  I am asked by inner self, “What’s your New Year Resolution ?” I just nod my head and do wonder,  Let me think of the resolutions that are older. She laughed and told me to leave them, For setting up the new one and be a gem. I said I just want to be resilient, Wiser and more confident. Past year has taught me to not be an open book, It’s always better to be an aloof like a secret cook.  There is a lack of coordination between my mind and mouth, My Words come out totally different like the directions of North and South. I often do overthinking and 3 AM talks, It’s normal but only when done like the common walks. I wanna gain more confidence, And show others my reactions but with the extra sense. I am a pragmatic person but sometimes gets irritated, Yes , yes I know that it’s erroneous and frustrated. I wanna tick ✔️ all my bucket list, Life should be fascinating but not with the twist. I will make sure to have the clear words, And learn all the fruitful lessons like the ...

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...
