Prayer Brings Victory

When I asked God for strength
he gave me difficult situations to face
When I asked God for brain
he gave me puzzle in life to solve
When I asked God for happiness
he showed me some unhappy people
When I asked God for wealth
he showed me how to work hard
When I asked God for favors
he showed me opportunities to work hard
When I asked God for peace
he showed me how to help others
God gave me nothing I wanted
He gave me everything I needed

Bye 2010......Hi 2011........

                             As we have have come to the end of this 2010, we're all ready to welcome the fresh new year 2011, with lot of hopes, dreams and goals to be accomplished in the coming year. And, me too, as I am standing at the edge of this year, was just recapping my mind to the start to this 2010 till to-date. So, I just thought of sharing my view about this year in my personal life before entering into the awaiting year. 
                           First and foremost, I really thank the Lord God Almighty for whatever He has done and whatever He's going to do, from the inside of my heart....................And lemme start my review abt tis year!
                          This year, to be very frank, is really a worthless year in one sense for me as well as a worthy one for me in another sense. It is a precious year for me since I learnt a lot in my life and became a lil' bit matured (I think so..........), all because of the sufferings I went throughout this year, specifically 75% of this year. Above all, it was in this year, that I realised the true love of Jesus Christ and became his sweetheart :-). Otherwise, to be more precise, I can say that, the whole of 2010 is the one which I wanted to erase completely from my episode of life. In 2010, I went through lots and lots of untold miseries................but still......I'm happy that, eventhough the start of 2010 was a worst one, the ending of this year is good indeed, when compared to the beginning. God hath done so so much miracles in my life this year and He's the only reason that I'm living today. Since I don't wanna drag the negative and unnecessary aspects, I'll stop here about them and talk about the good and great things........................
                         As I said earlier, this year is also a blessed year in my life because I'm 'born again'.....I would say. Yeah...........I learnt that my Creator has always created me with a great purpose in life and His plans are greater than mine and He has great things in store for me. He has given me all the blessings in life, starting from a very sweet family to a great career for me too. So, I have no words to thank my Lord for whatever I have in my life. 
                        Finally, I am ready to welcome the coming year 2011 too with a good spirit of spirituality, love, joy, peace and perseverance. Looking forward for My Father's word for me tomorrow in the watch-night service at church and for giving a fresh start to the year by offering my worship and prayers.............Awaiting for the budding of the forthcoming blessed year! I wish you all a very happy and prosperous New Year............Commit yourselves to the Lord rather than relying on your sinful selves, and He'll look after you in each and everything......................God Bless You!!!!!

May Lord Almighty make ur year a happy one!
Not by shielding you from all sorrows and pain,
But by strengthening you to bear it, as it comes;
Not by making your path easy,
But by making you sturdy to travel any path;
Not by taking hardships from you,
But by taking fear from your heart;
Not by granting you unbroken sunshine,
But by keeping your face bright, even in the shadows;

PUSH


                 Yep......Pray Until Something Happens (PUSH)........
This is one of the messages that I heard a couple of months ago in my church and today, just as I was having a glance through my notes, I came through this piece of message-yielding scripture part that I felt that I had to share with this world. So here it goes..............................

                                  The part of new testament taken for meditation is Luke 18:1-8
This part of scripture just manifests a simple logical message, that God will surely answer His people if they go on asking Him in prayer. To explain what is said in this short passage from the Bible, in a nutshell, this pictures a story which Jesus narrates to his followers to unveil the matter that everyone should pray without losing hope. It is said that there was a judge in a town who don't care about God or other people, wherein, a widow was also there who wanted a favor to be done for her by him. But he didn't do for a long time, yet she went on pestering him.........So, finally, a moment came when he thought to grant her the favor tat she had requested, thinking that atleast she would stop bothering him anymore. Thus her wish was granted for her. This is the same thing that happens in our life too. When we start crying to our Lord day and night for our problems or desires or anything else, He won't be slow to answer us and finally the wish will be granted for us(b'coz of our continuous prayer).

(1) DON'T  WORRY - PRAY (Phillipines 4:6,7)

                                     Instead of worrying and meditating our problem, its a very wise and apt decision to sit and pray, pouring ourselves whole-heartedly to the Lord God Almighty, so that His peace, which is incomparable to any other feelings that we yield from man will surround us and keep us safe. Worrying and getting depressed paves no way for anything other than the situation getting even worse. For getting the right solution for our troubles, we should seek Him in prayer, giving thanks always.

