When a choice turns into a mandatory thing:                                                                    You know, the greatest happiness is living your life the way you desire. I feel happiest when I dress up as I want. But women in India are expected to live in obeying all the illogical regulations. I often hear these phrases and I hate them - "Beta, you should wear a headscarf in front of elders, you are married", "Where are your symbols of marriage (Bindi, bangles, vermilion, anklets) ?"  . .Uff ! .....                                                                                        ...

ME: Hey Siri! What is the meaning of an Angel? SIRI: An Angel means, a spiritual being believed to act as       an attendant, agent or messenger of God       represented in human form.    .    .    Wait wait, did you just describe my husband?     Yes, he is MY angel. We met when I was stuck in a swamp and the funny part was that I didn’t know this. Destiny made us meet and what would I be doing if God hadn’t sent him?     Phases that we faced were terrible but here we are, celebrating our happily lived 3 years of marriage. So, in honour of our 3rd anniversary, I am portraying to you a “couple of things” about us.       Most people accept and love their partner after watching the positive side but HE loved and accepted me regardless of my flaws and my worst behaviour towards him. He never gave up on me. Otherwise, it is too hard to handle me sometimes.        ...

Dear Tejal,             Happiest first birthday little love. I can’t keep calm because it’s your dayyyyyyyy 🥳 . I wonder how fast these 12 months flew by. When I close my eyes, I find myself waiting in the OT for you to come out into this strange but beautiful world. It feels like yesterday. I don’t know how fast a year has passed since I took care of you, prepared meals for you, fed you, gave you massages, bathed you, nursed you, sang lullabies for you, laughed with you, listened to your giggles, and loved you.            When you turned 6 months old, I started making food for you and feeding you. I never thought it would have been so exciting and satisfying. Now I have realised that a bathed, dressed, and fed child gives the best feeling to every mother.           I remember the moments when you reached your milestones. Be it rolling over, sitting without support, grabbing a thing for the first...

 Dear Daughter,        Today you have turned 6 months old, half a year. Oh God ! time flies in the blink of an eye. I find myself  wondering where the 6 months have gone. Your clothes are telling me how grown you are.          This monthly birthday is special because you are gonna have your first food. I promise you, my child, I will always take care of your diet and try to offer you the best. Since I am a human, in the last 6 months, I made various blunders but learned a lot. I will try not to repeat them.           I remember that when you were born, you were my photocopy and now you have started looking like your father too. :) You used to wake up late at night. He used to sing lullabies for you to make you sleep in his arms and he used to sleep at the office then. LOL 😆 I used to call you “Rotumal and sotumal” because most of the time you used to sleep and cry only.        ...

      Bonjour lovely people :)      It took a long for me to put my childbirth story here, as my little princess keeps me busy. She is sleeping right now. So let’s start.       I will keep it raw and simple as I did in my last post “ My Bump Story ”. I hope you guys loved that. So, the day I got pregnant, I was pretty sure to have normal delivery as the elders suggest it too. I did my research, watched videos about exercise for vaginal delivery, and discussed with my husband the labor pain because I was terrified as we all know that labor pain is intense.         Bed rest was given by the doctor since the 5.5th month. That’s why I couldn’t do exercises for encouraging normal delivery. I started sweating during the 9th month. I did yoga, sitting mopping, brisk walking, chakki, climbing stairs multiple times, and house chores additionally.        But my baby didn’t like the vaginal passage ...

Namaste readers 🙏🏻 I am Richa who loves to read love stories. Loves to play chess, doesn’t matter I lose most of the time. Ludo and sudoku are also favourites. I am a Bollywood fan and quite filmy in real life as well. Anyways, I am gonna share my Pregnancy Journey with you guys. I will keep this raw and honest. So let’s start 🙂 . . 20-10-2021                   This day I saw the two magical lines which meant I was tested positive at home. Well, I was beset with mixed feelings. I was happy but at the same time, filled with trepidation. On the other side, Tarun was happy (Obviously, boys don’t have to face the drastic changes in the body ..LOL). Although, we both had been planning for this day. It’s just that I was nervous about the future changes in my life.                      After two-three days I became normal and happy without any doubts in my chaotic mind as my husband assu...

              The connection between Life and Problems is indefinite. My mother always says that if you cry out loud over the problems of your life then you can not be able to find the solution. Instead, calm down and think. Do not let go Patience out of you.            I felt that if you are happy from the inside then you naturally look pretty and fit outside. They say happy people are the prettiest people. I agree. Life gives you little things to laugh, to smile, to adore (Oh ! have you watched the "Little Things" series on Netflix ??). A few days ago, I watched a movie named, "The pursuit of happyness", starring Will Smith as Chris Gardner. It shows the real side of Life and it is based on a true story of a homeless, single father. You should watch this movie because it teaches you 3F and 2S i.e. family, faith, failure, struggle and success.           I am not aware of yours but I am surely go...

1- Track your Habits :

I wonder how our desires are never contented.  Comparison is the main reason for being dejected.  Clearly, humans are not designed to be satisfied.  Once grown, desires started multiplied .  We always wanted to snatch the spare time out of our mundane life. But when we find it, we want to place the apple back on the same knife .  New desire takes  birth after one need fulfills.  Hey, do you know the difference between the mountains and the hills? (Sorry, Suddenly remembered “ Geet ” of Jab We Met) Corona made us realize the value of life and time . Meanwhile, be a harmony of someone’s life just like the peaceful sound of a wind chime . They say we are lucky to have a human birth. So, celebrate the amazing variety of natural world and our planet earth .                        

                It's Sunday and I am stuck in my office. Why? Because of the stupid, horrified, infuriated CORONA VIRUS. You know what, increasing cases of infection  is directly proportional to the increasing workload in our office. Why? Because we work in Government administration. Clearly, the command is in the government's hands. Although, I am not having so much work right now but still have to sit in front of my computer. Why? Because anytime you can be called for the work. (Frustrated)                       This virus has already snatched our fun. Especially, wedding for which we were so excited to attend.                     Anyways, it's been so long to meet you guys via my words. As you know now I am a married woman. If you haven't go through my wedding blog then click here to know about my lockdown wedding including some t...

  Hey guys, this time I am bringing a very hot topic.  I watched some "What's in my bag" videos, so I thought why don't I write a blog about this. It would be fun.                        If you have watched this episode of "Coffee with Karan" then you can relate it with yourself as I do.  Yes,  I do consider two compartments in a Bag. I do consider the back and front pockets in a Bag. I do consider the space in a bag so that my lunch box can be fitted easily (are bhai kaahe do-do bags office lekar Jaana). Okay, let's start. Firstly, I keep my wallet in which the paper money and coins reside. I also want my wallet very spacious and comfortable enough to take out the money from it.   Well, only cash does not need a cozy place to reside, our phone charger and earphones demand the same too.  I often notice people put their earphones and charger in a very messy manner. You know what, it would...
