Happy Retirement Amma

Amma with her memento💖

Amma is retiring after 42 years of continuous service...!!!And that's huge... Isn't it? 

To start working as a teenager and continue till you turn 60... Huge respect for her... She had all the reasons to give up, but she didn't. She can't. She is the one who doesn't have the word 'Rest' in her dictionary. And now, after her retirement, I am sure she will be busier than she was. She will open all the to-do lists that she was not able to do because of her job. But I want to add that even with a full-time job and a family to take care of, she managed to fit in many more things in her schedule... She learned Hindi, Astrology, Yoga, Tailoring, Diploma in EE, Driving and whatnot.... And that too, not for namesake... Whatever skills she learned; nothing has gone in vain. She is that superwoman that we all have heard about in stories and movies... Besides, she never had it easy...!!!

She is our own Iron Lady-The one who fought the world for her family...

Oh, the things you had to go through... 

When Acha met with the accident, we never thought our lives would be the same ever again. But she made sure it didn't affect us, especially our studies. She didn't know how to drive back then, but when the situation demanded it, she was the one who drove Acha all the way from Kochi to Trivandrum for his surgery, all by herself. Who can do all these... Maybe God wanted to bring out all the potential that she has. Hence, he kept on pushing her with events after events. I would have crumbled into pieces long before... 

But she fought and fought and fought...  She is a true warrior. 

Someone who never runs away from reality... She will face everything with her head held high. And she will surely overcome whatever comes her way-no doubt about it.

Amma in front of her office

I wish one day I would at least be half as courageous as you are, half as resilient and hardworking as you are... And as long as I am wishing, I also wish I was as smart and beautiful as you are...😉

Kudos to the most courageous and beautiful woman in my life.👏👏👏

And for her retirement, I have only one wish: that she learns to take some rest...To understand that to take some rest is not to rust...  Sit back and enjoy it for once.


                                                                                                         With lots of love and respect

Oh Kashmir — You Stole Our Hearts, Then Broke Them Apart

  Journey to the 'Heaven on Earth' At airport - just before catching the flight I remember, around December last year, my brother-in-law suggested, “Let’s go on a trip during the summer vacation—either to Shimla or Kashmir.” I agreed instantly, and soon we all decided to visit  Heaven on Earth —Kashmir. Amma in Tulip garden It was tulip season, and the kids had their vacation. We planned to go right at the start of the holidays, hoping to catch a glimpse of some snow as well. Eventually, even our parents joined in as well. We were all counting down the days, and finally, the day arrived. All nine of us woke up way earlier than needed, full of excitement. View of Himalayas from airplane I fell in love with Kashmir the moment I saw it from the flight. The unexpected sight of the snow-covered Himalayan mountains took my breath away. It felt surreal. That one view made me fall in love with Kashmir instantly. And it only got better from there. Beautiful Pahalgam and the Hidden gem ...

           On our cousin's marriage -  11/05/2019 I wished for a partner , who takes care of me and protects me . Who does everything for me as someone takes care of a little girl... But whom I got doesn't do any of these , unless I am really sick!!!!  What he did is he made me capable of taking care of myself, to protect myself , to stand up for myself, to be independent …. And I love him more and more for that... Thank you universe for not giving me what I wished for...  And now I wish, when my little girl grows up she never wishes for the 1st category of life partner … I want her to realize that there is no handsome prince out there waiting to fill her life with full of love and happiness... It's all within us …           On our last trip to Hydrabad- 28/6/2024 Thank you dear for being there for us... Thank you for the endless breakfasts you have made for us , thank you for being the nicest driver instructor e...

Gowri and the Mysterious UFO

It was Christmas Eve, and Gowri could hardly contain her excitement. She had been eagerly waiting for her Christmas gift, but what she wanted most of all was to catch a glimpse of Santa himself. She had sent her letter to him weeks ago, and now, with the holiday finally here, she hoped that this would be the year she’d actually see him. But her excitement dimmed a little when her parents announced they were going to the mall that evening. Gowri was disappointed because she thought that meant her chances of meeting Santa were slipping away. However, she didn’t want to spoil the fun, so she reluctantly agreed to go with them. At the mall, though, Gowri soon found herself swept up in the festive cheer. The giant Christmas tree, twinkling with thousands of lights, and the beautiful decorations around the city made everything feel magical. They took lots of pictures to capture the memories of that enchanting evening. While her dad was showing her a photo he’d taken, something in the backgro...
