Perfect Sunday - bake a cake and homemade ice-cream

 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...

What is the reason that BJP couldn't touch the magic number of 272?

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 ...

Do the Exit polls 2024 show that there was a wave in favor of Narendra Modi???

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...

Why do parents of today's generation have a feeling that children don't respect or listen to them

Image
  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 or unique from others

Image
  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 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....

Easy Yoga Poses After Pregnancy for New Mothers

    "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...
