Sowmya's Blog... The Voice of a Girl!!!

The word "just perfect!!!" ( the most im.perfect benchmark) is heard and used pretty frequently by most of us. I am not an exemption. It is because, I do agree to the fact perfection in work is needed for a positive outcome, but at the same time I believe it's not a benchmark to determine and grade an individual and his/her standard. For instance; "I just love her, only if she is perfect!", is a degrading and equally a depressing phrase. "Well it could be much better, only if it was done with perfection..." is far better than the former. But, "it is fine if the job done is good enough", is even more relaxing. Perfectionism - A Perplexing Personality  According to psychology, Perfectionism is a complex personality trait of an individual, (tagged as a perfectionist) coupled with both positive and negative aspects and is often seen in females, freaking them to the core. It is so true and this condition can be closely related to OCD...

Every girl dreams of marrying a man of her dreams. And for me, he is some one who could love me for being me, understand me, correct me if I am wrong and ofcourse respect my thoughts and individuality. Luckily I could find that someone special, who could bring the magic in my life, and so we tied the knot for a forever just 2 months ago. On the big day... It is obvious that, on the wedding day, every bride will be happy and excited and I am not an exemption. But at the same time my mind was so occupied with several thoughts, unanswered questions and few worries which I now know are really not necessary.  My thoughts... Here are some of those that went across my grey matter during the celebration and these could be common for almost every bride. I was thinking about my mother, who showers her unconditional love and the pampering I get from her. I thought I will be missing it. And then it's my dad, my hero and a man who did everything he could to watch me happy. ...

Being a Vizagate, I feel that I share some unknown affinity towards the lovely ocean and the sandy shores. Luckily, my better-half was sharing a similar taste with me in admiring the azure beauty. Into a new chapter in our lives since a month and a half, we choose to spend some time travelling all the way to an archipelago on a holiday.  So all we did was planned and packed our bags to hop in a plane and land at the Andaman.         W e had a chance to explore diverse waters and enjoy their glittering shades for a week. I could notice a child still alive in me, while I was running and playing on the shore.           I found my craving to get the best while searching for a smoother pebble, a more constructive coral and a brighter shell hoping to carry it and preserve it as a memory.         Serene surroundings and the musical voice of ocea...

            I f you wish to get relaxed in a serene environment rich in lush green woods, azure sea with sparkling shores flooding with marine life and breath in some unpolluted air, then all you need to do is to take a tour to the splendid outpost of India, the ANDAMAN...          A ndaman Islands, located at the juncture of Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea, and are a perfect blend of nature's beauty, marvelous marine life, and the incredible monuments of historic significance.                 A million varieties of under water corals, which provide shelter to diverse marine flora and fauna, spectacularly colored fishes, distinct varieties of other island life forms like the Dugong (sea cow), salt water crocodiles, turtles, butterflies and more explain the great biodiversity seen in the islands. ...

W ell, it really took time for me to get here, but it's just because my life gave me more than I deserve...  On this happy note, I couldn't stop myself from making a post and looking at how my life unfolded following the change... "Life is all about living it to the fullest.  Your Attitude and Your Choices make it all... " Always remember that you are the artist and artisan of your life and you can carve it just in the way you want it to be, your chisel and mallet being the love and belief. All you need to do is to simply remain positively positive and accept everything that comes right in your path.  Everything coming on your way is no good nor bad. It is all the way we look at things.  That is all what I did and that is all keeping me happy today and of course helping me hope for a better tomorrow. B ut, to remain positively positive one need to believe, learn to love and live right from the mistakes of past. I do believe that self analysis...

Due to diverse reasons I am not frequently using my space these days, but couldn't hold my thoughts on the wonderful art, I am into since a child, on this celebrated day of the year. On this International Dance Day , let me first take an opportunity to wish all the dancers and those who can understand its language a great time!!!  DANCING --- How it feels...   "Dance is a universal means to communicate. And to experience the bliss hidden in this divine art form, all one need to do is to open up to it." I consider myself gifted and blessed cause I am a dancer myself. Every time when I get ready to stretch my arms and tap my feet on the floor, every time when the music flows in the air, some sort of liveliness, strength, excitement and fresh energy coupled with a bit of nervousness kicks in. My body is going to find some movement and my soul is going to go on a tour. The divine world we enter into while practicing the art cannot be explained in terms...

This could be a bit different one of the posts I often do, but thought I should bring this up in my space. Its about an influential and an impeccable woman (I shouldn't miss the tag important) in our lives and that is none other than my maternal gran. An artist, a sweet singer, a great cook, and of course a good mom - all these can be the synonyms of my gran, who is undoubtedly an industrious and an ideal lady I knew since a child. Having her attention was like having the sun shining brightly upon the green pastures. The warmth in her love and the affection in her speech could be felt even today. She was a resourceful love who, made us learn several things in such a way that they still ring in our ears.  Ever after this sun set, I remember her as a confident and a graceful lady, totally independent and of course a caring woman.
