Today is the first day of my another personal new year and something special about this B'day is that I am at home on my B'day after almost 8 years. As usual started getting wishes from my friends through messages and calls from 12 AM itself.Thanks to my dear friends for so much of care they show towards me.
The day started with a big preparation to get return tickets from native after Diwali holidays.Oops ! could not get tickets as usual in tatkal :(. Then got ready and went to nearby Ganesha temple with Patti. Had a nice chat with two guests who came home and they are very close to heart for mom from her childhood.
Then had nice meals with Vadai and Payasam ( these are for my B'day) and went to thottam to see thatha.
My hostel mate and friend "C" visited home with her brother. She gifted me two beautiful roses ( yellow and peach color) and Gulab jamoon (made by her mom) to me .Both the gifts are my all time favorite and i value her visit to our home than anything .Just day before yesterday i created an account in face book, so many old friends too wished me today through face book.It makes me happy when many wishing me by remembering me on my special day.
If i do a quick rewind of my past B'days i have evergreen memories which i miss a lot now a days.In my school days i used to wait for November to get new dress ( as we get only two new dresses per year, one for Diwali and one for B' day).The day before B'day me and Sathi used to go to near by shop to get chocolates. Appa used to take us to a far temple if our B'days fall on a weekend. As November is a rainy season , almost on all my B'days heavy rain will be there. I use to get upset even today because i can not go to many places to show off after wearing new dress and many times i can not even go to temple due to rain.
During college days we celebrated B'days with mid night cake cuttings and candles.Used to get so many gifts and cards from friends.Hardly we went out for hotels on B'days.
In workplace again cake cuttings and gifts continued along with cubical decorations and B'day questions.
I have got another set of nice friends to celebrate me.
In whichever way i celebrate my B'day I always feel excited to celebrate it as Life is so beautiful and i have got another year to live it.Just missing Appa and Thatha ,but compromising myself that they are with me always to bless me,guide me and appreciate me on my every success and comfort me at my tough times.
I wish many many Happy returns of this day should be there for me.

I helped saving three lives today
Today Jeevan Blood Bank arranged a Blood donation camp @ my work place. It has happened many times even before but just today i took it serious and donated 350 ml of my Be positive (B +ive) for the first time :).
The reason could be one of the following,
1.I just could not forget searching for blood in the blood banks, alone in late night when appa was hospitalized.
2.Amma was donating Blood for thatha when he required blood transfusion often and we could not locate a donor. When amma is bold enough to do this at this age, why not me?
3.I always afraid of injections and when appa and thatha were forced to have so many injections and was given constant drips,got swelling in hands i wanted to feel the pain they felt.
So i went to the camp today to donate mine.
They did some basic testing like my Hemoglobin count, weight , BP and i was declared, i am strong enough to donate blood. They asked me to fill up a form giving various health details.The actual donation process took 7 minutes to collect 350 ml of blood.After the donation is complete i was given some eatables to make me refreshed. I was very comfortable other than slight giddiness which was okay after filling my stomach with a juice.
There was nothing to worry as i thought. I felt proud when i did it for others.
When you get a chance pls dont hesitate to donate yours if your are fit.
Actually when helping others we are helping ourselves too by ensuring that we still stay fit to donate.
The only thing you should ensure is , the instruments they use is sterilized, and they dont use our blood as commercial.
Will you do it ?

Peepli Live
Peepli Live - It was a pure coincidence for me to watch this movie on Aug 15. Without no clue i watched the movie. The movie talks about the perspective of the poor farmers towards the government plans which are planned for their welfare and how the media people uses the situation to increase their TRP rating instead of seeking a solution when a problem arises. Though it sounded like a comedy film at the start, it was not actually. At the end of the show we could agree that it is the hard truth in real life too.
After watched the movie I could not resist myself to think of it, “Will this movie bring in some positive changes in real?”
To my surprise after few days I read an article in times ofIndia

Hats of to the entire team of Peepli Live who has brought the actual scenes on the screens.
If possible watch the movie once. I can guarantee you that you will entertain the movie though it carries a heavy story.
Many thanks to my friend who made me watching this nice movie.

அப்பா...
எப்படி எப்படி
எல்லாமோ
தன் பாசம்
உணர்த்துவாள் அம்மா
ஒரேயொரு
கைஅழுத்தத்தில்
எல்லாமே
உணர்த்துவார்
அப்பா...
முன்னால்
சொன்னதில்லை
பிறர் சொல்லித்தான்
கேட்டிருக்கிறேன்
என்னைப்
பற்றி பெருமையாக
அப்பா
பேசிக்கொண்டிருந்ததை...
அம்மா
எத்தனையோ முறை
திட்டினாலும்
உறைத்ததில்லை
உடனே
உறைத்திருக்கிறது
என்றேனும்
அப்பா
முகம் வாடும் போது
உன் அப்பா
எவ்வளவு உற்சாகமாக
இருக்கிறார் தெரியுமா
என என் நண்பர்கள்
என்னிடமே சொல்லும்
போதுதான் எனக்குத்
தெரிந்தது
எத்தனை பேருக்குக்
கிடைக்காத தந்தை
எனக்கு மட்டும் என...
கேட்ட உடனே
கொடுப்பதற்கு
முடியாததால் தான்
அப்பாவை அனுப்பி
இருக்கிறாரோ
கடவுள்..?
சிறுவயதில்
என் கைப்பிடித்து
நடைபயில
சொல்லிக்கொடுத்த
அப்பா
என் கரம் பிடித்து
நடந்த போது
என்ன நினைத்திருப்பார்..?
லேசாக என் கால்
தடுமாறினாலும்
பதறுவார் அப்பா
இன்று அவர்
தடுமாறிய போது
அருகில் நான் இல்லை...
அம்மா செல்லமா
அப்பா செல்லமா
என கேட்டபோதெல்லாம்
பெருமையாகச் சொல்லி
இருக்கிறேன்
அம்மா செல்லமான
அப்பா செல்லம் என.
எத்தனையோ பேர்
நான் இருக்கிறேன்
எனச் சொன்னாலும்
அப்பாவை போல்
யார் இருக்க முடியும்..?
நானும் காட்டியதில்லை
அவரும் காட்டியதில்லை
எங்கள் பாசத்தை...
இருந்தும் காட்டிக்
கொடுத்த கண்ணீரைத்
துடைக்க இன்று
அப்பாவும் அருகில் இல்லை..
அம்மாவிடம்
பாசத்தையும்
அப்பாவிடம்
நேசத்தையும்
இன்றே உணர்த்துங்கள்
சில நாளைகள்
அவர்கள் அருகில் இல்லாமலும் போகலாம்...
