Happy Birthday, Momma...........

લોકો કહે છે કે હું તારા જેવી દેખાઉ છું. પરંતુ સામ્યતા માત્ર દેખાવ પુરતી છે, વ્યક્તિત્વની દ્રષ્ટિએ, હું તારા જેવી બિલકુલ નથી. હું તારા જેટલી જવાબદાર નથી. હું તારા જેટલી દયાળુ નથી. હું તારા જેવી કંપોઝ નથી. તારા જેવી મહેનતુ ,સીધી કે સરળ તો નહીં. મને બુદ્ધિ મળી હશે પણ હું તારા જેવી હોશિયાર નથી. મને શોખ વારસામાં મળ્યાં હશે પણ મારા પાસે તારા જેવો ક્લાસ નથી. મારામાં બોલવાની કુશળતા હોઈ શકે છે પણ મમ્મી, તારા જેવા વિચારની પ્રક્રિયા મને મળી નથી. 79 વરસે પણ તારી નવું જાણવા ની ધગશ, 17 વરસ ના યુવાન જેવી છે. તારા કરતા ઘણી અલગ છું મમ્મી ; તું હમેશાં વસાવડા અને વૈષ્ણવ કુટુંબની તમામે જવાબદારી ઉપાડવા આ ઉમરે પણ હસતા મોઢેથી તૈયાર જયારે હું *This is my boundary do not cross it" માં માન નાર . અને બસ એક અફસોસ એ છે કે હું કાશ તારા જેવી હોત Maa. જન્મદિવસની શુભેચ્છા સ્વસ્થ અને ફિટ રહે

Let us celebrate their lives. Two females two journey One nation

It took me 10 years to restart my blog  . When I am back with bang on my blog, I am wondering what made me  stop doing this??🤔🤔. Yes, it was indeed incredible decade with motherhood responsibilities and balancing between professional & personal obligations. And for sure I will not use a word career as I might have learnt many things on professional front but nothing I have achieved to call it great career . One of the regret for not taking right decision at right time 😅 but today here I am going to share life journey of two dynamic females who have kept all their regrets, grievances , sorrows on side and moving ahead with positive energies.

I have not met both of them personally & may never meet them in this life journey . One I know her through Twitter account & another..... I know about her through television . Neither of them are so called celebrities or politicians . They are simple women but still inspiring me day & night . 

"Writer of thoughts , mother of hero " is her Twitter profile .  Meghna Girish is brave mother of Major Akshay Girish who made supreme sacrifice while protecting our country during Nagrota Attack in November 2016.  Mother Meghna has different way to coping with her grief. She must have been shattered but not broken . She relishes her martyr son's memories by working towards families of other unsung heroes . She has not only learned to live with her grief but also has healing power to heal others who sail in the same boat.   Major Akshay Girish Memorial Trust has been founded by Meghna ma'am & her other family members. Aim of the trust is to promote nationalism & service to mother India. 

Meghna ma'am is like her son brave , strong and fearless. Since last 2 years I am following my sunshine Akka on Twitter and she always amaze me with her positive tweets which reflect her strength . Who I am to wish you on woman's day? ... I can only request you Meghna Akka  to inspire me more & more towards rendering selfless services to the nation. 

February 18th 2019,  tv images are still very strong   in nation's mind .Nitika Dhoundiyal had paid a highly emotional tribute to her husband while moved everyone witnessing it to tears. "Jay Hind , Jay Hind , Jay Hind  I love you Vibhu " and she , young wife of Martyr Major Vibhuti Shankar Dhoundiyal gave final bid to a  hero.  Nitika  with proud said " I am not helpless . My husband was a brave heart " . The young couple got  married in April 2018 & parted in February 2019. ( Major Vibhuti gave supreme sacrifice while neutralizing coward Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorists in Pulwama)  Her courageous roar haunted me till few more months .She inspired me to my core. My class room  creative board was  full with her and  major vibhuti's  articles for another 3 months . 

