You can do this Mothers

To all Mothers..
How many times in a day you think that you can't do a certain thing but you find yourself doing that? As a mother, we all presume many things impossible at the very first moment but then we get ourselves indulge into it somehow. No matter if that work is hard or easy, sad or enjoying, we do it.. even after thinking that we can't do this. Here are some of things we, mother think we can't do but we actually do in our lives:
1. "I can't carry this" says the woman before conceiving her baby and thinking it's the biggest responsibility of the world. But later SHE carries this responsibility with full of her heart and becomes the life-line of her kids.
2. "I can't face this" says the pregnant woman, hearing shouting and crying of other woman in labour. But SHE faces it when her time comes and encourages other mothers to stand up to it with strong will power.
3. "I can't do this anymore" says the would-be mother suffering painful contractions inside the labour room. But SHE welcomes her babies in this world bearing that intense pain and she loves them the most.
4. "I don't think I can do this" says the woman leaving her baby as she goes back to work. But SHE goes to office every day and tries to prove herself as the best mother with balancing work and family.
5. "I can't deal with it" says the mother of the defiant toddler or teenager dealing with rigid tantrums. But SHE loves her kids’ unconditionally in-spite they give her tough time to face.
6. "I don't think I can see this" says the mother who watches her baby drive off for the first time without her. But SHE develops confidence over her baby and encourages him/her with the biggest smile of the world.
7. "I can't live this way” says the mother who helps her baby send off the application for the college which is far away from her place. But SHE sends her baby out for studies and wish for his/her brightest future.
8. "I don't think I can do this" says the mother who takes a look at the proposal photograph of her daughter. But SHE dreams about the wonderful married life of her daughter and let this separation happen after her daughter got married.
9. "I don't think I can see this" says the mother who gives her son to his new bride. But SHE accepts this new relationship of her son's life and retires from the job of worrying about what his son would eat/wear any other day.
10. And "I don't think I can do this" says the woman who gives her child up for adoption. But SHE accepts this parting for the good of her child's life and tries to present herself as the toughest woman of the earth. 
I hope you agree with me that just when we, mothers, thought we couldn't, just when we were sure that there was no way we ever could, we discover that we had it and we did it. Because we have blessing of being MOTHERS. There are many other such moments when a mother thinks she can't this or that but her "I don't think I can do this" always has a hidden “But I will do this" appended.
So just when you are sure that you can't handle it, that it's too tough for you, that you're not strong enough or equipped to face it, remember that you were never designed to do it alone. You have all those women with you who are mothers and have faced such spells. You would find them saying collectively "Go ahead…You can do this".

My 'Invisible' Accomplishments #DecadeHop #RRxMM

As we entered 2020, through this post I am trying to contemplate the coolest, most daring, and most significant feats of my life during the last decade. Now the more I regress my memory, the more I feel there are two types of achievements or accomplishments that I can ponder upon; Visible and Invisible. Visible ones are those that I can count on my finger like a parrot and others can nod also. I got specs on, married to a not-so-romantic man, produced a baby, started writing and added good 17 kgs in my body volume (I was 50 in 2011). However, there are many invisible accomplishments too that either I know silently or very few can assert. From 2011 to 2019, Who am I now From a coy soul to now an outspoken woman, the trek was not easy. I achieved it. From being a no-makeup girl to now a lipstick swatches observer, the transition was tough. But it happened. And from being a sweet hater to now a sweet lover, the change was mysterious yet occurred. And now I can die for Gulab Jamuns....

Cheap vs.Expensive Bottled Water-The Cost of What is Free & Essential

If I ask you when you last bought packaged drinking water last, I am sure you would not count it from long ago. Obviously, because gone are the days when we used to count water as a free goodie from nature for all of us. We now buy this essential for life thing in various amount as per our needs.  Be it a shopping mall or an amusement park, hospital or restaurant, travel time or even at home we pay for our drinking water. During Durgapuja festival I had to buy drinking water from many places which made me notice how the price of the same drinking water changes from one shop to another. Buying a one-liter bottle of a reliable brand from a general store cost me Rs. 20, while the same brand bottle of an equal amount of water filled inside a pizza hut store cost me RS. 50 on the same day. The last bottle that I had bought was left in the car parked outside and I felt thirsty again while waiting for my ordered pizza. This made me ask for water at the cash counter where the person o...

Vibhu and Web Series - Gullak is a cheering story

After watching Panchayat , I was again on a hunt for another web series that Vibhu (my 7-year-old boy) can also enjoy. Luckily I found one. It was again a neat and uncomplicated one. No abusive language, no inappropriate talks, and full of comedy, it was really fun to watch " Gullak " with Vibhu. Set in a small town in North India, this web series is about a middle-class Mishra family and their day-to-day struggles. Being a 90s kid, I have seen the craze for clay piggy banks, typically called Gullak. Be it any fair or festival, buying a clay piggy bank was a custom in families of North India (UP) during the early 90s. The Series is named Gullak as in the show, a clay piggy bank, is the narrator of the plot. The Mishra family includes a giving husband, Santosh Mishra; a sarcastically speaking wife, Shanti Mishra; and their two sons. Then there are nagging neighbors, demanding relatives, everyday life struggles, and lots of humor with all. The performance by everyone in the ca...
