Sreerasthu...Shubhamasthu

I like this song in the movie - Pelli Pusthakam to the bits for its tune and more over for the meaningful lyrics. Whenever i hear to this song, no matter how many times i heard it before, it still feels fresh and it still gives me a new outlook of married life. My heart beat races up, my all senses wake up, and i look up at life with a new perspective.

Sreekaram chuttukundi pelli pusthakam
Ika akaram dalchuthundi kotha jeevitham

So true, we are not the same before and after marriage. And for those who argue why should we change, I say because you want to share your life with someone who is not brought up in your family, who is not a readymade material you ordered from shop to meet your needs or whatsoever. He/she whom you have married will have some expectations, some values, some views, some experiences, some knowledge, and some feelings that are not so similar to yours and more importantly as long as you think its ME and YOU, you cannot find the way to unconditional love or support. When you cannot change for him/her, she/he cannot also change for you and when you remain as YOU and ME at the end, you are not making relationship work.

Change is inevitable. It’s not that we are changing ourselves and losing our individuality, but we are adapting to the new life package that’s full of pleasures & responsibilities which even our parents carried & we cannot escape from them citing much civilized reasons. Life style can change with generations, Life cannot!

We might have selected our partners on our own because the wavelengths are matching, but remember, still the change and adjustment is inevitable. You choose your partner, not the life. And it all goes by the saying Marriages are made in heaven. Destiny is always same; we are only making our way to where we are destinated to, be it through Love marriage or arranged marriage.


Tala meeda cheyyi vesi ottu pettina
Taali bottu medanukatti bottu pettina
Sannikallu tokkina saptapadulu mettina
Manasu manasu kalavadame manthram paramardham

Again, so true in simple words. Cultures are always different. All these custom traditions tell you some meaning that you got to keep in mind for life time. But even if you do not follow those traditions, it’s so very important that the couple understands each other. Understand the likes, dislikes, values, exceptions, limitations, strengths and focus on getting along with them rather pointing each other. Acceptance, Tolerance, Balance, Trust & Respect are the magical words along with Love.

Adugaduguna toli palukulu gurthu chesuko
Tadabadithe porabadithe tappu didduko
Okarinokaru telusukuni odidudukulu tattukuni
Masakeyani punnamila maniki nimpuko

Who is right always? I say NO ONE. But when one goes wrong, will they accept that they are wrong? First of all, will they even realize that they are wrong? Self introspection helps. When something goes wrong, it’s definitely because one of us is wrong or in sometimes both of us are wrong in one way or other. But anyways to correct the situation, how much does it take to admit? It only takes a feeling of togetherness and the courage to let go the Ego. If every one of us follow the exact terms of the above lines, Life is always beautiful. The Love between both of you should always win over Ego, otherwise Love dies.

Got reminded of one story (Read it somewhere, forgot where exactly, but rephrased to my convenience):

There was a time the emotions Love, Ego, Jealous, Anger & Pain are travelling together in a ship called RelationSHIP and with the imbalance of all these emotions, RelationSHIP started to sink in. Love is always proactive, hence somehow made a new boat and started to shift all other emotions to the new boat to save the lives. All the emotions got into the new boat, but one resists. Love went back to RelationSHIP to see who it is, it’s none other than Ego. Love tried in all its ways to convince Ego to come to new boat, but Ego doesn’t accept. All the emotions scream Love to come back, but It’s not Love’s nature. It stayed back in the relationSHIP not able to convince Ego, after some time the relationSHIP sank. Finally, Love died because of Ego. Ego won over Love, but both of them died in the dented relationSHIP.

There is something more i want to write on this subject, not today, but soon.

Fear or Caution?

Last week one of my collegue came to me and we were on general discussion. she told me that by the time she reaches home, sometimes his 12yr old boy is trying to make soup/omlet for himself. she told me that its horrifying to think if he mishandles it. i was like..aww..right..its dangerous. she kept on saying how much she is trying to stop him from doing such things...and then with the intention to pass on some courage i said...thats fine..why dont you teach him how to ON/OFF the stove and make him aware of precautions & subsequences just in case of any mishap?? that would actually makes him cautious and he is enough old to understand & if you keep on warning just not to do anything with stove, one day or other out of curiosity he for sure tries to test his hands there and at that time having no knowledge effects. Over and above tell him its not his job to do such things, keep a couple of tens accessible to him and ask him to go out and buy whatever he wants if he is real hugry. She sighed...thought for a while and said, yes..thats a good idea and went back to her desk.

My current state of mind

Its really after a long while that i'm writing something on the blog....Why ante, there is no specific reason, i'm like that :)

All of a sudden, now i feel like writing something...but on what??

