Acoustic cover - "Kadhal Sadugudu" - Sathya Mani

Happy New Year, everyone. Belated.
I am back. My very first post for 2013. 
Down with a frail flu, and thus, tucked away in the precincts of my room. 
I was supposed to do so many stuff today. 
Go for that awesome comedy everyone is raving about, titled - "Kanna Laddu Thinna Aasaiya?". 
A brisk walking session with my sister, at the joggers park, which is a 10 minutes drive from home sweet home. You see, I am lousy sportsperson. And, all this hype is only due to the fact that I bought my very first pair of sport shoes. 
A drop by to my regular tailor. He sent me a sms, this morning, reminding me that my saree blouses are ready. 
And, I have not done any of the above mentioned. All I did was rest, on my bed. And, after months - I had a long afternoon catnap.
Saw a poster on these 10 things on tumblr. Found it drawing. And, here I am today, with my version of answers. 
10 different things I want to say to 10 different people right now.
- to Appa, I miss you and continue to love you, every single second.
- to Amma, thanks for standing by me, throughout all these years. Love you, too, but, for me, Appa is STILL number one.
- to Akka, how can I live this life without you ? My ally, my critic - my best girl friend. The one who knows me inside out.
- to Mogan, thanks. I truly do not what else to say.
- to a friend named Sivaram Mayilnanthan, who lives faraway, in my favourite Chennai city, this is a toast to you and an optimistic 2013 that you have promised yourself. Life is never easy. It is up to us to make the best of it.
- to my great girl friends - Jo, Sue, Vino, Rani & Nits, looking forward to our reunion.
- to Mr.MK @ Mu. Karunanidhi - I love Chennai and the rest of Tamil Nadu. Please find me a way to get stationed there. You can make it possible, right ?
- to Shakthisree Gopalan - the singer of that awesome, spellbinding, "Nenjukulle" song. You rock. As in R-O-C-K !!!!!
- to me, myself & I - do not worry over the awful days, rejoice over the wonderful ones.
- to all those racist out there, "Listen, listen, listen - good etiquette is far superior than discrimination....."
9 things about myself.
- I love girlie stuff. Cooking, cleaning, sewing, fashion mags, recipe blogs. 
- I do not bring my mobile phone everywhere. I am NOT dependent on it. 
- My favourite sound is that of the flapping waves, in the midst of dead silence.
- I listen to ARR's "Moongil Thottam" song more than 20 times in a day - for now.
- I LOVE the traditional Indian churidhar & the saree. My all time favourite attire.
- Alaipayuthey is my favourite movie. STILL.
- I bought a book titled, "The Strength of the Sun" by Catherine Chidgey but have yet to find the impulse to read it. Soon, hopefully.
- My favourite colour is yellow. So, is Lord Tirupathi's. 
- I enjoy eating wholemeal bread stuffed with vanilla ice cream and a dash of Hershey's chocolate syrup.
8 ways to win my heart.
- Through my family.
- Waking me up with a romantic, deep throaty, "Good Morning, Sweetheart..."
- Sweet surprises. The little ones. 
- Asking me out on date - to the temple. This is an ultimatum.
- Holding my hands when I least expect it.
- A wink at me, in a sea of crowd. That should make my heart somersault.

- An evening over coffee and great conversation.
7 things that cross my mind a lot.
