Cousins by blood , Friends by choice #HappyFriendshipDay

As The friendship day arrives , I am reminded of all the lovely friends who have been a part of my life . From school to college and now some of my colleagues –all those friends have been  an important aspect of my life . Some of them are cute , some crazy , some are like  angry stuff and some are funny. Friends are so important in our life . And there are some special friends whom I  know since birth  and these are the ones who loved me yesterday , love me today and for sure would love me  forever . These special friends are my  Cousins . Yes  ! We are cousins by blood but friends by choice . Dear all cousins , you make my life worth living . I love you all !

Where should I start writing from ? The very first moments which unfold  in front of my eyes are the times when I , Nitu , Gitu would wear lehngas and dance for hours together at any family function , be it a small birthday party .  The music to our dance used to be given by Munish Bhaiya on his drums . That small birthday party was not small but used to be a big occasion for all of us . We used to enjoy decorating our house , prepare for dance , play games and then eat together . Games !! Oh when I say games – I just can’t stop laughing even alone , as those games were the extraordinary ones and our little sister  Gitu has still  kept some records safe . HaHa !! The most memorable is the Dumb Charades  game which we all used to play the whole night at Nani’s place .  O my God , we could play it in our rajai(quilt) too when the elders ordered us to switch off the lights and sleep .

Getting together at Nani’s place used to be so wonderful . Cooking Biryani and golgappas together and then serving to everybody on paid basis used to make us rich for the evening party .  The fun times came along with the little fights which could range from pillow fights -slap fights –hair fights or a rare case of chappal fights . I still remember the fights Munish Bhaiya , Me and Swati used to share . Swati  You used to give him tough fights yaar ! And Sunny was so sweeeet ! He is the same even today – my sweet little brother who talks less but cares more .  I am reminded of the adorable dance movements of Honey , Sunny and Money . Sunny was shy but Honey used to shake the room with his dance . Money(The Golu )being the youngest , grabbed  everyone’s love .

family is my real wealth 

We all grew up so fast , had to move in different directions for studies and then jobs . One by one , all got married and then came more friends in our family . Yes ! Brothers brought Bhabis and Sisters brought Jijus in the family . Priyanka ,  Jyoti , Bhawna , Deepika , all are my sweet Bhabis  whose company is so warm whenever we get to meet at any family function . Bhaiya ki khushiyon ki chaabi I love you Bhabi !!!  Now come Jijus . Jijus are always so special . Isn’t it ??  All my jijus  have such a cool nature . I must say that our family is blessed to have such pleasant personalities  . God bless them all .

Read What I wrote on my childhood memories 

What else should I write ? The childhood moments are unlimited which I want to share -the funny or the sentimental  . Today all of us are living far in different cities but even today , our hearts are very close . And thanks to whatsapp , the daily chats don’t let us feel to be far away from each other .  Together , we stay connected and we feel blessed . Dear friends , Let’s always stay close to each other  .  May our love always keep growing . I am happy that I have a family who is my strength and my happiness .  Today It’s friendship day and I wish you all a very very happy friendship Day !! Love you all !!  Hope to meet you soon .

Here are the few lines I dedicate to our friendship — ‘Hum sath sath hain ‘

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 ...

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 ...
