I wrote a few weeks back that I finished one mindfulness course. It seems there are three parts to the course, and I enrolled in the second part. The third module of the course focused on teaching me how to manage stress. Meditation is one way to handle stress, the instructor explained. Then, I was…

What’s the story behind your nickname? My Dad used to call me “pulli suppudu” when I was little. Pulli means tiny details and suppudu is a name of a person I think. I remembered everyone’s birthday and so many other details 😀! I was compared to one of his cousin sister. She is no more,…

We made a trip last weekend. Unlike other trips, this one involved multiple social gatherings, and I learned multiple lessons. I understood my very special boy is not a kid anymore. He is a fully grown adult. It involves more planning. I will be keeping those in mind when I make a trip like this…

Moving around or traveling with an autistic person is not easy. Not many people know about the disability. Autistic children become autistic adults and it becomes even harder. We attended a Healing and Meditation concert with our boy at Now Arena in Chicago suburbs. I was surprised to see this message. This really helps not…

What foods would you like to make? Food postings usually get a lot of views 😊. Therefore, I am going to make an attempt for this question.

Today, I successfully completed the Mindfulness and Wellbeing: Foundations course online. I followed the course instructor’s instructions to do the course slowly. I took my time and did not rush over it. It had a lot of practical exercises that I needed to follow. I then had to do a reflection on it. So how…

Are you seeking security or adventure? Many of our friends are moving towards retirement and we are not far behind. I had a conversation with my husband as to how we should have some adventure with our savings. Life is unpredictable but we do not need to live with that fear. My social media newsfeed…

What do you think gets better with age? As we age the eyes start loosimg power, the knees buckle and inflammation is all over our body! Doctors become our best friends and blood draw becomes a routine. But as we age we get the maturity to handle things. We learn to prioritize. Years of experience…

We bought a jasmine plant couple of years ago. When we took the plant out for spring/summer this year, we noticed the leaves had become yellow! We just wondered if we took it out early. So the next trip to home depot we got another pot. I think we created a friendly competition. The old…

My paternal grandparents would be celebrating their 80th wedding anniversary if they were alive today. I have heard multiple stories about their wedding, and to think back, life looked so simple. My grandparents got married in Shencottai, a small town in Tamil Nadu, India. Electricity was just getting popular at that time. The homes did…

We walk every evening at a park near our house. We can view July 4th fireworks from that park. The park is not usually crowded, but on July 4th evening it is usually crowded, and getting out of the park takes 45 minutes. We therefore do not miss fireworks. It is part of our evening…

On what subject(s) are you an authority? I found these at a museum I visited last weekend. The inventors of these items would have never imagined that their products would be at a museum decades later! The world keeps evolving so much. If I say I can type fast on a typewriter, 45 words a…

When I was young and growing up, it was my paternal grandmother’s job to chop vegetables. She was perfect in her work. Our refrigerator always had boxes of chopped veggies for my mom to cook. When you have cut vegetables you decide the menu fast and cooking becomes easy. Yes, she was a great person…
