A Start.

Born in God's Own Country i.e. Kerala.....grew up in what was then called The Malay Peninsula and now Malaysia.....moved back to Kerala on Dad's retirement...went to college at Eranakulam,Cochin. Marriage to a young surgeon in the Army Medical Corps meant moving to all corners of India...till his retirement from the A.M.C. We were even posted to Kala Pani!  But more of that some other time.Now we are in Mangalore where my husband is into his 2nd. innings.

Motherhood brought with it all the joys,heartaches,anxious moments....now I understand why they say that a woman is complete only when she attains motherhood ! It has been a wonderful voyage so far.I think we all grow wiser and more mature in the process.Before I knew it the kids ( a lovely son and a beautiful daughter ) had grown up and had spread their wings...first for studies,jobs and then to star their own families.In the process now I have not one son and a daughter but two  loving sons and daughters! I am blessed indeed ! 

With time on my hands now is the  moment for me to put down my thoughts in blog form.This is completely new to me.So kindly bear with me.

This month is my dear departed mother's 1st death anniversary. I am about to leave for my ancestral home to take part in the rituals connected with it.When I come back I think I'll try and put down my memories of her last days.  last.
