The Naughty Little Fish

imagesOnce upon a time there was a little fish named Samy. Now Samy was a very naughty little fish, he loved jumping over the waves and feeling the warm sunshine on his face as he spread his fins and took a huge gulp of air and jumped into the beautiful blue ocean of the Pacific.

Samy had two brothers named Jimmy and Smoky. Smoky not only because of his smoky blue eyes but also because he loved blowing bubbles in the sign of the letter O into the sea, it made his parents angry but Smoky did what he wanted and considered himself one of the cool teenage fish. Samy wanted to be like Smoky he liked to play it Coool, but it always made the other fish laugh at him.

Samy and Smoky were partners in crime, they loved playing with old Mr Oyster by pushing some seaweed into his shell and making him sneeze. They loved watching the lady fish shopping for their food and make up for their fins and put Mr Octopus ink into their make up much to the shock of the fashion conscious lady fish who swam for days and days to get the octopus ink of their fins.

They loved going on adventures to the far off places of the ocean but you guessed it they were cool and did not listen to the advice of old grandpa fish. One day they decided to go the fish mall where they sold seaweed and other yummy fish food to eat while Smoky was trying to chat up a beautiful lady fish saying he was a model scout and could make her rich while the lady fish batted her eyes at smoky, as smoky really had an effect on the lady fish, but Samy pulled him away and said bro “why don’t we go for a ride on Mr Turtle and see where Old Mr Turtle will bring us”.

Smoky blew his favourite o in the water give lady fish a flying kiss and hopped on Mr Turtle. Ooooooh this was fun, they were surfing in the water on Mr turtle. They had some delicious sushi seaweed for lunch yummy, just then as they were having their lunch Mr turtle called it a day and went on to the land.

It was getting dark and cold and there was a storm. Samy got close to Smoky and said hey bro I am scared, Smoky said cool bro we will get back home but Smoky had no idea how to get back home, Suddenly the saw some thing black with white flashy teeth swim past the, smoky took Samy and tried to hide in some seaweed, suddenly they saw more black triangles and more sets of bright flashy teeth circling them they got scared, then one shark spoke out well,” well what do we have here, hmmm new to the neighbourhood buddy, I heard pacific country fish are scrumptious” and they came closer and closer  and there were four black triangles. Samy shouted help, help can anyone hear me help, smoky said we are really in deeps in this bro and put is fin proactively over Samy just as one of the triangles came close to Samy, they heard a beep leave those fish alone,

It was policeman dolphin and brigade as more and more dolphin police men came and head butted the sharks away, while the sharks said they were just trying to be friendly. The Dolphin police man named Ralph asked them their names and actually knew Samy and Smoky’s dad as they were in school together and took them home.

The whole family gathered to hear the adventurous tale which nearly lead to disaster if Ralph the Dolphin policeman had not intervened, Samy’s dad asked “Smoky would you like to say anything kid, Smoky said” yeah, I was like all cool and did not want to abide by the rules but dad now I know rules are meant for our good and protection sorry about tonight”His dad asked Samy would you like to say anything Samy” said I am sorry dad and thank you Dolphin Ralph for saving us”.

The family had sushi and went to bed Smoky said” hey bro Samy be cool by abiding by the rules there maybe times you might break the rules but always try to abide by the rules,” love you kid Samy”, Samy said “love you bro” being good is being cool “good night”.

Christmas Season

IMG_2931My dearest sweethearts, munchkins, darlings how have you been ? I have been busy this Christmas season by singing and decorating our home, cooking cakes and wiping runny noses but I thank God for the strength He has given me and the joy for doing this. I love being a mum and a wife of a future Pastor. Dear ones always count what you have and what you are thankful for and Christmas would be more exciting if you are lonely go to an old age home and spend time with them or visit an elderly relative make Christmas meaningful. There is so much of evil in this world but let us be lights in our thoughts, attitudes and actions no one is perfect every one has shortcomings that includes me but dear ones let the good in you be greater than the darkness all it takes is one small candle and the room is lit up let the candle or light of God in you light up the darkness if you have fallen into sin get up brush your knees and walk  again knowing that there will be times you fall but you can always walk further the next time before you trip again ask God to help you in this journey of life and when you fall sincerely repent and that addiction or sin will soon go away let the Light of Christmas dwell in your hearts, minds and lives. Dear ones I am hosting a online talk show this  Saturday the 22nd at 2:00pm GMT and in Indian time it is 7:30pm hope you can join and if you are interested here is the link to log in

