New Words in my Vocabulary #myfriendalexa

U know my daughter has a period in her school , called as DEAR period , which stands for

DROP  EVERYTHING  AND  READ 

It is held twice a week and i just love this concept. Everybody just drops any work he/she is doing and starts reading any book or magazine of choice.

Same was the case with  me   in the month of September 2017 under #Myfriendalexa. Daily  I was finding special time when i dropped everything and started to read others’ blogs . #Myfriendalexa gave a wide collection of   blogs based on different genres.  Reading these blogs  widened my mind’s thinking .

My daily DEAR time not only took me to different worlds( worlds of fiction, fantasy , recipes, travel ,……..and …….its a long list )  but also enhanced my vocabulary . I learnt many new words which i had never known about . I had to search for those words in the dictionary to understand what they mean.

So today let me  share some of the words that i recently  learnt . You may be already familiar with these but these words are new in my world.

1.  Camaraderie –a feeling of friendliness towards people that you work or share an experience with .

Wow , what a beautiful word it is ……Yes there is a tremendous sense of camaraderie when i read the posts of other bloggers and we reciprocate our feelings.

2.  Flawsome – Well this word is self devised , it is a combo of two words Flawless and Awesome. It indicates being awesome even with some of your flaws.

I  came to know of this word in Mayuri’s blog and i just loved it. It has made a special place in my heart , and i would definitely want to write a post on this awesome word Flawsome.

3.  Euphemism–  mild word or expression as a substitute to avoid  saying an unpleasant or offensive word.

4. Epitaph– a short piece of writing or a poem about a dead person , especially one written on their gravestone

5. Hitherto– until now or until the point in time under discussion

I wonder why this field of blogging was hitherto unknown to me .

6.  Prophesy-say that a specified thing will happen in the future .

7.  Guffaw-a loud and hearty laugh

8. Chide– speak to someone severely because they have behaved badly ; rebuke; उपदेश देना

9. Obstentatious– characterized by showy display ; designed to impress others ; दिखावटी

10. Rebellious– showing a desire to resist authority or control

I read a lovely story of a girl showing rebellious behaviour on Neha’s blog

Learning is a lifelong process. Hope  to keep learning many such new words from my blogger friends in the future.

Let’s DEAR

I am taking my alexa rank to next level with #myfriendalexa

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...

Zoozoozoo : A journey

 Today is Sunday ,  May 1st 2022 and yesterday i was invited to my daughter's school to witness a small function.  My daughter Suhani was born in 2007 and the day clearly flashes in front of my eyes when she got on to the auditorium stage for her first annual function during her LKG class . I had dressed her up in a beautiful purple frock . The auditorium echoed  with the sounds of claps as the team LKG stepped on to the stage and took their positions as couples . Their teacher had blushed  everyone's cheeks pink and golden. The song started 'Zoozoozoo......we welcome you ......' and the kiddos started twisting their hips and legs holding on to their partners . Awww...it was such an adorable performance that a mother couldn't control her tears .  Watching some  kids who forgot their dance steps and wanted to just run here and there on the stage was fun too !  Yesterday was the day when she again marched  on to the auditorium,  this time ...

Uplift your mood

 My evening today was not good . I was doing all domestic chores in a  burdened way. I tried watching some  movie but it couldn't interest me . One of my colleagues called to intimate me of  some upcoming duty. That further pressurized my bad  mood . I wore my shoes , put on my headphones and got ready for a walk . After walking for around half an hour and listening to old bollywood , my feet took me towards the splash pool where children were enjoying . I removed my shoes and sat there at the edge of the pool dipping my feet into the water. Watching me , one of my friends also came and sat along . Both of us sat for quite  long on the edge of pool - chatting and dabbling our toes in the water. This cooled my mind and uplifted my mood .  You need to find  your own ways to uplift your mood as and when required . Music , Dance ,Good food , Laughing , shopping ,picnic ,  playing any sport you like , painting , talking to someone , chanting a man...
