I met a talkative girl in my toastmasters club. She is very good at her English language; she has good grammar, right ascent and ability to pronounce the words. She is vocal about right use of English among our club. Thanks to her schooling, she had strict English teachers.   I am on the other hand; do not have any sense of language. I am not even sure of right use of my mother tongue, so English don’t even ask. I have tried a lot to improve my English but realize the difficult to speak genuine English. Even then I have learned to express myself with all grammatical and pronouncing issues.  My meeting with some Middle East people gave me extra confidence. Some people say, if Americans can speak American English and English men can speak British English, then why cant a Keralite speak ‘Mallu English’. It gave me confidence to next level but I didn’t want to ignore improvement. Definitively, work on my confidence than having right English. Last week, we all went for an an...

My wife and I were having a serious discussion last day. I got a job in Mumbai; my wife is worried about shifting to Mumbai and an appropriate school for my daughter. She list out the criteria and specification in new place. She had so many questions for me to get more clarity. I was glue less for all the questions. Our daughter was playing in between us. She was in the middle of us and running around. My wife had 100 questions and 100 worries about whole the situation around her. I told her to keep all the worries aside and wait for some time for us to get the clarity about our stay in Mumbai. Because our stay supposed to be arrange by the new company. But she is not able control her curiosity. Since she was not getting much answers from me, she turn to our daughter and asked which school you want to go? Our daughter said, ‘ummmm I want ‘Chor’ (Rice)’! That’s all!

Dear TMs and Guest, Good Morning,  I always wanted to be successful but I am fearful to take risk. When play my Table tennis at office, I realized it. I learned to smash the ball but in the real game I was scared to hit it. My mind asked this, can I hit on the table without hitting the net? This is my life always, I have experimented with my life, but I have this self doubt when I have to smash. I am here to practice myself to live in present without worrying am I be successful or not.

Today is vishu. It is New Year for Keraletes, childhood we used to celebrate vishu with crackers and good food. Again it is another reason for entire family to get together. Yesterday itself I have made a plan to get up early and make  Ambalappuzha Palpayasam . This is the recipe I have seen in a cookery show, recently. Since my family is in my parents place, it is very lone life going on for me. They are in my native town from last one month, now I am missing them badly. I feel like staying in office for hours and don’t have any interest to eat food from outside or cook at home. Having a peaceful life all the time is not interesting. Yesterday itself, I have arranged all the necessary items. 500 ml of milk, sugar and rice. Same time I had arranged vishu kanni (first sight) in front pooja area. If my goal is set clear, I am always dot on that. I got up with alarm at 5 am, saw the Vishu Kanni without any issues and started with Payasam making. I followed the recipe correc...
