Branka these days I am getting scared of being happy within, but putting up brave face. Don't know from few years i.e from the time Seetha left us I am hearing bad news of my loved one's. First Seetha, then Prat's and now my father. Praying for my father to get well completely. Though I am putting all my efforts to keep him happy and peace.

You know my father is not bed ridden neither he had been into any hospital through out his life for himself, this time he is also scared.

Branka it is natural that daughters are attached to their father, but my father is exceptional. He brought me and my syster like a mother. He did all those things which a mother does. My mother is there but my father participated more actively.

Thank you for your warm words🤗

Do not worry, Padma, your father will get well soon🤗

Good Morning all😃

Happy Raksha Bandhan to all who celebrate, also today is Jandhyala Purnima. Here is below what is this festival about:

Jandhyala Pournami or Upakarma

A full moon day also known as Pournami. The Pournami comes in Sravana Masam (Usually in August) is celebrated as Jandhyala Pournami in Andhra Pradesh. This day is also called as 'Upakarma' and is considered a very important day for the Brahmin society. On this day, Brahmins change the sacred thread, called the yagnopavitam while chanting mantras. This change signifies atonement for sins done in the past. Putting on a new thread signifies a promise made to self today for a better conduct in the future. The main ritual of the day is 'Upakarma', which is also referred to as Shravani. It is believed that Lord Hayagriva, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, brought back the Vedas, which were stolen by demons, to Lord Brahma. This day is celebrated as RAKHI PURNIMA in other parts of Northern and Western India.

On this day, Brahmins after a holy dip change the sacred thread and wear a new holy thread. This ritual is known as Upakarma, which means beginning. The ritual also symbolizes the permission to study the Vedas.

On the day of 'Upakarma', every devotee puts on a new Yagnopavitam after following a prescribed sacred procedure. Yagnopavitam has three threads, each consisting of three strands.

So today both my father and Husband changed their sacred Thread.

Padma , in every culture , there are traditions which define the importance of better conduct for living a peaceful and happy life to man . Thanks a lot for this information regarding a good tradition in our rich culture . 😊🤗

Padma , please don't worry our dear friend 🤗, everything will be fine . Normally daughters are nearer to their fathers and sons loved by their mother most . Even now whenever I go to my hometown , my father prefers to have his morning tea with me ! Till my marriage , throughout my childhood , my father pampered me and my mother tried to correct me in every aspect . 😊

Good afternoon my dear friends 🤗

Happy Raksha Bandhan to all who celebrate ❤️ I am thinking on my brother today, as well, thinking how lucky I am to have him in my life...❤️






The bond between brothers and sisters is so special, so all of you who have brothers enjoy in today's celebrations...Have a beautiful day, full with love, joy and laughter...
