My kinda perfect sunday

-
After becoming a mom of two kids, my dream for long drive and trips on werkends were vanished. But cleaning the house, back to back movies, staying awake in late nights, waking up on next day afternoon also bored. I don't want a lazy weekend anymore. I wanted a change. I want some refreshment in the fresh air.
Decided!!!!!
Beach!!!!


Yes, Saturday night, I packed necessaries for a picnic. When U travel with a kid, even for 1hr journey, you need to pack like picnic only. Because, you will not know, what is exactly needed, so the minimum back up for food and cloth is a must.
Sunday morning, sharp at 6, we woke up to swipe off the  ⏰. I prepared idly for breakfast and packed it. Me and Vetri had our refreshing beverage coffee. Dressed up the kids and all were ready by 6.30.
We headed to Santa Monica Beach but actually with an intention to stop anywhere comfortable before it. The drive to beach was through mountain roads. Traveling in car with windows down and breathing fresh air made us feel more fresh and energetic. Up and down, curves and bends gave those hilly view a heavenly view.
We then joined a beach road, soon after, we spotted a place to enjoy beach waves. Parked the car on the road side and started to walk carefully on a slope to get on beach level.
Spread the cloth on sand and settled down with peace. Udaya started playing in sand with his sand castle kit. Mithra was very much excited and we couldn't stop her from running here and there. I can't resist clicking their happy faces.
After sometime, I saw Vetri immersed in his thoughts. Waves were keep pleading his knees but he did not take away his eyes from the far ocean.  I did not want to disturb him. When someone interacts with nature, letting them alone is the only favor we can do them.
We had our breakfast, played in beach water and built sand castles. After capturing fresh faces in camera and fresh memories in heart,  we waved bye to waves and left to home.
After getting refreshed, I did not want to spoil my day by cooking and doing other routines. So, we decided to dine out. Had a Mediterranean lunch in Panini Cafe.
After coming back, to compensate our early morning sleep, had a power nap and felt refreshed for rest of the day.
This is my kinda perfect Sunday to be spent with the  family. I can feel the happiness of my kids too.

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,...

What will you answer, when your kids ask about Draupadi?

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 versi...
