A - Z Challenge - Day 5 - Ecstasy.

The feeling you feel that you have never felt before! There were some moments in my life when I had this kinda feeling.

The way back in 1998, when I held the most adorable bundle of love for the first time in my lap. When those tiny fingers of that infant held my hand tight, when it laughed at me without even knowing who am I, when it kicked me with those cute little legs, I had some unique feeling. I was ecstatic when I held my sister for the first time!

Then some years later, when the entire school pupils applauded for me in the  morning assembly! I had won some regional quiz contest then and that was my first inter school cultural participation! I was ecstatic when I was acknowledged for my talent the very first time!

To do my undergrad in this prestigious university was my sim from the age of 15! I had this feeling when I got into it and entered the college for the very first time! It was like a dream come true for me. Though the course I took was not my cup of tea, the place I chose was the one destined for me.

The moment when I realised that I'm going to be an independent woman for the years to come, the moment when I knew that I have made my parents proud,the moment that defined a value to my life, the moment when I was confident about my future, the moment I was sure that hard work pays and all my hardships had come to end,that moment when I was offered job by a well reputed MNC! I had this exclusive feeling at that moment!

My daily prayer to the almighty is to have many more moments at which I could feel ecstasy like the above mentioned incidents!

A - Z Challenge - Day 4 - Desserts..!

There's a famous saying which says, "If you're stressed,have a dessert! As it  is spelled backwards" Yet am a sweet toothed girl who is very much fond of desserts. I used to fill my mouth with some dessert if I am happy,excited,tensed,worried irrespective of my mood.
This post is about six of the best desserts I have ever had in Chennai.

1.Waffles with Maple syrup at Ciclo cafe,Kotturpuram.

The Waffles were spongy and soft. Dipped in maple syrup,it went straight to the stomach. The Maple syrup was amazing that I kept on licking my fingers. It was neither too sweet nor sour. It gave an unique taste.
Chocolate Whip waffles were good too.Yet this was better.




2. Blueberry Cheesecake at Trident,Trisulam

One could feel the flavor of blueberry in each and every bit of the cake. The crispy cake crest, white spongy cheesy cake with the very tasty blueberry sauce topping went very with the blueberry ice-cream. We ordered for another scoop of ice cream for we couldn't control our taste buds. The food presentation was appetizing with a layer of chocolate chip on the top.




3. Gulab Jamun with Vanilla ice cream at Pind, Velachery

 Who would not love Gulab Jamun, the king of Indian desserts?? Hot hot gulab jamuns with a scoop of vanilla ice cream is my most favourite ever. Though I have had this dessert at various places, this place won my heart. Gulab Jamuns gave a strong smell of pure ghee. They were melting in my mouth. I had some 3-4 cups of this and my taste buds felt in love with the dish! The next time, I had it with strawberry ice cream which didn't go well with the Jamuns!




4. Royal Fruit Salad at Fruit Shop,Greams road

It neither tasted like Falooda nor had the taste of usual Fruit salad with ice cream. The odour and taste of fresh fruits mixed with condensed milk and topped with crispy cashews roasted in ghee was indeed a treat for my stomach in the very hot summer. I was reminded of the south Tamilian drink, Jigarthanda, after having 4-5 spoons of it. There was an another version of this which was topped with chocolate and strawberry syrup. The food presentation of the later was not that much attractive as the former.





5. Red Velvet Cake at CK Bakery, West Mambalam

After watching the Malayalam movie, Premam, I not only  felt in love with Nivin Pauly, but also with this Red Velvet cake. A delicious layer of red velvet, topped with fresh cream, again a layer of red velvet was a delight indeed. Both the flavors had a great fight in winning the hearts of my taste buds. We also had lime-cheese cake which was an absolute disaster. I didn't mind as I was totally contented with this dessert!






6. Jilaebis at Sowcarpet.

Every foodie has an abundant love towards Street food. One could find hot hot jilaebis at every damn shop in sowcarpet! The aroma of freshly prepared juicy jilaebi with slight tanginess accompanied with over sweetness  is a great feast to one's tongue!  I could feel the journey of every single piece right from my mouth, oesophagus and finaly reaching the tummy! It was too delicious and appetizing that one would even have some 10-12 jilaebis for his meal.

A to Z Challenge - Day 3 - Coffee Mug!

