It won't last

Feels like yesterday when i was in hostel . That was the best period of my life when we friends used to shout and rap the mess tables with  our plates  , dance like mads in hostel room, whisper loud 😄in the library and what not . But today it's been 22 years . 

Feels like yesterday when I got married But today it has been 17 years .

Feels like yesterday when I held my daughter for the first time in the hospital , but today she is a teenager and stands taller than me.

No moment or stage of life lasts forever;It moves on. 

I transformed from a girl to a woman to a mother and now slowly aging like that Aunty next door. 

Forty years of life have passed and i saw many near and dear ones  who passed away in these years , some old some young. 

Same way Fifty years will pass and same way Sixty Seventy ( is there any guarantee that I will reach seventy? ) 

Daily a day starts and it ends giving me  nothing special on my plate .....

So let's start making our days special, beautiful  and happier 

Spending more time laughing 

Spending more family time 

Making time for the things we love 

Singing Dancing Smiling and Loving each other 

Because 

as an icecream melts after few minutes ;

cooked food starts to stink after few hours; 

stagnant water develops fungus after few days; 

Same way ....our life .....it won't last

I am writing this post as part of #BlogchatterA2Z month long writing challenge

    Aging is a fact of life is it not? We just need to accept it. You made the right comparisons with ice cream, food, water etc.
    Every day is a new day. And every day is also the first day in the rest of our life.
    Make the best of it. Pause, and cherish every moment. Our plates will automatically become full! :-)

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 ...

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...

Mindfulness ki Aisi ki Taisi

 Two years ago I had written two posts about mindfulness on my blog . One was about what mindfulness is and other exclusively  about food mindfulness. Food mindfulness suggests that one gets conscious of one's food plate - check if the ingredients are high in carbs or low in proteins , check if you are consuming more sugary foods , keep a check that your breakfast plate should me fullest and dinner plate the lightest . There's lot to be checked you know . But point is that if i keep checking all this stuff ,how do i enjoy food ?  What's the harm if my cheese is  served as paneer butter masala ? Won't chole bhature mind if i have only dry chapati with moong dal ? And why these sprouts and salads  feel egoistic in being on top of food mindfulness? Kya gunaah kar diya humne agar cream salad kha liya ? After all it's a salad only .   And you know my breakfast plate just does not obey the rule of it being heaviest.  Instead the dinner plate gets jam p...
