7 Days of uselessness

                   This is the thing I kept pondering today..What have I become this week?It has been seven days since my mom and sister went out of station and my home has become completely quite except for the chit chat I have with my dad once he comes home late at the night usually after 10.30. So practically I have mastered the art of washing,cleaning & cooking which I find quite boring and annoying when my mom is at home. Everyday I wake up and cook something and I rejoice at the fact that I've cooked something eatable.All these days I had skipped my morning walk, my reading habit and most particularly my practice of reading my subject daily has become a long forgotten habit. Not because I was busy, Simply because I've become super lazy. So that's it.. It was so easy for me to fit into the new routine. Even if it was not acceptable, it was adaptable. As a human being, this is the most dreaded phase, changing and fitting into someone else's shoes and forgetting our own style. Fitting into a routine is an ultimate disaster.I Think about Monday mornings..That says it all! Have I ever welcomed Monday with open arms? Have I ever tried to change that? It was so easy to curse Mondays than practically putting some effort to change that. I had big plans when I came to know I'm gonna be home alone but all that plans had vanished in  thin air..One good thing that came out of  this is I've created my own blog, which I always wanted to! So this only one so called accomplishment(putting one step forward) makes me forget all my mistakes as usual. I've got 4 more days of being alone at home. Should atleast put some effort in making myself useful. Let me first dust and retrieve the books I borrowed for reading.

Confidently,
Aswini

Thoughts while stirring the kesari on my mom's birthday!

 One of the best books I have read is “My Father Baliah.” Baliah’s son narrates how his father raised his family through education. It is a simple book on the legacy of a father and the ordinary things our parents do that shape our lives and the people we become. I remember reading the last chapter of the book on my Kindle while on a train. The book ends with Baliah being taken to the grave, and I cried thinking about my mom. I thought to myself that someday I should write a book titled “My Mother Tamilselvi.” The thoughts reappeared when I was cooking kesari on my mom’s birthday. That is the only dish she would consistently prepare for all our birthdays. We used to tease her that she couldn't cook anything else, and she never bothered to prove us wrong. Though I may not be close to writing a book, I thought of writing down the thoughts running through my mind while stirring the kesari. People usually credit mothers for delicious meals, but to be honest, I do not remember any of he...

An exciting mystery that is Lepakshi

If you are someone who prefers to be away from the city for a while, but also wants to explore how the ancient cities used to be, you might find the ancient temples of medieval times interesting. Here is one such place where ancient architecture meets scientific mysteries. Lepakshi is a village in Andhra Pradesh, secluded from the hustle and bustle of the cities, but, well connected with them. First things first. What is Lepakshi: Legend has it that, this is the place where Jatayu fell after a failed mission to rescue Sita from Ravana’s clutches. Rama saw the mighty eagle lying on the ground miserably and said “Le Pakshi” which translates in English as “Rise, bird”. The main attractions in Lepakshi are the Veerabadraswamy temple and the world’s biggest monolithic Nandi which were all built during Vijayanagara empire times between 13 & 15 th century A.D. What to see in Lepakshi:     1. Veerabadraswamy Temple.      a. Kalyana Mandap A ma...

Mrs. America Settles The Aged Question Of Why It Is Absolutely Normal That Women Fight Each Other, But, Throws New Questions To Today’s Women.

Ever since mankind was born, men were at each other’s throats; invaded territories; indulged in wars that ripped the world into fragments; divided humans based on superficial hierarchies like race, sex, caste, etc.,; did not even spare splitting families over property disputes and others, yet, we never dare to label them as “men being men’s best enemies.” But, one woman talks against a woman, the society goes great lengths to ascertain that women hate each other. As Gloria Steinem says in the recent Disney + Hotstar miniseries, Mrs. America , “They have found the perfect smokescreen to hide their chauvinism-women.” It is true that women need to fight together to uproot patriarchy. But the unfair obligation to always be nice to each other, is yet another unreasonable expectation shoved down our throats. Mrs. America settles this once and for all, of how normal it is for women to dissent. After all, feminism has never been ONE supreme way of achieving equality. There are inroads that ...
