Molly and Polly




Molly and Polly were two cows from the beautiful Switzerland. They had come to India on an official visit to meet the members of the ICA(International Cow Association). They had finished their final meeting at the Bangalore center and were tired after the grueling week. Polly felt very hungry and her husband, Molly said,"Moooooo. Wait my dear, I will search for a nice restaurant for us to have our final dinner in India". Polly trusted her husband to be successful in his search.



Molly returned after a few minutes and took Polly with him to a place he claimed to be close to heaven. And all that Polly saw was a big, white tank. Polly was disappointed because it was raining heavily and she had eaten nothing since early afternoon. Molly realised his wife's worry and told her "Sweetheart, trust me, this is the best thing we can ever dream of having and it is just the perfect weather for this".


Polly was a good sport and she went closer to the tank. She saw a beautiful concoction with colourful vegetables. "Yumm!" she thought. Molly explained to her that it was a Sweet Corn Soup which is not traditionally Indian, but was his favourite anyway.


Polly's excitement increased as they sipped the hot soup and relished the different flavours. In the meanwhile the rain had stopped and they managed to get their tummies filled. Molly and Polly, with saliva still dripping down from the sides of their mouth walked to the airport content with their successful visit and a warm, wonderful dinner and a box of Laddus presented by the ICA, India Chaircow.



So until we meet Molly and Polly again, Bon Appetit!

sorry to say both molly and Polly met with an accident on their way back home as an elderly woman who did not have driving licence for her tricycle and caused death to them. unfortunately, nobody could trace the lady so far, so escaped from severe punishment.whoever reads this poor pet's story please pay your respect and mourn for a minute.

The above comment was from my sweet toothed FIL who tried to subtly convey to me that Molly and Polly accidentally fell down and are now RIP in the municipality garbage area. May they RIP ! :(

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...

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...

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 ...
