My Birthday wish.


How I wish I was a child again just for a day. No fret, no worries. Being innocent and not knowing you are, is quite something. And it can be felt only by being a child.

Both my daughters are super excited to celebrate my birthday today. (They are much interested in the cake though). They have made it very clear as to which cake is to be ordered, which restaurant will be good for dinner, which dress they are planning to wear. Missy 8 has even alluded to what I should select to wear .

When I was little I was too shy. So I would like to tweak that side of mine a bit. I always was happy in all the small things, and I have maintained that side of mine.

I love gifts. What's not to like about gifts. I like gifting people and receiving back gifts too. I never used to pay much attention to what's inside the gift wrap. For me, since I was a child, I used to be fascinated by the sheer art of gift wrapping. All those pretty bows and all that glittery packing. Also the idea of me receiving a gift was so heartening that I never used to pay heed to what actually was inside. But all that was when I was a child. Now it's not so. I am excited and like what's inside equally. So it better be good😂.

I was very impatient and sometimes rude to people who used to irritate me. I think I should get that back as a grown up. It's because most of the people I meet are irritating. And how I wish I can give them a high five..on their face....with a chair. But being a grown up, I have to digest that and sometimes suffer fools too.

Back in those days, when I was in school, I used to be in my own world. And that quality of mine is still intact. I have my own to do lists in my mind. And people close to me know that when I am bored( even in between a conversation), I take a flight in my own world. And like a grownup, go through my to do lists.

The best way to be a kid again is through your kids. I am living my life all over again through my kids. And I have no qualms about that whatsoever. My mantra - Live, Love , Laugh - NOW !

If you would like to be generous please go full throttle.

My dad has always taught me to be generous without hesitation. When I was younger, I never understood what he meant by that. All I saw was my mum and dad working hard to make a good life and helping people in need without thinking twice and without any hesitation. All the relatives and friends never used to think twice when they were in trouble as they knew all they had to do was - ask, and my parents would be there for them, sometimes giving a cash favour and on more occasions being there in person and giving their time and energy to help and just be there in other peoples moment of difficulty. The enthusiasm which they had was unmatched. He always told me that you never give away things which you no longer need. That's not the way to give. That is not being generous. It's just discarding all those things you no longer need. He then used to encourage me to give things which I was still using and were good to give. The things which are not good to be used by you are n...

Small niceties will take you a long way

Today I want to write about the thankless job we all are doing silently without complaining or standing up for ourselves when is required.Being a mother, a homemaker is as thankless as it gets. I ask myself- why do I not think about myself first. Why do I not love myself the way I should. Why are we conditioned as such that the moment we get married and then ofcourse when we have kids, we put ourselves later than everyone else. We should be asking the men in our lives this question - what joy can a woman give to her family if she herself is deprived of happiness. Now you will say define Happiness. I think happiness is very overrated. You don't and cannot run after happiness as It is not an object. It is a feeling of total bliss. If people think that we cant complain because we have the basic necessities and then some more, they are fools. Owning and buying things and objects gives us pleasure and not happiness. We are just human and not super moms or uber or ultra moms. Th...

Dont be afraid to fly

Dreams are our ticket to experience a whole new world which we long to be in. As a young kid we all had a dream to become a doctor, and then ,when we went to school we wanted to be a teacher, when we went to see the circus we wanted to be a joker and it kept changing frequently as our minds wished. Adulthood changes all the rules of life. We can't be naive anymore. The world out there can be big and bad and we always have to live by the sword. The flip side of that can be- we can get cut easily. Dreaming gives us a chance to be a kid again. In our dreams we can be anyone and still noone judges us. Dreaming and hoping are the two feelings we must hold near to our heart and not let them slip at any point of time. Many people are afraid to take the lead and want to follow all the time. They can lead but are afraid if they go wrong, then what? But if you keep thinking of the consequences, you will never be able to get anything done in the first place, forget about failing or ...
