Onam Celebration - 2012


Onam is a Hindu festival celebrated by the people of Kerala, India and it is also harvest festival of Kerala.[1] The festival commemorates the Vamana avatar of Vishnu and the subsequent homecoming of the legendary Emperor Mahabali. It is the state festival of Kerala and falls during the month of Chingam (August–September) and lasts for ten days.

Right from my birth I haven't celebrated onam. This year I celebrated it with my friends in office by wearing new dress which is purely traditional gifted by my dear Mom Sarooooo.
Saro's Gift for Onam
All my colleagues celebrated by wearing onam traditional wear, decorated their bays with pookolam and shared sweets within them. But unfortunately we didn't plan for anything as such. And that made us feel a lot. And the whole day we were grumbling that we should have planned for something. 


One of my team mates brought payasam for us from home. From then we started celebrating Onam. We took photo together. And the picture came out very well. Unfortunately three of my team mates couldn't join us as there were on leave on that day.. We missed you my dear friends.

Benefits of being Short

1. Legroom on airplanes is never an issue If I feel a little cramped in airline seats, then what must it be like for someone who is 6’ tall? It’s the same story with theaters and cinemas – you must have noticed how some people have to sit with their legs at a sideways angle. 2. Less Dangerous I've never banged my head on a low ceiling 11. There will be lots of situations where tall people have to bend over to not hit their head, but you’ll be able to remain upright without bumping into anything. Subsequently, you will be GREAT at limbo. 3.Beds How on earth do taller people manage to sleep in the average bed? I find that there is little room between my feet and the end of the bed, so taller people must find it really difficult – and uncomfortable. 4.Get more help People offer to help you carry things, or do it for you, as they think that a small person like you can’t manage it. Result – effort and sweat saved. 5.Heels  Of any height,...

“...no one is born a great cook, one learns by doing.”

I would like to share about my passion towards Cooking…. When it started? People who inspired me by their cooking talents....and my motivators ……… only positive comments…. Basically I am lazy girl who know only to eat what my mom prepares…. My mom used to often insist on me learning cooking as it would make my future aromatic (good smelling). But I never did it when she said (as usual). Even when she is not at home I chose the easier alternative - choose restaurant. During my final year, one of my friends used to cook by herself and bring it to college.... for her boy friend tooo… And her dishes used to be so tasty.... She used to prepare many food varieties. I used to taste it daily and there started the fire.....First dish which I prepared was "Ennai Kathirika Curry"- a pure Chettinadu Recipe and it was tasted by Joe … She told the dish was so good… And she advised me to prepare variety of dishes…. Really this cooking knowledge helped me a lot when...

Do you have a favorite sibling?

I have only one sibling "Shibu Alex Raj" and obviously he is my favorite. Although he is grown up and a doctor by profession he will remain my sweet little brother. Not naughty like me, he is very calm, brilliant and takes care of everyone. Meanwhile for his age he is more matured and responsible also. When he was 1 “You’re my brother, I miss you when you’re away, I hate you when you hurt me, I love you when you’re just yourself, I’m your sister when you do stupid things…” Love you loads bro for sacrificing everything for me in your life. To say in one word I have been a sadist all time. I have tortured him to the extreme in the early days.  Me and my bro have a long age gap of 7 years, so I couldn't accept the fact that there is one another person in the family to share things. I wanted a sister to play with but as soon as I came to know that it was a baby boy, I ran from the hospital. People were looking for me and finally found in my school. Whole day I...
