Doppelganger is here!

What do you do when your doppelganger comes calling ?!

S coming , for me , always translates to " time of my life".. We converse deeply, roam endllessly, eat soulfully and shop pretty much till we drop. We also do stuff we wait for the right person to do it with .!

This time we ended up celebrating two birthdays, doing a beautiful road trip, ticking off new retail experiences , all the local delicacies and  giving the mandatory boost to local economy by shopping and some more !

Come back soon S, my partner in crime!The harmless one called living it up!

D's dance

Another beautiful day in my life of a mom !

When D after years of patient learning of bharatnatyam under a meticulous and thorough teacher came out at the Melpathur Auditorium in Guruvayur with her offering performance .

I sat rooted , stunned at her craft , dexterity and grace.

Go forth , my tinkerbell !
May there be more expressions of your self , more oppurtunities to find your best and more occassions to live your grace !

The Narrative

A called me and  said , be ready by 7 30 on sunday morning .. we are going to be off on a trip !
Oh how i love surprises and trips!

Come Sunday on dot at 7 30, off we go driving into a raining morning ! A long trip through thunder, lightning , swirling rain and caught up stories  to a coffee shop in town  thats playing host to a travelling workshop !

I figure we are there to attend a workshop on personal story telling titled " Whats' your story ?. And am i hooked !

The workshop was about  unearthing how our  stories , we tell ourselves and the world around us , is shaping us and in turn writing our story ! Through carefully chosen , guided activities facilitator ID masterfully  careened the motley group to get in touch with their stories ! and did the stories flow ?!

A group of strangers unravelled their narrative- their carfully kept , secreted scripts , getting in touch with their home truths . The revelation made  them effortless , unabashed narrators of their stories .

ID , Guess what you are doing ?! helping folks to get in touch with their IDs- Identities !
Cheers to that !!

Thank you A , As always you score for being the most thoughtful person i know  !

Time to cherish

A time to cherish.. to celebrate a nourishing association ..to strengthen bonds ... thats what i did with a soulmate !

John Keats wrote  " I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the hearts' affections and the truth of the imagination "

My friend , you have given me both beyond measure .
Affection and Inspiration for my imagination  ....

A  loving partner in my creative journey , cherish your presence in my life

I read somewhere that soulmates are strangers you recognise ! and i did !

Go on bestie , You are safe in my heart!

Season for Rain..

Its' got to be the most magical time of the year!
A time i really look forward to ..
when rains hold sway..

They arrive early june and settle into their benevolence in July and August when the land I live awaits their banished king of yore .Washing each leaf to a sparkle to welcome him.

Its a pluviophile's joy to see the spectacle unfold daily, with the clouds darkening in anticipation of the eruption !
Rains do make everything beautiful !

Across the Board !

With bated breath P and I await , the declaration of the Class X Board results ...
She had worked with her usual focussed non-chalance . Being all that i am , so wanted her first brush with a big exam to be a successful outing !

And we yelled .. as the results got published online. she had aced it with 5 straight A1s and a 10 CGPA !.

Go forth , my baby
.. you have many skies to traverse , exciting paths to walk and deep depths to fathom !

Bestie dates

Come summer and its bestie time ! P and kids kept their  date with us and Kerala.

And off we went to wild wayanad. As we unwound by the placidly beautiful karappuzha swapping stories, playing boardgames, eating, outing and goofing , cherished the gift that P is in my life !

Growing and glowing comes easy with you , P !
