Phases of a girl..!

hi dear readers,
this is a blog about a person who brought me in to life and made me write about her, its none other than my mother , Sashi ma !! ,
This blog is just because as she turned 50 today on 14Nov17 , and i felt this could be a thanks giving and tribute to her and i could have this recorded for my entire life time.
Ma was born in 14th november 1967 in Karnataka , as she was born she was 4th of her siblings , soon few more added and the strength was 6 children in her family . the first and last were boys and the middle were 4 beautiful girls who are now my moms with there name prefixed as padhu-ma , sugu ma , sashi ma and savi ma... as this blog is solely about my mother sashi , im putting my focus light on her for this entire story..

Earlier phase of her life...  lucky i have got few pics of her that would support my writtings a bit.!

when she was at 4th standard - every one was a child once there is no doubt in it..

    In this phase of her life as i remember and enquired ma about this period , all that she said was the moments with her girls and the way they lived together , shared and experienced their schooling , financially they weren't much supported yet had their own ideas of living with cows , lambs and maintaining them with their mother named - Lakshmi ( my grand ma).
Mom was straight on talents , she was an athlete from 5th to 10th and almost bagged first in all running events , other few goes for mehindi arts and pencil sketchings , those year was 1970's the easy ways of entertainment was book readings . they have reads as much as each could fill a good amount of area. i could see mom still has her old books in the store room shelf , its clear all have a good stand in English communication even today .!

College days !

Mom did 3 Major degree course of  BSC - Botany , Zoology and Chemistry , as the result we had our homes full of plants even today. Remarkably she was in NCC too .. participated in camps , culturals and a complete action oriented girl . she was ready for any initiations as well immediate helps , had few best friends namely Sunita , Sailaja . and that all she remembers on date..
Completed her college and started working as a school teacher handling science subjects as her major and worked for few years , untill she turned 23 . below a pic referring her teaching class and students

she was versatile in her talks and keeps teaching students with her unique way of approach and kindness..!

Time for marriage

As the strength of her family was quite high and the pressure of marriage has started just after her first sister got married . going on with her 23year of life my grand father followed the usual methods and kept my moms horoscope and her bridal photo on the register .

As few days went on they got a call from tamilnadu , accepting to visit her as the first step of meeting.  one fellow in tamilnadu happened to be my dad now , he was so much struck with this photograph , came to karanataka bangalore with his barely known kannada with his father( my grandfather- late) came to meet her . the meet was in her home , they spoke for a few minutes , dad shooting his first question of do you know to cook , mom smiled and said yes.. with few more discussions the decisions were left to parents , soon the marriage was confirmed and planned to the next stage ,

Introducing The Bridegroom , DSP is what he was called by his friends - D.SivaPrakash.

Scenes of the marriage held at Pollachi. 

'Marriage' one of the biggest events in ones lives . held at the simplest way possible . with the blessings of all the kind hearts they started the journey together ,  and a week after their marriage they came to mettur as he was working here at mettur..

The new begining 

One of the highlighted fact is , Dsp from a Tamil background yet know the caste wise kannada and mom from pure Karnataka - Both had the medium of english for conversation and it lasted for few months , soon she learnt tamil with a help of a teacher near by home..

    

That bullet knows a better story than me..and only god knows were are all these pics taken.

As the story flows as the couples entering a new phase of there life and another phase was about to begin too.. knowing this mom left to Bangalore for her maternity period. mean while she hadn't wasted a single day go ideal. she joined a course for beauty parlour at a institute in Bangalore.

she went for the whole months untill this writer started kicking her stomach so hard and made her admitted to hospital.. those beautiful moments are captured by those roll cameras following in the next pic.   

I was born 

top left- mom holding a day born baby, top right - on dads hands , bottom left - my first birthday , mid - art by dsp on the next day  , bottom right - dads friends came to bangalore  to see me..

Hence i was born on 11june1992...celebrations were there part , and i did my own part too.. taking care of me is were they joined together like never before. dad was on shifts to take care of me at night and mom on morning.. ive heard them tell this , plz dont ask how you know...

naming me took few months with a confusion of , akash , vignesh and prithvi was finalized .

