Each Day is a New Day for me

Early morning, she wakes up, and then I rush her to school. So I assume here,  that each day she wonders how to cope up with going to the same school, with the same uniform, in the same van, with the same friends and meeting the same teachers; feels monotonous over time. And so to bring an interest or a zing into this activity, she motivates herself by following activities - 

• New tiffin box/water bottle
• New type of hair style
• New hair bands n hair clips
• Some new colourful bangles or earrings
• Mummy cooking new tiffin
• Four or Five variety of nuts into the box as surprise element
• Juice in a bottle
• And everyday, colourful designer bindi
• Nailpolishes
• Garland over the braids n some flowers for her school Acharya

And the list goes endless....Each day something new is awaiting for her, and her senses enjoy the Bright New Day

Mummy, Kya Bhoot hote hai (Do Ghost really exists)?

Hehehe, I know reading this post title, many of you will laugh, including me! :-D ;-)

So yesterday night, on bed, minutes before she sleeps, my 6 years old Akshara, asked me, Mummy, Kya Bhoot (Ghost) hote hai? So like every good mother, who never scares little children, I answered "NO". Then she asked me another question, which I cannot even imagine it myself. "Then, Mummy tell me Why did God created this term "Bhoot"? Did God created it or people did? How did we get this idea of Bhoot? I realized, that it was not easy to escape this time. So for few seconds,I became quiet and immersed in my thinking on how best to tell her. I think it was a too long pause! As though she understood my conflict, she probed me again....with an additional (motivating) line, "Mom, you know everything, I know." So when any mother comes under the influence of such cheesy words, suddenly her brain acts at very quick speed. Something similar happened to me.

After some 20 minutes of discussion, she was assured that nothing bad is going to happen to her or anyone she loves. And this will remain truth for her till few more years. But as she grows up, the world around her, will place doubt, make her probe, question many such myths, stories, fables, and she will turn herself into a small time researcher and arrive into conclusions which will be proportionate to her nature of experience.

But tonight, its all about her Good Night Sleep!

Just like her, I am also remembering one of my myth, learnt it first from my mother and that which has kept me safe till today is "Nothing bad can happen to good people."

So with this, I am signing off!

Happy Wedding Anniversary and my best gift

Happy Anniversary Hubby!

I know you will agree to this, when I say this is our Best Anniversary Greeting Card ever presented. 

I am truly amazed with her creative thoughts and imaginative skills in this handmade card.

No words to really express how happy and proud I am today. Keep Going girl! Much Much Love to you my Akshara.

Greeting Cards by the little hands

It doesn't matter what occasion it is for you, a greeting card from your child is just on the way! 😆

So it's a day before my 7th Wedding 💒 Anniversary, and my daughter woke up, took her pack of sketch pens, pencil, eraser, some chart paper📄 sheets, stickers, to the other room with a warning ⚠ that no one is supposed to enter and watch our Surprise Greeting Card in preparation.

It got over in an hour, and she was hugging the card to her chest, and walking about the whole house, not ready to show it to anyone. She told me not to see, then she looked at daddy and told him too, not to ask and probe on the secret matter.

After few minutes, restlessly, she came and sat beside me, looked at me worriedly though silent. At that moment, her eyes spoke more than words. So I asked her, what's the matter about? She looked at her father, and then again turned to me "Mom, I want to show you, but Pappa will also want to know now and my surprise for tomorrow will get spoiled.“ I couldn't help but smile ☺, so I made her task simpler i.e. Let Pappa alone be surprised on the wedding date! She got thrilled, and snapped back at her father, "Pappa, I will show it to you tomorrow. Mom is like my Drawing Teacher, so I can show it to her." 😀😀😀😀😀:-D.

My amusement knew no bounds and Lo, what I saw was the bestest of the Greeting Card I can ever receive in my lifetime.

You think, I will post the pic of the Greeting Card so quickly here. No, it is on hold until 22nd February morning.
