A woman alone can create and destroy the foundation of human race... The courage, the strength and the power SHE has is what holds all that's around in its place.....
Don't respect her but acknowledge her..
Don't fall in front of her but stand with her...
A well knitted warmer of Love.. She is a mother, a sister, a wife, a Daughter... SHE IS YOU.. nd SHE IS IN YOU..
HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY to all my GIRL - FRIENDS.....

Those days when Salman khan ,Prabhu and even MGR was known to sing through SPB is over... those beautiful songs will forever be caged in the cassettes and CDs.. nd no more in a person...

RIP SINGING... SPB...😪😪

Onam has been a ceremonial celebration for malyalees across the globe... but the current circumstances forbade us from enjoying but tat doesn't mean I stop making memories... u stop teaching ur culture .. u stop accepting ur traditions because these are a part of ur identity....
U can run from it ... u can hide from it ... u can love it... u can hate it... but u cant ignore it...

I am a hindu... I accept the vastness that my religion tolerates.. . I live and let live... I enjoy and let enjoy... I am a social being... nd for my survival I need the support of all.. I am not hindu phobic.. i am not islamophobic... but I am DEMON nd EVIL phobic.. I am antisocial phobic...

The only DEMON king we respect is visiting my state today... nd I am going to welcome him.. with my KIDS... he deserves it..

Maveli naadu madangiyalum manushiyar elerum onnu pole...

Happy onM.. may this be special for all of my beautiful followers...

when social distancing was not a fad...

When selfies with strangers in costume was not a crime....
when gathering was not restricted by numbers...
when one could see another smile .. when closeness was cool....
when holding was affection...
when make up was done for full face ... when fair nd ceremonies was a thing ...
when mask was UNmasked. ...

Not complaining I am a responsible citizen I understand these restrictions are for the safety of the community...
But major missing is also a thing..

International yoga day....

I am not a yoga person.. I am more of a pilates person.. but having said that just because I love pilates.. it doesn't mean i hate yoga..

The society we live in today and media we follow all has this habit of manipulating things in such twisted way.. that even "jalebi" is jealous at times..😜

When yoga day was declared I remember alot of our so called self made self proclaimed "rebels" ( oh plz dont get offended nd rebel at it..🤪) had a huge cry over the fact that this is absurd and some even laughed at it.. obviously, we accept any thing and everything western (acceptance is not bad but belittling ones own is sick) but when we have something of our own its laughable...and then there was a religious angle ..

okey now that's the most absurd of all.. some media made it a point to make yoga hindu or rather give it a religion .. nd suddenly muslim community won't do it because it's not theirs.. but this most stupid thought their basic prayer has yoga poses (bad with yoga pose names I wouldn't dare name them with out proper knowledge) .. but the fun part is it's not the community that resisted (because they never a had a problem ... why would for an exercise form ..anyways??) it's the "divide and rule and make money" media..

How much hate or the feeling of creating hate is brewing in each of us can be measured in such topics and how we choose to react..

So to get out of all the negativity.. let's all devoid of caste creed religion region and what not all.. take long breath...
INHALE...
EXHALE (wont throw away the villain but atleast we breathed....)
ZINDA HO TUM... guess that matters.. ( ps.. I still love my pilates..😁)
Proud to be Indian... birth place of such a beautiful from exercise
Happy happy happy international yoga day

Depression takes another soul...
RIP Sushant singh rajput

I am amazed at the effect corona has bought into our lives . Not just tat it has confined all of us in our spaces with limits.. but does hav the ability to squeeze our feelings and thoughts and all that into the limited space it created..
Among alot of things it had showed us.. corona has bought tis part also to light tat we are lonely even when we have people around us.. even when we talk to people all the time.. even when we are in social media..

The only solution I found after a long time of pondering is.. " FIND YOURSELF A PURPOSE , A GOAL, A HOBBY, A PASSION NOT JUST A JOB"

Like Sonu Sood, Vikas Khanna, Azem Premji, Ratan Tata....
These are the people who are doing for the society if u feel you are down look around , these are desperate times nd does require desperate measures.. if u can afford do tat, or else u can always do "sram daan",.. do something.. keep doing it with al your heart.. so no one thinks anything depressing.. do so much work that at the end of the day you are so tired that all you want to do is to sleep ...
Being happy all the time would not be feasible but working all the time can be... extend your support to the health workers or police or district administrators... if you are at home with family.. stop being a couch potato.. be with ur ppl... talk to them any thing.. they will love you nd may be you will also realise you love them too...

