Happy Brithday to 2014

Happy Birthday to 2014 ( I thought and thought so much for a title.. This is what i could get.. )

Some new resolutions for this year... Some things I may break.. Some things I may follow...

My character is not a static one, it is dynamic ( 'Anniyachi' as called by Dinesh )..

But still I am making resolutions.. Because it makes me happy... It takes me to celebration mode of this new year...

So here are my resolutions only for this new year...

1. People are Important : Share things with people. Don't hurt people unnecessarily. Talk to more people. Create good and positive relationships. Spend enough time for family.

2. Reading and Writing : Reading makes me happy.. Read more.. Writing in diary or in this blog always increases the confidence in me.. So Explore things via writing..

3. Search Of New World : Visit at least 2 new places in this year.. It gives creative thinking and pleasure.

4. Physical Work : Increase physical activities as much as possible. It gives mental health as well.

5. Work And Interest : Concentrate On Work. Complete the NTT course with satisfaction.


Thats it...

(Why the count is 5?
Why we always end some things in 5, 10 or their multiples?
I was thinking on this for long time..
At last I got answer like this..
Because our money system is like that.. There is no 3 rupee coin or 6 rupee coin na...
So always we make our mind set to calculate easily.. that makes us to do this..
Or clock seconds we are counting in multiples of 5.. May be because of that?
In my corner of mind , there is a question.. Why we made coins as 5 and 10?
Why we counted seconds and minutes in multiples of 5?
Confused? Huh :-) Thats What I wanted )

Sorry for this above paragraph...
I started thinking on this, while writing this post...

Wishing you a very happy New Year ahead...


Enjoy..

Bye Bye 2013

Oh .. 2013 completed so soon.. Isn't it?
Today is the last day in 2013...

Oh God... I am remembering the day 1 of 2013...
 - How me and Dinesh were eagerly waiting to see whether the world will vanish as per Mayan Calendar or not ( Ya.. Reading unnecessary things will leave us in this state too.. :-) )

- How the crackers showed the happiness of the world ( at least of Bangalore city that I know) when the clock ticked 12.01 AM.

This year had given so many good and bad things as any other year...

2013 had helped me so much for my attitude growth..
I started understanding people in a better way..
I started liking my character more than any other time...
I saw myself growing internally..
I saw consistency in my activities..
"Reading books" had become a habit for me..
I shared lot and lot of things with my friends without any possessiveness or superiority\Inferiority complex...
Oh God.. Enough is enough.. This is like self appraisal...
 2013 was a good year for personal growth...


Wanted to give nice send off for 2013 ... Bye bye 2013...

Looking forward for 2014 with new dreams, expectations and plans...

Wishing everyone a very happy new year!!!

Let 2014 gives you a positive attitude towards life..
Let 2014 gives you lot and lot of energy to do everything that you wanted...
Let 2014 gives you a character to see happiness in everything...


With Love and Care,
Vaanadhi

Be Happy and Humble always :-)

Book : Confessions of a call center worker

Last week-end I completed my reading of the book "confessions of a call center worker".
The story goes like this:
Kris, a young guy from Northern part of West Bengal moves into Kolkatta to continue studies after his school completion.
After completing his degree, he joins with a call center due to family pressure. Mostly the discussion was about this part of his life.
It was good to read as I have worked in the same type of technical call support ( not either in call center or in night shift ) when I started my career.
But the way of story telling was not much impressive to me. I am not sure why.
I put this book away twice without interest. But today, I did not have any other option as I was waiting for my husband for more than 3 hours, and this was the only book I had in my hand bag.
It took my thoughts back to initial days of my career. Thanks to the Author.

Happy week ahead..

Book : The One You Cannot Have

I completed my reading of the novel "The One You Cannot Have" by Preeti Shenoy.

I really loved the story and narration.

Than "The Secret Wishlist", I like this now.

Story was really interesting, and narration takes us to turn pages unknowingly. This may be too much. But this is what I felt.

I personally like if any character of a story is either writer or journalist .. I really don't know why..

