Of the memories that rain brings....

Yesterday ,it was raining heavily here , at Chennai, which is the sole reason for this post .
Rain always brings back a jar of memories which I cherish for my lifetime.
I did my schooling (2nd std to 8th std) at these towns called  Shikaripura and Thirthahalli
Especially, the years i spent at the later one, were the best ones in my life till date. It was a typical malenadu town , where rain is your companion through out the year.
Memories were...


 Playing with paper boats like these....



 Or Rolling tyres with buddies like this....



Or Playing hide and seek for the whole day like this......



Or trying to pick jack fruits like these......


 Or tasting the ripened guavas which we stole from trees.....



 \
 Or going down the slope with a close buddy like this....



Or sharing Golgoppas like these......


Or even hot samosas like these !



Or Going to school through a path like this........



That too in an OMNI van like this....



Going to a school like this....




And eating ice candies like these... :)



Or spending time at tunga river with friends and family......


Watching at Tunga bridge daily and praying for heavy rains and holidays ! :) :) :)

These are all super cute :) :) aren't they?????
Couldn't resist myself from sharing this post........... :)
Hope you liked the post ! Have a nice day :) :).

First one :)

The day has finally arrived. I have been waiting for months, to publish my own blog post. I finally decided to give it a shot today ! This gives an amazing feeling. So, what made me kick start my blog today ?
It was an unknown grief that had suddenly hit me because my bestesttt friend for life time , Shalini, got married today who was more than a beloved sister to me.She knew me since i was a small kid or rather i knew her since the DAY 1 i made my entry to this beautiful earth. She is one of the twin sisters with whom i grew up all my life, till now! 
An old picture of shalini and malini :)


My every summer vacation would be spent at their home.My grand mum's home was also in the same apartment where they lived, so everyday would a sleepover feast. Both of them are six years older than me but i never i felt the age difference as a hindrance between us. They used to play with me on and on and on until i got restless. My mum , a math teacher, used to take home tuition for neighborhood children . These two and their elder brother also joined the tuition class since their mum was working and she needed an avenue to keep their children safe. My mum was pregnant when they joined classes....and later i was born. My mum and their mum really got close, as the time went off, since they lived in the same street and that's how both our families came to know each other.

If I turn back at my life now, I can see them as a wholesome part of my life . Right from the SHAKTIMAAN days,to the FACEBOOK days. In case you don't know about  shaktimaan, click here
I learnt all kinds of indoor games only at their home. Cards, carom-board, ludo, chinese-cheekers, Business, pictionary.... the list is endless. We share a loooooot of good memories together and a few bad ones too !  I miss those days i spent with them, roaming with them in their TVS 50. I miss the N number of boli stall visits, the zurrrrr nu adikra pens ,our mad rush to play wwf cards, collecting the RED SEEDS from velu street( this is a special memory which we share and is hard to explain) , multiple visits to satyanarayana temple during my tenth grade holidays,the prayers i do for them during exams and vice versa, music class fun, paruppu saadham we ate,...... the story never ends.
Today, when both of them are married and away from me, though we can connect virtually, it really seems hard to digest. I wish , I could rewind back time and live those day again for a change ! I have never expressed my emotions towards them and i think this a great way to do so. Dedicating my first blog to both of you ! Have a happy married life :)
Congrats, SHALU :)
