****Happy B-day Momzy!! ****

This is the photo of my very first Sambhar Curry.. (Don't judge by this photo.. It is a very tasty curry.. ) Sambhar is a South-Indian curry and also, my favourite curry..

Today is my mother's birthday.. Ahem! but as usual,  I forgot.. What to do? I'm bad in remembering Birthdays... So, I was late for wishing her happy B-day.. Sorry mom!! My apologies...Anyway, As a Gift, I made her Sambhar curry for lunch.. I'm thinking about making some  sweets in the evening too..
P.S Mom don't like celebrations... She is right coz I also, hate it to some extent....
 ..(Hmm, My uncle ringed up my mom just now, to wish her..Wow!! What a memory Setji! Guess what? Humans are like that , except me)

Anyway, happy B-day Mom! I'm the most luckiest person in the world Coz I had You.......



Not only that, today is my friend's B-day too.. Fortunately, I came to know about it when I logged into Facebook few minutes back.. I have to ring her up.. In sum, Today is Birthday's Day, I guess

Meeting with my Alter Ego...

Last Sunday, was special.. Really special.. My cousin, Sarah, visited my house..She was supposed to come on second-saturday of this month to stay for one day, here.. Thanks to Neethu Aunty! She was taken to my native place.. On sunday evening, She, along with Granny, Grandpa, Mani Uncle, Tonny Uncle, and a sulking Neethu Aunty came to our house...  I haven't seen such a happy reunion for a long time.. I was in cloud nine, literally..

 We were seeing each other after 3 lonnng Yeeears.. Apparently, this long hiatus was causing the starting trouble for the first few moments... Slowly, we started to interact with each other and eventually, it gave away to a lot of gossiping, chattering accompanied by some laughter here and there... We chatted about the weird behaviour of our peers, mainly and the difficulty in adjusting with them.. At times, Mani Uncle would scold us, "What do you know? World is difficult.. You have to Adjust. You will always feel that the Grass is Green on the Other side..".. blah blah

What does he know? Living in God's Own Country is hellish, now.. There are mainly two types of people,
1) those ultra-conservative kids, who always pesters us for not applying oil on our hair and disgusts us for wearing sleeve-less dress.. blah blah
2) The other kind is the snobby mean kids.. Narcissistic, mean, flashy kids who won't even care to say a "Hai" unless your bank balance is sublime..
 And finally, if you find an ambivert person, well, your exploration into the god's land is successful...


Sorry, I veered from the topic.. I was amazed to find my cousin, Sarah, reflecting my character.. Unlike my friendships, this relationship was cuuuute..


 Maintaining a Friendship is like making a cake.. A lot of adjustments, a lot of efforts to get the right proportion of the mixture, a lot of sweat and fights and stirrings over the batter, finally, few waiting moments gives you a wonderful CHOCKOVOCKY Cake.. Hardwork rewarded..

But blood-relation is quite different.. It requires no fights, no adjustments because she is your ALTER EGO.. Maybe, thats why it is special..Thats why Sarah was special to me......

Sarah left by 7pm.. Before leaving she asked me to study well and get in a college in Delhi.. She will be also trying for that.. She said that she would like to have me near her for her future studies...

I was really exultant when you said so.. I want you to be with me, Sarah! Bye for now, but only to See you Later...


With Love..
Myself

My new floaters

It is rainy season in India.. While, North-east is flooding and North-west is drying, God's own country is enjoying the God-given rain.. Neither  too heavy,  Nor too light.. So, for the rainy season, I managed to buy these floaters.. I could only find these shoes.. I wear shoes only.. No, sandals or anything.. So, in the shoe category, only this one fits into the rainy season.. I took this photo on the day I went with mom to post application for ILS College.. It was so heavily raining that by the time I reached half way, my dress was socked in water.. So, I didn't post the application on that day and I Never did..
But I did one thing and that is- I stood in the drizzling rain with the umbrella and clicked a photo of my shoes in the pool of water ..

Wow! meet my new follower (friend)!

Thank You Palak Nagar!!........He is my new follower.. I would prefer to call 'FRIEND'.. This 'follower' word is a bit awkward...I'm a simple, ecstatic,blogger girl..

But Wait,


Hey!  YOU Whosoever-Reading-This-Article!!  don't forget to click the "Join this site" button if you like my voice..Okay??

Fight with mom..bad bad!!!

So, today was really bad..When I woke up in the morning, Mom came with a heap of clothes ,that was left for drying, whining, "Look, I'm doing the jobs that was supposed to be yours..".. The reality was I was going to take those clothes from the hanger ..I was pretty hurt at the comment.. Sulkily, I went to collect the newspaper without a word .. She called me from the behind and asked me to come for prayer.. I obeyed although, my mood didn't light up even then.. (Silly fight.. I know.. But my mind was not prepared to digest a scolding at that moment)... Gone, was my day!


