Get-Up-Before-6-Marathon-Day-20

This marathon helped me to reform my early raising habit.

Because of this one habit I got a bunch of good habit as gift voucher.

1. I had time to cook and have home made food.

2. I never had a wish to eat outside for 20 days

3. I got time for gardening

4. I have become very punctual at office.

5. I became little more active.

Love,

The concept of money is the worst thing that human ever invented.

It was invented for easy commutation.

But it has become the only motive of people.

It stopped production completely.

We all need to produce something to get money.

It's a Friday thought :-)

Have a happy Friday and a wonderful weekend.

But still I managed to get up by 5.50 AM.

Hastily I am typing to post this.

Have a happy day.

"Before you criticise someone you should walk a mile in their shoes"

We really do not have any idea what the other person went through.

It's easy to tell that they are going a trip often, they are rich by birth or whatever.

But each person will know the real risk that they have taken to achieve all these.

We don't need to analyse good or bad things about others; just lets live our life peacefully and let others live theirs.

We are not judges for everyone's life mistakes. Let us be lawyers for our own.

Love,

Before and after becoming mother:

I used to get irritated by seeing animals; some times no feelings. But now I realise how it is difficult for them to take care of Little ones.

I used to think why people are bringing such small kids in buses; it will disturb other passengers and the kids themselves. Now I painfully realise that there is no other option some times.

I could never tolerate if someone tells to clean poop of a kid; But lovely motherhood changed that feeling too.

I used to get irritated when people talk something about their kids always; but now I am also in the same boat. I couldn't stop talking about my baby. That is not to boast, but to share the happiness.

Even if you have to tolerate many pains , physical and mental ones, motherhood is an awesome time.

I love being a mother.

You don't need to get your own baby to feel this, but be with kids, you will become a kid and a parent.

Love,

If our loved ones are not keeping well, we feel as if the world is vanished.

We get the urge to bring all the medicines in this world to cure them.

We want to get the pain from them and feel it for ourselves.

Especially if children are not keeping well, parents can't tolerate it at all.

But one thing is that, time heals every pain. 

We want bad times to run fast.

Wake-Up-Before-6-Marathon-Day-14

Today I was traveling; couldn't get network in the morning. But I woke up before 6.

I don't like to travel but I love to visit places.

As a working mother I seldom get time to visit new places.

But I have to manage time little more effectively.

Plan your trip whenever possible, especially if you are a working woman and a mother.

Time and age will never return.

Have a happy Sunday.

What makes a relationship alive?

I think that the lively communication makes a relationship alive.

There should not be any diplomacy or grudge in a relationship.

It should be a straight forward thing.

If you hesitate to say something with your partner, there is something wrong in the relationship I believe.

And we need to work a lot to understand each other.

After marriage, Life is not always like a fairy tale.

We may need to give up a lot and we may need to adjust a lot.

We may need to give up our dreams as well.

In such times, partner's real understanding is required. The other person should really value the adjustment or sacrifice which we do. That is the main thing.

There will be fights; if there is no fight, nothing will be there to get to know the problems.
 

This is the morning thought that came to me
 

Have a happy Friday:-)

Love,

Vaanadhi

From Bangalore to Bengaluru:

I was gazing through window for a while before writing this.

'Bengaluru climate is back to form' This is the statement made by many of Bengalurians for last 3 days.

Yes. This time summer was really heavy.

Now rain started.

I remember the same Bengaluru exactly before 8 years.

Oh God.. How nice it was!!!

I can put it as 'Bangalore bachelor life' in my life-diary.

'If  time machine is set 8 years back, these will be thoughts in my mind.
 

- I forgot my umbrella. I am going to drench in rain ( even if it is summer )

- I should get ready by 7.20 AM. Otherwise I will miss my office bus

- How bad the PG food is :-(

- Today I ll buy dosa in road side shop ( daily )

- why my weight is getting reduced
- When is the next holiday
- Will I get seat in BMTC bus today?

- what will happen if something happens to this flyover when we are in it.'

I had many good and not so good experiences like this; Stopping here.

Enjoy monsoon.

Love,
Vaanadhi

In the eyes of my 1 year old daughter..

Whatever is boiling in a vessel is 'Kuzhambu'

We can touch everything and feel it.

All the watery items in the world is to splash and enjoy.

All pet animals are equal to my soft toy.

'Amya' is the word to express all the feelings.

She is learning many things all by herself.

I am learning many more things from her.

5 things that I don't care about:

1. Other's personal life until someone asks for a help.

2. Other people's talk about me

3. My appraisal rating ☺

4. My hair length.

5. What i need to cook.

And that's all. 

It was very difficult to make this list.

Actually I do care for many things and people.

Have a happy sunday

P.S. Today I couldn't get internet connection early morning. But I was awake at 5.00 AM

When doing my NTT course , I used think of games to play with kids.

But when we were children; 

we used to play some games which were really helping for counting, learning numbers etc and it happened without our knowledge.

One such game is 'Pallankuzhi'.

There will be 12 small pits , 6 of each side and 60 same sized stones or tamarind seeds. 

