    FB_IMG_1717817011835.jpg Since last December after my hip bone fracture I am not able to go to temple and pluck flowers. No strength to dress the Devis.
    Miss that life. God has a reason for
    I am very happy and thankful to.God to bring me to.God's own country Kerala In my last days

    There is so much greenery here. My daughter's house us surrounded by trees. Thanks to her and her husband who is also my husband's nephew who taje care if ne very well

    Early morning you can hear the birds chirping
    After doing alankaram to the God's I go to Devi temple. First pluck.flowers in a Muslim house.then go to temple and then to.two more houses to pluck fliwers. One day if I don't go they ask me. In one house when it is very hot she gives me lime juices three glasses. If I tell her one glass is enough she will tell me you will get some energy. She also helps in plucking flowers. When I feel tired I rest in her.house for sometime.

    Early morning you can see some ladies coming with Keral mundu and with.chandanam in their forehead

    After coming back I arrange flowers for God's and if the flowers are more make garlands .
    Some days do archana. Nice to spend 4 hrs with.God in the mornings it's so peaceful

    Evening I go to Lord Krishn temple.

    Hi kudos to your narration of morning routine and the image of one group of decked deities that you sincerely worship akin to a regimen.
    Your routine of going around amid greeneries to buildings in the neighbourhood
    and the residents there cordial and help you pluck flowers from their garden reminds me of my late mother in her eighties . Entire neighbourhood was friendly with her that helped her to enjoy huge friends circle and useful exchange of information.
    On any particular day if she had not gone around, there would be a battery of her friends would visit our dwelling to enquire about her wellness.
    My mom used to carry flowers from our garden and distribute to pious friends who do regular pooja at their residence.
    All your practices and hobby must be very helpful not only to keep your body and mind strong and healthy but also energetic and cheer others.

    God Bless us All.

    Dear Vijiakka,

    I am happy to hear your daily routine and how much you are enjoying the nature in Kerala. I stayed in Thiruvanandapuram twice each time for a year to work, once for Keltron and another time for Center for Development of Advanced Computing. I used to enjoy the train ride from Chennai to Thiruvanandapuram especially from Kochi to Thiruvanandapuram. The environment is so clean in Kerala. People are extraordinarily nice and extremely traditional but well educated.

    It is so nice to see how each resident develop their garden with coconut trees and so many other flower plants and trees. It rains a lot which helps maintain the gardens well. It is interesting how a traditional village like setting in Thiruvanandapuram established Vikram Sarabhai Space Center. I never heard of water shortage anywhere in Kerala. No wonder it is called "God's own country.

    With respect to your routine, you have done enough of work in Mumbai both for the family and for your employer. It is time to relax and enjoy every moment of your life. Take it easy and enjoy your lovely life with your daughter's family.

    Sorry to note your outdoor activities restricted.
    Take care not to bend or stoop forward to pick up things accidentally dropped from your butter fingers on the floor. Dont even try to pick up such things with your foot or toes.
    God Bless

    Thanks for your concern. I can't bend and pick up. So I don't try.
