Attended my first cousin Swathi's wedding. Managed to get pictures from my sister only now. The first word that strikes me when I envisage a Tam Bram wedding is a "Marathon". A three day fun and frolic filled event for all of us involving a lot of leg pulling activity courtesy scores of cousins, sumptuous lunch for us, the non-stop rituals, changing sarees often, those heavy jewellery, managing the nine yard saree and repeating those hymns.No wonder one gets to learn to be patient by then.Indeed attending other's wedding is really enthralling. Right from Janvasam to Reception to Unjal to Kalyanam ,Valayadal to Kattusadham(bidding adieu to hordes of folks accompanied by gargantuan lunch) ..the endless list proceeded by a tear jerker moment for the bride's side. I could empathize with my Aunt and Uncle.Finally we all folks landed up getting exhausted making umpteen rounds here and there volunteering, managing my niece nephew and not-so li'l sis..

" Good friends are hard to find difficult to leave and impossible to forget ". Friends mean a loot in everyone's life and play a vital role too.They are the elixer of our lives that makes us go around,brightning our lives & bringing sparkle to our eyes.Have a good friend in life and life is like " Bed of roses ".But a strain somewhere will make matters worse.It is a very fragile relation.When u have them u feel heaven but when u don't :(( .

Thanks to Arvind Kejriwal whose visit to Jindal for cure of perennial cough did a word of mouth promotion of Jindal Nature cure thus increasing my waiting period to a whopping 6 months! I visited the centre for treatment of Cervical Spondylitis for a fortnight. Of course I got an additional free 'obesity' diagnosis. The centre was a 'mini Delhi' of sorts with so many from the capital visiting for various ailments. Now coming to my stay and treatment.. As nature cure is all about drug free treatment I am amazed at the variety and choices offered here and the way things are planned down to a tee. The staff and dieticians are well trained and help you with the day to day grind. The treatment comprises series of Ayurvedic massages/basti/packs, diet, physiotherapy, acupuncture, exercises, walking and yoga. Everyday revolves around awesome organic food, healthy juices, herbal teas, supervised fasting, periodic doctor consultation and occasional cultural programs...
