Blessings on 26.06.2026

I was expecting something nice will happen today. Because of today's date 26.06.2026. Some "miracles" or some "good news" or something "just good enough to feel" to be happened!

But what happened was, my brand-new car, which was only less than 2 months old, which haven't gone for 1st service yet, was hit by a motorist when I brake to avoid hitting the car in front. After all the normal procedures done, while coming down after meeting the police officer, I met my parents walking towards me inside the police station. I felt so relieved to see them. Actually, I could have dealt everything by myself, but that relieve feeling was for their safe arrival. The hassle they went through for about 2.5 hours to reach the police station using google map which misdirected them in those peak hours of traffic, make me worried more about them. Finally, they made it there...!

I was in the state of nothing much to say...or think...! I was totally drained out. But still was explaining to my dad about what has happened. And my mom came to me and said "intha unakku tea eduthuttu vanthirukken, muthalle konjam kudi. Pasiyode iruppe!" At that moment, I got emotionally struck with her love and couldn't even look at her eyes or I might cry. I became quiet and my brain was trying to process, after all along drive through in hectic jam and apart from the car damage, my mom only worried that I'll be starving here. "Tea...? inside police station...?!" I smiled and told her..."Okay, I will have it in car". 

Then inside appa's car, after had my tea, while driving back home, mom asked about dinner. I told them I'm not hungry. But my dad asked, "Enna saapde venum, sollu appa vaanggittu varen." Again, I am overwhelmed...!

In the world full of chaos, I am so blessed to have my parents who cares for me and love me more than anyone else could. This day was more than just good enough to feel...! It's really a blessed day for me.

Yes, I believe that even God loves me a bit more today by saving me. I am feeling very grateful because it's not that worse, no injuries and just cosmetic damages. Thank you, Universe! I know you are always there for me!

17 Crappy Things Indian Parents Say To Get Their Kids Married

 

(And the 2 hindi captions were)

Gal : Before this girl bring shame to the family, get her married.

Boy : log kya kahenge (what world will say?)

 
Only in our Indian Ethnicity people will be asking questions like these....

1. WHY ARE YOU NOT GETTING MARRIED YET?

Shooting this question to an unmarried girl, who have crossed the age limit of getting married, as though there is an age limit has been set by GOD or government.

2. ANY GOOD NEWS? ARE YOU GUYS GOING FOR ANY CHECK UP?

Usually, this type of question will be asked to long time married couples who are praying every day to get baby after going through many struggles and pain in their life. They ask this very frequently wherever they meet them, as though they are willing to become their baby's surrogate mother.

3. I HEARD YOU ARE DIVORCED? WHY...? WHAT HAPPENED?

And shooting these questions to a divorcee who is just getting recovered from their painful life they went through. They are asking as they are ready to let their daughter or son to get married to them.  

Yeah...yeah...yeah....I can hear you saying "Hello...! It's just a simple question...!"

YES...!!! It is a simple question for those who are asking it, but you may not know how hurting is that to hear the same questions.....again and again...not only from you...but from many as well....yet they still need to answer it without hurting you...! To help you understand their situation more easily...It's something like you are asking a bald-headed man "hey, why there is no hair on your head?"  

So moral of the story is...

When you don't have the solution for it, why waste time asking for the reason. So always spread the positive words...! It may lift you up and lit up other hearts as well.

My Mr. Mango Knows How To Revenge...!

This is a mango tree. It has leaves and branches. It gives mango fruits. (Aama mangga marathule mangga kaaikkame thenggai ah kaaikkum...!) Hmm....yeah these are the facts that everyone knew! But do you know, it has eyes to watch, ears to listen and it take revenge too....? Unbelievable right!!??

Let me tell you the story. 

This mango tree was planted 12 years back by my ex-neighbour when we all shifted to the newly built housing area. The mango plant takes ages to grow and stopped its height at 1.5m. 

The good neighbour who planted the tree, had shifted to other area and requested us to water the tree daily. Yes, that's what we did without fail. After one year, it grows wonderfully and helps us to give mango leaves for our prayer days. And surprisingly it starts to bloom and ready to bear fruit. Our ex-neighbour visited the tree and shared their happiness, once we informed the tree's growth.

After the new neighbour shifted in to the next house, we got some restriction in plucking the leaves. They used to watch, on how many leaves are being plucked...! And the worst part is, when the tree is started to bear fruits, we were told by them to stop plucking the leaves. And they started to cover the fruits with papers and make the ownership. (only because it was planted in their house border)

I think all these conversations and acts by our new neighbour was watched by that tree. So at the time of fruiting season came, all the fruits were rotten and with worms in it. We never try to pluck it but it falls all over the places at front of the both houses. The neighbour gave us some fruit to eat, but we found that were rotten too.

And the real revenge starts after this. For the second fruiting season, the tree has grown up with thick bunches of leaves facing my house car porch (as you can see in the first picture). And the spoil branches with less leaves were facing their house car porch. Surprisingly, this time the fruits were so sweet and healthy. As you can see in the 2nd pictures, the tree bears fruit as 4 or 5 times like shown in the picture, and all were at our housing side only. 

So Mr.Mango, you really took a revenge on them huh...???

57th Merdeka Day...Since 1957!

 Flower deco at the Grand stand

 

Since its 57th Merdeka, I wished to witness the parade and feel the patriotism at Dataran Merdeka which I had never done in my life before. Yeah, I know its a big shame. I hate crowd that's why.

Well, I reached the venue finally. Joined my friend Suba, who waited there patiently for me. While walked through the way heading to Dataran Merdeka, my heart was pumping so fast. I can't wait to feel the excitement. It was so thrilling. We walked through in the crowd (which I hate the most, with lack of oxygen and various of "aroma") to find a best spot for us to stand and watch the parade.

The exact view of Tiang Bendera Jalar Gemilang from where I was standing

Yes, amazingly we've got a superb port which is very near to the road. Our excitements had reached the highest level when the military parade started. We both love army. And getting married with an army man is my dream but the truth is, till now I have never met or befriend with anybody from ARMY...! When the military tanks were on parade, I felt how lucky we are to see this tanks only on our National Days while in other countries, it was vice versa. I m speechless and just watched them with opened mouth.

The best part of among the whole parade show was the jet show. Its a real goose bump to watch it live. You can feel the sound of the jets, at your feet. Such a proud moment...! Salute you, soldiers and air force pilots. And the parade ended with our Allahyarham Dato' Sudirman's evergreen song, Tanggal 31...!

After the ceremony, we joined the crowd to send off the Agong and PM by waving flags with cheers. I had supposed to feel this all in my primary school ages, yet I am still proud at least I had felt it now. We left the dataran as a proud Malaysians to fulfill our next mission. Headed straight to Taman Rama-Rama for photography. See you again...:)

 

Changes are inevitable...!
