Of all the ho-hum works in life, One among the top-10 is moving...Its really boring to pack everything into boxes, unpack again, settle down...Of course, lesser the luggage,lesser the work..But athu ennaikku nammakku theriya poguthu...vangum pothu naalla thaaan irukkku!!!Even during my school days, as my father worked in bank, we used to move once in every 5 years...My parents did the whole job, I used to be just excited that we are moving to new home...Next when I moved to college, my whole family packed for me...right from bucket to slippers, they got it, packed it..And every year in 4 years, we need to shift rooms and so we need to pack our items...But its all sweat free work...But now, its the first time, I am going to do it...To start with, I have packed our clothes...Anyhow Saturday is the D-day...And No internet access from tomorrow until next Tuesday...So no updates until then...On a different note, One of my friends is getting married and I am going to miss the fun too...Congratulation buddies!! One more wicket down in our group!!
For the first time I have been tagged....by hastobeme.... So here it goes from a sincere student....
Name 10 of life's simple pleasures that you like the most and then pick 10 people to do thesame (optional). Try to be original and creative and no to use the things someone else has already used.Here they go.......
1. Whenver I am appreciated by people, for small things that I notice and do for them .
2. Whenver I eat dairy milk (especially when I am depressed).
3.Get a reply for my mail from friends...especially from friends who check mails once in blue moon
4. When somebody tells I have reduced my weight ...(It happens only once in a while :))
5. Switch On the TV when there is a favourite movie/song of mine is being telecasted..(which I did not know earlier)
6. Whenver I did projects for my sis, it made me happy...After completing the project , I would be like a godmother for her..I still remember the day I did biology projects for her..:)
7. To wipe the dust..I jus like it when it gets wiped out....8. See a girl driving a hummer/SUV...9 . Whenever I get a coffee in morning...I jus don't like to make coffee for myself immediately after getting out of my bed...so Weekends, Its always my husband's turn to make coffee.10. Have bajji/samosa and hot indian coffee while its raining outside.I am not picking up 10 persons..Whoever feels like, please feel free to write..I would write the second tag soon...
Saw this buddy on my way to office!!! Clicked him :)
On the first day when I met my manager,M: Did somebody hit you on your head?Me:(had a blank face, didn't know what he meant)....hmmm....what?M: You have something red on your forehead....I thought ur team mates hit you on ur first day? ....Me: ?!!?!!!By the way he meant the kumkum in my forehead.....These people do have nice sense of humor, but Gosh, I donno how to react to these statements.....
P.S. On a different topic, My posts have crossed 50...test batsman mathiri ninnu ninnu runs eduthutu irukken :)
With Tamil new year coming up, I have been thinking of resolutions to follow..Ok here it goes...Try to be an early riser...As I have said earlier, I am a night bird, This is a habit I am trying to inculcate in me since long time, but again I would add it to my list Try to be more organized...Though I try to finish things at time, I don't do it in an orderly way...One of my friends has been a source of inspiration to me for being more organized..He is an epitome of perfection!!!Help CRY...Actively participate rather than donate...I have been reading about CRY recently a lot and I would like to be a part of it!!!Try to write my expenses in a notebook or probably in excel!!!!...I have not maintained an expenses account at all, but I feel I need to start it sooner....
Possibily try to grow few indoor plants!!
Would give up chocolates(I know I am not eating a lot nowadays but still)....this is surely on my to-do list always
Would try to be more patient and to nag less!!!(One of my worst qualities)
Though the list is quite lengthy, I am going to follow it ...
"Early to bed and early to risemakes Jack healthy, wealthy & wise"This is what my father used to say in the mornings when I refused to get up from the bed.I always like to work/study at nights.I can stay awake until 3 am, but If I need to get up at 3 am , its the most irritating activity for me.Though I love the slight chillinesss of mornings , I love the morning sleep more..kaalaiyil poorvaikkuL thungkuRa sugam irukkee...koodi koduththaalum kidaikkaathu...
I used to be always a night owl during school and college...study when everybody is sleeping. The deep silence of night is also wonderful time to study, but my father used to say the productivity is more during early hours, U can study fast.I used to set alarms at night like the father's girl, Goddamn I hate them when they scream ,breaking the silence of mornings.I used to hit the snooze button hard and me back to my sleep.This would continue the next day also...Old habits die hard, isnt it ...thats the exact justification I used to give!!!Are u all early riser or night bird?