(2) DON'T  QUIT - PRAY PERSISTENTLY (Psalm 55:15,16,17)

                                   Sometimes, we may not get an answer for our prayer,that is, a solution for our problem as quickly as we desire. So, the acceptable truth is that most of us feel fed up in our lives and stop praying or start to ridicule our God for not giving an answer. But, tats the big fault that we do in our lives. Instead, the correct thing is, we have to sit more in God's presence and start holding His feet, crying to him persistently, for which He'll surely light up our lives, wiping away our tears. After all, He's a very just and faithful God! So, the gist is that our prayer should not be quit at any cost.

(3) DON'T  DOUBT - PRAY POSITIVELY (James 1:6,7 ; I John 5:15)

                                  This is a common thing that we do always. Of course, we pray, worship and we do everything. But our innermost soul and heart won't believe positively. We'll always have a doubt whether the thing we desire would happen. The Holy Bible strictly insists that we shouldn't even have a doubt in the size of a mustard seed. If we have it, then there's no use in asking God for that. When we pray, we should always have the optimistic thought that its going to be done for us. And the ultimate fact is that, it WILL be done for us too.


So....Friends........this is the one of the sermons that got deeply rooted into my inner self and I have experienced it too. I've always experienced a wonderful peace of mind after saying all my miseries to my God, that I won't get from any humans in this world. He's such a counselor, comforter and Helper!We all have just heard the saying,
                                         Prayer Brings Victory
and its so true and it itself conveys the exact message. So, Pray , pray and pray till you get an answer for your matters, however petty or great it may be!

Looking back............


There is no place as sweet as the presence of the Lord. No true and deep as the love of God. No guidance as perfect as the guidance of the Most High. No dreams as great as the will of the Almighty. No medicine as powerful as the blood of Jesus, that can heal, not only physical sickness but also spiritual weakness and wounds. He always is the best, in all ways, and so rejoice, coz you have all right to say
                    "I AM HIS AND HE IS MINE"

                              Yes......Tomorrow is my birthday and just I dedicate this post exclusively for my God who has created me with a purpose and for a purpose and I'm just sitting now and rewinding my mind to years back and forwarding till my present second how I was being led by Him miraculously throughout my life till date, through this rugged path of my lyf journey... I'll just share whatever  the thoughts and experiences and philosophies learnt in my lyf, those I feel that they are worth of disseminating to everyone.

                             Childhood days are really the awesome and beautiful days of anybody's life and tats true for me too.....Wow.... Cute child of an extremely kind and God-fearing parents... Eventhough I can't remember much how I was during my first 4 yrs of age I pretty well remember the emergence of a new family member..yes...my kutti brother....OOhhhh.... Tat was the time when jeni will always be filled with envy and anger because of the fact that her precious love and affection frm her dear parents are going to be shared with another soul too.... That was the time when I was very studious, spiritual (yes..guided by my mom) and chooo naughty and an extremely huggable pet by my parents, sibling as well as by my family...Yes...I was like a star...Everybody likes me and admires me...and ...and...and...no words to say.....a cutie pie I was!

                               Thenn....as usual as I grew up, and ages passed by, a different aspect of journey started and continuing till now.....Yes...unlike the babyhood and childhood stages, which were, of course, a tension and stress-free life, the later on times of life, eventhough they were fascinating too, still I had to strive hard with trials and tribulations in life which are usually given by God to test our faith. As written in I Peter 3:17, if God's will is that, its always better to suffer for doing good. Whatever it may be, in studies or in workplace or in life, God gives us trials just for melting and moulding us to become the appropriate and right vessel that he chooses to be.

                             That too, being as a Christian, the life will not at all be a bed of roses or a bed of soft cotton balls, but its indeed a painful life, which we can withstand and be still rejoicing in the Lord if we catch hold on him, than giving a way for Satan to ruin our life by being trembled with fear or just broken down completely. As stated in Psalm 34:17, God always lends an ear and hears his people if they call out for him and save them from all their troubles....The thing tat we have to do is, just to cast all our burdens and wordly worries upon Jesus and be relaxed and rejoicing in Him. Thats what I have learnt in my life.... When I face problems or situations that are so disconcerting, previously wat I used to do is, go on meditating about the problem and worrying and tat n tis...but when I started to pray and share everything with the Almighty, an extraordinary  peace and contentment tat tis world and its desires wouldn't give us, would surround me and let me live happily.. tats the secret of my happiness....I would say...Yes friends...Our God is so faithful that he never leaves his children astray or as orphans and I am a living example.

