Hello everyone🙋

Oooooo I was wondering what what what should be my last post of the year.. My precioussss…👽

image

And then it struck me,  everyone’s going to party( at least a few) and no ones gonna have time to read my post so keep it simple else Avada kedavra ⚡ and whoosh I go into smoke on new year’s eve..

Ok so not keeping it too long..just a few insights into the positives and negatives of 2⃣0⃣1⃣5⃣

1. Ok firstly ….Wheeee my elder Bro got married and Ruchi ( My sis in law) walked ( she rather came hopping and jumping 😉 ) into our family. 🎎

image

2. I went on my first trip abroad to one of the most wonderful and amazing places South Africa..yeeeeee
Truly I relish every moment  spent there even to this day..
( A blog on it is still pending) ✈

image

3.Workwise , I had to bid good bye to my previous  hospital as we were  relocating to my home town Bangalore..
( The good thing is I am back to home sweet home to Dad) 💃🏻

4. June and July saw me going through a personal loss which only made me stronger..
I did not think I could cope with it but I surprised mysef by being oh soo  calm..( which is sooo unlike me )
Yes of course I did have my share of sorrows and times of feeling real low but I overcame it.. 🙍🏻
Thank you daddy and my friends who helped me through it.. 👒

5. Lying helpless, in grief and pain, I slowly started reviving my dormant blog and found happiness and solace here amidst stranger friends..
I bounced back a happy person  and I am glad I did that..
Today i have such wonderful friends here, whose blogs   have taught me soo much..
Basically , I Learnt and realised the meaning of finding good in the bad that happens to you. 💁🏻

image

6. Made sooo many new friends in all the places I visited..One such person was Zane, our driver/ guide in South Africa and many other amazing  people in Tamil nadu. 👭👫

At the same time..the irony of life..due to unavoidable  circumstances a long time childhood  bestie having her issues stopped talking..
So, I give her space and time to bounce back.. 🙎🏻

7.Oh I got lovely chocolates and munchies from Zurich and Paris..
Courtesy a new found best friend and Sis in law.. 🍫🍬🍭

image

Not to forget some really  amazing tid bits and loads of soft toys. ⛄

image

8. Had a lovely Diwali for the first time in 16 years with my complete family followed by my birthday celebrations with my most beloved people. 🎆

image

9. Lastly developed a special bond with soo many wordpress friends..
So I am glad I started my journey here ..💌

What do I look forward to,  this new year??!!

image

Ahaaa..hmmmm..errrrr…nothing much..no specific resolutions  cause I don’t stick to them but yes, every passing year I find myself evolving to be more mature.. ( Of which, I am  glad about )
I just want the new year to go on peacefully with my loved ones, achieve a dream which may come true..

image

A silent prayer to God to keep my dad, hale and hearty and in good spirits.. 🙏🏻

Not sounding overtly dramatic,
Hope all of your dreams come true …
Live and let live..💞

image

And let’s all Jingaa la la la hooo and welcome the new year people!!! 💃💃💃🏻

Until next year… It’s the time to disco ..whoo hooo😁

Oh my my..2015 in review!!

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people. This blog was viewed about 5,200 times in 2015. If it were a NYC subway train, it would take about 4 trips to carry that many people.

🎄🎅Hellooo everyone..🙋

Here’s wishing all my friends  a Merry Christmas..🎅🎉🎊🎈

It’s the season to Share..Love and Celebrate..💝

Though I am a Hindu, Christmas has  always been special for me growing up in a convent school,💒 witnessing the events and participating in enacting the play, of when Jesus Christ was born..👶

I remember being the angel 👼🏻 standing behind the crib and singing along or going house to house carol singing..🎶🎼
My favourite carol being ” Joy to the world …” 👑
(My brother used to play one of the 3 wise men..)

image

My grandma’s side of the family celebrates Christmas with much enthu, with a themed crib every year..🎄
It’s the time when we make sweetmeats and order rich plum cakes and savouries.🍮🎂🍪
This year it’s a little quiet but without missing out on the Christmas fun and spirit..🎊🎈
Here’s the sweet candies and the rich plum cake and a few savouries I made..

image

(Pardon the pics..
Taken in a  haphazard way..Clockwise..
Home made sweets called Gala Galas and Chocolate cake..
Plum cake and Sweet candies)

Here’s wishing everyone again a very very Merry Christmas..🎉💝🎄🎈🎊🎅💞

image

Pssst:

A few of my chritsmas favourites
🎄My Fav carol-Joy to the world
🎄Fav story- Gift of the Magi
🎄Fav Christmas decorations- the star hanging outside our home
🎄Fav memory..Me and my brother going candy shopping with our Dad..

