I could not find a better word to describe my path of life for the past few years.Blame it on jinx , we(myself,DH and DS) have not sustained in a place,to be specific in the same residence for more than 9 months.Very frustrating indeed,either job change or project change we have been moving, shifting things ,packing,buying,settling and then whole process starts within a short period.When i look back my childhood,i had lived in the same place for 23 years,except for one change in house in the same...

Come sunday,I would wait for the newspaper to be thrown in to my home.Not that I am too involved in to current affairs..The eagerness is for the sunday supplement "Vaaramalar" which comes with Dinamalar, a tamil newspaper.Flipping the pages one by one,there I reach for the movie gossips column.The news will be all decoded and given indirectly for us to figure out who the actual person it.
At that age finding it correctly is like a big achivement to boast among friends.The clues...

Video conferencing is a boon to families living abroad to stay connected.Too much of anything is bothersome..This I learnt from my experience.Chatting with my parents with webcam on is not a problem at all.I chat often, not more than 5-10 minutes..inquiring this and that..I need not care about what i wear and about my hair do.
But if its going to be my in-laws ,it causes tension and stress in me.I have to double check myself on my dress and how I look in front of camera.Whole load of people...

It is weird to think that a place made of bricks and cement.. has seen the stages of my emerging woman hood..Which is not my home..It is customary in our family to celebrate the puberty of daughter with close relatives and friends..Lets not discuss the pros and cons of this now..
I hated the thought and idea of this..but due to pressure from elders..a kalayana mandampan of resonable size and price was booked for the occasion.Though we skipped lots of formalities..I was dressed in silk...

Immediately after landing in US from London, we could feel how important is to own a car.No car,no move.I was very disappointed after travelling in the luxury of Britains road and railways which was our car.
After 2 months of search ,bought a car.Toyota camry and withing few weeks my hubby got his license.There is a strange procedure here in DMV(Department of Motor Vehicles),New jersey.A person with a valid driving license from his home country can drive in NJ after passing the vision and...

From birth till the end we breath.We inhale air every moment.Along with it in goes lots of smells.Out of all that goes in I have some smells that brings back memories on any day.
On a rainy day,the fresh smell of damp soil takes me to my school days which was situated amidst nature.I can visualize my self as a school girl sitting in my class and seeing the puddles and rain drops,waiting for the peon to ring the bell.
Whenever I smell the fragrance of washed clothes,I can see my mom drying...
