It was my sons birthday... For me birthday is a lovely memory... Achan and Amma blows a few balloons hangs it up.... A cake was the luxury then with lovely homemade food.... A few guests..... A camera man ooooooohhhh it was awesome..... I have to thank my mom and dad for making those lovely surprises..... And teaching me small happiness made life much more happening and fine.....

Today Achan insisted I had a shot with him... Amma sat with us and got a free kick..... Achan was talking about his father and his mother and after a long while all three of us had a hearty laugh...... Lovely feel....

Everyone made unniyappam I made mango appam.... It's nice though... Love my cooking.... Self Praise hahaha...

Work was indeed lovely a lovely comment from a family we helped... 6 children in the family and they said Kerala is great.....

Vishu is here.... The dark clouds have a silver lining.... We have to remember today is ours let's celebrate that we are alive.... Now will never come a 2nd time.... Enjoy your being.... Enjoy every min.... Yes I am.... I am waiting like a small boy for the kaineettam from Dad and Mom... I told I am the youngest at home now... Old times... But miss Nisha Sandeep....

HAPPY VISHU....

Lock Down Diary Day 13

 Lock Down Diary Day 13

Today was hectic..... I did not know time flying.... Extension of the lock down created a little unrest in all those Guest workers in our district... Can't blame them..... But it's for our good......

I just started feeling that yes everyone has a pain.... Met someone who started telling me abt himself and. I was deep down thinking I am alot better.... I know all of us have issues some deleberately created and some coincidental.... We just have to move on.... BUT MIND YOU NEVER TO FORGET.....

Today I polished my house and our heaven looks soo heavenly..... I felt free doing it cos I had no one telling me not to do... The bhajans in the morning and the evening and the cleaning and the lovely times spent together has brought back a feeling of love and trust.... All those gaps created seems to have flattened up....

I pray and hope our beloved Prime Minister and our great Chief Minister and our honorable health Minister have good health to continue the lovely work....

Also pray that all those relentless service providers and volunteers have a healthy safe time tooo...

Love you all

Lock Down Diary Day 12

Lock Down Diary Day 12

The lock down is going to be extended..... Life has come to its rudimentary stage... People have gone back to food from the gardens.... Everyone r reconciled to the fact of being at home and life seems slow but cool....

I felt I missed being formally informal so today I went to office dressed... My dear friends it did make a difference..... I felt good sitting in office today....

My Toastmasters meeting happened and I miss those energy doses of the live toastmaster meetings.... But still meeting all of them is fun....

I get to work on all days as the lock down gets extended..... I am not sure how the food aspect of all the people from other states will be met.... I am stressed but I am sure things will work....

I love u all and above all I started loving myself..... I am into alot of self improvement and I feel happy am on a lovely route.... A route realising myself what is my potential.... A long lost friend of mine Rakesh Vanamali once told me I have alot in me untapped...... I am searching for that untapped energies of mine.....

Let's all join together and work on our untapped potential and grow

Good night to all of us

Lock Down Day 11

Lock Down Day 11

After a long while I ate tamerind straight from the tree..... Oh my God I really went down memory lane.... I missed by Raji moothamma, my Dad's sis.... Sooooo much.... She used to allow us to do all this when we were young.... I love her and her fond memories will always remain...

Chopped another huge banana bunch from our little garden.... The compound is a little away from our house.... So took amma for a long drive to the next compound..... Sure she enjoyed the trip hahaha....

Spoke to some old friends who really meant alot.... And I feel I am back to my normal self.... People in my neighbourhood say I look calm....

Anyways I have been doing alot of work today.... Dealing with people with varied issues from food to stay..... I am being socially useful and I feel good......

I love my colleagues and the way we work is really nice.... Anyone who is not scared of Corona who wants to volunteer on field please let me know.....

Love u all... Let's take a minute and pray for all of us before we say good night...

Lock Down Day 10

Just realise that life is yours enjoy it to the fullest..... 91000 people have gone and at death of theirs no one even wanted to touch them.... Suddenly we realise that we are one dot in that great universe which could be blown off any time.....

So decided to enjoy it this way.... Being yourself and doing what you want to do is very important...... Be yourself....

Dedication is a word I have heard with job..... I have seen many people dedicated to their work like the Armed services say JAAN JAAYE VACHAN NA JAYE and I have also seen people who make lame excuses not to work.... Proud of those who show integrity in what they do.....

I salute all those who support willfully our administration to succeed....

I made a small video on stay home stay safe with a dozen of languages accross India... This was in association with the work I do... Realised we speak somany languages but when there comes a call we stand as one The Stong Indian.....

I have had valuable time with my parents and relive being the pampered again.... I miss my son yes Rishabh is missed... But being the son of a mom and a dad who has a larger perspective about life makes me stronger... I have over come so much in life and this too shall pass....