Killing is not an option but to reason with a depressed person is impossible.. but atleast that will keep their mind off till help is found...
RIP. .. is all we can do at the end.. nd remember that person can't her you or read ur post after he/she has gone..
Make heard b4.. TALK.... KEEP TALKING.... THIS IS THE BEST TIME TO TALK...

Some days back I posted this on my fb page.. with an intention as pure as it cud b.. I am not a bigot here , over the Corona scare.. but if nebody noticed my page I hav shared such posts asking to boycott or reduce chinese products from a long tym..

But today a so called friend of mine asked me which fone I used to post this.. the answer is samsung galaxy A50 I bought last year from Delhi airport IG3 terminal chrome store... now apart from the fact tat it was manufactured there.. the rest of the revenue is going to the indian government.. the exports, the airport duties nd so on..
It's not the answer, it's the question.. how social media or otherwise ppl manipulate ur thots.. many a times I hav had arguments with my peeps.. trying tell them to think straight as its written.. not as u read it..
Now about the clarification.. as any person with basic commonsense I understand tat tis will not(boycott) happen in near future.. because the are a lot of things they manufacture that we need.. nd alot of brands from other countries have given contracts to China for manufacturing.. because of their low labour cost.. (eg. Samsung its korean) nd that cant to disputed.. because business in the end of the day is business.. but phased removal can b done.. for example.. now in our country during deepavali (the largest diya festival in India) the are ads nd talks nd debates to buy from our local diya makers to help then survive.. nd ppl including me.. hav done tat last diwali... decorated our house with diyas only... chinese gained a lot of the market by selling LEDs.. nd India shines now because of those.. pocket friendly while buying nd while using..
Basically every indian household definitely has LEDs.. just stopping imports one fine morning will eventually put us in dark.. the idea of the post was not tat atall..
I am from kerala.. we are largely a consumer state.. we highly depend on tamilnadu and karnataka for vegetables nd likes.. when there is a slight dispute all we care about is the vegetables.. what will happen if they stop.. during this lockdown times.. mangloru closed gates even for the cargo transport nd patients.. even after the PMs notices.. there were long debates.. courts included (it was all over the news.) My point here is that's exactly GRADUALLY might happen to us and they might control our economy and why make a counrty that is constantly at a dispute with us in borders nd in waters make money out of us.. we are 1.3billion imagine the revenue the market INDIA alone gives them..
Hope my friend understands.. to take a post as it is.. and not make everything personal..

I am responsible for my thots.. not ur understanding..

Plz do share if u had similar experiences..
Remember not to loose cool.. because that will make u weak and u might stray away from your point into their MISunderstaning..

A very good morning to all my beautiful readers... 😀

I know I have been unresponsive for a long time.. I hav to admit.. I had a hit a writters block.. nd I believe its because there was no right kind of inspiration around me to write about..
But of all days today after a long time I finally found a topic very inspiring and adventurous to think about.. will be posting my work in a day or 2s time.. please bear with me...

Mean while.. a gentle reminder this is a very personal blog.. as the name it's suggests an indian woman s perspectives of daily things around her and things that matters her.. that's exactly why I won't b choosing a particular topic but a bouquet of worthy things to talk about..

So, it's a request .. no name calling or belittling or bullying here.. its a platform I created to grow my knowledge by aligning with all you positive people's experiences nd thoughts .. so let's grow as a community of cilivised human beings nd not b the citizens of land of CRABs.👍

So there is nutrition day happening at my booboo's school 2mrw.. nd I get all worked up thinking what to do.. especially with the torrential rain happening in kerala for past 5 days going out to buy things is near to impossible.. also whn u get the news by 5pm .. now comes mama's bright idea.. let's do lentils.. Awesome !! The best thing was it was easy peasy I did things exactly as I did when I was a child and we were taught bout difrnt food at school... experience well paid
So happy that for the first tym I realised how my lessons are helpful for my kids..
The best part was everything is sourced from home.. best of waste.. basically all recycled super proud of myself
