Women's day..

Women's day.. celebrated annually as to focus on women's rights such as gender equality, violence and abuse against women,.  When we get to the roots of where it all began, why there is a separate day..  why is it on Mar 8th, since when the day is getting celebrated.. We can go way back to 1909 when the idea of women's day  originated in the U.S. with the American Socialist Part. In 1910, a German feminist advocated for a global day at a socialist women's conference in Copenhagen. The following year, events across Europe marked the day, and during World War I, women used it to protest the armed conflict, which lasted from 1914 to 1918. In 1917, International Women’s Day is observed on March 8 after a massive protest in Russia that led to the country’s eventual withdrawal from the war. The United Nations officially recognized the day in 1979. It's important because the day is as a rallying point to build support for women's rights and participation in the ...

Start from scratch..

  Somehow the phrase "Start from scratch" always make me feel rejoiced, how cool it is to have something like a reset button in life for a new beginning. At times we need to utilize the luxury of erasing out the past and starting life from the scratch. I understand that it's easier to say, but we could still give it a try for our own wellness. 'What's the purpose of my life..? ' Have you ever asked this question to yourself? Well you are not alone, many of us did. May be that's when the whole realization kicks in. And the very thought of starting from scratch itself is a good thing for a new beginning. All of us are here for a purpose. Firstly we should understand it and come in terms with our existence :) Lucky if you are heading towards it without much hurdles, while most of us have to go through something on our way. But remember one most important thing, we haven't given up and made it so far. Let's take a moment to be proud of it and then move...

Hope.. Belief..

Our lives are mostly like a roller coaster rides, lots of ups and downs. It reminds me of a scene in one of k-drama series , someone would ask the protagonist to draw a graph of his life. It starts from zero and goes to a peak, then goes way down even beneath the ground level... it was funny to watch, but I had felt exactly the same. So much happened that sometimes I couldn't realise the goodness around me. I would feel like it's not my cup of coffee. I became so hard on me, stayed away from rest of the world. I loved being in my very own world.  My mother always said that what we think comes to us, if we fill our thoughts with positivity then we attract positive things. I admire her very much for being my positivity. Despite of all her health conditions right from my childhood, I never saw her complaining about anything. She loved her teaching job, did everything meticulously and her students adored her very much.  She never scolded anyone, always encourages everyone. She us...

Travel..

Do you like travelling?  I always had passion for travel, may be because of my childhood memories. My parents and me used to travel often during summer vacations. Mostly travelled around whole of Tamil Nadu, India.  May be I just love the idea of travelling, right from packing stuffs, counting down the number of days to start of the trip, seeing around new places, trying out the famous local food. Loved doing every single thing about the travel!  As years passed on, just re-kindling my memory on how this passion grew in me. The person behind my passion is my dad, who was also a History Teacher by profession. He shared a lot of Tamil history to me. We used to travel to different places in Tamil Nadu, relating to the History. At home, we used to have many Maps (not google map, Hard copy of official Maps!) World Map, India Map, State Map, District Maps etc.. This helped me to see through the geography of places. Note: I have my own World map, and mark the places visited :)...
