Amma...

I felt sad when i heard the news of the demise of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalitha. I am not her fan neither i have to do anything with politics. But still as a human and as a woman i was upset. 
Amma was always there as a leader as a lady politician since my childhood. She was strong and had her own personality. She was different. She was leader of masses. But now she is gone. There is emptiness feeling. I know it will go with time and things will become normal after sometime. But watching those people cry for Amma, people who loved her so much makes me feel really sad.
I pray for the people of Tamil Nadu in this moment of grief. May God give them strength and a future good leader too...

Hope makes this world go round...with no hope people will stop living life...
So, always hope and pray for the best in future...

Sleep Apnea - A sleeping and breathing disorder...

Those who go through the pain can only understand it truly...

From past few years...I am also suffering from the sleep disorder called...'Sleep Apnea'..
Like many, even me and my family didn't know anything about this sleep disorder..
When i couldn't sleep and was very tired and stressed... for few months we were clueless what was happening to me...when i started falling while standing and sleeping while eating and even blacking out between conversation...and i could not do anything about it.....it was very very painful and stressful. I consulted few doctors but they also possibly didn't knew about this disease. 
Then someone told us about a doctor that could possibly understand my problem and help me...I went there told my problem and...he said you are suffering from sleep Apnea..get tested to confirm it...He told me what was the symptoms....and no one will understand the pain i was going through...i was in tears...at last there was someone who knew about my sufferings...
Finally, i got tested and i was diagnosed with critical case of sleep and breathing disorder that could lead to coma as well...
Well, its almost more than 6 years now.. i am using the CPAP machine while sleeping. Life is better now. I am trying to live life as normal as it could be...Machine is just a substitute...i still miss my carefree sound sleep...

May you all be healthy..let there be less pain...less suffering and more happiness and love in this world...
Thanks for reading...
Love you all... :)

A 'Good Night' Sleep!

After a long tiring day everyone want is a good and sound sleep. To take rest and get ready for another day. Many people are lucky to get a sound and fulfilling sleep.
Few are not that lucky, but some are really unfortunate in this matter. They suffer from a breathing disorder called Sleep Apnea -- A potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts. The person can't sleep properly at night and as a result he feels tired, sleepy, depressed at day time. Sometimes the person is so sleep deprived that his brain shuts automatically for rest. It can cause serious accidents. It can be really dangerous.

There is a test that confirms Sleep Apnea. A CPAP Machine that helps proper breathing at night so that the person suffering can get a "good night" sleep. After getting some sleep the patient feels better. But he or she will have to use the CPAP machine with mask always to get proper sleep and rest.

Fact:-
Sleep apnea is a condition that causes brief, repeated pauses in breathing throughout the night. In addition to affecting your slumber, sleep apnea can threaten your heart health. Sleep apnea is a risk factor for high blood pressure, which raises the risk of both heart attacks and strokes. Sleep apnea also is more common in people who are obese. 

Love You Kids..!!

My Dear Sister...

Mere Zindagi ka hissa ho tum... 
Bachpan ki yadon ka kissa ho tum... 

Woh choti si behna... 
Woh pyari si gudya... 

Badi ho gayi hai... 
Mujhse dur ho gayi hai... 

Tum jahan bhi raho... 
Khushyon ki barsat ho... 

Har tamanna ho puri tumhari... 
Yehi dil se doa hai humari...

{Ameen}

VARSHA RITU AAYI...!!

Nadi, naale taal thy sukhe...
Dharti hui pyaasi thi...
Har prani amber ko dekhe...
Badal ghir aane ki aas thi...
Udaas hue thy khet, kisan...
Haryaali wapis laani thi...

Chali ek din phir tez hawa...
Saath apne badal le aayi...
Chamak-chamak kar, garaj-garaj kar...
Barkha ne khush-hali laayi...
Dharti ki pyaas bujh gyi...
Har prani ne ye awaz lagayi...

Varsha ritu hai aayi...!!
Varsha ritu hai aayi...!!

{this poem is on rainy season in Hindi ..which i wrote long back in June 2004 for my daughter's school holiday homework....today when i was cleaning...i got this dairy...so just wanted to share this on my blog...}

WIFE VS. HUSBAND

A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. 

An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?" 

"Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws." 

W O R D S 

A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day...  

30,000 to a man's 15,000. 

The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men... 

The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"

CREATION

A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can  be  so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time." The wife responded, "Allow me to explain . God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;

God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!" 

and……this is the best one “the silent treatment” :D

The Silent Treatment 

A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to  wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.  Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would find it.  The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up." 

God may have created man before woman, but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece. :P

THIS IS FOR SMART WOMEN WHO NEED A LAUGH AND TO MEN YOU THINK CAN HANDLE IT !! :)

Honesty is The Best Policy -- {not always}

Hi Everyone...
Writing after very long time...this i had written long back...almost a year...sharing with you all now....thanks for reading... :-)

This is no story--its real--read and know today's truth--

Guess what a person gets for being --
Simple, Honest, Sincere, Loyal and Hard Working these days--

Well...Its not hard to guess....
Because everyone knows that these words are worthless...
it does not exist in real world...or...
very few still believe in it...

Just like this person--
He was too much into his work and less interested in other
activities...such as-- praising his boss for nothing...
regular visiting seniors home with gifts...of course...huh!!
taking commissions / favors from contractors.....
and sharing it with others......
Khud Khao Aur Sabko Khilao...
{be corrupt and let others also be}
So..it was unbearable for others who were clever enough to
be in good books of their seniors without doing much...

Then it started...
The person was mentally tortured and harassed for being
highly qualified and experienced and above all being honest...
Others didn't want him with them....
Months and year passed....the situation worsened...and..
at last he had to QUIT his job....
Honesty failed....as always...or you can say...as most of the time...
Is being good going to extinct??

Maybe not...Still there is some hope...because of
some good people...those who are brave enough to stand
against the bad...no matter what the situation...
A BIG salute to them....
Hope we see more honest individuals in future...

Be Brave, Be Honest, Be Yourself....
God is with us...

Love and Regards... :-)

Miss You....

I still hear your voice...
I still miss your hands...
Today again I live within your traces...
I still see you...
I still feel your warmth...
Today again I live within the time spent with you...
In some stranger who passes by...
In leaves that fall and dance in the wind...
In the evening wind that touches my cheek...
You are in everything I see, hear and feel...
How about you ?
How about you ?
Do you feel the same way ?
How about you ?
I still feel you. Like this...
Even at the moment when I'm singing this song...

Note :- These lines are not written by me...

I thank the writer for these beautiful lines...

luv ya...  :-)

Frozen Shoulder

Do you know what 'Frozen Shoulder' is?
Maybe you have heard it before.. like me....
But I never knew i'll also suffer with this problem...
There's lot of pain in my right shoulder and hand...
Can't move it without --- OOHHH!! OOUUCHH!! :o
So...for now i have been adviced to give full rest to my right hand...
I know...It is near to impossible...but i am trying...yes! i said 'trying'... :-)
And in addition i have to go for Physiotherapy Treatment daily for at least a week...
Will have to do some exercise at home too...lets hope i get relief from pain soon...

So...What is 'FROZEN SHOULDER'?

Frozen shoulder is when the shoulder is painful and loses motion because of inflammation.

Causes:-
The joint capsule of the shoulder joint has ligaments that hold the shoulder bones to each other.
When the capsule becomes inflamed, the shoulder bones are unable to move freely in the joint.

PAIN -- it has become integral part of my life...sad but true...

Lets hope and Pray that no one suffers from any kind of pain...

Love You All ...... :-)
