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...

Why do I write ?

 I have been writing a blog for the last five years and many times people question me why do i write . Well ! I don't have an exact answer . But whenever someone has asked me this question ' Why do you write ?' i have answered in the form of some question only like 'Why do you go shopping ?' or 'Why do you love to  go  on vacation?'  Actually the basic answer is that it feels good . It makes me happy , contented and also a little proud of myself . The feeling when i boasted about being an author is incomparable . May be you don't read me but I keep writing for myself - to reflect on my life experiences and learn from them. Earlier i used to feel depressed when people didn't read me but now it's just between me and my blog . Writing  helps me connect to my creative side and helps increase my vocabulary also. Writing provides an escape when reality becomes too complex. I like to write because it allows me to focus on a subject  and helps me relieve...

Theme Reveal #BlogchatterA2Z 2022

I started my blog five years ago and my blogging journey during these five years has gone through many twists and turns . I started my blog on self hosted wordpress site , learnt lot many technical aspects like DA ,  SEO and latram patram .....Blogchatter has been a constant friend ( plus a big support) since then ....I have  successfully participated in  #BlogchatterA2Z three times .....and wrote two ebooks too during the process . All this was quite exciting you know as I got to understand a bit of creative side of writing , made some new blogger friends , and became a proud AUTHOR of two ebooks .  In 2018 my theme was #Astitva where I wrote about various stigmas faced by a woman in our society . In 2019 I wrote under the theme #Prerna where I uploaded  some inspirational posts . In 2020 all my blogposts were related to the life of middle aged women (as that was the time I had just stepped into my forties ) . That was the time I came up with the book 'The Silv...
