Dramatic Style

First time I performed a skit in Bay Area with my husband. I am so happy. The skit was written by my Papa long back. I did it once in our school. That time I got the best actress award. The same one, "Enne Pooda Patty Aakoo" I modified into American back ground and we did it together in Santa Clara convention center on Church Parish day (Nov 13 2011). Myself, Shery, Beena, Sibi, Tony & Teena acted in it...It was a big success...We gave our son to Jiby chechi to take care. He is 11 months old.
I also acted in John Kodiyan's drama, 'Kozhutha Kalakutty' as parichariga. Tomorrow they arrange a pot luck family get together. Drama was good.

I am happy that now many of them know us. We got many friends.
I love acting:)
Thank You

Art And My Life

ART, in all it's various forms, is the single biggest source of my ability to feel connected to the world. It's easy to feel alone in our daily life. Art connects me to the outside world through paintings, photographs, dance, act etc.
I shall be an artful parent for my son, Samuel. I will find time to play art game with him. I am sure it encourages creative expression, imagination, joyfulness, and a love of learning.

THANK YOU

Mother, son - A New Life

In many cultures it is common practice for men to work and the women to stay home and take care of the kids. I agree with this role. Your time with your son and your family should come first rather than going for a job. Among the parents the mother has a much larger role to play in a child’s life. My son, Samuel is 10 months old. Since I am there with him through out the day, it is important for me to be a positive and moral role model and example that he can look up to. In this way, I am trying my level best to be a good parent and to be a good wife. It is my role now to be there with him always. I play, sleep, fight, bath, makes him to eat food etc. Remember my son, that I carried you in my womb, fed you and protected you even when I was in pain and suffering even before you were not born. I learned to love more and also the patience because of you. When you started talking, I shall be a good listener. You can share problems and not be secretive about what you do.

This motherhood is a full time career for me. It is my responsibility to take care of you well. Your mamma and daddy are waiting to celebrate your first birthday. I give up my time, my sleep, pleasures etc for you dear Sammy. Mamma finds some time to go for the 'Bharathanatyam' class which is taken under Ms. Mili Arun. I met her in Sylvan park and also mamma, daddy and other 4 people are going to act in a skit. The same skit which papa wrote long back, 'Enne Pooda Patty Aakku'. So I am happy now that I can mingle with many ladies. Daddy is finding time to play, to read books for you etc. He has to study a lot. We are very happy to see you growing. You have now 2 teeth, stands without any support, crawls well, beautiful smile on face. We are trying our level best to take you to the park and to mingle you with other kids. There you have many friends. Some of them are Arjun(Anurima's son), Anand(Karthika's son)etc. You love to see and touch dogs too. We love you baby Samuel. Enjoying this new role-----Proud Parents. God Bless Us!!!

Life After Baby

This is the very exciting moment in our life. I delivered my baby on Dec 01, 2010 at 2:51 pm. It was C-section. I tried for the normal delivery but it couldn't happen.My parents have come from India on Nov 13 to help me. When the baby was born, I forgot my deliver pain. He was cute and handsome. My husband got the chance to cut his umbilical cord. We took many pics of baby. We named him as 'Samuel Joseph'. Life after baby gives me extra power and patience to strengthen the 'Mom' role. I was in hospital for 5 days. The hospital people cared me well with good food and support. They took care of Samuel in their nursery at night.

When we reached home, it was a quite different atmosphere. I started breast feeding my baby in every 2 hrs. I suffered of physical as well as mental pain(post par tum depression:() MY parents and my husband were very helpful. Now my body is recovering of C-section. Still I have some back pain. My mom brought Ayurvedic medicines from Kerala. I started taking those medicines.

My baby is now 6 weeks old. He started smiling on us which nourishes everyone's heart. He likes to be carried always. My husband is trying to make him a well disciplined human being. He is telling that we people are spoiling him by carrying always. Baby started to turn to both sides and sleep. He is our bundle of joy.

My husband and I do discuss things like how we want to raise our little one. Since I am not a working woman, he has to manage everything. He is working as well as a student. So there are a lot of things to do for him. Still we are finding time to love, play with baby and also to fight:) I would like to stay home at least for 1 year in order to look after my baby. My husband is creating a website for me to work. So this is my present role in life......''''MOMMY'''' :)

1st-time-momma (Life's New Role)

I am 28 weeks pregnant.
Ob/Gyn - Dr. Diem Truong
Hospital - Kaiser Permenente at Santa Clara Homestead, CA

Myself and my husband are very happy to welcome our new baby. Pregnancy gets confirmed at week 7, April 16, 2010. We were excited when we saw our baby's first ultra sound picture which looked like a 'raisin':) My first trimester went well without much difficulties. I had some sort of depressions and mood swings at the beginning. He helped a lot to overcome these frustrations. He started cleaning the house, cooking food, caring me, doing shopping etc...such a good person he is...

My 2nd trimester also went so soon...Rather than some mood swings, I am happy and healthy. Great relief when I talk to our parents,siblings; meet our relatives, friends etc. I love walking in our nearby Sylvan park with my sweet heart. There I like to watch babies, pets, elders etc. I started singing songs,talk to belly, listen to music, read story books etc for my baby. By August I started feeling baby movements. Had an ultrasound and saw our sweet little baby moving in my tummy. Most of the time our baby is active at night. My husband also likes to feel the baby movements. He listens the movements with a prenatal listener. So far everything checks out well! Hope I am having a safe pregnancy. With God's grace all things are possible.

This is the beginning of my 3rd and last trimester. My husband and I went out and did our baby registry (mainly clothes)on Labor Day weekend. It was fun! We went first to Great Mall (Kohl shop, Carters, Osh kosh,etc). The next day at Target, Walmart etc. I think we got everything in the registry. We have to start processing visa for my parents. If they are here it will be helpful for me after the delivery. Hope everything comes well.

Life Within Life

A New Journey Through Life

When someone is graduated from college, it's a very proud day. After many years of hard work, they are finally being rewarded with a certificate, diploma or degree. It can be even from high school, plus2 or degree.After some months of happiness it's time to search jobs. I worked in the Wellness Dept. of Apollo hospital, Bangalore for a few months as a Health Counselor. Meeting the new faces in work place. Again new friends. It's the age to get married too. Some people prefer to work for so many years. But I preferred to marry and desire to work, studying, having kids etc after my marriage. I used to spend a lots of time in prayers to get a good partner. My parents were sending me so many proposals. Take the time to choose a partner carefully and well. Then the real miracle of marriage can take place in your life. If you believe in your heart that you have found someone with whom you are able to grow, if you have sufficient faith, then u can begin a new life with that person. I resigned my job. After marriage, me and my husband moved to California and start beginning a new life. The time after marriage seems like a magical one. Romance, small small fights, jokes etc.

In life, many things are there yet to do. Parenting,social work, doing some noticeable and useful things for the society, being a famous woman etc etc...These are all my dreams:)

God's power can work in our life...It's there through out our life...
