Varamahalakshmi Pooja
Hello Everyone...
Wishing you all Happy Varalakshmi varatham.
Today I am celebrating Varalakshmi Vratham at home. This is the first time Iam celebrating this pooja after marriage and also very first time i am going to make Maa Lakshmi ka Idol.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi06wHQSxVVHLfDOIuCtR7xKYxDPhjqz6m4VAyKsAzJYTJKRzFXNylf9dlr6xDR_eQnObwCYKeL_r-CJXMkjVQjcx-hEohldrBkrKh_JuIs7RSvRuniJCbL-65ycHvMQ4h9-T7iye2VLFA/s320/20190809_195551.jpg)

Yes... I always love to decorate Maa lakshmi idol every year but i dont have an idol we use to celebrate with a picture of Lakshmi maata.
This year i thought of making an idol. But I dont have any idea and mom was trying something with the coconut. suddenly an struck in my crafty mind and the creator in me started moulding the idol in mind. I took a Coconut and a pocket of turmeric powder. and geared up to sculpt. I am not sure how it is going to turn out
Now i mixed the turmeric with water and made a fine thick paste. started moulding the forehead, then the eyes, nose, cheecks, cjin and lips. the features turned out somewhat ok. then moulded the ears. one ear will fell down when i fix the another one. finally everything got ready.
now the colouring part is done with my cosmetics ...
This is how our Maa lakshmi accepted my poja on the day of Varalakshmi pooja and blessed us with love. Some of the pictures of Maa ji.

Book Review - Shhh! Don't Talk About Mental Health by Arjun Gupta
Hello Everyone…
Today I am going to Review a newly launched Book - Shhh! Don't Talk About Mental Health by Arjun Gupta
The Title of the book and the three monkeys on the cover page grabbed my attention and I couldn’t resist to give it a read. The author has very neatly presented his thoughts in a very different perspective supported with hard work and research.
People still lack awareness about mental illness and address the mentally sick people by names like Lunatic, insane, wild, and unstable. The ill-treatment towards those people is still on. Not like the olden days they have not beaten or chained today but the most sophisticated methods have been used. Their family, friends, and society abandon them or keep their distance, which makes them more isolated and tend to harm themselves.
Yashasvi at the age of 19 suffer from clinical depression, and it took him two long years to recover. The story focuses on the history of depression, clique theories, and the mentality of society towards the sufferer. Back in 500 to 1400 CE, people believed that the mind of a mentally ill was possessed by a demon and the priests do lotta this and that’s to get rid of the spirit. In 1247, Bethlem hospital was established in London for the mentally sick, but they were chained, beaten, and experimented on.
The most interesting part of the book is the historical facts about the Mentall Illness, the treatment, the stigmas attached to it and the prejudice.
He also talks about the people in the past, who had brought fruitful changes in the society. One among them is Clifford Beers, He developed depression and suffered physical abuse, humiliation, and mistreatment, but he overcame and wrote a book. Though he was neither a doctor nor a psychiatrist, his work is highly honoured and he is considered as a father of Mental Health in America.
Mentally depressed person should be treated with utmost love and care which plays a major role in their recovery. If a person didn't get the timely care, and support from their family and friends, they tend to isolate themselves that leads to self-harm. One should need to understand and identify the symptoms of mental illness and get treated immediately..
The book deals with a notion which is not considered paramount. The difference between mental and physical illness, emotional intelligence, the biopsychosocial model, the role of media and movies played, the stigma and stress comes with the disorder are explained in a subtle language. When the voices in your head become your worst enemy, the pain is unbearable. The emotional outbursts, angriness, and suicidal thoughts make a person more miserable and vulnerable. So instead of telling them to get over with it or get a life, try to understand their situation. Don't ignore, rant, or scold them. Talk to them when they are comfortable and ready. I would recommend this book and Kudos to the Author.

