A Cup of Ni

  F or a very long time my heroes were Superman, Iron Man, Wonder Woman and all people having superpowers. But that was then. Today I am all grown up to understand the world better First question that pops up in my mind is: Why do we need a Hero ? We need them as they save us in difficult situations like war, alien attacks, nuclear explosions etc. They also inspire us to be hardworking, strong, creative and sharp minded. Now in this pandemic when we need these heroes the most, we don’t see Superman or Iron man flying in the sky and protecting all of us. But somebody is taking our care. Guess who? Yes, you are right, it’s our Doctors, Nurses, P harmacist, Soldiers and Teachers. They are the real Heroes in disguise today. Let me tell you why- Doctors : As they risk their lives still coming to hospitals to cure us. Nurses : As they are giving vaccines even if they are at open risk of getting that disease. Pharmacist : As they are always there to provide you the best avail

This is a totally chaotic and crazy time. No one knows how long this is going to last.And No one knows what to do in the extra time which has been suddenly given to them. Especially   kids. There are so many little-little things which we would have  never focused upon , had there been no Corona situation . Cooking and baking was never so much fun, playing Scrabble and Ludo and was never on our daily charters,reading books was a long forgiven passion for few people....and so on. But thanks to ..*, all these joys are back in our lives. Today i would like to contribute ,by sharing what i keep my kids and family busy in. Dance your heart out- There is no better way to exercise. It is fun cum fitness in the same platter. Whether or not you are a fan of dancing, give it a try.  Give a spiritual lessons to kids - With so much time at disposal, i planned to teach few religious stories and narrations to my kids this year. In fact i made them learn few Shloks, which definitely helped to create a

Picture Credits to my sweetheart daughter who drew this for me :) On this cloudy Wednesday, when i have nothing special to do, lets talk bout "What are we secretly good at ?"...AND yes, we are not talking bout the regular stuff like cooking , sports or arts...THAT everyone would know, the fun here is to talk bout the things which are weirdos in their own sense. "I am quick at finding tiny things" , announced my daughter proudly when she found my lost earring .She is actually good at movies too, she can guess out the name of the song and movie by just listening to a song for a second, which i strangely suck at. I would listen to a complete song, then also if the movie name strikes , it would be a big deal 😃 "Secretly,I can impersonate people's walk", says my dear friend. Well, that never came up before i heard it. And now it is a valid talent too " I am awesome in biting my toe nails and no one can guess was it a nail cutter o

This winter, we started watching our much awaited ,T.v show - " Grey's Anatomy ". By the end of 5th season we have already seen a lot of people dying and a lot being born and moving ahead in their lives as it comes. Knowingly or Unknowingly these things linger around on the top level of your brain the whole day. and one fine day the strangest thing happened..... while walking the road to pick my kid up from her bus stop...i let my thoughts wander ; and out of the blue, this voice loudly shouted in my ears" Cross the road carefully, You have to take care of your family...be careful" But , that was a scary part. Where are u, just nowhere, what have u achieved yet...just nothing...And if not taken care ..it would be over? On a regular day, for no particular reason , my mind has wrapped around death for the first time and i momentarily panicked. I would be turning 35 this year, and this is not one of the midlife crisis moment. Have you felt like this

Here we are on the verge of end of 2018 and ready to face 2019 with a big smile, what better time would it be to write this post. There were times in our life when we wanted to just undo few moments ...few embarrassing ones.....few done with more finesse....or may be few regretful ones. Lets be honest about those today...lets face them and get them out of our systems before its the new dawn  ☺ ( easier said then done though ). Let me go first as as a starter: Once , when i was participating with my daughter in her sports day, she was suppose to run till the finish line with the gifts packed by mothers in few seconds . She could have won the contest had the gift not opened up in the mid way  coz the ribbon tied to it was to loose to hold it, but she was disqualified rather. :( I wish i could have tied another knot to it . Another time : When i went to a parlour to get my shoulder length hair trimmed, i got them cut wayyyy  shorter  and i ended up my husband calling me &quo

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