Story goes like this: Aman and Shruthi loved each other. Time makes them not to marry. Shruthi has married to Rishabh because of her situation.

They both struggle with the pain, even though they continue to go on and work.

After 2 years of enough struggle, Aman makes a move towards Anjali who is a journalist ( This was the character I completely loved in this story ). Aman decides to move on with Anjali, he happened to meet Shruthi. And what he decides is the climax...

It was amazing.. I wanted the same decision by Aman at the end...

Really nice...

I wanted to mention one thing..

Yesterday night ( It was midnight ), I was reading the book.. I was about to complete.. By reading the below sentence I started laughing...

Then my husband asked me and I told him to read and we both burst into laugh...

When a woman says, "There is something to talk about" you only have two options.

1. Tuck your tail between your legs and run as fast as you can.

I am not going to tell the second option, read in the novel... :-)




My husband told that he is agreeing with both the points :-)

I liked the articles written by Anjali ( Preeti's thoughts )..

Totally worth reading story...

Thank you Preeti for this nice book...

Whatever I am writing is not a review and its only my emotions...

Enjoy...

Happy week end!!!

With Love,

who has to decide about having children?

I am reading the book "The One You Cannot Have"

Actually why I wanted to write this post in between you know?

For about 2-3 weeks I am having the same feeling that Shruthi ( A character in the novel ) has in having own children.

I have got this question from all the end "Any Good News?" which I hate to hear.. And this is what I am replying to everyone "If at all something is there, I will definitely inform you"

I really don't understand why people will interfere in others' personal things which is really personal.

They are telling Indian culture is conservative.. Is it?

This is something like asking, "Have you had sex yet or not?" and this is what I interpret to, whenever somebody asks about that Good news.

Don't they feel shame in asking this? What is the solution they are going to provide if I do or don't get conceived..

I am really feeling irritated if someone asks about this, be it my mom or my in-laws...

Is that the only duty a girl has after marriage? She is not having anything else to achieve in her life?

After all, If she wants baby, that is she, who has to decide on that... How can we go for having a baby for someone else?

I hate all the people who asks me about this good news..

Till Marriage they will ask, When is the marriage.. Then immediately they will ask "When is the kid?"

Is that all life about?

I do like kids.. But I have to plan when i have to get it na?

Please don't ask anyone like this... It may hurt them..

With Experiences,
Vaanadhi

Kinder Garten Teachers are Really Great..

Yesterday I had NTT class..Where in we had to teach a rhyme and story to kids..
We had to bring the teaching aids also..
One thing that I understood is, it is really very difficult to make the kids to listen some thing that you are telling..
It is easy to teach the grown up pupil and not for the kindergarten..

I really wondered that some people put so much efforts on that.. They danced, they were running here and there with rhymes..
They were making sounds like Lion, Tiger, Goat etc to narrate stories..
They might have struggled a lot to bring the interesting aids to teach..
We can't take this as a simple occupation like anything else..This takes real efforts.. Real interest... Some times pain too..
But all the teachers enjoy doing it...
Kudos to all kindergarten teachers... ( I will be one among them in future.. :-) )
Happy Week ahead!!!

Enjoy every moment of life...

With Love,

Book: Confessions Of A Page 3 Reporter

Last Night, I completed my reading of the book "Confessions of a Page 3 Reporter"

This book deals with life incidents of a Page 3 reporter Megha, who works for a daily newspaper named "Morning Post".

She talks clearly about the aspects of page 3 journalism. Why I am telling this is , I know very little things about journalism. But after reading this book, I felt a little difference in that.

She talks nicely about Politics in the industry, her superior who tries to demotivate or ensures no credit for her hard work.

She explains about her Boss, who is a rich and handsome person and makes her to fall in his trap, using her enthusiasm towards improvement in work.

Totally, It was a nice book and it made me to turn pages just like that.

I enjoyed reading this book.. This story was totally different environment for me to analyze...

Thanks to Megha Malhotra..
