Rohan's Ezhuthiniruttu @ MOOKAMBIKA TEMPLE, Karnataka, India ( 2010 )


Rohan's Ezhuthiniruttu function at MOOKAMBIKA Temple, Karnataka 




How can I miss sharing this story in this Blog? 
I believe that the reason behind Rohan's achievments is in this story!!!

It was my dream to have Rohan write his first letters in front of MOOKAMBIKA DEVI.
Earlier I have heard a lot about this famous Temple and the Powerful GODDESS there. I don't remember visiting there. I have heard lots of stories of people and their experience going there. It was said that we could visit the TEMPLE only if Devi (GODDESS) calls us to. 
           
Being so much fascinated by the stories of the TEMPLE, I had this wish in my mind "I wish I could make Rohan do his First writing there " 
According to Hindus, the first time the child writes is very important, it's either done in the TEMPLE or at home in a good muhoortham (good time), that too first letters are written on top of grains of rice.
           
I seriously wished if Rohan would be lucky enough to having the blessing from Devi. But unexpectedly we had to relocate from Bangalore to Chennai at that point of time. Though I had this wish buried deep in my heart, I knew it was impossible as we had no time, money or train tickets booked in the last moment. It was then that MOKKAMBIKA GODDESS made the miracle happen. 
           
Just before 2 weeks of our shifting to Chennai, we had visited our cousin's house in Bangalore. His name is Unnikrishnan, we call him Ani chettan (chettan means elder Brother with respect). He had a lovely wife and a sweet daughter. Unexpectedly, the topic came between the conversations that I had with his wife- Neelu Chechi (Chechi means big sis with respect). She had asked me where am I going to make Rohan have his first writing function, she asked me why don't we make it in Mookambika Temple. I told her that I would love to, but that last moment it was impossible.
                
She asked, "Why don't all of us go together?" I was surprised, shocked, emotional and trilled. I couldn't believe my ears. ‘Is it the Goddess making her say this?’ I wondered!!!
                 
I asked her, " Chechi, Are you serious?" She said, "Yes, We can go together in our car before you guys shift to Chennai."
                 
Soon she told chettan and he confirmed that we would all go together the very next week, just a 2 days trip. That family had arranged the trip and accommodation. 
                  
Finally one of my greatest wish came true...I felt that Rohan was blessed to have this auspicious moment in front of Mookambika Devi. I am Thankful to Goddess and the family who made this miracle happen!!!

Rohan's Swim lessons @ Chartwell Swim Club, Summer 2016





It was from long I wanted to send Rohan for swim lessons. 
I wanted him to learn the basic swimming. 
My aim was that he shouldn't have the fear of water 
And he should know what to do if ever he happened to be in water.
Finally this summer, with GOD's Grace that wish of mine is fulfilled. 
We had been here through out his summer vacation and 
We had no continuous guests at home,
 So I was able to send him for his swim lessons at Chartwell. 
I used to catch an uber and take him for all the classes, 
And wait there until he is done. 
Luckily he got a very sweet instructor. 
She was a sweet college going teenager who used to take swim lessons only for vacations.
The private classes were just for 20 minutes and for 6 days. That was one session. 
I was glad that Rohan picked it up really fast and he liked swimming. 
She was such a sweet teacher who gave Rohan to practice for long in the pool even after the 20 minute class which normally never happens there.

Lego Bricks for Kids Club - Energy is Everywhere theme

Rohan had been for the After school Clubs ( in his 2nd grade) during the Spring. 
One was the Bricks for kids Lego club and the theme was - Energy is Everywhere !
They had taught the various terms like renewable and non-renewable resources and the different a ways in which energy is produced. And everyday they were asked to create some figure related to the theme using small Lego blocks.
The other club was Jr. Aerospace Engineering Club. 
They learnt the different parts of aeroplane and other flying objects. 
Also, they were taught about how the airplane works. 
They were asked to make models of aeroplane a, parachutes, blimps etc based on these principles. 
It was a 2 months session, once a week for an hour. 
I am glad that Rohan was very interested and very happy to attend the sessions. 

And finally a certificate for successfully completing the classes. : )
