Thief of my heart - Drabble week - Day 6

Days passed, years passed, they like each other's company 
there is still attraction  between them even after 6 years of their married life
He told her, 'you are thief of my heart', 
She teased him saying, 'heart can't be stolen, don't be silly', 
while smiling to herself and thanking God for her love and luck.

Claws - Drabble week - Day 5

We are afraid of many things which are insignificant.

This is from a mythological story that i grew listening from childhood

When Lord Vishnu tore apart his father's veins with claws in the form of Narasimha,

Child devotee 'Prahlada' praised the Lord and made him cool his anger without being afraid.

Faith removes all fears.

Her Face reddened - Drabble week - Day 4

They are best buddies from childhood

Studied together, played together, enjoyed the company of each other

She saw an ideal partner in him for the rest of her life, though not expressed to him yet

Today, she decided to make things clear between them 

Her face reddened with newly found shyness and strange awkward feeling.

Pet Peeve - Drabble Week - Day 3

Such an ignorant I am, trying to find out the meaning of a new word 'Pet Peeve'
by asking friends and searching online
to find out that it is something which is not a big deal, but annoys you more.
One of my pet peeves is getting scared of using new words in my blog :)

His Last Wish - Drabble Week - Day 2

Born with intelligence, he could convert every penny to Gold with his hard work.

Achieved every success in his life, experienced all luxuries, 

and helped his children to settle abroad leading happy lives.

His last wish was only to see his family at least once

before he closes his eyes in an old age home.

The Broken Promise - Drabble Week - Day 1

She bore in silence.

She always had a hope to make things right.

She tried her best to bring her abusive relationship back to the track.

Atlast, she realized, for the sake of her children and to sustain her individuality,

she has to break her marriage promise to live with him until her death.

Day 5 - Tea - Tea breaks and my language problems

This post is written for A story for a picture challenge by Marathon bloggers.
Today's theme: Tea

Tea breaks are quite interesting in office. In my earlier organization which was in Chennai, whole team used to go to tea breaks. Tea/ coffee breaks are good for relaxation, gossiping, team bonding, teasing other team members, chit chat on silly non-work things and what not?

It's not that iam endorsing Tetley :p

Mine is a different case. I don't know Tamil and most of my team mates are Tamilians and they prefer to talk in Tamil in Tea breaks. Completely justified! We want to talk in our convenient language while hanging up! But, in the initial days, i cannot understand Tamil, so i used to simply stand and try to understand what they say and never used to enjoy those breaks. There are few, who used to translate their jokes and chit chat to English for me, but fun is only when you can enjoy a joke/ talk in it's native language. Right?

After a few months, i learnt Tamil to an extent such that i can understand everything they talk and could speak small sentences too. Fun started then, they used to tease me for my Tamil words and slang :) We used to have discussions on non-work life and it was a good relaxation between work.  It surely helped team to bond well and collaborate with each other :)

PS: In tea breaks, i used to drink hot water in those days, as i had strong feeling that i shouldn't get used to having Tea/ coffee daily :) My parents used to have tea daily and if they miss for one day, they used to get head ache. So, i didn't want that addiction. Silly me, i laugh at my thoughts now. In my current organization, iam having green tea, that's the pic :) Many asked me, how i became this lean so fast, now they know its due to green tea :)

So, this is my chai story.. what's yours?

Until next time,

Day 4 - Shadow - conversations with my kiddoo

This post is written for A story for a picture challenge by Marathon bloggers.
Today's theme: Shadow

Here is the beautiful pic that i took yesterday afternoon under hot Sun with the help of my colleague.

When i think of shadows, i remember funny faces and shapes that we used to do with hands in my childhood for summer holidays. Especially creating shapes depicting small baby, dog, smiley etc. with shadows. But, don't you think, this heart shape is easy to make and looks wonderful? The thought came so quick to my mind, it might be due to the reason that we are completing 6 years of colorful married life in this month :) 

A heart and shadow

Now, coming to the conversations with my 3 year old kid about shadow, here they are:

Kid: Amma what is this black thing on the wall?
Me: It's shadow nanna, if you don't sleep quick, it will come and eat you. See, it's moving. (It is very difficult to make him sleep, that's the reason these tactics are used :)) 

After few months he understood, shadow wont eat him :p

Kid: Amma, what is this shadow doing?
Me: It will do whatever you do dear, tell hi to him, it will also say 'Hi'
(He did so and very happy now)

After few months,

Kid: Amma, why my shadow is not there now, did it sleep? (Btw, it's night)
Me: There should be light falling on you nanna to see the shadow
Kid: Oh, then switch on the light and show me?
(I did, he is satisfied)

Kid: Amma, why shadow is very tall than me?
Me: Shadow's size depends on the angle on which light falls on you baby. (Iam afraid, if he asks more questions technically, i have to google before it :p and tried to divert the topic)

PS:I call him Nanna sometimes, with love

So, the question bank continues like this.. iam getting ready to google out more details.

Until next time,

Day 2 - Streets

This post is written for A story for a picture challenge by Marathon bloggers.

I remember our strolls on New york streets. Myself and my colleague ventured to New york together without knowing anything about what to visit. It was a good learning experience :)

After reaching New york railway station, first thing we did is to take maps of Subway train routes and tourist places from tourism department stall. Our first priority was to visit The Statue of Liberty and it was easy to reach. Next in plan was to visit wallstreet, Empire state building and end our tour with Times square. 

Sky scrappers in New york city

Crowded Times Square

Actually, we lost our way at Wallstreet after visiting the famous bull :) we were searching for the right sub way station to travel to Empire state building. There are maps showing different toutes and tourist places displayed over pillars near signals. We took photo from our windows phone and at last searched for the right sub way. It was thrilling to roam in unknown streets only by reading maps. We loved it though :) So, this is the story behind these pics, got it? 

Until next time,

Fly high in the sky - Day 1 - Fly

This post is written for A story for a picture challenge by Marathon bloggers.

There was a dream from my childhood to fly high and reach the sky. You might have heard the story of Hanuman who assumed the bright Sun as fruit and flied high to grab and eat it :) My dream was not that big, it was just to fly in a plane to some exotic location, basically to travel to a foreign country. 

This photo was taken in a domestic flight when we (myself and hubby) flied for the first time to Chennai for my friend's marriage. Though i traveled to US later, this was my first flight journey and thus most memorable. 

I planned to capture many photos on that day, especially to capture Chennai beach while landing. Unfortunately, our place was nearer to the wing of the plane and so couldn't capture as expected. Excuse me for this bad quality pic :) Every first in our memories will be cherished for lifetime. My first snow fall in US, my first flight journey, my kid first time calling me Amma, each and everything is wonderful. Hope you too have these kind of memories and cherish them for life time :)

Until next time,
