Treasure Chest

A treasure chest acquired without a treasure hunt, that's what this blog is about......

Many have commented a number of times on my "luck"....Very true indeed....I am very very lucky..... I have never had to work too hard to reach where I am today..... The same "Lady Luck" has favored me in acquiring this treasure trove....

Just in case you are thinking that I am drifting away from the main theme of this blog....... No dear, I am not. This treasure chest is very much a person who has played and is still playing a very important role in my LIFE.

This person has an enormous wealth of love, affection, humour, emotions, dedication.....phew!!!!....the list seems to go on and on..... Her wealth makes me realise how poor and wretched I am......

SHE is a person who gives out her love to others in leaps and bounds. Her affection knows no boundaries. Her emotions always flow freely. Her advices and experiences are as vast as the universe for me. Right from my childhood, I have always pestered her with my countless stupid yet eager questions........ and as far as I remember, there hasn't been a single instance where I haven't received a perfectly convincing answer. I don't know how she used to answer all my questions and most importantly "convince me" (which I tell you is not an easy task).

She is one of the persons who has always been by my side and has kept on urging me to move ahead in life...... Her constant reprimands have always been an indicator of the love and affection she has for me. She has always emphasised on living life the way you want to, only then will you be happy in life. But I must also say that she is a person who loves maintaining schedules and gets very frustrated with with my erratic time schedules. She has acquired this love for strict regimes from her Late Husband (a former military personnel) and unfortunately or fortunately none of their children have inherited this...... :)

Her countless stories of how she managed to raise 3 children with loads and loads of difficulties makes me realise how much ignorant I am to the miseries of the world..... Those stories have inspired me in ways unknown.... The look of pride on her face has always been a motivation for me to strive further ahead....

I know that the amount of love that she has showered upon me can never be matched with the love and respect I have for her, still I want to tell her that I really really love her and long to be beside her always. I know she awaits my visit eagerly but will never say so. Just want to say I am always near her and thinking about her. She is a constant in all my prayers because she is an integral part of my life........

Wishing her the best of health.........

Twin

Don’t be shocked all of you out there……It’s true I have a twin …. Don’t think too much. He isn’t literally my twin …..but yes, HE is exactly like me…

He has always laughed with me, cried with me, fought with me (and later have been remorseful about it)….. That’s why we have always been known as the “SIAMESE TWINS”.

Yes, this blog is dedicated to the person who celebrates HIS BIRTHDAY today….. My Twin….. The person who will eternally be loved by me….. One person, who I am sure will be always with me……. kicking me when I go wrong, pulling my leg till I become frustrated, protecting me from all sorrows & loving me more and more…… That’s HIM……

A truly self-made man, Successful in all his endeavours and a person who will strive harder and harder to perfect himself..... a person who showers his unconditional love on everyone.... considers the sorrows and problems of others as his own and goes out of the way to help people and relieve them of their problems and anxieties...... That’s what this person is all about.....

We have shared this special love and fondness for each other all throughout our lives….. We have shared the same thoughts even when we are separated through miles and miles. He has always been there as an unseen guardian angel…. (though I would prefer “devil”)….. who has gone to great extents to keep me happy, even if that means smiling when he is in the worst of his moods…. He shares a special bond with me…. God has been too partial with me and has gifted me with one of His Choicest Possessions…… This all so caring and extremely lovable person….

Thanks dear for never making me yearn for an elder brother...... I know I have you in my life, then why do I need anyone else..... I just want to say that I am extremely grateful to you for gifting me with such a great relationship to cherish all my LIFE......

Mystical lady

This LADY is one of the few ladies who have been very close to my heart from the day I have met them. Actually, I don’t even remember the first time I met her.....(it’s too distant a memory). But, who cares about when you meet a person....what actually matters is how long a person is a part of your life....She is one person about whom I can surely say “She is a part of my LIFE, as long as I have a LIFE”.

Yes, she has been a real companion to me right from our childhood days. She has been much more than a friend to me....SHE is my sister, my best friend, my personal philosopher and guide. It seems that God Almighty has tailor-made her to suit me....understand me.....befriend me......

A true child-at-heart kind of a person. She lightens up the whole room with her never-ending laughs. She can change the mood of a party in a jiffy.... Her persona reflects in what she does also. I have known her since she was a small innocent girl ready to open the flood gates of her tear glands, but, the way she has evolved herself as a resilient woman is worthy of high accolades.

A person with very well defined principles and goals....that’s what this MYSTICAL LADY is all about.

Our friendship had started when we didn’t even know the meaning and depth of this feeling. It all started with the need of companionship of a person........ Now, when I look back at all those years that have passed by, I feel an immense sense of gratitude towards this lady. The way this friendship has remained, in both our hearts, through all the ups and downs in both our lives, is amazing. A very pure emotion that has helped me tide over difficult situations in life and has filled my Life with loads and loads of cherished memories........That’s our FRIENDSHIP......

I thank this LADY for bestowing upon me a very rare kind of love and affection...I thank this LADY for making me realise the true meaning of friendship....I would also apologise to this LADY for all the occasions where my irrational behaviour has caused much pain to her......Just want to tell one thing...... “I will be there for you....Today......Tomorrow....and thereafter.......”

