To My Dad who loves Books and Music #HappyFathersDay

Today is June 21st ,2020. There is a lot happening together on this day . The World is celebrating Father’s Day , International Yoga Day and  World music day too .

Last year in 2019 I wrote #MyDaddyMyWorld . Read if you want .

Today I celebrate #HappyFathersDay2020 with my following words :

 The almirahs full of books are his treasure

His collection includes fiction , non-fiction , classics , autobiographies and motivational

But  short story books are his real love

 That’s  my Dad -A literature person…..

Though only  little trained but he just loves Music

Tabla , Harmonium , Casio , Daphli all are there in our home

His  diaries are full of old Hindi and Punjabi songs, some bhajans too

Bulle Shah , Kabir , or Aaa Neel Gagan Tale

That’s my Dad – a music lover……

my dad

His hugs are still the warmest

Whenever  I am in trouble – a difficult situation or some stress

He would say –Main Baitha Hoon Na !

Suddenly all my worries  just fly away , I don’t know how this magic happens

That’s my Dad- who always keeps my spirits high…….

The angiography couldn’t weaken his heart

He is popular among his friends as a strong and a kind man

Physically, financially or emotionally

Always ready to help others – so much that  he is sometimes even taken advantage of

But he continues by saying –‘May be God wants to fulfill some people’s wishes through me’

That’s my Dad- The jewel of my life…..

Paranthas , Bread Butter , Fruit Cream , Karahi Paneer

Are a few he just can’t resist

Worrying about his cholesterol levels

Mom has to fight to keep him away from creamy things  

But he somehow  manages to nosh a spoonful of  malai

That’s my Dad- a foodaholic……

Nobody is born perfect in this world

But I being his daughter

Love him to the core even with his little imperfections

He is my confidence and my courage

My strength and support

That’s my Dad – The  invaluable love of  my life…..

 

Dads are a precious part of our lives  . Let’s celebrate them !

Wish you all a #HappyFathersDay .

Here’s a small audio of my Dad singing a hindi bhajan . Please listen to it .

 

Gir Gir ke hi to seekhte hain na #MyDaddyMyWorld

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 Silver Lined Mommy'

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 how i  had to bear my daughter

 Are you alive ? Are you thankful that you are alive ? I am writing this in some spare  time at my workplace and a few minutes ago I got to know about the sudden death of one of our collleagues  .

I never intended to begin with  anything of this sort but today's news has left me disturbed you know .  All i can do is to be thankful that I am alive , hale n hearty . Life is so unpredictable you see but still we all have filled our life with hatred , jealousy , competition, ego , leg-pulling , stress, frustration and what not .
