This is how our New Year Eve went | Sharing some Joyful memories. New Year! To be honest I was not much excited about it. I had to work till 11.30 PM because of some deadlines, I couldn't go outside yesterday which usually I do almost every year. Thought that this year's eve would be ruined because of my busy schedule. From the evening there were Crackers and Fireworks going here and there randomly. My son got so excited, I promised him we will enjoy the eve no matter what.…
Flowers never fail to brighten up our day! The vibrant colors of the flowers give off enough to brighten up our day. *Flowers are the charmer of nature. No matter if it's in a nicely decorated park or in the wild, if it's in our garden or something on the screen; flowers always look beautiful, no?* Last weekend I visited a house with a beautiful terrace garden. I was amazed by seeing their flower collections. The whole place looks so bright and attractive because of all the…
No regret for cutting off some people from life! *When I came to realize I need to make the move, I felt numb for many days. All I was thinking about was what would be the aftermath?* But guess what? Now I can proudly say that I cut off some toxic people from life and I have no regrets about it. Moreover, I feel free, good about myself in many ways. If you are still in the phase where you don't feel the need to get rid of some people, then I must say, life is still treating…
I'm Thankful for Life, for what I have. *2021 was not a good year for me like millions of others. Looking back to it doesn't seem a great idea. I didn't write any evaluation post nor did I set any specific resolution for this year. I guess we have already come to a certain point where no matter how much effort we pay, there will still be something out of control; not just because of this pandemic but in general.* **Does that mean there's nothing to feel grateful about?**…
I'm not playing that game anymore. Did I forgive? I didn't even forget, I can tell you every detail of how hurt I was inside. Did you see, I use 'was' instead of 'is'? Can't you see I'm not playing that game anymore? The game we used to play a long ago. Image Source https://unsplash.com/photos/Cp-LUHPRpWM You came back to me, again and again. Can't you see I never look back? Didn't you feel even once that I would not look back again? I wouldn't play the game that we used to…
Apparently, I'm not my son's favorite Parent! And, I'm okay with it. My son is not a mamma's boy from the very beginning. Not even when I was his primary source of food. *But that's okay. It doesn't bother me at all. Because seeing his relationship with his Dad make me feel proud than anything. Whenever some say this to me, like aww...you are not his favorite parent! I always say mom is something else, we got a relation with our child that doesn't need to build rather it's…
The saga of waiting in a two hours queue! *Finally, I got my Covid - 19 Vaccine Shot two days ago. Yes, after more than a year when the vaccine gets available here in my part of the world.* Nope, I'm not an anti-vaxxer nor was afraid of it. I registered in July 2021. But got Covid in August. What an Irony! I was not hospitalized or too sick at that time. But was not physically (or should I say mentally too!) prepared to stand in a line to take the shot. Now because of the…
The Competition! Run, Run, Run... You have to learn to fly even if you have no wings. Look at him, how great he is doing in life! You have to earn a lot of money. You have to be a graduate. You have to marry. *We all have heard about these same things again and again from our childhood, didn't we? If you can't relate, then congratulations, your childhood was probably awesome. I wouldn't say, ours were not but it was filled with toxic competition.* Image source…
First School Day of my Little one! My son finished his first day of school today. It was a very exciting day for all of us. A week ago he did three grooming classes which were one and a half-hour long. But today it was 3 hours of class with a break. I didn't expect him to be patient for so long. But he did it! *All credit goes to the teachers. I found them very helpful, oriented with the kids. I said it earlier, maybe, my son is very talkative and restless. So keeping his…
The impact of our Words! Words are powerful, use them wisely. *In this social media era, probably we almost forgot that. Otherwise, why so hate, why so much negativity, narcissism! This* ***only I matter*** *generation/trend makes us forget what we are saying, sharing and what's their impact.* Image Source https://unsplash.com/photos/JYBBcCbRaFc Let me share a silly but powerful example! *You know the cartoon character* ***Dora*** *where she has a monkey friend named booths…
My Zentangle Art is as Chaotic as my mind! I took a pen and paper to calm down my mind. But what I proceed to create is all chaotic like my mind! *It does help me to relax and distract my mind from negativity. This is all I want. I'm not professional on this nor do I do it very often. Whenever I feel like I need to center my mind, don't have time for a meditation session, feel like I need pen and paper; this is the best thing I found that works for me to calm down and…