Every day , I used to search her name on Google by hoping to know about her more and more  . Somewhere in October 19, I came across her Twitter account - proud wife of Martyr Major VS Dhoundiyal . Nitika Kaul Dhoundiyal as her Twitter bio says and I got lucky to interact with this lioness  also. 

BTech   MBA  Nitika is soon leaving her job of  multi national company &   joining Indian army to give true tribute to her beloved husband. Heroic female another profile bio is presenting how strong & challenging personality  she is . " Don't wait for the end to come in order to start new sometimes we just need to break the monotony and start new beginning from the middle of the story. " 

These both females far away from me, through their day to day endeavour inspire me more and more to work towards  nation and   motivates me to give selfless love . One who is like  my elder sister    & one who is only few years elder to my child are truly empowered women . And this women's day toast to their names & strong  characters . 

26/11....

Tribute: The 26/11 heroes who laid their lives for Mumbai

Assistant Sub- Inspector Tukaram Omble:

Hemant Karkare, Vijay Salaskar & Ashok Kamte:

Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan

and other 137 innocent Indians.

Mummy, Why this boy is crying? my little daughter asked me this question almost one year ago at time of watching TV coverage of little Moshe, a Jewish boy who lost parents at Terror attack on Nariman house, Mumbai. I was not in the position to explain her that time that all Indians were into the tears those days.

Today, after one year how hard i try but i am not in position to right or express something because wounds are still deep down inside.

अब बस अब नही तो कब बस

कब तक देखेगे माँ के यह हाल , अब तो रुको और बनो इसके लाल,

यह केसी जेहाद , यह है केसा आतंक , करो यह जुर्म बन्ध , नही है खुदा बेरहम

जन्नत की वोह परिया क्या है खून की पयासी??? इनसान के लहू से है जयादा प्यारी??

चला दी है तुमने फतवे की गोलिया , देखि है तुम ने क्या बेवा की टूटी चुडिया ??

हिंदू,शिख,इशाई, मुसलमान को है मारा, पर एक बाप,बेटा, भाई, पति को भी है मारा

जान देकर जान लेने की यह केसी तालीम? अम्मी से पूछा है क्या बनोगे तुम फियादीन??

अब बस अब नही तो कब बस अब बस अब नही तो कब बस

न करो तुम पुर्थ्वी के अंत का आरंभ , ऐसा ना हो की कर न पाए कोई नया प्रारम्भ

My Life after I join the yoga classes

"Close your eyes… relax your mind and body.. now listen words of the Charles Swindoll.. " My yoga teacher was narrating us something after sets of assanas.

“ The longer we live the more we realize the impact of Attitude on life.
It has more important than education, than money, than circumstances, than failure, than success, than whatever anyone might think, say or do.

It is more important than appearances, gift ness or skill. It can make or break a company, home or relationship.

We can not change our past. We can not change the way people act. We can not change the inevitable.

The one thing we can change is the only thing we have control over, and that is our Attitude!!!

In the life 10% what acutely happens to us, and 90% how we react to it. “

I was at my daily Yoga Class and my yoga teacher Rekha aunt’s world were echoing into my mind. At that point my mind and soul were at the extreme level of peace. I was feeling peace within. Now a days I most of the time feel the same.

But my days were not same before 9 to 10 months ago. Living with 3 senior citizens and two kids is not easy for anybody in the world. I was also not exception!!! Recession has started to show off its colors in Indian economy that time. Our newly started business had also affected by the worst conditions of the world. Above all my PMS and Adenomyosis problem were killing me . Naturally my kids were the easily victim of the circumstances. But one day due to Almighty's miracle, i found my yoga teacher Rekha aunt.

