Miss u EFI

i think i will be more senti tomorrow than today,as its my last day in efi,i dont think i would be comfortable in blogging or brave enough to write that i am geetting relieved today ,Today is my last day in EFI and this cubicle is no longer mine.

I have lot many things to write about this efi,3 yrs back i joined efi ,i had to quit in the middle,then once again i joined back in 2006 ,now once again i had to quit.iam always grateful to this company and if given an opportunity in future ,i would prefer to work for the same.i dont know any specific reasons ,but iam comfortable when iam here ,this is a home at work.

These pics are for my remembrance:

This cubicle is where i feel like sitting in my home :


some times i had a feeling whether iam not capable to work outside ,thats why i stick to the same concern for years,so i tried searching out, i gotplenty of offers with excellent package,but finally efi has won with my poll over other companies.

even though professionally i have not learnt much ,personally i have learned a lot.
iam a person who believes that personal life counts more than the proffesional one.
its more important to me than the work i do at office.
iam not launching any satellite ,where if iam not there some x or y orz could do the same job,much better than me.so if its for money alone , then i would like to strike out the balance between career and sahm.

my prefernce is towards being a SAHM than being a working mom.I strongly believe when iam at home ,it will definetley make some good difference in my child life.
that is what we want as parents.

if compromise is on money then we are 100% ready to do that ,thats why this decision at this point.
i would like to be a Good mother and good wife ,than being a good or excellent performer of some xyz company.

view are different from person to person ,some will say the quality of life changes with double earning,i strongly disagree to that,it depends on the outlook of life u have .Its funny for people who live in a cranked single room with no bedroom also to talk about the quality of life.quality of life doesnt mean the restaurent we visit in the week end or the malls we see when we pass by .

it depends on ultimately what u get out of the life ,if ur happy ,calm peace ful ,then ur quality of life is good ,its not on the material pleasure we get,not by the car we travel,according to me quality of life is judged by the internal peace and the loving atmosphere around us.that aroma should be felt.

Miss u my dear friends

okie today its my mom and dads wedding anniversary day.my wish to god is "Please bless my parents with good health ,happiness and long life"



god Bless

Happy Birthday NANA

This wish is for my nana and not ashus nana.Tomorrow is my fathers birth day and ashus birthday is very close to his birthday and i wish ashu should also be similar to my nana in character and behaviour wise.even my hubby agrees for that.
No exaggeration ,he is a great father and Iam blessed to have him as my father .

He is a man of principles and moral values and have never seen him compromising in the values of life.
He is a busy bee and you cant see him taking a short nap even on sunday after noon for more than half an hour.
He keeps himself enaged busy for the entire day and active participant of the social activities,whether its local temple committe or the Resident assocation.

I have never seen him shouting at people,even when he is provoked he is matured enough to handle things .I have never seen him being tensed the patience he has cant be described in words. my nana never spent money on buying expensive things for him,some times he ignores to buy the most necessary things for him,he feels happy by giving the same to us.

Being a single bread winner of the family ,he gave me and my sis. an excellent education with all comforts.Its all my father and mothers hardwork ,what iam now.


whether its diwali ,my birthday ashus or hubby birthday he never missed to buy dresses and it will be given to us whenever he meets us.

before my marriage for every festival he will get me and my sis. a minimum of 3 dresses ,but he never think of buying a shirt for him.That age we didnt realise his sacrifice ,but now when i think of that ,i wonder ,such a great father i have ,iam the most fortunate person.Touch wood.now the same goes with my hubby ,even he wont spend money for his luxury whether its before marriage or after our marriage.

but now iam pushing him to buy atleast things which are required ,not for luxury ,but for necessity.

so far my nana was thinking abt us ,now his whole concebtration is towards his little grandson.
even we forgot that tomorrow is ashus nakshatra birthday ,my father has arranged for a homamm in ashus name in a temple in chennai.my mom says happily that they were planning to visit the temple at tomorrow 6.00am.i know that palavanthangal temple is quite far for them to reach at this 58 years in this cold weather.
But still they want to do that for their grand son.so the sacrifice still continues.

even my parents opted to bring up aswath in chennai,but we said NO,bcoz its our responsibility and we dont want to trouble our parents in this old age.we dont want to do kudarai savari (escaping from responsibilites)on them .

I dont know how in which way i will repay the things they did or still doing for us.
Only thing i can do God "Please bless my parents with good health and happiness"
They neither need any money nor interested in material wealth ,they have a calm ,peace-ful life and pray god to give the same for the entire life,as they deserve it.

Being away from my parents ,I would have a sense of satisfaction , if my parents were really happy,it doesnt matter if i stay with them in the same house or at miles away from them.

"WISH U A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANA"

ps:i dont think my father will read this blog ,but i would always pray god for my parents health and peaceful life.and wish kadavul (God)will grant the same bocz they are GREAT PARENTS and GREAT HUMAN BEINGS AS WELL.

Tirupathi Darshan

Last year we celebrated ashus first birthday with ayush homam and hosted a party in baghini.this year we wanted to celebrate in a different way by visting Tirupathi on his birthday.
we faced a lot of hurdle last time when we went through package tour so our choice is to do the advance booking and plan as per our convenience and always wanted to be in comfort zone.

so we booked the tickets on nov 2nd at
TTD Information Centre
16th Cross, Vyalikavel
Bangalore - 560 003
Ph:080-3445432/3315361

Reserved my darshan time from Chowdaiah Memorial hall near Shankey Tank.
The counter at Chowdaiah Memorial Hall is open from 10 AM to 1 PM and then from 2 PM to 4 PM. I was surprised to see a long queue and it took 45 minutes for me to reach the counter. Also everyone wanting a darshan needs to be finger printed and photographed in person.
we have booked Archanananthara Darshanam (AAD) darshan that happens at 5:30 AM on all days except Friday and costs 200 Rs.Archanananthara Darshanam (AAD).Its not at all hard to find out things there. Everything gets pretty much obvious once you get there :)
reached tirupathi on 28th morning by train from bangalore and we were allotted room at Sapthagiri which is little far from temple.around 11.00 am ashu and his nana got tonsured and we were left with plenty of time as our darshan is on 29th early morning ,so we planned to visit akasha ganga ,papavinasam and venugopala swamy temple.
we hired a taxi and onthe way we bought a cap for ashu.i liked the one in orange color so without asking ashuof his choice i started bargaining with the shop keeper.
meantime ashu is pointing his fingers on some other one and started saying BOO BOO BOO.
i thought he was asking for a hat with flower as he normally says flowers as boo boo.
but this time its not flowers its the BLUE COLOR CAP.
poor ashu ,wondered how smart to pick the color of his choice in this age and he got the boo boo cap finally.

next day we reported at vaikuntam complex at 4.45 am ,but ashu was crying in that chill weather ,even after wearing thermals i felt very cold and some how managed in the Q.

we had a nice darshnam and left thirumala at 9.30 am ,to catch the airavathi at 12.15am which we have already booked and reached bangalore at 5.15 pm.

its always advisable to book the darshan tickets before hand so that any last minute hurrey burrey can be avoided.

this blog is for my friends who were enquiring of how to book tickets at bangalore.

have a nice darshan.
God Bless
