Life is awesome and it’s so easy for us to forget that.

Since last two days, my phone is behaving dumbly. Because of the arrival of 'Data Giri' in the market, suddenly phone network in my locality has gone absolutely poor. So being home I can't call anyone and obviously no one reaches me, at least through the phone. The same problem my husband is also facing. He works from home and phone communication is really important for him. We are getting irritated as we are not able to talk anyone since last few days. The day before yesterday, I was thinking what a loss it is that I can't call anyone, I am not able to check my parents and I felt I should buy one more SIM now.
Today morning when I was having my breakfast and checking different news websites, I came across an utterly thinkable topic. Are women really feel less about themselves all the time, no matter how much they have in their lives? I can't say this applies to all the women of this world. But yes, I have a tendency of thinking about any bad thing more than cherishing good things in my life. Like I was madly thinking about the network issue in my cell phone as if this is the only important thing I have in my life. Yes, yes, yes, I think as I stare at the kitchen that it’s so unmanaged. I find my house strangely and poorly organized and I always want to buy more furniture. In each area of my life, I always want more.
We actually live in an age of more. Nothing ever seems enough. Simple things are never enough. When we reach one milestone, we set the next goal. We never seem to be happy with ENOUGH. We need to buy more, do more, have more. But the truth is I have enough. I have a beautiful family, no water, and electricity problems at home, all required electronic appliances there and enough money to survive. I have a roof over my head, a bed to sleep in and the luxury of sufficient good. I am also blessed to have supportive friends and neighbors. My husband and I have jobs that allow me to get everything for my family. I get to do what I love doing at home. And I am so grateful for having enough. Sometimes I just need this reminder. Some days I would probably feel that it’s not that amazing because I get caught up in the clouds of more, more stuff, more things and more money. But IT IS amazing. Life is awesome and it’s so easy for us to forget that.
I am not saying we should ignore our problems. Of course, I want my cell phone issue fixed. But I want to change my approach towards problems. If I am not able to call anyone being home, it has its own advantages. I am feeling more love and concerns for my family because I am somehow disconnected like those days when we had less or no phones. And I have ENOUGH resources to connect to them in alternate ways.  you see We all have ENOUGH in our lives, but we occasionally need this reminder too. I have just given this much-needed reminder to myself!

My 'Invisible' Accomplishments #DecadeHop #RRxMM

By
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

By
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

By
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...