OK, let me try starting it with my bouncing moods that previous posts talked about. Hmm..i can proudly say that i gained control over them. For good or bad, as usual, i acted proactive and gave an end to everything. after all, i cannot let the little one growing in tummy to be effected by all the negative thoughts that i was carrying before. So all is well on that part.

What else?

Office routine??? yeah...it was no more a routine for me. For a change i became too busy in office. Don't laugh! and don't question me asking how could i write this post if i'm really busy. Come on..its satday. Its just a day out of routine. Otherwise, i have been really busy from past 1 month. The only reason being me nearing the maternity leave. So, all the clients tightened their shoes and cornered me with their priority tasks that i have to finish smoothly before i go on leave. Fine, i think so far i gave the smooth end to all the tasks assigned. And, i don't want any additional tasks be assigned to me at this point of time, so i wrote a simple one liner email stating that today is my last working day (hehe...infact, last working day is 31st Dec, i want to keep myself cool for these 15days) and gave an end successfully there too.

What next??

Current politics??? Wow...a heavy action packed drama happening outside. People who are fighting for United/divided andhra, please don't try to trace & steer your emotions on me. What I'm talking is right. Its just a drama scripted by anonymous writers. How much ever you or i crib, nothing is going to change. Everything is preset. There might be dynamic changes and U turns can take place with the creativity of our over talented writers. But unfortunately, In the world's largest democratic country, a common man has got no role to play in the drama, but remains just as a ploy. The lead players are

- An unemployed creature who does hunger strike with the help of IV fluids in the supervision of highly efficient group of doctors.

- A bada politician & co who wants their burning OMC issue be subsided with all this drama

_ The madam who can just cut the state in to pieces as smoothly as she does with a birthday cake

- The inefficient person who got to sit on CM chair not by choice, but by chance

- The over talented opposition leader who can twist his tongue to 360 degrees on this issue, of course on any issue.

- The poor actor turned politician who does not know any depth of the issue, but makes comic statements like Social telangana. Wonder, even if he knows the meaning of it

- The investors who made huge investments in Hyderabad

- The Media which lost its credibility long back & holds no sense of responsibility over any issue, but only concerned about TRP ratings


After all, we are the ones who buy tickets & cry/laugh along with these actors though we know that its just a scripted one but never real. and knowing even more well that they do it all for themselves and their money, but never for us. So, all we can do now is to keep guessing the run time of this movie and wait for the climax. Hey there..., don't expect the climax be ideal and in favor of us, after all its a political movie. Be ready to watch and digest any disgusting end.


Next what??
Entertainment??? Hmm...the only source of entertainment these days seems to be Sanju. Don't know why, but i don't feel like watching any movie or hook on to any other entertainment source these days. The time that i stay at home, i be either doing home works that sanju assigns to me (Concept of teacher-student) or sleeping or often in kitchen doing some experiments that never seems to be successful or in almost tears with the torture that sanju gives :( Sanju has been really unmanageable these days. Oh God, she became so spontaneous and never funny. Her words are all logical. But some times she tests the extreme boundary levels of our patience. Just cant guess, how way back parents used to manage kids independently that too with many no. of kids. Now Sanju alone keeps me, my mom, my brother, my husband all 4 of us on toes. Hmm, good that schools are there to share :)

Hammayya, rasesa oka post.

This is all for today, see ya later!

Very True

I heard this song so many times, but never thought of writing down the lyrics so i can read it again and again and realize how true the words are.

Today saw them on one of my friend's blog and thought i will get the lyrics from there. Its from Sushma's blog, Sushma...i hope you won't mind.

Movie: Gaayam
Lyrics: Sirivennela Seetarama Sastry

Niggadeesi adugu ee sigguleni janaanni

Its all about you doing it, without thinking how tough it would be..

I learnt a lesson...I learnt a lesson today. Dont ask me if i'm going to implement the learning in my life right away...but i learnt a lesson that i should be reminded each day.

Today, my mom and pinni who came from Vijayawada went to chilkoor. both of them do not know how to go. They have never gone to that place without being accompained by any of us. But this time, they had to, as my pinni did not have time to stay back and we did not have time to take our daily routine to back seat. It takes them to catch a bus by 4:30AM, and then catch two other busses inorder to reach chilkoor. Mind you, its not bus after bus. They have to find a way to reach to those bus stops in between. So, me in my own style suggested them that they hire an auto. My husband with this own style of calculations, suggested to hire a car. My brother, with his unique thoughts, suggested that they use auto for half a distance and then bus to make it economical.
But my mom put her foot down and said that she can make it all through busses. We were little worried, you dont beleive...she made it all in busses. And both of them did not look tired.

