Quilling classes
I am thinking of taking quilling classes simply out of interest for that art. If what you see below excites you email me at nmathu (at) gmail (dot) com.
Drawing and essay writing competitons for the fifth year in Government School, Mugaliwakkam
This year on 12th of March 2014, we successfully completed the 5th - Annual drawing and essay writing competition in Government School, Mugaliwakkam, Chennai. The topis were - Drawing 6th and 7th - 'Indhiya Vizhakal' (Festivals of India). For 8th and 9th - 'Bhoomi yen veedu' (Earth my home). For Essay writing competition the topics were - 'Yennaku piditha manithar' - My role model. and 'Yenathu vazhkai latchiyam' - My life's ambition.
There was a good turn over of participants. Most of them had similar ideas but the ones who were different stood apart and won the prizes. We had the prize distribution on the following day prayer. It was received well by the students. The principal is going to retire this year, I hope the principal who replaces her will have the same attitude towards us.

Why I am blogging again
I have realized what a boring person I have become after reading my past blogs. I had blogged about small things that made my life worth living. Which I guess still exist but over powered by the so called mundane major part.
Looking back at some of Teju's videos has brought about a fresh change. I think I should start to blog or rather keep log of my life's small things. Well to start again I thought I will post Teju's welcome address at his school annual day program. A very proud moment for me mostly because when I saw for the first time children anchoring sports meet and annual day at his school it was so new to me. In my school only teachers do that part. That first time when I heard a kid announce/ speak I wanted Tejas to be standing there and doing it someday. That happened this year 2014.
Felt like I have achieved something personally. But on the contrary I sometimes feel that I am competing to be a good mother with someone whom I dont know but is better than me. Why do mother's have this pressure to make their child into something. Well, I was an average student all through out my school days but I figured what works for me and I have been quite happy the way my career has shaped. I tell people that I don't have IIT dreams or medical dreams for my son. I just want him to do whatever he does with excellence. But I am pushy sometimes. Need to ponder on this unknown/ non-existent mother who seem to be my competition always.
Anyway here's the video.
