SNOWWW!!!

Snowwwinnnnggggg in Southampton!! Plus cancelled sessions! I'm lovin it! :D

These are times I starve, or rather I don't mind starving because I am too lazy to cook. Making tea or coffee keeps me going. It has been too long since the last time I remember being like this. For the recent years I have been eating more than I do and I usually do not watch my diet because I have never worried about my weight or figure as it has always been like how I wanted. But the rate of eating junk food has gone over the lines in the recent months and I am now starting to worry if I am putting on a bit. Last year had been academically taxing and I had no control over my diet or anything because I had a pinch of time to even cook and eat. And I had not visited home that much last year too so that kept me away from eating so much. But this year is different.
It feels quite different to have a weekend that is lazy, with late coffee and without much eating. Not feeling like to do any work either. More than anything the weather is so depressing. Salt has been spread everywhere but the weather doesn't show any clues as to it wants to snow or not. The sky seems to be staying in mood that it hasn't decided what it wants. Although the forecast said light snow showers for today. At least snowing would bring some joys but this is ridiculous. All I like to do now is reading. Have started reading again after a hectic year. The book I am reading now is one of those I had bought last year but didn't have the opportunity to sit and read.
Loving the tune that plays in radio that I only listened a couple of days ago for the first time. Nenjil nenjil idho idho...
Happy weekend friends!

Happy Diwali / Deepavali !

Troubles as light as Air, 

Love as deep as Ocean, 

Friends as Solid as Diamonds,
And success as bright as Gold.
These are the wishes for you,
And your family on the Diwali!

Have a safe & happy DIWALI !! ♥

DOSA WORLD

Had been to this restaurant during the summer when we went to Bournemouth beach and it was an awesome find!. I was thinking of going to this restaurant for a long time after a friend's recommendation but did not get the right opportunity until then.
I normally love venturing into different restaurants. This one was not so a complete new food to try as it is Sri Lankan & Indian. First we were reluctant to try it but later more than glad that we found such an amazing restaurant that the food was so delicious and lovely with reasonable prices. We have been there many times since. Every time we go there, the restaurant is always busy but I still love the environment. The food is just amazing I have to say again.

I live in Southampton but I make trips to Bournemouth almost three times a month, or even more just to go to Dosa World when I feel like I am missing my home taste. The service is pretty good too except a few times of slight delay. I wish they open one branch in Southampton soon so that it will be much easier.

If you are in Bournemouth and confused where to eat, I would surely recommend to go to Dosa World, it is definitely definitely worth trying out!! Not to be missed!

Happy Birthday Hemanth!

Some people give the gift of peace and tranquility

to every life they touch.

They are always who they really are.
They are blessedly reliable,
dependably good,
predictably pleasant,
loved and treasured
by all who know them.
You are one of those people.
You are a gift
of peace and tranquility.
Happy Birthday!

 Dear Hemanth, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Another year is a happy gift, so begin it with smiles, with lots of good thoughts, aims AND lots of gifts :) I wish you that may all your dreams come true and may this year be one of the bests! Have a blast and enjoy! Lots of love.

Endhiran The Robot!!!

Endhiran in Southampton! And I can't believe this! Usually I need to go to London when I want to watch Bollywood or Tamil films. The first ever time there was a Tamil film showed at Southampton was Kuruvi and minding the film I did not have any urge to go. There was just a single show anyway! Now its Endhiran showing for almost two weeks. I haven't had a chance to go and watch it although I am in Southampton. I am not a great fan of Rajnikanth, one reason being he is not that creative except acting out a few styles and saying some rhyming lines of punch dialogues. I don't see any point in masking up the real face showing a completely young version of him despite the age, an actor should be able to prove that he can act all different roles of any ages, not just the same style.One thing that I should admit is that the stories he chooses are good ones.
I am shocked by the fact that there are people in India and across the world who can go up to the point of doing things that can take their lives away for Rajni for no reason. Well, that is just over-expression and, whether they have enough time and wealth to look after their families or not, they just blindly invest their time on doing prayers and all the other stupidities. Hmmm..!

To catch up

I have been thinking for a long time that I should write something on my blog. At times I remember I run a blog but would not be in the right occasion to write. I always wish that I get to do a lot of things that I want to but somehow only one or two fill the time on hands.
Had a two weeks holiday to SriLanka and it was one of the lovely unforgettable happenings of this year. Although it was awesome, I had not had enough time to call it a proper holiday since two weeks were enough only to visit some places and families. Thanks to God for giving me that holiday though short, which would otherwise have been two stressing out weeks at Uni.
Birthday has gone too. Gosh, can't believe time is going unbelievably fast and I definitely don't like it. Had a great day yesterday with my family and friends. Loved it. Past years have been pretty much the same. I hope this year will bring less hassles and more than anything, I wish everyone thinks good, do good and be good.
Wishing everyone a leisurely weekend!
Take care! x

Lovey birthday post from Hemanth

Thanks so much Hemanth! Glad to have a friend like you.

I wish

One thing that I miss throughout my life time is a Brother. How nice it is to have a brother whom I can care a lot for, ask anything from and who I can fight with all the time. A brother whom I heard stories from when I was little, a brother who tells me off for not studying, a brother who takes me anywhere I want to and a brother who tells me what is right and whatnot.  Most girls out there who have brothers may not realise the value of having a brother, as you do not miss something until you lose it or unless you don't ever get it. I wish I had a brother, to whom I can show lots and lots of care and love and be a best sister in the world. I miss you brother!

Happened to

Travel on the bus after a long time. A conversation between a kid and her mum. It reminded me of another conversation I over-heard when I was once on a bus years ago. The mum was ranting about how hard it is to cope with children and she wished that she could sell her babies on eBay. I couldn't believe my ears. The baby on the pushchair looked only about a year old. Don't you dare to say that just because it is a baby and can't understand how cruel your words are? Pathetic. Really.
Today, the kid kept asking to buy something, it seemed like they were going shopping and the mum shouted, "okay, go off and work. You get some money, and see if you can pay for my x weeks holiday first and then I think about spending money on you!". I guess the kid must only be around 5 years old from the voice.
Just thinking how lucky most of us are, to have parents who do everything only for us. Parents who sacrifice a lot of things for us. Parents who are parents to their children. More than anything, my parents are the best two persons and being their daughter is the best of my life.
Lots of love.

Happy Tamil/Sinhala New Year
