New Year Tradition Continues!!!!

1st January 2008 Sujay & Viji dines at the courtyard Mariott's Paprika as Engaged Couples. The dinner is special ,she wears a sleeveless Black polo neck top and her favorite boot cut jean . Her eyes sparkles as she is madly in love with her fiancee!! 1st January 2009 Sujay & Viji are married and it's no surprise Viji is 2 months pregnant -So the new year is spent quietly at home sleeping and whispering each other a happy new year. 1st January 2010 It is a special new year indeed as there is a new entrant to the Sujay clan- Our little rockstar Vihaan Sujay who is just 6 months old is already dining at the PAPRIKA of Court yard Mariott . His mom dedicates her favourite song from MLTR to him - Nor prises for this guess !!! It is the SLEEPING CHILD :-) 1st January 2011 The new year is spent a little different as change is the only constant thing -Sujay & Viji try a new place on the OMR ( sigh -not so great!!) 1st January 2012 Your siblings are there from your diaper days to you start changing diapers for their grand kids . The sibling bond starts with this beautiful year - Akshay & Keerthi joins in the new year tradition 1st Janauary 2013 The new year tradition continues along with our very own brother & sister . And this time it was too good with Vihaan going crazy on the bouncing castle and the adults going gaga over the Flashmob that was very well choregraphed and cutely presented by the entire Kitchen team of Paprika - Hats off to them !! And here i hope & wish the New Year tradition continues even when our family grows and we become old !!

Some scribbles!!!

I cant believe it has been few months i wrote my last blog...wowwww....sigh! That means - i have not connected to myself for these few months. What kept me so busy was usual work chores, the amazing Vihaan's tantrums,school routines and of course some friends and acquaintances who fill your life with surprises & shock Well well well, now back to the blog - i wanted to scribble my thoughts and here i am back - off late , many things have been bothering me .The fact that i realized even your best friend cannot help you when you feel alone and unhappy . There are certain things that only you can help yourself .And that it is better to find happiness from within than to keep seeking it outside of you even when it is very normal that your happiness is completely dependent on near & dear ones. But ultimately, it is you -your own self who makes the decision to feel happy ,keep peace with one self irrespective of what others in your life are doing. This is a harsh reality that i experienced in my recent past life. Anyways, am glad to have understood this better this time and hence i am sure i am not going to let myself get hurt badly ever again. The big question for me always on my mind was how can we think of helping another when you are not in peace with yourself. So here i am working on it -As definitely i want to be there to realize my dream of doing something to the underprivileged but for that i need to be at peace understanding my own life and keeping myself calmer & happier Here is to a relaxed and happy year end .Looking forward to a great 2013 2012 has been unforgettable in many ways -good & bad things have happened but am sure the bad taught me some good lessons So, gearing up for a beautiful brand new yearrr

Welcoming 2009 -Spiritually :-)

I welcomed 2009 but from home :-)
Every new year am outside home -at least for the past five years -it has been that way
I love loud music and enjoy dancing so that leaves me with no option but to get outside home to have some fun .But this year (wonder if marriage transformed my priorities)i was fast asleep when the whole world welcomed 2009 !!

But then it was nice being home for a change & watte day 1st Jan 2009 was ...
It was totally Spiritual :-)

Best part was amma coming to wake me up on the new year's day ...That did not look like i was married ..As how it happened for so many years ..there my amma was sitting in the hall waiting for me to see her ..Really sweet of her :-)

Morning -Visit to Ayyapan Pooja
Evening -Visit to Anantha padmanabhaswamy Temple
Late evening -My Usual New Year's Buddhist Prayer Meeting

All i did was pray ,pray & pray ..

Prayers for myself ,dear ones and of course WORLD PEACE

Marriage has surely transformed MOI :-P
