Come April and the month long blogging festival #AtoZChallenge2018 begins.  My theme for this challenge is # Astitva in which I would be sharing many aspects of a woman’s existence . I would be sharing my thoughts combined with some fiction which form  part of our surroundings . The alphabet of the day is A . A stands for :  ABUSE Abuses are wounds that may not show up on the body but are deeper and more hurtful than anything else . Why is this word ‘Abuse’ more specifically linked with women ? A piece of fiction on Abuse     Above is the pic I choose to write about ABUSE. Reena was a psychologist who was working as a counsellor in a multinational company . All the company employees and her friends too always approached her with their problems and every time , she resolved them with love and concern . Her positive attitude was always talked of in the office and it definitely helped maintain a healthy atmosphere in the office . But at her home , the psycholog...

I wanted to write about the things I have learned or loved about #superbloggerchallenge2018 as  yet .Oh ! For my nonblogger friends , let me tell you that #superbloggerchallenge2018 is a 10 week long blogging challenge in which I am participating .  The challenge has reached halfway and 6th week has started . This challenge is co-hosted by three wonderful bloggers , Dr Amrita , Dr Bushra and  Foodietweeter Uttpal Krushna . My connection with Dr Amrita started with # MMM . She is an avid reader with her love for her  balcony  garden. I feel connected with her through her blog healthwealthbridge where she keeps posting about various health issues or blogging secrets or parenting tips . I sometimes feel very surprised how she manages to take out time for blogging too after her tiring  Doctor routine . The second host  is Dr Bushra who blogs all about a woman -health , beauty  , food or lifestyle . I love her advice of talking practical in one’s blog and not just adding another the...

The last few days ate my brain checking the exam papers in the school , with hardly any time for my dear Alubhujia .  Now when the school result is almost compiled up , here I am back again ready to roll up sleeves for the upcoming blogging challenge . The month of April is very near and I am participating in #AtoZChallenge2018. Today I am here to reveal my theme for this challenge . What is  #AtoZChallenge2018 ? It’s a blogging challenge that takes place in the month of April, every year . The participant needs to post daily except Sundays . That means I will have to blog daily . And the condition is that every post should start with an alphabet , first post starting from A till the last post starting with Z . It  is advised to write on a particular theme for all these days . Theme ??  What Theme ?  Well deciding a theme  , a central idea , on which I can blog daily , was a hard  task . And as this is my first time , it was even harder . But finally I could make up my mind . Hope...

What are the 5 factors  Controlling your life ? In simple language , What are the 5 things you can’t live without ? Someone asked me this question and my reflexive  nerves ( which were bychance in a cool mood ) gave a quick answer –  Roti , Kapda and Wifi  . Hehe ! This is today’s tagline .  But then I was asked to give a thoughtful answer that Are there seriously few things I can’t live without ?  What are those things ? Do  those things complete  my living or Have I just given them unnecessary  VIP importance in my life? My mind started pondering over  and I analyzed my daily routine from morning till the time I go to bed . What are the  things which I find difficult to abstain from . Are these  things the controlling factors of my life ?  Do I want to reduce their control on my life ?  My brain and heart both said YES . But How ? This HOW part is difficult  . Before I can actually start to exercise  a control over the factors ,  let me write those  firstly . M...

When it comes to health , we follow many advices , like go for a walk , don’t have fried food , have more of fruits , etc. etc. etc.  We are able to follow few , be consistent and again drop because of one or the other reasons . One health consciousness trick that we can be consistent with and which is very easy to follow, is to have more of water . As summers are approaching , body’s need for water even further increases . Water is our body’s life . It keeps you hydrated and has the capacity to flush out any toxins from the body , making you feel lighter and rejuvenated. Nowadays we often hear about DETOX WATER  . It is something which  is made by infusing water with fresh veggies or fruits . Apart from its benefits , it is something flavoury and helps keep you away from the other artificial drinks available in the market . The benefits of detox water are many : Toxins are flushed away : Detox word itself explains that it is going to get rid the body of toxins . Flu...

  To celebrate  International Women’s day which falls on 8th March every year  , I want to write a letter to my dear daughter , who will soon enter womanhood . Hi My dear daughter Suhani , 1.   You have turned 11 years old and now time will fly quickly to make you enter womanhood . No matter how old you turn , you will remain the  same cute little kid in your mumma’s eyes . You can come to me anytime  with any problem you face in your life . I will always be there for you, eager to hold you in my arms . 2.   Be good in your studies . Understand the concepts and enjoy your learning . Don’t be stressed in today’s competitive society . Even 80% marks are good enough . Just do your best and then don’t worry about the result . Don’t be disheartened if your friend gets admission in a good institute and you are not able to .  Your best efforts would definitely yield good results , if not here then somewhere else for sure . Enjoy the dignity of womanho...

Like you , I also feel worried many times upon the quality of foods that we are eating . There are so many videos floating on whatsapp that show how artificial veggies are being created . When I find  my and my family’s health at stake , It pushes my mind to think and research more  about organic  food . Organic Food Advantages Chemical Free – Organic food is grown without any pesticides or chemicals . So you can have it without the worries of anything bogging your system down . You can mentally feel relaxed that yes ! you are really having healthy food . Inorganic foods which have been grown with the help of dangerous pesticides , are the cause of  developing  many diseases like immune disorders, hypertension and even taking your heart slowly towards cardiac diseases . So the need is to go organic . Natural Nutrient Food — When the food is grown naturally , without any chemicals speeding up its maturation , then its natural nutrients are kept intact . So you get to h...

I have been blogging since April 2017 . I started with small posts , then moved on to adding my posts in some linky parties , and then   I  even  dared to take up some  blogging challenges too .  The challenge # blogchatterprojects in December was on weekly basis  whereas  the earlier writetribe # festivalofwords    was when I had to blog consecutive for 7 days. Initially I was worried if I would be able to complete it or I would leave it  in between . But timely management helped me sustain and I could complete them successfully . Click to read my #writetribe  Karvachauth post  My blog’s earlier participation has been in small challenges but in the coming April 2018 there comes THE BIG CHALLENGE — A to Z by Blogchatter. This is going to be a month long blogging challenge where I am supposed to post daily starting with the alphabet of the day .
