Kids are so innocent

I used to tell manikutty that when she lies the next day her tongue will be infected with worms and it will be gone and she used to believe that till recently.

One day she comes and tells me "Ma,Sithara's tongue is still there.I checked it for 2 days.Nothing happened!". First i didn't understand why she was mentioning about tongue so i asked her for the reason.

"Ma ,2 days back Sithara took my chamki's (small coloured stones,sequences which is available in dresses) and she took it home.When i asked ,she is saying that she didn't take.But i saw her taking! Still she lied and you told me no when somebody lies ,their tongue will be gone.So i was noticed her tongue for 2 days.Nothing happened.You are lieing"

That time i understood that i dont have any other options to make her believe me.So i told manikutty that Sithara would have taken it by mistake and thats why her tongue is still there.But i learned a new lesson.

Never ever underestimate your kids.They understand everything.

Bachna ae Haseeno Movie Review

The movie is about a guy Raj (Ranbir Kapoor) and his three love relationships (Bipasha Basu ,Manisha Lamba and Deepika Padukone). I would say the movie was mainly targeted for the guys as you get to see some beautiful ladies on screen.

Movie starts with showing how Raj has cheated Bipasha and Manisha and has fallen in real love with Deepika.Then he realizes that he did a mistake.So he goes back to the girls to ask them to forgive him. Here you can find so many funny scenes which is just put in to fill up the time.After all those hungama ,everyone forgives him and he comes back and meet Deepika who waits for him:)So happy ending.

Really boring movie. I would rate it as below average.

PHOONK Movie Review

I would rate the movie-PHOONK as below average category.

The movie is all about Rajeev (Sudeep) who doesnt believe in god ,his wife and mother who are very religious and two lovely kids. Rajeev is a builder and while putting the foundation ,the workers get a stone shaped like Ganapathi from the work site.As Rajeev doesnt believe in god,he discards the whole thing and everything in his life takes a bad turn after that incident.His kid gets sick and starts behaving in a strange way. Doctors couldn't cure and finally he starts believing that kid is affected by some evil spirit.The ending is totally filled up with the steps he takes to remove evil spirit from his kid.

Though it was a horror movie ,it couldn't do any justice to the same.All i saw was dim lights and shots taken from specific angles.The story was also not a new concept and was giving a statement that science hasn't reached a state where it can solve everything and superstitions still have power.

Overall i would say that i wasted my time in watching the movie.

I am Here

(Answer To My previous Post - Where Am I)

When i wrote my previous post ,i was suffering with Bronchitis and was taking heavy antibiotics for weeks.I lost the hope of even recovering from that state.

Every moment i used to think of some option which will make me healthy.So i started exercising.After one week ,my health was much better.That time i had chat with one of my friend who started learning Kalaripayattu -Martial Art from Kerala.I had read an article before ,about one keralaite running a center in Bangalore.But didn't pay much attention as i felt that i couldn't go inbetween my routine tasks of getting my kid ready for school ,going for work etc etc.

But when i got sick ,i started thinking about myself . Then i went and searched for the address and got to know that they have weekend batches which is actually comfortable for me which doesnt even affect my kid's schedule. But other problem was that whether i will be able to continue?? I also found a solution for this - compel my hubby also to join:) This will make sure that we get some time together and also to make sure that we dont miss the class.

So we joined the classes and we both liked it very much.We joined as it was a good form of exercise.But now we feel that we should continue to next level also.Instructor is also a very nice guy.Along with this,i continued to exercise and now i am happy to say that i am more health conscious now and also none of my previous illness is affecting me. One more good thing is that because we both go together ,we feel so good and get some time together which is out of work and other family issues .Also we dont get time/feel like fighting with each other.

Happy to announce that I lost 8 kgs in 1 month without having any food restriction and only doing 1/2 hr exercise daily.

Thanks to Kalari and our instructor Ranjan Mullarat.

Dr.Horton Hears A Who

Finally after so much of compulsion , my husband agreed to book tickets for the movie and he decided that he would be sleeping till the end as it was a kid's movie and also we booked for the last show on friday-8.15 pm.As usual ,depending on my hubby's prediction that we might reach early ,we started at 7.15 pm for the show.

