Little things bring us joy! Simple wishes, dreams, desires motivate us and drive us to do crazy things.  Today's LSD (Long Sunday)began with no targets in mind.Pulled into the group by Shiva at PB, I thought I would run apni man marzi..Hardly did I know that Hari&Co were planning to do a 21k via  Chennai 0 .The magic milestone was in my wishlist and did not want to let go of the opportunity as soon as I got to know. Definitely, Im no match for the trail blazers &  I'm always a trailing gazer.  Doc decided to accompany Uma & me and have a relaxed run. I couldn't ask for more. Lest that I realise, it was a killer weather. The oppressive weather conditions made every step tougher. Thanks to my running partners to put up with all my cribbing and ranting. The timing transitioned from 4:1 to 3:1, later to 2:1 and finally walk.  Clicking pictures en route for varalaaaru kept me going.Completely drenched in sweat , dehydration taking a toll, indeed a bad day...

THE MAC

 When the cricket bug bites you, even an empty stadium reverberates with match vibes. The fourth graders' visit to the iconic Chepauk Stadium was perfectly timed to coincide with the beginning of the cricket season. The children felt an adrenaline rush as they set foot in this historic stadium through the V. Pattabhiraman Gate. The exuberant students walked past the practice nets, assessing their size and shape. With math running wild in their heads, the perfectly curated ground filled them with excitement. A walk through the field and the dressing rooms lifted their spirits even higher. It was a truly motivational trip for those budding cricketers in the making! A memorable trip for me too , much more excited than the kids.

Self motivation

 A new day unfolds, With new aspirations and opportunities. May the vigour and rigour multiply, For He is omnipresent to identify. Feel His grace,  And embrace the days. Good luck to myself on the re-opening day of school! 🎒🎒🎒

Amma..

Amma's Love ❤️  It dawns with the koel's call, The tiny tailor tweets loud of all, The stripey squirrels bark to make me fall. Yet, I wait for .. The breakfast smell to waft through the air, All seems to be fair in mom's care, Time to wake - up for my share!! Dedicated to my mom. Written during my recovery post surgery in Ambattur on 20.8.2023 My mom nursed me with so much care despite her age, that I almost forgot I was recovering and started enjoying my break which transformed into vacation!

Sleeping Beauty

Image
 Have you ever realised a whole jackfruit can steal your day. Ranga and I decided to no longer wait to wak e up our Sleeping Beauty from her deep slumber.  Oh ! Sleeping Beauty - the Jackfruit he bought from Cuddalore was ducked in a cosy corner, beautifully muffled up in thick  carpet to ripen. We have been waiting for her.. peeping our noses every morning and evening for status updates. Yet , she seemed unmindful about it. Must be She needed more warmth. What can be worse than the Chennai weather! Today, we finally decided to wake her up  and rip her apart due to signs of rotting here and there. Patiently, She tolerated all our butchering.  But, She gave us a tough fight and kept us occupied for 3 hrs to completely remove all the kernels. She was huge enough to feed 5 families. What next?? Plan B when you have no takers.  She  transfigures into chips and halwa and takes another few hours of my time. She made my day!!  Rough and thorny outside,...
