My Iron Lady : My Mother

 This post is from the bottom of my heart. My mother,  Mrs Aleyamma Alias aka Leela was born to late Urumese and Unichar. She grew up as their youngest daughter. She is an extremely dedicated and a hardworking woman.  She used to find time to help her parents in paddy fields from her fifth standard. She used to go to school and there after pre degree college by walking even longer distances that I could ever imagine. These are some of her experiences she used to tell us when we complain about our lives. She is a full time homemaker who makes delicious foods for her dear ones. Our house was transformed to a wonderful home which we named as Pearl villa with a wonderful garden by her selfless efforts. She cultivates vegetables fruits etc in her backyard. Some may think these are just flattery stuff. No it’s not. A mother is someone who can be a role model in many ways to their children. But exceptions can be there. My mother , is a role model to me. Her consistency, dedication, hardwork, kindness, emotional intelligence  and utmost love is something tougher for a person like me to maintain and achieve. I am really grateful to God for gifting my life to be born as a daughter to my Iron Lady , My Mummy. I have triplet kids. She is also one of the greatest supporters to take care of them since it’s a team work to look after my naughty ones. 

Many people underestimate their mothers. It’s hard for me to imagine a day without her. Once I got married, I am realising how hard is to maintain the role of a mother a wife and many more roles as a person in different parts of one’s life in imperfectly perfect ways. Nobody is perfect. There will be flaws. So we should be ready to accept one’s and somebody else’s imperfections so that we will get a sense of gratitude , self love and pure heart and soul. A soulful life is hard to cultivate. But getting engaged in what we do to its fullest and reaping fruits of hardwork, love and passion is what make a person’s life meaningful. I learnt these and still continuing the process of life education through my mother, father, husband, mother in law , siblings , my teachers , my friends and colleagues and the persons I meet everyday. But the cornerstone to its process was paved by mother. “Be brave like a lion , be kind like a mother and be you like you” , the role model to this quote in my life is my mother, Leela. I love you mummy. May God Bless you always.

The Miraculous Gifts God Gave Me



What i am going to write here is not just a story,  but my life experience. Have you ever experienced miracles in life?  When we truly believe and pray,  God will answer our prayers and will bless us with more than we have  asked for.  

It was a February back in  2021, covid pandemic was ruling our planet. 3 years passed after our marriage.  But the desperate wish to become pregnant was not yet achieved.  My periods was missed for more than 3 weeks.  Pregnancy tests were negative twice,  the last was on  56th day of the cycle. I accidentally happened to talk to a priest who was running a retreat centre. I told him my worries. He told me to see 51 holy mass in 21 days which was practically tough and it was covid time and i was not keen in attending regular sunday holy mass. But i was firm enough to do that task.  

Covid pandemic had  affected church prayers.  But online holy mass service was available. I came across Charis Bhavan latin mass which was available twice daily.  I was a doctor and i had busy work schedule. But in the midst of everything i started watching holy mass, sometimes twice or thrice or even 5 times a day.  I completed 3  days of doing so.  So i was forced to do a test on the third day night. Miraculously and by the grace of god it was positive.  I was delighted that God has answered my prayers. Blood test also was done and it came positive but lower value. But the happiness didn't last for long,  i had bleeding post 10 days after knowing pregnant. But i was not sad because God had given me a sign. I believed in God. I continued seeing the mass. I completed 51 masses in 21 days. But after that my periods got regular. I had tried a lot of treatments for pcod and still was taking some vitamins and supportive tablets. But as a doctor i can assure that previous treatments with hormonal injections couldn’t help me. Only God could.

Soon after that,  after three months i missed my periods. I did a pregnancy test and it turned positive and the blood test also showed high value. I consulted a gynaecologist and she did a scanning and told me it was doubtfully multiple pregnancy. I was advised to do a repeat scan. And to my great surprise, doctor told me it was triplets. And in the same  year 2021,  i gave birth to the greatest miraculous gifts i could ever get in my lifetime,  MY TRIOS.I became mother to two baby boys and a baby girl on 27/12/2021. They were named as Hazael Mariam,  Chris John and Ezekiel Elias.

Yes this is how i experienced a  miracle in my life. Luke 1:37 and Mathew 7:7 are some of the inspirational quotes i used to believe and firmly sticked on to. I am sure and i can guarantee you that God can do wonders if u believe in him and trust him. This is my testimony in Jesus Name. Praise the Lord And Amen...

A legendary doctor whom i have met:Dr. TRP

It was the very first day of my professional life. I was really tensed like every other people. I joined for duty in LF hospital,Angamali immediately after finishing MBBS and yeah not preplanned.Life was without plans then. My unit head ,Dr. Thomas Raju Paul aka Dr TRP landed like a lion entering his kingdom. He addressed nurses and wished them good morning. Then looked at me. Asked my name and a few things. I was supposed to assist his unit colleague Dr Gopakumar sir(Dr. GK).
                            A month later, i was shifted to Dr trp's part of the ward.My ward name is 'L'ward which is again divided into L1 and L2. Morning rounds was fine. He understood my immaturity as a JR and ignorance in the clinical practice. A doctor becomes perfect through practice. It was taught to me by him;not through lectures. But through his daily practice.

