I din't know that I love you so much, until I miss you

-
I have read many quotes mentioning, "value everything that you have, because you may not know when you will miss it". I realized it in your absence. I feel guilty for not honoring you, I feel guilty for taking you for granted, I feel guilty for not giving you much priority.

How can I do so? How can I be that ungrateful to you, when you always helped me and stood supportive. I did not realize that, you are the reason for my peaceful nights and long sleeping hours. I realized it, when I found it difficult to overcome the nightmare of hustle bustle mornings. I could n't start my day without you, and I can't go to bed without thinking of you. I may not appreciated your presence, but remember, my life is not easy without you. It is a late awakening... I openly confess that I can't live without you. 

Idly - My savior, I love you so much.



Due to inevitable situation, my household items were delayed to reach us. However I managed my breakfast with varieties of upma and pongal,  my longing for idly grown up day after day. Even Maggi noodles couldn't help me for that matter. If I were asked about this before wedding, I might have not felt this way. But after becoming a home maker, I got connected to this steamed food very much. As I told before, when idly batter is ready, I can have a peaceful sleep. I snooze my alarm multiple times to extend my sleep; in the weekends, I even turn off my alarm to sleep, because making idly is just a 10 mins job with no added spices and no sauteing. After placing the idly plates into the steaming pot, I am free to have my hot cup of coffee and at the end of the last sip, my main dish for the breakfast is ready. 

I could have bought the dosa batter from store, but that doesn't give me the fluffy idly and of course not economical. As soon as I got my wet grinder back, the first thing I did was, soaking the idly rice with urad dal and I prepared my idly batter. It was so cool to see my batter ready to cook on next morning. Do you think, that I don't miss chutney for idly? Yes I do, but Idly is great to eat with molaka podi too. 

Since my mixer grinder also arrived, my usual breakfast Idly, chutney was prepared with additional yummy combination of medhu vada and sambhar. I am back to my normal life, my kitchen is complete with Mixer grinder and wet grinder, my fridge is complete with Idly batter and my day is peaceful with idly chutney. 

 Idly chutney may not be a show stopper but obviously my day starter. Love you Idly - my savior.

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...
