 Hello All, It was so much fun yesterday. I think best time spend with my little one and husband. I was planning to bake a cake for a very long time in the microwave. But for the fast years, I had not gone through the recipe and was just postponing it as I was too busy with my daily work. But then, yesterday, husband darling got into the mood of making ice - cream for my daughter. I was just giving them the beater and teaching them how to use it. Then, looking at my daughter's face, I thought - "well! its getting postponed from quite a few years. let me try it out again." When I told her, "Guess What!!! Mummy is going to bake a cake for all of us especially for you." Her face just lit up. That moment I wouldn't be able to describe in words. It was finally the moment arrived. I made a simple sponge cake which all of us relished. It was just yummmm. A quiet evening but an eventful. The joy of baking which had vanished somewhere, came back to me after many  man...

Entering into a classroom full of students who are inquisitive, bright and smart, it becomes x times tougher for a professor to teach. It is not just the concepts but also the knowledge needs to be UpToDate and sharpened like the tip of a pencil. The students should never feel bored or sleepy. They should be given a feeling that you are safe and in the right place. I treat students like my own child. We give our children the best of everything and at the same time correct their mistakes whenever and wherever possible. So, as a professor  it is my duty and responsibility to learn and teach the children as accurately as possible and help them understand the difference between right and wrong.  This profession has helped me a become better person day on day.  You have to be well prepared otherwise the students start doubting your capabilities and the trust breaks. Teaching is not just about presenting from one side and listening from the other side. It is about interaction. ...

As a child, I used to play games with my siblings and friends and used to be school teacher for them. Draping a shawl borrowed from my mother's wardrobe, Closing the room, I used to grab my mother's economics book and read it. I was just 7 years old then.  I used stand in front of my little brother or sometimes no one , I used to hold a pencil and teach an empty room - the subject of economics. At that time, I never had any ambitions. It was just 'teacher - teacher' game.  As I started growing up, my friends started showing keen interest in science stream as there  was IT boom in that period. My relatives all around were encouraging their children to take up either the field of medical or engineering. As this trend continued, so did the emergence of coaching classes in various forms. But I had different idea. My parents never coerced me in taking a particular specialization. They completely left it to me and this was which I am very much thankful to them. After compl...

The elections concluded with much grandeur and the results were awaited with baited breath by all. The toppers looked upon it as achieving All India Rank with record numbers while others saw it as  an opportunity to gain lost ground. It was a very well fought election from the both sides. The voters were offered different kinds of promises. Five years ago it was the slogan of 'Ayega toh Modi hi' which everyone knew that it was the writing on the wall any which ways. But this time around the BJP went a little overboard with its slogan ' Abki baar 400 Paar'. This slogan echoed the confidence of the party but somewhere it bought some kind of apprehension among the voters which the opposition was trying to instill.  The media diverted its attention towards the numbers but the opposition saw this as an opportunity to create anxiety among the voters that this kind of power will put democracy in danger. The carrying of the constitution everywhere and putting it in display and ...

The elections in India are held like a festival. Every place from hotels to parks to small shops, every person talks about politics. Let it be if not who is coming to power but at least you will get some idea during a conversation that who will be shown the door by the people of this country. This time in most of the news channels, the anchors and a few analysts spoke about the chances the opposition might be having as there is an anti incumbency mood among the people of the country. Some people even said that people are bored with the face of Modi. They are looking for a change. People must have got what they had wanted. Now they are looking for a change. There is no wave like it was visible in 2014 or any sort of Nationalistic wave like it was after Pulwama in 2019. The Ram Mandir wave is not much except in a few places.  This was the general feeling. Even I had the same impression. But the day I went to vote, I saw a long line in my booth where normally that is not the scene and...

  Marriage is considered to be a sacred institution. When children come in the picture, the bond gets even more stronger between the partners. Their entire attention shifts on to the kid and they try to give best of the best to their children. But in today's world, most of the parents complain about one thing and it is about children not listening to them or not respecting them enough from a very young age. It sounds weird. But yes, I have heard many saying "Oh God! I used to listen to my dad and never ask a question on his decisions." Now God only knows how true is that. But anyway, sometimes children are often spoilt by the parents unknowingly. Children are like flowers. If taken are care of, they blossom otherwise wither away. Here can be some of the reasons why children do not listen or respond to parents: 1. Parents do not give them attention: Children want their parents to listen to what they are saying or watch and appreciate what they are doing. All of us love t...