Inside my Hand bag.
Hello Friends
Welcome to my blog....
Today I am going to reveal the secret. yeah I am going to show you whats in my Hand bag???
OK first let me you my Hand bag, which is a red Colour Butterfly handbag. Actually it is a gift from my sister. I never purchase handbags and cosmetics. because my sister always purchases those products for me before it get worn out.
So this is my Beautiful bag. I am using this bag for the past two years it is still good and i hope it will last till this year end.
Then, inside my handbag in one side of my first compartment there are two pockets. In one pocket i keep my mobile and in the other i will keep my ID card, head set and small plastic box which contains a pen drive, OTG and a bluetooth ear phone. My hubby gave me this bluetooth ear phone and OTG. The bat shaped Pen drive is a gift from Blogger for an article some time back. This beautiful key chain with key of my office drawer is kinderjoy toy gifted by the little ones. This is so special to me.
Coming to the first compartment, there will be a scribbling pad and a purse. Scribbling pad I use to write anything & everything that comes into my mind. my passport size photo and few cards. Its neither debit nor credit cards its only just Business cards that some one gives me. I dont carry money in my purse as my hubby drops me and picks me from office. so very rarely i will have money in my purse otherwise it will be there for naam ke vaasthu.
In my second compartment. Coolers will be there to protect my eyes from scorching sun as i travel in bike with my hubby. My mom & hubby keeps a small dry fruits box to keep me energetic with so much of love and care as I skip my breakfast frequently. But I forget to eat that also. That is a different story.then a small container of pain balm. then a small pouch of cosmetics which has few make up products like nivea lip moisturizer with strawberry flavour. lakme compact powder, Elle 18 eye liner, bindi and kumkum container and a comb.
A sanitary napkin in the middle zip for safety purpose.
Pen will be there in the front zip.
These are the things that i carry in my bag.

Hello Everyone...
This is Prabhavathi as you all know...
Today I am going to Review book named Silver Hair Sins by Saumick Pal.
This Book was sent to me by the Author . I received this book on a fine sunday morning through Amazon and i read this book in a single go as it has just 166 pages.The language is simple and easy to read & understand.
Oh my God, I forget to tell you the unique feature of this book. Silver Hair Sins is one of India’s first visual-fiction, with more than half of the thriller narrated by cinematized photographs. The story is crisp without any boring,lenghty and unwanted explainations.
the story has been set in future towards the end of 21st century. During that time, the religion and political divide has reached its peak, and technology steps in to save humanity. all the religions are emrged to create ‘One God AI’ (Artificial Intelligence)
The story revolves around Akbar, Meera, Azad, Aasma and Mary. What do they go through with the silver chip infused in their bodies. which had all the details stored which included the criminal activities of the citizen. The evolution of human life and how it gets integrated into technology in the future has been portrayed in this novel.
Kudos to the author for bringing up the fresh content which takes the curiosity to next. I would definitely recommend this perfect weekend read and 4 stars out of five....

Clothes folding in seconds
Gudiya rani
bring the clothes from the terrace ma. She refused to do the work as she had
severe legs due to March practising so she asked her brother to do instead. He
too refused and the quarrell begin
between them.
Somehow i had
convinced them and requested the little
boy to bring down the clothes as the sun is setting down and we should not let
the clothes till dusk. so he brought the clothes. then i asked him to fold the
clothes watching tv. i also added that i will hot samosas while he folds the
clothes. he agreed saying that not to give any samosa as she didn't do any
work.
In my
childhood, i used to help my mom with all this house while my brother used to
play outside with friends either Goli(marbles) or top. By the time it is a
routine work in our childhood. early morning starts with cooking of breakfast,
then washing clothes and drying them. cleaning the vessels and again cooking
for lunch. Preparation of lunch is not an easy task those days. Masalas and chutneys
has to ground by hand using the old aged stones.
Now due to
development in technology, Mixer Grinder, juicer, blender, Wet grinder, Washing
machine has been came into use to ease the work of the women toiling themselves
in kitchen. Technology has changed the grinding and washing machines but the
task remained same for women. when comes to household chores, everyone thinks it’s
a women’s task???? I don't know who nurtured this strategy.
women are
equally working like men and lending their hand to support financially. so Men
should also so-operate women and help her at home. to bring this change, we
have to start teaching our little ones since from their childhood.
So my lovely
chellakutty is readily available at all times to me. Clothes folding is not an easy
task when comes to fold the seven yards saree of mom & Granny, the lengthy
dhothi of Grandpa and the heavy big blankets and bed covers. Other than these
clothes folding is ok ok task. Generally I love to fold small clothes in my
childhood to help my mom.
Now the little
boy is doing the same along with his sister. He brings all the sun dried
clothes from the terrace as I or my mom can't climb the stairs of two floors.
He simply run through the stairs and picks all the clothes sometimes along with
the clips that we kept on the clothes from flying away. So here is video of
cloth folding of my little darling.
Now he had
learnt to fold the clothes as well along with other household chores. He will
always be there to lend hand to me. When I reach the home by cab he immediately
runs to the door and helps me to climb down the cab to the wheelchair.
He is such a
sweetheart. Here is the short video of my darling folding clothes in seconds.