🎄Fav Christmas treat- Roast chicken with potatoes

🎄Favourite Sweetmeat-  Pudding

🎄Favourite movie – More than one..
A chritsmas carol, Jingle all the way and Home Alone..

Poetry

I drown and drown in endless sorrow,
Sorrow of which, I cannot name…
Not one nor two I have in mind,
Stories of endless, countless pain…
What to do is the question right now,
The solution to which is nowhere around…
I feel life sucks in a weird way,
Of which and what I cannot say…
This isn’t a poem about a misery,
Nor does it rhyme to the funny tree…
It’s just thoughts penned down,
Cause I want to tread to the magical tree…
I just want to break and feel so free,
Want to go far, far away to the magical tree…
Can I get there is still a question on mind,
So what do I do its a far off sight…

image

Where is my enchanted wood,
Of the books I have read…
Housing the faraway tree,
With different lands overhead…
Where is my faraway tree,
All crowded with folks so glee…
How do I reach it without a wand in hand…
Treading over softly and treading over land…
Lead me to it, in a magical way,
Help me to keep my sorrows at bay..

image

Where is my magical faraway tree… 😦

Chennai update and lessons learnt…

image

Things seem to be slowly returning to normal in the capital city of Tamil Nadu, Chennai and its adjoining areas, which were affected by the incessant rains.
With help pouring in from all quarters, Chennai is slowly bouncing back..
(Boy, I sound like a news reporter 🙈)

Though, it  will definitely  take time for things to be normal and hope to be restored, the entire country is busy debating as to who is to be blamed??Nature?? Global warming?? Drastic climatic changes?? The cities drainage systems?? The political parties ?? (blaming each other)

In the end, To each his own..
image

As chennai slowly recovers and heals..a feeling of goodwill too prevails..
I have only been reading and watching updates  about Chennai from the comfort of my home far far away, seriously I appreciate the efforts of every single person who made a difference to someone who needed help in chennai..

Thank god humanity exists even to this day.

image

Among all the Whats app messages and pics circulating, stating the ongoings and the progress of the people there,
One such message was really heartfelt..

So sharing it here on my weekly dose of Sunday Gyaans..

This holds good not just to the Chennai floods but to every calamity which has struck our nation and other nations of the world..

Thus it goes..

25 positive lessons learned from Chennai Floods 2015 :

1. Religion can easily be kept at home where it truly belongs. 🏩

2. Pride can be swallowed to the deepest pits of silence.😶

3. Bravery can be very very infectious. 👮

image

4. Warmth can spread faster than violence. 🌠

5. The strongest gates of homes can open up without request. 🏠🔓

6. The mischievous youth of yesterday have become the global beacon of hope. 👬👭

image

7. Husbands who have never seen their own kitchens can sit for days in community kitchens without a single complaint and still be happy. 👨

8. Women who were toiling with kids at home can coordinate some of the biggest rescue operations. 👩

9. Help has come from the poorest towards the richest not for the first time and not the last.
📥

image

10. The tightest purse is now over flowing without any strings attached. 💰💸💳

11.  Muslims have prayed in Hindu Houses, Hindus have prayed in Christian houses and Christians have prayed in Sikh house and Sikhs have prayed in Jain Houses without a finger or even a word raised against each other. 💒🏯

12. People who threw stones at animals are now feeding them. 🐾🐾

image

13. People who lost everything did not lose their smile. 🎭

14.Schools, Colleges and Universities of learning are teaching a new syllabus of accommodation and fellowship.🏤

