What does love mean to me?

When I hit puberty I thought love was all about kissing and having butterflies in your stomach.

When I grew up a little I replaced kissing with sex and the butterflies remained.

Now the definition has changed in all ways possible. I've learned that there isn't just the romantic Love there is more to it.

It could be the heart swelling when you see your child do something or the smile you have when you think of your parent. This year I've decided that my daughter is my valentine. Sleepless nights and the constant anxiety are all totally worth it. The sloppy kisses that I get on rare mornings are my greatest motivator.

To me love is all about the level of comfort I have with a person. You really love each other if you can fart and burp to your heart's content in each other's company. If you can have conversations about that then you are in the next level, haha!

Everybody sees love differently but most would agree on the comfort part. My friend Srilakshmi and I see things differently but this level of comfort is what we both agree upon.

It's all in the little things really. Like having a lazy day together like this! (I am mentioned in the story and I'm totally excited)

I found the perfect recipies for lazy valentine's days. No bake strawberry cheesecake and eggless whole-wheat brookies. Made these for my valentine and she loved it! I wish I could send some to Srilakshmi to have another lazy day with her beau.

Note: This post is written for the 'love theme' contest by The chennai bloggers club in association with woodooz and Indian Superheroes . A collaboration with Srilakshmi, you can see her blog here. It was great knowing pro bloggers like her I have a long way to go! Hope y'all had a great valentine's day!

To the fussy maiden!

I recently took part in a woman's forum meeting at work. The issue that was mostly discussed was men staring at women for their looks, their clothes etc etc etc. I don't know how long it will take women to realize that when we dress up all glam, we are surely going to get some "appreciative" glances every now and then. Making a fuss about it is a waste of time! You could do that when you want to show off that you are getting some attention. Women dress up, and men get attracted. Thats basic human nature. The animal instinct. You shouldn't be complaining about it! The pervs do the wolf whistles and stuff to get attention. You should not react to them, react as in get angry, flirty, upset, happy, everything counts. That means that they win! This is one valuable lesson to remember: learn to ignore. Nothing can rebuff them like being ignored. I don't know how many ladies are going to get upset about this post, and I frankly think I am right.

My Music - A Gift I Lost

In recent times, a couple of my school friends asked me, 'why did you stop singing?'. Until then I did not realize that I was not doing the 'real' singing I used to do. I had forgotten that I used to Sing,sIng,siNg,sinG SING all the time! If not excellent I was atleast passable. Only after my friends asked me 'why', a memory buried sooo deep that I had forgotten about it for nearly 7 years surfaced. I was in the 10th grade that time. There were two of us girls, who sang at almost all the events. The other one was a first ranker, excellent in music, so in short - a star. On the other hand I was like a sidekick, I get to sing at the school assembly and she sings at the Annual Day... well, you get the picture. I did not bother about being not-as-good-as-her in music, I was happy until I was given the chance to sing. And then this happened. There was some kinda contest, and the school choir gets to sing in front of some music director. And we all felt like '

Unjalur :)

Well, I'm posting this really late... 11 weeks late!! I have a very nice friend, Barani Jalandar from college. She had been asking me to visit her native for long. And i had been smitten by the idea of celebrating pongal in the village... and the fact that there is River Cauvery running through their village made it all the more alluring. DAY 1: So we decided to go there for Pongal this year(13th thro 17th Jan'10).. We both bunked college on 13th Jan to avoid the holiday rush in the bus. We started from Coimbatore early in the morning at about 7:00 in the morning and reached there roughly at 9:30. After landing at Erode we decided to go on a shopping spree before we went home. Well before I proceed further, Unjalur is located between Erode and Kodumudi and is 45 minutes away from Erode. Now that I have got the location right back to the shopping... We took a mini bus ride from the bus stand to panneerselvam park, where all the shops like Barani Silks (which was the ta
