Diary of a Granny
Diary of a Granny
I am blogging for #MaxFreshMove activity at BlogAdda.com. Are you?
Its sad truth that our children got busy in their life and don’t have time to think of their parents. I was not educated, neither my family customs let female child to step out of home and purse education. Moreover, I had a responsibility to look after the younger ones - four Sisters and one brother. My childhood was jam-packed by washing the dishes, clothes and taking care of my siblings. Yet, I loved every bit of it. . .
I was married at an early age of 18. My husband died when I was 24. After that, I raised my 2 sons single-handedly. I worked day and night at brick kilns and breaking stones, pilling up and carrying it to the top of the building. I get Rs.200 for a week. It was more than enough to cook variety of foods for my sons and gift them occasionally. I never got dress or things for myself. My owner’s wife, offer me the used ones. The Oxford English Dictionary contains 171,476 words, but I knew only 2 words. "My Children". Yet, I loved every bit of it. . .
One of my son is an Engineer now and another son is a Doctor. My first son, Babu got medical admission through merit, whereas my second son Shiva got less marks in his SSLC. Hence he got into a private college. Paying both their hotel fees, college fees, entertainment fees, project fees were as hard as breaking a stone with hammer. But my determination helped out in paying out those fees. I got debt from my relatives and from the owner whom I worked, with a hope that my sons would pay back when they earn. Now, both my son earns in lakhs, but said they are not responsible for the loans and debts I took. My elder son was even smarter and said, it was his hard work which made him to earn in lakhs and not my hard work or sacrifice or determination. It didn’t hurt me; since I had age and determination I thankfully worked after that to settle those debts. Yet, I loved every bit of it. . .
Before few years, my first son invited me to London to take care of his grandson. I roared in joy on hearing the news, but it broke when I overheard my son conversation with my daughter in law that maid and babysitter are costly in UK and I was appointed free of cost. I was content and did my maid duty flawlessly by cleaning the house, toilet and cooking and baby sitter duty by flooding my grandson with loads of love and affection. I was punished for showing too much of love on their son. As they felt, my love towards their son would cause a gap between them and developed an insecure feeling. I hid my love in front of them. When they reached a phase where they can handle further, I was sent out of the home. Later, I got a call from my second son and the story repeated. Yet, I loved every bit of it. . .
Previously when my son goes out on a business trip, I was invited to help them at house hold items. But now, my son feels I am an incumbrance. He feels that, I had become too weak and old and will not be able to do any work. I don’t want to burden my married son, so I came to this old-age home. It’s not painful. Its gives gratification to see both my sons busy in their life and I love every bit of it. .
My home age Chairman promised that there is an event planed tomorrow for World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) and the chief guest are the terrifying Dancer Allu Arjun's and magical Anushka Manchanda. Their dance and songs would makes us forgot our pain and I will love every bit of it…
You know, my grand son dance like Allu Arjun and my grand daughter sings like Anushka...
Yes, I miss my grandson...
Yes, I miss my granddaughter..
Yes,I miss my son..
Yes, I miss my daughter in law..
Yes, I want to see them....
Oh, seems like the event arrangements are going on.. I will also join to help them.. Yet, I will love every bit of it....

Love after Break-Up
I am blogging for #MaxFreshMove activity at BlogAdda.com. Are you?
Love after Break-Up“No, I am not coming”
“But…Why?” Ganesh asked with a confused tone.
“I have a client meeting on that day.” Ganesh got angry for my answer.
“Don’t lie Karthik. This get–together has planned before 3 years…”
“I know but…” I kept silent for a moment.
“Listen, we took a vow during our college farewell that whatever situation we are in, however busy we are our entire batch mates would meet on this particular day at Goa.”
“Please Gokul.”
“Well, if you don’t make it to this gathering, you are going to insult and spoil every one’s mood” He snapped sharply.
“Nar…ma…dha…Narmadha, would come to this gathering…I don’t want to meet her again” I said gravely.
“Of course, she will... She is our batch mate as well...” He paused and continued, “Karthik, don’t confuse your personal issues with this one. We will be awaiting your arrival. Bye.”