15. Social Media which was called the next big evil turned overnight into a tool which saved thousands of lives. 🎥📡📺

image

16. Theft and crimes in houses which were vacant and left open, and on people forced on to the streets, were less than normal. 🔫🔪❌

17. Nobody talks of caste when allowing them home for food or stay or while distributing essentials. ⚡

18. People have learned to stand in a queue at the ATMs, Community Kitchens, Milk vending units, Supermarkets and Bus stations without jumping them. 👥👥👥

image

19. Even the weakest can help the strongest. 💪

20. Help can arrive before it is late. 🚑

image

21. No one who came for help was ever turned back.👷

image

22. Kids and students who did not go to schools and colleges due to the calamity but ran out to help have probably learned their best lessons of their life.👱

23. Brotherhood is bigger than the subtotal of our differences.👬

image

24. Society can function beautifully with least governance. 🆘

image

25. Politicians will never change. 😈

Here wishing all a hearty Sunday 💞💞 and a Happy happy countdown as the Christmas celebrations begin.. 🎄🎁🎉🎈⭐

Pray for Chennai.. 🙏

It’s  really saddening  to see the state of Tamil nadu  and Chennai..
Bangalore too had received constant rains but Chennai has been the most affected with rains lashing the city for more than a month affecting life and people and rendering many homeless.

image

When things seemed to just settle down, the rains lashed the city again and completely  flooded it.

image

image

image

image

We crib about anything and  everything in our daily lives, it’s  when calamities like this strike,  we realise the value of the smallest things, we realise we never enjoyed what we had, when we had the chance too.

It applies to me to you
and to everyone.

Everything  seems small and silly in front of nature’s fury..
It’s like a lesson.. We plan.. We grow..We fail.. We learn..
One instance and everything is gone.
So here’s hoping, the rains subside soon and life returns to normal.. It’s never been this bad ever.
Hope all my blogger Friends  from chennai are safe.
Pray for Chennai..

Tooths of Wisdom :😓👻👿 #2

Pssst..
So continuing from where I stopped🚫
Just my own thoughts/rants 💁

In short, a summary: Loosing wisdom tooth yet gaining wisdom- An insight.. 😝

image

Post extraction, Late at night I wondered  what happened to the tooth they pulled out..😧 If they would have given it to me, I would have put it under my pillow💤💭  waiting up  for the Tooth fairy..👼  (Sooo dumb of me I know..😂)

image

When  I was a kid..👧 All my friends in school had one or the other tooth falling off.

image

Me though I was in  the 4th grade, had strong milk teeth,💪🏻waiting waiting  for my teeth to fall off, achieved by banging a steel ruler  constantly against my teeth hoping they fall off..

Fall it did but the end result being two slightly twisted adjacent teeth in the lower jaw.. :twisted:Horrible me I know😈🙈

image

I always dreaded and still dread Eclairs..🍬 It’s an Indian caramel  toffee🍬🍬

image

The minute I used to pop in one.. 😮The great me couldn’t just wait to bite into it!!😑
And the end result one tooth out!!! 😟
Specially the pre molars..
One by one, everytime I bit into it, one tooth gone.
I pull out the chocy and what do I find??? A  tooth attached.😱

image

In India we rarely believe in the concept of the Tooth Fairy👼

image

But, I used to believe that  burrying my tooth in the rose plant pot,🌹 with crosses ➕ made  from coconut sticks and small Pebbles 🔘 serving as tooth stones😜 (oopzzzz tombstones) with the belief that if I did so I would have a nice set of pearly whites 😬➖else only crooked ones 😨〰 strewn everywhere.
Geeeee boy did it work.. I have a good set of teeth.. Eeeeeeeee….😁😁seeeeee😛😛

image

Last of my rants..
The Dentist 👺told me, there’s another wisdom tooth erupting in my lower jaw..😰
Eeekkssss.. 🙈
I am  dreading it nowwww.. 😫Hope it doesn’t end up getting extracted.. 😥 😷

image

Anyone experienced something similar??😈 Do share it..;)

Until next time smile while you still have teeth.. 😜😛
