My two hands

Now that's a super title,as if i dont know all these years that i've two hands!!!

My boy,yeah second one P;he told me this "You have two hands and you can do it yourself!!!"

I didn't expect it from him,so soon,i thought:))

So the scene:

P has this habit of asking me to scratch him whenever a mosquito bites him.Immediately he would get a swell in that place.So not satisfied with his scratch he would ask me and i would oblige.So far so good,rite.
Yesterday was the same scene,and i obliged and was saying to him" If a mosquito bites me, i'll ask you to scratch me".That's all and bang came the reply without any thoughts.
I simply told him that i didn't know i had two hands.LOL

Guinness World Record


Hi Friends,
Very glad to inform u all that i participated in a Guinness world record event.It took place on Mother's Day(09-05-2010) organized by Arya Vysya Sabha of Vridhachalam City.It is the
"Most people simultaneously painting Goddess Kanyaka Parameswari."

More than 3000 people participated in this event.Kudos to the organizers for making arrangements for so much people.

I came to know about this event through my SIL and reached her place the day before.The time given was 2 and half hours. We should only water/oil painting.And i need to add that with regards to arts or even simple drawing i am very poor.But after participating i had a sense of relief.It was an excuse for me to just unwind without my kids.My husband took care of them.
Still to receive any intimation from them.They've applied for both Limca and Guinness book of records.All the newspaper and television representatives were there to cover this event and my MIL was exclusively covered for she was painting using left hand.She's a left-handier.Myself,MIL,SIL and her daughter(7yr old) participated in this event.

Motherhood experience

I've long wanted to write this experience of mine,now i get a chance...


The roller-coaster ride of motherhood started When my pregnancy got confirmed,
my husband was in Lucknow and i was with my in-laws.

The first trimester was normal,with only normal morning sickness.I used to vomit when i was hungry.That's when i've smething to eat after along break i used to vomit.This subsided very much in second trimester,but it turned into when i ate whatever i liked i vomitted.That was so frustrating.

Our thala Diwali came at the end of 3rd month,luckily i got a chance to come to
my moms' place.I bursted crackers too,running and all.I was saying to my husband that this may be the last time i'm bursting coz nxt year the little one will be there and he /she might get scared.

Into the 5thmonth and first scanning,there started problem,they said the fluid


content is more and i should be careful,this and that.Avlodhan,everyone started


to panic
.Lot of predictions were going among relatives seeing my tummy,it was

not seen out until 7th month.I didn't have any thoughts about boy/girl,i was


like"Edhuva irundha enna,namalodathudhaane".I felt the movements starting from


6th month2nd week.


I can never forget the GTT test.I never liked glucose water and to top of it off


i had to drink it in empty stomach,every time i puked.And i had to do it


again,somehow managed to get it done.


At the end of 7th month,they prepared for my seemandham and to pack me off to my


mom's place.Here again,another doctor,an elderly woman,since it's the same place


where me and my brother were born.I didn't feel any other pain except back pain


and leg pain due to the excessive weight in my tummy.


In the end of May,that's around 8th month end,I had a scan done at Mediscan to

check the fluid content again,this was 5th scan for me.At the end of scan,i was


shown the baby,his round face closed eyes,tiny legs and hands everything was


seen.
My mom also was called in.The fluid content is more, said the report.

My EDD was on 30th JUN 2005.Our first wedding anniversary was on 6th JUN.The day


before we celebrated by going to Muttukadu and some other worship places along


ECR along with my parents and brother.


The EDD was getting nearer, and there was no sign of any pain.My grand ma used


to give me all kashayams and barley water.


I got admitted in hospital on 1st JULY 2005 7:00 p.m.IST,the doctors said since


the baby's weight was normal and EDD is over,they will induce pain.

So,2nd morning they started the procedures with enema and applied some gel to induce

pain and they did some internal examination.I was not dilated and started to


bleed.They said they'll wait for another day since it was Sunday,they told


they'll do again on Monday.


By saturday evening itself,all my relatives who got the message that i was
hospitalized visited to see the baby.But they had to wait for one more day!!! That day my husband was next to me,giving all comfort words to me.Without him i know i would've broke down.

3rd JULY 2005:


The another lady who got admitted after me,delivered her baby and i went to see the baby.I walked up and down the corridor until night since the doctor advised
me to do so.


4th JULY 2005:


The procedure started around 7:00a.m. with enema.They were frequently checking

heartbeat of the baby.I was not at all having any contractions.The doctor will


come up to me and ask"Valika aarambichuducha",every 1/2 hour and i would be


praying "God pls let me know what is that pain".
My baby was too good to me,he

didn't let me know the pain till the last.At around 12 noon,i was slightly
getting the pains,mean time the operation theater was made ready.They were waiting for the surgeon and the anesthesist.

By that time the water bag was open and some green water was coming out.Meaning


the baby has pooed inside and it was highly risk meconium stage.They let me in
the operation theater and the family outside became so restless.I was so tired,I was like "When will this get over".

The anaesthesist came and asked "Whether to go in for general or local


anaesthesia".I didnt know a damn thing about it.I told him: whatever make it


fast,it's paining for me.My mother had asked him not to go for local
anaesthesia,as it will create problems later.I didn't know about all this!!!

Finally, they went for local anaesthesia,tied my eyes and started.The doctors
were talking about the anguish of my family members ,i started to speak with them,i was completely awake by this time.After about 20mins around 1:30p.m. my son was taken out.I could hear a baby's cry at a far away place.I asked them " Is the baby out??" Doctor said,"Yes,it's a boy". They had taken to clean him and for paed test.They opened my eyes for me to look at him, i remembered a similar face i saw at the scan.
