Of late, the only regular reader of my blog seems to be my ten year old daughter. She is a voracious reader and like me her reading tastes are diverse.
A couple of months back she got interested in this blog. She was particularly tickled by the little anecdotes about her sister and herself which I had blogged about when they were toddlers.
She did have one interesting question though - why was the blog named 'Chellakilli'?
As with many things in life, there was no method to the madness. I started this blog in Jan 2009 and one of the objectives was to blog about random stuff in incognito mode. One of the interesting names that I chanced upon (inspired by a dialogue from a malayalam movie released a couple of years before I started blogging) was 'Chellakilli'. Roughly translated (in Trivandrum slang) it means precious and is a term of endearment for a child.
As you can imagine, I have been tempted to rename/redirect the blog (to a much more relevant name) multiple times. Somehow each time I get started, I shy away from doing so. Maybe this blog is my chellakilli and I am too attached to the name!