After a counselling session for my mind by myself, I was back to the mood.. Then, I remembered about the spot admission in NUALS (National Law College), which Benthara, my friend, informed me ..I conveyed it to mom and she immediately, asked me to browse about it..I was not at all interested.. Afterall, I'm going to repeat the entrance exam next year, then why should I think about joining in NUALS right now? Just a Waste of Money..


 I started browsing about it and Mom joined me shortly.. Everything was fine until we saw that in NUALS, candidates, who secured lower ranks than me, got admission , but my name was not listed.. DAMN IT!  It bothered me but I was confident of cracking the entrance exam, next year.. So, I was not very anxious but my mom was.. She was very annoyed with "my discouraging attitude ".. The frustration resulted in a silent fight.. Mom shouted, "Can you get out of the seat..?.. I will search the rest..God! how can a person be so pessimistic?.. What a devil am I bringing up?..Just go away, okay?..If possible move out of the house..".. I moved out of the seat, but surprisingly, none of those words hurt me, as it should have.. I knew my mom was right..


In the afternoon, mom decided to go to NUALS and inquire about the mistake they made.. We both got dressed up  and when it came to choosing my shoes, I selected a will-not-be-lasting-for-long Shoes.. I thought it was a casual occasion.. Why should I worry about the condition of my shoes?.. It was looking good from outside...Nonetheless, Mom forestalled me right away, "Do you think it would make it to NUALS..".. "I guess so", I replied unconcernedly..




Mom was right! DANG IT!! When we reached the bus stop itself, its sole came off"... Mom was really ill and adding to that, when she saw this, she was totally irritated.. She asked me to go and change my shoes annoyingly.. I raced back home and wore another casual sandals (which was technically Mom's but thats all I could get.. The rest were  stilletos.. Stilletos for a casual outing?..It didn't digest for me... )..

 When she saw me in her Casual shoes, she was really mad.. "Why don't you care about your dressing?.. Why do you dress like this?.. I am going, okay? Change your clothes and meet me at the High-Court junction (our destination)", she said furiously.. I didn't say a word but I was really really hurt.. I went back home and cried and cursed for a long time.. For the first time I called my mom in my thoughts, " You Woman!".. Forgive me my lord, please!!!!... I said to myself, "I'm moving out of the house.. I won't stay here.. I hate mom"....

I'm really sorry.. I shouldn't have said that...I changed my dress and, of course , stepped into a formal shoes  to meet her..When I reached High-Court Junction, I saw my mom rushing to me with her hands open.. She hugged me and kissed me as if I was a 5 year old gal.. She apologized to me for being angry and bought me, my favourite, Soda Lime..My sweet mom was back after a long interval..


 We didn't go to NUALS but went for a small shopping and after that mom went to her clinic and I went back to my home with a big smile on my face ..All My sadness was Gone with the Wind......

Hurray! My Second Letter also got Published....

I know...How exciting, right?..My second letter to Hindu Newspaper also got published this monday.. Its about moral policing in MUMBAI..My letter is at the last and I have written it in the pseudonym JANE MARY KURIAN. To view my letter, go to-

The Hindu : Opinion / Letters : Why blame police?



Now I doubt if there is any selection procedure for the letters that is published in the newspaper..haha..Nevertheless, I'm happy and I'm going to write articles for the Op-Ed page and when it get published, in other words, if at all it gets published, I will call myself a freelance writer....W.O.W.....Now that means I should be up for a big competition but life is a competition right? So, count me in..

I decided that I would write on the topic 10 ways to be a perfect Indian Snobby Gal..I have started my writing..Waiting to finish it..

Today I have applied for my college admission..I have to go to the bank to remit the fees..Hmm..

By the Way, my mom started her clinic in Vypeen..Today, I'm going to take the role of pharmacist in her clinic...Super Excited..!!!..Oh buddy! but I hope there would be better turnout of patients than yesterday's 4 patients....  

My Letter Got Published in Hindu !!!!!!....OMG!!!

Wow!!! I'm so excited today...Yesterday, I had wrote a letter to the editor of the Hindu Newspaper under the pseudonym JANE MARY KURIAN  and they have published it today.....To view it, go to: The Hindu : Today's Paper / OPINION : Letters to the editor.......Its the second letter from the top ...


I had wrote 2 letters previously..This is the first time that its getting published...Yes, I admit, they have edited it, nevertheless, I love their editing too......This have, boosted my morale to a great extent...I'm planning to write letters to the editor every single day and also, I'm looking forward to write articles to the Op-Ed column too...


I'll explain today's morning...So, I woke up at 7am (very late , I know..)...I got myself cleaned and then, I started searching for my lost earring...Oh! I forgot to tell you about it..


Yesterday night, I went to take shower...When I was doing my usual modelling in front of the mirror, I found that my one earring was missing...I searched for it in every nook and cranny but I couldn't find it...So, back to the topic..


