Life is good

There are days when I feel low and wonder what I am doing with my life.
And then there are days like today. I am upbeat. I have completed all my work. I am organized. I am focused. I am unbeatable :)

I have so many things to write about. How smart and sensitive my son has grown up to be.
I could write about wedding preparations for my older brother's wedding in December.
I could write about my excitement to welcome my sister-in-law into our family...officially.
But not today. I am not going to write about any of that. I am talking about that elusive attitude that I must inculcate. Will Power. I wish I knew how to tame that beast.

Even right now, I am trying to tame it and ensure that I have something to post here.
Distractions everywhere, and I need to try harder to focus and get work done. 
Willpower, I have tamed you today. I have managed to write something. What should have taken five minutes has taken 30 minutes today. Not a great track record, but better than zero minutes, right?
Maybe I should install an app to help me Blog via my mobile too. Or maybe that would be a bad idea. The family will think I spend way too much time with my mobile. And there starts my long list of excuses for not writing for the next couple of days! :) 

Watch out and let us see whether I can write as regularly as my poop schedule. :)

The loss of a friend !

My Father-in-law was not the typical FIL who was distant and would not interact with his daughter-in-law. Well, initially he was like that and then he warmed up to my presence and opened up to me. Over the last few years, as we spent a lot of time together, as we were all living in the same home, he became my close friend, mentor, guide and my biggest cheerleader. He was born in Shimoga, grew up in Amrutur with his aunt, started his family in Sagara and eventually retired into Bangalore. 80+ years, he has had the most enviable life. Don't mistake it for a rosy life or a life with no issues or problems! He was one among 11 - 6 boys and 5 girls. He was the 2nd child and as his mother had more children, she needed help raising the kids and so she reached out to her sister in law to take care of him in Amruthur - a farmland. He grew up under the care of his aunt and love from his cousins, who were all girls. He would eat fresh food from the abundance of the farm and also drink milk so...

June - Doctor/Hospital month??? Is this the start of a trend?

 June 12th 2014, I went for a regular scan to my Gynec - 37 weeks into my pregnancy and was asked to go for an immediate scan, that followed a suggestion to get admitted right away, and then surgery was scheduled the next day. 28 years on earth and I had never been admitted at a hospital for anything, not even typhoid or chicken pox! And here I was hospitalized for 11 days, 1 pre-surgery, 10 post until my son recovered from jaundice ! And that's the end, I thought !  June 4th, 2022, I was out shopping with my son. My previous blog posts detail the ordeal and how i was again hospitalized for a week for concussion and surgery to my face for bruises. A plastic surgery that didn't change my "beauty".  Cut to June 16th 2023, a couple of days ago, woke up with a sharp, shooting pain, like contractions non-stop and ended up getting admitted, drips and pain killers not being effective, to rushing to a scan that helped find the root cause - Hemorrhage of cyst in ovary. Sounds ...

My Wheels!

  April, this year, my better half took me to a car showroom and we just ended up booking a car for myself on my birthday. Best gift ever! Though I made the transactions, him making the decision on the car and taking me there was very special. I had not pursued driving at all since I received my DL in 2004! Close to 20 years later, I have suddenly found confidence and the enthusiasm to drive. I learned in Chennai and often would take Appa's car, but it was his office car, so was always scared of any potential damage. Then my husband's car. His parents always used to worry about the tiniest damage on the car and that was excuse enough to not gain confidence in driving his car. So, a year back, I had decided I had to buy one for myself to gain confidence. I am now wondering why I didnt do it any sooner!  I am loving my new wheels and I love how I managed to drive 35 kilometers in just a day yesterday! It's a month since I got my new car and my confidence is high! This was als...