As I go to bed today I hope and pray that all of you have a great day tomorrow and a rested sleep today....

From now my life would be on a different ball game altogether.....

A new ME in the ME will be with the ME controlling the ME to..... Hahaha suffrening from fatigue.... Sleep guys....

Lock Down Day 9

Lovely lovely lovely... I planted a Jamba Tree 18 months back and yes she gave me the first lovely bunch of fruits..... It was such a lovely feeling when Mom plucked the first fruit and kept it at our alter.... The tree too has an achievement quotient.... We say what ever we do do it for God.... So her first fruit for God.....

I cooked something which was nice.... A sweet mango chutney..... Recipe could be shared... Chef Naveens's special mix... Also rolled the pooris out.... My dough was loose but the pooris were lovely.... Self Praise...

I felt Doctors are God's....Suchitra Sudhir aunt's today's post of a lady at her door step middle of the night.... The lady was bleeding and Auntie took the little one alive and happy...... Many hospitals rejected but Dr Suchithra Sudir did it... She said she forgot abt corona and all and did wat she had to.... We should either make the Dr that stand in front of a doctors name as DEAR or we should tag a H H in front of their names as His or Her Holiness Dr So and so...

I agree now ICU is I SEE YOU OH God..... Only God in the form of Doctors and Nurses....

Work front am meeting a set of government employees who are sooooo dedicated and working for a single objective...... GO CORONA....

Lovely day folks....

It's time for me to say good night....

Hope tomorrow will be absolutely nice for all of us.....

Day 8

After years I carry a tiffin box and a water bottle and a towel.... Wife is in her place so my mom and dad and I are at home... The feeling of being the small boy at home brings back soo much of good old memories... I know that tiffin is filled with love and good wishes.... I enjoy the feel and that love.... My son shouldn't go to the open to eat.....

Its been retrospection through these days as to wer am I as a person moving.... WHO WILL CRY WHEN I DIE..... not the book but yes who will genuinely feel my loss.... Cos over a period of time we have become so self oriented that we have forgotten to remember faces we met everyday.... Yet we have time...

Work wise, I got a call from my Toastmaster friend Bhanu Prakash of a guest labourer who has been in trauma..... He has gone out of his head because he can't work... Poor guy is now being counselled....

We have somewhere forgotten work is just part of life.... And not the other way....

As I tuck into my bed let me wish all my beautiful loved ones a wonderful night and a fantastic day tomorrow...

Lock Down Day 7

Today was a less packed day... Seems like the food from government agencies are hitting the destinations...

Oh today I had to call a contractor and he had given his wife's number as his official number..
. My call went in I said I am from the Labour Department and the matter is serious, the lady kept me on call and went off on a verbal diarrhea.... .. Poor guy I am sure the verbal Corona would have lasted the whole evening.....

Feels a little relaxed that the number of cases are decreasing.... Our brothers who work outside to see their family is safe are the ones who have been tested positive on Corona...

Kerala survives by the PRAVASI Contributions.... Please do not degrade them... Please support our brothers and sisters from the middle east who r suffering who r back here....

Together we can and we will be victorious....

Lock Down Day 6

I never felt it was a Sunday...... A community lunch with flavors from every part of Kannur from my lovely colleagues and over and above I feel deeply touched by the love everyone shares.....

Work wise I learnt not everyone is same..... Just because one person lied everyone else will not lie.... We were able to clear calls which came into the centre....

Above all we malayalees proved that we will never allow anyone in our locality to go hungry.... No politics , no religion, no male female.... But just one human being for another human being.....

AHAM BRAHMASMI!!!!!

THATWAMSY!!!!!

We again proved we see the God in every one around us.....

The Labour Dept has gone to the extend of setting up television sets with cable connections for our guest employees..... Dinesh V Dinesh of the Labour Department seen in the picture after installing the television at the guest labour camps....

Proud to be part of all this....

Lock down Day 5

Awesome learning.....

If we did not have a stomach what would we have done..
Maslows need hierarchy really works..... Wen food is done the next comes up.... However bad the situation.....

From time immemorial we have been taught ADHITHI DEVO BHAVAH....
Our state is so good to our guest workers... Food provided, recreation with television sets.... It's actually the best we can do....

Proving that we have learnt what we were taught....

I am enjoying every minute of it..... Lovely team to work with.... Feel so comfortable and feels like I have been a part of the team for a long time....

Lock Down Diary Day 4

As I go to bed today I feel soo nice... A few stomachs are full due to my direct or indirect involvement..... A thanq call for the food received made me feel sooo nice... We have such luxurious meals my friends.... For them some rice and a Dal makes it.....

We need to thank our Government for being soo prompt and for the rapid action and over and above the local administration which is soo strong...

Our safety is their main aim....
..
Enjoyed my day 4 with the immigrant no the guest workers.....

Stay home, our government will be there, stay safe....