I remembered very clearly our first meeting.. She took my hand into her hand and asked me lovingly..” Can you change people around you?? – I replied no I can not.. Can you change situation around you?? – I replied again no I can not.. She told me than change your attitude everything will be alright. I replied back to her it is not that easy teacher. She laughed.. no beta it is not easy but he ( almighty ) has decided this life for you and you have to accept his prasad gracefully. Don't fight with the situation .. simple sail with it.

Next day onward I started my yoga class. I have heard lots and lots about yoga and its benefits but not realized till I was into that. Within one month I was finding changes into myself. My Guru – Mrs. Rekha Bhandari was not only yoga teacher but she was/is friend, philosopher and guide for all her students.

Life in 10 months changes dramatically. No .. no .. not a single situation and surrounding have changed.. it might become worsen but its me who learnt to accept ,handle and ignore them.

Yoga classes at Rekha aunt’s place are never a burden of exercises. The one hour class is combination of aasans, pranayam –mediation, mind games and relaxing games. Its helps to search your capacities and capabilities.


Thank you aunt… I know thanks is too too small word for the same. Infect I would like to offer my pranam to all those yoga teachers who are changing life of so many people!!! We are aware of Baba Ramdev.. We know the work done by Shri shri Ravi shankarji, we know that there are so many yoga guru at Rishikesh but there are so many non famous/ hidden teachers in this country who are changing way of life of others. I salute all of them for their devotional work towards society.

Thanks again Rekha aunt … it is because of your motivation and inspiration I am able to create my own blog.

“ you are the chisel… you the sculptor.. and you the stone.. Life is what you make it!!” Rekha Aunt’s words have again started to echoing into the mind. I was gradually coming out of the trans effects of shava san. My daily yoga class was going to end soon.. but my day head was going to start brightly.

At last what I have learnt in these months..

“ God, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change…

the courage to change the things I can….
And wisdom to know the difference!!!

Mom I am Hungry...

Mom… I am hungry… My son shouted at me.. “Why you are not eating at time of lunch.” .. I replied back more angrily. Oh god.. I really wanted to have a time for me at least for 10 minutes but this boy will not and never allow me. Listen , you have to finish up your lunch dish first. It is strict order of daddy that you have to finish your lunch unless and until you will not get anything, He looked at me and than asked why the same vegetables .. same dal chawal and all that things mom … why not something else why not pani puri!!!.. I looked at his pity face .. Feel like laughing and crying both at the same time. Well do you know we have to think about our total vitamins and proteins intake.. blah .. blah . He was not listing to me and I was into mood and as per routine giving him lecture on what to eat and why to eat and that is how his immunity will build up and that will help to fight to the infections and will help to protect swine flu and what not..

From simple hungry ness to I reached to swine flu!!!!! God this swine flu is really making me sick.. My god my kids have to eat very healthy food to strengthen their immunity.. Now a days in my all discussion, in my all normal talking swine flu is coming… Yesterday when I went to vegetables market, I covered my face full with duppatta.. I looked at one old female who was sneezing with big scary eyes. With my normal Grocery things I have stored enough stock of sanitizer also. Like vegetables everyday I buy Tulsi leaves also to make kadha.. Everyday I open swine flu’s website. What is happening to me??

Mom I have finished up …He shouted again. Why can not he talk in normal tone?? Why they think that they can always shout to mother and mother will accept this as regular tone?? Oh I remembered my old days.. I used to work with the leading gujarati newspaper.. if I would have been still there I would have defiantly written article on how to prevent kids from swin flu.. dhat te ri ki.. again swine flu!!!!! But I can not afford to live in remembrance of past life.. it is going to be soon tea time.. I have to make juice for my son.. protein milk shake for my daughter.. I guess vegetable sandwiches for snacks and than I have to buy dettol hand wash.. these kids naa they are wasting it like anything.. I guess I will make cheese paratha for dinner.. You know protein intake should be more to build up your immunity and that will help to fight swine flu.

Oh god I have to make my daughter learn phonetic sound ig – words today.. big,,, mig… pig.. oh p i g - pig means swine..
