Randomness of Life! Hate it or love it! We get a huge influence from our surroundings. Maybe they don't use but they sure influence us. Need example? Notice the behavior of the rural and urban people, you will get to see a huge difference; from their lifestyle to the thought process. Because our surrounding affects in our life greatly. Here, in this city, when I went for a walk on the street when I go to the mall or any other place what I usually get to see is the rush, the…
Mental Health - My thoughts about the Basic Concepts & more... *Mental Health is maybe one of the topics that we talked about during the last year. It's a good sign that we are becoming more concerned about our mental health and wellness. But still, I found many struggles to understand different mental health issues. It's not actually anyone's problem but it's our duty to make everyone more aware of this.* Image Source…
Life is Hezzy, Yes. But feeling Lively is an option too! What you are experiencing in the photo is the everyday look of Dhaka - the city where I live! *Thousands of overhead wires, millions of people on the streets, street food carts and small vendors here and there, random car & motorbike parking, and the rush! This is what it looks like living in a densely populated city. But this is what makes the city life, this is what provides food to many...* Just to let you know the…
Positive Parenting and my Experience. *Positive parenting is essential for a happier, healthier & prosperous family. Parenting is all about upbringing our children in the right way so they can contribute best to the world. The first stakeholder of positive parenting is always the household. That's the magic of positive parenting. Because we can get the fruit that we have planted. How we are bringing our children is how the world will be, right?* That's why we need to talk,…
Perfectionism is not taking me anywhere, it's not making me better! *I was always being very organized as a person. I never get late at anything, I always try to keep promises, and most importantly I maintain my space very ordered.* All these may sound amazing but believe me, it's not! Why? Because there should be a borderline in perfectionism. Otherwise, this one thing is enough to make our life more stressful. img https://unsplash.com/photos/gUUczWg8SIM The thing is, it's…
Taking the Big Decision or compromising? *Did you ever stand at some point in your life when you have to choose between A and B? There's nothing else in between! You can't make any other agreement, you no more can negotiate, you can't tolerate anymore!* Image Source https://unsplash.com/photos/MQz-tZEg8L8 I don't know about you. But for me, it happens a few times! Yeah, really. People now look at my life and say, how smooth your life is going. Well, I had to cross a tough…
Installed a new Bird Feeder | Preparing multigrain bird food and sharing some bird Photos. A good amount of Sparrows and Starling visit my balcony every day to have some free meal! And I love it. *Getting to see a lot of birds in this megacity feels like a blessing. As we live in a residential area that contains hundreds of highrises/apartment buildings so birds usually don't visit near us. Only after I added a pot of rice randomly on my balcony years ago made they give us a…
Being Mom!! | The current challenges I'm facing. *Getting complaints about behavioral issues of my child is the biggest surprise for me. As a mom, I felt embarrassed, awkward, not sure what to do!* This is something new to me. I always got to hear, not only from my relatives but from everyone that I raised my son pretty well. He is completely screen-free, very connected to offline life. Yes, as a toddler he shows tantrums now and then but he was always well behaved. It felt…
Some Childhood memories I got to recall after meeting a long lost friend! We had a huge banyan tree in our locality during our childhood. We used to believe that the tree will never die. No, not our partners or anyone told us so or made us believe that. We kids build a theory by ourselves and thought if there is something that can live forever, then it must be the tree. Also, when we learned from our books that trees also have feelings, they can communicate in their own way;…
Why as women do we need more emotional resilience? *We all know that women are more emotional than men. If you take an example from the very past to this modern-day, you will see no difference. Though there are changes in time, in culture, in our lifestyle. But this basic will never change, I guess.* Image https://unsplash.com/photos/i-ePv9Dxg7U I believe this is the one best reason why we should be emotionally more conscious. You can name it emotional mindfulness. This…
Raising & teaching a kid is like learning from the beginning all again! Kids are born creative. But just need to let the flow goes on... *Being a mom of a 5 years old son, I'm learning every day. Sometimes I wonder seeing how a child can be so innovative, creative, adopting...I'm not just talking about my son, it's in general. Kids are creative, most intelligent. Though their restless activities sometimes bother us. But without this, they would not be a kid anymore, no?* My…
Celebrate Love - It will bring more joy and happiness to your life! *There can be a long debate on whether we need any special day to celebrate love or every day is a perfect day to show your affection. If you ask me, I would say; even if you don't follow or need any special occasion do this occasionally!* In my country, because of our religion, many people don't celebrate Saint Valentine's Day. That's well understandable and I guess we all should respect everyone's choices.…
