    The alarm announced 5.00A.M with the repeating suprabhatham tone. After the third round of 'kausalya supraja', a tender hand rose from the blanket, groping for the time piece and Lo 'THUDDDDDDDDD .The clock crashed on the floor still cooing 'Kausalyaa'

    Worried that the sound would awaken all the tired sleeping souls in the haven,
    the slender figure lifted itself with much difficulty out of the bed , silenced the
    clock returning it to its place and hurried out of the bed room .
    The sound of anklets , the cool morning breeze, soft humming of a thyagaraja krithi rendered a musical divine aura to the entire ambience.

    Ananditha , a personification of tradition, beauty, grace making beautiful patterns at the entrance of her house with ease was a sight to behold….

    Her different facets of personality kept unraveling day by day, being an unending source of marvel for none other than karthik , her soulmate of 18 years.

    Theirs was a love marriage, where it was love at first sight for karthi , 2 years senior to Anandi in college. Karthi being inferior to anandi in no way still had a tough time wooing her, as the entire college seemed to go gaga over her versatility, charm and brilliance.

    Win he did, after a lot of suspense and their wedding seemed almost a fairytale , picture perfect , with nil opposition and bountiful blessings from both parents.

    Their marriage reached the zenith of joy with the arrival of Anoushka , whom God seemed to have taken special care to create and was the right blend of both parents.

    Anandi did not fail to notice that anoushka was different from other kids right from an early age. She had a very strong personality, her own mind and different way of doing things. She refused to conform to the standards ,questioned a lot & agreed upon an action only after being fully convinced that it’s the right thing to do.

    The young parents were proud of their daughter and wanted to give her the best in everything. Anandi researched a lot and zeroed in on the best school in Chennai to admit her bundle of joy. Though a bit high on the fee front, they could easily afford it as karthik was climbing the rungs of corporate ladder fast and both were very optimistic about their financial future.
