Burn

That piece of desire,
Deep in my soul

Just needs a fire
To turn into gold

I,thus tell myself
Burn, Burn, and Burn!!

Underrated Pleasures :)

That catch of blood sucking mosquito

That timely hold of a falling cup

That final full stop at the end of a long thesis

That sweaty finish to daily workout

That compiling of the age old program

That first scoop of vanilla ice cream

That fragrance of the new book

That quick awareness of having longer hours to alarm

That moment when my baby sleeps :)

That window seat in a long journey

That bursting of bubbles in the wrapper

That small gap of time to relive your itchiness

That realization of a long weekend :)

That this list is never going to end

A Tale of Growth!!

"Growth",a very special term in a parent's dictionary, especially if they are new to nuisances of parenthood.I am one such parent who has the faintest idea about what to expect next in the life ?! Right from the day my girl was born, I always wanted to make sure she grows into a strong girl,immune to common diseases and always be active,to the extent that I become tired of answering her queries :)

I was happy that "N" used to have her food without much trouble.As long as she is full,she was happy and playing.Then the terrible-twos came by and my girl, "N" has become this stubborn lady who simply shouts "NO" to every kind of food we try to feed her with.I tried everything from rice-dal mixes to vegetable soups to fruit juices to milk to fish.I had exhausted every item in my list trying to feed her.Adding woes of being a working mother,I literally cried trying to make her eat anything at all.!! The lack of proper and nutritious food she became much more prone to common diseases like cold and fever which made our evening plans rather easier.Instead of going to a park to play,we started frequenting the medical clinics.And those medicines have made her appetite fly away into the clouds.

Sigh!

Not having any idea about what to do the next ,I on a whim bought Horlicks Growth +.I knew she would definitely say a big "NO" ,thus I gave a small spoonful of the same.You guessed it right,"N" spat it all out! Being a mother,your kid teaches you everything about being patient.I tried to give her a spoonful of the same next day.And after a couple of days, she came in and asked for a spoonful of "black Horlicks",in her cute little voice when I forgot about the same.She finally liked it.Slowly I tried to mix it up with milk and was able to feed her the same somehow!![No words to explain the process here].Anyways,the trick worked.Mama happy,Baby happy.She even named it as "Black Horlicks".Kids,I tell you!! Though I was apprehensive to give my girl anything which might sound artificial,I was more than happy that I could find something that can eventually make a way to her tummy and supplement her with the lost nutrients.I have seen that my girl has visibly become less tired and irritated.She now gets enthusiastically involved in various activities at her playschool.She learns,understands and try out new things at home as well.She also sleeps well and grown back to my old happy child :)

I already knew that steady and proper growth at the right time is a very crucial to the overall development of a child.A good plate of healthy and nutritious food in the early days of childhood helps kids grow into the later stage of life without any major lifestyle / health issues.But the most overwhelming task is in making kids eat the nutritious food which aid in their growth.The least we can do is to provide supplements as in the form of health drinks to the kids who refuse to eat a morsel of food in any other way.

And Horlicks Growth + is very much recommended product,right from my experience!

Cloud Art

I always had this thought,

" Clouds must be a very vast canvas of that strange artist who has got such talent to simply mould them into spectacular pieces of art.When the colours, hues from sunlight,water drops,ions in the sky are incorporated into them,Master pieces are born!!

And we are simply bound to be spell bounded by thou art! "

Bye Bye June...

Its another end-of-month and it also marks half of the year,2016.Its six moths,puff....I have no idea where did all the time,the months have gone by ?

  • June is very special.Since I already mentioned this.June marks the day which I will never forget in my entire life.It has changed my entire life.This day has helped me value things more deeply,helped me become more grateful about my life and also it made me realize time is indeed a healer to some extent.It helps you put things into perspective that you might never have thought of.

  • June also marks the first day of my lil girl play school.She is all grownup and is quite happy to go to school,much like me.And I love to hear all about her naughtiness when she is there :).Love you 'N' !!

  • And with June,the most amazing monsoon rains has arrived.And the first day is always like in the book "Chasing the Monsoons" :).Speaking of which,I was able to quickly read through the 4-book-a-month-Goodreads challenge,but the reviews of the same are pending here at the blog.


Yeah I know a lot of things have been pending here at my nook,well I promise to bring a change to them :)

July,Bring it On...!!

Monday Blues!!

aso_mb1

Being comfortable in your world is something,which we all yearn for.If that good day,could become every other day,we become so happy.But then being at the same place for so long that we cease to see ourselves elsewhere.That is difficult.Seeing the whole of your future mapped makes us feel bad instead of happy.Well at least for me.It offers no room for improvement.The same old routines make life, well lifeless.We become so engrossed in building the life, which feels alien to us and after a certain period of time we feel weak to be even able to take a decision to step away from your comfort zone!

Certainly stuck in this place and now,even taking the smallest decision to find something that interests me is so very difficult.Someone has quoted my mental state so accurately!

This quote is so profound!
