Back with a bang (Nah not really)!

Okay this note is for me - you did it ! Visiting my blog after 6 years, what was I thinking ? Nothing really,  floating with the waves of my journey. Today I'm penning my thoughts about emotional well being. Blogging after a long hiatus of six years can feel both exciting and daunting. My tips to help ME get back into the swing of things: 1. **Reflect on Your Journey**: Take some time to reflect on the past six years. What experiences have you had? How have you grown and changed? What new insights or perspectives do you have to share? Use this reflection to guide your content and reconnect with your audience. 2. **Reconnect with Your Audience**: Reach out to your previous readers and followers to let them know you're back. Use social media, email newsletters, or other channels to rekindle connections and invite them to join you on your blogging journey once again. 3. **Update Your Blog**: If your blog platform or design feels outdated, consider giving it a refresh.

Self Introspection

In the cycle of universe, when you step back for a minute and look at yourself You will see that you are such a tiny speck in comparison to the vastness of space and the time that universe has existed. What you do, comes back to you. It's all a matter of time, but you certainly reap the benefits of the seeds you have sown. This is the cycle of life. There will be sinusoidal fluctuations (ups and downs) in life's journey. Indian Astrology talks about effects of planetary transits on a person. Planet Saturn transits into our moon sign once every 30 years, and this transit lasts for 7 long years. During this period, the person is faced with harsh realities of life. The extent varies with each person, but the idea is that there is at least one 7 year period where when you look back, you know your experiences, and how they played out beyond your control. The effects during this period can be felt in health, career, relationships which pretty much sums up all aspects of life. Pla

Craft project

It is a beautiful and clear Sunday morning as the three of us chit chat in the living room. It was time to jump into action to do what I love the most - doing creative projects. Archu had to decorate a shoe box and make a card for valentine's day as a craft activity. We used gift wrapping paper, scissors, glue, crayons and markers. Within minutes our craft idea was ready.. A couple of pictures for you. What surprised me.. Archu looked a me and said 'thank you amma' with a beautiful smile, and then gave me the happy hug !

Lifetime Memorabilia

Mission accomplished, finally. It's been my long time dream to organize all greeting cards that I have received from my school days onward till present time. And I am so proud that I have done it ! I have categorized them into 3 areas: Mine before marriage, Mine and Hubby's after marriage, and my baby's (I know, she is only 4). I'm still improvising on the boxes and labeling. Flashback in time - tears came in my eyes in looking at what my friends had written for me 15 years back. I hold them still close to my heart. All of them are on facebook, the only thing that has changed is that we never get to be together, or chit-chat. But nevertheless, facebooking is the medium now. There are few handmade cards, some that have been cut out of color paper, some of them are ready made cards. I have to make sure that time does not damage these cards. So what I plan to do is to scan each of them and make digital copies. Then ofcourse, nothing is 'officially' complet

Keeping up with technology

Presenting my first post from my new tablet - nexus 7. It is a new experience,  pretty neat actually. Now that I have completely made the switch from apple to android OS, I am happy with the user interface, and most importantly Google's android can sync all related items like gmail, maps, YouTube, Google drive, etc. I'm now officially on the go!
