This is my first letter to Him and I hope He will excuse my amateurish effort.
Initially I was dead against loving Him. I used to have fights with my friends in college and with my teachers too that I am not that kind of girl.I felt proud to be in the minority .I used to laugh at my peers who tried to convince me otherwise.
I thought I was an intelligent girl and knew everything there is to know about life .May be every teenager feels that the world is her oyster and I am no different .
I continued like this till my son was born .When he fell sick due to cold and fever I was worried and upset. Even when he was given medication he is not getting better then I thought of Him,ya you guessed right ,its none other than God .Then I asked him timidly to get my son cured and I tried to bribe him with a coconut too.God being God din’t take offense cured my son and made me happy immensely.From then on if anything goes wrong in my life I used to call Him and He is there for me always .I used to pride myself on being an atheist all my college life ,now that I became older and wiser I understood my folly.Now when I see today’s youth praying and going to temples ,I wonder if its bhakthi or fear that’s the driving force.
This letter is a thank you note from the depth of my heart to God for what all he had done for me and asking Him to be there for me always.
THANK YOU GOD ,THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE.YOU ARE THE BEST .

Last week I read a tongue in cheek article by a teen in The hindu NXG edition.
She laments how difficult it is for teens to be open with their parents about
outings ,friends .I found some teens are dead against their parents using the
children's mobiles or checking them.My mom was a disciplinarian ,yet i was
close to her and talked about everything in my teens ,of course I got some
admonishements from her too.But that never deterred me to be close to her
or rather discuss issues relating to my life.
Nowadays youth are so secretive about their life ,that left me question the role
parents play in their upbringing .Should we as parents let the children do what
they want and remain mute spectators or should we face the wrath of children
by asking to be a part of their life?We read so many stories about abusing parents
and how children should be protected from .But how do we draw the line when to
interfere and when not to.I wonder if our parents too felt like this when we are growing up. ]]> Deaf woman http://www.indusladies.com/forums/blogs/deaf-woman/expecting-honesty-teenagers-tall-order-2143/ http://www.indusladies.com/forums/blogs/deaf-woman/incident-sharpened-my-survival-skills-2030/ Thu, 04 Jun 2009 03:48:00 GMT Two years back my close friend from hyderabad invited me for her silver wedding anniversary.

Two years back my close friend from hyderabad invited me for her silver wedding anniversary.
I jumped at the chance of meeting my college mates after a long time and booked my flights online.It was my
first trip alone on a flight and my family tried to dissuade me but i was adamant to go ahead with it
.The D day arrived.My Dh dropped me at chennai airport and I went and boarded the flight without
a hitch .So far so good i thought and niece was there at the hyderabad airport to receive me and take me
home.Had fun gossipping and chatting with our family members and went to the function as planned in the
evening.The next day was my return flight to chennai ,and my friends wanted me to spend that day with them
and promised to drop me at the airport.So i was in the hotel with my friends and got an sms from the airlines
that the flight is running late by 2 hrs .Friends were overjoyed at this bonus time ,we had a gala time .Later I was
dropped at the airport and i directly went to the airlines counter and got myself checked in without a problem.But just
to be on the safe side I kept track of my co passengers in the queue before me.It was old airport at begumpet ,no TV
announcements of flight arrivals and departures as is usual in the other airports.I felt
jittery and started cursing myself for not listening to my family and coming unaided on this trip.Then suddenly a group
of my copassengers got up ,started going to another gate which is very far.That surprised me and I asked one of them
why they are moving.He said boarding gate is changed and we are supposed to go to another gate to board the flight.
My self confidence at a low ebb ,i thought i misunderstood him .So I showed my boarding pass to an airport staff
and asked him where to board .The staff again confirmed what the other co passenger told me .I rushed to the boarding
gate so fast that would have made P.T.Usha hang her head in shame.At last i am on the flight and heaved a sigh of
relief and thanked my lucky stars .I am back to chennai successfully.Kudos to me ,right?what do you say readers? ]]> Deaf woman http://www.indusladies.com/forums/blogs/deaf-woman/incident-sharpened-my-survival-skills-2030/ http://www.indusladies.com/forums/blogs/deaf-woman/how-i-lost-my-hearing-2008/ Sun, 31 May 2009 12:18:12 GMT A visitor to my first blog asked me to explain how i turned deaf,hence this blog.

A visitor to my first blog asked me to explain how i turned deaf,hence this blog.
My hearing loss started due to a side affect of a drug given after my delivery.I noticed loss when my son was 1 year old and ENT specialist diagnosed it as neural loss.Doctor also said it usually happens in older people but not a 25yr old like me and incurable too.So i started enquiring other alternate medicines and an Ayurvedic practitioner offered to cure me .At that time i have only partial hearing loss.The doctor prescribed sirodhaara treatment at home which was administered by him and the very next morning i lost my hearing completely. Then i tried other ayurvedic specialists telling them of my plight and they told me the treatment shouldn't be done at home but in a hospital.A belated advise and now i ended up being totally deaf .As you can expect its a struggle coping with the handicap.My son who was 2 at that time quickly learnt to talk to me and adjusted to my deafness which pleased me no end. ]]> Deaf woman http://www.indusladies.com/forums/blogs/deaf-woman/how-i-lost-my-hearing-2008/ http://www.indusladies.com/forums/blogs/deaf-woman/chatting-net-gave-me-new-1999/ Fri, 29 May 2009 14:09:42 GMT Dear ILites,
This is my first blog here.Fate dealt me a big blow 2 decades back by making me deaf one fine morning.I won't bore you with the details of how and why i became one.It changed my perception of people and their behaviour towards me.So i shunned people and I was afraid to meet anyone outside my family.This state of affairs continued for half of a decade.Then a chance reading of an advt in The hindu about rediff chat ,brought me to the rediff site .I was a novice about chat and its perils or benefits whatever you wish to call it.But when i entered a chat room and can read others talk there just made me feel like a normal hearing person.I got hooked to it and started chatting there.The downside of it is people took me a for a loose woman and started misbehaving which depressed me no end too.Fortunately for me there are some guys and girls who are decent and they have become my friends .Chatting for one hr on the net daily became the highlight of my day.It gave a real boost to my confidence with people treating me like one of them and my fear of people lessened somewhat.After i turned deaf I fumbled to get the rightwords out too in real life .But this chatting experience made me feel better and i started talking normally .Hope i haven't bored you with my blog. ]]> Deaf woman http://www.indusladies.com/forums/blogs/deaf-woman/chatting-net-gave-me-new-1999/
