That little one

How priorities change..

After that one moment you stop thinking bout your self any more..

After that one moment you suddenly become so emotional ,that even  if that wonderful being cries a Lil u feel so hurt..

After that one moment that wonderful being becomes more important for your family than you..
Every time anybody calls u .. After hi hello they ask u if they can talk to your little one.. The parcels u receive from your parents and in laws are all bout stuff for that Lil munchkin!
Vidhi ( Tnm 1 mom)- 'Widout him toh mujhe mom ke ghar mein bhi entry allowed nahi hai..'

After that one moment your life goals and all those dreams ,you had , fade .. You start weaving new dreams with that joyful little being in it.

After that little one .. Your brain exercises so much thinking bout -what's good what's not and what's the best thing you can do for little one. Only if we used same exercised  brains in maths, we would have scored 100% in school.

And After that one moment.. You , unknowingly , shift surfing from ladies section to kids section..

These little angels make worth life living!

Newspapers these days

Reading newspaper has become difficult now a days. It should come with a warning probably: Not for week and emotional hearted people.

First page of Mumbai mirror can make you tremble .. 'A three year old sexually abused by a bus driver'
Third page can give you goose bumps reading bout how hospital goofed up with blood group and women is serious.
Some more pages u turn , u read a girl raped by journalist. Another page a school boy crushed under school bus. Next, a girl 2 years old went missing last year. Police now caught the guy who confessed of raping her and killing her cause she was crying a lot.

'Life' the very powerful word is somewhere being taken for granted.

Its a horror to even think and read more bout those stories mentioned in the newspaper.
It was a total blackout when I read 2 year old and 3 year old girls news.

But national news section was still left..
Jammu and Kashmir floods.
The headlines is enough to make u feel sad and depressed. I was moved by one line mentioned by chembur resident who went to jammu to attend some wedding and decided to have a small vacation there . -- there were about 10,000 ppl waiting to be airlifted. It was a complete chaos with everyone wanting to be out at earliest. A one and a half day wait for 10 minute chopper ride was minimum.

Those who are no more with us!

Those who are gone .. Were so close.. Those who are gone .. Were such warm beings..
They are remembered every now and then so much ... Sometimes am lost for long if no one intervenes..
They are always in our memories and yes  they are still so green..
Tears roll down every now and then when you are remembered and of those memories..

Karwachauth 11.10.14

Karwachauth  ..
so much hoo hallaa has been happening since now its so easy to share your painful/excitining views bout keeping a day long fast for your husbands. All thanks to social media and Mr. WhatsApp for allowing those 'all ladies' groups to make plans for THE day. This time karwachauth is more special as herd some women talking .. ' apki baar Saturday hai yaar.. Husband bachon KO sambhal lenge .. Chal NA party kartey hai ,movie jaatey hai' .From plans to have a little get together to movie outings are been made ..pre karwachauth parties and Mehendi get togethers are in full swing!
Husbands are  also playing safe by keeping quite bout all that Moolah being spent on expensive dresses then matching shoes and all those accessories .. Cause they know Any shor sharaaba to point out about kharcha right now means at least ..bare minimum a diamond pendant set here ..so its better to be shush than sorry.

After ’ mai toh nirjala vrat rakhnti hoon, mar jaaongi kal mai acidity sey, bus kuch nahi chahiyeh .. Ek boond paani pee loo '  stories all day and so much fun and hungamaa -That time arrives when you are waiting for moon to come .. That better half looks more tensed, as if he has been in our shoes since morning. That little worried face asking our little one to switch on the TV and puts news channel to get perfect lunar status .. Peeping out of window, doing 'n'th number of trips to garden to see if Mr. Moon has come..
And when moon comes he seems to be more excited than us. That expression of little kid faced hubby baby who comes jumping and hopping to you to complete the Pooja and have food.. Hmm.. Simply adorable.

That feeling to have a friend..

Do u remember that time when u shifted to bhakti park?
Every thing was new. You had no friends and no one to talk to. Then you use to call your best phone buddy 'your mom' to talk and tell everything you did in the day. Your mom never got bored and you continued. Till you stepped out. You stepped out to make some friends, to talk to a different soul with body other than your husband and bai's. U noticed a lady almost daily and use to think
'should I say hi? '
'will she think am despo'
'What will I talk?'
And out of that major itch to make friends you finally reached out to that lady one fine day and said 'hi' ..
N since then u got, at least, smone to talk n meet daily..

Y let ego come in between?
Y feel that the other person should 'come n say hi, why should I say?'
Y not help those who are new to bhakti park know more bout it n feel comfortable.

Reach out to ppl next door.. Neighbors are very important in times of emergency. Your relatives who stay away from your home will take more time to reach than your neighbours.

Feel free and break the ice!
