PS, I Love you - The Novel

PS, I Love you was the first novel I read. Yes, I started very late. While I was in Germany, I was free most of the time. I will cook, clean home and after that I will just chat with my friend S who was working in India.  She too will log out by 2 pm.  After that I was on my own. I was just married then without kids. I will go for a long walk.  However long the walk is, I will return by 3.

I read, but I am not a novel person and only like short stories.  But one of our friend M gifted me few novel and he also commented that I will like them. So thus started my Novel days in Germany. The one attracted me first was PS, I love you.  The story was emotional and was so touching anf it talks about love and loss. Basically, it was my kind of novel. I was so involved in the story that in spite of all my fights with MM, I held him very close to me. It talks about Holly and Gerry, loss of Gerry and after effects for Holly. It sure is a nice novel and worth reading. And quote Cecelia left, 'Shoot for the moon, even if you fail, you will land among the stars' sure deserves my credits.

I will not say, that this is a review but this is my blog .  I wanted to write and am writing. ;)haha..

Tea-holic

I was a TEA Lover.  Now-a-days I am becoming a Tea-holic too.
For me tea goes with mostly everything.  I drink my tea with Biscuit, Muruku, Thatai, Chips,  Friends, Colleagues, Kids, Book, Computer, TV, even with my In-laws..

When can I drink tea? Any time, I drink tea while I get up, while jogging, while my kids play, while traveling, while working. To put it together I drink tea all the time.

I used to drink 6 cups of black tea a day at my seat while I work(at home count is not added).  My TL got so irritated(Whenever she peeks into my seat, I will be sipping tea) She made a rule that no one should have tea at their seat.  And all my colleagues cursed me(you know why) Boys used to tease me saying that I am drinking phenyle/Saraku (black tea) as it supplied free of cost at my office. Thank god, my colleagues does not know about my Turkish tea consumption. While I was in Germany, along with MM and other Friends used to drink Turkish tea continuously for 3 - 4 hrs. (at least 15- 20 cups of tea) Those were blissful days :-)

Once one of my colleague fainted/about to fall due to dehydration and my tea was used as a hydrating tool(Water was not around).  But poor gal, puked and went so furious. She asked me, how I am drinking that black liquid.  I was thinking that she wasted my precious tea. :P

How to make my Tea?
Hot water + Tea bag + a few grains of sugar or without sugar  --> As simple as this.

You can add any other accessories if you really want them.


I have listed some Special teas prepared by my loved ones.

My mom prepares Milk tea with lots and lots of Ginger. I longed for this tea, while I was in Germany/US. Now I am so privileged to drink my mom's tea daily.

My Sister make lite tea with milk. Less Spicy but with lots of love.

My mother-in-law prepares strong herbal tea (with milk) especially for me.

MM once made me tea with Inji mittai can't get such a tea again.. :( We were out of ginger that day)

My close friend A made me green tea at her Patio, I still remember the taste though it was 3 yrs ago. 

One day the boy who supplies tea asked me, why do you drink that dirty colored water? Ooops You too.. I drink tea because it is so healthy and the main reason is I like drinking it. Do we need any other reasons?

My Crispy Apples - Mowgli and Nemo!

 

My babies are growing so soon that my Mowgli is studying IInd std and my Nemo LKG. Both of them are talking so well and most of the time I am left without answers for their question.

 

Both my babies call my mom as mamai.

 

Yesterday My Nemo was talking with my mom

 

Mamai, I was siting in an apple and my mom mistakenly ate me up and I started to grow in her tummy and one day I became so big that doctor cut her stomach and took me out.  Later the doctor pasted her back and she could walk. LOL...

 

Today, My mom was asking me to accompany her to a distant relative's house and I was saying that they are bad guys and I do not want to visit them. My Mowglie overheard this it seems.  When we started to their house, my Mowgli asked

 

Mamai, Are we going to visit Bad guy's house? OMG what if he asks this at their home. Only God can save me.

Thank you!

Thank you for all the beautiful souls who helped me all through my deadly times, wiped my tears, held my hands, supported my mind and cleared my way. Special thanks to my dear friends who cooked, cleaned, cared and lit a fire in me to live. I was shouting, crying, blabbering, hitting myself and doing all kind of weird things one can do during a traggic situation. I do not know how my friends would have felt keeping me at their house, feeding me/kids.. My god.. They should be angels..Without you all, I would have been there, but not as I am now.

Thank you, my dear friends!!! You all hold a special place in my heart.

Its been more than 2 years now. I still feel the land shaking underneath me. The only thing which was in my mind was, why to me? One cannot escape his Destiny? Only God knows... Lets see.
 

Today

Today morning my good friend R woke me up for the morning jog.. I prayed to god(to see/feel good things) and I wanted to share the things I felt/came across during my jog..

It was a misty morning and the sun was just breaking in through all the trees. The scene was awesome.
I saw an old couple, they should be in their 80's walking.  (How active people are!!!)
I saw a woman, walking two dogs and a parrot. The parrot was sitting on her shoulder..
I saw a 200 yr old Inn, it is still in operating condition..
I saw a house which was built in 1713.
I saw the third largest sugar maple tree in Ridgefield CT, I tried to hug the tree, nope. I need my whole family to hug the tree..
There is another house just like a gingerbread house. They have lot of Rose bushes with lots of blooms and their fragrance was soo pleasant.
There is a conservatory of dance here and today I heard zumba music for the first time there and lot of woman dancing for that music. I felt the emerging energy.. That was cool..
The air was little chill but as the sun was in, I felt warm.
I saw lots of fresh flowers..
I was greeted by eleven people.
When I entered home, my blooms came running to me saying "Amma"
What else do I want from a Morning jog?    God sure is there..

Cherry blooms

Evening walks along with my little ones gives me gifts like this...
p.s. It was given by my Mowgli..

Mother's Day celebration at school

At Mowgli's school, the teachers arranged a party for Mothers(only mothers with their kid, that is the interesting part) and we had a nice time there sipping tea, munching cookies and fruits..  Every kid had arranged the table nicely and prepared tea for their mother.  It was awesome. The table had table cloth, vase with flowers, table liner, place mat, neatly folded tissue, name board,  trays with cookies, tea and fruits. Every single table had flower vase and everything I mentioned.  Even I dont arrange my table as neatly as that. (everything done by the kids) Unfortunately, I dint carry my camera to shoot the interesting moment.. They also celebrated the Teachers appreciation week at the school.. Every kid gave some flowers to the teachers. And my Mowgli made this flower...



After coming from his school, Mowgli started this conversation..

Mowgli: Today I am going to take you somewhere..
Amma: Enga da kanna?(Where?)

Mowgli: To the Diamond Store..
Amma: (I was amazed, but did not show that to him) Ethuku da?(why?)

Mowgli: I am going to buy you diamonds and emeralds and ruby..

Amma: Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa(!!!)

Mowgli: Yeah.. You can take whatever you want...
Amma: Anything???

Mowgli: Ear ring, necklace or anything you like amma...


So innocent my Mowgli is... He does not know, that we need to pay for them(he thinks that he can swipe his dad's card)..
