MY PRAYERS FOR 2018 - Mrs. Bhooma Sundararajan

Good bye to 2017.
One year has gone by ...
A very eventful year indeed........
lots of happiness, lots of mental tensions, lots of fights and lots of forgiveness.....
A blend of all emotions !!!
What 2018 has in store for me, I do not know.
I pray to that Brahman, who is invisible to my human eye,
To insulate me from the sways of worldly emotions.
I also pray to Him to give me the power and energy to attach myself only to Him.
Let my body do my required duty but let my mind be occupied only with the thoughts of the Almighty.

AN UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTER OF NAVARATHRI IN MARCH!!! - Mrs. Bhooma Sundararajan.

On a saturday in March, I went to sector 10A market to get milk and daily stuff like vegetables and fruits. When I entered EasyDay - a departmental store that has all the daily needs, I was surprised to see that it was overflowing with eatables like dry fruits, potato chips, sabhudana fry, roasted peanuts, silky ladoos, roasted finger chips, rasagullas, milk cake, gulab jamun ,shrikand - sweetened yogurt cream and many other such mouthwatering stuff. I noticed that all the shops in the market were overflowing with similar stuff. I wondered what the reason was!!!! My curiosity could hold me no longer. I asked a shopkeeper the reason for the rush of these items. He told me, " madam navarathri Vrath ke liyae aayyaa hai " - it has come for navarathri fasting. I was puzzled, for I thought navarathri was celebrated in the month of September or October during the Dussera time. Any way, never mind that... what puzzled me most was the sight of wide variety of mouth watering food for the 9 days of fasting!!!

YOSEMITE, A TRAVELOGUE - Mrs. Bhooma Sundararajan

My first visit to Yosemite was in 2011 on my 49th birthday. It was also my first visit to any national park. My kids were students then. They had no knowledge of driving. My sister and her husband took the responsibility of taking us there. My son, as I mentioned before, gets very excited when it comes to going on such trips to see the natural places of the world. In his  excitement, he jumped like a small boy of 10 years old, only  to hit his head on a chandelier and  crack his skull with blood flooding out and soaking his shirt.   Cancelling the trip was in our minds, much to his dismay. I guess it was his firm determination and willpower to go on this trip that healed his skull in one day. My son was on an internship in a company and my daughter was visiting  LA to attend a conference. Here I must appreciate my kids, sister and her family for the effort they took to make this trip happen especially when money and time were two constraints.