My days in this house will come to an end in few more weeks or so...By end of April/May I would be moving to new house...Its a good bye to the beautiful garden apartments,its a good bye to the old couple who stays near my house,its a good bye to carefree lifestyle !!!..So as everything is coming on the way, I or rather Param should make arrangements now to disconnect and pay final bills for electricity, cable ,phone and arrange for connections on the other hand. On the other hand, after 6 months break(these 6 months have been quite positive for me though boring at times, I have learnt few things like cooking, housekeeping..donno if I would have shown the same interest to learn, had I not taken a break), I am going to join the new job, new place, new faces and I am quite anxious about how things are going to shape...
Time has really really flown in the last one year...Its exactly 1 whole year since I and Param met...Last year, same day I met him for the first time. Ours was a typical arranged marriage and he came to "see" me :-D. Now he has to see me everyday whether he wants to or not :-D. He answered all the questions from my relatives and I was sitting next to my father, quite in a blank mood, Everything went on well and He said Yes..My father asked me if I was OK with the proposal, but I was stumped, I didn't know whether to say Yes or No..Something inside my heart said Yes and I said Yes...(though i really did not know what I wanted at that time) ...And then we started a relationship which is getting better by days...

I was just wondering about few nameless relationships we do have around us.
The doctors we meet, whom we don't know in person,still we trust them.Few others to mention were the cashier at grocery stores, the tailor of ours, the newspaper boy who starts our morning, the security officer at office.
These relations do not have any names , they play a small part in our life, yet they are around us in our day to day life. More courteousness would be making our life more complete, isn't it?
Flashback to few years ago, this was the time I started living by myself...Those were my pleasant hostel days. I always have a very special softcorner for those days.
It happened during my second year study holidays. Most of the hostel rooms were empty, but we were at hostels to study (nambungapppa). We were at second floor. After a great (?!!?) dinner at mess, when we started studying, Our friends at third floor dropped a lit-candle from their windows. They were in the idea of terrifying us by showing us a flame in dark. But Oops we saw the thread tied to the candle....We tried to catch the candle, but we could not.After sometime, when they did not hear any noises from our floor, they were bit upset and so they took it up.We were quiet and so were they. After sometime, a friend from third floor came to our room to jus check us. She was expecting us to be in panic and discuss with her. On the contrary we were very calm. She could not resist us being silent. She said "Oh gals, Please bayapadungappa..naanga evalavu try pannom "We all burst into laughterMore memories to cherish and more stories to share...
Would write it whenever I have blogger block!!!
I haven't done this for past few months.....I haven't been so excited lately....I haven't been so careful like this...I haven't been behind the wheels recently..I haven't done U-turns and Left turns of late.Yeah that's right.....I am attending driving classes and started (just started) driving.

Personally, I don't like to celebrate this day.I feel the hype ppl are creating nowadays is tooo much....I feel everybody might have a special day to their heart on their own-the day they proposed, the day of marriage -Then why this day ???
This is not the only day to love ..If u love anybody, love them everyday....
I read the line below somewhere:
Love is the flower you've got to let grow."- John Lennon
So Let us allow it to grow in our hearts instead of ostentating it.
By the way, I am not an unloving creature , but I don't like the way the people are freaking out to display their love
Disclaimer: These are my opinions and not to hurt anybody who celebrate this day sincerly
After a long time, I have added one more to my "Few Dishes I have tried" :)
This weekend was a somberi weekend . As there was snow storm I did not go out any where..
I was jus thinking of trying to do biscuits in the oven, as my culinary skillls have improved a lot (konjam too much thaan)
And here is how I got it....
And It is a very quick recipe... Mix maida(1 cup), sugar(1 cup), butter(1/4 cup), pinch of baking soda and water into dough.Jus then do any shapes as u like and bake it in oven for about 15 minutes and the biscuits are ready...
What do u think about two names?
In my family, everybody was given a standard name (which would most probably be grandfathers/grandmothers names) and another nick name without any reason. As days go by, everybody will be so accustomed to the second nick name and called by their nick name. But when it comes to official purpose, they go by their standard names, even though its not always used.I feel the the child was given the standard name to please the elders of the family. The parents prefer the nick name as that name would be their choice. And so everybody have two names.Whenever I need to introduce myself,I was always confused whether I need to tell my standard name or my nick name.Two of my cousins did not get their standard names registered itself at school.But we others have still that confusion- whether to call ourselves by First standard name or Second Nick name. This is weird, isn't it?I prefer atleast the future kids in our family be given a single name!!
Do u have the same confusion in your family Or Is it unusual only with ours?
Of all the ho-hum works in life, One among the top-10 is moving...Its really boring to pack everything into boxes, unpack again, settle down...Of course, lesser the luggage,lesser the work..But athu ennaikku nammakku theriya poguthu...vangum pothu naalla thaaan irukkku!!!