                          Another thing tat I experienced in my life is, we may make various plans and decisions and actions in our life, but the ultimate fact is that only the Lord's wish will happen and none of ours. So, its better to offer our lives to Him so that he'll be having great plans for our lives and when we let them happen, those things will be the best in our life. Proverbs 19:21 states this. So, keep everything in prayer and be patient in knowing His will in our lives. Because when we go hastily into our own decisions rather than the Lord's it would bring a great devastating effect in our lives and I've experienced tat too.

                          But, whatever happens in our life, we have to thank God at all times (Ephesians 5:20), because He is good and everything happens to us for a reason. If he takes something away from us, it means that he's having something great in store for us. So, never be discouraged or disappointed at any point in our life. Moreover, as said in Luke 6:27,28 we should love our enemies and pray for those who are cruel to us. I pretty well know that tis is very difficult to follow and even I don't follow, but still, trying to follow, we can do tat...I think so...! Also, as written in James 4:10, its always wise to humble before God's presence so that we'll be honored.

                       Above everything, God protects His children wherever they go with His angels (Psalm 91) and I always thank Him for that....Yes...I always thank Him for giving another new day coz' our life is not in our hands. We can't assure that we'll be alive tomorrow or not. Thats life and its now that I've understood it.

                      So, I don't wanna drag this more...bcoz I'm not a preacher or a puritan or a philosopher to share these things. But the fact is, these are some of the things that I've learnt all these years in my journey of life and I felt tat its always worth sharing good info with others. Ok....so the good msg tat i'm gonna convey for my birthday is,
 
First of all I thank the Almighty for having created me and still guides me and leads me in this tough path of life. Then, my parents, sibling, my dear well-wishers and friends for having made my life colorful. So, be happy and good to the maximum extent. After all,life is a battle field and we are all warriors who are bound to fight a good fight and finally pursue the everlasting crown of life......:-)

                                                        Here are some of my favorite snaps..............

I wonder........!!!!

                               Today morning, I was just viewing a video entitled "32 Facts About Boys" and after finished watching it, I'm still wondering whether those stated facts are really true and if so, to what extent are they true.....is a great question mark(?) in my mind. That too, even if I could accept some, others really appear to be very unrealistic and false ones to me. So, folks, just go through them........i have written them below........and plz do comment about wat u think and how do u view it... and please let me know if they are really true or it depends upon the individual souls and there are exceptions.......... So, whatever may be, I want to just know whether these are really 'facts' and that's the purpose of this post of mine. Here comes the 32 facts about boys.

(1)   Guys don't actually look after good-looking girls. They prefer neat and presentable girls.

       (May be true to some extent)

(2)   Guys hate flirts. 

       (yes.. I agree!)

(3)   When a guy says he doesn't understand you, it simply means you're not thinking the way he is. 

       (huh...sounds absurd)

(4)   Guys may be flirting all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care   about.

       (I totally disagree with this)

(5)   When a guy really likes you, he'll disregard all your bad characteristics.

        (Hmmm....I don't think so...)

(6)   Guys go crazy over a : girl's smile.

        (yep.....exactly true!)

(7)   Guys will do anything just to get the girl's attention.

        (partially agreed)

(8)   When you touch a guy's heart, there's no turning back.

        (I can't accept this)

(9)   When a girl says "no", a guy hears it as "try again tomorrow"... so true.

        (maybe true)

(10)   You have to tell a guy what you really want before he gets the message clearly.

         (well........tats ok)

(11)   Guys love their moms.

         (cent percent acceptable)

(12)   A guy would sacrifice his money for lunch just to get you a couple of roses.

         (tats fine...but does this fact holds right for 'everyone'?)

(13)   You can never understand him unless you listen to him.

         (maybe......but can't wholly approve tis)

(14)   If a guy tells you he loves you once in a lifetime. He does.

        (Nope......not at all.......there are many fake ones too.....)

(15)   Beware. Guys can make gossips scatter through half of the face of the earth faster than girls can.

         (Yeah...tats rite.....)

(16)   Like Eve, girls are guys' weaknesses.

        (mmm....tats a reasonable and acceptable truth)

(17)   Guys are very open about themselves.

          (No...they are not always.......)

(18)   It's good to test a guy first before you believe him. But don't let him wait that long.

