Thia June we went to India for just 2 weeks as Arshi has PSLE this year and they had holiday booster classes.I was initially against the idea of going to India but my hubby and mil wanted to make up this trip as CK's hair were already long enough and we had to do mottai to our kuladeivam.2 more mottai were pending an d so we made a quick trip.Usually I go before my hubby arrives to India.This time ,I went and came back along with him.The trip as usual was very hectic.
We went on June 7, 2018 a Thursday night to India and we landed there during midnight.I went to my brother's house the next day for lunch after completing my personal stuff like doing eye test for myself and Arshi .Seeing your bro's kids is always a joy and I should admit that I have bonus fun as my bro has twin girls.They are soooo adorable.
Next morning we started to Mailam Murugan temple in the morning for CK's mottai.My mil came there directly from Cuddalore.
After his mottai and Swami darisanam, we headed to Cuddalore an d enroute went to Panchavati,a Panchamuga Anjaneyar temple near to Pondicherry.
Sunday we went to Hayagrivar koil in Tiruvandipuram.It is known for studies a nd students flock the temple.Whenever we go to Cuddalore, we try to visit this temple.In the evening we went to padaleeswarar koil and Anjanaeyar koil.
Next day, Monday, we went to Ezhumodu Pachavazhiamman koil and Varakaalpattu Ayyanar koil.
Tuesday I almost forgot what we did.
Wednesday , we went to Siruvaachur Sri Madurakaaliamman koil.From there ,I went to Trichy to see my amma,appa whereas my hubby and mil returned back to Cuddalore.Wednesaday evening and Thursday was well spent in my parents house.I also saw both my maternal and paternal paatis.My maternal grandpa had expired only this February.I really miss him.It is pathetic to see my paternal patti, Janaki patti who is bedridden.She was very active in her younger days.My maternal patti is also very weak that I can see her bones.My appa had hip fracture and underwent hip fracture surgery this Feb.He is slowly recovering from that.He isn't moving outside house and moves around the house with the help of walker and walking stick.He fell off losing balance in-between too few times after the surgery.I have always reminded him to walk carefully.He was having knee pain before too and now he is recommended to have knee replacement surgery by his dr.It is really patetic to see my appa move around the house with great difficulty as I have hardly seen my appa stay in house.He always loves to go out .But we have to accept that our parents are aging and the best we can do is give positive words of encouragement to them.Thursday evening I went to see my chittapa and my cousin Priya.She was pregnant then and We had a quick visit to see them.They stay in Andar Street.Later we went t Tayumaanavar koil and Uchhipillayar koil (Rockfort)and got the blessing of Tayumaanavar.I had prayed to bring CK there.He makes delivery easy for pregnant adies.It was a time for me thank the God.Arshi love d climbing up mlaikottai.My mom came with us till the top though she was too tired.
Next day, Friday, we started early morning from Srirangam to Thirukarugaavor through taxi.My hubby and mil came there directly from Cuddalore.We had good dharshan of Mulaivananaathar and Garbarakshambigai ambal.I had prayed to ambal to bring CK there and put him in Thangatotill if I deliver normally.I prayed this when I was in labour ward and was afraid I will have to go through Csection.I wanted to come back to Singapore as soon as possible as I had left Arshi alone there with my hubby.I had fears that if I had to go through Csection, then I would not be able to return back easily.But luckily by Ambal's blessing I had normal delivery and this year went to Tirukaruggavor too to offer my prayers and thank her.She is always with me as my amma be it protecting Arshi or CK during my pregnancy stage.I had some complications for both my pregnancy, but both were born naturally.
Later we went to Vaiteswaran koil .In between we went to say hi to my hubby's aunt/attai too who was staying along the route we were traZ.
Saturday we left to Chennai from Cuddalore.
Sunday 17 th June was my birthday.Arshi bought few dresses for herself in a nearby shop where mil had bought her dress.As it wasn't fitting Arshi we went to exchange as per Arshi's size and taste. Evening we went to Nanganallur Anjaneyar koil and Ayyapan koi as well as Guruvaayur appan koil.
Tuesday we went to TNagar to have some shopping for kids.
Wednesday I went out to local market to buy few stuff whereas hubby and Arshi went back to Tnagar to buy few more stuffs.Evening my bro came to see me.
Thursday morning we started from house to airport and came back to Singapore.
