நிகழ்ந்தவை நினைவாக

வருபவை வளமாக
தீமைகள் தீர்ந்திட
நன்மைகள் நிறைந்திட
சுயநலம் சுருங்கிட

வையத்து மாந்தரெல்லாம்
வளம் பெற்று வாழ்ந்திட
வாழ்த்துபல சொல்லி
வருக புத்தாண்டே!

My son's graduation

Today I feel so great and happy. My elder son graduated from his preschool, yes preschool :)
Graduation is no longer limited to attaining one's degree...it actually means the rite of passage- the ritual of passing on to the next higher level. Hence its appropriate in my son's preschool as the senior kids are passing on to the next level, big school, to the big world and to bigger responsibilities. The kids were feeling very special that they beamed and were glowing.
There also was a program, "couples of national integrity" in which the kids came as couples of different states of India. It was a splendid sight to see the kids clad as brides and grooms, walking the stage as couples and announcing which state they were from. My son was a UttarPradesh groom today. He looked absolutely handsome and royal. His words came out sharp and clear in the mike "We are from Uttar Pradesh". I felt very glad to watch him, indeed beamed inside.

Then the kids sang a song and then was the main event of the day, graduation. The chief guest Mrs.Usha, Principal of India International school gave away the graduation certificates. The kids also sang "the small light of mine" with a torch held in their hands.
It was a great day altogether and I ennjjooyyed every moment of the function in my beloved son's school. This day will forever remain green in my heart, even after my son gets many degrees later.

Dreaming doesnt harm, right?

A day has reached its end and the sun is ready to set in around an hour or so. The cuckoo staying in my clock coos 5 times. I am in my kitchen amidst the flavour of the boiling tea. No sooner did I switch off the burner than my son shouts in joy "Appa Appa". Here my sweet heart enters the door with a warm smile. He picks up my son, turns towards me and says " hi Darling, where's the little one?" "He is sleeping dear", with that I peek at my younger one to make sure he is comfortably sleeping. My husband changes and comes as I bring the tray of tea and milk for my elder son. We sit together, chit chat about the day and enjoy the tea time.

Most joyful thing

I was out of my blog for long. But thats for a valid and good reason. I had my second baby, a lovely boy. My first boy is a cute kid of age 4. I had both joyful and frustrating times with my two boys. And let me hurry up, I just have 15 min in my hand...I had put my baby to sleep and waiting for my big boy to come back from his preschool.
I feel the most joyful thing in the world is to lie down next to your baby and talk with him. The way he responds with alls his coos... and he moves his arms and legs to express himself..I feel so much love in those movements. I could understand his each movement and "words". Such a lovely and joyful feeling making my heart sink in a puddle of icy cold chocolate-wow.. :) And I also wonder his love is unconditional, unaware of many things which people expect to love each other..The baby's love is so innocent and so true..I wish I could enjoy each and every fraction of a moment with my baby. And here I hear my big prince's van and I sign off now..see you take care

My first post

For quite sometime, something inside me was persistently nagging me.."do something...do something". What is that dwelling inside me? Sometimes instructing me, sometimes questioning me, and ofcourse sometimes confusing me...Yes, thats my inner voice, my heart's voice. I decided to do something and then came the next confusion...what on earth to do? I have a loving family to take care of, some chores which I like and some chores which I don't like and some which I hate too..Amidst all these what am I supposed to do? My inner voice said "you cannot just let go like that" Well, so many thoughts, so many thoughts....joyful, sad,beaming, gloomy and what not...At last I decided let me put those in a diary...And then my dear Vinod, my husband said " Why dont you write this on web?" And there the seed was sown and its slowly sprouting today, my first post...lets see how it grows...
