Making Friends for life !!!

-


Or rather start with " How hard is it to make New Friends".

I had few really good friends when i was in school .Then i got another set of friends when i went to college without knowing that the ones i had in school would move out ..not just from town but also from my friend's zone slowly and steadily. Then came the phase when i was baby stepping into the corporate world......new people, new location, new freedom....but what about my old friends, old life, old chemistry between friends ?

Now i am mother of 2 , trying to make new friends again....

Someone told me some really nice tips for that :

1. Join kitties around you ( note : kittieS ) ( but somehow this is not my cup of tea)
2. Join whatsapp groups of your kid's class's mothers.
3. Try joining activity classes.
4. Go to pick and drop your child to school (this is a proven sure shot way to meet all the mothers who do the same )
5. Enroll your kid to 101 after school activities (offcourse it means that you would go to pick and drop them ) .
Oh and yes, if you can afford time, sit with other mothers during the activity
6.Go to temple around your place once in a week ( have you not heard of temple friends yet ☺ )
7.Park Friends: Ladies that take their kids to parks every evening tend to make friends.

Haha , if i go by all these rules i am sure i would become one of the busiest mom who has loads and loads of friends.

PS :Now that the slot of my best friend is permanently occupied [❤❤], plz apply for other positions ☺

Hey readers plz let us know how you all are making friends these days and what works for
you most of the times .

    Very nice blog..but the points you gave does not make friends..it just makes a social group.I think school friends are best if living in the same city..

    As you grow your choice for friends changes. But some are close to your heart forever.

Me-time for Moms

Whether you have 1 child or 2, whether you are working or nonworking, whether you live in a nuclear family or a joint family, Me-time seems non existing for mothers. But after experiencing the joy of motherhood for 10 years I have figured out ways to oxygenate myself in between. Here are a few tips to take out self-time, no matter how tight the schedule is.  If you have 1-5 min at your disposal Drink a relaxing drink- Lemonade being my fav. Practice breathing: Anulom-Vilom ( Smell the flowers - Blow the candles, Smell the flowers-Blow the candles) Take your Vitamins Give yourself a refreshing Face wash Hug your child-Trust me, this is the most refreshing thing of them all. If you have 5-10 min at your disposal Call your Friends - I do this most of the time Add those extra mins to your shower time Listen to your fav songs. Change the wallpaper/ringtone of your phone Read an informative blog If you have 10-30 min at your disposal Trim/Water your plants Clean something or rearrange your

What People Usually Talk About.

  Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, Pardon me for spilling the beans and letting the secret of your conversations out in the open...but I cannot hold this research analysis anymore. We have this perception that when talking to our friends, we are talking about anything and everything...but 90 % of the time we only talk about the following categories. For example, women tend to talk about their kids, maids, and house, whereas, on the other hand, men have interests in completely opposite topics like sports (usually cricket in India), gym, and politics. I have done a fair study of the things that people generally talk about. Surprisingly it is always the same for men and women separately. So here is a chart based on my survey....... For Men, Politics Rocks all the time !!. And they have strong opinions about their favorite political team as well ( Secret here: Even though I pretend to listen to my husband talking fondly about political issues but I just cannot stand talking about them. ... shhhh

Electronics DetoX

By Nidhi Jain Few years back i read this article : " New Milestone Emerges : Baby's First iPhone App", and it still lingers in my mind. This article was about a study concerning the use of electronics by small children.  As adults(we) turn increasingly occupied with their "Gadgets" (tablets, ipads, iphones, kindles..etc), our children - even the smallest ones are doing equally well . The apps have been developed for all age groups  - Zero to Eight all have their own games and apps.  Ipads and Tablets are the Game changers because of their easy to use property.  Though many parents express pride and amazement that their young children are so tech-savvy, she said, what has really happened is that technology has gotten much easier to use. " My daughter (five months) knows which finger to use while handling a phone",  says one of my friends  Sometimes we as parents willingly give our kids these opportunities to use the tabs and ipads, coz we n