After I got myself cleaned, I started searching for it again, only to be disheartened once more...Anyway, seeing my futile efforts, mom asked me to search after praying...I obeyed...After the prayer, I found my earrings in the kitchen sink..It might have fallen when I was cleaning my face off the facial...I was overwhelmed, to get it back...Then, I collected the newspaper and settled in the new chair to read it...I didn't check the editorial because I had forgotten that I had wrote the letter to the Hindu..When I reached the editorial page, my eyes caught the name JANE MARY KURIAN  below a letter in the letters to the editor column...OMG!!!...I literally screamed with joy......Wow! I was so excited...I showed it to mom...She asked me to write more frequently...


It might not be a big thing to you at all...But this is my first baby and she is special...


Love you, Hindu's Editor (Oh! don't take it in the wrong sense...HAHAHA )

Is this my Character-problem or my Age's Character-problem???

I'm 17 and I'm acting weirdly now. 2 years before, I didn't want to stay away from my home..I was very much dependent on my mom..Also, we had a very good relationship too..But now, things are changing..Our relationship is changing, in other words, Straining..




The number of fights have increased..Unfortunately, all these fights are brought up by myself..Blame me!..The little-little scoldings from her is hurting me so much that I start snapping at her and begins my one-day- full-sulking..Just take the case of today. I came back from my coaching centre by evening ..I had only started going to the coaching centre..When me and my mom visited coaching center for admission, the receptionist told that the classes were on Tuesday and Thursday..Accordingly, I started going to the classes from last Thursday onwards..When I went there, day before yesterday (as It was Tuesday) , I found the institution closed.. So, I thought that maybe it was because of St.Thomas Day..Today, when I reached the coaching centre, my Legal Aptitude's Teacher (I don't know her name) came and asked me, "Were you present in the last class? " and I replied, "Mam, I came on Tuesday , But the instituition was closed"..She quickly said, "Oh! no! you are having classes on Monday and Thursday"..I stood there with my mouth hanging wide open..When I told this incident to my mom, she said, "Can't you atleast enquire about the schedule of your classes".."How can you say that?", I snapped, "The receptionist told me the wrong schedule..What do you expect me to do? She was the only person available to consult about the schedule.."..Then, she quickly withdrew saying, "Now , don't make me the scapegoat"..I was pretty hurt at these comments..She came with me for the admission..I'm sure that I even saw the receptionist writing down the schedule as Tuesday and Thursday....I know she is right at scolding me..What I don't understand is that why is my Ego getting hurt so quickly..Or are all these quarrels sparked off by my ego - like my mom says????...




 2 years back, I wanted to share everything with Mom..Now, I am more comfortable with sharing with myself..I absolutely loathe the idea of sharing my worries with anybody else other than my blog..The theory of Independence just doesn't stop there..I also want a private room or if possible I want to move on to a hostel..The latter is the much preferred idea..I want to spent time with myself..I don't know why I'm changing so much..Yes, I have been through rough times recently and I don't know if that has anything to do with the New- Evolving - Phase of mine... Please guess!!!

So,Whats Cranking???

Whats up, my dreams??

So, the rough time have passed...I'm good and it rains good too, {in here}...Recently, I have been wondering on how to compose a song ...Not literally, a song but An Instrumental Music with Violin taking the Role of the Playback Singer...It would be awesome right ??...Atleast, in the dream...

My Law Entrance Prep

Gosh! I am starting to realise that I don't have any aims in my life..Hence, Now I'm praying to Lord to make me determined so that I could crack my Law Entrance Exam next year...By the way, I have started preparations for Law Entrance..Started going to Law Coaching Centre, called Heritage...Nice class..They didn't provide us with textbooks but they teaches us from the Hand-outs that are distributed in the beginning of the classes.....The teaching is also noteworthy.....I loved it even though my new classmates barely said a "hai" to me .... But one of them, stood out..Her name is Benthara...We talked only little but I think that we could be great friends in the future.....

Maharajas!!!!!  here I come.....

On July 9th, I'm going to apply for Maharajas...The Teachers said that there would be 3 vacant seats and I know I'm going to make it as I have got high percentage in my 12th  grade....Actually, the real issue is how I'm going to blend in???..Last time, when I went with my mom , I heard a lot of whistling ....Its going to be really bad..I'm sure because my dressing won't fit into the Keralite's Culture..Anyway, Lets wait and see......

The curse is sealed , finally.....

God is really kind!!...After we had sent Raju Uncle's money (I'm not going to explain about it), a new cupboard and a bed was bought....My mom is also, going to start a Clinic in Vypeen (an island in Cochin)and for that we are planning on buying some furnitures.....

Miracle!!!!

Miracle!!!...My mom was suffering from Filariasis....She was really really sick...Last week , we went to see an Ayurvedic Doctor and she prescribed some medicines...OMG! my mom thought that she was going to die but , shockingly, she is recovering from the illness ...Thank You Lord! Thank You Ayurveda!
