Wow Trump!!!!

Trump!!!!
After almost fifteen years, today got an oppurtunity to play trump. Ofcourse couldnt play hardly even one game but then it brought me the excitement of the game I used to love and crazy of.

I was introduced to Trump game when I was in my sixth standard summer holidays. I used to go to my cousins house for vacation. Me,my cousin Vidhya who is three years elder to me and our other cousin Balaji who is 5 years elder to me and the Nirmala whom we call Malu is 10 years elder to me. We four used to stay together in Malus house. That is when the first time my cousin Balaji and Malu taught me and Vidhya the game of Trump. Now me and Vidhya used to be the innocent kind and Balaji and Malu used to be partners and always used to win. No matter how good our cards were they used to win because either they will change the trump card or they will cheat us. By the time I mastered the game and started tracking which cards already were put etc etc..the vacation was over and in my own house playing cards is banned. I really missed it then.

Later I had gone to Balajis house for the next year vacation and also for a wedding in their home town. Balaji's dad my uncle was really crazy of this game and they all used to play this in terrace. A big gang used to play but very seriously. And that time we started to be partners myself and Balaji..He was an expert and if by mistake I put a wrong card thats it he will scream on top of his voice getting really tensed.. By then we both mastered lots of tricks..i mean this cheating may not work with master players..But if we get innocent young kids or cousins then no one can beat us...Changing the trump card, or cutting others card with trump card even if we have the same symbol card etc are all common. But it was fun...infact the serious game used to be even more fun. If we start playing sometimes we have played almost the whole night..Wow Miss those moments. After vacation whether I miss my cousins or not I used to miss this game a lot. At home no way dad wont allow to play and my sis also was not interested in this game.

Later the last time I played this was in VG's marriage. I went to that marriage itself mainly to play trump. That much I was impressed but unfortunately we couldnt play much since we had lots of work in the marriage. Thats it..that was when I was in my tenth..Later there was no time to have a get together or staying in others house for vacation..Each one of us became busy with our lives so trump was out of my life..

A simple game which I dearly loved...To think of it..wow..keeping a card as trump trying to score the points...the rise of tension if the next four cards were crap..the excitment when you see maximum trump cards and big cards...the supporting partner having good cards good timing and understanding..all this counts..all this were fun fun and FUN..Especially the cheating part...only when we are not serious..is also fun...Winning doesnt matter..the fun does matter..Ofcourse if our opponents are not good enough..then no fun playing this game too

Trump probably is the only card game that I was really addicted too..

Miss Playing Trump...Wish this time when I go to India for my parents sashtipoorthy I get a chance to play Trump!!!

Wow Trump :-)

Life Is Beautiful

Generally my mornings will be always busy busy and busssssssssssyyyyyy!!!
Getting my daughter ready for school, me getting ready and trying to give her breakfast...oops..its peak hyper tension time. And inspite of that I. try to keep some songs in the morning. If am in the responsible wife and mom mood , I will play suprabatham or vishnu sahasranamam or some devotional songs and if am in let me enjoy life mood then I would just play some of my or my hubbys favorite songs.

So its just impossible to hear sounds from outside as our house itself will be a source of sound pollution with either the songs or with my daughter screaming that she wouldnt eat or dress up or we both arguing with each other about who is the root cause of being late and because of which we would still be late. So with all this where is the time to see whats happening in the outside world at these peak hours.

But today was different. I couldnt sleep yesterday till almost 3:00 and so by 7:00 for a change Anannya was trying to wake me up. Amma wake up its late its late. And I woke up lazily. I have this habit of forgetting my self when I wake up from a deep sleep. On where I am and what time it is...It was like that today. And then we heard the cuckoo bird sound. It was continously saying khoo..khoooo..khoooo..so cute it was.

So my daughter told me Amma..Cuckoo bird is awake and is trying to wake you up. So I woke up anyway and we both went near the window. She climbed the table and was holding me and we both were repeating the cuckoo sound along with cuckoo bird trying desperately to find in which branch it is and if I could get a glimpse of it.
No luck. But it was a nice and beautiful moment.

Watching the very minimal greenery looking into the tree and finding the bird. It was like a beautiful morning. And there was a small breeze also and it just was wish this is forever kind of a time. Especially holding my princess hand , she hugging me close and trying to look out of window, we both desperately checking for the bird..and laughing was just a cute moment.

At times we get worried or think about unncessary things forgetting to give value to what we have.

What cannot be cured must anyways be endured. So why worry about it.

I remember reading in a hospital a sign board that says...

Congratulations. You are alive :-).

So Life indeed is beautiful. And its really good to enjoy or live every single minute. Take one day at a time :-)

Something to Smile :-) To Me By Me

Sometimes Life is so busy trying to make even mole hills to mountain and envelop you with sadness. I was almost reaching that stage is when I read my friends blog.
It was full of life. Felt so nice to read it.

It speaks only about the good things in life and wish it remains always the same.

So I think whether its possible or not, always better to find some reason to smile.

Make it a resoultion that atleast you need to find some reason to smile today.

Life is not always a bed of roses..and for some may be its full of problems always..But if we start waiting for the problem to be solved so that we can be happy..then that never ever going to happen.

So if there is a problem..but still you want to smile..just tell yourself that..Okay..Take a break..I will worry about it after thirty minutes..and then..for that thirty minutes..may be try and be happy.

Rain drop, Sun rise, Fragrance of flowers, Smile of kids, just looking at my darling princess face, Thinking of nice moments with our dear ones.., Music, Fragrance of coffee, cooking, prayer, incense sticks,toys..the list goes on and on...Cant these keep us happy for even thirty minutes.

So
Its okay if things go wrong,
Its okay if you dont get what you want,
Its okay if you are blamed for everything,
Its okay if words are filled with thorns,
You can still smile...

Becoz..

Smile is infectious..And Smile The world looks beautiful Becoz of You.
