My BIGGEST RESOURCE / JEWEL OF MY LIFE 

What is a resource ? It is the source of supply, support or aid that can be readily drawn upon when needed. My biggest resource is my DAD , I treasure him .Professionally , he has worked as a college professor all his life and now he enjoys his retired life.   He is the one I can look forward to for any kind of support I ever need . He is the best person God has sent in my life . Out of love , I sometimes call him POPSY. He is my real hero .

DAD is my biggest resource of  inspiration and positivity
Since childhood , he has always inspired me in all walks of life . He knew about my strengths better than me . He always has in mind , lot of inspiring excerpts of great persons which he quotes to motivate us.  My DAD has inculcated many qualities in me for which I will always be thankful.

DAD is my resource of money 
Haha , my DAD  is the the one to whom I can go anytime for quick money. He is my all time ATM. My bank accounts may be empty but this ATM always dispenses cash.
DAD is a resource of large collection of books 
POPSY is a literature man. He has a huge collection of many kind of books , books on mythology, history, homeopathy, some great biographies ,etc .He has a deep love for short stories and he owns short stories  in English, Hindi, Punjabi n Urdu languages .  He has lot many dictionaries and thesaurus too , which are his treasure . Occasionally he spends hours on a bookshop to decide just a small book for himself.
DAD is a resource of songs and jokes 

Although not taken any professional training , DAD sings very well . He can play Casio, Tabla , Daphli , which he learnt on his own . He gets lot of applauds when he sometimes sings among his friends. He remembers lot of old hindi songs and is always eager to sing , waiting for somebody to just prompt him once . He loves to tell jokes too for which he has even maintained a diary. I just love him when  he  himself says it many times ” Main ek joke sunata hun tumhe ”

Jewel of my life-MY DAD

DAD is my asset.  He is the jewel of my heart, my life.  Few years ago , on Fathers day , I had penned my heartfelt emotions  about him on a chart paper, got it framed and gifted him . That emotions’  frame has all the mentions of his qualities , our beautiful times spent or my deep love for him . The pics in this post are glimpses of that emotions’ frame.

I wish I could have a time machine, go back to my childhood times,  I  hold DAD’s finger with my little hand  and when it’s time to enter the world of dreams, I rest my head on his shoulder , arm embracing him tight, listening to a fairytale from him .

A letter to my Kitchen

 Being a woman i also spend lot of time in my kitchen whether full heartedly , half heartedly or not at all heartedly . But in any case i have to go in my kitchen off and on . Today I feel like writing a letter to my kitchen. Dear Kitchen    Hope you are living a fulfilling life with all your jars filled to the brim with wheat , rice , pulses , sugar , tea ,coffee and cookies . I also hope that your sinks are now empty and clean unlike the last month when maid was on leave . Those days ,your sinks used to be piled up with utensils and it stinked so badly .  Dear kitchen , it's been around seventeen years that i am taking care of you . Now you are grown up as a teenager and so you should learn to be responsible and maintain your hygiene .  It feels good when my family agrees on khichdi and your cooker does the job   in  just one whistle . But you just don't cooperate when they demand Chole Bhature and you also start giving me tantrums . Remember ho...

Test Yourself with 10 Random questions

It's good to analyze yourself to  know about your positive points as well your limitations So why not take a random  test today ?   Here are some questions which you should try to answer to yourself only and i request you to do it mindfully. 1. How are you feeling today ? Energetic , Stagnant or bored ? 2. Right now , are you thinking about today , yesterday or tomorrow ?  Remember today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday . Yesterday is gone . That was past . Learn from your past but don't let the past disturb you in the present or hinder your growth in the future . 3. In the past few days did you talk something good about yourself ? Daily you talk a lot about others but do you talk about yourself too ? Sometimes we  have a tendency not to boast or talk good about ourselves even when we have accomplished something . The way you talk about yourself makes an impact. Always speak  empowering words about yourself, "Whenever you think of beautiful ...

Why do I write ?

 I have been writing a blog for the last five years and many times people question me why do i write . Well ! I don't have an exact answer . But whenever someone has asked me this question ' Why do you write ?' i have answered in the form of some question only like 'Why do you go shopping ?' or 'Why do you love to  go  on vacation?'  Actually the basic answer is that it feels good . It makes me happy , contented and also a little proud of myself . The feeling when i boasted about being an author is incomparable . May be you don't read me but I keep writing for myself - to reflect on my life experiences and learn from them. Earlier i used to feel depressed when people didn't read me but now it's just between me and my blog . Writing  helps me connect to my creative side and helps increase my vocabulary also. Writing provides an escape when reality becomes too complex. I like to write because it allows me to focus on a subject  and helps me relieve...
