ಮೋಕ್ಷಕ್ಕೆ ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥನೆ

 ನಿನ್ನೆ ವೈಕುಂಠ ಏಕಾದಶಿ ದಿನದಂದು ನಮ್ಮ ಶ್ರೀಕಾಂತ್ ಗೋಸ್ಕರ ಗೋಕರ್ಣದಲ್ಲಿ ಪೂಜೆ ಮಾಡಿದೆವು. ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರೋಕ್ತವಾಗಿ ನನಗೆ ಸಮಾಧಾನವೆನಿಸುವಂತೆ ಕಾರ್ಯಗಳು  ನಡೆದವು. 🙏🙏

ಶ್ರೀಕಾಂತ್ ನೋಡಿ 'ಏನೇ ಇದು ನಿನ್ಕತೆ ಅಂತಿದ್ದರೇನೋ 🤔🤔

                                 ಕೋಟಿ ತೀರ್ಥ





ಗೋಕರ್ಣ ದೇವಸ್ಥಾನದ  ಬಳಿ ವಾಕ್ ಹೋದಾಗ... ನನ್ನ tattoo ಹೋಗಳಿದ್ದಕ್ಕೆ, ಮೂರು ವರ್ಷದ ಹಿಂದೆ ಶ್ರೀಕಾಂತ್ ಕೂಡ tattoo ಹಾಕಿಸಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು, 'ಯಾರೂ ನನ್ನ tattoo ನೋಡಿ, ಏನೂ ಹೇಳಿಲ್ಲ' ಅಂತ ಮುನಿಸಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದು, ನಾವು ನಕ್ಕಿದ್ದು, ನೆನಪಾಯ್ತು...

ಇನ್ನು ಕೇವಲ ನೆನಪು ಮಾತ್ರ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದಾಯಿತು...

ವಾರ ಕಳೆಯಿತು

 It's been a week. I wake up at all times of the night and cry silently. I walk around sobbing. 

I rue the day you were admitted to Aster RV.. may be you would have been with us for a little while longer???!!

Many moods of srikanth

GOOD BYE Shenoy maam

 Cannot fathom the injustice of it all. Did not expect this. HE WAS SO HOPEFUL OF RECOVERING. GOOD BYE SRIKANTH


I  lost Srikanth, on December 20th at 10:42 am. We were on our way to the ICU when we received an urgent call to rush up. He had suffered a cardiac arrest. I'm grateful I visited him early that morning; it was our last conversation.


Navigating hospital protocols was a daily struggle – I fought with security ,each time, to see him, reassuring him I'd stay nearby despite restrictions. The doctor advised keeping his spirits up, but lapses in communication made visits challenging.


In his final moments, he whispered 'loafers, stupid love story, I want efficient doctors,' mentioned 'Datu' ದಾಟು by S.L. Bhyrappa, and numbers 106-110. The last two days, he didn't respond. A urinary infection led to kidney failure, despite heavy antibiotics and dialysis.


He lived by his ideals; I wish him peace. I hope for an afterlife where he finds ssolace.As per his wishes, we donated his body to science. Though aspirations remain unfinished, I hope he rests in peace. Go in peace, Shenoy maam

The Golden Lotus


"As a Mumbaikar, I have a soft spot for Pav Wada Pav, Pav Bhaji, sabudana khichdi/vada, poha items, and Ragda Pattis. I used to relish Ragda Pattis from a lady who sold them on a small stool, on my way to home from school. Though they weren't  hot, they were incredibly tasty. I would often save my bus money to sometimes indulge in this treat.

Also anyone who reads my blog knows how much i hate cooking...🤫

Today, I received a message from The Golden Lotus, a 'food corner' in our apartment complex, run by young residents, asking if I'd like to order Ragda Pattis. I was overjoyed and immediately replied yes. As a busy caregiver, I sometimes like to take a break from kitchen , and The Golden Lotus has always delivered. they prepare food fresh and deliver it piping hot.

When my brother-in-law visited from the US to meet Srikanth, i cooked a simple lunch -  he craved home cooked meal, for he was eating out from quite a long time, , and for snacks,I wasn't up for cooking Sabudana Vada, as was promised. Instead i ordered samosas from Golden Lotus, and they arrived just as my chai was ready.....hot chai,  garma garam samosas and gupshup ,..making for a lovely evening."


my brother in law likes the filter coffee i prepare my daughters call it "world famous in bengaluru' coffee)👇👇 akka baked an early christmas cake for him..for he leaves for the US soon ❤️👍
