Nani Nanu

 Everyone has very loving memories of his  childhood and grandparents . I also have very beautiful memories of my Nani Nanu i.e. my maternal grandparents . It was very painful  when my Nani passed away two years ago and few months ago my Nanu also said a goodbye . 

That little house of my Nani Nanu still perfectly flashes in front of my eyes where the whole family used to unite in summer vacation , play cards , ludo and dumbcharades . That little kitchen always brewed  tempting smells of rajma , chole masala , kadi , pakodas and even golgappe .

The one who lost ten games of cards was given a punishment of making tea for all or cutting the salad for lunch . 

Those family times used to be an energy booster for the whole year ahead with everyone laughing , loving and caring for each other . 

Seems those were ancient times , as that kind of  loving bonds have lost somewhere in today's times . Today everyone ( a child or an aged) is busy in his self and his online social circle .

I with my Nanu

 My Nani had a love for dressing up and make-up . She also loved dressing up her Ladoo Gopal Ji with dresses which she decorated herself . My Nanu had a taste for reading english newspapers and doing many of daily chores riding on his bicycle . 

My Nani used to call me Ghutti and my Nanu used to call me Jhotnath . Well i don't know what it meant but i miss those names.


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

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...

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...

 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  . Always smiling and helpful to all , he was in his early forties . Leaving his family and kids crying  , he just decided to fly away , may be to a happier world ( atleast that's what i wish )  Well ! 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 .
