Fading Relationships - Just Memories

'My World' that WAS
Is Fading Before My Eyes.
Relationships change priorities
Some forced by time
Some by people!!
Happy Memories Fade too
No One Is Near Me,
No One is Really Dear to Me
I Scream For Help, But No One Comes.
People who cared No longer dare
People who dare - don't really care!!
That Old Cheerfulness Is Gone
Life is No Longer the Same
No One's Here To Help Me.
I Just Sit Here Alone
For Practicality I Have Paid a High Price
Nostalgic memories somehow creep
I Can Only Weep !
Life is never the Same
Never will those Good days return Nor will those People
Oh! Lord – Why give me people to Love ?
Why give me memories ?
Why? Oh Why?

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...

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... I had almost memorized verbatim the significance of the function as mentioned in http://www.trsiyengar.com/id156.shtml We had the Sumangali Pooja on 13th march. MIL, Co-sister had prepared a traditional spread for 5 Sumangalis (Married women) + usual people in the household.

So I got some saris for them too..(one of my aunts was c...
