Here I stopped by, to reflect my yesterdays, being an observer of my own life...Past is like a dream...past incidents:favourable and adverse, experiences:ecstacy and misery, feelings:pleasure and pain, are all dissolved, incorrigible and cease to exist now.Present is all about awakening from the dream, being in the current moment fully awake and preparing for a future of our dreams!!
Success is an on going process. After one success there is another greater challenge waiting to be overcome...there is no time to rest on our laurels, life is a continuous strive to meet expectations, both ours and of the world-----Bindu----- More of it at http://portraitsofyesterday.blogspot.sg/p/as-i-see-it.html

Onam 2012
Tomorrow is Onam. Onam is a feeling, its a happy, nostaligic thought, its a taste of mother's preparation of a complete meal serverd on banana leaf, its a remembrance of the beauty of pookkalam we made as a kid, its a wonderful memory of the best ten days of holiday, its a remembrance of meeting relatives, its a smell of new clothes. Onam touches all the senses with a comfortable warmth that brings a beautiful feeling of goodwill.
The flower blooms, colourful butterflies, bright skies and dew drops on grass in the early morning are mere memories...but I am glad, I was fortunate to see it, know it and live it.
Here is a complete read for all those who asked the same question as me on why it was not a triumph over evil that we celebrate but a triumph over harmony and prosperity:The flower blooms, colourful butterflies, bright skies and dew drops on grass in the early morning are mere memories...but I am glad, I was fortunate to see it, know it and live it.

Theyyam - the Dance of Gods
Singapore Arts Festival - 2012
Thanks to facebook, I stay in touch with kith and kin, friends and aquaintances more effectively.Envying - frequent travellers, enjoying -jokes, wishing - on birthdays, congratulating - on achievements and sharing - only joy.Its a way to relax and look at what others' are doing :-). Its a virtual world, virtual in happiness and feelings.
Recently I came across Soorya organising Theyyam , the dance of Gods. It was a mind blowing experience. An art which is popular in Northern part of Kerala.I probably would not have gotten any opportunity to watch it if I were in Kerala. Thanks to Chitrechi for posting it in facebook - thats why I wrote a paragraph about facebook :-). I was in dilemma until the last hour on whether to go or not since Sajeev was in India, but finally decided to take Aishwarya and my dad to watch it. Thanks to gothere.sg, google maps and iphone and some friendly people we met on the way, we reached there on time.
First performance was of - Muchilot Bhaghavathy Theyyam. It was a colourful and rhythmic performance by the artist and I was awed by the details of the facial make up and the decoration often wondering how he is carrying the weight of the props.Second was the playful - Vishnumoorthy Theyyam - this turned out to be Aishwarya's favourite.Third, Chamundy Theyyam and last but the most fierce and awesome - Agnikandakarnan Theyyam. Agnikandakaran Theyyam is an art of managing fire. Imagine the amount of heat the performer is subjected to. There is a team member always looking out for mishaps.Its the immense trust a person sets on another of his creed that makes it more beautiful.Its winning mind over matter or over the most fierce element of pancha bhootha - the fire.
On the way back I was happy that our rich cultural heritage could be shared with my next generation..

Caribbean Flamingos
After a day long trip to the Jurong Bird Park, Achu was excited.
On the way back she was talking non-stop. Suddenly her eyes widened and she told me in excitement.
"Amma, I saw a question in Winx Club magazine, 'Where are Caribbean Flamingos found?' I know the correct answer now !!!!"
Thinking that Achu learned something useful during the trip I asked with the same zeal. "Where is it Ponni?"
"At Jurong Bird Park!!"
