A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a Rupee 500 note.
In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this Rupee 500 note?".
Hands started going up.

He said, "I am going to give this note to one of you but first let me do this.".
He proceeded to crumple the note up.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?".
Still the hands were up in the air.
"Well," he replied, "What if I do this?".

And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.

He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.
"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson.
No matter what I did to the money, you still
wanted it because it did not decrease in value.

It was still worth Rupee 500/-.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.

We feel as though we are worthless.

But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.

You are special, don't ever forget it!

Never let yesterday's disappointments overshadow tomorrow's dreams.

"VALUE HAS A VALUE ONLY IF ITS VALUE IS VALUED BY YOU"

A Person Is Happy As Long As He Choose To Be Happy.

 

Best Regards….

Ashwathy

Keep Smiling, friends!

Hi Friends,

How are things going on in your life, huh?

Just wanted to say a Hi to you all.

Life is very beautiful. Enjoy it every moment and be happy that God has gifted you the most precious of all gifts- Your family!

Indeed, when I think of the caring and love showered on me by my parents and a wonderful sister, I just can't stop believing how lucky I am.

We all are lucky in one way or the other, with so many caring people in our lives, right?

Our parents, our trusted friends, and many unforgetable people who leave their unremovable footprints on the sands of time!

Chalo then, time constraint here, need to run now-

Hope everything's fine in life with you all. Be cheeful

God’s Own Land : Kerala

Continuing with the Ego-spirit in me….

Today I shall be writing about my Beautiful Native Land Kerala- The very place where Ashwathy the Great was born to mark this place as an eventful place in the books of History!! HeE hee

Alryt, alryt!! Was dat too much?

Hhmm…. Sorry no regrets. U just hv to bear with all the Ego.

Though born in Trichur district (the cultural capital) of Kerala, my upbringing since the age of 7 months was in Bombay (And ya, very soon, one of my blog article’s gonna be about this Joyous Indian City of Hope- Mumbai).

 

Its been say about 14 years that I have been to Kerala but the memories of visiting my native during school vacations, the train journey and the joyous moments shared there with cousins, relatives, Grandparents—oh how much I miss them all!!

 

So Kerala-this year definitely Ashwathy will be back. K?

Now lemme take the pleasure of introducing U, all of my friends, to the point of focus…

Kerala located at the Southern most tip of India, was formed in the year 1956. It’s a state comprising of Malayalam speaking population, also known to be the Indian state with the highest literacy rate amongst its counterparts. Its other unique claim to fame includes-- the only Indian state where the Female ratio sur-compassed the Male ratio. Women in Kerala enjoy a high social status, thanks- perhaps to its historic matrilineal system esp. in the Nair caste.

If you speak English, you won't have any problem in Kerala. Many people speak Hindi and Tamil also. As the subject of quite a lot of jokes, you may find the pronunciation a bit hilarious. (How many of won’t swear for that by the musical line “De Mallayaleee gurl , SIMBLY, crossed de rooad anDh she wend to de Kollleage to learrn Biolloogee!”

(For those who read dat for the first time, it meant to be read as ‘The malayali girl, simply crossed the road, and she went to the college to learn biology”

Our traditional dress is Mundu for men and a slightly longer version of the same for women (FYI, there’s a full length snap of me wearing the Mallu (Malayali) sari in the photo section towards the right of this page)

 

Now, why does Kerala have the sobriquet ‘God’s Own Land’?

Well.. Because it’s a place of awesome picturesque beauty. Not to forget--- Kerala means the land of coconuts also. And Oh boy! We do have coconuts, arecanuts, cashew nuts and also nuts like me in abundance! JJ

Now the next of few lines are Copy-Pasted for your info purpose, hee, if U don’t mind…

From the majestic heights of the Western Ghats the land of Kerala undulates westward presenting a vista of silent valleys clothed in the richest green. Among the many rivers that glide across the plains to merge their waters with the Arabian Sea, the more important are the Periyar, the Pamba and the Bharathapuzha. The elegant waterfalls at Athirampally near Trichur are a popular tourist spot. Along the coast, sand dunes shelter a linked chain of LAGOONS and BACKWATERS, the still waters of which are studded with sea-gulls and country canoes plying at a snails pace. The silence of the clear skies is broken only by the coos of koels, a type of cuckoo, and the frequent flutter of cranes perched on the embankments. The highest peak of peninsular India Annai Mudi is located in this state. The scenic Thekkady Wild Life Sanctuary is a popular vacation destination for nature lovers.

The climate is equable and varies little from season to season. The temperature normally ranges from 80 to 90 F in the plains but drops to about 70 F in the highlands. The state gets its due share of both the southwest as well as the northeast monsoons, and the rainfall is heavy, averaging around 118 inches annually.

Alright, now adding to your woes the mike’s back in my hand, Hee

Following is a collection of Pics of the stunning land I have been boasting about, for your eyes only. Trust me you all are gonna like it.

These include the snaps of Boat races, lagoons/backwaters, the boat houses, a Kath kali artist, Aithrampilly Waterfalls (From my very own Trichur), The Ananthapura Lake Temple (Of 9th Century!!!)

So njoy through theses pics n ya, please also check out my upcoming blog abt Mumbai, coming soon in your nearest n Dearest MSN space :)

Until then,

Keep Smiling Always

N don't Miss me