         (yup.. tats correct. But it lies in the hands of females)

(19)   Guys hate it when their clothes get dirty. Even a small dot.

          (I doubt!)

(20)   Guys really admire girls that they like even if they're not that much pretty.

          (Maybe... tis s a fact)

(21)   If a guy tells you about his problems, he just needs someone to listen to him. You don't need to give advice......... very true.

         (tat sounds true....)

(22)   A usual act that proves that the guy likes you is when he teases you.

         (Oh really? I  wonder!)

(23)   Guys keep secrets that girls tell them.

          (No. Not always...)

(24)   Guys think too much.

          (Yes)

(25)   Guys fantasies are unlimited.

          (Is it so?)

(26)   Girls' height really doesn't matter to a guy.

         (well... it depends.....upon the persons....I guess)

(27)   Guys tend to get serious with their relationship and become too possessive. So watch out girls!

          (tis too doesn't apply to all...... I think so....)

(28)   Guys are more talkative than girls are especially when the topic is about girls.

         (Correct!)

(29)   You can truly say that a guy has good intentions if you see him praying sometimes.

           (S.....provided he's not acting as if he's praying)

(30)   If a guy says you're beautiful, that guy likes you.

         (yeah...)

(31)   Guys hate girls who overreact.

         (Oh...)

(32)   Guys love you more than you love them IF they are serious in your relationship.

          (I agree this by approving the 'if' part)

                          So.............My goodness!...............these are the 32 facts about boys...it seems........
But what I wanted to get clarified is, are all these really true to the best or it varies from person to person? B'coz personally I feel that, all doesn't hold true. To be more precise, it doesn't prove to be right for 90% of the guys. So, friends, jst tell me what you think about this and what's ur opinion.

Image of "MOTHER"

         On earth - from the first time she saw you, cradled in her arms, she has loved you more than anyone else in the world. Remember the time when you were delirious with fever, she was by your side night after night, wide awake...... She was the one who combed your hair at an age when you didn't have a clue about fashion..... When you won the first prize at the school competition she was there, watching silently, with her eyes wet with happiness and pride..... And no matter how big you have grown, her presence could always wipe away your fears and tears..... And make you feel like a little child again..... You are the star of her eye, the heart of her heart..... The reason for her life..... Show her that you feel the same...Never ever make her sad......



Yes...... She's our mom.... who carried us right from we were formed from a single cell inside her womb and till-date carrying in her heart. Today I felt like writing about tat genuine selfless human being who has and is and will always dedicate her life for us, least thinking about her own well-being. I have heard everybody saying that a woman feels herself so precious and whole when she sees her baby's face for the first time. Yup...when she has been raised to the status of a 'mother'.

                           Personally feeling, to be very frank, I always adore and admire my father more than my mom, may be because I'm a female child. But still, I always have a soft corner, indeed, a very lovable place for my mother in my heart which I don't express much as much as I express to my father. When I think of her, just rolling a flashback in my mind, she's a kind soul who always tolerates and bears all my mood swings. To be more precise, all the grudges, grievances or any kinda anger, I squeeze everything to my mom only. At the same time, my positive feeling like happiness or cheerfulness too she accepts with a grateful heart. Today I was just thinking, "Who will be like this other than a mother?" Yes.... tats the point of time when I solely realized her greatness.
                              Even though I go irritating and scolding her at her presence, really I can't even look forward her absence for one day. Truly and surely will miss her acquaintance, her delicious hygienic food, just her voice or at-least just her presence in our home sweet home. Our family and home will never become complete without her... bcoz tat's her uniqueness and tats what she is! Nobody can substitute her........tats God's creation of the divine character....Maaaa.......!
                            And I wish to dedicate this post of mine wholly to my mummy who has sacrificed her life for the sake of our whole family and who's otherwise a kind, clean-hearted, responsible, spiritual, patient and a very nice person to be with.. I present a poem and a video as a tribute for all mothers of the world who are truly worthy of their motherhood. Amma I love you!!!!!



How did you find the energy, Mom
To do all the things you did,
To be teacher, nurse and counselor
To me, when I was a kid.
How did you do it all, Mom,
Be a chauffeur, cook and friend,
Yet find time to be a playmate,
I just can’t comprehend.
I see now it was love, Mom
That made you come whenever I'd call,
Your inexhaustible love, Mom
And I thank you for it all.





