YerCaud- Away from buzzing Activity

From Bangalore to Yercaud what a drastic difference, from pollutions of all form to peace and serinity.
From Bangalore we took a bus to Salem around 5 hours journey, from there 1 hr up the hill to Yercaud. There is nothing special to see in Yercaud, actually we dint go there for site seeing, it was just a trip to forget all our tension and pressure. For Relaxation taking a cottage in Lake Forest hotel of Indeco Groups is really worth.

The Hotel is Very English, you will get the feeling of getting into British India. Each Room is so unique, each of them have private space, no storeys. Every Room has Potraits of British India, then old modeled Clocks none shows actual time so dont forget to take ur wrist watch, else u will be lost. There are three kinds of rooms- Bangalow suite, English and Royal Suite.

We took a Bangalow suite, were not that happy about it, then they gave us a Royal suite at the same price on our request(It was Off Peak season). Royal Suite was really Royal, beautifully designed King sized Bed, Dressing Table, Dinning Table, sofa ,easy chair etc.There were huge French Windows with curtains, just push them to view a beatiful scenary. Lying in the cozy chair and gazing thru the window at the greenary, I wanna spend all my life there, I LUV it.

We took walk thru the hotel at night, early morning and evening, it was refreshing. Chatting with your hubby, walking thru the pathway, climbing stairs , holding his hands, taking rest on different modeled seats, lying on his shoulders......what else you want, I enjoyed it.....

I wanna go there to have a tea and forget the whole world

To go away from this buzzing city and have a relaxing time with your loved ones, Yercaud-Lake forest hotel is a good choice.

Go Creative with ur Kids

I have thought about this particular topic many time, but only now i am penning it out.

Kids are the source of creativity, it is the responsibility of the parents to nuture it and grow it to great heights.No child is a dull headed when it is born, it is the brought up that changes it.

I have come across some interesting parents who indulge their kids in various activities, that helps them to grow as a better creater and inovator.I like to share some activities that cud be of some use to young mothers.

For kutties between 1 to 3 years
This is the time when they absorb everything wat u do and grow up.So should teach them good things.Teach them words with actions and expressions, over expression is good at some times.Eg: Say Hello and ask them to give a handshake, next time we say hello the kid automatically stretches its hands.Show pictures and tell the names of the flowers, animals etc.Sing some rhymes, alphabets etc, though they might not repeat it, they will always remember.Night time story or a song is very important, it should be a good one bcos it is when the child is about to sleep the sub-concious mind will be awake, whatever you tell them that time will be in their hearts forever and ever.

To impress your child when they are grown; Take snaps of all the mischieve things they do at this 1-3 year, put them in her album with appropriate comments, they will certainly enjoy after some 10-15 years.Record their voices, their cry, laughter at intrevals and preserve them.

Age 3 to 7 Learning age
This is the time when the creativity of the kid reaches peaks, allow her to explore, never stop them.

• Spend some time every day, ask them to draw, color anything they want, appreciate them for it, reward them with small gifts, most important of all is to preserve their work. Pick some of their best art, do a hand frame at home and put it in their room, even hall they will be really happy.
• Make their hand print with different color on a chart, frame it and put it on the wall.
• Do some paper art
• Do some clay models put them on the showcase
• Ask them to design a handkercheif, their t-shirts etc
• Make them learn their lessons with interest, never force them, drive away the fear of exams, make them enjoy learning.
• Ask them to create several albums with different topics, flowers, animals etc, with pictures from newspaper magazine etc.
• Tell them about various musical instruments, and find out the one they like and put them to classes.
• Play with them, allow them to play with other kids only then they will learn to give and take.
• Allow them to do wat they like , just with an eye on them so that they dont indulge in wron doings.
• First of all, to teach values to them, we should follow it.

Enjoy being a parent, first of all we should be ready to learn a lot before teaching them, keep your mind open your kids may teach you that u havent known for so long.

