7th Wedding Anniversary !

Today my hubby dearest and me are celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary in Shakileshpur (off bangalore).

Can't believe how time flies away. 7 years its been since we have been married.

I am grateful to god to have given me such a loving, caring, understanding husband who lets me be myself and accepts me as I am. Though i don't tell him often as to how much i love him post marriage (pre-marriage was like a whole another story of saying I Love You at the drop of the hat), as we have more responsibilities and people to take care of now, than we were as lovey dovey love birds. I make it a point that this day, i express to him, what he means to me, how he has changed my life for better and simply thank god for having given him to me.

I managed to sew a Kurta for him and a dress for my Daughter and an outfit for self. wanted to sew one more outfit for him, but didn't manage time to shop for fabrics suited for men. Had this kurta fabric and hence managed to sew one. I am giving him hand kerchiefs as birthday present on his birthday which is tomorrow (i know how stupid of me), but that's what i could think of the most he is in need of ! I had ordered a tie, but unfortunately it has not reached me yet (the bane of online shopping!)

Will compensate by sewing some pyjamas and formal shirts for him in near future. ok hubby dearest, take my word for it; i know you will

Vacation in Vizag!

Kailasgiri

Back from Vacation.

Vizag trip was quite nice, it has the right mix of country side and city. While you all the comforts of city living that you are used to, there is still a rustic feel to the place, which is abound with beaches (the fortune of being a coastal city), parks (well maintained ones by the municipal corporation over there!) and mountains...


What marks this town as unique is the fact that this is one of the fewer places which has both mountains and beaches close together, at least of the few places that i have seen so far.

We went to a small hill town called 'Arakku' which about 150km from Vizag and had a day's stay there. Nice weather and is not so crowded or polluted as is the case with hill stations here in TN, like Ooty or Kodai. We had a nice time there and the highlight of the trip was the 'Borra Caves', it is a must see if you ever make it anywhere near vizag, take a trip to arakku and enroute you will find 'Borra Caves'..Sorry couldn't take much clear pics at the cave due to lighting.... but trust my word, its worth the visit.