Wishing the BEST OF THE BEST for her.....Forever......

My Soul Reader

This blog I dedicate to the only person who knows me inside out........This person understands the slightest change in my tone or voice. He (yes, it's a "he" this time and not a "she") recognises, every single emotion that passes through my face (even when I try hard to conceal them).He is THE one, who, I believe, has the solution to all my problems.....Yes, and it is very much true.....HE not just has the solutions to my problems...He has the BEST SOLUTIONS to all the problems.....Yes, he is the "Problem-solver" where I am the "Problem-maker".........He is indeed my SOUL READER...

My Soul-Reader has not only read my Soul, He has also taught me a lot, which has helped me equip myself so as to protect my soul. He has not only taught me to stand up......he has taught me how to take a stand on things. He has not only taught me how to walk .......He has also instilled in me to have the strength to walk alone when required. He has not only taught me how to speak.....He has also taught me to speak up for myself. He was the person who held my hand and taught me how to write....but then, how can I forget that he has also taught me to write my own destiny? He has understood the needs of my soul and helped me let it free to explore new horizons......... Yes, he is indeed my soul-reader....No more than that...much more than that....

My soul-reader knows my soul so well that he finds ways to satisfy all the needs of my soul even before I realise that my soul is yearning for something..... He knows exactly what is the BEST for me. Even when I cry and yell and proclaim that I am totally unhappy with what he is suggesting, I know I am 100% wrong and he is 100% correct....

He has traversed through many a difficult path so that I am happy for the rest of my life. He smiles when I smile, He consoles me and makes me smile when I am crying, He stands up for me and is always beside me as a pillar of strength..... Yes, he is God's own messenger, especially sent as a guardian for me.

He showers his love upon me even when he is angry and is scolding me.....I know all the anger in him is because he loves me a lot....Yes, I am the "Apple of his Eyes"...there is no doubt about that... His love and affection has helped me reach where I am now. Under his patronage I know I will be secure and will have peace of mind.

He is the person, whom I look upto....A guiding force for me....A source of enlightenment for me....A source of happiness for me......A source of love for me...... I LOVE HIM.....I can't tell you how much....But, one thing is for sure......I would have been a totally different person if it had not been for him...

I LOVE HIM A LOT and owe my entire life to him.

Thanks for making life a celebration for me........

Lady Luck

My Lady Luck.....

Yeah I have my own personalised lucky charm....She is the only person whom I could think of to start my blog...So I start with HER....

My Lady Luck has suffered a lot in her whole lifetime and yet, has always been my sweet angel... always smiling upon me...Her face beams up when she flashes the million dollar smile of her...Oh!!! I LOVE HER SO MUCH...

I am a die-hard fan of this LADY....She has been (and will continue to be) my IDOL forever....I know she is not perfect, but in the end who is perfect???? No one. For me she is one of the best things (or in my best friend's words..."bestest" things) that has happened to me. I actually thank God Almighty everyday for this wonderful gift in my LIFE.....Infact, I would not have had a life even, if SHE had not been there....

She makes me smile whenever she feels I am down...She brings out the child in me when she feels I becoming too mature....She makes me believe that there is still goodness in this world when I crib about how bad people are...She strengthens me when she feels I am about to weaken...She supports me when she feels I am all alone...She scolds me when I do something that will harm me....She guides me through ways which she has already tread upon, facing loads of hardships, so that I don't have to face any of them....She teaches me how to live life to the fullest....She teaches me a lot of intricate details and nuances of life as she cares for me....

Yes....In all ways SHE is my FIRST TEACHER....My GURU....The one who breathed life into me....I don't know how to thank HER for all that she has been doing all these years for me...and the fact that she does all this without any intentions of personal gain...she does all that jus because she finds pleasure in seeing me happy...What could be more nobler than this...What else could be more apt a gift for me in this life...

How on earth am I ever going to repay for all that she has done for me????(As if she cares!!) But still....all that I can do is....Love her...Love her...and Love her more and more....

I LOVE YOU...Want to say this to you...But I am sure you know it already....

Thanks for being MINE....

A new beginning.....

Dear all......

I make a new beginning today.... The thought passed my mind of writing a blog a few days back but wasn't sure about it....I wanted to write 'coz someone once said I express myself better in written words as compared to verbal communication. The next problem was what do I write about....

Recently saw the movie "Julia and Julie". I was impressed with the concept of the story in which "Julie" writes a blog expressing her emotions as she cooks her way through "Julia's" cook-book. Me, not being a culinary expert, left apart the idea of cooking my way through a cook-book....but then I thought..The blog was a medium of expression for "Julie", and same will be the case with me too....

It took several days for me to makeup my mind and start BLOGGING!!!!!

So here I am........ Priyanka Parameswaran... dedicating this blog to all those people who have played a role in moulding my life and giving it the shape as you see it now....

Through this blog I would like to thank all the people who have been a part of this beautiful celebration called LIFE.....

I will be dedicating one blog each to every person.....Since I won't be mentioning any names so you all can keep guessing about whom each blog is........ looking forward to your comments.....

Last but most importantly....Thank you all for being a part of my life......

Love you all......

Thank you so much for giving me such a beautiful life..........
