The Wedding- Beautiful story

I read a book The Wedding written by Danielle Steel.I just want to share how I felt about it.

It is a book about a lady Allegra the heroine of the story, her family,her job, her love and all about her. It is a book that can be recommended to people who want real love to be showered on them, by their family and in particular their better half(obviously everyone will want it).

It made me feel, the love we share should be unconditional in any situation. A true love should never be a burden to us. Should be clear in our thoughts when we are going to select our life, never repent on it later.

Love and forgiveness goes hand in hand. Give and take helps us cherish our wedded life. Speak out the problem, never suppress and allow it to burst finally.

If you love somebody stand by them in tough situations never let them down, because it is your soul that is suffering.

Do read the book and feel it for yourself..................

Every penny is your hard work

Bangalore, THE IT HUB is a place full of people with no time. You see everybody busy about nothing. There are tagged people, walking with a shoulder bag everywhere. All food courts, fast food stalls are overwhelming with young people in the nights, is this only during week end? no, all days. Is this healthy for a human? no, so they balance this kind of food habit with aerobics, dance classes etc. Everything is fancy priced here, starting from flower u buy to the house u stay. What is the reason for this garden city to get changed into a polluted metropolitan? IT and EC.
It doesn't mean IT shouldnt be there, but the professionals should reduce there expenditure.
Spend for the right things and at right cost, donot show your account balance by buying something with a high price, when it is not worth.

Think before u Spend even a penny........

In the rain in the Rein Forest

It was a wonderful experience to enter into a thick forest when it was raining heavily. We went to Botanical Garden-Singapore, there were lot of beautiful spots to visit,there were also maintained rein forest.

It was raining cats and dogs, my hubby and myself each with an umbrella, were walking thru the grassland of the park, there were hardly any ppl as it was raining so heavily. As we were passing by ,we saw the entrance to rein forest, I hesitated to enter at first.Then gathered courage and followed my hubby. It was exciting at the same time fearful, it was dark even by 4.

There were huge trees, with gigantic trunk, external roots hanging down. The path was slippery, the only comfortable thing was, u had ropes tied on either side of ur path. My fear grew more, when I found some of the ropes were cut, my imagination blew up, thought of huge animals following us, wavering trees falling on the pathway due to heavy breeze.... My God!!!! I even thought that we would have lost the path. There was a diversion, there were no direction boards, we took one path hoping that it will take us out to the park. Alas after climbing down the steps, finally we reached the park...... I wanted to shout in excitement.... It was such a thrilling experience i had ever had. Soaked in rain and with happiness of grt achievement I left the botanical garden.... Hope to visit that lovely place once again

Batu Caves- Murugan

Batu caves is a Murugan Temple in KL-Malaysia. This is the place where that billa Song was shot.

The Murugan was so huge, with such grace in his face. The statue was so beatifully made, that you will like to see him for long time.Hats off to the sculptures, a extra-ordinary work.

Murugan with the hill backdrop was a awesome view, that nobody will ignore.

The Murugan Sanidhi is in the hill top, you should climb approximately 400 steps to see him, it was actuall a difficult climb for me.
On top, you have small shops selling the murugan statue and other souviniers.

There is the batu murugan in the cave, glowing. There is again a staircase with 20 to 30 steps, on climbing you can see Murugan with valli and theivannai. From there you can see the sky above you, through a huge hole in the hill.

Near the cave is a Venkatachalapathi temple and a huge hanuman statue.

The Batu caves is approximately 20-30 min travel from KL-sentral. You need nearly half a day to spend in this temple, to have a peaceful visit of all temples here and take photos.

I really felt very happy to see My Best Friend Muruga, I am sure you will also feel the same, visiting Batu Murugan.

For Travellers

If you are more passionate about travelling, then do read this post.

I am really lucky because I have travelled a lot before marriage and continuing even after marriage. Here are some of the things to be considered to have a peaceful and enjoyable trip.

Plan the trip with at most care. Initially when you decide for a trip, consult with the people coming with you whether they are really interested to visit that particular place.

Then collect information about the place, find out the places of interest, discuss with people who have already visited the place.

Schedule the trip day vise. Book to and fro tickets.

Look for accommodation in that particular place. There is a website http://www.tripadviser.com/, it has details about all types of hotels in each place, with reviews from public. Find out the best hotel as per our budget and book it online.

With all bookings done, start packing for your trip. Most important things for the trip are travel tickets ,hotel booking details and sufficient cash. Then take your other necessities with ur camera in particular, u see ;pleasant moments should always be captured.

Make a checklist and verify whether all things are taken before you start your trip.

Somethings which should be noted before locking your house is whether gas and other electronic items are switched off.

With your baggage start for a beautiful trip..............

Singapore Flyer

Most of the people know about the London Eye, The biggest wheel, from where people can have a beautiful view of the city.Similarly SIngapore flyer is also a giant wheel, much higher than London eye, from where you can have a breathtaking view of the sky scrapers , ribboned roads, lakes, appartments, play grounds etc.

