More about me...

Shobhana tagged me with one. So here I am, with more stuff about me.

The rules are:
1.Link to the person that tagged you, and post the rules on your blog.

2.Share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself.

3.Tag 7 random people at the end of your post, and include links to their blogs.

4.Let each person know that they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Seven quirks of mine are,

1. I cannot sleep with my bedroom door open or my feet uncovered. I HAVE to close it for me to be able to sleep and HAVE to cover my feet. There is no other go.

2. I hate having a full kitchen sink. I try to clean up the dishes ASAP. It feels like the whole house is dirty if there are unwashed dishes.

3. I am not very fond of jewellery. If I don't buy any more jewellery for myself for the rest of my life, I will be fine with it.

4. I am very punctual. I don't like making anybody wait for me.

5. I have long, strong nails. And I used to be very proud of them and take good care of them. Now, with all the household chores, they are pretty neglected. :(

6. I thoroughly enjoy cooking. It is my therapy for all my problems. I cook when I am happy, sad , angry, stressed.. you get the drift.

7. I am a multi tasker. At any given time you can find me doing 3 different things. I am always trying to think of ways to save time to do a particular task.

Now tagging seven more people boo, kodismom, dotmom. I think I will stop at three so that they can tag more. :)

six years of being together..

Six years of being together, growing together, learning together and the best of all fighting with each other. What fun and frolic these six years have been. Both of us as different as chalk and cheese when we started and slowly reaching a point where it is difficult to comprehend if chalk turned to cheese to chalk. He has definitely imparted some of his personality to me and I would like to think that he has learned something from me too.

Dinner and a movie it was for us....a traditional anniversary celebration..

To my man, who buys be plants instead of flowers, all I can say that

ek pyaar kaa nagmaa hai,
maujo kee rawaani hai
Zindagi aaur kuchh bhi nahi,
teri meri kahaani hain

HI there..

Well, I did vanish for a few day. All the people who have missed me and checked on me, a BIG Thank You from me. It has been a little busy at work, but inertia like mood set in on personal front. A zombie like routine of home and work and nothing else. Am back to being active now..

Fat tummies and Babies.......

Last week I could not go to see Sahithi's Soccer game. Her dad took her. They came back from the game and hubby dear told me that she was a little tired and the coach said that her energy level seems to be a little on lower side that day. Following conversation happened

Me : Bangaru, you did not have energy because you did not eat well. So you need to eat well.
Sahithi : Amma, I can't eat too much because I will get fat.

Me: *Absolutely shocked, telling myself I need to keep my cool* You will look very cute with chubby cheeks sweetheart.
Sahithi: But if I get fat my tummy will grow big. If my tummy grows big, I will have a baby and I am too small to have a baby. So, I have to stay thin. I can't get Fat amma.

Me:*Mouth hanging open, thinking of what to say*
Sahithi: *Continues her coloring*
Hubby Dear: * Laughing uncontrollably for the next few minutes*

On the hind sight, she figured out how babies happen. I am hoping that the birds and bees story can be put away for a long long loooong time.

Bling...Anyone...

Happy Halloween.... to all who are celebrating it.

This one is so much of a peer pressure on kids. Sahithi has been talking about Halloween from past one month and she had decided to become a princess. I tried talking her out of it but finally she talked me into it...what can I say, I am softie at heart. :):)

So here she is doing her trial run with the costume tonight

Do you think there is sufficient bling on her? :):)

I can't wait to see all the kids dressed up in their Halloween best. Especially the ones who are celebrating their first Halloween. Satya, Adya, Kutti Girl, Mieja, Dlittle. I know some of you don't post the pictures of the kids, but I am hoping that you will post a picture of the costume.

It Hurts...

I have not been in a proper frame of mind from a couple of weeks and I owe it to someone who I call my closest friend. For no apparent reason she chose to cutoff from me and it hurts, hurts real bad. she is based in India and so I can't even go visit her to sit and talk it out. After a million phone calls, that were ignored and a thousand emails that were never acknowledged, there is nothing else that I can do. All I wanted to know was if I did something to deserve this and she is not even giving me a chance to ask her.

She is the sweetest and one of the most loving person I know. She has always been there for me, through thick and thin and we could always be dependant on each other, no matter what. Well, I just pray that what ever is troubling her will go away soon and things will be back to normal because I miss her, a lot.

This is a prayer for you Dear Friend,

Dear God,

With this prayer I call to mind my friends.
I ask for Your blessings on them.
May angels fill their nights And bless their days.
May they find joy and peace and harmony.
May I be a source of happiness in their lives.
May our bond be strong and based on truth.
May they always know that In me, they have support.
May I live a life that Lives up to this prayer.
Thank you God...Amen.

Southern California Fires

If you guys have been following the news about Southern California fires, please pray for all the people who have suffered because of it. Being right in the center of this devastation reemphasised the fact of how insignificant and helpless we are when forces of nature decide to take things into their hands.
