Year 2018!!!

I hear you... Cliche!!! That I am. This year has been so life altering!!!

  • Got my visa to this beautiful place. This was  my long waited wish.
  • Planned and nagged my parents to move to the new house though I knew I would pack myself out of there in few months
  • Packed my entire life into 4 suitcases with Dewy and moved to this foreign place (Crazy I am)
  • Cried my first day here at onsite (no TV, no internet and snow white ground and no people in near vicinity - Lets just say these are the reasons)
  • Scared to death of managing Dewy alone,still ploughed through with Dewy being my strongest pillar.
  • Spent 2 months, begging others to help me drive around. People who know me would know that it is most painful thing for me to do.
  • Got a drivers license and bought a car!!! Simple pleasures.
  • Our lives moves on and comes summer vacation And that too 3 months.
  • 9 weeks of running around office, summer camp and the need to be on time to the Summer Camp!! Duh!! I actually lost weight.
  • Thankfully school started and lunch box woes too.
  • And I think I got better of managing work, Dewy and home all alone.
  • Then comes a project that takes me to work 24 hours in a day and Dewy being Dewy supported me all through that 2 months where I worked my life off 24 hours.
  • I did a trip alone. Ha Ha. I bravely planned and got lot scared about us girls going out alone and staying in a hotel. Not something I have done in my existing life span
  • Lost a relative and saved a relative from cancer's hand.
  • With Thanksgiving and Christmas we did our share of shopping, trees and lights.
  • And I rejuvenated my blogging habits.

And here I am at the end of 2018. Looking back, I have been selfish this year. I did all that I wanted. In that I have taken Dewy away from her grand parents, but I think it has also given me a chance to be with my daughter.

I just hope my next year continues to be better and we continue to grow, learn and have fun. Amen to that!!!

To prioritize or Not to; thats the question

A professor stood before his Philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “yes”. The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed. “ Now,” said the professor, as the laughter subsided, “I want you to recognize that t

Freedom at Midnight

Till date I never read a book consecutively twice. But I had to; in this case. When I completed reading the book first time I was too lost in facts to miss the emotions. I felt hatred, devotion, anger and a confused feeling towards British, Indian Leaders, Mohammed Ali Jinnah and Gandhi in that order. I was surprised how little I knew about my mother land. The Empire was 'heavy with gold, black with industrial soot, and red with the blood of conquest.' Collins and Lapierre open the book on New Year's Day, 1947 -- London awakes to filth of its own country. The reader is taken on a journey of significant events that lead to the independence of India. On the way you will be introduced to many brilliant characters that shaped the history of India and have left a mark that is still evident. The authors’ attempt to justify everything done by the British Indian Empire by concealing the atrocities brought about by them during their so-called Raj in India. Collins and Lapierre skip

Malayalam-too tough

Aahaaaa…..Finally got something to post about. Was suffering from writer’s block... he.. hee.he. Spent a few days at my granny’s place with net access denied and got back home just this weekend. Now when I am back to blogsville something has taken back my writing skills. Thought too much about what to post and my mom could see a smoke coming through my ears. Now getting back to topic. Since I had no special work to carry on I was ransacking my shelves to find some good old books to read. My hands fell on a book and it was my Malayalam book. When my exams got over I was bent on making mom help me learn Malayalam. That turned out to be a disaster. Though I am a malayalee, being born and brought up in Chennai is the only reason I can’t read and write my mother tongue. That’s a shame. I wanted to learn before I reach trivandrum for my training at TCS. So with the same vigor I bought a book to help me, since mom had certain confusion with new version and started learning the alphabets. Afte