Be Optimistic

Dear friends, munchkins, sweetypies, darlings, Did you have a nice weekend well I had a quiet weekend and am now a size 12 about 65ish weight and God has been so good to me this year. I thank God for what we have and am optimistic for a better future I know I can not be like those on the red carpet nor do I want to. I find pleasure in cooking a nice meal for my family. Date nights with my husband and cleaning wardrobes, washing dishes and wiping runny noses. I have settled for the domestic life as wife and mother.

My husband and daughter bring so much of joy into my life and my grand mother who is in her 80’s brings so much of wisdom and advice into my life. I have learnt so much from my grand mother as she was a principal of a large school has travelled the world preaching and teaching and she is my inspiration as a strong, independent, versatile, lady who has accomplished much in this world and I am proud to be Mrs Grace Sathyaraj’s grand-daughter. She taught me to bake, cook and be strong lady for my family a back bone to my husband. I love my grand  mother and I hope I touch people’s lives the way my  grand mother has, through her love and personality and her strong unwavering faith in God.

I hope I can be a strong and decisive person, darlings at times I am fickle minded but at those times I go close the door and ask God to give me wisdom to make the right choice and He does. Make God the head of your life in Big decisions as well as the little decisions as what shall I cook today and watch God enrich and fulfil your life.

Dear ones this coming New year be Optimistic for a better and brighter future. Learn to love your neighbour now ladies if your neighbour is tall, dark and handsome it is easy to love and men if your neighbour is a blonde bombshell it is easy to love :). But I am talking about old age homes, elderly relatives many of them are neglected it may even be your own family members give them a call tell them you love them one word of love can take away many years of hate reach out in love and God will Bless you.

God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life. Jesus is a God of love and if bad things has happened or people have bullied you forgive them they are hurting inside. Do not be a bully back reach out in love and may God make you an inspiration to people through love. Be a Santa Clouse not a Scrouge learn to give and learn to receive. May this  Christmas season fill your hearts with love, joy and peace.

Seasons Greetings

Let Go Of The Past

Dear sweet muchkins, sweety pies, darlings how have you been this week. Today I learnt a very important lesson and that was let go of the past whether it is past regrets or past glories let it go. King Solomon  a very wise King said everything man longs after is vanity be it riches or processions it is all vanity.

May be in your past you were a size zero and a bombshell but now well motherhood and cleaning and cooking have made you a bit frumpy but remember darlings there is always a rainbow amidst dark clouds. There is always sunshine after the rain.

Maybe you had a wonderful business in your past and now it is not as successful but so is the stock market there will come a time when it will go up and do well and just for the record the stock market for the gold shares is doing great and a great share to buy in the good old days of fun and innocence when I had just left university I was working with stocks and shares in the late 1990’s in ICICI Bank In Bangalore and at that time the stock market shares in gold went up triple the amount people paid for the shares and man was it exciting.

I failed in mathematics in the 9th grade but got the highest in English and home science but strangely my first job dealt with a whole lot of numbers and it was a wonderful learning experience. Then I left India to go abroad. Do I have regrets ? Strangely yes and no but from today I told myself I am not going to talk about my past glories  nor my past failures. Today is a new day live for today and plan for tomorrow. I decided it is good to plan rather than running like a headless chicken wondering what will I do tomorrow. My husband is a wonderful practical, analytical planner while I am intuitive and creative and there is a balance between the two being God.

