My Secret wish list

            Another creative prompt from my favourite author Preeti Shenoy! – “Wishlist Wednesdays”. Her latest book “ The Secret Wish list” is about to release today. I have already preordered one copy (Author signed copy! Vow!! J).  And, she want each of us to tell our secret wish list also. All know, the list may be indefinite, but she is asking us any 3 of our wishes. And I have started prioritorising my loooooooonnng list.

            I am so attached with my family (everyone does na..?)- my parents, my younger sisters and the youngest one, my brother. I was always happy with my family, it was my world.. But, now, the things are changed a little. Everyone have  grown up, and don’t know why, but I feel some thing is lacking. Is it because I am not a child anymore? I know, I can’t go back to my childhood again. But, I really wish everything will be the same as before. My marriage is nearby, and you know how it feels to part with your family.

         

There is one other person also whom I love the most, admire the most, and make quarrels the most. He was not a part of my family, but now for some years, he too.. a very important person in my life. The person whom I am going to marry. I hope, next year, at this time, we both will be together. I wish, I can give a good life to that wonderful person. Want to love him as much as I can, give him a lot of happiness, and be with him till my last breath.

   Thinking it as a little filmy? But, you know, romance is always like that...

          

  In my school days and college days, I was said to be a studious girl. I never spent too much time for study, but always got some good marks. Thank God!. I was the topper in my study days.. at that time, I was so ambitious about my career. But, I feel, I have nothing done purposefully, to reach where I am now. Its only God’s grace. He had made me gone through the right path always, and I didn’t had to make a decision every time. Bu sometimes, there was difficulties, which made me stronger. The final result was always the best. I wish,I can study more. Now, I want to pursue Ph.D. May be it seems like a greed rather than a wish, I wish very desperately for it. Don’t know, what is left for me. Not sure, if I can do that, when the life’s responsibilities increase. But, anyway I want to dream.... I trust my Lord. He will do the best for me...

            I want to thank Preeti Shenoy for such a chance to tell my wishes. Congratulations and best wishes for her 4^th book and the long list of all the books, that will come in future...

Happy Engineers Day

Blogathon- Count down # 16

Happy Teachers Day..

Blogathon- count down # 26

September 5- is celebrated as teachers day in India, respecting the 2nd  president of India, Dr.S.Radhakrishnan. He was born on 5th september 1888. He was a very good teacher, educational philosopher and a great leader.

       There is a sloka, "Matha, pitha, guru, daivam" (Meaning- Mother, father, and teacher are the same as God).  But now, in the digital era, this has got some change. The new version- "Matha ,pitha, google'o daivam" ( teacher replaced by google). The attitude of students towards their teachers got changed. It is true that, in the current situation, most of the young generation students don't value their teachers or even their parents much. Then how comes the question of equating them to God?. I am not saying, every body is like that, but the things are not like when we were students.

   Any way, I hope, they will understand the meaning of a 'Guru', and there will be a change in the attitude...

   

In this teachers day, I want to wish all my teachers, who taught me in each and every classes, a very very "Happy teachers Day".

Now me also a teacher. Today, my students wished me "happy teachers day" as a chorus. It was nice to hear them together in a 'sing-a-song' tone. They have arranged a 'cake cutting', at the restaurant. Unfortunately, I couldn't attend that. Some of my previous students messaged and called to wish me.  I am really happy for all these...

  I  want to wish my colleagues also, on "our Day"..

  I am remembering my Aasan (teacher-who taught me first  letters). his name was 'Krishnan'. He has taught my father too.. when I was very little, and starting my letters, he used to come daily to my home. He taught me to write in sand spread on a plate. He gave me letters written on 'Thaliyolas' (instead of paper, he used the leaf of some kind of tree on which, the letters are scribbled). He used to bring chalks(that was very rare and precious thing for me), as a gift, when I finish the day's lesson very well. But, as we had to move on to some other place and live there, I couldn't finish studying all the lessons. It was my mother who taught me the rest. I want to thank my Aasan , my Dad and my Mom for everything what I am now...

   I need to wind up now, actually there are some more things to say, but it is very late, and I need to post before the day ends.. so, See you then....

Happy Onam..

My dear ones,
