Wanna check for yourself???
Go ahead.......Open the thesaurus,
type Band Width & search in All Reference Books.........PRONTO!!! "animals together" is what you get!

Well, nothing much about this post.....just that.....it's helped me be a little more at ease with my..............oh so...... liberal use of lovenames like,.......... "Ass" & "Bitch" ..........
especially in the place where having "Band Width" is considered imperative! :-)

Yeah! Have you got that one right or what??? :-)

Easter service by candle light

Last Sunday as we all know was Easter..........
Easter marks the end of the season of Lent and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ who in dying gave us Eternal Life!
Well, this is as much as I know & I want to believe.

All these years.........I went to church on Easter Sunday & of each such service that I have attended in all these years, I specifically remember the part where we renewed our baptismal vows.
For the first time this year I chose to attend the service on Saturday......
As the tradition goes each person attending the service is supposed to carry a candle to church and my Mamma did for us all.
My favorite part arrived......& unlike just saying "I do" after every vow the priest states when at the day service.........the night service added a little extra touch. That's is what we needed the candles for. Altar boys with flames taken from the Pascal Candle came by to share the flames with the entire congregation who in turn lit their candles & held them high as the renewal of vows begun.
The scene was beautiful............
As we were the back benchers we had the best view. It looked like a canopy of tiny gleaming flames as abiding worshippers proclaimed their faith.
Well not to miss.........among all the I Do's the loudest one sounded like ," aaai dooooo". That was my Aisha.....holding her candle high & then made an endearing effort to blow the candle off.
It was a nice service........... Indeed a very nice experience.

As for Aisha...............she had the whole football ground to herself.......and many fellow christians happily sacrificed the priests sermons to hear the unstoppable chatter, shrieks, questions and all that Aisha had to offer.

Happy Easter!!! she wished all enthusiastically after the mass all the way as we headed home.

Of Fairy Tales & Odes

I have been listening to a song since the last 15 days or so.......
it's called Fireflies......& as my friend rightly said, It does make me want to believe in Fairy Tales.
Surprisingly believing in Fairy Tales and dreaming about all those beautiful islands that you'd want to be on with your Prince is not so difficult you know. A song and some solace to enjoy it is all you need.
And I thought fairy tales were for kids.
But, what I have come to realise is that there's much more meaning to those Fairy Tales if you want to believe it's all happenning to you.....
This song has brought back islands, clear blue skies, flower beds, bunnies and butterflies, fairies, Thumbelina's, Dwarfs, twinkling stars, a big bright moon, streams bubbling with crystal clear water and lots more to me.
Thanks to Tim Burton........I got to visit Alice's Wonderland too :-)


As a little girl........I tried rhyming a little and I am so happy that I still have the ability today
Read on...........you might just like it.


I so want to fall asleep...
but I'm off sleep lately.
I so want to keep silent...
but I'm out of my wits, I can cook up a storm.
What's become of me is just a sign...
that I'm so madly in love and all I want is....
for you to be mine!


A twinkling Star, a blossoming flower
Sounds of the Ocean, and the gentle breeze.
Hold on to these my love.....
cause though we're apart,
they'll remind you of the one in your heart!
