What is your favorite color?

Answer to the question, “what is your favorite color?” has been a crucial factor in determining my collection of saris, dresses, and accessories (including gold jewels) specially the ones I received as gifts.

I read articles about how color is used to determine moods, behavioral characteristics or how a zodiac sign determines ones favorite (lucky) color. From childhood, I took a liking towards shades of blue-green, particularly dark green. Violet- purple came second. Hence, liking towards the gemstone emeralds /sapphires.

I happened to tell my parents and some relatives the same (that my favorite color is green) and voila... Every gift for every occasion whether it was my birthday, or festivals, graduation, misc celebrations, wedding and even my baby shower now, brought shades of green in my presents. From dresses, bangles, ornaments, decorative memorabilia to ribbons, icing on cakes, bags, even bed-sheets and comforters. My wardrobe consists of every shade of green imaginable. Sea green, blue green, dark green, light green, bottle green, lime green, bluish green, peacock green, teal green … etc whatever called, It’s green. :D My wedding alone brought me 9 diff green saris as presents. Too much of anything is boring and I think I have had enough of greens.

Now, when someone asks me “what is my favorite color?” I choose my answer carefully, depending what color present I want. Hehehe! ;) I have extended my favorites list to pinks, maroons, golds, even oranges and whites, which I used to think wouldn’t look good on me, but boy! Was I Wrong? All colors are pretty depending how we wear it (the pattern/fabric/design etc).

My latest venture is into browns and shades of indigo and they look just as gorgeous as the other tried and tested colors on me :)

Mindblowing experience – A realization

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 ...
