Get-Up-Before-6-Marathon-Day-5

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,

Vaanadhi

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

Get-Up-Before-6-Marathon-Day-2

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

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, 

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'

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, 

Vaanadhi