You may be wondering, what lesson i learnt. Me, being this young, being this knowledgeble about the city, being this needful to travel everyday, fear that i get tired by travelling in busses to commute to office and i end up spending amount that is close to a fresher's salary. And i name it as cost for convenience.

I think its all about i restart commuting on busses, here the convenience is in mind but not in real.

Where are we heading???

I'm not sure where we are heading now....at one side women are empowered, standing on their strong foot, protecting their individuality. On the flip side, there is a news every day about how women are getting attacked for the reason of not being pet in their hands. When a man says "I want you", women are supposed to nod their heads and say OK. If not, she got to experience how acid burns the skin.


Today i'm literally shaken to read the news that a woman & kid was attacked with acid from that woman's husband. Reason being, she did not go to his place after repetive calls from him. So, he got frustrated and thrown the acid on wife & kid. Can a women do the same to him, when she was pissed off too??? Both wife & kid lost their eye sight. How poor is it? What did that kid do to get punished like that? How can a person be so cruel to throw acid on his very own kid?? Forget if its his kid or not, but, how could he do that on a kid. Who has given the right for him to burn the life of that little child?

There are laws about women empowerement, women safety and so much.....on contrary in reality, there is nothing. On Swapnika & Praneetha's acid case, all news channels, social service organizations made a huge protest, unable to bare that mounting pressure, police had encountered that culprit. But after that instance, how many culprits involved in women attacks got punished?

For every instance, does government expects a big shout & screams, only then, its takes some action? People who have committed these crimes are very much still roaming in this society. They should be locked in a dog house and given with dog food. They deserve it. They have no right to move around like humans. I heard about a case in which women fought for pouring acid in his eyes, by whom she got attacked with acid and lost the eye sight. After 12-15yrs, she got the judgement in her favour. Appreciable...but this should'nt have taken more than 12-15mins. These many years he lived life with full content, while the woman was suffering.

There needs to be a law to punish him right away with no courts & cases. He has DONE IT. Why one needs to know why he has done it??? Why he should be given with choice to voice?? Why cant the law be straight forward? If one attacks on women, there should be a punishment and it should be given right away. No arguments, No case, No delays, just the punishment.. Only then, mothers like me can be assured that their daughters are safe in this society.

Summer!

Don't laugh. I just want to make myself active in blogging. I was thinking today sitting before the system on what to write, and the immediate thing that has come to my mind is this hot summer and its effect.

Godd...Its 41C today. Ofcourse, its not the highest on this summer. But, its hot for me as i think i took all the effect today. I went to office traveling 16KMs at 12PM and returned to another office which is again 7KMs travel. I am planning to return home between 5:30-6PM, this is of 9KMs. Not bad, right?

Sunscreen lotions, cleansers, fresheners...nothing is helping to get rid of summer effects. I wish, we were given a chance to sit back at home and work, having the power bills paid by office, ofcourse :)
Waiting for that day to come!

This summer also coupled another problem that is water scarcity, especially for us. God, its just impossible for our routine to be managed with limited water.

One last and important thing i must say is that this summer is very very special, as my brother is back to India. He just returned 10days back from US, but superrrrr busy all these days with office work. I am just looking forward for the days to have him free at home, so we can play WII, cards, bank, LUDO & many more games. You must be wondering if i was not planning to go office, chill out.., the games are planned to be during weekends.

Huhh...One more one more........You know what, i have my BIL's two kids also here. And sanju is on heights playing with them. Seeing them play together, i remember those old golden days where we used to play karra-billa, kothi kommachi, tokkudu billa, achanagayalu, puli-meka, goleelu, last but not least cricket aswell. so many kids, so many mango trees all around. Once we go out, our parents never knew where we are till we come back. On the way back, we used to surprise parents with little little wounds somewhere on body. Of course, they are reasonable, we used to do a lot of adventures too in robbing the mangoes, fighting with co-kids alleging that they cheated on some game. On contrary here, we aren't even letting kids go out of the compound gate. All the games they play are justttttt indoor.

Power cuts during nights while all elders talk lokabhi ramayanam on arugulu, we all kids used to play so many games like anthyakshari, veeri verri gummadi pandu.....hmmm........i feel like crying now. Today we are just machines, commuting between office and home. That liveliness is missing :)

I'm in no mood to write further, soo, bye for now. catch u later, till then have a happy summer!

Polling fever is over...now its results fever :)

Hmm...its may 14th. just 2 days left out to know the poll results. By this time on 16h, EVMs would have already revealed who is gonna king or king maker. Its strange this time. No one is confident, but everyone is sounding it.

