About

Hello!!

I am Ann. I love  painting, writing, photography and eating good food, in that order. I am from the beautiful south Indian state Kerala. I am not a wild travel freak. I believe there is beauty in the routine and mundane. I am a doctor who is currently working in the research industry and happy with what I do. An introvert who needs that lone time to recharge.

My favorite topics to write/paint are my faith and mental health. I love Jesus and I am so glad that He loved me first. So yeah, that pretty much sums up who I am. 

If you wanna say hello to me personally, feel free to drop a “hi” in my instagram messages. My handle is 4Drachma

  1. “Peculiar people” are supposed to be weird aren’t we? As someone whose name means butterfly, I’ve always loved them, so I find your blog name clever. Don’t know if by the “clipped” part you mean you don’t fly, but that’s just a matter of time 😉 Thanks for looking around my blog and liking some posts. I’ll do some more looking around yours as well. So glad we’ve crossed paths…

    Grace and peace,
    Vanessa

    1. Weird is good.. Weird is special 🙂

      By ‘clipped’ I just meant there is always a part of you that you keep closed inside because being original is not always appreciated.

      Glad I met you too.. 🙂 God bless!

      2. We are all different — we were created to be different. I’m betting that you’re far more appreciated than you realize, my dear sister. Think about what King David said to God in Psalm 139: 13-14.
        “For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
        I grew up under, shall we say, less than favorable circumstances and as a result, I was extremely shy. I battled my shy, introverted self – the me with no self-esteem, for many years; well on up into my mid 30’s in fact.
        You made a statement that really hit home for me. You wrote, “By ‘clipped’ I just meant there is always a part of you that you keep closed inside because being original is not always appreciated.”
        The older I get, it seems like genuine, down to earth people appreciate the same type person. It’s the people who put on airs, or try to be someone or something that they aren’t that can’t seem to appreciate a genuine, what-you-see is what-you-get type person.
        So FLY BUTTERFLY — FLY!!! Be you… there’s no one else on the planet that can do it as well as you can sugar!
        Big HUGS to you, and may God, our Father, wrap you up in His tender loving arms, allowing you personally experience His agape love and His strength, available at all times… just ask, He says.✝

  10. Thank you for the follow 🙂 I believe Kerala is a beautiful part of India. I got to know someone from there when he lived and worked here for a while before returning home to Kerala. He taught me a lot about his country and culture. It was of even more interest to me of course as our oldest son was born in India and came home to us as a five month old 🙂

  11. Thanks for stopping by BigSisterKnows.com.

    I just read a couple of your blog posts, and I truly enjoyed them! I needed the humor–thanks!

    Here’s something you might appreciate. I have it on a pillow in my room:

    Lord, keep your arm around me
    And your hand over my mouth.

    Amen!

    I look forward to reading more on your site. My God bless you in all you do.
