मिठाई

My daughter is found of sweets and cakes . We try not to overfeed her and put all our efforts in managing this .
But when you see her gazing at sweets the way she is doing , there is no way you can say NO .

Helplessness

There is a time in the whole day when I am in this state.....
You were travelling in a boat alone in the sea . things looked bright and clear and you were bound to reach your destination . Suddenly you notice that the boat has a big hole and the water has started flushing in . You try all means but there is nothing which can save you now . Life comes to an end .

This is the same feeling which you travel through when you lose your parent . When I lost my monther , I was breathlessly looking for help , but no help came . Its a state of shere helplessness .

What you need at that time is someone who can assure you that your loved one will come back .

Ancient Script

Can you identify the picture and script . This is not an out come of ancient excavation .
This is the script in which my 2 year old daughter writes her mummy papa name . When asked few days back , her answer was ...i am writing mummy papa .
I was exciting and so allowed her to write on all the walls . Finally yesterday she came to me with a twist in the tale . Her new version was ... papa ..मम्मी पापा हट गया ,... अब Baru है .
Ha Ha Ha ..nice twist ...loved it .
I think she has read the quote .." The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt"

Carrom board

We bought carrom at our home when I was in class 8th . We all were so excited . Since we are  4 siblings , there was no scope for any one in the game .
Every evening the game started at 6 PM and got closed only when papa used to come shouting in the night to close due to disturbance we made .
Wonderful time and memories . Relived the same moment few days back when we all were in Kolkata . I was surprised to see that I could still play and play well . My youngest sister was pathetic and above that , she was a cheater and I am happy to see that she is still the same . 
The best in family was papa . He could still play so well and won all the matches .

Yoga

The benefits of yoga provide both instant gratification and lasting transformation. Yoga can change your physical and mental capacity quickly, while preparing the mind and body for long-term health.
Yoga is not just about working out, it’s about a healthy lifestyle. The practice of yoga allows people to find stillness in a world consumed with chaos.
Yoga’s deep breathing and meditation practices help foster an inner shift from to-do lists, kids and spouse’s needs, financial concerns, and relationship struggles to something a little bit bigger than the issues you face. Yoga helps relieve stress and declutters the mind, helping you to become more focused.
And all these benefits has been well understood by my little baby who is just 2 years now and loves to do yoga .

मेरी बेटी

तुम सर्दी में इतनी सुंदर क्यों हो जाती हो मेरी बेटी
गोल-मटोल स्कार्फ बांध कर
नन्हीलाल चुन्नी जैसी नटखट क्यों बन जाती हो मेरी बेटी

मेरी बेटी, मेरी जान, मेरी भगवान,
मेरी परी, मेरी आन, मेरा मान
मेरी ज़िंदगी का मेरा सब से बड़ा अरमान
लगता है जैसे मैं तुम्हें खुश रखने
और देखने के लिए ही पैदा हुआ हूं

मन करता है
तुम्हारे बचपन के बहाने
अपने बचपन में लौट जाऊं
जैसे गेहूं और बथुआ आपस में खेल रहे हैं
मैं भी तुम्हारे साथ खेलूं

तुम्हें किस्से सुनाऊं
हाथी, जंगल और शेर के
राजा, रानी, राजकुमार और परी के
तुम को घेर-घेर के
उन सुनहरे किस्सों में लौट जाऊं
जिन में चांद पर एक बुढ़िया रहती थी