This Too Shall Pass...Is that true? *Nothing stays forever. What has come must go as well. Does our mind comply with this understanding? Maybe the answer is, no. Because when it becomes personal, we feel like the suffering will last forever. Even when it's bigger than what we can manage like any global issue, it seems like this suffering will never end.* Now you can ask me, then why I'm saying, this too shall pass! Image Source https://unsplash.com/photos/kIkcrX7tP7E If I…
My encounter with the Ghost!! Ghost! Do I believe in them? The answer is No. *But I believe in the supernatural. There must be something beyond our understanding, beyond what we see, different from our being, not similar to our dimension. But I don't name them as spirit or soul. But supernatural is the perfect word for what I believe.* Image Source https://unsplash.com/photos/eBupAjL0HR0 **If you ask me if I ever encountered a ghost-** Then, I'm not sure if I have any…
Before you say, I wish things could be different... What difference I'm making? Whenever I point a finger at someone else's act, this is what I asked myself. It helps to clear up my thoughts and focus on what I should do. Image Source https://unsplash.com/photos/5XJarqlwvPA I guess, more or less we all want to see a change in how things are going now. Maybe in our life or maybe in bigger aspects. When randomly this thought pops on your mind, take a breath and ask, what…
You are not alone! Am I talking about the supernatural? No. But you are not alone. So what does that mean? Let me explain... Image Source https://unsplash.com/photos/yaYqUfIMy_0 *Did you feel broken-hearted? Maybe it's not about someone you loved? But still, you feel something empty inside you? Or maybe you are feeling worthless, not good for anything? Useless maybe? If not then, maybe even once you feel like you lost the game in life. You are not finding the right path,…
Chrysanthemums made my Saturday more beautiful! What could have been more compelling for me to see the Chrysanthemum buds are blooming? This small surprise made my Weekend more beautiful. Now my balcony garden looks fulfilling with the deep marron touch of the Chrysanthemums. Maybe you are wondering, why I'm being silly. Well, let me explain... *I managed to get rid of hundreds of mealybugs that infected my Chrysanthemum plant for the last couple of months. It almost died,…
Attracted to 'Working Class'! Both of my parents did 9-5 jobs. Now we are doing the same, not only that our grandparents also kinda fall in the same category. People say, aww...you didn't manage to get off from the working class, become rich and live a comfortable life! I mean, yeah that's true. But you have to know that if I ever wanted that, right? *I have heard it from so many after marrying my husband; why him? He doesn't have a house or car on this name, he couldn't…
Women, Believe in yourself, believe in Self-power! 2022 but women still need to clarify every single activity to society. No matter if you are living in the so-called first world or third-world countries, no matter if you are a mom or living single, no matter the age, your skin color, or culture; you will find this pretty common everywhere! Image https://unsplash.com/photos/XmCMRPMO6lI *Did you ask yourself ever, why so?* I know there are thousands of answers to the…
Being meaningful in Life! Maybe this is the hardest thing I'm teaching myself to learn and incorporate in life! *Living a meaningful life is not as simple as I thought. It comes with a great responsibility as well. Knowing the purpose and adding value to every action I take, every thought I produce is something like a long battle with my natural being.* Image Source https://unsplash.com/photos/RdmLSJR-tq8 When I was replying to some comments the other day, this came to my…
The happiest are not always the successful ones! *How many years does it take you to understand this truth? Or are you still living in this bubble thinking happiness comes with materialistic wellbeing or depends on a successful life?* I would never say that you are responsible if you think this way. Because we all are victims of the system. The social system always forces us to achieve, reach a peak and do more to be successful. Image Source…
What does read.cash mean to me? - A Thank you Note! *It's been three months since I joined this network/community - read.cash.* Yes, it took me a while to discover it. I wish I could find it before and met these wonderful people earlier. But it's not too late and I'm grateful that I came across this platform. Image Source https://unsplash.com/photos/FHnnjk1Yj7Y **What does read.cash mean to me?** *Read.cash is a platform for me where I can express my true self. It's a place…
The debt I have to Pay, I must Pay! When I treat someone badly, it's a debt I must pay. I have a huge debt on my shoulder. When I look back it sometimes feels like, what if I am never forgiven? What if I have to pay the debt in other ways? Image https://unsplash.com/photos/VeeZz9sUaic Maybe it makes me seem like the worse person you have ever met. Whatever you think, I believe we all have a huge debt on our shoulders; some we know, some we never think about, some we don't…
'JhaalMuri' - One charming childhood memory that I've repeated with my child. *Jhaalmuri, the popular snacks are not a big deal itself. But we who grew up having this often must have many memories connected to it, right?* Today while I was having my afternoon snacks with some muri, one lovely memory came to my mind which I almost forgot. I read it somewhere, 'life is a circle.' When I repeated something similar to my childhood with my son that quote came to my mind. img…