Black as a devil,hot as hell,pure as an angel,sweet as love....Coffee.... Nothing is better than coffee for refreshment in the universe.
                  It was a fine evening. The sky was at its best. The cool breeze blowing over my window. Marvelous sun set.. And the strong aroma of the coffee.. What on Earth could be better than this.. I peeped out of my window and saw many girls roaming with their mugs,a few with some clumsy savories,the so-called "snacks" given in the hostel mess,some gang chats,some gossiping between them,some romancing with their boyfriend over the phone and many more scenes...
                 Suddenly,this thought flashed my mind.. I spoke to the shiny blue-colored thing which I was holding. "Hey my dear coffee mug!! What would you say about me to my boyfriend??" It cleared its voice and began to speak. It started with a proud tone. "The first and foremost thing about you is your lipstick. Your lipstick tastes so sweet. I know the taste very well as I am kissed by you thrice a day. Your lover will be jealous on me." Now it turned to him and said "Whenever she is tensed,she'll have a cup of coffee. Her tension will be at its peak during her exam times. Yet,I will be very excited at that period. As her tension rate and the amount of coffee she drinks are in direct proportion. More tensed she is,many more kisses I used to get." I blushed crimson then.
                  According to her,"Coffee first,schemes next". The span of time she spends with me depends on her mood and her bed timings. If she wakes at the early dawn,she drinks the coffee slowly by reading the dailies in a very relaxed manner. Her sweet lips will touch me numerously. Both of us will be happy and so will be our day. On the other hand,if she is in hurry to her class,she would finish the entire cup of coffee in a single gulp. I have seen all her emotions.Happiness,sorrow,anger,excitation,depression and many more..
                   She is such a sweet girl that if I were a guy,I would have gone my knees down for her. And I wont ever like her shedding tears. Please don't make her to" It then looked at me and said, "Not to sob often. I don't like you that way. I want your lips to be curved upwards always" And my lips obeyed its words and did so. It then continued with him, "A very good thing about her is that,she never used to drink coffee with un-brushed teeth as it em-brasses me. Please keep her happy round the clock. Know her value that even a non-living creature is crazy on her. Now,I am jealous of you boy!!" It finished its talk with him and continued with me. "Love you VP. And its time for you to kiss me" and winked.
                   I brushed off my happy
tears and kissed it literally. Then I realized that every creatures has its own feelings embedded in them. Having the last drop of the coffee,I smiled at me stupidly for imagining such a way of marketing myself

A to Z Challenge - Day 2 - Breakup.

I swear that
Numerous fights,
And intolerable sleepless nights,
Are happening no more.
My texts wouldn't make you bore.

I don't want to chat round the clock,
Either me to be in your list of block,
I'll keep all the feelings under a big safe lock.

This break up makes me irritate,
Bearing with all your tantrums was my fate.
There's no more room for us to date!

I don't want  us to speak like there's no tomorrow,
And also I don't wanna hit the bed with sorrow.
I don't want you to spend your time with me moon and back,
Neither I want you to search for the midnight snack.
Rather I want that true love and care of yours,which is at stack.

I don't like more this version of you,
For I had been all yours for a months of few.
All that I want is that you who used to mock,tease and make fun of me.
Never even on Earth,I want this fighting spree.

A to Z Challenge - Day 1 - Ambition.

I was trying to reset the password of  my email which was created a decade ago. The security question read "What's your ambition?" I was totally puzzled with that. I don't know what to reply for I had many ambitions in different stages of my life!

While I was doing my primary school, my reply would be "A poet" whenever I was put up with the same question. As I used to scribble some 4-5 lines ending with rhyming words, I thought that I would become a great poet. Grammar was the only subject in which I used to excel with good grades. Yet becoming a professional poet/writer is still a burning desire for me.
As moving to higher grades, Chemistry fascinated me. Not the one that exists between a couple while performing a duet. The one which deals with everything deep. And then, I wanted to become a chemist or a scientist.! I really wanted to invent something and make a new entry to the periodic table. But all my love towards chemistry helped me only to score a good score in board exams.
When I doing my higher secondary classes, an advertisement in the dailies came to my notice. That was about ISAT exam, an entrance examination to get into Indian Institute of Space Technology. My ambition was to explore beyond the blue yonder. I even had a picture of Kalpana Chawla in my wallet. Since I met with failure in the very first attempt, my aim of becoming an astronaut got into vain.
Out of destiny, I was forced to choose Bioinformatics course in my college. My hatred towards biology grew in an exponential way since the day I got into that course. All those four years, I literally survived in Biology related classes for the sake of attendance! On the other hand, I was the topper in programming papers. I loved IT concerned classes and used to listen to the professors with utmost concentration! My ambition then was to get into a bread winning job which eventually got fulfilled. Smiling to myself, I locked my PC and the screensaver read,

"Ambition is believing in yourself when no else does!"

Love!! Truly..!!

