Beeps In The Mind

I have been conscious about my life choices nowadays, the personal care products, dresses, and food products I use & how I handle their disposal after the usage. I try to stick on to healthier food options too. I am not very strict about buying from sustainable fashion brands that comes with ethical labels. One of the reasons is that these days, ethical brands have become more expensive than ever before! Sustainability should not mean expensive right? If so everyone won't be able to embrace a sustainable lifestyle. I have done my research and have found out a few affordable ones too. But what I always try to do is to make mindful decisions, trying to know about the product, what goes into it, etc. I make use of the things, which I already own, to the best to ease my sustainable journey. I was brought up amidst the lush greens, away from the hustle and bustle and pollution. There exists a nature-friendly place in Kozhikode where my home is located. The houses there are not very

    I can remember some moments from my childhood and something I cannot. Like any other person, I always have some memories that stick to my mind, the way I learned alphabets, the stories I listened to as a child, the rhymes I learned and my parents recorded them and playing those to me, my childhood friends and many more. Like you I too have learned so many things as a child and and all along my life. Now after becoming a mother, I actually wonder if I have studied any of these that my child is learning. The way he is learning is different, the kind of books are different too. It is fun! And like him, I am also able to enjoy all of these. What I like the most is reading him books. I never knew that there exists many wonderful books for babies and kids, until my baby came to my life! I got to read many new children's books and authors. They all have wonderful illustrations too unlike the books meant for adults. I feel like a child again when I got through them and to my surprise,

The first time you do something, it is always exciting right? I had never waited for a movie before, not even Bahubali 2! 🙂Yes, I like Bahubali.  It was the first time I was watching a movie, the first day, the first show! And someone captured by feedback too! Can you see me in the thumbnail? Also this is the first time I am blogging a  malayalam movie review. Ya, I posted about it last time also, the movie Etham ! I have been getting information about various aspects of the movie for about three years. And finally the wait is over and the movie is in cinemas! Nowadays I am not that active on my blog, not because I don't have time writing, but wanted something I felt like sharing. Etham , the movie is special for me so thought of sharing my review .  Lot of things happened when I was away from Beeps in the Mind- lot of thoughts, lot of reading not that much of a writing though. My favorite blog sharing platform, Indiblogger also changed a lot and recently did I know about this.  R

Etham is the malayalam movie released in November 2022. Here is my review about Etham!    What is this malayalam movie about?    Etham is an engaging movie that takes you through the life of an artist, Pradeep, and a dancer, Anita who meet each other at an arts college. The movie's story is campus love set in the 90s which slowly paces to a crime thriller. All the characters were portrayed well especially, artist JR Bose by Prakash Bare, Sadananthan, the doctor, Mahesh, and everyone. What I liked most in Etham are the characters of a charming Anita and the exceptionally talented and sweet Pradeep. The charismatic next-door girl, Sravana TN, and the always-smiling Sidharth Rajan were apt for the roles.     The movie highlights:   Etham has some eventful glimpses of festivals, art forms, drama, songs, poems, and sculpture. The cinematography gives the film an artistic tone as if in a painting with subtle shades. The music and lyrics were also good. The excellent direction gives th

Writing is an extreme privilege but it's also a gift. It's a gift to yourself and it's a gift of giving a story to someone. --Amy Tan Credits:Pixabay What do you usually like to have a as gift from your dear one? Or what do you like to gift your dear ones? Don't you like something which flows from their heart to yours? What can be so special and lovable than a hand made or written piece of a creative from them! I usually like to gift a special piece of writing! I believe that the receiver would be able to experience the love, the time and the effort that is contained in that small present. I have a friend, actually a childhood friend of mine who is great at art. She used to gift me a greeting card or a drawing which was handcrafted by her. I still have those with me and those memories. Unfortunately, I have lost contact with her in the hustle and bustle of life but able to find her again through social media sometime back. When I go through t

I asked myself, Why I am I born, My self replied; You are born to write, And to write again! The only craft I do is to write, What else can be my life about?  

I don’t know why I like these kinds of dishes, nowadays more than it being an obligation. There was a time in my life when I hated eating raw vegetables and some other time when I had put away my taste buds from meat and became a pescetarian. And now see where I am! No, I am neither veg or non-veg! Wait! I have been away from my blog for big 8 months. Now I am back to wish you all a very happy and prosperous New Year! Happy New Year, my dear friends! Sorry, my last post also about New Year! Last time it was a banyan tree right? :) Let me share here one of my favorite dishes from my favorite restaurant on this New Year! I will share stories later! Have you taken any new year resolution? If yes, do share it here,I am eager to know. Love!!! “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” ― Hippocrates

I was away from my blog for long four months and I finally did break the silence on 27th April! Each day I was postponing to write and even if I wrote I was reluctant to post. I was fully occupied by thoughts and missed sharing my stories. And finally I am here and need to be hooked here for the coming days. I don't want to be anymore away from blogging! Yesterday when I saw a banyan tree, I thought of sharing this post.  Unlike my past New Year celebrations which was normally celebrated with my family or colleagues, this New Year started from near a banyan tree in Kochi, far away from my home town, with some new acquaintances. I can't say it was great but as I said it was way too different; the people, the attitude, the mystery, the odd feeling,  the sea, the crowd and everything. Though I was trying to create smile on my face, I was going through pain and dilemma. I didn't know what to do but I was not ready to lose. I fought not only with my emotions but with

