Theme for Week 46 - What names (men's and women's) do you like best? Why?

This is one of my favorite topic so far. And Thanks to admin for choosing this topic..

Names are attractive always, I loved my Name very much, I feel proud inside to me every time when some one calls me , Do not know why , And Came to know it is the name lord Paravathy. She was in fasting for some reason,  So she had only Dried leaves, In sanskrit, for leaves its " PARNA" since she had Dried Leaves, 
it is " A PARNA" . This is what i heard. (NOT SURE about the story, But sure it belongs to Paravathy name)

Next to my name, I love the Name " Sagarika " , I studied Sanskrit from my 6th std, So i knew few sanskrit stories, first i heard this name through my sanskrit Sir, It was very catchy, but i didn't give much importance, then one fine day me and my husband were discussing about the catchy names, automatically this name comes, Husband also hearing it for first time, So we thought we should keep this name for our baby, we yet to have , Once we get if it is baby girl its going to be "SAGARIKA" 

Ratnavalli is a sanskrit drama story written by Sri Harsa, very beautiful story, where the queen name is Sagarika and also there is one bird which talk , it is also named as Sagarika, the story ends with some magical illusion, very lengthy and great story, Inspired the name from this story. 

P.S:  Who ever has name Aparna, I naturally inspired them a lot, Thats why i have a big crush on @Aparna Balasubramaniam (:P sorry aparna if u do not like this )

Week 43: A few instances when I behaved very unlike myself

Instant 1: 

Whenever i fight with him, it is truly very unlike me, Basically  i wont hurt anyone unless or until they pull me When it comes him, i do not mind shouting, and scolding, I do not even give him a choice. some times i wait for the opportunity to knock him down . Later i feel bad, But at that moment i behave very unlike me.

Instant 2: 

I can adjust anywhere, irrespective of their food or place , I can survive But only thing which bothers me , Very few people prepare good coffee. so whenever we go out for relative or friends house, we say we do not take coffee, it is very unlike (being a great coffee lover)

The Reason why we are not opting , the coffee always smell with milk as dominant, perhaps we want the coffee powder dominant, - only in a very few place i tasted the coffee otherwise we generally do not take coffee outside, Saravana bhavan is exceptional .

How i embrassed Myself?

After i written my 12th std board examination. I knew that i wont score Much.Except Computer science,So i intimated my parents that i am not going to meet your expectation , sorry for everything. Even my parents didn't say anything (so far) , Once my result came i have scored 764 (very poor performance) out of 1200  where as my highest score is 180 in CS.

whenever some one inquired me about my 12th std score , it seriously embarrassed me :(  I knew i have not scored much ,but  it is such a difficult one to tell my score. So i planned to tell My marks in Percentage, 63% sounds better than score right?
I feel this is the most awkward moment in my life !

Who is She?

She was introduced to me by my wife, i knew her from the next day of my marriage. Just a small introduction about her from my wife. When i noticed  she was silent but Stunning!
So our interaction started there. Every day i met her, in fact i could not stop interacting with her.Later on without knowing , i fell in love with her.
Its tough to say that i fallen in love again after my marriage. Wondering how to convince my wife because i cannot be without my WIFE so as HER.
Had a guilt feeling about my relationship with her, But still i cannot leave HER. So decided to reveal to my wife.

It was a fine rainy sunday morning, i felt a bit chilled! My wife came with her, i smiled ! I really felt the warmth after seeing HER. Then I started tasting HER

Week 22: An object from my childhood

When they post this topic i was little upset that i do not have any object ! i did not know i should have some thing for my future use ! I searched completely i do not find anything ! Finally i got one photo (the only childhood photo) where i was doing 2nd std !

This photo is very spl ! DO not know the reason why i went to shop and took ! i could recollect i went with amma i wanted to pose in a standing position but amma wanted it in sitting position ! i got little angry thought while taking photo i should stand and pose ! But do not have gutz ! but i raised my  right hand index finger ! you can see that in that photo ..


Its part of writting for 52 week project 2013 page in facebook ! 

Week 20: What would you name your enterprise and why?

Well i wanted to start ashrams, old age home, trust hospital and of course restaurant ! I do not know which one i wll do it in my life ! Personally i like two things one is OLD AGE HOME AND RESTAURANT!

My restaurant should provide only healthy food , DO NOT HAVE SPACE FOR unhealthy food , like fried and calorie added items. I am a foodie and would love to try and taste many varieties ! But metabolism is very poor so i always restrict my self from eating !

so who ever comes to my restaurant ! they should be happy about eating not to count about their calorie !
would like to name it as " NO CALORIE Restaurant " ~

I do not know whether it is possible or not ! But i wanted that way !

When it comes OLD age , I am not here to blame and give lecture to any one ! Straight away to the name "WE ARE HERE ~~ HOMAGE"

It s part of writing for 52 week project

Back to Memories

I have so many memories :) What so special in the memories are when u talk about the things happened u still feel the same , got my point? yeah though i have so many memories only few took me back ! one of the thing happened yesterday night ! 

I generally enquired about the day and the activities to my husband ! while we were talking ! he was telling that his close friend believes in shiva and energy infact he has gone to the kumbamella ! The moment i asked him ! Rajesh next time when we go out we need to buy the serial cassette ! Remind me ! 

