Spring

Spring ! The word is in itself is so energetic.

Spring brings sunshine, the green views alive, puts back smile on everyones face and everyone just feels like jumping n springing up from the long dark nights of harsh winter.

Hopla is the sound I associate with spring. Every morning my 2.5 yrs old son is up from bed he says "Hopla! Mommy, its sunny sunny outside. lets go out, get ready" he doesn't require any food or milk, only sunshine can recharge him. wonderful right?? yes sunshine does make a huge difference to our mood. OMG how much we all love sun.

When in India i never realized the importance of sun or the spring or the summer. Simply because Sun was there shining n smiling everyday! Plants were always green! Life was simply full of bright colors.

But here in Germany life is different, We miss sun so much that our smiles start fading when he fades... but thankfully when im writing this, spring is here. Times have changed, I can see the flowers blooming, hear the songs of the birds and just step out of the house any time n enjoy the sunshine :) get to see so many people smiling n playing.

I think it's the human nature to not to identify the importance of vital things in life until it goes missing from our lives!! Living in Germany made me realize the importance of sunshine in my life n why the science books in school says "life sustains on earth because of the Sun and sunlight"

So let us thank the sun god for being there always to nurture n protect us.

Enjoy the spring / summer to the fullest :)

Time to step out n Smile
Time to Enjoy n Relish
Time to Sing n Dance

Most importantly time to shed those huge jackets ;)

Happiness :)

Everyone wants to be happy, yet know one really knows what is happiness and how to be happy. Everyone has different perspectives for happiness. Happiness might be success for one and for the other it might be being with loved ones. Different people have different views. For me happiness is living every moment of today to the fullest and try to enjoy every second of my present Life.

Though i feel i should enjoy n stay happy every moment, it actually is one of the difficult task in itself. To keep your mind away from worries is very difficult. Worrying about everything is very natural process for us. May be human mind is designed in that way!! I have often heard great people say that being around a child makes you tension free and makes you joyful because a child has no worries and the aura it radiates is blissful. Every small achievements makes a child smile and failures makes him/her try again. A Child is never sad. They also say we must learn these qualities from them. I agree to what they say only when am around my friends kids coz i can simply observe the child and not worry about how to grow the child in a right way.

But I strongly disagree to what these great people say when am around my own child !! Mainly because i land up worrying about his silly failures and small scratches on his body. I worry about feeding him a proper diet, keeping him in good company,keeping him safe, keeping my house clean and finally keeping up my energy as high as theirs :) Ufff too many things to worry at the same time.

The conclusion is one cannot be happy all the time like a child. Simply because the same child grows up and becomes a man who worries. So one can never be Child like!!

The simplest way to be happy is by living in "Present". By not relating happiness to your Past or to your Future. Just be content with whatever you have and whatever situations you are in Today. Never worry about tomorrow to an extant that it sucks the happiness of today. Enjoy every meal you eat and enjoy every single dreams you see in the night. Relax take a Chill pill!!

Kya pata Kal Ho na Ho ??!!

Live Happily and let others live Happily too :)

Confusion!!

Life is all about confusions.. confusions about everything and anything. We want to do/be so many things at the same time and God just gives us choices!! All we can have is 2-3 options cleverly kept in front of us and we got to choose the right one and only one !! hardest task right???

But that is the way life is. We cannot have everything. To gain something we have to loose something. To be something we have to also be something that we didn't wanted to be. And finally if our choice turns out to be the wrong one then we cannot even go back and change it!! we just have to accept it and move on??? I mean Y r we not given the option of going back n live some of the sweetest moments again and erase the sad ones. Why??

Apparently most of the confusions are laid only in front of the women. Men can have everything and anything they are free. Women's are tied and wrapped nicely in emotional package. They are blessed with a kind heart which cannot hurt anyone but themselves so they try to keep everyone happy and land up keeping themselves confused!! Confused weather to choose her individual happiness or to choose the joys of her family? confused weather to listen to her heart or listen to her parents/spouse/family? She is mostly confused and finally land up sacrificing her happiness over family. And the worst part is all her sacrifices go unacknowledged coz everyone thinks she is meant to sacrifice !!!!

Just recall the times when your own mother/sister/ wife has given up her individual happiness over yours and how many times have u thanked her or tried to give her the happiness she deserves???

Think about it !!

And don't take women's for granted they the best creation of god and Men should be very grateful to have them on this Planet :)

What is Important??

Sunny weather sunny mood... mommy is in a good mood. takes her son/daughter out to the garden to meet his buddies then buys good chocolates n toys. OH how much the kids n mums love sun!

YES weather affects our moods knowingly or unknowingly. we all love to go out shopping or go on holiday enjoy nice weather, play with kids in fresh air.but how much are we contributing to preserve our precious nature?? We all have fast paced running lifestyle where we ignore the beauty of the nature, the rising sun, full moon, blooming flower etc. We somehow think that money can bring all the joys, it can buy anything and everything that we ever desire but have we ever stopped a moment and thought??? can money really solve all our problems and needs?? Can it bring back the time we spent running after money? can it bring the global warming down?? the ans is a BIG "NO"

Art of life lies in enjoying every moment of our stay on this earth. Enjoying the beauty of nature, enjoying the family bonds, working to keep our mind occupied, preserving the nature so that the upcoming generations can also enjoy and having a peaceful sleep in the night.

Running a fast paced life can only tire you and not relax you so calm down and look around and realize life is short!!!

Choose Quality of life over the Quantity.
Choose Slow food over Fast food.
Choose Time over Money !!

Think about it...

MOMMY needs a break!!

Yes indeed i need a break!! break from changing soiled nappies, from feeding bottles, the twinkle twinkle rhymes and midnight cries. one cannot have a better break than Blogging as blogging is nothing but my own space where i can b myself. I can be what I could have been, or What i Would have been !! Hee Hee so its utterly cool n relaxing.

Being a mother is not very simple. A mother is nothing but a superfast Multitasking ipad...She can sing and babysit while she is cooking, she can dance and be a clown while she is cleaning, she can decide the menu for next day while she is singing lullaby.She can be anything at any point of the day.. unpredictable yet performs all the tasks.
A young peppy fun loving girls turns out to be a serious superwomen as soon as she becomes a mum!!! phew such a huge change..

As a teenager when i used to hear my mom talking to her friends and relatives about nutrition values, good diets, and simple yet yummy recipes or the place where the other women buy groceries for a lesser price etc i used to wonder why on earth she is discussing such boring things rather than talking about nice movies or new fashion. But now when i myself discuss all the same old silly topics with my so called cool buddies via internet chatting or long calls i wonder knowingly or unknowingly all the girls turn out to be mature womens at one or the other point of life.

Change is the nature of world
Change is the nature of the life.

So i accept the change in myself as a mother from a girl wholeheartedly and move on smiling!!
