A nice poem about me...

Preethika, a nice friend of mine, wrote a poem (impromptu) about me...

I know a girl who loves to talk,
And talk she does with such a style
That she leaves a lasting impression
on anyone who's known her even just for a while..
~#~
I know a girl with the kindest heart
who cares for you like her own self
She knows what her friends like the most
and fulfills their wishes like a magical elf..
~#~
There is a lot to say about this girl
Who goes around in her moped all day
She is the best companion one can have
At work as well as in times of play..
~#~
She's like the banyan tree which will never fall
even if the toughest of winds pulls at her roots
She will overcome tough times by being herself
and later get to enjoy all of life's sweet fruits..

Memories of my Baby shower

Today, my cousin asked me the significance of having a Traditional Baby shower...as I was talking to her..memories of my "poochoottal, Poomsuvana Semanthonanyanam, Valaikaapu" came flooding in. The ausipicious day was fixed as 16th March 2011. My In laws and Parents were in full swing getting things ready for the event. What kept me engaged was shopping for myself..guess what I never did shopping for my wedding..only for my baby shower :-). Bangles, blouses, return gifts, hairdo kit..etc...

Sasthi-Abda-Poorthi

Y'day "Ammumma" (Grand mom) called up to remind me that my uncle is completing 60 years of his presence on this earth today. "Sasthi-Abda-Poorthi", She said. I knew the meaning, but not its significance. So I searched for some info, and Look what I found.. Turning sixty is a social-religious event in India especially in south. Shashtiabdapoorthi is a family event, when a 're-marriage 'of the couple, is performed .This unusual custom marked by rituals, reverberating with the 'mantras ' is spiritually and mentally rejuvenating for a couple who are 'graduageing'. Witnessed by the next generaton,it is a social event that reflects continuity. When a person reaches 60, he is in the year of the same name as in which he was born and hence the successful completion of one cycle. So, we give thanks for this longivity and pray for a trouble-free old age. The social, religious and spiritual connotations of this function When a man turns
