A Monsoon day :)

innallaki gurthochana Vaana... nuvvosthanante, nenoddantaana

beautiful day... was sunny in the morning, cloudy all afternoon and started raining in the evening all throughthe night... its been ages since i felt the monsoon rains. years ago i and my cousins used get on the terrace, makin up some excuses... to just feel the rain and get drenched. it was fun we loved to do at the beginning of every rainy season. things like forget ur raincoat wantedly or say it started raining after u decided to go out or were tryin to get all the clothes (out for drying)inside.. or clearin out the blokage from the rain water drain etc etc.. okata renda.. enno bahanalu... just ala varsham lo thadavadam kosam

today all those fond memories flashed back. i sat there smelling the scent of wet mud, rain and rose plants in balcony, as the rain water sprinkled on me from off of the balcony wall and railings.

mom was making hot pakoras and warm double ka meetha.. yumm my fav food to go with the monsoon rains. accompanied by hot chocolate and Kishore da songs.. wah! kya life hai...

early this morning, mom made pesarattu and onion chutney for breakfast and i cooked vanakaya chutney, cabbage curry and dal for lunch... went shopping for clothes for Dussera, prepared guest list for the Gruhapravesam scheduled on the day of Dussera, tried on some sarees and jewellery... caught up with a couple of my long lost school friends.. it feels so goood anytime to be in touch with ur childhood and best way to do is to keep in touch with bachpan ke friends...

reppa venakala swapnam.. kotha bangaru lokam anipinchindi

i was browsing the 600 some channels on cable TV and watched friends and seinfeld on Star World channel.. later sat in front of my PC to pen down a few lines abt this beautiful monsoon day :)

Mindblowing experience – A realization

Literally! Blew my mind away… feels like there were two different worlds… a world that felt normal to me and then a bizzaro world! US of A and then India. i have penned down about a lot of ups and down in USA.. heres one, about a realization that occured after my Return to India. i wouldn't have probably felt it if not for my so long stay in the states away from India, relatives, hometown, country side, so called values, culture, traditions etcetera. Temples, poojalu, abhishekalu, temple visit poojalu, abhishekalu and repeat… fastinglu, cold showerlu (challaneella snanala punyalu), daiva bhakthi, mogudi ki sevalu… if not the above then the below illu, vanta, vantillu, pinnigaru, akkayagaru and santha… cheeralu nagalu poolu animanigi undatalu ive adadaani abharanaalu Ive adadaani prapancham… inkaaa… even this age …ee kalamo lo, ee 21st century lo … Lol so wat if it is 21st century Some people some places never want to change, never want to widen their horizons, and never want to thi...

Multi-Tasker or a Specialist

I have become a multi-tasking freak of sorts. It's like i have this obsessive compulsion to do more than one thing at a time or i feel like it is not a good use of my time and abilities. It's like tasting a lil bit of everything from the buffet than ordering A la carte one at a time. :D Things I have tried my hands at so far consciously or co-incidentally, passionately or professionally are drawing, painting, stitching, knitting,  playing keyboard, writing short poems, reading avidly, writing, interior designing, contemporary dancing, promoting sensible living with awareness, teaching, mentoring, counseling, Photography, DJing and of course blogging apart several other things. Sometimes I feel like a Jack(or a Jill) of all trades and master of none. I felt time wasted, I felt me wasted. But then, I realize my priorities are different at the present. At the moment and present circumstances my priority is not to be recognized as one of coolest DJs or an awesome dancer , or...

A Love Letter...

To my baby to be... As my amazing journey to motherhood continues, I went for my week 34 check up today and boy was i thrilled! to see my baby on the ultrasound machine. thanks to many wonderful inventions of man. I saw my baby who looked fully formed ready to hit the ramp to the big world outside mommy's tummy. I was so glad to know the baby seemed healthy, playful, arms moving as if waving a 'hello' to mommy and legs kicking as active as ever since my first ultrasound in week 11. tears of joy, feeling of ecstasy engulfed me. I so miss having vijju by my side to hug and share the feelings. ------------- Dear Buvi (as we fondly call our baby) I keep thinking of all the wonderful things we'd do after you come to this world. Being playful, being nice, being naughty, learning together, growing together, exploring world's mysteries together, loving and being loved by many. I am typing this, i call a love letter, as you grow inside of me, getting ready for your fabulous ...