He disconnected the call. Though my heart provoked to attend the gathering so as to meet Narmadha, my brain refrained from encouraging that idea. I don’t know whether Meeting Ex girl friend is a sin or blessing. But after that slight misunderstanding and big argument that happened on the last day of my college, neither she nor I tried to convince each other.
Gaps or conflicts are natural in relationships, but when those small gaps are not addressed it would lead to a bigger gap. Whether she is married or in relationship or in a recent break-up, I have no clue. But I realized that I made my mind to attend the get–together.
The day arrived and we all gathered in railway station to board our train to Goa. In just 3 years, people’s physical appearance and attitude has changed a lot. Few guys got bald; few guys developed tummy and fat, few conservative girls converted into ultra-modern one; all together everybody was with new updated versions. I was wondering how Narmadha would look at present.
Fat? with hairs short? Wearing huge glasses?
Even in my humorous meme, Narmadha looked cute as always. Everybody was busy engrossed with conversation, but I limited myself by “just a smile” as my eyes were scanning for my Narmadha.
The train whistled and slow paced. Narmadha was not in yet. My heart studded faster than the train engine. Ganesh must have captured my ginger eating monkey face. He approached and said, "Narmadha has some unavoidable emergency. Hence she will come directly to Goa by flight"
The train reached Goa and Narmadha had reached a head before us. Before I could start a conversation, all my friends started flooding her with welcome pleasantries. She was the same person as I met before 3 years. she gave a casual smile on looking at me. An emotionless smile. How could girls forget their love and act so casual?
We all went to the allocated room got ready for the party that was planned at night.
To our big amazement we saw Allu Arjun and Anushka Manchanda at the stage. One of my batch mate is a director now and his debut movie was with Allu Arjun and Anushka Manchanda. He must have requested their presence.
"Mann Basiyo Sanwariyo" Anushka started singing the song from ABCD – Any Body Can Dance and Allu composed his sensational moves extemporaneously and the crowd mimicked his steps. Soon the vicinity turned into fun fusion. It took a moment for me to realize that I was holding Narmadha and she was twirling and tuning to the rhythm of sensuous music. We got lost in the bubble of harmony. The music and dance made us to forget our past. Allu Arjun's dance passion continued to roar high and Anusha passion kept lifting and re-energizing our body, mind and soul.
I never felt the need to communicate that I still love her, since my soul felt that our love was charged again with the energy of Allu Arjun's sensational moves & Anushka Manchanda's magical voice

Yatra Review - A big fraud - Be Careful.
Yatra is a big fraud.
They give attractive offers like 100% Cash back and so on. But none, of the offers can be utilized effectively. The cash back will be available in the Yatra account in the form of prepaid balance, but it comes with a validity of only 3 months. This can be redeemed only against flight tickets or hotels. The business trick they do is, only 5% of the amount can be utilized from the available e-cash.
ie. Even if you book for a flight of 3500, you can redeem only 175 rupees from the E-cash.
Yatra is a big Fraud. Please dont trust and book through them. Please be aware of the Ecash process, before you slip off for the useless offers.

How much should you drink every day?
How much should you drink every day?
If you type the same in google, you will get 1000 of suggestions. Few will suggest drinking 8 liter of water is only good for health. Few others would suggest, if you drink more water, your kidney will keep functioning and fail soon (WTH!?)
But one thing is clear; drinking 8 liters of water is really dangerous. I feel, an 8-ounce glass is only interpreted as 8 liter of water.
Lack of water may lead to dehydration and excess of water intake may lead to kidney problems. Drinking right amount of water is extremely crucial. There are various factors needs to be considered .Your Age, weight, height and your living location like tropical or cold.
Here is an excellent website from H4H initiative to let you know how much water you should intake in a day. just input your weight, Height, Age, County, Consumption details, and few more details and click on "Set your liquid intake". It will display your accurate water intake
http://www.h4hinitiative.com/tools/hydration-calculator
Know your water intake and drink accordingly. That's a very simple step towards a healthier lifestyle.