Things are really interesting..
There were heavy loaded dialouges in launching of new party like "we will bring respect to politics, we will give response..but not the resistivity", on contrary we all heard the low class criticizm through its women's wing president. Goshhh....save these politics!

We have also seen the high voltage dramas from babayi & abbayi. Babayi was thumping his thighs continuously, while abbayi has done the same with our brains. Thanks to the accident abbayi met with, otherwise, we would have lost the golden opportunity of abbayi's addressing from the hospital bed. Dialouges were like screamings from lounges, while he was shown not being even able to sit on bed. Abbayi... movies can be logic less, but not politics!!! Hope you recover soon!

During the course of these 5 years, assembly witnessed the worst verbal war that could ever happen. From the most respected person of state, CM, there were words like, "aapavayya, mee amma ninnu enduku kannana ani siggupadela chesthanu"...It was like a faction movie dialouge!

Assembly has also become a place to teach how not to bring up kids, rather discussing the burning issues of state. After all, it has become clear that no one brought up their kids properly. Shame on our leaders!

All these years i was thinking that who could talk good, will be a good politician. But now, all it needs the topping of masala for the sole reason of being in news and attract crowd. What a change! Otherwise, we could have missed the dialouges like, "pavan kalyan, chiranjeevi entha mandini pakkalo padukopettukunnaro swetha pathram vidudala cheyyali". I wonder, if they are available for these kind of matters too. Not to mention, these dialouges are also from an established party's soo called women's wing president. Looks like women are so progressive these days. Way to go, three cheers ladies!

There was a leader who came up with brand new politics theme, doesnt ever seem to be the same on reality. The more simplicity he chants, the more ads we see on television for that party. He criticizes family politics and ask people to rule themselves. But when we go back, we can't see anyone else in that party except that leader, ofcourse, occassionaly his wife. Wait, There is a mass element here too. He cleaned the grounds after another new party's meeting was over and got enough publicity in media. Reason being, he want to teach all the parties about the importance of cleaning the place, not before the meeting but after. How generous? But after or before, i never seen him cleaning any ground. Why? Tired with just one? What an energy?? Lets take him as an example, just tell good things to your kids once. If they listen, thats fine. Otherwise, leave them to their fate. Dear sir, Cheat others, its still fine. Don't cheat yourself!

There is one more interesting thing here...alliances..no no..grand alliances. If this alliance forms the govt. this time, may be the leader has to spend all his time in retaining those co-parties rather concentrating on anything else. Alliance's life time is what the govt's life too. After all, you can't risk on loosing power!

All in all, i think there is no certainity for any party or leader. So, it will be too much on us to expect a stable & people side govt for the complete tenure of 5yrs. After all, its cash politics. Anyway, we have also witnessed how MPs have flashed bundles of cash in parliament. Nothing worse can happen!

All we can do now is chill out and wait for the results!

Sanju's Birthday - Contradictions

Sanju's 3rd Birthday.. - 24th April
This is something that we have been planning since not less than 2 months :)

Its the tradition that we follow to celebrate her birthday with a mid night cake, telugu year cake and evening party cake that follows with dinner. This time one more cake got added that is "School cake" :) In all the occasions we were happy because we could make her & see her happy.

People laughed at us for doing so much of hungama for this...few people have asked me in a sarcastic way on the face that how many years are you going to celebrate it....hmm...its our life...and we want to fill our life with as much possible fun as we could....whats harm for them???

It looked like a pain for them to attend the party..:( I think i'm flaring up. I know that they were thinking that we are doing hungama for silly things and spending money for worthless things...but why don't they try to understand the emotions of others....after all, if its worthless, we could'nt have spent it right?? And every one knows very well how my husband thinks before spending each rupee (I dont mean the otherway)

Anyway, it's evening time and we all are ready for the party. House is full with kiddies (nice to see so many kids at a time, though hard to manage) and the party went very well. One good thing is that the least expected guests have also made it to the party to make it graceful and the dinner we planned for 80 ended up with 140 people attending to it. We were so worried that the food items wouldn't be sufficient, but everything was OK. We had some surplus in fact (chicken curry is an exception)

One bad thing is that i had to attend office the next day in very early hours (read it in my context) The very thought of going early to office itself is squeezing all my zest to move along in the party. I wish i was given with leave next day seriously :) But no choice, we slept off around 1:30AM in the night, and i had to be up by 7AM :)

All in all, Sanju was happy with her birthday celebrations, cakes and gifts, so as we. She already started counting down the days for the next birthday...jaise ma aur dad, vaise hee voh bhee....