You know the traffic in Koramangala area and that too on a weekend's..oh it was too much that we reached PVR at 8.30 pm.Already 15 mts over..Movie started at 8.15 itself :( our bad luck..

The movie was too good that we both started laughing along with my kid who was throughly enjoying the funny things which Horton was doing for protecting tiny people on a speck of dust.The way Horton crosses a broken wooden bridge by closing his eyes ,the way he dances when he reaches the other end ,all are so funny that you cant stop laughing.

Really funny movie -enjoyable for both kids and also adults.The graphics is too good. The story concept is really nice.So try and see it once..

Walk Pooling

You might have heard about car pooling ,auto pooling etc.But walk pooling? It's a new concept introduced by Ajay,Sapthagiri and myself.

What is walk pooling.It is sharing foot path for reaching a common destination :) Surely its pooling of a resource.We all start at same time from office and share footpath to reach the bus stop near to viveknagar signal.Then we start bus pooling:) hihi..eventhough we all are going to different places -one to Madiwala, one to Agara and one to Sarjapur Road ,we share a common bus -201 and we find it really enjoying.Also we do a bit of exercise when you compare the health benefits associated.

So i would suggest everyone to start walk pooling as it is really a nice concept which will be picked up soon and we will be the promoters:)

Imagination - Is it Good or Bad

This is all about my kid who is nearing to 4 yrs.At this stage ,they learn from whatever they see around as they couldnt make out whether its good or bad.They also start to make some stories out of the things they learn or see.Some will be extremely funny.

My kid drinks milk on her own and she has a dedicated steel glass only for her use.One day by mistake milk spilled on the carpet and she got afraid that i will scold her.So when i came back from office ,she told me this interesting story

She started like this "Amma ,today when i was drinking milk ,i felt pain in my hands.So i kept the glass on the table.But glass felt so sleepy that it lied down.When it lied down ,milk spilled and fell on carpet and chechi (my maid) tried to wake it up.But it took some time to wake up..by that time the entire milk was on the carpet..nothing of my fault amma"

Instead of scolding her i was laughing loud.She was also happy.

Eventhough it was really funny and the entire imagination doesn't work out in the real world ,i felt good as she started thinking on her own.May be the affect of the stories we tell her every day or whatever she sees everyday.

Also read some of the few points which says imagination is the basis for invention.
Imagination plays a key role in the learning process.A basic training for imagination is the listening to story telling in which the exactness of the chosen words is the fundamental factor to 'evoke.Most famous inventions or entertainment products were created from the inspiration of one's imagination.

So parents ,read out stories to your kids.Get them more story books to improve their imagination power.

New Movie Review - Race

Race is a good thriller movie ..Its not like the normal hindi movies where there will be some love traingle and film revolves around it..The theme is entirely different..

I was not able to guess what will happen the next moment..its all about money and surely they didnt miss any of the item numbers.Surely to mention that horse races were too good and the way they cheat people in the race was amazing and looked realistic..

One thing which i didnt like is the list of double meanings used in the movie which is really bad.There is no requirement to use it but still they used many..

Race is a copy of Hollywood movie - Goodbye Lover (1999).Over all the movie is worth watching ..not at all boring..

My rating would be 3.5

Likes & Dis-likes

When my kid was born and when we were in the hospital few days after delivery ,i was not allowed to put on fan..My mother was totally against it as she believed that it will create problems for my kid..My mom always used to give this reason-She may suffocate as she was there in incubator for 1 week and she may not be used to the same..

I am the person who can't sleep without having fan switched on..so how did i manage..i used to act like i am sleeping and when my mother sleeps i used to getup and switch on the fan :)hihi Once my mother gets her sleep ,she wont get up inbetween..so i got my fan on and mine as well as my kid's sleep was peaceful..