It is a 35 min ride, per adult ticket is approximately 30S$.We should book the ticket earlier and be there 30 min before ur ride scheduled time.The capsules are large enough to accomodate around 20+ people at a time. After u enter into the capsule, u wont feel that the wheel rotates, beacuse it is very very slow. As u go up, u can see all the sky scraper buildings in singapore city Hall. One side is filled with huge buildings with inter linked roads and other side a calm lake surrounded with greenary. It is an lovely experience........

Go with ur family and enjoy it, it is expensive still a different experience....

Below the wheel, a small garden is created with small water falls..... U can sit there for sometime and have a chat.If u are a fotographer than u have lot of things to be captured..........

There are shops and resturants, so can purchase some thing and return home.........

It is better to take the ride after 5 to see the buildings. If more particular about the lightings than after 8 is suitable............

Never Miss it, if u come to Singapore.. U can have the pride of having a ride in worlds higest wheel.

Creativity

In your free time, u can play with ur photos.There is a software HP photosmart, a superb photo editor that allows you to create scrap books, greeting cards,funny pictures,Calendar, slimline cards etc. Organize ur fotos, with appropriate comments, U can have a wonderful album.... Here are some of my works.

Bintan- Nirwana Garden Resort

Bintan a beautiful island in Indonesia. A place of scenic beauty and peace. It is just one hour travel from Singapore, but it will be just 5 min from the time you start( Is it confusing!!!!!! The time difference between Spore and Bintan is 1 hour, so if u have started by 12 in spore u will reach Bintan at 12.05 , their time........)

There are many resorts in the island, we went to the Nirwana garden Resort; My God!!! the resort area is so large, they have many types of accommodation with different name. As per pay the facilities differ. We took a room in the first floor , facing the sea.Woooow you will see a garden ,swimming pool and the sea, a beautiful scene to be captured in ur camera.

The resort has a lot of activities like water sports, archery, shooting, cycling etc.... We tried a duo cycle, as the road goes up and down, we were peddling with all our energy to return back to resort, it was a thrilling and a tiring experience. Then we went for shooting, My first shot was a success, yup I am an excellent shooter because only the first one was right, all others went into the ground, My hubby was better than me, he was able to hit around 7 targets- a good attempt, all my training.

There are 3-4 pools and there will always be somebody swimming. There are pools specific for kids, very shall ones, then for adults about 1.5 meters deep, you can choose any and enjoy swimming.

If you are an vgeterian, then there lies the problem, you will get only veg pulao, if non-veg you will get all sea foods, hope it will be very tasty( I havnt tried )

I had a wonderful time in the resort, for a much relaxed week end Bintan is The Best place.

My first visit to a 4D cinema

I went for a 4d Cinema in Sentosa an island in singapore. When we entered the cinema hall, nothing was special, u had a huge screen with seats for the viewers.They gave a specially designed glass to wear. I thought it could be a normal 3d cinema and it was; i could see all things close and real. Suddenly my chair was rocking I thought somebody behind me is pushing the chair in excitement, it happened the second time, I even thought of complaining my husband, that the person behind is disturbing, only when i looked at him, I found there was a thud even in his chair, actually it is the 4D effect . There was a heavy blow of wind , sounds of insects heard in my ears, water sprinkled on my face, eveything in sync with the movie.When I came out of the theater I had the real feel of the movie as if i was a part of it. It was an exciting experience.

How was all these effects possible????? there were small speakers attached to each seat to produce the sound close to the ear.A small provision in the front seat, for water to sprinkle. A leaver connecting all chairs that moves to and fro to produce the rocking effect.

My God, human brain is extra-ordinary!!!!!!

I am still a Kid

After marriage there is a thought that girls should be very serious, never laugh unnecessarily, only smile, everything to say that they are married and have grt grt responsibilities, they are no more kids........ I dont understand this logic, just few days before the marriage u are treated as a child, what happens after the second the mangalsuthra is tied.?I do accept after marriage u have additional responsibilities, but that shouldnt take away the child in u.... Take up the new responsibility with grt pleasure, enjoy doing it, don't miss chances when u should be a child, be naughty in ways possible, never put a stop to ur sense of humour. U laugh and make others also laugh..... I am happy to say I am still a kid..... playing with dolls, sometimes in the kitchen with vegetables and grains(cooking)......... Be a Kid and enjoy every moment in life..

Expressions

There are a lot of interesting expressions, that we come across in our day to day life, here are some of them.....

A Cute Laughter

A Keen Look

Observing eyes

My Sizzler

I tried a new recepie yesterday, a very simple one, but different................. If u have idly at home, then u can try it.... Just cut idlies into cubes then add little chillipowder and tumeric powder and mix well. Then deep fry the idly cubes in oil, till it turns brownish. U can eat it as it is or saute onions and tomato with chilli powder and salt and add it to the fried idly, it will add flavour.......
Now u can hve a yummy yummy tasty tasty, sizzler!!!! Try it.

It is she who can create or destroy peace.It is the most difficult role to play, because she should find many ways to make herself busy. It is really challenging to be a housewife,no no ... an Efficient Housewife.
