Honest to blog.



Sri for many, ammu for some, ellikunj for one and an unknown identity for the rest.
Sri is well chuffed with her life at the moment. She has become more resilient and has learnt to take life at ease. 

Some days she feels like she has the world in her hands, and other days, she feels like the world is caving in on her. 

Sri is unsure of a lot of things but has learnt to stand her ground even with people who means the world to her. She has realised that misinterpretation of her intentions is not a flaw in her personality, but a misjudgment of the said people. She can't always help it.

She sees the person who was blocked from her life three years ago, who still manages to pry on her life till date. Yes, she sees you; visiting her blog and checking on her almost everyday. Somedays she laughs at your misery, and other days, she feels sorry for your sad existence.

She still feels dejected over friends who accused her of things she never did. Some days she feels like curling into a ball and crying, and other days, she keeps her head held high.

She manages to find happiness in the smallest things and has realised those things are totally worth it.

She shouldn't feel bad about the ones who left her in draught, without giving her a chance to explain or check facts. But she does, almost every single day. Some days she feels sad, hurt, confused and angry, and other days, all these emotions at once.

She has understood that her biggest blessing is her family and her better half and to never take things for granted; People, good days, good health and balance.

She has grown to love this space and gets extremely agitated when someone tries to sprout similar content from it. She has understood that originality cannot be replicated and she shouldn't be effected by it.

Sri is learning to be kinder each day. Somedays she fails, and other days, she reminds herself that it is in fact the biggest virtue.

This is Sri in 2016; still panics at the slightest imbalance, impatient, fussy and a bit all over the place. Somedays she discovers a new her, and other days, it's the same old, silly she. 

You & I.



Dear You,

When we grow old and grey, we will look back at this and think how different our life was. How amazingly magical and wonderfully chaotic it was. How we have changed over time, both physically and as people. How, we are just as dysfunctional and imperfect as any other couple, but what we hold for each other is extremely rare and fresh. 

I have had this planned for months; finding and collating video files and making a draft in my head. Can i just mention how difficult it was to find a video with you in it? This one was a mammoth edit but worth the effort. I love how we celebrate the tiniest things and find joy in the mundane. Let's fill our new home with many more amazing memories and endless laughter and keep at it till the very end.

Here is something to look back at and smile, for years to come.


Love,
Me.