Sometimes we need to walk alone! *As a mom getting alone time is something I call luxury. I do try to manage time for self-care but always have to talk or involve in something other things at the same time. So getting out for a walk, alone, became an occasional event!* I was looking for a jewelry repair shop the other day. It was not on Google so I have to search for it. I asked some bystanders, they couldn't help. Then I decided to walk. The afternoon sun felt so…
No one cares! You can take these words positively or negatively, it's up to you! If you feel like you need to show your authentic self; if you want to express your true feelings; if you need to step back to have a better life; if you are feeling ashamed to start a new chapter of life because of people then I have big news for you! **No one cares!** Image source https://unsplash.com/photos/Zf0-90SpDD0 What do you think? How longer people will care for you, focus on you and…
The guilt of being 'unproductive'. *Don't you sometimes feel like not doing anything? I don't know about you but most of the time guilt fills me up. It feels like I'm the most useless one in this world.* I found that saying to myself, "it's okay to take a break, I will catch up later" doesn't always help me. It always pushes me to do more. And I think this is one of the reasons why I feel so stressed. So I took the decision to learn 'How to pause productively'. 'Quality…
I have tried making 'Butterfly pea Tea' with my garden flowers. *Recently there's a huge hype about this tea. Not only because of the health benefits but mostly because of the vibrant blue color. By adding a few drops of lemon with the tea it turns from blue to purple!* I have a blue butterfly pea plant on my balcony and thought why don't I try this at home. I wouldn't say I'm a big fan of herbal tea. But this tea somehow felt like worth trying. Because it gives a fresh not…
We too grow as a Parent with our Kids! Parenting is a 24/7 job. Yes, unpaid! But the love that comes with it is what makes us go on... *Every single day is new learning for me, as a mom of a four years old son. I'm growing as a parent, I'm learning the things I never thought I have to, I'm solving the problems I never thought would be in my life. It doesn't sound fun, I know. But believe me, there's hidden fun and enjoyment in this. And I guess every parent knows about this…
"Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps the singing bird will come." *Green is something that attracts everyone, right? It's a natural healer. Feeling down? Go close to nature and you will feel better- this is the simplest solution for me.* The place where I live, we who do gardening at home has our connection. Like we exchange seeds, plant cutting, our small knowledge, and more. It feels great when someone comes to visit my balcony garden, appreciates it,t and takes…
The memories we make with our family are more Precious than anything. *Being able to be with family is what I call a blessing. Not everyone can make that nor they can enjoy it. If your family is something that makes you feel comfortable, then believe me you are blessed.* Image Source https://unsplash.com/photos/V3dHmb1MOXM I was away from everything for a few days to attend a family wedding. I was not sure at first if I would go because of this pandemic. But the vaccine is…
Breaking the Social Class! The other day when I was browsing some clothing accessories in a shopping mall, I got to see a middle-aged man as a salesperson, which is highly unlikely, right? I was thinking in my mind, what could have made him do this job. Nope, I don't show him any pity. I respect the fact that he is doing his best in life. And I know for sure he has something better than any of us have in other ways. But what came in my is, **It's hard than we think to break…
The cost of Living | Everyday Life struggle of Commoners! *It seems like this pandemic situation will never end. You may wonder knowing, in my country people are not worried about the virus but their living.* It's hard to believe but it's true. When you are not sure how you are gonna survive and eat on the next day, no virus or disease can make you feel more worried! `A local vehicle pulled by humans, we call it 'Rickshaw'!` Today I saw this on a news saying nearly 5 million…
Loyalty has an expiration date! *Keeping promises, not breaking the relationship 'rules', serving and loving is what we call loyalty, right?* Can humans be loyal? How long they can play the game? These are the questions that always pop into my mind. img https://unsplash.com/photos/6GQ7V2l5iPA *I believe, we come to certain points and made an agreement to keep our promises. That's it. Being loyal comes along with it for sure. On the other hand, human always has the tendency,…
This is how I'm trying to deal with my son's anger issue! *Anger management is really tough for a kid. They don't know how to express themselves, they even can't tell how they are feeling so they also can't express themselves properly. All this turns into anger when something goes wrong.* img https://unsplash.com/photos/sySclyGGJv4 My son is turning 6 next month. As he is very different at home so we never thought there would be any problem for him to cope with schooling. He…