Two people will be sitting opposite to each other. 

We used to fill 5 stones to each pit. Then one has to take stones from his side pit and put one by one in a sequence.

This helps to count in fives. Without my knowledge I learnt  multiplication and addition in this game.

One more that I loved and still I love to play is 'Dhaayam'. 

A Variance of this game is played now a days. 

This game also helps in counting , adding and subtracting.

The other game that I used to play was 'achangal'. 

We have to play this with 5 stones or 7 stones.

What I wonder is, our ancestors has taught us so many things likes this. 

In everything they have used all natural resources like stone,mud,seeds etc. 

When I see the toys of my kid, I am thinking, "Are they really going to help her?"

Kids always love to play with natural resources and they will learn a lot naturally. 

We need to guide them in language, reading and writing. 

Rest all they will learn in their own pace.

We need to give them space to develop on their own. That's it.

Have a happy parenthood,

Love,

Vaanadhi

Though I am allergic to travel, I love to visit new places. Here is the list of places that I want to visit in my own state. I should strike through one by one as soon as possible.

1. Gangai Konda Cholapuram - A historical place which I am longing to visit.

2. Kodaikanal - yes, I am a Tamilian but never visited this place.

3. Kanniyakumari - I want to enjoy sunrise and sunset here.

4. Southern Districts of Tamilnadu - I have never gone beyond Madhurai. I will strike through this point soon.

5. Rameshwaram - Island 

6. Mahabalipuram - For its art and history

7. The Nilgiris - Not only Ooty, I want to visit the complete district.

I am a middle-class working woman and this is my travel wish list at present. Definitely I will visit one by one, soon or later.

Prepare your own list as well.

It gives a joy to understand our own interests and little enjoyment to spend time for ourselves in the busy lifestyle.

Have a happy Friday,

To 15 year old me:

Dear Vaanadhi,

  Hope you are doing good. 

Making your parents and family happy, is your goal of life, I can understand it. 

But you are not going to become a doctor as per your father's interest; I know you are trying to do it, but you will fail in that target.

You will become a software professional and your father will still be happy as you are not going to ask him single rupee after getting your degree.

If I tell you to enjoy life as much as possible, you will tell me that studies are much more important.

You will kill me if I tell that you are going to lose your dad in just 12 years and you will go ahead in life after that.

You can't believe that you are going to fall in love with a wonderful man and will get married to him.

You are going to cut short your lengthy hair.

You will be financially independent in just about 5 years.

You will love growing plants and composting.

You will give birth to a kid when you are 25 year old.

Anyhow study well. That is going to help for all these.

Love,

27 year old of you

Yesterday one of my colleagues told me "You are lost in your own world always. Why don't you talk to people if you come for treat?"

This talk happened after a team treat.

Then I started thinking.

What am I supposed to talk?

I really do no like to crib about others unnecessarily; I really hate when people do this.

I do not like to talk about me and my family without anyone asks specifically about it or without need for personal communication;

I can't talk about my interests to just-known-person; 

I can't talk about anything which is of my interest, to anyone who is not interested about the same.

I love gardening and composting;

I am mad in avoiding plastic, and people are seeing me as if I am mentally defected if I talk about all these.

I really do not know what am I supposed to talk?

Whether I talk or not; I respect people and their interests irrespective of gender, religion , language, community and country.

I do not like to listen if I am not interested. Otherwise I am listening.

Love, Vaanadhi

I lost my reading habit because of some personal reasons.

I lost my habit of getting up early also. 

I used to get up at least by 6. But now a days it has become 8. 

Somehow I need to kick start my habits.

I am starting a Get-Up-Before-6 Marathon here and just for 20 days.

There will be a blog post before 6.00 AM IST, every day for upcoming 20 days. 

I don't know whether I could get internet access in my travels.

But I find this way as inspiration; I am going to try my maximum.

I am considering this as my first post.

All the very best to me.

Love, 

Vaanadhi 

Losing Loved Ones

After long time, I feel like writing something.
When people ask me 'For what you are most afraid of?'
My instant reply would be 'Losing My Loved Ones'.
I lost my loved one and six months over.
I never ever thought in my life that I can go ahead without him.
He is part of me, actually, he is my everything not only Father.
First time, I saw someone's soul is getting away from body.
It took much time for me to realize that he will never come back.
After two months of his death, From Infosys campus, My hands automatically dialed his number to share an excitement; the next moment tears were rolling down from eyes.
I miss him each and every moment.
I have never been able to recover from personal disaster that life gave me.

Any Man Can Be a Father..
But It Takes Special Person
To Be A DAD!!!

He was there for me always,
He used to enjoy my excitement
He used to tolerate my tortures
He used to advise when I am feeling down
He used to listen when I am angry
None of my relationships can be compared with his.

Where ever I am now, It is all because of him.
I don't have any words to express, how much I miss him.

'I love you 'Appa'
I know that you are reading this.
And you are listening from somewhere.
In death also, you have taught me a thing.
Live Life Completely; Never regret for anything; Death may be waiting for you'
