striking balance

plastic, the word without which I think most ppl cant imagine their lives. It' s so sad to believe this hard truth but it's a fact which we seldom realize. Go to shopping and you will end up having more plastic than what you shop. But including me, I can only minimize the usage of plastic but cannot avoid it completely. The fact being that it has become so involved in our lives that we don't even realize that we are using it. Ok, now look at the alternatives you have, may be jute/cloth bags. Oh common, that's so expensive. And again more cloth bags mean more trees brought down and how is that?? I feel that there's a limit to any resource, wear n tear happens to almost anything, like our own body. So the question pops out, are we on the verge of loosing everything that we have ? Man tends to use the same thing again and again without realizing the quantity nature provides us. We tend to judge things based on the comfort level most of the times. And this reminds me, someone should be there to restrict the usage of things, which are half utilized already. And again someone should always find an alternative before we reach that half level, am I making sense? I hope! I hope I should become that someone who is wise and cautious enough of the things nature has in store for us..

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...
