"You are really lucky to have a bro like Arun" , Shyam told me the other day ..
Thats really true.. He has always been there for me when I needed his support.. He is a very cool headed, matured and caring person.. During my wedding, he was the great moral support for my parents. He managed the show really well .. One thing that touched me the most was this..
I fell ill a couple of days before the wedding .. You wont believe, even while sleeping he would get up once every half and hour and check if my fever subsided ... I am really blessed to have a bro like this .. I am very proud of you .. I wish and pray that he has a very successful life ahead

Smile therapy
If you are working on anger-control, thene herez a tip for you..
Ask someone who stays with you to give a hearty, cute smile when u get angry .. U will be surprised to know that your anger will subside the same way as boiling milk will when u switch off the gas stove....
This is what my husband does when i get a short fuse.. This therapy makes ur anger short lived..

My daddy strongest !!
My dad's one particular quality , for which i am ever indebted to him is that " He always wants the best for arun, amma and me ".. This is something he can never compromise!!
One when we were at vijaywada , I had given my dress for stitching to a tailor ,, When I got it back we realised that it one of the fabric with exchanged with someone else's .. Then we went to return it to the tailor but he refused to accept the mistake.. We argued for a while , then getting convinced that we were fooled we came back .. However my dad couldn't leave it that.. Next day he visited the tailor shop along with the police. The tailor admitted the mistake, stitched a new dress for me :)

My mom's the best
Nowadays I call up my mom while having lunch and we speak for around 20-40 mins ..Mostly about whats happening at our ends .. We chat/gossip for a while about whats going on at our relatives' end .. about friends .. she tells me some recipes to try out ,,she asks me about shyam .. Today I was telling her that Shyam made breakfast today,,,she was more than happy intially ..Then she tells me not to make it a habit and expect him to do it everyday.. I didnt agree to her completely, still i kept quiet and just said ok ..
My mom is very innocently sweet at times ..Whenever she gets upset with someone , she tells me how she was hurt by the other person's reaction. Then she very sportively analayses the mistakes at her end and decides not to commit them again .. Very sweet !! Today she tells me that she gets into such small fights because of her impulsive talks ..Itseems she wants to be like me calm and composed :)
I agree that sometimes her impulsive reactions are not favourable ..but her spontaneous talk is what that makes her so cute, honest and special ..
Love u amma !!

Diversified interests
Over the years, there is one observation that I have made about myself ...
The power of concentrating on one particular thing has gradually reduced over the years ..
When in school this concentration power was at its peak .. then slowly it dwindled ..
During my college days , there was not a single, constructive activity that I used to do alone .. Be it studying, my dance rehearsals, singing or anything for that matter there were always people around me, so the power of focus was still on..
Probabaly because I got used to doing things as a group i lost this power when I ventured to do anything alone..
After I came to work, the first year was pretty good.. I used to define my activities clearly and since I found my work very challenging , I stayed quite focused. From the next year onwards, I noticed that I was getting slow at work .. so I started jotting down the activity plan everyday.. This didnt help much. firstly, I would spend most of the time making plan and verifying if I am on track, than doing the work .. Secondly the no. of activities would be so much that I would multi-task many things and not do anything concrete,..
While at work, i would start googling about dance themes, dancers in india, music , movies, swimming classes, keyboard classes, tennis classes, books, lyrics of fav songs, listen to music, english word meanings to name a few.... then would go for long tea breaks, lunch breaks; check my attendance, m,y payslip, my old archived mails, read other's blog, mail to friends/cousins, csee photos.videos etc.. so i would get totally get distracted from the main stream work and end up staying late
One more thing that i have started doing very often these days is think about the past .. about my college life, life at mysore, life at blore, life at US , my previous assignments at work, my wedding, honeymoon, life in mumbai etc etc..
My thoughts are more on past and less on future/present ... Even if I think about future, I get some negative thoughts ,, something that I hate,,
Somehow these symtoms seem to indicate that am growing old .. I have always wanted to have a young mind though..
Dancing is one exception to this case. during my dance rehearsals i stay very focused .. i forget everything else. i guess i should be doing more of dancing to alleviate this growing-old-syndrome....
