I have resumed my passion to learn carnatic music.
One thing that i am very very passionate about in life is music. I love to talk,listen,sing,write, read or do anything about music and never feel enough of it.
I use to learn south indian classical when i was in india before marriage.After marriage we came to UK and that came to a stop :( . It was always in my mind to resume when I come back to India. I always use to urge my husband to move back to india just for this one reason.
However after about 5 years, since we have now moved to east london where the asian population is more compared to west(where we were for about 4 yrs), I looked for a music teacher and went to learn from her. That teacher gave me some information that there are people who teach from india via skype. I looked for one since that gives me more flexibility if over internet as time etc can be adjusted to suit my convenience more. I did find one teacher from Trichy and have resumed my long time pending pasion to learn carnatic music from where i left.
As i work from home two days a week, i have fixed one hour on those two days to learn singing. I get immense satisfaction, joy and peace. I also have good time to practice and make it a point i do it regularly.
This is one thing that gives me immense pleasure and joy an hope I will be able to continue this for the rest of my life.

Our own Audi convertable
We drove home a nice black audi A4 convertable home yesterday.!!!
I am very thrilled and excited to travel with it all around ... can't wait for sunny weekends:):)
It was a sad day in one way to part from our old Ford fusion. But we were really excited to drive our new(although second hand) home. We along with my sisters family went to the temple in the morning and then came and picked the new one. My nephew was thrilled when the roof opened and closed at the press of the button !!! So were all of us... My sister and her hubby were also thrilled.
Adithya(my nephew) loves black color, so he was excited to a great extent. He is also travel sick but with this one being more airy with open roof he is again very happy that he will not be sick in car :) he has called the car a 'magic car' coz of the opening and closing of the roof :).
To see his reactions was adding to all our excitment even more :)
To sum it, i must say it was a very good weekend.
It was in my mind to drive in the convertable atleast once before I leave the UK ....and now i am owning one. Thanks to God and my dear hubby !!!
Hope we have lots more good memories to share driving all the roads in UK.
This is the second special and best thing happened in the first six months of this year. !!! Hopefully many more to come :):)

A new friend
What is more pleasing in life than happiness to share and give.
And when thats from a friend whom you love to be with its very rewarding.
This year, just as if to console me, I found a new friend Rekha. I met her in a friends place during diwali celebrations last year. We instantly felt drawn towards each other and we talked so much on that day. We naturally took each others phone number and randomly called each other.
This year, we visited her once and she visited us after that. She has a equally friendly and entertaining husband and two cute daughters who are dolls(specially her little one).
Luckily my husband also found her husband very engaging.They both love cricket and have started playing every weekend. (My husband is all excited about the comeplete cricket costumes etc.. will need a seperate post).
Since we have started visiting temple every saturday, they come there as well. so we hang out in a resturant for late-breakfast-early-lunch sort of thing and then the men head off to play and i end up at rekha's house and chat and chat and chat ...
Its so unwinding and lovely to talk to her and hear her talk as well. we have spoken almost about all topics under the sun... its now like we talk over phone atleast twice a week and mandatorily meet on the saturday's !!!
I have always been lucky when it comes to relationships in life,I thank God for that. But i must say i am particularly lucky with respect to friends. All my friends are a true treasure for me and Rekha undoubtedly is part of the list.
P.S IN her daughters birthday party last week at her house everybody who came assumed that Rekha and I are friends for atleast some years, thats the rapport and level of intimacy we share !!!
This is the first best thing which although began in last year, bloomed into a good friendship this year.

back again ... second time
I am not sure if anybody has even tumbled on my blogs before(not that there were many or anything highly intesting)... but i am back again and this time its here-to-stay kind of come back !!!
its about six mnths since i wrote something. I have been wanting to blog always in that time but somehow couldn't pull myself up.. anyway i am glad i did it now. and i hope this time i will be able to do it for long and also keep it as interesting as possible
six months is quiet a big time when many things happen in life and yes there are many things that has happened in my life as well.
a short list of major events in the past six months..
- to begin the new year with I had my SIL(sister-in-law) and her family with a very naughty little one visit us. It was a very interesting and engaging time with the little one. he is very smart and also fun to hang around with. The happiest was my husband and his sister i guess!!!
- one big mile stone completed in march i.e we celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. Guess what we spent the day in natural history museum with all dinosaurs and other similar things !!! was fun though .. i think that was the first after a very long time my husband and I spent a day together.
- another milestone in may i am now 30 yrs old !!! which i think is nearly half my life span!!!
usually our special days will be celebrated very specially but this year strikingly both the occasions were low key.. may be thats the specialitly:) - from april this year .. not because of any specific reason but may be destined to happen now we have started visiting the temple every saturday .. it really is a very nice feeling and I love it.
untill then enjoy and have fun