Also, Drinking water at a certain time maximizes its effectiveness on the body
(Below information From A Cardiac Specialist!)
2 glasses of water after waking up - Helps activate internal organs1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal -Helps digestion1 glass of water before taking a bath - Helps lower blood pressure1 glass of water before going to bed - Avoids stroke or heart attackHappy Drinking!!!

The Power of Being you...
During my Teenage,
When I applied oil to my head, I was tagged “old-fashioned”When I said not to tease my juniors, I was tagged “a person who doesn’t know to enjoy college life”When I went library instead of movie, I was called dramatic queen. When I asked doubts to the staffs, I heard comments that “I am putting soap to staffs.”When I completed assignment’s well ahead of others, I was called, “Scene party”When I did not spend money on un-necessary things, People said I am Kanjus.(miser)Finally at the end of my college days, It was only me in my class got placed in a Multi-national company.
During my Adult,
When I voiced out my ambition, people said I am a day dreamer.When I avoided people who back- stabbed me, People said I am dis-respecting them. When I suggested people not to use Plastics or not throw waste on roads, people said I am abnormal. When I stood for justice, (ie when I voiced out when a girl/child is abused), people said I am bothersome or over-reacting. When I gave the real justification for my mistakes, in other words, when I did not please them with a lie, people said I am an attitude person. When I did not encourage people who disparage, they said I never adjust.
I agree, people who are jealous, back-stab and adjust (I mean who fit into that people's mindset of hurting, criticizing, discouraging others) have thousands of people around them.
The Power of you..Of course, I have fewer friends and they can be counted. But they are extremely valuable and they just do anything for me. After all, Diamonds can be bought in less number whereas sand or mud will be available enormous.
I also learned that people who are so stereotype in their views will keep on hurting you. Each person is unique and they have their set of customs. Its their life, their thoughts. Its your life and your thoughts. You can't match all the people's criteria. If you don’t match their criteria of religious, educational systems or believes, don't change for them. People who are broad minded enough will accept as you are. They will always fit into your puzzle and will never think bad of you.
Being different is beautiful and accepting difference is even more beautiful. If you are one among the person who always criticize good or different things, pleaseee its time to think and change. ...

Ever Time Rememberence
Pages from my #MemoriesOfMotherhood
30-August-2007:
4:00 A.M
“I should have opted for surgery for my daughter. I could not see my daughter suffering” I could hear my mom's talk even though I was screeching in pain. I could feel a sense of respect in my husband's eyes that was getting increased. My sister was in temple from the time I got the labor pain. My dad to overcome his tension, he was reading newspaper. But only god knows whether the news are getting into his mind or getting slipped off from his mind.
“Come on Push further,” the doctor replied.
“No, I am not able to take it up anymore. I want to give up. I am tired of struggling and baring the pain” I could not even reply. I slowly stopped responding to the doctors and become unconscious.
08.00 A.M
My brain could sense some sensational fondle. With all my left over energy, I struggle to open my eyes and what I saw gave me the energy and hope to the rest of my life. The baby’s skin was as soft as the petals of the Lotus flower.
My , My, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ arrived. I was searching for a word to fill that blank. My angel, my world, my confidence, my life, all those words seems to have no value to express about my baby's arrival.
"It’s has the look of the mother. See the sharp eyes and nose. Its cute" Someone was deliberating. Tears welled up my eyes but it was fixed with an emotion of gratification. A smile lit up my face before the tears could reach my ears.
"My baby ..my my.. BABY arrived" I whispered and realized that’s the best word to fill that blank. When I said that, I felt goose bumps puffing up across my body.
The baby was wrapped in towel and with the help of nurse, I feed my baby. Only women will know and realize how lucky to get that wonderful feeling of feeding their baby. The baby then went back to sleep, wiping all my labor pain by his (her!?) innocent face.
After a while, something struck my mind and I asked my mother, "Was it a baby boy or girl"
Every one broke into a big laughter and shot the question back to me, “Well, what you want?”