THE GENUINE MEANING FOR LOVE :-

                          Once, there was a big fire accident near a village in US. After tat, the forest officers went there to find the situation. There, they saw a HEN died on standing position.... one officer pushed the hen through his stick; the hen slowly fell down....... Suddenly the officers were shocked......! Bcoz they had seen 11 chickens staying safely inside the mother's wing....!
Nothing can be larger than mother's love.....!

A Dog Is The Only Thing On This Earth That Loves YOU More Than He Loves Himself

                    Yes..........its exactly true...........Dogs are the best companion for man if he's best used to them and experienced with them. Today I feel lyk writing about the fact that I feel regarding puppies and dogs as the one which are the best to have as pets in our family. From my childhood itself we have always kept dogs as a part of our home, not only for the purpose of guarding but also for the matter that we, human beings, ought to learn a lot from them in our day-to-day lives.


Acquiring a dog may be the only opportunity human ever has to choose a relative.


                  Actually the day tat I was born out of my mom's womb, the same day our dog in my house had given birth to almost 10 male puppies .. hahaha.............that seemed to be a hilarious comedy....I guess! Everyone thought tat since Bobby (our dog) gave birth to a rounded number of males, my mom would also give birth to a male baby and tat it was just an indication for tat....But for everyone's shock, tat prediction proved to be wrong and I was the only female pet in my house at that time. :-)

 All knowledge, the totality of all questions and answers, is contained in the dog.

                Really, dogs are very much known for their ultimate qualities like gratefulness, kindness and understanding... They can even understand what we are talking if they were brought up along with us like children right from their very young baby stage. They deserve the truth tat they are the best pets to be kept at home.  I love them a lot since, right from my childhood stage itself, I have been with many dogs in my home as pets. According to my opinion, they are far more better than human beings who stab us on the back even as they are with us as good acquaintances.

The dog has an enviable mind; it remembers the nice things in life and quickly blots out the nasty.

                   And at present, we have a dachshund breed named Rimmy and she's the naughtiest baby in our house. Whatever things she does, we can admire........... she's such a cutie pie......very compassionate, homely and affectionate dog that even I wonder how I'll be feeling lonely at her absence and couldn't even imagine about it. She's just like a family member in our home sharing all our joys and pains that she's very much aware and conscious about what's going on in our home. Sometimes, when I see her, I feel so nice of her that she behaves to us in such a consoling and understanding way that I wonder man is no better than a dog in any way. People are so worst even after having an additional sense when compared to these animals.

The average dog is a nicer person than the average person.

                   I am dedicating this post exclusively to our Rimmy whom I consider as a precious family member in our house. And following are some of her pics which I have taken after putting on great hard work 
( OMG....she's sooooo scary about facing the camera.......hehehehe............but will i leave....? hmmm....somehow i took some after having a chase session with her....lemme present my pet's photographs)

You want a friend in this life? Get a dog!

Hahahaha..........This is how she hides herself while seeing the camera focussing on her

Hmmmmm........Who will get this relaxation on the couch? We don't have time even to sit for some time...but look at her. How lucky she is.....!

Mmmmm........."I'll never give a pose!" she says..........

Habaaaaaaaa............finally somehow my brother caught hold of her and made her look at the cam for a few seconds

So pity condition.........................went inside a cupboard finally to escape from my 'photo capturing' torture



A dog is better than I am, for he has love and does not judge.

                          Finally, I am just adding a very humorous funny dog video just for your refreshment. Just have a look at it and enjoy their pranks!

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the principle difference between a dog and a man.

Uses Of Good Communication Skills In Everyday Life



                         Communication skill is the way of communicating with another person in an effective manner.  Communication can be in any way, in the sense that, maybe in an eloquent manner or vague manner or professional manner or whatever it would be. But the ultimate fact is that it is a skill or technique of delivering the intended matter in a correct way such that it attracts or makes the recipients to have an ear on us and approve our information. As a matter of fact, an effective communication skill is needed for each and every individual to maintain successful relationships in our everyday life, including family, friends or workplace relationships. The first and foremost benefit that is derived from a good communication skill is self-confidence which is the most necessary trait that an individual should possess for a success in any career. Secondly, the leadership qualities get risen up in a confidential communicator. Above all, nowadays, in any fields, people with excellent communication skills are only given greater and foremost importance than the others, which, in turn, leads a way to reach higher skies in life. So, communication skill is an important criterion to be developed among today's students, more than technical education, for the betterment of their future.

