Pure is not so sure but customization definitely is

If at all there is some free time, where is it all going for a full time mom? Most of it goes on internet and online shopping these days! There are 100 websites, 200 brands, 300 products, 400 likes, 500 comments, 600 reviews, 700 discounts, 800 free home deliveries.......please somebody stop it, am I really getting any help here? May be, may be not! No kitchen is complete without salt and this poor human being just wanted to buy some salt, spare me :( !! Yes this is no exaggeration dear ones, I just wanted to buy some salt along with other things during my online grocery shopping, on a sleepy tired day! and I ended up reading articles again! Again, but this time on which salt to buy! please do not LOL now! Pity me! And pity you! Because that salt gyan is actually required, to me and to all of you. I just got to know that salt is a mineral after all and first of all and not a spice! something that we use only to satisfy the taste buds actually is a mineral and not a mere seasoning. Now I get to see pure salt, natural salt, iodised salt, less sulphur salt, lite salt and the list never ends! And after researching on which salt actually one ought to eat, the answer is mostly none of the above. You should be eating some pinkish rock salt or sea salt which is healthy. And all the refined table salts are void of any minerals. Now the search begins to buy some healthy salt when I feel really sleepy and out on energy to do anymore shopping. So I thought blogging would actually make me relaxed, occupied, forget about salt, forget about everything else...if not everything at least about shopping, oops! Forget about salt, for that matter any other product, you name it and there are in-numerous options and customization made out of the simplest of things which you cannot live without. Refined is such a bluff in today's market, there is no such thing as purest form in refined things. Because purest things are always available in crudest form, and there are hardly any brands that manufacture it, apart from few organic products. I hope what the organic products are quoting is trustworthy, at least for the time being. Refined oils-bad, refined sugar-bad, refined salt-bad, energy drinks for kids-bad......just the time goes in filtering and trying to escape from all these bad things. I have realized that it is happy to be a kid only, mom will figure out on what to feed me! Now being a mom, I just can not give my kid anything to eat. Kids need to enjoy the occasional sugar candies, pastries etc but you feel guilty of not been able to give them good quality basic stuff to eat daily if refined world  rules us! Pure is just a myth these days, pure doesn't mean sure but it only means more customization to cater the needs of ever growing population.

Parenting Tales - Luck Is Overrated & Happiness Is Acquired

Hey there! It has been such a long time I wrote here and it feels so good to be back. While the look and feel and reach of blogs have been transformed while I was away, one thing remained constant and that is content. End of the day, we all read when the content appeals to us, when the content stays with us, keep popping out of our minds when we are busy with something else, when it resonates with our persona and current phase of life. If you are a parent and dealing with new parenting trials every day then yes my thoughts resonate very much with you - our content is the same :) Let me make you feel jealous/happy for a bit now! Recently, during many interactions I was quoted as a 'lucky parent' and I felt the need to write why it is not so on most occasions. Sooner, you will know why. My child is 5 years now and below are certain things that happen as a rhythm and part of his lifestyle. 1. He is the first one to wake up at home by himself, early in the morning, around 6-...

Two fathers...unlimited love!

To the two most amazing fathers I have known so far! To the father who thinks beyond money who thinks daughters are no less to sons who thinks the best thing he could give his daughters is their education who never thinks that cooking is only a woman's job and still cooks at home who prepares much loved home-made pickle for her daughter instead of getting the store brought one who doesn't care what others think when he is doing the right thing who defied the societal rules and went out of his way just to give a beautiful life to his daughter in her rightful way! Happy Father's Day dear Dad! To the father who delivered his baby with the same (or may be more!) grit, passion and pain as his wife, excepting the physical pain and scars! who takes care of his kid also like a mother who never shows patriarchy who is never tired and always plays along with his child, almost like a sibling who never minded changing diapers, cleaning bum or giving bath to his baby wh...

Be organic!

This post is being written for the #MomsforaBetterWorld Project by women's web The water will be very cold, I don’t think I can spare so much time, I might get a bad tan, anyway how much can I learn in few months and worse thing, I might just drown! Uh-oh! Life is complicated; this is not going to happen with me! My body and mind just start giving me all the wrong and improper reasons for not learning the things which I consider essential, swimming-in this case. And this is the nth time I am postponing the thought of learning how to drive, irrespective of the fact that I learnt and drove a few times and left it long back. But I still feel the need for it! This is how most of us feel in different situations. While the problems look miniscule, overcoming them can become a Herculean task.  The most basic skills of life, which I have figured out over the years, that one ought to learn are – basic cooking, basic self-defense, basic driving, basic swimming and a passi...
