We repeat failures but there is always an extra bit of learning.

Don’t dwell to the loss, see what can be done now. If not now, then when !

Every time you start something new , start it with your favourite part. That motivates and helps to get a positive vibe within ourself.

My most favourite part is Sleeping and then waking up and feeling the fresh breeze.

Since this time of the year favours it, I love to go to bed early, for a long sleep and wake up to morning breeze.

Good Morning !

Isn’t it time to re-work on health ?
Challenging 1 more time !

From almost 70 kgs to 63 kgs😃😄🤗

Highlights:
Improved my stamina and energy level
Toned my body shape
Dedication towards workout

Love for nature and walk

All these 100 days are going to be part of a wonderful memory. This has definitely improved my confidence and knowledge on what to eat and what not to.

People have sent me so much positivity and good words and love to make me feel flying. Thank you to all those lovely people.

With all the big smile, i am closing this 100 days of challenge and will continue putting some efforts to spread the necessity of workouts/exercises. Looking forward to bring changes in all our lives.

Day 72, Jan-13-2021

!!!!!!BOGI DAY!!!!!!!!!

To begin with, Happy bogi to all !!

The buses queued in the depot gave me the festival feel. I was remembering my college days when i used to rush home , after the college. Infact, i was recollecting whole childhood pongal holidays. I still remember celebrating the festival in our native with my whole father side relatives. A lovely small village where everyone were like family.

As far as my assumption, i believe 90's kids were the last generation to enjoy the pongal festival as such. The traditions got modernized these days. And, i am very conservative person when it comes to religious festivals. So, i try my best to be on the ground to celebrate it with the roots.

And, morning around 6 AM , me and my cousin burned few grabage to celebrate bogi. It sparked me my dad's line "பழையன கழிதல், புதியன புகுதல் தான் போகி". It was always me and my dad who used to burn all the wastes in the early morning. And, he always mentions this line on the bogi festival.

"Once in a year go to a place you have never been before!!"

Day 2 , we went to courtallam via tenkasi but as we started late and the roads were not proper, we couldn't reach on time to the temple. So, we continued to courtallam main falls and we were the 1st batch to enjoy the shower, after the lockdown. The water was freezing cool and couldn't enjoy for long time. However, time flied like anything. We ate hot chilly bajjis and urad vada. The place is so clean and neatly maintained paid toilets. Again, there were no proper hotels for lunch, nearby to main falls. Not sure, if it was because of lockdown effect.

Then, we visited Kuttraleeswarar temple and did shopping chips and toys on the streets.

Started back to virudhunagar and on the way, when we crossed srivilliputhur, we got some palkova for family and friends.

Then finally reached back virudhunagar to prabhu's home and had dinner with the family there and they dropped us back in station and started from their again at 9.30 PM and reached back tambaram next day at 5.30 AM.

Overall expense was 4000 rupees which includes ticket, petrol fare, food, shopping.

Day 47, Dec-19-2020

"Travelling in the company of whom we love is home in motion"

This trip is another amazing trip in my life!! Importantly, it was just me, my husband, my son. So, that itself is more close to my heart and emotional.

We started from Tambaram Chennai at 9.15 PM in podhigai express and reached virudhunagar next day early morning at 5.35 AM. Due to corona issues, first thing in mind was safe travel. So, made the plan by car and took our close friend prabhu's car from virudhunagar.

We covered up below places on day 1,
Veerabandiya kattabomman memorial fort
Tiruchendur subramaniya swamy temple
Chepparai natarajar temple, tirunelveli
Nellaiappar swamy temple, tirunelveli

We checked-in in hotel around 4 PM and on the way we got to look at palayamkottai jail.

Hotel Palmyra Grand Suite followed all the hygiene measures and the stay was safe enough.

The distance to travel was too high so covering so many areas werent possible. But, the places which we covered were what we loved and had that craze to visit. We spent almost 6000 totally on day 1 which includes ticket, food, stay , shopping.

For people who read Ponniyin Selvan book , it will be like a rewind when we see the names of the locality.

Pros:
*Entire tirunelveli has direction boards and no need for google map itself for navigation
*Food quality is so delicious
*Worth to visit the whole place
*People are so friendly and their tamizh is so good
*City is a combination of village, town and corporation
*Surrounded by farm lands , green scenic landscape

Cons:
*Roads were little rough and NH is laid inbetween the local areas , so driving was very tough
*And no hotels on highway and it was very hard to find one
*It will take 2 to 3 days to cover up tirunelveli alone , as there are so many many places to visit and a 1 day plan wont workout.