  How to be different from others 1. Make decisions on your own and stick to them. Listen to the discussions going on around you. Be a good listener but go ahead with what you feel is right and make your own decision. Do not depend on others for the choices you make and be proud and hold yourself responsible for whatever choices you make. 2. Be honest to yourself. Never lie to yourself. Do not try to emulate others. Just be yourself and be proud of who you are. One should be honest not just to others but also to oneself as you yourself are answerable to your conscious  at the end of the day. 3. Accept your flaws. Not everyone is perfect. We are all humans, not superhumans or God. We must admit to ourselves the flaws that we have and try to work on improving ourselves. Don't try to act as a perfect person as it leads to being dishonest and displaying your artificial self out there in the society and to yourself. 4. Respect Yourself. Learn to adore and respect yourself. God has ...

How good a 'Strategy' was for Rahul Gandhi to not contest from Amethi, his bastion. The General Elections - 2024 The 2024 general elections in India has not just sprung surprises in the form of candidates but also the political parties are serving all kinds of dishes in various forms to the people to show how good is one compared to the other. The elections are indeed a festival for the people of the country with every nook and corner of the country decorated with different flags of the political parties, the posters and cut outs of the party leaders. Every citizen discusses about the politics that one observe on television or read in newspapers but is smart enough not to open his or her pack of cards.   The Seat Fight The entire country knows from where the Prime Minister will fight the elections but everyone in the country was waiting to know which place will  Mr. Rahul Gandhi contest from. As the phase 1 and 2 got over, the media was asking just one question  - "W...

How To Stay Motivated Everyday "Life Doesn't Allow Us To Go Back And Fix What  We Have Done Wrong In The Past, But It Does Allow For Us To Live Each Day Better, Than Our Last."    - Gautam Buddha We are all human beings. All of us have good and bad days. We all want to enjoy, spend time with our family. One bad day, can sometimes, ruin the little happy moments which we had gathered throughout the day. Life is not very easy. But we have to go on. Move on. Embrace life as it is and Change. The sun comes up everyday. Each and everyday brings with it new hopes and gives us a chance to live our dreams. Even if yesterday was a bad day, a wise person leaves behind the past and builds a resolve to move ahead.  Why Is It Necessary To Stay Motivated? If we get bogged down by looking at the lows in our life, we will never be able to stand again. The lesson that I have learnt from children is that no matter what just go on. Do not allow any person or circumstance demotivate you....

    "A Mother's arms are more comforting than anyone else's". - Princess Diana This post is for not only for all the new mothers but also for all the moms who juggle with work, children and personal space for themselves.  Being a mother is a boon which God has bestowed on us. Carrying a life inside our bodies and then giving birth to that beautiful, little life is indeed a blessing. I can say all this from the wonderful experience of being a mother.  Our bodies transform, undergo changes after being a mother. It takes us a few months to get into the normal hustle - bustle of our life. We happily embrace sleepless nights, heaps of laundry, and brains being attentive to just one small little creation - 'our baby'. But, the reward is precious -   million dollar smile, warm snuggles, love and warmth from the little ones. Finding time from the daily routine gets tougher as each day passes through. The 'Me Time' vanishes in thin air. Our bodies require a lot...

 In our speech, sometimes, casually we say, "hey use your brain . " Sometimes, when being forgetful, ask ourselves, "have I forgotten something?"  Brain is a storeroom of memories, powerhouse of intelligence, architect of our creativity, adviser to our body and its movements, analyst of our senses and source of our emotions.  It contains a depository of memories right from our childhood to present and continues to save it all, till the we exist. We study and play as children, work when we are adults, pursue our hobbies, etc. For performing all these tasks, our brain needs to remain sharp and attentive. These abilities of the brain helps us in executing our actions to perfection.   It is necessary for all of us to sharpen our memory power and boost the functioning of our brain. As we age, it doesn't remain as sharp as it used to be in the past. Instead of complaining about old age, start right from your hay days to program your skills. I hope all of you will find...

