The Smooth Adventures of SuperH

 Once upon a time in the busy city of Bumpleville, there lived a special superhero named SuperH. Now, SuperH wasn't your ordinary hero. His amazing superpower was making rough things smooth, which might not sound exciting at first, but wait until you hear what happened!


In Bumpleville, everything was perfectly fine until one day, a mischievous villain named Dr. Gravel arrived. Dr. Gravel had the terrible power to make everything rough and bumpy. He turned smooth sidewalks into gravel paths, made soft pillows feel like sandpaper, and even made ice cream filled with crunchy bits!


"Soon all of Bumpleville will be rough and uncomfortable!" Dr. Gravel cackled. "Everyone will be too irritated to sleep!"


Children couldn't sleep on their now-rough beds. Parents couldn't drive on the bumpy roads. Everyone was grumpy from lack of sleep.


That's when SuperH swooped into action! With a gentle wave of his hand, he smoothed out the rough sidewalks so people could walk comfortably again.


"Not so fast, SuperH!" yelled Dr. Gravel. He aimed his Rough Ray at the city park, turning the grassy field into a mess of pebbles.


SuperH wasn't worried. He flew over the park and used his smoothing powers to transform it back into a soft, grassy meadow. "Everyone deserves a comfortable place to play!"


Dr. Gravel grew furious. He decided to use his ultimate weapon—the Super Rough Machine—to make the whole world uncomfortably bumpy!


As the machine started to rumble, SuperH took a deep breath. He focused all his smoothing power, creating a wave of smoothness that washed over Dr. Gravel's machine. The rough edges softened, the bumpy parts flattened, and soon the whole machine was as smooth as butter.


Without any rough edges to work with, the machine just... glided to a stop. It couldn't make anything rough anymore!


Dr. Gravel was so surprised that he slipped on his now-smooth villain boots and landed with a soft thud on the ground. SuperH smoothed a path to him and held out a hand.


"You know," SuperH said kindly, "life doesn't have to be so rough."


Dr. Gravel looked up, confused. "But rough is all I know!"


"Maybe what you really need is a smooth night's sleep," SuperH suggested. He helped Dr. Gravel up and showed him how peaceful the city was when everything was smooth and comfortable.


That night, for the first time in years, Dr. Gravel slept on a smooth pillow under smooth blankets. And you know what? He had the best sleep ever.


From that day on, Dr. Gravel decided to use his powers to create just the right amount of texture in the world—enough to keep things interesting, but never too rough to be uncomfortable.


As for SuperH, he continued to help smooth out the rough patches in people's lives, reminding everyone that sometimes the greatest superpower is making things a little easier for others.


And now, just like the children of Bumpleville who are fast asleep on their smooth, cozy beds, it's time for you to close your eyes and drift off to dreamland, where everything is just right—not too rough, not too smooth, but perfectly comfortable for a good night's sleep.


The end.

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...

It's been 5 years !

I still remember not being able to fall asleep on November 7th 2020. I usually crash and sleep almost the instant I decide to call it a day. But that day, I closed my eyes and was tossing and turning and I just could not sleep. It was almost 1 am the next day when I just about started to doze off when I got a call. A call that late into the night from a family member is always dreaded. I now knew why ! I was told that my Amma was not well and we needed to go to see her immediately. 5 minutes after we started, we heard the news that she was no more. The ride took 40 minutes and still felt like a terrible nightmare. Once I reached where she was, we decided to wait for a couple of more hours before informing our family and friends. At 4am, I started making the calls. Reiterating to each one that Amma was no more. It was the toughest to state it out loud like that when no one ever saw it coming. Just 12 hours back we were making plans of what sweets each of us would make for Deepavali. Sh...

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...
