Puthiya Nilave from Bandmaster

I heard this song in the car, somewhere last week. One of those happy tunes that put you in a positive mood. Just watched the video, while looking up the song in Youtube. Such contrast. Seems more of a heartbreak song. Nevertheless, SPB nails  every emotion possible. I cannot remember watching this movie, though. Have you ?

By the way, Hello everyone. It has been a while since I wrote, and this is my post for March, I believe.

The weather here in Malaysia, my home state of Kedah particularly is beyond words hot and humid. Months since it rained and our garden is in a sad state despite us watering it. On most days we keep indoors and nights are totally dependent on the air conditioner. And, we wear more cotton, these days. Read the newspaper today and it reports that our dams are heading to critical condition. Hot, hot and hot. And I truly hope, rain answers us real real soon.

I am watching Super Singer Junior 2019, as I am writing this. Who am I vouching for ? Undoubtedly Rithvik, Viper Vaaiyan. He is natural and super talented and above all, he sings with ease and no whatsoever signs of stress.

How about Poovaiyar ? Guppies. I was never a fan until I watched the video on his life. This boy is only 9 and yet he is the breadwinner in his family. He is supporting 2 of his siblings to further their education. Is not that something that deserves a huge applause ? Okay. Agree with many. This is a talent show. He does not lack it but he is not as brilliant as Ritvik, but he is a winner in his own rights. At least that is what I believe. He is bound to win as Vijay TV harps on sms votes and Guppies has a huge following. My point of view. Take note.

What else ? Hmmm. Our new government is trying hard. Rome was not built in a day and most of us are giving them every chance possible despite the lackadaisical attitude of some new politicians. But, our Prime Minister is a blessing. He is wise in his words and moves and we are all thankful for his return to the political arena.

We have yet to go on a vacation this year. No planning, even. Soon. Soon and will keep you updated.

On another note, I was diagnosed with GERD somewhere in early December 2018. It was a harrowing period in my life. I was referred to my local hospital's emergency unit, even. From shortness in breath and immense chest pain to sleepless nights as well as lack of appetite. I lost about 5 kgs during that period and dropped to a scary 46kgs. I tried everything. From exercising daily to watching a strict diet. It helped me improve my condition. But I had rapid improvement after consuming yogurt as a part of my daily meal. The last medication I had was on January 7th 2019. None since. I do get slight acid reflux but it is still very much under control. I will write about it more soon. It would be helpful to those of you having the same symptoms as me.

So, I guess this is all for today. March the 23rd 2019.

Here's wishing you all blessed days ahead. Do not forget your prayers and do spend your free times with loved ones especially your aging parents. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And, love elevates our lives.

This is me, signing off, with love.
