Such nice narartion style u have got..Keep it up :)<BR/> One thing which impressed me a lot in this post was your self-appreciation for being a woman. Even I share that opinion strongly. Even I feel so proud to be a gal, to be a wife and even though I am still to know how it feels like to have a new life inside u...I am very much excited for the various phases of womanhood I have experienced till now..And one more thing..even love, marriage, togetherness..all excite me a lot.....<BR/> Just wanted to share my thoughts and here is wishing u once again a belated happy birthday. And do write on how ur hubby made that day special for u...:)<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>VidyaVidyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13293719434445185141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37296617.post-65404854691709286532007-07-11T22:35:00.000+05:302007-07-11T22:35:00.000+05:30Belated Bday wishes Chitra.

Interesting tho'. Will ask around. <BR/>I am so glad I sound like I am in the late 30s. :) Thanks for all your encouraging words. You are too kind.<BR/><BR/>Murthy, thanks! I hope I am wiser. :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks namvor, yes it is THAT movie! I was lucky to watch it the second time at an age when I could understand it better. Yes, it was aired on DD regional movie slot. Very heart-warming in a differnt sense, not depressing like how it would have been considering the theme of the movie.

(kind of typical R2I post)..<BR/>Nice to know more about you.<BR/>The last line says we can ask questions...<BR/>I have two questions..<BR/>1. I heard that if a kid is born on July 4th in US, then all his education expenses are borne by the govt.. Is that true...!<BR/>2. You are 33 and already 11 years old kind.. amazing, somehow I was always thinking that you must be in your late 30's.. <BR/><BR/>I appreciate all your optimism and positivity in you and your writing...!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37296617.post-40140739781084858482007-07-06T21:34:00.000+05:302007-07-06T21:34:00.000+05:30Chitra,Yes, I too have high regards to Paniamma. E...Chitra,<BR/><BR/>Yes, I too have high regards to Paniamma. Even though I did not understand anything when I watched it, my mother has commented on the movie many many times and it was one of her favourite movies. So, I pretty much know the theme of the movie and the strugglings of Paniamma. <BR/><BR/>I still remember the song..."runner..runner naanu runner"<BR/><BR/>It reminded me of Paniamma when I watched "Water" a couple of days back. I liked the movie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37296617.post-35723349495562053252007-07-06T07:51:00.000+05:302007-07-06T07:51:00.000+05:30Thanks for all your wishes here and on email!rk, I...Thanks for all your wishes here and on email!<BR/><BR/>rk, I said '12th' so that everybody knew what I meant. I did PUC.<BR/><BR/>Shilpa, Vinay, thanks! <BR/><BR/>Nags, Thanks! About Paniamma, I watched it twice, once as a child, and once as a teenager. Both the times it was on TV. Unfortunately, I do not know if we have copies available. I want to own a copy as well. Let me check around. I regard the movie very, very highly. It was very touching on so many levels. The main character's acceptance, patience, endurance was commendable. And of course the times were depicted very well.Chitrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366777951907421254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37296617.post-8513867504959440412007-07-05T21:50:00.000+05:302007-07-05T21:50:00.000+05:30chitra,Belated B'day Wishes.

I remember watching Paniamma as a young kid sitting next to my mother. I did not understand anything then - other than feeling bad about somebody cutting paniamma's pony tail along with the jewelry! I still remember that.

A few years earlier, I would have hardly believed that it is possible to enjoy every moment. It is all in the perspective! I am glad I come across so differently now. <BR/><BR/>Jyothi, thanks for your appreciative words! Guess what? We know a 'Jyothi' who is also in S'pore and working as a s/w engineer. Did you ever work in Wipro? :) <BR/><BR/>Thanks Ganapathy!<BR/><BR/>rk, I am not from KV. What makes you think so? :) And as for the US celebrating, the fireworks were a nice finale!<BR/><BR/>Mahipal, I am still not sure about writing about myself here. But I do have a lot of other things to talk about. I am thinking of branching out! <BR/>About the US and India thing, well I had a fantastic time in the US since it used to most often be a long weekend, and my hub always planned some nice trips. We would do what we enjoyed the most - road trips! And as long as I have his company, I am quite fine! :)Chitrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366777951907421254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37296617.post-21973411015902255222007-07-04T17:38:00.000+05:302007-07-04T17:38:00.000+05:30and just imagine the whole of America celebrating ...and just imagine the whole of America celebrating your b-day!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37296617.post-5551048466409923492007-07-04T17:37:00.000+05:302007-07-04T17:37:00.000+05:30Chitra,A very Happy birthday!!
