“ Women should pursue some hobbies , something that they do just for themselves .  When you have an identity , then people respect you else you could be taken for granted “   says the Bollywood great actress Madhuri Dixit . When it’s the women we are talking about , most of the women are just constantly busy performing their daily responsibilities , maintaining work-family balance , with hardly any time left for their own . If you ask any woman “What special did you do today for yourself ?” Answer would be in an astonishing gesture ” Just for myself ?? No No ….There’s no time left just for myself . ” If you ask any woman “Did you cook something of your choice in the past few days?” Answer would be ” I am a mother ,I have to cook as per my child’s or my husband’s wish otherwise they just don’t eat ” If you ask any woman “What is your hobby ?” The question just puts her in the thinking mode . The thing is that Women often forget what they really love or just can’t manage the time or the

Learning Blogging is not a one day job , it’s a journey and I am already on this wonderful journey . This time ,  I chose to read the   eBook -Blogging Basics by Bushra Nausheen . The book mentions all the basics if anyone wants  to start a new blog -how to start  and where to start .  The author shares few important tips for blog beginners – like domain name , hosting , designing etc  which can prove out to be very helpful . Actually in the month of April 2018  , I participated in one of the blogging challenges #superbloggerchallenge2018 and  that was hosted by the author of this book. That challenge was very well planned and I had got to learn  many  blog tips and tricks . Dr Bushra , along with her co-host Dr Amrita had well prepared newsletters , tutorials , blog prompts and many other little tasks for the participants of the challenge along with the motivation to follow the same . I was impressed with both the hosts of that challenge and this made me pick the book written  by one

Health is Wealth and we must take very good care to protect this real Wealth . We must make efforts , may be tiny , to have a healthier body and mind . We must have a fitness routine and how good would it be if that fitness time is fun time too . With health , fitness and maintaining my bodyweight always on my mind , I chose to read  Anami Mittal’s Ebook — BodyWeight Workouts .   The book is a collection of few body Workouts which can be easily done at home . The author has described many kind of exercises and the other health tips which if implemented can bring fruitful results . Apart from the general exercises , you can chose to try  the exercises specifically according to your body’s need . Like  whether you want  to work upon your  bellyfat or you are more worried about your backache or joint problems , choice is yours . Read the book and start with the exercises you actually need . The book has the illustrative figures to describe the how to part of the workout at most of the pl

I was a little girl at that time . My dress was pulled up and panty pulled down . The ladies tied my hands and my  legs were forced stretched apart . I was made to lie in a small messy room . I saw a  lady in black having a blade in her hand . And to my horror , something inside me was cut . I screamed and cried n cried but those ladies were smiling and even congratulating each other .  Doesn’t it send jerks to you ? Didn’t your heartbeat increase after reading this ? What’s this happening  ? Where is it happening and why is it happening ? Well ,  As I was reading today’s newspaper TOI , I came across a horrifying article plus the  thought for the day . The article was on Female Genital Mutilation or FGM in short . FGM is a cruel practice observed by many societies in the name of a religious practice . In India it is practiced by Bohra community , a sect of Shia Muslims . The little girls are circumcised before they attain puberty . By circumcised it means that the clitoral head of th

“Three is perfect ” Seema had said it with tears in her eyes while Rajiv caressed her as she was brought out of the operation theatre on a stretcher . Twenty five years ago , Seema took the quick decision of undergoing tubectomy as she just didn’t want  any chance of having another baby . Actually doctors had detected their first child Suraj  as moderately MR.   She decided to focus all her attention taking care of their differently abled son , burrying her and Rajiv’s heartful desire of having a perfect family of four . The parents strived hard  to transform their differently abled son to a perfectly abled son ,  taking care of his smallest needs or undergoing various kinds of the therapeutic procedures. Time passed , Life moved on  . Seema was left alone as a heart attack took away Rajiv from her life while Suraj’s job plus marriage moved him to another city. Yesterday only , Seema arrived  in the city at his son’s house and today , she overheard him whispering to his wife ” Do somet

I have been blogging for the last around one year . I should not address myself as a newbie blogger now , but still I feel high or low as a blogger sometimes . There are times when I  motivate myself to write blog posts or be active on social media but there also come some times when I feel like quitting blogging . There is a blogging marathon running in my mind all the time – sometimes positive and sometimes negative . Here are the thoughts which peep into my mind as a blogger . 1. Blog Blog Blog – what should I blog about ? A story or a poem ? My life experience or my dreams ? 2. Other bloggers ask me – What’s your niche ? What should I answer them ? I think think and think but I don’t reach to any conclusion . What actually I want to share with my readers ? Rather what actually should I share with my readers ? 3. Why did I name my blog AluBhujia ? Did I plan to write about food earlier or just because this is my favourite bhujia ? Should I change it ? Is it funny ? But  even if I wa