There is a song which goes one day at a time sweet Jesus, those days turn to weeks, those weeks turn to months and those months turn to years if you do not plan you will be in the same place doing the same thing either grumbling or enjoying what you do. I hope it is the latter. Forgive and forget the past do not dwell in the past live in the present and plan for the future. Truthfully I have not planned anything yet but by the end of the year hopefully I can come up with a plan for life, apart from losing weight.

Dear ones today let go of past regrets ask God to help you let it go. Then look ahead not backwards look forward as they say in the army Forward March. So live today and plan for tomorrow yesterday you might have been the President what are you today unless you are Sir Obama.

So be someone great, do something worthwhile life is too short to dwell in your past make your present and future count.

Love always from the Indian Aunty xx

Family

Hello dear sweet friends ? How have you been ? Well I have been busy doing the usual wifely and motherly chores and duties. Hoovering or vacuuming, cooking delicious authentic Indian food but not as authentic as in India as I use very little spices  so that it is palatable for my husband.

You know mothers are the best teachers in the world and they can bring up presidents to lawyers to doctors mothers play a very important role in a child’s life. Do not underestimate fathers they too can provide a stable home for their sons and daughters.

Family a beautiful social unit. A wonderful relationship between husbands and wives and this social unit becomes a cultural unit, a democratic unit of a land they live in. Family is a relationship between parents and children and husbands and wives. In this day and age of divorce, adultery, swigging and swinging it is not fun or rebellion it is a disgraceful breakdown of morals and rebellion against not just your spouses but against God.

Dear ones sorry if I am being harsh but I am not a religious person and I do not even go to church every Sunday but I am spiritual and I believe  in the Lord God and I do not think of me as a school teacher confiscating your sweets but you look deep within do you feel good and happy getting drunk and having one night stands. Sex feels good for a few moments then  you think to your self what the heck have I done.

I did not have the privilege of getting married at a young age but I got married in the late 20’s. But some how God saved me, and made me wait  for my husband as a virgin. I actually thought I may never get married but I wanted to get married but now being a wife and a mother I am contended. I would like to get a job sometime later but now my sweet angel of a daughter needs me at home.

Yes I feel blessed even the kettle to make coffee and tea when I want, the stove to try out new recipes some wonderful , some disasters are all a blessing from God..My birthday is this month I am in my early thirties and all I can say is thank you God for my family and thank you for what I have so from a contended mummy and wife. from the Indian aunty

Made In India

Hi there dear sweetypies, my cho cho chweet friends, how are you doing this weekend ?  Today I am going to talk about “ Made In India” Have you seen the song made in India by Alisha. It was a very famous song during my college days late 1990’s it was a gripping song with an awesome message.

 

Do we really find similarities attract or do opposites attract. I think it can be vice versa. Love is a very strange and powerful force it can be used to unite or separate, it can produce strong emotions that are positive or negative emotions such as jealousy. I hope and pray we have positive emotions.

 

Women  I am talking to you, learn to love your husbands and do not be catty or B…tchy with other women, jealousy is negative and unattractive. I too have been catty many years back but my God has smoothed those rough edges and I try to see the good in other people and bring love and encouragement to them.

 

Learn to forgive sometimes the person you are forgiving maybe the innocent party after all and may have been inspired by some other people to do the wrong full act towards you. Whoever, whatever forgive and forget and let peace rule in your hearts,

 

Now coming back to made in India, not just the people but clothes especially Indian cotton clothes and traditional Indian attire such as sarees and kurthas are designed so gorgeously that it stands out as one of the most beautiful attire for women and men in the world,

 

Now coming to the people, Indian people are known for their intelligence especially in the computer field, indian music Mughals such as AR Rahman , Indian film directors such as Mani Ratnam and literary field my favourite author Rabindranath Tagore. Above all our freedom fighter through peace and non- violence Mahatma Ghandi.  These people should have got the Indian Nobel Prize..India a land of silks, spices, dances, exotic foods and cultures. It is a land one must visit to truly understand the world of India,

 

I am British Indian my husband is British and now Britain is my home land. A wise man once said “Adapt to the country you are living in yet do not forget your cultural heritage. Yes I am British yet every molecule in me is Indian,

 

Made in India yes I was, but now living abroad

Time for my tea

The Human Race

Hi there dear sweet munchkins, how are you all doing. Today I would like to talk about a wide spectrum of topics, different colours but same spectrum. Much like our world different races, cultures, heritage but same world that has spinning like a top among other planets, circled by other heavenly bodies some visible others invisible that even a fraction of  gravatical inconsistence can provide a great catastrophe but for thousands of years nothing like that has happened.

