Get-Up-Before-6-Marathon-Day-1

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,

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'

Happy Valentine's Day

One of my friends told that we don't have the culture of celebrating Valentine's Day.
At the same moment I felt that I should go somewhere or do something for this day.
What is there in celebrating?

One should be happy and satisfied in life everyday.

We are at Kochi, Kerala for our Valentine's Day.

I really fall in love with this place and mainly beach.

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone.

Go and plan a surprise dinner with your loved ones.

Enjoy life !!

Love,

This small gardening gives me relaxation

 

I started this without any prior experience in gardening.

 

I did not spend much time or money for this.

 



I did not add any chemicals to plants.

Its pure organic vegetables and leaves.

Got inspired? Go start your own..

Start with 2 pots .. Grow anything...

You will be surprised to see the result... I am surprised...


Love,

After Long Time

I come to this place really after long time.
I became a full time mother for these many days and had no single minute to think of anything else.
Now I got little break as I enrolled my daughter into day care for some hours.
There are so many changes happened in life;
I hope everything goes well.
I had some time to grow plants. Wanted to share some pics of my Tiny terrace Garden.

 

I couldn't add all the images as my network has some issues. Will post other photos soon.
Have a Happy weekend ahead.

With Love,
Vaanadhi.

My Soul

She passed away
Yes, that is how everyone say
She left in me, deep pain
Something more too, like stain
I was with her for 25 years
She lived for good 100 years



There was always generation gap in our talk

She knew only to love

She didn't know to hate anyone

She lost her son at 97 years

She cried a lot; but still she lived.

She never thought about self killing.

She struggled a lot in her life.

She is God for me.

I can't pass single day without thinking of her.

She saw 5 generations.

She knew everything from organic agriculture to Computer and iPhone

She did not know to read; but whatever we learnt from her can make a book.

She was afraid of wind

She liked sweets.

She loved my dad like anything.

Even in midnight, she used to get up and ask about my dad.

She longed to see my brother;

The people who she loved the most, could not make for her funeral.

I was with her in her last days.

I thank God for the opportunity to serve her in her last days.

She is my 'Aaya'; we have age gap of four generations.

When it rains, I remember her;

When there is wind, I remember her;

When I eat sweets, I remember her;

I miss her a lot. I love her a lot. She is there with me always.

Before Motherhood and After Motherhood

Any woman's life can be divided into two parts: Before Motherhood and After Motherhood.
For some ladies, it is Before Marriage and After Marriage ( In my case this is not applicable; Me and My activities were same before and after marriage)
Before Motherhood, if anyone told me that there is no time to do exercise, no time to go out with friends, no time to read books etc, I used to wonder.
But now things are different.
The above things are happening in my life too.
My kid is 8 months old.
My life became a race.
My schedule is this:
Each morning cook, clean the house, Feed the baby and run for work.
If it is 12.30, rush to home, take care of baby and again by 2.30 rush for work.
By 5.30, reach home, take my daughter out for a walk, return by 6.30.
Again cooking, doing laundry, making baby to sleep. Some times my office work extends till 11.30 PM

In this routine, so many times I longed to read a book, to do yoga, to talk with my close ones; but the problem is "No Time".
Even for my husband, the same routine.
I have worked on my time management so many days, but still there is no solution that I found.
Still I am working to find out some "MeMe" time to enjoy my personal life.
 
This morning gave me great feeling
I talked with one of my closest, after long time.
While walking from parking slot to work-tower, I called her.

Sharing is very important. Do find time for that.

Have Happy Day!!!

Love,
Vaanadhi