My kid also got addicted to fan that much that in winter also she loves to sleep with fan on and without any blanket:)So unknowingly i formed a habit for her..Whether its good or bad ..i donno

I love watching Hindi movies and hates malayalam movies ..but my hubbie hates watching hindi movies and loves malayalam movies..so how can i make my kid's liking similar to mine..I used to make her sit with me whenever i am watching a movie..and sometimes i tell her the story also..After few movies ,She also started a liking towards hindi movies as she can see good scenary and good songs with mast dances..
So now our likes match ..we both have similar tastes now may be its watching MAD ,hindi movies or doing craft activities..

Most of the things i did was against the ideas put down by elders..I am not saying that you should go against elders opinion what i mean was always hear the opinions and also experiment with your ideas and also ideas you got from doctor or knowledgeable people from your generation..Generation gaps..

Once you get a suitable solution ,use it dont blindly follow anything..

Lesson to be noted :-
1)If your likes and your kids likes match ,then you will have less problems:)
2)All our likes/dislikes are created by us and it doesn't even take much time to change it...You just have to try it with your own mind..
3)Nothing is impossible..Everything is possible..
4) Very easy to change kid's opinion so dont ever forget to set the right way from childhood onwards as it will surely affect later..dont allow your kid to discard some items because he /she didnt like..let them do everything and finally once they grow up,let them decide the path they want to choose as they would have already tasted both the paths and the good/bad about each..

What Is Freedom

According to me ,Freedom is do the activities which i like without having any guilt may be its learning new language ,quit working and start some buisness,learn salsa,Be a certified handwriting analyst or changing my profession to be a phsychologist

Freedom means doing things which i like and not to be bothered about others
Freedom means enjoying shopping without even feeling the guilt of hubby getting bored
Freedom means just do things without much thinking
Freedom means taking decisions which i like
Freedom means enjoy life as a kid not thinking much about the responsibilities
Freedom means telling my opinion openly without much thinking process in the background
Freedom is everything:)

Where Am I

I am not well..A person who hates to take tablets is now taking overdose antibiotic tablets to get cured..What happened to me?As per doctor ,this is a gift from Bangalore to most of the Bangaloreans.

Any solution..ya its there..
1)Stay away from Dust,AC,pollen etc..or
2)Move back to your native..

1st solution is not at all possible in this highly polluted Bangalore but atleast i am trying this for a week..With so much of diffculty i got leave sanctioned as i am having negative balance now.I am just sitting at home taking tablets with regular inhaling and gargling ..Is it worth..Will update it on Saturday..

2nd solution..ya surely its possible notnow..May be after some more years..so till taht time i need to struggle

How can i reduce struggle..
1) Do breathing exercise
2) Every now and then have 2 teaspoon of little warm lime water
3) Take water mixed with 2 pinches of turmeric
4) Reduce stress

Are You Ashamed About Your Disabilities

I had this topic in mind from past one week..Why are we ashamed about our disabilities? There may be some problem with us but does that mean that we are bad..NO NO and NO

One of my collegue had some treatment done to his teeth.He became very consious of the same that he started speaking in a different manner which surely pointed out his teeth problem..Actually he was trying to hide it..But instead everyone who talked to him got the info that he had some treatment done..

So was the acting worth..no..if he would have talked in the normal way.noone would have noticed..not only that why should you be ashamed..

In my case ,I will try to make fun of my disability before somebody could even comment..result..noone bothers to talk about it and finally they get so used to it:)

Dont ever ever worry about your abnormalities/disabilities..most of them you cant even change..So no point in worrying..

It's Raining It's Pouring La ..La ..La..Lala

Hey after such a long time i am back..Was busy with work and also with health issues..Ya becoming fat makes you unhealthy:)so am i going for diet??not yet decided..

One more thing which made me write today...Its raining outside:)After such a long time ..I didnt expect eventhough it was reported in paper to expect a rain today or tomorrow:) I am so happy:)

I love the smell of sand when the first drops of rain touches it..wah great smell...Also you should see the plants when they get first drop..it was happily swaying to both sides..I am able to imagine the smile ,each plant was having on its face..Everywhere you can see happiness...i think even the concrete buildings hihi our flats were happy to get their shower today..Our balcony is full of water ..in one way it looks dirty but still i am smiling as somehow i feel like playing in water:)


Great Great Day:)