Enjoy Parenting..................................

Is Money Ur Life???

I am quite a joyfull person, want my surrounding always happy, have not thought about this 5 letter word much in my past.
But suddenly everything changed, where ever you go money speaks and not yourself. I am perplexed whether money should be your goal in life, whether I have not understood it.
Can Money replace your father mother ur sibblings? Yessssss..... I have got a chance to know about people who are ready to dessert their own blood in times of need, just to accumulate money. Is this right???
I dont have any comments on it, but one thing, when money enters your mind, peace leaves you.
You will start hidding things, never share your joy with others thinking they may feel jealous of your well being, tell loads of lies ultimately lose the basic quality of humanity.
In the process of accumulating wealth u r running madly behind MONEY and losing all your dear ones as a cost of it.
I wish Money should never rule me in my life......

Sisters-Book Review

Sisters- A Book by Daniel Steel
It is a book to be recommended for all.It talks about 4 sisters who face tragedy and happiness in a year.It depicts true relationship, love and care that they share for each other.
Here the four girls are depicted as the most strongest of woman, who could face reality as it is.
It is more about love for your own blood.
It reflects yourself if you value relations, it makes you guilty if you have neglected your family and gone behind money.
After reading the book you feel happy or sad about your bond with your dear ones............ Actually I felt happy:)

Oscars to SlumDog Millioner

Monday Morning, after finishing all my work by 8.30 AM I sat down to watch the oscars. In past 23 years I have never watched oscar award function.

Why this eagerness??? just to see AR.Rahman get the award and count the number of awards slumdog wins. Each time an award for SM was announced I was so happy and exited. When they called AR.Rahman for original score, that moment i felt as if floating in the air, tears dropped down from my eyes, I am not that emotional usually,but this made me........ Next when the Jai Ho song was sung by him on the stage before top artist of LA, I felt like the entire world is turning towards Indian Cinema, but I realized the fact it is an English Movie with the subject about Slums in Bombay.........

On Tuesday, I read the Newspaper ,everywhere SM and Rahman was there..
Every Page spoke about them, but there was a small thought in the corner of my heart, Anyway it is British and not Indian film. As I was browsing saw a short intreview of Gulzar the lyricst of Jai Ho, the way he spoke about the award and the way he said all credit goes to ARR, I felt Oscar is priviledged to be awarded to such a humble person and ARR should be proud to have composed music for his words......
Though the film is English it is the kind hearts of such people that has brought such huge credits to the Film......
We have wonderful technicians here, who can create better movies, it is we people and the jury of oscars who should appreciate it.

Abiyum Naanum-Review

Abiyum Naanum, another pleasant movie from mozhi Radha Mohan. The influence of the movie is not as much as Mozhi where everyone who watched the film learnt sign language.

Castings in the Movie were good, specially prakash Raj. It is another anicdote for prakash's versatile acting.He potraits a perfect Father who has great love for his daughter.His sense of humour in the film makes everyone laugh heartily, though there are some scenes that are exagerated.It is he who is the sole reason for success.

First half of the movie is so beautiful, it is well taken, each scene depicts the true love of the father over his daughter. The school admission, introduction of the begger are some scenes in which humour is handled in its best. The scene in which mother spills hot water ,shows the blind love of the father on his kid, it is really classic.You can enjoy the movie in its first half, once trisha is introduced everything goes away.

Hype given to trisha and her sardharji lover is too much. At some point it even irritates, us. A person can be good not sooooo good like that sardharji lover(joggi). He speaks with PM, he comes in the television, he adopts all abundant people...... tooooo much. They depict him as THE PERFECT MAN in the world, in the course makes prakash a emotional villan, which doesnt suit.
The second half is too long , 70% prasising joggi, 30% putting down prakash.

It is difficult for a person to sit for the second half, but ok quite good. Radha Mohan should have shown only the childhood of the daughter.......
