To Be One With Each Other

“What greater thing is there for two human souls
than to feel that they are joined together to strengthen
each other in all labor, to minister to each other in all sorrow,
to share with each other in all gladness,
to be one with each other in the
silent unspoken memories?”

— George Eliot

The most anticipated day of the year has come. As a kid, this day was fun. A day in a year, just being remembered. Midnight call till 1 o clock, White and red dress, morning meet, a short visit to temple, sweets, wishes, small fights, big thank yous, cool day at office.
I am sure it’s not just another Thursday for me. Thanks all for the wishes.

>>NewYearBirthDay<<

Happy Birthday to the man
-who took the utmost care for me.
-who usually returns my smile with a frown and a glare
-who never conveys his feelings but feels more deeply than anyone else.
And there is no one from whom I copy so much. There can be no one whom I admire so much. There can be no one who amazes me so much.
And above all there can be no one either who I argue with so much.
-To be his daughter has been and would always be special.
-For all those unnecessary demands of mine which he agreed to.
-All those walks to the bus stop which had that essence of his philosophy, psychology and lots more.
-For all those times he kept awake for me whole night just because I had to wake up at 5 am in the morning to study for exam and our alarm clock wasn’t working.
-For being a walking encyclopedia available with almost anything at any time of the day.
-For always having told me the truth behind everything even at a very small age when I couldn’t even understand the depth of it but now when I look back I can understand. It would have been very easy for him if he scared or scolded me to make me do things. He chose the difficult but surely the best way and I am glad that he did.
-For having treated me as a mature being and for giving me my space.
In true sense he’s my best buddy… that doesn’t mean I don’t respect him.
I am not scared of him. I love him and I respect him so much.

He’s someone who I know will always support me what come may.
He will always be someone who’ll still have high hopes on me even if I screw up my life.
He’s also someone who thinks I am his son as well as daughter. Well that’s why my friends always see me buying things from the market, paying bills, preparing dishes and even dusting and cleaning up the house.
For all those times he stood against illegal practices in his own small way.
And above all, for treating me as a princess.
It needs that extra courage to be someone like him. And it’s a matter of great pride for me to be his daughter.
Happy birthday Pa.
Wish you lots n lots of peace and happiness and not tension because of me in this “new year” of your life. Love you Always

I got this song from some shared system and when I heard it I fell in love with this song. I used to listen to this song at least once in a day in my office earlier. I had to drop it during an audit. Just remembered this lyrics by Bob Carlisle .

There’s two things I know for sure
She was sent here from heaven and she’s Daddy’s little girl
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes
And I thank God for all of the joy in my life
Oh, but most of all for..

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Stickin’ little white flowers all up in her hair
“Walk beside the pony Daddy, it’s my first ride
I know the cake looks funny Daddy but I sure tried”
Oh, with all that I’ve done wrong, I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every morning and butterfly kisses at night

Sweet sixteen today
And she’s lookin’ like her mamma a little more every day
One part woman, the other part girl
To perfume and make-up, from ribbons and curls
Trying her wings out in a great big world
But I remember…

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Stickin’ little white flowers all up in her hair
You know how much I love you Daddy
But if you don’t mind I’m only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time
Oh, with all that I’ve done wrong, I must have done something right
To deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses at night

Oh the precious times
Oh, like the wind the years go by
Precious butterfly
Spread your wings and fly

She’ll change her name today
and she’ll make a promise and I’ll give her away
Standing in the bride room just staring at her
She asked me what I’m thinking and I said “I’m not sure,
I just feel like I’m losing my baby girl”
And she leaned over…and gave me…

Butterfly kisses with her mamma there
Stickin’ little white flowers all up in her hair
“Walk me down the aisle Daddy, it’s just about time
Does my wedding gown look pretty Daddy? Daddy don’t cry”
Oh, with all that I’ve done wrong, I must have done something right
To deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses

I couldn’t ask God for more
Man, this is what love is
I know I’ve gotta let her go, but I’ll always remember
Every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses

She is glad that she met him. He was not a familiar face then. He gave a sense of comfort. She didn’t need a hundred people to talk to, just one person who would listen. she is grateful. He didn’t realise the favor he was doing to her but she knows what it meant to her.He showed the right way when she was at crossroads. There were times she was demanding, times she was rude and times she has been restless. All said and done. She never intended to hurt him. He stood by her always in spite of knowing all her shortcomings.

She is not so expressive. Even if she wants to tell someone how much she likes, how much she is thankful – she just smiles or be silent. That is the kind of expression she always gives. But he does. He understands.

She is trying to speak out because of him.
He is trying to calm down because of her.

She can’t ignore him, he never let her down.
She seeks(disturbs him) his advice when she is down. He is her greatest support.

She is talkative. He listens to her patiently.
She is the most troublesome person and he is the most adjustable person.

It is that time of the year again,to be thankful for everything that has happened, that is going to happen.

Cakes, Jingle Bells, Carols, crib set, Christmas trees, stars, New Year, holidays… yeah…
These are the things that come to mind when I think about this festival.
During school days, it was fun with half-yearly exam holidays and New Year arrival. In college it was study holidays time.
As years went by we have fewer holidays. Now at work we call it freeze period. With less work, so many planned leaves, most of them are OOO.
For me this year, it is an awaited vacation, traveling to a new place, meeting a special couple. It’s going to be fun. Magical Celebrations.
!!!!Merry Christmas!!!!

>>RainyDay<<

Rain- It’s a wonderful thing as long as there is no water logging on roads. It’s raining continuously for the third day and roads have become bad or worse or however you can call. But still I love this weather for that I can get drenched in rain not bothering much about scolding from friends, dress being spoiled or other things as such. Last evening it was raining heavily and still we 3 roommates stepped out for shopping & ticket booking. We planned for 30 mins and came after 3 hrs. Shopping is always bliss when we have a good company. Late in the night it was still worse and we could hardly hear any sound other than the rain drops. Suddenly we were able to hear a strange sound from outside and that scared us a lot. Having heard some strange stories in the recent past and watching some thriller movies in the weekend made me think a lot and was not able to sleep till 3 in the morning. Closed all the windows and tied up the curtains, switched on the night lamps and finally calmed down to sleep. All the credits go to someone who has told all the so called super natural stories. Woke up at 6 in the morning and could see the darkness still. Managed to dig out from bed and made up my mind for work. Monday mornings are cool and fresh always. Wanted to sing Rain Rain Go Away. But ya, once in a while we see rain in Chennai. So no complaints. My teammates reached in the noon or should I say early of onsite work hours . On a rainy day, didn’t feel like working. Wanna walk under the rain. What’s your favorite thing to do on a rainy day?

>>TooManyQuestions<<

Someone whom I hardly knew, whom I have met in the lunch hall or in the stair case couple of times gave a compliment that I look fresh. I replied, Thank you, and said it’s Monday morning. There were too many questions after that , ” Is today your birthday” I smiled a No and came the next question “Is anything special today” again I smiled a No. Next -“Are you married, is today your wedding day”. To stop all those non-stop questions, I gave an answer “It’s my kid’s birthday”. Another question was, “God, then why you are in office today?” Too many personal questions in just 2 minutes!!!