Free at its cost

  • Disclaimer:
    This is my personal space & the views here are purely personal. No offence is intentional.

    If you are a resident of Andhra Pradesh, by this time you would have got tired of listening to this “Free” from almost of all the political parties. One party says they give free electricity power for farmers, the other says free money to unemployed and the other one says something else for free. Can they justify that they are the real solutions for the problems?

    Does the unemployed person just needs free money every month? Okay, if it is correct, how long can government keep giving that money? Will the unemployed ever be motivated to work? Can the unemployed ever improve his quality of life with this scheme? OK, they wanted to help them out, but have you ever seen the whole benefit reaching the real intendents? What are the measures you are taking to make sure that the funds are not misused? How much is the burden on government->state->people by giving everything free?

    Free electricity power given for 6 hours to the farmers. I really feel ashamed when I hear this statement and all the political parties are competing to give 6hrs, 12hrs and whole day free. Who needs this all damn? Electricity is the only problem for farmers? Let’s have a look at the problems they have.

    Lack of quality seeds
    Scarcity of fertilizers
    Power cut
    Lack of awareness about modern cultivation methods
    Lack of transport & warehousing
    Unable to get reasonable price for the products.

    When we have these many problems to solve, why are we just behind the free power usage? If you are giving it for free, they can never realize the value of it or end up in misusing it. Instead, make sure to supply quality seeds. Empower them with the ability to find out if they are of good quality or not. Concentrate on power generation, so they don’t have power cut. Not every farmer can buy expensive machinery for modernized cultivation. You buy them and start renting out to them with reasonable prices. Encourage the R&D on this. Let them adopt the new trends in cultivation and attain good productivity. In none other countries, people are at loss in doing cultivation except in ours. Because they are restructuring the methods and getting fruitful results. But here, I personally never saw any thing new here since my grandparent’s age. Pardon my ignorance if I am not right here.

    Basically, no one is interested to presume agriculture sector, because these days it’s a loss making activity. After crossing all the bottlenecks, at end they don’t get right price. It’s because of middle men’s intervention. Farmers cannot spend much on transportation & warehousing, instead they want to sell it off for any price to middle men. What if government come forward & provide these facilities? Of course, not for free of cost, but at a reasonable charge.

    After all, anything that is given for “free” would not be effective. “Free” cannot improve the efficiency; it can only be a burden on government. With the increased burden on government yet no improvement in efficiency, Can you say that state is in healthy position? If any one really wants to see the growth in state or in any sector, the focus should be on improving the productivity.

    Do not give free power, but keep us in a position to pay our bills while making the profits. We do not want anything to come “free”. After all, we are not beggars or do not want to become beggars. We want to empower ourselves with the ability to purchase the things we want. Introduce the quality systems with long term results. Not for the short term goal of vote banking.

Compromise

Hmm..this is one thing where I keep hearing different opinions from different people and sometimes different opinions from same people in different situations.Compromise…..for few it’s something that takes away their individuality, freedom and many more. For others, it gets happiness, relaxation and often good relationships too.

In my opinion..There is nothing wrong. Getting compromised is not as bad as it normally be perceived by large number of people. It’s some thing like give and take policy. You compromise and adjust on something to get something else that you weigh more. Otherwise you don’t compromise, it’s just that simple. So after all, why do you regret for the compromise you made? Why do you keep cribbing that I’m compromised due to this? At the end, it’s your wish. You wanted to let something go for the one you deliberately wanted to let in.
People say there should be a limit for everything. Again, everyone will have their own limits. You set your limit. Choose whether or not to compromise before you do it with all supporting calculations. Once you made it, don’t regret. Don’t crib. Don’t feel sorry. Don’t be self-pity. Don’t feel down. Whatever you make, make it with pride. Be happy with the compromise you made. Enjoy the fruits.


Never make statements like I’m compromised to join in Degree rather to join in Engineering as my parents can’t afford it. There you kept your parents in comfort position. Start liking the degree and try to excel there to reach higher position.

Never regret after getting married to a dark complexioned spouse against your wish to get a fair one. The truth is that you have surrendered yourself to the good qualities of the other. So, start making the life and enjoy every moment.

Never feel self-pity as you can’t buy diamond necklace due to the budget constraints. You did your calculations; otherwise, you would have waited some more time for the diamond one rather the gold necklace you bought now. There is a lot of life before; you can get them anytime later.

For the things you cannot change now, start to love them.
For the things you can change, aspire and work to get the shape you want.

Accept the life as it comes to you and keep smiling in every moment. After all, life is very short; don’t let any single moment go unproductive for you.
