Homecoming ~ Choolaimedu

Choolaimedu isn’t just a place on the map for me, it is where my roots quietly grew into who I am today.

 From the carefree lanes of childhood to the grounded lessons of adulthood, this neighborhood has shaped my values, my faith, and my sense of belonging. 

At the heart of it all stands Shri Prasanna Venkatesa Swami Temple, a space of calm, prayer, and countless unspoken conversations with the divine. Even though life has taken me far away now, every memory pulls me back here to familiar streets, familiar faces, and a faith that never faded with distance. 

Sharing the link below for anyone who would like to experience the calm, devotion, and timeless beauty of Shri Prasanna Venkatesa Swami Temple. A small, special moment between the 7th and 9th minute of this video, you will  also spot my parents 😇

Choolaimedu will always be my HOME — not because I lived there, but because it lives within me.

And today, as my children make their own memories here during our vacation visits, I know that even if it’s just once a year, this place will quietly become their version of HOME too 💗

To the world, it may have been an ordinary outing. To me, it was magic. Every Saturday, Amma would get me a simple new dress. Not designer outfits, but just enough to make me feel special. I would proudly wear it wherever Appa took me, from swimming class to the movies. Since she worked on Saturdays, those afternoons quietly became our special “Appa and ME” time. Back then (even now for many), Sathyam Cinemas was not just a theatre in Chennai . It was an experience. It felt grand, almost intimidati...

This is Where I Found Myself

  Motherhood, I have realized, is a lifelong game of losing and finding. You lose sleep… and find strength. You lose control… and find surrender. You lose the woman you once were… and somewhere between spilled milk and tiny fingerprints on the clean walls, you find a newer version of yourself waiting quietly. I learned this most painfully and most beautifully on an ordinary afternoon with my twins - Saket and Smriti. They were around one-and-a-half years old then with unstable feet, endless curiosity and a suspicious talent for making household objects disappear. Honestly, I don’t know why I spent money on toys. Because nothing fascinated them more than my kitchen vessels. Steel tumblers were drums. Lids were frisbees. And my chapati rolling pin? Apparently a national treasure that needed to be hidden daily. That afternoon, my neighbour rang the bell asking if she could borrow the rolling pin. I walked confidently into the kitchen pretending I was a woman who definitely knew where ...
