After parking our car.we took entrance tickets in the counter.They asked us to wait for the bus.They gave Film city Map and Ramoji Stickers along with the tickets.We have to stick those stickers on our costumes.Camera is allowed inside for free of cost.I waited for the vintage bus along with my aunt,cousins,nephews,jansi and pallavi.

when the bus came we all got in and seated with the other visitors.The bus rode up the wide black asphalt road winding around the hill crossing the entrance board of the Majestic Theme park.

Varamaha lakshmi vratha special

Wish you all happy Varamaha lakshmi vratha Due to fasting and tiredness.i couldnt blog yesterday so here iam with the wishes... yesterday is Varalaxmi Vratha or varamahalakshmi Vrata is a sacred day in Hinduism. The ceremony is performed by married Hindu women on the Friday before the full moon in the month of Sravana mostly it falls in July/August in the western calendar.This is an important Vratha for all Hindu women to seek the blessings of the goddess Mahalakshmi, wife of Lord Vishnu, who is considered to be the abode of wealth and prosperity.Varamahalakshmi Vratha is performed more commonly in the southern India. So on the day of Varalakshmi vratam,I woke up early in the morning cleaned the house and decorated the front yards with rangolis.then took bath and wore a new designer net saree and jewellery.then invited few neighboring women to our house for pooja. Prepared Nine varieties of delicacies with mom such as sweet pongal,milk payasam,sundal,paruppu payasam,soyum,Kesari,vadai,Panchamrutham and Milk kova. then i arranged the kalasha the sacred pot,smeared the turmeric on the pot and decorated with vermillion.filled the kalasha with rice and water symbolizing prosperity.Placed few betel leaves surrounding the kalash.Then placed a coconut smeared with turmeric and vermilion on the kalasha. Placed this kalasha before the deity of Varalakshmi on a special mahalakshmi rangoli.Decorate the idol of lakshmi with flowers,jewels and lights. I tied the toram on the right hand of my Mom,my SIL and to my Niece. Torams are bunch of eight threads with eight knots which signify Ashtalakshmi.then i light deepam and incense sticks.I made a ganesha with turmeric and Started the vrata by offering pooja to lord ganesha first.then started the kalash pooja followed by lakshmi pooja.Chanting Lakshmi Ashtottara Shatanamam offering flowers to the goddess, fruits. After completing the pooja we Present the neighbouring women tamboolam. Tamboolam is an offering consisting of fruits, betel leaves,vermilion, turmeric,delicacys and a cloth of blouse.

HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY to all my friends...
I would like to share the shortest story of mine with all of you on this special day.
once again...wish you all happy friendship day.



Peter was strolling on the hill near by his house on that afternoon.the weather was pleasant.

Ritu was in denim jeans and floral top and patent leather boots, curly burgundy hair pulled back in a ponytail. She started running towards the edge of the huge cliff.

“Hey stop” screamed peter at the top of his voice running to stop her.

“She is going to end her life” his instinct warned him.

Beads of perspiration blossomed on her fair glow face. She was nervous.
Reluctant to answer him. She jumped off.
He slowed down as he approached the cliff, seeing her happily bungee jumping.trying to catch his breath.Peter showed off a toothy grin.
She waved at him happily...