Aparna R u addict to serial? I said no ! then what s that all about? Do u know the thirrler serial Marmadesam? he said it was Chetan right? I told i am talking about the previous one Serial ! 
Marma Desam (Land of mystery )~ Ragasiyam(secret) !

Those who are not aware of this serial - a small recap ! 
it is a television serial directed by naga between 1997 -2001 it was huge success !  This story is about the mysteriously healing Navabhashanam Lingams of Lord Shiva.

It is one of the super hit Serial that time i was doing my  9th standard ! Every week i believe thursday night 8:30 - 9.00  they telecast this serial! it was the time that private channels got in to the picture and This serial took the channel to higher level ! 

Every week Thursday is special ! i finish off my home work before 7 and infact i finish my dinner ! waiting the clock to tick 8:30 ! One of the best story so far i have watched ! Nag directed it well! every time when they reveal the secret it was like finishing your entrance exam ! Though it is a decade the serial has special place in the industry ! 

Hoping to expect more thriller serial and asking all the small industry directors to put a pull stop for family story and love story ! you have many sujects apart from this ! 

The television series consisted of successive episodes of short stories dealing with supernatural occurrences. While the stories are purely fictitious, they explore some extant beliefs and real-life traditions.



  • Ragasiyam (Tamil: ரகசியம்) (English: The Secret) (Director: Naga) .. Explores the legend of the mysterious healing Nava bhashana lingam.

It does not mean we have not been to anywhere ! we have been to many local places not like complete 6 days This time we have choosen to Travel Between Chennai TO Mumbai .. Though its a domestic travel It was one of my memorable experience in my life !

My parents are staying with my brother ! After my marriage i never been to my parents place just like that ! So we planned and we went to mumbai ! and had a great trip !

Before two weeks itself we were in shopping mood ! almost we bought everything from scratch , New travel bag , new pouch , new dress, new towels !  What not ? oops i missed my new Digital Camera ! it was long dream But we are still thinking why we havenot got it before? So because of the camera My cooking blog born

first flight journey know i was so curious to know how the take off wll be ! Basically i am a brave girl ! Husband is bit tensed though he travelled before height is a problem for him ! our flight timing is 5:15 in the evening so i booked the call taxi by 3.00 to be in advance of 2 hrs ! Call taxi reached our home !

I am just thinking thinking ! what i missed ? my mind says i have missed many things irrespective of 3 big luggage's for 2 person ! finally i pushed myself to the car ! happily journey started ! Reached the airport !

Did all formalities :) infact i was bit proud if u ppl would have noticed my face as if i am the Queen ! i was enjoying the Queue. Btw our flight got delayed of 30 minutes !

I enjoyed my muffins though it is not good  .Still we are in the mood of travelling ! so its time and heard the annouchement ! 5:50 we boarded on the flight and seated ! Me and my husband were laughing for nothing ! it shows our enjoyment and travel !

Slowly husband is bit tensed ! because two times he asked water ! And the air hostess had a weird look ! And he instructed me not to look outside while the flight is taking off ! i said please- if u want u do not look ~ Do not force me not to look  ! Aparna Pls ! i pleased him to close his eyes and do the rama jabam ! he was holding my hand as if first time Tight , infact i had a mark !

I love my husband  " SENSE OF HUMOR "  Yes to come out from his stressful profession , he crack so many jokes infact u wll get stomach Pain ! i could feel little jerk and flight TAKE OFF ! tada tada ! husband is saying " annachi , romba vegama otarenga appo appo kizha irakangrenga " It means u are riding very fast and sometimes u are coming down and taking up !

i am seeing outside ! " now i thought if we fall down how can we escape? GOD PLS IF at all something happens make sure we are falling in the SEA because i know swimming and i can make him to SWIM TOO " thats a random thought "

All thinking going on But slowly adopted to the journey ! Truely , i enjoyed the journey ! Rajesh ! i am travelling in flight ! thanks ! Asadu !

Where are we?

I had a General discussion with my Friends ! While discussing I told them i had an idea ! whenever u are celebrating your kids b'day  , Pl ask the visitors not to bring Any GIFT instead you can keep some Hundi BOX , if they wish they can contribute their part and u can handed over the money to some ASHRAM.

All disagreed as their kids cannot accept if people did not Bring any b'day gift ! Agree Because they are kids ! they have expectation ! they do not know what is good ? and what is bad? ! Def they feel bad if some one not giving gift to them !

Leave all part , the following is my own opinion ! NO OFFENCE MEANT!

* i yet to bless with baby's so my opinion may not be perfect , it is just a thought !


As a parent Cannot we change their mind slowly? if not this b'day may be next b'day they can think it off? right? it wont required much Year ! how are they growing ? by seeing and learning  .  If u do i am sure at least three of your friends w'll follow ! so it goes! !!!!!!

We always feel we grow up our kid better than our parents if that is the case we can make this too ! Share your idea guys !


Idea1 : 

Instead of other buying a gift for your kid , U buy some 3 to 4 gift and wrap it ! Tell your kids that they w'll get 4 gift at the end of b'day i am sure we can make them !

Random Thought 


I have strong dis agreement towards parents who says " i struggled a lot so i do not want my Kids too" Sooner or later u daughter or son does not know what is failure? later they cannot digest, def they wll face one day because its a competitive world  ! u w'll fall in trouble ! U are there to safeguard them But do not tell them u are holding the ROPE 



Yours

AparnaRajeshkumar !
