The coolest street in Madras.

I am again contemplating a move. My current location, though only 6 KMs from my office is still far away for the parents of my students.

When my office was functioning from my residence, parents found me easily accessible to to talk to me about the performance of their children. Now, because of the distance, they have complained to me that they are not able to meet me in person as and when they want to.

There is a sense of truth in it. So, I have decided to move to my old locality. Yesterday, I inspected two flats and I liked one of them. It is a large house located in a shady street where I wanted to live.

Now, I can see my dream a reality at last. The price is definitely beyond my means. However, I trust God will show me a way as he only showed me that house as if he to ask me, "Is this where you wanted to live"?

It is the coolest street that I have seen in Madras.

Women's day? Whom you are deceiving?

We the women who build families have no respite from taking care of our family. First comes our immediate family, then comes our in-laws' family and then the family of our children...oh, it goes on and on.

During this lengthy period we learn extremely valuable information of various ailments that affect our family. We come to know about effective home remedies and we begin to learn the language of the cries of the baby.

If only we blog about what we have learnt, won't our life experience have a meaning?

I admire this woman Trish Ryan, who has done exactly that-built a blog based on her motherly life.

Fascinating silver ingots.

My original plan to buy silver bullion (a 10 oz silver bar) was shelved as I waited for the U.S. Mint’s new 5-ounce silver coins as part of the America’s Beautiful Quarters Program. These coins were expected to hit the bullion market in June 2010.

As I could not find a dealer for the new 5 oz silver coin, I have now decided to order the 10 oz silver bar from the U.S. Gold Bureau who has been screaming for attention of precious metals investors through their press release that strongly encouraged us to invest in silver bullion.

Silver bars also known as silver ingots are pure bullion cast in a convenient size and shape. I have so far converted all my silver coins into ingots to facilitate easy storage.

The U.S. Government has been a silver buyer since the demand for this precious metal has steadily increased since 1990.

Don’t you think it is advisable to follow them?