Importance Of Physical Fitness And Wellness

How To Have A Healthy And Long-Lasting Relationship

                       
                        In this fast world of mechanical lifestyle, its a challenging task for young couples to manage their long-term relationship. There are a few guidelines which will be helpful in creating a healthy and long-lasting romantic relationship which are as follows.

(i)   We have to be ourselves. A true love will always embrace you in the natural way you are and would not  indulge his or her desires on you.

(ii)   Having an open communication with each other would serve to be a good booster for a healthy relationship.

How To Avoid Gossip In The Workplace

          Gossiping within a workplace usually occurs by targeting a single individual about whom the information is related to. It can be compared to the old 'Telephone" game wherein, a matter which is conveyed by the first person, goes on sharing with each person by person, and finally when reaching the last person, the whole matter gets twisted which becomes false information. Similarly, inside the office, some bits of gossip may be true whereas others may not. However, gossip is a hurtful means of communication which should be avoided to a great extent.

. Some of the ways to avoid workplace gossip are:
(a)   Analysis should be done about the person who starts spreading the  gossip to know their actual intention.  
(b)   Evaluation should be done on the information received to make a decision whether  to share it or not.
(c)   You should be the last receiver of the gossip.
(d)   Divert the topic of discussion.
(e)   State straightly to the gossiper that you don't entertain such things.
(f)   Warning the gossiper about the consequences of gossiping inside the workplace.
(g)   Set a good example before others by not participating in such gossip  sessions.
                                       Above all, when you come to know of a gossip about you, be ready to confront the person and ask boldly about the issue.

Lush.....Greeeeeeeeen........Nagercoil......(A place lyk paradise to live in)

                                          Today I feel lyk writing about ma hometown Nagercoil, which is a place with all kinds of natural treasures gifted by Mother Nature and a fantabulous place to live in. As you can see in the above pic, its situated at the southernmost tip of India, surrounded by pleasant water on all sides. Being joined with Tamilnadu in 1956 as a result of fragmentation from Kerala, now Kerala is the nearest neighbour to  Kanyakumari district. And hence, even now, the people from Northern parts of Tamilnadu consider our slang to be a mixture of Malayalam and Tamil.
                                        Here I am sharing some of the awesome beauty elements of Nagercoil(KK dist)

The Clock Tower, situated in the heart of the town (which is more than 100 years old)

Nagaraja temple, from which the town derives its name

Suchindrum Temple

Monsoon clouds in Nagercoil

Hills in Nagercoil

Padmanabapuram Palace

Windmills near the outskirts of Nagercoil

Thirparappu Waterfalls

Kanyakumari beach

St. Francis Xavier's Cathedral

                                              These are only some to mention, but still there are many more attractions in our place to visit and enjoy. 

                                             To speak about the climate in Nagercoil, its always so pleasant to stay here, I would say....coz since its location is such that its lined along the Western Ghats, we receive rains from both North-east monsoon and South-west monsoon, as a result of which the weather seems to be always soothing here which I m enjoying right frm my babyhood days....:-) Really to be frank, I would always miss the pleasantness of Ngl only when I go to highly horrible climate areas like Chennai. 

                                          Nagercoil is a very good developing area in all fields starting from education, industries, factories to the extent of Multinational Companies. Yes, I m proud to say that small small budding companies are getting established in Ngl which in turn gives sure assurances for the quickest development of ma town.

                                       Oh My God!....The best thing tat I m late to tell abt my place is the food. Here, rice is the staple food, accompanied with fish curry and tasty vegetable cuisines, coz here we add coconut as ingredient for many of the dishes which adds additional flavour to the food. Apart from that, we eat most of the Kerala dishes like appa, puttu, idiyappam and so on along with sidedishes prepared in our style. Moreover, I had to state about the banana chips and Jack Fruit chips without which we can't survive at all........hehehehehe...:-))

                                    The best and foremost feature of Nagercoil and its adjacent areas are the Scenic beauty which can never be seen so beautiful and magnificient in any other parts of Tamilnadu...... and I would say tat I m short of words to describe my heaven's natural beauty which comprises of fields, rivers, ponds, mountains, farm animals which can be said as the golden jewels of Mother Nature.

                                 So, as the proverb goes, "East or west, home is the best", for me too, wherever I go, even abroad, I miss ma hometown Nagercoil because I feel that no place on this earth would substitute such a fabulous place where all comforts are there.
