I thought i would trigger his imaginations by developing a love for writing..first step towards expression of emotions and unfold yourself to you.  Now when i say to write on every other thing we see or learn, there is nothing more boring for a seven year old. My whole idea will be a flop on the new year.

The mom gets into action and here i am adevertising my blog and the FB wall to my son. All your comments and thoughts and likes to flatter the young mind. We jump together on this idea.."His own blog"!!!

I know he feels some trick behind all this hype, but he is exciting to give a try and here we go making a deal.."He WRITES down whatever he feel and i type it on his blog- any music, sloka recitation or whatever he learns or likes will be published in his blog and we sit and share the comments together. "
Condtions apply- He is not replacing his writing in paper by typing directly on the system .

And here i go, creating his own blog and publishing his first post and i am sure he is excited as he gets up tomorrow morning.

My day

There can be many special occasions in our life and for some of us every day can be a celebration.
 But, to me Birthdays are always xtra special. Well, most of you will agree to this and as every year passes, we have many reminiscence  to cherish this day all through the year.

To me, every time i try to recollect my best birthday experience, i get reminded of the demise of the former TN CM,MGR. I was in 5th standard and my dad had promised me a trip to Mahabalipuram on that birthday. I have been eagerly waiting for it. I got a beautiful yellow chudidar which i even now vividly remember. I dont remember the reason why he had promised everything wonderful that year although he had made every year special to me. 

We were all set to the bus stop when someone said that no buses would run that day as MGR had passed away. So what? How does that make sense to a nine year old and how can she  tackle the disappointment of cancelling the trip she had planned so meticulously for months?My dad tried to convince me that he would take me after 2 days. But what about my birthday? I was all in tears. If it was just a promise then i could have taken it in a better way. But it was a birthday promise..and that to me was a big day. I remember my foolish, kiddish agruement saying "I want to go...So what if MGR died?  He is already dead..Why should i not celebrate my birthday??", cursing him if he never got a better date.The day passed with my dad's patience in handling me and then we went on the 27th. It was fun and we had a souvenir of the beach shell marking this day on it. I still have it with me.

There are so many other birthdays of mine that he had made very special  with surprises and happiness. May be because of this, i always felt birthdays very special. Although i grow old every year, i expect every birthday the same as he had made it to me. 

And also, i like to make my dear ones feel exactly the same on their day. Some may call it kiddish and surprises and parties are only when we are young but i bet everyone can feel the joy when someone makes you feel special on this day. 

Now i realise my dad did this to feel special about myself. He wanted me to feel the most important  and also taught me to love myself. Surprises and gifts are expressions of affection and care and not something flamboyant. And the best gift i would give my dad is to pass it on to my children. Yes, Navneeth is all excited making a birthday card for me and surprising me every little way he can. And now he is already all set for his birthday plans. There is no greater joy in making your loved ones feel that their presence in your life is the best gift, worth a great celebration.

Your sms list, phone calls, emails or gifts on your birthdays may reduce but that must never pull you down from celebrating your day. You are always special to yourself and this is what makes you young as you grow older.


This year was extra special with me making my own birthday cake with a note "Happy Birthday Amma"'. The explanation by Navneeth for this goes like this ''I cant buy a cake as i am still young and i dont know to make a cake, so on my behalf you make a vanilla cake until i grow big"'!!!!

Thank you dear...:)

Snowwhite



  You are so white like the angel ,
  Who just stepped out of the heaven,
 Kindling the romance from within.
.
 You are so white that you coin
 The peace behind any disturbed mind.

 You are the icon for love at first sight…

 Like everything else,
When the freshness fade
You get hard and make everyone fall
Yet another paradigm of the heavenly creation!!!