Prithvi raj . ( king of earth ) . now im their top priority and was taken all around even before i realize were i was.. following the pictures..

top left -  we were holding a coloured chicken , top right - some happy moments ,bottom right-fiat car was bought , mid - authapooja at home , bottom right - birthday scene  

With mom every time . amma amma amma... for every thing .. meanwhile she started a parlour with the course she completed as a beautician and named it as FEMINA beauty parlour , the name was referred from a Magazine called Femina , parlour and home will go hand in hand , a small house rented the next house and used it for parlour purpose , receiving more guest and clients , managing multy tasks , earning a little little by doing those eye bros , facial and makeups when ever time permits . putting in to savings in those rice jars , keeping it in where ever whe feels safe , for savings..and will be supporting dad at the month ends and solving any financial crises. and again starts from scratch and start saving it happily . few pics below are some of her works of makeups

As the time flowed with all my cousin sisters and brothers were sprouting up , we had our own kiddo waiting to be released and he fell out on 01-oct-1996 ,

Entry of Aswin.

Aswin , i kept this name for him as got inspired from one of my school friend dont know the reason now , may be he was studious . hence this name is for him. Aswin raj.

he was dam cute no doubt in it.. just had to take care of him , thats my responsibility..

pic as follows

top-left when he was born and its at his naming ceremony,  top mid we are surrounding and aswin in the hands of ma , top right - handling aswin with care
bottom right his first birthday  - bottom mid mom and him at blackthunder - bottom right  one fine evening with the finest smiles

The family got bigger in number almost all sisters are having two kids hence the sum of cousin list were overflowing , we had the finest childhood days roaming all over in that fiat car as mom will take care of all our bedding and clothing , dad as the finest pilot of our car and all of us stuffing in to the single car.. the travel and tourism started at a very early stage . we never bothered or worried as this lady is around .

pic at athirapally falls

this was the strength that fit in to that single car on every trip. just sleep and wake up we will be in a new place .. all credits goes to my dad by the way.. i have understood its hard after taking up the wheels .

Travel around places

As dad is in LIC . there was incentives for yearly travels and claims . he could have saved those sum. but all he did was to take us around.. 

below pic when aswin was 1 year old . journey to allahabad.

top left- aswin walking by holding the walls of tajmahal , middle - mom in front of red fort , top right - not sure- kasi i guess
rest were in allahabad and delhi. bottom middle we three- the other one is Prem and his mom sugu ma in right

the next was an another big event

Home !

This was quite important as the functioning of femina was having issues with all house owners , and having kids like us and creating unless noises were disturbing to those people. and then she decided to construct a home. just for letting us play in full volume .. and dad applied for a housing loan . and somehow they made it too.. as this phase goes on im entering in hostel and missed one of the precious moments. yet it was good.. pictures below.

bottom left- aswin and them in new home , bottom right - aswin's birthday sashi's cake cutting 

Rolling years 

yes its rolling years , after the phase of me in hostel and going home was hardly twice in a whole year and that twice visit will never go wasted . she was behind it in every single move and understanding our wished without even us present there.. , boarding school life hurted me as well for her , yet we stood on our dads decisions and thats why im writting here with so much of self confidence.. he was right on world and the way it can be managed , and she was right on the way of love.. 

having seen both of these natures what will we do.. im doing it anyway.. 

so here she's playing with the white snows of  Rothangpass - Darjeeling

Drag and Drop 

           

I thought this heading will be perfect as we will be dragged and left in the hostel gate..

aswin was also put in to boarding school at the time he reached 6th standard. 

now this drag and drop is reversing for her as she will drop and drag.. hope ur catching my statement.

days moved as i have got my own fellow mates , it may be amaravians , trinitians , mcetians . working members or whoever i have crossed ,  it was all that happened with the cost of her sacrifice for the wellbeing of me and aswin . ya and im trying to justify it a bit .. lets seee.. few moments below.

we came to the generation of digital cameras but yet miss that roll camers badly.

Coming to the PRESENT

THE Present , is what has to be more valued than those left or those about to come.. its surprising to see how this little girl has grown up managing all this including us , and sleeping quitely near me as i type all this at this late midnight. snoring sound of dad in the next bed . and meeow sleeping on the chair . i have come to the dead present .. bringing you all back to senses too..  yes she is sashi and is celebrating her 50th birthday with me and en number of readers like you and hope you will wish her a happy birthday too.... few photographs of nearly present with those wrinkles on both of their faces yet loving like never before.

all i could say is Thank you .

As far as i know from the beginning , its just them and the ripples they have made are unimaginable ,

where ever or what ever the thing it may be . love is enough to travel...

love you sashi , dsp  if i wish something now to god.. i would just ask him to rewind it from the begining.. but i cant write all those exams again.. oh god this is enough thanks for your concern..

Happy endings with a recent selfi of today ..

Happy 50th Birthday Sashi ma
