New Year Wishes

HAPPY NEW YEAR Dear all... a great year ahead...

Today is 10th Jan.. 10 days after New Year....Net connection revived only today... after Thane Cyclone. I made a resolution to post regularly...

I don't want to reason out for not writing once a week atleast...

We went to Ashram on 1st Jan. for Darshan. It was a sorrowful state of Pondy... Roads are full of green leaves.... trees... overhead tanks.... sign boards.... huge damage to all... even the OTS sheets.... oh GOD.... It was Thane Cyclone, who hit us 2 days back.... heavy loss... we were in Anamalai the day it struck.... 30th morning we heard about the cyclones and our friends kept on updating about the intensity of the cyclone... we immediately started to Pondy, despite the protests from amma & warnings from our relatives, friends and other well wishers...  The effect is seen from Ulundurpet and streets were full of trees and electrical posts... By evening we reached Pondy, with so many obstacles and risks althrough our journey.... with the blessings of Mother we reached home safely.

No electricity, no water, house full of rain water.... It took more than a day to make our house dry... By midnight, the power revived (just for Boulvard area)... also we were relieved as atleast we could have water.

LET US ALL PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE AFFECTED AND SPEEDY RECOVERY OF ALL THE AFFECTED AREAS...

LET THIS NEW YEAR BRING PEACE TO ALL.

HAVE A GREAT YEAR .

My Birthday Party-- On Children's Day.... ;)

       As I told you in my last post, Appa & Amma made arrangement for my Birthday party on Kwality Walls - Swirls....

       Cake has been ordered in Lokesh Mama's Bakery.... Pineapple Fresh Cake with Bear Icing. It looks really wonderful...

       The other items were ordered there... French Fries, Veg Nuggets, Sandwiches, Chilly Cheese Pizza, Veg Arrabiata Pasta & to finish with Ice Creams.

       Really enjoyed every single minute of this evening... We reached the Swirls by 6 pm exact. Slowly one by one, my friends came. All the six girls were there except Varsha. Amma called Malini Aunty. She told that there is no one to take Varsha to the Party. Its understood, she has to come all the way from Villianur. Its difficult definitely... Sanjana's Sister Tamanna & Mrittika's Sister Sruthika accompanied them.

       I cut the cake by 6.45 pm, after waiting for Varsha & later we all ate the cake... delicious...

       Sruthi suddenly got into a jolly mood & started chasing every one of us to mess our faces & dresses with the cream.... we all ran here & there... Then amma made her sit in a place. Then the dishes lined up & we liked everything... that too the pasta is really very nice... a bit spicy too....

       We enjoyed playing treasure hunt & speaking to few people who came to the parlour. Ice creams were served to their choice & so as the toppings.... we chatted & chatted on gulping down the ice creams... slowly parents came to pick them up... I gave a bag as a return gift to them. I bought this bag only for my friends. But Tamanna took the one that is bought for Varsha.... But Sruthi didn't have any... amma felt bad about that, as she kept on telling to buy few more in anticipation... it is only appa said a strict no to it.... so we bought the bag for only 7 girls.

 

       We came home by 8.30 pm after giving the cakes to the Parlour owner & staff. Its a wonderful day to be in my memory forever.

       Back home, I opened all the presents.... Vigasini gave me a Chess Board, Sanju a Mahabharata Book & a Pilot pen with eraser at the other tip, Mrittika, The Princess diaries Book, Arwa gave me two Enid Blytons Famous Five books & a pair of 3D Rubber bands & a pair of hair clips, Fatema gave me a clock & Devanshika gave me the cartoon cup.

       A Real Children's Day today... Thank you so much appa & amma. ... Love you both...

On My Birthday....

       Really enjoyed this day...

       Went to school this morning and gave sweets to our Principal Jareena Mam & also gave her some books for our school Library. This is the usual routine from my 4th birthday, that, on my every birthday I used to donate some new books to the library.

       Later amma accompanied me to the classroom & she left. After our class teacher Vinpreet Mam came, I distributed sweets to all the teachers & to my classmates. It was a fun day.

       All my teachers wished me & few of my teachers told me that I look so cute & lovely in my birthday dress. Actually I have planned to get a Ball Gown kind of dress for my birthday, after finalising my character for the English Exhibition, to be held on 19th Nov 2011. But till yesterday evening the character has not yet been finalised, I thought I would get the dress later & bought this three fourths & kurti for today's eve. This dress looks very decent & elegant too. I love this...

       Later I gave the party invitations to all the girls who were present today. Arwa, Devanshika & Vigasini were absent. I planned to give them on Monday. I wonder how could they attend the party on Monday, 14th Nov 2011, Evening. I wish all of them to attend my birthday party.

       I searched for Leslie Mam to give sweets. But could not find her. Might be she was on leave...

       I had abacus class in the evening. I went inside, both Swathi Mam & Anandhi Mam came out of the classroom to wish me for securing SILVER in the National Competition. Also they wished me for my birthday. Appa said he would come and pick me up in one hour, as the class today is for two hours. Mam agreed to that and I came home in one hour.

       After reaching home, Chitta thatha & Preethi Athai came home to wish me. Chitta thatha is my Dad's Paternal Uncle. Preethi athai gave me a dress for my birthday. Its again purple coloured three fourths... But the pattern is quite different. Nice one. They had their dinner with us.

       By 9 pm, we went to the Ashram. Prayed very well. spent some time there & before coming home, went to the beach, after so many days & sat there for a while. Nice wonderful breeze. Quite refreshing...
     
