Oru Jeevan Alaithathu from Geetanjali

Just finished watching the highly anticipated Dhanush-Shruthi starring, "3". Came out of the theaters, pleased and content. It was, indeed, a great watch. A normal love story, with the regular ups and downs - but, with a twist, in the form of an untouched subject, in Tamil cinema. 
I loved the movie, regardless of what the critics say...... 
I adored the motorbike scene in the movie. A folksy and free spirited moment that tugged my heart, tightly. And, the back ground music that followed those moments. Argh... so, super, sweetly, romantic... Oh, as I would say, "Semma, semma  romantic....."
I am expected to be free this weekend. Free as in not out and about. Free as in at home and lounging around. I do have a-to-do-things, though. Baking muffins and a simple coffee cake, some amateur sewing, gardening, finishing my Lauren Oliver's Delirium, downloading some great old songs that have been playing on mind lately, doing a collage for my Facebook Timeline and the routine weekend stuff like laundry, cleaning etc etc etc.
Mum is great cook. And, she bakes, wonderfully. I get most of my tips from her. She will be chaperoning me. Am thinking of vanilla, lemon, butter and ginger for the muffins. Hmmm.... cooking is a little tiring but a great way to unwind, especially when the recipe turns out just the way you want it to and topped up with compliments. 
Guess I need to hit the sack. Tired. And, the internet connection is very much slow. 
Good night, sweet dreams.....

Poo Pookum Osai from Minsara Kanavu

And, I am back. At last. After being MIA for quiet a while. Blame it on work and the super busy weekends. My posts for March are numbered. Apologies. 
The weekend that passed by - was the same. Had a blast with my girlfriends. A great weekend with lots of food and blocks of fun.  You would never be able to sum the amount of laughter we had..... Argh - I so miss the last three days. If only we could all have that "rewind" button just like our DVD players....
Can you believe that April is just a week away ? No laughing matter that time ACTUALLY flies.  
April - Our Tamil New Year. 13th this time around. Looking forward to a wonderful celebration - eagerly. Hope the Almighty has sweet, great things in store for me - as well as for each and every one of you. What is life, if there is no sharing. Correct ??
I am signing off for now. But, will sure be back this Friday night, 30th March. I would have 4 days to think of an evergreen. One which most of us have stopped to think or hum of..... 
Have a beautiful week, ya !!! 
This one is for my awesome gal-pals......

Inji Iduppazhagi from Devar Magan

.....அள்ளவரும் கையை ரசித்தேன்
ஆளவரும் கண்ணை ரசித்தேன்
அடங்காமல் தாவும் உந்தன் அன்பை ரசித்தேன்.....
என்னவோ சொல்லத் துணிந்தேன்
ஏதேதோ செய்யத் துணிந்தேன்
உன்னோட சேரத்தானே நானும் அலைந்தேன்.....
நீ செய்யும் யாவும் ரசித்தேன்.....
திருடனே உன்னை அறிந்தேன்
திருடினாய் என்னை அறிந்தேன்
இன்னும் நீ திருடத்தானே ஆசை அறிந்தேன்.....
ஆண் தென்றல் உன்னை அறிந்தேன்
அதில் கூசும் பெண்மை அறிந்தேன்.....
The week went by delightfully. With special utterance for 5th and 7th of March. Thanks to - you know who.....
The rainy season is back, here, in Malaysia. Sungai Petani, my hometown, as well, as Penang Island, both, have been experiencing, heavy downpours, practically every day. It is a blessing, actually. The weather is cool and uplifting.
I slept a little longer this Saturday morning. Felt like doing so. Despite, the rays of the gorgeous sun, seeping through my window panes, aptly trying to wake me up. Weekends are my favourite. It is great to sit back and enjoy the day - without having to drain the brain way too much.....
Went out with my girl friends for dinner last night. It was a blast. We had a big dinner - accompanied with large doses of laughter. Fish Fillet Carbonara, Tom Yum Mee, Claypot Chicken Rice, Rojak, Watermelon Juice, Barley as well as a large cup of Ice Kacang, as dessert. If you are clueless about the food mentioned, do google for images - you should be able to get the picture, of what a humongous dinner we had.....
Signing off for now....
Will write about the beautiful moments some other day - when a great situation song comes in mind - befitting the spell he put me into.....
For now, this is my song for the day.... For my கள்ளச் சிரிப்பழகா..... உள்ளம் மட்டும் உன் வழியே நானே.....மறக்க மனம் கூடுதில்லையே..... Mogn....

Oru Vaarthai Solla from Ayya

Happy March everyone..... Three days since the birth of  third month of the year..... 
Went shopping with best best buddy and my ardent ally - my sister. Today, it was fabric hunting. Felt like an episode of Project Runway. You know, the part where the aspirant designers shop for materials. I did, exactly that. Waded through the miles and miles of gorgeous textile, with ideas, constantly popping. Loved the spirit it put me in. Ended up buying 2 meters each of magenta Hideaki Japanese Soybean Dobby Collection Fabric, a red and black Napoli Fabric as well as four pieces of 2 meter remnants (which were 'all' great buys...). 
Headed to the tailor's right after, and placed orders, for all 6 pieces.... Yippie !!! Yippie !!! Yippie !!! For six new sets of salwar kameez tops that I will be owning at the end of the month...... And yes, I have - become - a salwar kameez addict..... The attire has bowled me over.....
Signing of - want to go make dinner. Something simple and light. It is nearly ten, now.
Take care. God Bless. And, stay glowingly, happy !!!!!
p/s - 28th February's Tuesday morning will always remain significant to me..... He rarely uses my name - but did so, that morning. "Shall-Nee...." he calls as I walk. I turn around, to see him give me that larger than life look. "Thanks..." he continues. I smile, and say, "You are welcome..." He makes me walk on air. It's a feeling I cannot describe in words..... The closest, would be - ecstatic.....