Who holds the gravitical spinning powers of our world and other worlds? Guess yes it starts with a G and ends with a D. Yes it is God. All he has to do is just stop gravity or stop the spins and we would be in No mans land yes there would be no man and there would be no land.

How awesome is this can you really believe that there was a Big Bang and womph there was an ape no it turned into man. That is rubbish, we are not monkeys, we are not angels we are the Human Race. We are homo sapiens. We are human beings. Yes the monkey is a mammal and so is the dolphin, and whale and elephant these creatures have high Mammalia IQ but dear ones they are  animals not human beings. One famous argument is that if monkeys turned into man why are they still monkeys now.

They are   animals we are human and there is a  division between the two and there is a psychological, physiological and biological gap between the two. I am not just proud to be Indo- British but I am proud to be a human being if every human is proud to be a human being they make themselves proud in any endeavour they do the world would be a better place. There would be  more creative thinkers and more businesses and better corruptionless governments.

The people of this world have to stand up and be proud for what they have got, healthy bodies, creative minds, medical science bringing out more cures and research for better medications such as cancer and aids and stem cell regeneration. Do something people don’t just sit on you’re A and ends with S and flip channels on your television and then gossip and grumble the world needs more creative thinkers. Yes that is you and me.

We all come from the same ancestors  and we will go where our ancestors went before us. But we are living in the now, now will not remain forever it will soon be past and be in the past let your present shine and be the best that we can be. If you want to change you can change, I can not change you but God can stop alcoholism and drug addiction or any not nice addiction we all have bad traits and that includes me but we can let it go and rise up and as people who can make an impact in this world. I want to be a blessing and be the best I can be and you can too.

You make you proud.

From the proud but not arrogant Indian aunty 

Do you have a game plan

My dearest sweet munchkins, sweetypies do you have a game plan for your life or your spouse’s life. If someone asked me if I have a plan the answer is realistic no. I wish I had a plan, I wish I can whisper my plans to somebody but the answer is no I do not have a plan. There are things that I would like but can’t see it in the near future but I do not have a plan there are always means to an end but the end is somewhere and like an island I do not have the  boat to get me what I want.

People say grow up act your age but I am me and I act the way I was brought up or society has made me. Every one has an inner child and we can push that inner child  or you just be you and that is what I am, I am me and not trying to copy or be someone else.

I am unique  as everyone is unique and I have my faults and yet I am me. No one is perfect, no one can have perfect thoughts or attitude but everyone has a bit of good and bad. I hope the good in me is greater than the bad.

Why the heck do we have to compare ourselves or compete with someone else maybe someone else has a game plan and you do not. Dear ones enjoy life, you are you and you are unique. If no one shows you love remember God loves you and He will never leave nor forsake you.

Maybe like me you have children who need your love and attention. Pour out your love to them and visit elderly relatives who need your love. What the world needs is undiluted, unsexualised pure love.

How can we love this way spend time reading spiritual books and prayer and meditation. Relax from your stress and worries. Do breathing exercises and then once you are energised you can give love to those near and dear to you. Don’t be selfish in love give a smile, or say hello or help someone in need and the God of love will shower his love on you.

Do you have a game plan the answer is No but my Lord has a plan and that is the best plan for my life. Let HIM the creator of life plan, seek his help and advice and any evil plan coming your way HE the Lord of life will destroy.

So do not be afraid or upset God has it all under control Believe and Expect the Best for your life. Life is too short for unnecessary, unrealistic ,competition.