It was a pleasant morning. Vidya felt the warmth of the morning sun as she walked towards her office. The cult ARR classic “Kadhal Sadugudu” played in her headphones. As she was rejoicing every beat of the song, she saw an old man carrying bouquets of roses in his bicycle. Fate decided to tarnish this beautiful, the old man suddenly slipped from his cycle and fell down with all the bouquets lying on the road. She rushed towards him to help him pick up all those flowers on the ground and placed them back. After the old man left, she continued her walk. She felt someone following her. Her instinct was not wrong. Turning back she saw him with a single red rose from one of those bouquets and a wide smile on his face. Vidya was shocked at first. Yet she got the rose from him with a cute blush. The whole day his face and that smile kept on disturbing her..

The next evening, she was standing at her veranda and enjoying the sunset with a bar of chocolate in her hand. Some FM station was playing the song “Mental manadhil" from the movie Ok Kanmani in the next room. Humming along few lines from the song, she turned to the other side of the window. To her shock, she saw him with the same wide smile on his face, standing opposite to her house. Her joy knew no bounds. She rushed to the street to meet him. As he extended his hands towards her, she gave a gentle shake, blushing gently.

The next day, Vidya named him “Teddy". She hadn’t bothered to ask him. She loved Teddy bears. They didn’t hurt you, but rather they were pillow to all her tears and smile. As expected, he was waiting for her yet again. On the way back to home she gifted him a nice chain with a teddy pendant for him.
The distance between them vanished as days passed by. His shoulder was her favorite place and her lap was his heaven. They started spending their time together round the clock. He knew all her problems and her dreams. They both had a strong feeling that they have found their right partner. He promised her  unconditional love and she promised him that she can stand against the world with him but can never stand a word against him. This promise was never meant to be broken and would stay forever with him.

The day finally arrived when Vidya thought that she should introduce him to her family. "I need to tell my parents about you. I want to live light years with you. I want to travel miles by just holding your hands. I want to enjoy 1000 full moon light with you. You're my everything. So I'll say that I have found my best half to spend the rest of my life" Having said this she gently kissed his forehead and left to her home that night.


Will he be accepted in Vidya's house? Will they live happily ever after? Stay tuned for the next episode!!!

It's 18+ ..!!

No! It's not literally an 18+ post! Yet it portrays the journey of my life with my most favourite person for the past 18 years!

Who's a bestfriend? 
Is it the one with whom you have lots of selfies together! No. It's the one with whom you've lots of memories together..!
Is he the one who texts you from dawn to dusk? No. It's the one who reads your mind and texts according to your current mood!
Is he the one who says "As long as you're happy, I am"? No. It's the one who says "No bitch! I don't like the way he treats you!" boldly on your face! 

The one who's always there to cheer you up whenever needed without you asking for it. The one who gives clear ideas on everything you do. The one who had already analysed about the pros and cons of something that you have in your mind even before you expressing about it to them. The one who had silently enquired about the guy on whom you've an eye! The one who predicts about the flirting guys and warns you at the earliest! The one who constantly have an eye on you whenever you hang out with them. The one who cares for your safety as their own! 

Every above mentioned thing happened to me with this guy! I have known him since 1998. From being a toddler to a grown up woman, he has been with me during every phase of my life. We have shared everything right from the lunch box menu to career talks. He was the one who helped me out by spilling his ink when my pen ran out of ink and also he was the one who donated the blood when I was in need of it. (I know this is too much. But still adjust yourself as u always do) 😝

Right from my school bus ride to MTC bus ride, he makes sure that I reach the correct destination without any disturbance. He keeps on tracking every activity of mine and prevents the future ill happenings. He's the one who chooses the best for me. Be it a Facebook display picture or a costume to be worn or maybe my future groom! His choice would be the best!

It's said that guys won't accept their sisters/ friends 's love that easily, because they know about a guy's nature. He was the one who figured out the character of the guys who flirted with me. He was the one who warned about a guy with whom I was flirting. Even though our own set of close friends made fun by pairing us both, he was the one politely handled the situation without even getting tensed. Every time when we were put up with the question, " Hey are you guys in a relationship?" his reply would be "Nah! Even closer than a couple! BESTFRIEND " And he would console me later by saying "We both know who we were, we're and we'll be! Don't give a fuck to these idiots " 

It's said that "A guy and a girl can never be friends forever. One would have a crush on the other for atleast once in their life". I guess we proved the myth wrong. To be precise, He's my saturn and am his rings. Adhavadhu enaku 18 years munadi pudicha sani 😝😝 

Happy birthday Bala Karthick :) I know this is too long and not a cup of your tea. Yet I felt dedicating a post for you. 
Cheers to our 18+ many more years of friendship!