       Enjoyed this day very well.

My Birthday Bash...

       Oh... Its more than a  month.... Totally immersed in my Abacus National Level Competition on Nov 6th & my other to-be held competitions, the coming week.... and have had a little time to get back to share few on my birthday...

       Yeah... Today, the 12th Nov 2011, I am 10 years. I had so many plans.... But my health is not favouring me... Day before yesterday (10th Nov) early morning, I had severe vomiting & slowly the temperature increased. Might be due to indigestion....

       It happens every time, when I plan my birthday.... I have never ever celebrated my Birthday with my friends... This time I have planned to call all the seven girls of my class... we girls are only 8 in number, including me. Again this time its an utter failure...

       Normally, we, in our house, celebrate all our functions with only either three of us or just with the addition of my grand parents (Mom's Parents & Dad's Parents), sometimes with my 2 uncles & aunts. Not a single person from outside would be the invitee.... functions strictly restricted to our own family.

       I tried to break this several times by calling my friends... but every time some or other things happen naturally and my attempts would fail.

       But This is my 10th Birthday.... I asked Dad about the celebrations.... Much to my surprise, he immediately agreed to that, as this time, even though its my 10th birthday, both my Grand Parents could not come over here, as they are engaged in some important works.

       We planned my Birthday in Kwality Walls- Swirl's. Ordered cake outside & planned the menu. Made arrangements for a party a day before, thats on Friday, 11th Nov 2011.  Now that everything has been postponed to 14 Nov 2011, on Childrens Day... AN APT DAY FOR PARTYING.... Right??!!!

       ANYWAYS, NOW I AM PERFECTLY ALRIGHT. I have got a new dress, a blue three-fourths & a red short kurti for my birthday. It looks really great on me. Love it....

       Mom & Dad gave me The Bailey School kids Series for my Birthday. My Grand Dad & Aunt gave me presents, during my visit to Chennai, earlier this month. Thanks all...

       Will be back soon.

Its Fun Time...

Yep... It's fun time.

We had a real fun this evening in Fatema's House.

       I joined Mrittika to Fatema's Birthday Party. Mrittika's Grandmother dropped us at Fatema's House in her car. Amma bought one  book, Over 500 Incredible Facts from Focus Book Shop as a gift for Fatema and also she bought another book for me, Over 500 Fabulous Facts.

       In Fatema's House, apart from we girls, only Raghav and Harsh from our class were invited for the party. Her brother Hussain's friends, Relish and few other boys came from our seniors. We played different types of balloon bursting games, one with a chit in a blown balloon and every one has to burst their balloons with a pin and has to search Fatema's name in our chit, the other balloon game is to hold our partner (mine is Vigasini) back to back with our hands entangled and a balloon was placed in the area below the shoulder. We have to press the balloon and have to burst the balloon with all our strength. Another one Kashmir to Pondicherry Game, that was quite interesting and enjoyable.

       After our games session, the cake cutting session started exactly by 7 p.m. So many yummy delights were served. Apart from cake, mouth watering samosas, kachodis,  piping hot Maggi noodles, Pastas and desserts were being served. We all had our stomachful.

       Fatema gave us return gifts. A Winnie the pooh, diary kind of note books for girls and Ben Ten watches for boys.

       Shweta Aunty picked Mrittika and I, from Fatema's House along with Devanshika and dropped us home. Amma came down to thank Shweta Aunty.

       While we climb our stairs, Amma told that she was very much worried as it was getting late. Ofcourse, it was late, by around 8.45 p.m., but not too late.

       I told her all about that party and  she asked me write down all these party fun to blog.

Fatema's Birthday....

Today is my friend Fatema's Birthday.
     
       She has invited all of our friends for the birthday party this evening at her house. I want to go to the party. But, I am not sure, as Appa is not in station. I have to ask Mrittika. If she goes, let me also join with her. Let me hope for the best.

       Planning to gift a book. Yet to buy. Told amma about that. She said she would buy one after sending me to school.

Yeah... Getting late for my school. Have to catch the bus... Bye... See you all soon....

School Instructions....

       During my social period, this morning, Vidyalakshmi Mam announced through our inter class mike, on behalf of our Principal Mam, that we should not wear tights to school on colour dress days and small tops (with jeans) or so. We could wear jeans with somewhat bigger tops. Also gave instructions, that one should not give gifts on their birthday to other children and also should not cut cake in the school. If the children, inspite of their warning, bring cakes and gifts, it would be sent back home.

       I know that the instructions with regards to the dresses, might be started because of our seniors and super seniors.   I have seen many wearing thin tights with very short hip level tops. Normally, the tights would show off our structure very well. That too with very short tops means, it might have looked awful. That is why Mam has given such a strong instructions. Many could not understand why Mam is telling. But we should lend our ears to listen to what they are saying.

       I am very much confused with regards to the instructions on cake. I never cut the cake in school for my Birthday. But this time, amma & appa told me to celebrate my birthday in school, as I asked them to call my friends for a party that evening, as it was my 10th Birthday.

       Looking into several issues behind that, Both agreed to give a big cake to the school and asked me to celebrate my birthday with all my friends there at the school. Initially I didn't agree to that and later I gave up and agreed to that. All this happened yesterday and today in the assembly Mam is announcing this instruction. I don't know how am I going to celebrate my 10th Birthday.

       Amma told that we have lots of time to think about that and its a mere waste of time to discuss this now. Also she asked me to prepare for my Abacus exam.

She is right in a way... my ultimate aim is to achieve in abacus. See you soon.