So Smile and laugh and be happy. There is a song that goes have you got the sunshine smile or Colgate smile whatever smile and be happy.

The Road Not Taken

 

 

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost

Dear darlings, munchkins, sweetypies how are you all doing ? The poem above is one of my favorite poems.

I always wanted to be different and though I was able to fit into the mold of a good paster’s daughter I wanted to travel, to explore the world , to fall in love, and yes I did the  latter. I traveled, I went to different countries and explored different cultures still deep inside I was a paster’s daughter.

The cultures varied but inside I was a paster’s daughter I did not have the courage to rebel nor did I want to.

Rebellion can be a good thing or a bad thing. Martin Luther rebelled against the corruption of the early catholic churches and brought about reformation and freedom by justification of grace to the protestants.

Martin Luther King rebelled against white supremacy and today because of his rebellion we have a wonderful

colored President of USA which was only a dream in the times of Martin Luther King.

When the British ruled India, our great and wonderful freedom fighter Mahatma Gandhi brought about independence to India by sathyagraha or non-violence.

Rebellion can be a wonderful thing if done rightfully. Our Lord Jesus rebelled against the Pharisees and broke boundaries between the Gentiles and the Jews and now we can accepted into God’s family of believers due to the breaking of boundaries by Jesus.

Dear ones if you want to rebel go ahead and do it right, doing drugs or over dosing in alcohol or bed hoping is not rebellion it is stupidity. So if you want to rebel rebel  go ahead, but do it for your benefit and the benefit of society.

If you were bullied or tormented prove your adversaries wrong do well in life, go to university, get a good job. Susan Boyel the lady who was tormented all her 46 years rebelled by going on Britain’s got talent and became a global sensation and those who tormented her hid their faces in shame.

Go ahead break the mold of society, travel the less travelled road, life is too short to do nothing if people are mean to you rebel and flash them the sweetest smile and say how do you do, maybe they are jealous, maybe they are insecure but my dear friend are “You”. “You” are not them, “You” are not everybody, “You” are somebody and that is why they are frightened. So stand up and make a difference in this community and the world. The Stakes are high the rewards worthwhile. God Bless from the Rebellious Indian aunty

Let Go Of The Hat

Hi there dear sweet muchkins, sweetypies, darlings how have you been ? Well this week I have been busy with my weightloss countdown. Been cooking healthy options and trying my best not to indulge in chocolate and cookies.

Weightloss is a journey that some individuals have to travel through. There are a lucky few that how they eat does not alter their physique but generous portions for the other half  lead to generous proportions of the latter half.

There was once an old lady whose skirt was flying high up in the wind but she did not let go of the hat that she was holding on to with both hands so a young man wanting to help her said “ mam your skirt is flying high up please pull your skirt down” To which she angrily replied mister  what you see is 80 years old but I only bought this hat yesterday”. 🙂

Dear ones let go of the hat what ever your worldly processions they are important but it is more important to to attend to the more obvious. It is time to let go of the hat and listen to sound advice. This advice can come through reading a self- help book, reading the Bible, or just listening to our spouse’s words, or mentor’s words. Some friends advice is genuine but there are others who can lead you astray or are jealous pray for wisdom to listen to what is sound and good for your journey on earth.

Choose your friends wisely and listen to the advice of your parents or loved ones who care about you. If a friend says sniff this drugs it is great Do not do it, you know it is wrong and it leads to death. Listen to inner  voice God usually speaks to us in this voice and if something seems not right you might just be right it is not right.

There are several factors that help us make choices when we are old enough to make decisions. It can be society, your family, your friends, your bosses, your colleagues but at the end of the day the choice is up to you.

Money is important but your loved ones, your spouse, your children are more important. May be you want to make a secure future for your loved ones it is true but neglecting them is as bad as spending all your earnings instead of saving for the future.

Dear ones it is time to let go of the hat and listen to sound advice or listen to your heart. Your heart will not lie.

Wishing you a happy life from

The Indian Aunty
