Bye Bye my fiance

-
When I got engaged, Vetri was not tagged as an "American mappilai". He was only looking for onsite opportunity. This is what we knew. Suddenly a week after engagement, in an evening call, he told me that he might go to US in a week. To be frank, I am neither excited nor sad. That was an empty feel, "so, what should I do? inform my mom?". He asked me to do so after a final confirmation from his Manager.
On the next weekend, we both met in our home town. I came exclusively to send him off to US. 
That was the second time we met in same Jalagandeeswar Temple after engagement. That was all our hang out history in "betrothal to wedding" period. I gifted him a fastrack watch, that was my favorite brand. Later in Airport, I heard that he left it back in his room itself. I just gulped my anger and gave a plain look, I was not interested to show up my emotions. After all few more hours left to say bye.

Yes, I went to Chennai Airport with him and with my in laws. we all went to vacate his room first. He shared that room for almost 5 years with 3 guys. It was a 2bhk house in Ist floor. First I thought, no one was at home, but he told me, his room mates were sleeping in the next room. Even my in laws did not care to see who they are. Those guys also not curious to see his room mate's fiance. It might be a late night, still....
Started thinking, is it his room mates' nature - staying together but not peeping into the other one's life. Or his it Vetri's nature to stay together but defining the border line that not to be crossed. 

Chennai International Airport:

That was the first time, I was entering an Airport. Vetri got into another entrance with his luggage. I followed my in laws. After checked in his luggage, he came back to us. we met in a hall with a barricade. I stood quiet when they all speaking. I excused to restroom, so that his parents will have some lonely time with him. Later, they went to rest in lobby chair, we got some private time. Both had nothing to speak. I asked for his contact details, he just assured me to call back as soon as he reaches there. After few minutes, my in laws joined us. Finally we all waved a bye. Of course, my MIL eyes were filled with tears. I felt to console her, but I thought it is common and better to stay calm.

Then, returned back to Vellore. All I remember, was the time I got into the car. I woke up only when we entered our city.  I checked my msgs. Vetri had sent a good bye message. omg, I should have replied immediately. "Better be late, than Never", so I sent,  "take care my fiance, bon voyage, bye bye".

Helpless hands with Eczema

Few months after I got comfortable with my household works, I faced a new trouble in handling my routine. Suddenly I saw new cuts and rashes in my right hand, my palm was red and swollen. Soon, it became worse, cuts on every finger (front & back) with bleeding and pain on finger tips; nails became hard, totally my right hand was changed to look like an Hag's hand.  It might be caused by dish wash liquid, I was new to all kind of household works, so thought, I got allergic to it. So, changed dish wash liquid. But the same problem existed, then I started using gloves for dish washing and applied coconut oil for betterment. No changes.  My right hand looked totally different from left hand. Dish wash liquid was the cause but it impacted in my all other activities. I could n't cut vegetables, because my hand was hard and couldn't get hold of knife, I couldn't cook, the hot vapor brought more irritation to the fissures. Hair wash, combing hair,

You may think, this is something irrelevant to my blog, but I tell you, this is relevant to my interest. Like many others, Mahabharatham is my fav epic and I started reading and listening to different versions of Mahabharatham from my school days. All the time, my perspectives used to keep changing, and every time, I observe something new in it. Then I realized, it is the nature of art, the beauty of any art lies  in the eyes of viewers. The same way, the quality of a literature elevate with the readers and their understanding ability. When I was 13 years old, I was not a bibliophile(still same), but Mahabharatham made me to sit and finish it in 2 days. That was a pocket size mahabharatham with only 150 pages. But I could remember many characters and also seeded the ability of character analysis in me. As I said, when the years pass by, my views on Mahabharatam characters and incidents also keep changing. We all know that Star Vijay and Sun TV also came up with their version o
