I came across #tuesdayphotochallenge and the theme for this week is Colorful . Above is the picture I choose for this theme .  This is the recent pic I clicked  during my summer vacation in Himachal Pradesh , India .    The varied shades  of Nature could be seen and felt here . The lushgreen forests and the rocky mountains , and suddenly the clouds came floating in the sky above while down in the valley , the river Parvati kept flowing heavily making thrumming sounds , and we kept finding our way to reach the top of the mountain through the pebbled paths .

Picture Prompt – A mother and a daughter talking to each other . Seeing this picture , my mind immediately related it with one of my own pictures with my daughter .   The relation of a mother and a child  is such a wonderful relation in this world . It won’t be wrong if I call a mother’s love as divine . The mother nurtures the baby for 9 months within herself and the bond so established is the purest , selfless and loving . No doubt , a mother’s love is the same whether the child is a son or daughter but I think the relation with a daughter becomes more friendly as she grows up . I have a daughter who is eleven years old now . I love watching her grow as she has started shopping for little things on her own, going to the  nearby market on her own ,collecting some money in her gullak and then asking me to accompany her to the bank where she tries to fill the bank deposit form herself . I love her even  more when she does her own make-up, wears my heels  and looks in the mirror twisting

I am not a very big  foodie , so is my husband and my daughter . Whenever we  happen to go to any restaurant or any party , we  just get confused reading the complex names of  dishes under the different food styles . Most of the times we end up eating our North Indian dishes only – Dal makhani , Karahi Paneer , Malai Kofta or Karhi Pakora . That’s something we relish . But these favourite dishes too when consumed outside  home , put a burden on the stomach as they are made rich with oils , creams and nuts . So while we are coming out after attending the party , we often say “Ghar ka khana ghar ka hi hota hai ” That’s one of the times we come to know of the importance of home cooked food .  The food we cook at home is cooked with love , keeping the health of family in mind . It is served also with love and that makes it even more tastier . Don’t we all miss  the taste of the food cooked by our mothers ? Why so ? Because it was cooked with love while she recited the sacred prayers and it

As part of # BlogchatterEbook carnival 2018 , many books are published and I want to read as many as possible . I scrolled  to pick up the book “InstaGita” as my first read . This book is a summary of the religious  book BhagavadGita  .  The author has focussed on writing about Gita as a self help resource skipping over the more overtly religious parts .  The author has read many versions of Bhagavad Gita and it is her attempt to present the highlights of the sacred text  in easily understandable form , poetic too at many places . Title of the Book  Insta Gita  Author Nupur Maskara Book type eBook Genre Self Help Publisher Self published in May 2018 Language English Length of the Book 74 pages The book is divided into small chapters and every chapter is a very short read . While I was just going through the contents , the chapter “GodZilla “caught my attention . I eagerly scrolled to firstly read this chapter  before I  started reading  the book in a Sequence . The author describes ab
