A friend of mine opened up to me in the lift. We were in the midst of talking about the weekend being just two days away when she told me she was rushing to the hospital to see her ailing dad. He has been battling cancer for 7 years and is currently in stage four. I was shocked. Speechless for a moment. I had tears welling in my eyes. How can I not ? Dad. Father. Appa. The most precious word to me.
If you've read many of my posts, you will understand that this blog begun with memories of my father. The greatest love of my life who left too soon but has never my heart and soul. He remains an integral part of my life. Not a day goes by without me thinking of him or the memories we shared. It has been more than twenty years since his passing. But he is in my life - everyday. Somewhere, somehow. The beauty of parents. They leave their marks and prints on you.

We had a three day weekend here. So, I rested well. Did cooking. Cleaned up the house. Lazed around. Had great conversations over food with my loved ones. Talked for nearly an hour over the phone with my precious extended family, which was long overdue. Read some great articles. And, here we are, hours before Tuesday, when everything goes back to norm.
Hey guys, do you know where can I actually get a legal download of the movie Majili, with subtitles that is ? Beep me ya, if you know. Watched some snippets in Insta and the movie seems lovely. Zealot kind of a movie. That's why yours truly is so enthusiastic. Besides being a true fan of the ravishing Samantha Akkineni.
May 23rd is just around the corner. A favourite girlfriend's birthday. And "the" day for Indian politics - which I know nil of. But I want to know the results, nevertheless. We had a rocking win. Malaysia. Our 4th Prime Minister returned with a bang to helm the country as the 7th, from a very corrupted government. I adore him. Tun Mahathir Mohamed, despite being 94 this July 10th, is wise and well read and put our country high on the pedestal. He is facing a lot of issues with the present inexperienced cabinet but he knows his job well, and there are four years more for improvements and miracles. Here's wishing my India the very best !!
I do not miss India as much, but she runs through my mind daily. Memories I have had while I was there. The recent one was of the Padmavathi Temple in Tirupathi. Fondly known as Alamelumanga Temple, the beauty of this place of worship is very prominent when the crowd is lesser and the lights are all lit up. The aura. Simply beautiful and peaceful. India. Is. Plain. Beautiful.
I don't watch serials. Here and there at times. And, I get them all mixed up. Amma does though. Vijay TV serials. As they don't run for infinity. She is watching right now. So, I'm blogging. Or else, we would be talking over things, and life and news and such.
It has been weeks since I actually watched a decent Tamil movie. The last I watched was the excruciatingly long Marvel - End Game. Three long hours. The only other one I have watched is Antman. I loved that. But being totally clueless of the Marvel characters, made the movie seem ages long. The first hour was purely conversations. The second, flashbacks. The third, the war. And this is the first time, I got acquainted to Thor. Funny, right ? I've never seen him before. If you ask me to watch again, I will not, but it was pretty decent. Except for the length.
I'm looking forward to July. Meeting up with 5 of my best friends. My darling uni mates. We've planned an overnight stay. We have all been busy and occupied. Finalizing a date that we all can agree on, has not come easy. But we managed somehow. Hopefully it will go as planned. I miss those girls and the memories we shared during four years of our uni days. They have remained an integral part of my life and we chat daily on this private whatsapp group.
Going to be 9.45pm soon. I'm signing off.
If you have watched a good Tamil movie in recent times, please ping me the title.
If you know how I can get my hands on Majili with subtitles, please ping me too.
Here's, me saying take care and have lotsa beautiful days ahead.
Stay blessed and say your prayers, no matter how busy your day.
Love,
Shalu. R
P/S :- Enna song ? You suggest. I'll give it a listen and post in my next. Thanks in advance.
