Some people like to say “everything happens for a reason.”.
There was a reason why I was in Australia.
There was a reason why Amma and Appa met Meenakshi's family and were happy to share the news with me.
There was a reason , we spoke for the first time over Skype in September 2009, started falling in love and got married on April 26 2010.
All these happened more than a decade ago and today that's the reason we are celebrating our 10th Anniversary. 3650 days and counting as they say...From our moments of togetherness, to feeling treasured, that's a fulfilling relationship.
Today 26th April , 2020, Meenakshi and I planned to celebrate it with Rishab by deciding to make his favorite Chocolate Oreo moist cake. Yes it turned out to be as delightful as it looks.
While we were blushing with joy, Rishab stole the moment to decorate and present it to us and celebrated that day as God's own gift.
As beautifully written by a Poet,
"It's that look in your eye
It's the smile on your face That makes time slip by,
And I know I'm in a better place.
It's the memories of you I have
That make any grey sky turn blue
And lets me know these feelings I have Are true
Getting lost in my dreams
With the mere image of you
It's hard to imagine; it seems A future lost, one without you.
So I leave my arms open, And I'll wish and may pray, Eyes focused and hoping For your embrace just one more day."
Happy 10th anniversary Meenakshi (Lavanya)
Music changes you and the world around you. Once you start learning, more than just mere appreciation, helps the player and its listeners deal with their emotions.
As per Wikipedia, even Einstein even attributed much of his scientific intuition to music, with his son Hans recounting that "whenever he felt that he had come to the end of the road or into a difficult situation in his work, he would take refuge in music, and that would usually resolve all his difficulties."
Today was the concert organised by Musikinder where Rishab is learning his KeySteps in Piano class. It was their Marathon Recital Opus 32 held at the The Arts House.
There were close to 22 musicians from all age groups from as young as 4 to 15 years old. The parents were as excited to see their children performing solo on a stage and everyone were taken through a musical journey for 60 minutes.

Sports Day are a big part of a child's educational experience and can teach them a lot about mental and physical toughness. Sport shapes their body and make it strong and active.
From the way each and everyone performed during the sports meet, it showed that all their hard work and training paid off. They all did very well.
Finally, everyone who attended had fun at the sports day!

Your hard work deserves some warm, thoughful words of recognition. We are proud of you.
Happy Graduation !
There are many things i want to tell you but lack of words and time distanced me from expressing myself. Today is a special day to me when I missed you so much than before.
No matter what, You were always with me by my side. You always trusted me and made me what I am today.
I remember the time we used to spend at the Marina Beach, getting wet in the waves, leaving footprints in sand, making sand castles, eating at Nala’s near Music Academy and the weekend film marathon at Pilot theatre.
You helped me finish my pending homework, aching imposition, driving me to school and still smiled at me. While i was busy sharing all stories of my work and accomplishment, i failed to listen to your stories — about your world.

You were disciplined, punctual and always enjoyed learning new things. Whenever i visited A.C.Tech, you taught me to appreciate the art and the beauty of Engineering through your simplest explanation that even to me as a child then, made everything joyful to experiment and learn.
When I spoke to your students today even after 40 years of their graduation, they remembered their favourite Prof.M.R.V and recollected your exceptional teaching skills, soft voice, pleasant demeanour, distinctly stylish walk and dapper dress sense in an otherwise matter-of-fact engineering college. One of your students said,
“He used to address us Students as “Friends” and was the first professor who made us actually believe we were going to be engineers”.
You let me experiment with Life in my own way and pulled me up when fell. You always made me see things my way and then give your view point.
You also made me get angry with you and loved me more after that.You were always hardworking, courageous, trustworthy, dignified, honorable, inspirational, precious and of all my best friend.

Appa as I called him passed away today on 20th May 2018. May I be born again to him if there is a choice — Atleast i will have a second chance to improve myself.
There are lots of things that make a Father happy hearing his Child speak for the fist time. There are few things that makes him happier when the child learns and discovers "weird ideas that work".
Children are always fascinated by science. It makes things interesting, mystifying and deeply, deeply cool. With deep love for Science especially Physics, I introduced Rishab to the basics of Magnets, Electricity and Motors. There is no better way to know "How Things Work" than making it hands-on for the child to understand.
We finally made the video of his First science experiment on the day of his Grandparent's 42nd Wedding Anniversary.
Hope you enjoy this.
