1st November- Karnataka State Rajyotsava Tribute

  Adoption and Adaptation. Yesterday was November 1st. Karnataka State was celebrating 70yrs of its formation. The whole city was seen decorated with the Red and Yellow State Flag. People dressed in Red and Yellow colors. Loudspeakers playing the State anthem and patriotic songs..... The Gen Z had made fusion of the old Kannada songs ...upbeat and savvy....Drums and Jazz. Barisu Kannada Dimdiva.... It's been my 26th year anniversary....too. I came to Karnataka in 2000. Initially I adopted and adapted Kannada. After decades,I now realise....the State has finally Adopted me.Though born and brought up in Maharashtra, I am finally spending major years of my life in my Adopted state Karnataka....and completely adapting to Kannada. My both kids chide me" Mom,you are now more Kannadiga than Maharashtrian officially. " Totally Agree on this. I speak Kannada quite well. My Marathi and even Hindi accent is influenced by Kannada. My attire is Kannada.Love the Ilkal an...

My Ears have to hear today

 What my ears hear today...... I came to Hubli in 2000.A quaint town,picturesque and simple.Laidback and slow. The Mumbaikar in me found the place pleasant and unusual both. The hustle bustle and white noise of Mumbai was not here. No longer " My Ears" heard the honking and bonking.....the screaming and screeching.  My Ears woke up to the cuckoo cooing,the birds chirping. Early morning the Ears heard the ringing of bells in households performing morning prayers and " Kousalya Suprabhatam" by the legendary MS Subbalaxmi in the background. The traffic on the road was sparse. But The Ears heard cattle mooing on the roads more than honking of vehicles. Evenings were pleasant. Children would play freely on the streets without any hassles or scare of traffic. The Ears heard laughter and shouts by young innocent kids in the nearby garden.  Nights had the insects buzzing,the crickets chirping,the owls humming.....and soft wind blowing whole night. The Ears which had got exh...

What I choose to SEE

  What I choose to see..... There was Sugarcane growing Farmers agitation in Hubli. The cause for big traffic jam every where. I therefore preferred going on my scooter for my whole day travel from one hospital to another. I was returning back home at 8.30pm ,all tired after a hectic work day. Inspite of being on a 2 wheeler,I face bumper to bumper traffic.I was forced to switch off my scooter and wait for traffic to clear. The Flyover work and the vehicle load along with a very hot weather....Pollution overload. The incessantly honking by some people made my mood even worse. Beside me was a swanky car. It was chauffer driven. A lady was sitting in back seat....in her Air conditioned car,the music system was showing a trending song being played.....and she was at ease watching a reel on her mobile. Looking at my state.....tired,sweaty,irritated,inhaling fumes of the truck in front of me,thinking of reaching home and preparing the dinner and finishing remaining household c...

Best Compliment

 Best Compliment ever. The innocence of a child always touches your heart. The emotions of a child are pure. The words are genuine. I have been a dancer since many years. Since my 5 years of age have been giving performances for Bharat Natyam dance form. Many dances I have choreographed as a young girl and given solo performances in many functions, school annual programs, Ganesh Utsav. Even in medical college- both UndergraduateandPost graduate, I have received many prizes for my dance. Many have appreciated my Bharat Natyam performances even if some had no idea about the art form. " Whatever art form you are doing,We have no idea....thorough enjoyed it "( Aap jo bhi karti go,pata nahin.Par badhiya karti ho.Maza aaya) Nowadays, work and life balancing gives me hardly any time to choreograph nor practice my art form. The performances are handful. Occasional.  As a dancer,I don't appreciate my own performance. Lot of shortcomings and discrepancies.  But, as,disappointed aft...

DHARINi

 DHARINi- The Earth and The Bearer. My blog has no intention of provocation nor criticism.  I am not a Financial expert nor an Advisor. A Woman is The Bearer. Earth here is reference to land or Real Estate. The Woman when she becomes a Mother,her first priority becomes Nurturing. The Woman may play many important roles in her life. But Nurturing is always on her top most priority list,especially if she is career Woman. Once,Motherhood is attained,majority professional women,either quit or reduce their professional work to devote more time in nurturing.  I am not advocating nor provoking nor belittling the Crucial and most important aspect of Nurturing and Caring Responsibility prioritized by a Professional Woman.....nor disrespecting the woman who opts to be a Homemaker. I have always felt the need of Financial Independence in all women....any Woman infact. I was having a conversation with the Bank Manager. What is most important to value a person's as an individual....He...

Surrender to Self

 I surrender.... My blogs are written through my personal life experiences.  I am not an expert nor have I been very successful in my life endeavors that I can teach or  preach anyone . My blogs reflect my emotional turmoils and challenges faced by me. As a child and youth, I was very aggressive. I had lots of expectations from myself to achieve many personal goals. Rejections and Failures were never accepted. I strived hard for a perfect score and a zero error input to anything I did. Adulthood brought many challenges with respect to Private Anaesthesia practice and Motherhood. Balancing both was a herculean task and full of trials and errors.  Nothing was perfect.Everything had something lacking. Life never turned out as expected inspite of sincerity and dedication towards whatever I did. .... Reality of Life is harsh...... I landed up getting angry at myself and frustrated with Life..... Then,happened ,my Alma Mater, MGIMS Sewagram College Mega Reunion. Alumnii fr...