Dr. TRP is a Dr. Perfect person. Very punctual, health conscious and Mr. Perfectionist in whatever he does.There is a myriad of things to learn from him like how he addresses patients,how he deals with caregivers ,how he prescribes medicines,how he diagnoses diseases and many more. I worked with him for about three years and still working. These days many doctors prescribe polypharmacy. But he gives his patients minimal medicines.

I remember an incident. Two years back ,one old lady came with disorientation. But in her deepest disorientation , she was remembering her treating doctors name, dr Raju paul. It striked my heart and mind. I was astonished thinking how deeply people love him and respect him. Similarly, one young girl,16 yr old was diagnosed to have diabetes. Dr Trp had a secret talk with her. We all know diabetes is a serious disease that can affect a person very badly. People find it difficult to address this problem if comes in a young age. But once she got discharged , she left a a greeting card(selfmade) for her friendly doctor.

It is very easy to treat patients. But to provide appropriate treatment and utmost care needs dedication. It is good to be admired as a doctor. But to be admired as the best , we need to be the best. This is possible only for Legends. 


A tribute to Dr TRP ..

With love Maria.

That New Friend...

We all  have some people in our lives whom we value precious. It  can be our  family, friends , colleagues or some people we admire the most like our teachers ,film artists and many more. We love them and care for them. They also do the same back.
                Love and care are the elementary  components in a relationship. When its lost, the relation will shatter into pieces . But when its there relationship will be an everlasting bond like a lifetime investment ..
       A few years back ,in september 18 2017 ,i met someone at my home. It was so called kerala tradition "pennu kaanal".; which means a guy comes to see a girl with his family for marriage ,to girls home. I was slightly tensed since it was my first time. My cousins were teasing me. Uncles and aunts gave a class on how to behave when they come. Finally he came .. I didnt see him. Everyone else saw him and gave me good feedbacks. And i was like" HuH". Tachycardias and palpitations were happening as if i am appearing for ma final mbbs exam vivas. The adrenaline surge made me like feeling hell. "Just make this finish as fast as possible" i was whispering to myself. And then ma turn came to introduce me to guy n his family.. I murmured " Maria ,be cool. All is well.". I sat down on the chair in the dining hall infront of that guy. I had starting troubles. I was moving ma hand over the other.
 We just shared a few things on the dining hall as part of casual talk. And then parents told guy n girl can talk to each other. Impulsively i told like " we il go upstairs.". Everybody started laughing. I was ashamed. I didnt use to drink tea. That i told  in the beginning when they asked me. But while we were going upstairs he told that take the cup of tea with me. I was okai with that. But slowly slowly i was freed of ma tensions. He was gentle and was a good listener. After about half an hour or more , ma sister came all the way upstairs and told us that everybody want us downstairs.. We did nt feel like we talked too much. We were quite in good sink. 
    And finally when they left ,i waved at the guy as if we do when friends leave our home. All around me laughed again. 
Now , i am sitting on the sofa of "that guys " home. Yeah ma husbands home. He is ma new best friend. My loving one n only husband.

Wd love

MY DAD; MY HERO.........

                                                  My father is a person who means a lot to me. He is not only a father but my ever time best friend. I am proud to be born as the daughter of my dad. His name is Alias Thomas Vadakkan. Today all over the world its time to make fun of others; because today is April fool. But on this day itself my dad was born on  this earth as the son of late Mrs Mariam Thomas and late Mr Thomas Vadakkan some 46 years back.

                          My dad has started his journey in this world 46 years back. Ma dad is ma inspiration to fulfill ma dreams. He is such an awesome man i have ever seen. a person who never smoke and don't drink hot drinks. He is really hardworking loving and caring. He is sensitive sometimes and sometimes he is rough and tough. But inside he is very delicate kind hear-ted man. He had to pass through many hardships to reach wherever  he is now. Its through hard work,  love , prayers and dreams; he reached here. When he celebrates his 46th b'day today, its ma luck to be his daughter. He has conquered the hearts of others with his pleasing loving and caring attitude. He is not that much educated. but then he wants his daughters to be in such a position where he couldn't reach. He is man who love simplicity in everything he does. he is a fan of cricket. A strong communist. Music is his crazy weakness. Driving is always his passion. Accelerations and decelerations  in his life is noteworthy.                               He is not only ma father but ma ever time best friend. i can tell anything to  him. He always has a reason in everything he does and everything he says. I rarely finds negatives in him. Life is meant to see meaningful dreams when we are awake and  fulfill it by hard work and dedication is his motto. I do have even hurted ma dad several times. We fight like crazy friends. But compromises are always just formality to show others. We share similarities in many things. He taught me to face challenges in ma life. he made me learn how failures become stepping stones to success. He always wants her daughters not to forget the past. Reviews are always needed in life so as to correct mistakes and go on in life. We should not respond to the ones who teases , wish our bad luck and all. Instead we should show them we are not weak by attaining success in life. We should be patient always. Patience gives a kind of emotional meditation. All these are his advises to me. Appa i love you so much..              I wish you a delightful b'day. May all ua dreams come true.. May you live a hundred years with happiness peace and prosperity. I am proud to be ua daughter. Love you dad... mwaah....
