i had what you call a perfect day....going to school for spring fair, coming home for chai, going to park and playing with my sweet loves and taking that evening shower with cold water....then eating dabelis and kachoris for dinner and as if it couldnt get better, saw chamber of secrets and drove home in the soft cool breeze alone and listening to my fave song tha ti posted in my last post and setting to watch to Gulabi an old telugu movie....i'm feeling good. thank you god, for letting me have this day....xoxoxo, muaah!
another song that i like the flow of music of these two songs...
Like silent storms that go unnoticed, like a drizzle that brings a quite relief, I think of coming here and sharing my experiences.
There are some people you meet and you'll never be the same, soemthing shifts in you, something about them inspires you, deepens you, gives you this silent strength, you want to be a better person for having known them.
(As i'm writing this, rim jhim girey sawan is playing and the beautiful sunset is gracing me ripping through the open blinds) -- though i'm not in a good place in my entirety, i appreciate this moment... the sound of tania babbling in shower :)....
i digressed i see that.
Back to the topic ....meeting or just knowing that kind of person. Now imagine that person, the feeling you get and awe you feel....i had that few weeks ago, except its not a person, ya totally not even close to anybody i know.
Its a place, its a life, its the sun, its the sand, its the waves.....its safe to say something in me moved. Though we rushed and planned this vacation, this place has given me the gift of seeing it, living it and being there. But as strange as it seems I'm in love! totally in love with a place. I take the name of the place with love with awe with sweetness....Mayakoba, Playa de Carmen. I saw the rich and poor side of it and i feel calmer for knowing a place like that exists...its my place now in my heart.
.....this was few weeks now.... i'm mesmerzied by this song....pls listen to this song, linku :)
Love loe love this song... listening to it at 1.40 am and letting it take me away!
its a remarkable evening....kids are sick, im spent, im alone, my mind refuses me, i sit alone in the garage....
and i hear the sound of breeze....then in a surreal moment my mind is engulfed in the beauty of the music of it, the leaves falling down on the dark moon lit street, the leaves rustling....i feel awake. i feel alive, im touched by the beauty of this summer evening.
it felt like the breeze was sharing its secret with me and at that moment i stepped out to listen to it. i know what you mean i said and i breathed deep.
I inked my baby with a marker! he loved it so much, just before heading to school, i wanted him to have a small piece of me with him. Our madness! Muaah...xoxoxoxoxo
Hi India,
I love you. more now than ever. Im happy now for all that you let me experience. You stripped me out of the zone, and i forced myself to push to accept all that came and didnt come to me.
this is how i started to document my trip to india, but due to distractions from kiddos, i couldnt put it all in perspective in a way i really like to. So some of my highlights of my trip are:-
The drives back and forth from home to hyd in toyato innova. Loved spending those 8000rs. one way, just me my babies, the driver who rather not be disturbed, the long dark highways, the cotton fields, the marble tall huge hanuman, the relief of reaching choutuppal, eating lunch out off tiffin boxes, riding with irphan twice. taran and tania sleeping holding hands.
Taran spending time with yuva, my brother and my bhabhi. Thier late nights, the drives that my brother would take us on and treat for ice creams late nights, at the scoop "bundies" on the road side, blaring music of Challa from JTHJ. the running race in the parking lot between Taran, bhiaya and yuva. Taran hands down won their hearts.
Taran's trip to alankrita with yuva.
Taran making friends with Sai Teja, Venu, and some other kids. Few of them are the security guards kids or the maids kids, he'd invite them to play on his psp, his ipad, which was fine by me. It was like opening doors of experience both ways, they loved playing with him, and he picked up some good tel-hin-english accent. Super cute.
My mom and him playing and fighting over badminton, biryani. My chacha bringing loads of chicken and shrimp for him.
The party hosted by V's parents for the kids and by my mom in eluru for them was awesome.
The trip to jabeen's home where we met the entire family of my chacha, was great. The mosquito bites were something to be remembered and forgotten when compared to the yummy delicious food, the fish fry my chachi is famous for.
The trip to RJYfor dad's literary event, was the topping of the cake. It was hosted at newly renovated Mahalakshmi hotel which is now La Hospin. I cant rave enough about this place. Total bang bang boom. Met my childhood classmates, teachers. Thanks to jagan (who just recognizes my voice even before i say who i'm) for sending his "guy" to pick up V from RJY airport in madhurapudi. Meeting Rami Reddy, Sai, speaking to rani, to moina.
Going to the orphanage to distribute the books, combs and cookies, with Taran was nice.
Riding my dad's activa, was very calming. It was like having him around. Remeber the accident that guy who fell while i was crossing the street. it was so funny, i gave him a piece of my mind.
I took taran everywhere,

going to zoo with rekha, zara and carl;