I blushed and replied, "Boy or Girl doesn't matter. But After 9 months of wait, I am now curious to know. Please tell me" I almost begged and my hands reached the baby's towel to let slip the secret.
My sister caught my hand and warned, "You need to guess the sex of the baby and if your guess goes wrong, we will take the baby with us."
I looked at my husband for any clue but as usual he put me on spot and gave a smile. I recollected the interaction that I had with my baby for these nine months and the response of my baby when I touch the womb. I looked at the baby. The rose cheeky baby was in deep sleep. Some inner voice gave the answer. I felt my baby was helping its mother or it could be my intuition too. I said, “It’s a baby boy”
And
And
And
“Yes, I was right” :)
Thank you my sister, for sharing your wonderful #MemoriesOfMotherhood. I hope this post will reminisce you to the journey of mother hood.

Outside the Home:"Your daughter is still not married. She is already 24" ~ Ms.Assassination."Is your son still jobless" ~ Ms.Bossy"You don't own a house yet” ~Ms.Cunning."This saree color does not suit you" ~ Ms. Jealous
Inside the Home:"Mom, Understand. I did not like that groom. I can't get married for the sake of your relatives. And please don’t bring this topic again and NOW' please leave me alone" ~ Daughter "Ma, Need 1000 rupees and I told you to iron my shirt. You didn't" ~ Son"You forgot to pay current bill. You do that every time. How many things I can take care of?" ~ Husband"Sorry ma, my daughter not feeling well. Need another day leave" - Maid"Your performance is not up to the mark" - Manager @ work."Did you get those medicines?" - Father in law"Your never keep the house clean." - Daughter in law.
Mom is the person where all the family members vent out all the pressure. Isn't?
"Mom are you not fed-up on tolerating our frustrations? Are you not stressed out by cooking and working for us?" I asked my mom once.
Her answer was, "Everything gets wiped out, when I see my children and family happy. I get stressed out only when you guys are not happy."
Mom, she lives only for her family. In her life span, she never gets time to take care of her. She never even shows her pain or illness outside.
A Mother's Life cycle:
In the above life cycle’ a mom does not have time to take care of herself. So, it’s our responsibility to give her that time and distress her. Below are the five tips to make your mom#StressFreeMom this week:
Give her a break . - Clean your home. Cook and surprise your mom. ( Side Effects - Mom will get sick or food poison by eating the food you prepared) Take her a vacation ( Side Effects - all her thoughts would be around her home and house hold duties. She will not enjoy the vacation) Offer her soothing music ( Side Effects - lol, she will never ever open the CD cover. She would feel much happier when you offer the remote during her favorite serial, but again serial would put her in pressure again.) Say, "I love you mom" and offer a kiss. ( Side Effects - She will get doubt that you did something wrong. Her reply on hearing I love you would be, "What mistake you did now?" "Are you in love with someone" "No, I can’t approve for outing with your friends") Take her for a walk . ( Side Effects - At night - She might need bed rest or her leg must have clotted after walking for so long")So at the end MISSION FAILED!!!
What is the only feasible, easy, convenient one to #StressFreeMom.?
When she is done with all the cooking and while taking rest follow the below steps.
Request your mom to close the eyes and massage her scalp in deep circular movements and offer her a wonderful rejuvenating oil massage with Parachute Advansed Aromatherapy Oil. This oil contains herbs like Lavender, Rosemary & Bergamot. Lavender is known for Antidepressant properties and it treats insomnia and anxiety. The aromatic rosemary is widely used for healing and purification. It stimulates the brain and improves the memory. The Bergamot oil reduces the body temperature and acts as a good relaxant. A peaceful Massage with these herbs is a proven method to reduce the stress and it will improve the overall mental and physical performance.
Getting a massage from daughter/son would give a double benefit than getting at a luxury spas, since this massage is mixed with love and comfort. Have you not felt mother’s food taster than restaurant foods?
What are you waiting for? Offer her a long relaxing massage today and observe how deep and relaxed she sleeps today.
Warning:If you want to offer a massage for neck pain or back pain, its better to consult a trained Massage therapy expert.