 Success is something which everyone craves for. But no one actually knows, how to define it. It is defined in various terms by the people we meet or live with. At each step, right from childhood to any point in life, we see or listen to different versions of leading a successful life. We often look at famous people and define it in those terms. At other times, we watch it through the lens of rich people, that is, in monetary terms. There are different versions and also various means of achieving it.  From what I have gathered and observed around, I see it when we live life in our own terms with no compromises. No lectures on this but yes some hacks: 1. Love Yourself: This is the most important thing in life which we all forget while leading this busy life. We care for others but stop taking care of ourselves. We tend to look after our needs but often forget that we will life and enjoy it only when we love ourselves. So stop cribbing about the dont's and look at the things y...

Hey Everyone, It has been a while since I blogged. It is always good to be back and keep writing. Writing is something which makes me happy and feel lighter. Of course, the time that I spend with my little one is the most precious of them all. A sense of pleasure engrosses me when I blog or write. So, let me share with you the movie that I watched which was really good - Enola Holmes on Netflix.   As matter of fact, first, I watched the Enola Holmes 2 . I don’t know why I did that, but it was fun, Then I went on to watch the first part – reverse gear. Hahaha. I have been a fan of Mr. Sherlock Holmes. Who wouldn’t be?? I am a fan of Late Mr. Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes and really think he made justice to the character that we all love the most. The name ‘Holmes’ has to make waves and it did. Enola Holmes is the youngest of the siblings and has all the wits and intelligence of Mr. Sherlock Holmes. But she has to prove herself. Jump into the world and make a mark. And Yes, S...

  Hey everyone, How are you all? I am back!!!! That too after a really long long break. I do not know how to express myself after all these days. I am delighted to be back but sometimes I really wonder that if I have any readers at all. I hope there is at least somebody out there reading my blog. I am sure. Anyway, dear friends, today I am bringing to you one of my personal favorites, a movie which really touched my heart.   This movie talks about how the domestic help, who were know as The Help, in the 1960s America were treated by white people for whom they used to work.   This movie is a 2011 release based on the 2009 novel which goes by the same name – The Help. The story revolves around how two maids Aibileen and Minny agree to share their experiences with Skeeter, an aspiring white author who is the best friend of Elizabeth and Hilly, who are the employers of these town maids are hail from extremely high society. Aibileen imbibes good value in Elizabeth’s child,...

  Hey Everyone, Today I want to bring to you a movie which will revive our fighter spirit in this pandemic period. In today’s day and age where information spreads (true or fake) faster than fire. Looking at all this both on social media as well as on news channels people’s mental health is affected vastly as there are curbs being imposed by the respective governments on our independence, let it be in any country. This pandemic has taken a toll not just on physical well - being but also on mental being. Not just that it has also impacted severely the relationships among people. But let us look at it in a different way. Let us go back in history when that is during the late 1930s. When one person tried to wipe out an entire community from the planet. People were marked, identified, coerced out of their homes, called names, and thrown in ghettos and then God knows what happened. Families were wiped out. Young children, Infants, Old and unhealthy were the most vulnerable of them...

Namaste to all of you, What is ‘OM’? In Hinduism, OM is chanted almost in every mantra or stotra or divine recitation. It is part and parcel of the culture not just in Hinduism but also in Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism. This word is not particularly attached to any religion but is considered the sound of the universe. Hinduism teaches that there is divine presence in every living being. This word however brings people together.  When said collectively it connects our inner divine soul to the other person’s divinity. As it chimes with the universe in which we live, it connects all the living things or beings to the nature and to the universe. This is my personal experience when I had started attending yoga classes. The best part is that the recital of OM can be done either silently or even done while practicing Pranayams. Benefits of OM: I have had immense benefits after I started reciting this daily while practicing yoga. I have the habit of chanting various mantras every d...

  Hey everyone, I am glad to be back after almost two weeks now. These weeks I was a bit busy with my personal life and therefore was unable to concentrate on my blog. Anyway, now I am free and ready to blog. My husband is a food lover and I love cooking for him delicious recipes. I explore and experiment with my food and trust me sometimes everything goes haywire. But most of the times it comes out flavorful and mouth -watering. I would say ‘Yum’. That is what my dear husband says to me. Mind you, even if it is not so appetizing, my husband eats without any complaints. I love him for that. My weakness for food and fondness for blogging inclined me towards watching a movie which I just loved watching and now I have added it to my favorite list. The film that I was talking about Julie and Julia - is a 2009 release starring Meryl Streep and Amy Jackson in the lead roles. Both ladies come from different generations, but their lives are intertwined by their passion for cooking. Ju...