“Half “is not a word to define love coz love is something which blooms out full. We can feel it when it happens. But what made him my half boyfriend is the journey which we started together but stopped half way. When we had only half way to go, something happened all of a sudden from nowhere, which changed our fate and ended that relationship.  It was like standing at the beach, so relaxed, when I was with him over the phone on the other side; I talked and talked until I uttered even the last word I wanted to tell him. And then I felt great when he listened and understood completely what I shared. When did I meet him? I don’t remember the exact date and time but yes, it was during one of the Onam celebrations during a time when I was busy with my studies. I don’t know what made me feel so good about him but I could feel the freshness of dawn in him, whenever we met.  Time just flew by and we were more than friends, so comfortable with each other. Since he had seniori

"Whenever I think of the past, it brings back so many memories." --Steven Wright True that!  When I happened to browse through the collection of photos of my office tour that took place a couple of years back, I could feel that nostalgic smile on my face! Recollecting the incidents made me laugh though I am far away from the people, place and time! And time has changed us all; we are in no way the same people anymore, belonging to different worlds! Good changes! :)  Memory beeps

A normal human mind wishes for so many things in life and craves for them to get fulfilled. Stating here my three wishes in the most lucid manner that I can. This post is a part of Write Over the Weekend , an initiative for Indian Bloggers by BlogAdda.                             My first wish is to love myself without doubt,Second is to love the love I receive,                                                    And the third is to be the love of all my loves.

It has become my very nature, To smile and end up in laughter, When the sun is up and smiling. But while the moon is up and waiting, Wanting not to enter the little sky in my eyes, I frown and sob in the dark.

It’s been sometime since I made an update. I was thinking of posting something all these time but was too busy and exhausted to concentrate.  The biggest news I want to share with you is about the most discussed topic here; my wedding. Hope you guessed! :). Yes,  I got married. It was just few days before Onam, that my relationship status changed from single to married. I finally met the one I searched for* , pulling aside everything that got in between us!  Wedding Roses               But my journey was not that easy; becoming a bride and accepting that fact was a little difficult for me. Above all I strove to prepare myself to give up the little luxury that I had; the princess status that I have been enjoying all these years at home and I know I would miss that every day.  But yes, I enjoyed the fun side too in being a bride; that special onetime experience in life.  Life flows and flows and now the challenge is to  resolve those inner conflicts, the new phase

At Chombala harbour "A fairy went a-marketing, She bought a little fish...". Do you remember this poem? :) I went to buy fishes too! It was my first time visit to Chombala fishing harbor, Kozhikode District, though it's somewhat near to my home town. The harbor is located between Vadakara and Mahe. Being a pescetarian, I was delighted to watch how the freshly caught seafood is treated. When I reached there, the spot was already crowded. A lot of people were waiting for the trawlers to arrive and unload their fish and the fishermen were in high spirits to show off their catch of the day. People waiting Mackerels, Mackerels everywhere! It was a day of Mackerels though many other fishes were found in the harbor market. I could see fishermen lifting  carts full of fishes and transferring it to ice boxes to send it to the market outside from where it is delivered to hundreds of people everyday . It's actually very cheap to buy fishes from

Sometimes I can feel how happiness grows, From the heart to the eyes, And how it blossoms as smiles, Giving out even more happiness. 

I have been busy all these days though I took a break from my work life. But I missed this space and my folks here, who keep visiting tirelessly since I couldn't concentrate on any of the things coz of my nervous and wandering mind. And then I wanted to distract my mind and keep all the thoughts and worries at bay. As usual I needed getting buried in a book and follow the life of those characters. And for now, I want a simple and sweet story that can keep me hooked. Hope  The DEViant would   serve the purpose. It's the debut novel by Shankar S. Padmanaban which starts from the climax of the story. I easily got obsessed with finding out the previous happenings that led to the climax. Now I am half way through the book. Let's see how it goes! I would be soon posting a review. :) Stay tuned! Image Source: Pixabay

And finally, I am prepared to move. This place belonged to me once! Four years before, like a fish in a new pond, I struggled to breathe when I joined here though I strived and survived later. The beauty and comfort here had once stopped me from going. As I had told before there’s some kismet connection between us. But I can’t make excuses, karma is calling, though I find it hard to say goodbye.  I smiled, I laughed, I disagreed, I screamed, I fought, I hugged and I stood for what I believed in and now, a farewell.  But the worst thing is missing the people here!

The day has finally come, To take off the monotony,  From her smileless face, To burst into laughter!

I saw silver slivers of the moon, Falling on your face, On that bright and cheery night. I was confused; To listen and nod at you,  Or to stare at the glimmering stars in your eyes! If you liked this poem please do spread by sharing!

Yesterday was just another day;I saw myself busy collecting, All those shattered being of mine, And acting even busier,Uniting and befriending with myself again, Still denying not a chance to repeat the process. If you liked this poem please do spread by sharing!
