‘Parenting’ is not a piece of cake

Being a mother of five years old is a challenge for me every day. Kids these days are logical and curious about everything. They want to know everything, whether its something about the kitchen or real-life issues. Moreover, you cannot give them an unreasonable answer cause then they have their own ifs and buts about it.

These days as we are facing problems to be a perfect parent, on the other hand, kids also are facing a completely different and difficult outline. We want our kids to be the best among all and in that process, we sometimes forget that it’s ok to be a regular child.

So here I am sharing a few tips that can help in better parenting-

1. Never compare your kid with other’s, as every kid has its own originality and uniqueness.

2. Share some quality time with them. It is the most important thing that we can do, as we should spend at least 20 to 25 minutes with our kids every day. It will not only make them cheerful but after they will grow up, you will definitely cherish those moments.

3. Be an example for them. Rather than telling them to do something or adapt to any good habit, set an example for them. Children learn more quickly not by listening but by watching.

4. Do not lose your temper easily while dealing with your child, it will create a certain kind of stubbornness in them. Be steady and calm always whenever you are interacting with them.

5. Teach them to be respectful towards their elders and younger ones too. This habit will help your kid to become a better person. Teach them the virtues of kindness and helpfulness.

By following these few concepts, we can surely handle the ’PARENT’ obligation sufficiently. But yes, I would like to say that these days, even parents of 25-year-old or 40-year-old are learning contemporary things that are helpful in becoming abetter parent.

What's your take about it…………..

Chandigarh- a city of peace

Chandigarh is a place where I wish to settle down. Although I belong to Ludhiana(Punjab) but I always yearn to live in this beautiful and glorious city.

Chandigarh is a rare city in India that is the capital of two states-Punjab & Haryana. I love this city, but there are a few aspects that I admire about it...

1. This city is well planned, which makes it look more attractive.

2. There are greens all around the city and that is the promising part of it.

3. This city is spacious and peaceful. You can feel the vibe of peacefulness as soon as you enter this lovely city.

4. The most integral thing about this city is its cleanliness. Which is really admirable.

5. This city is high on entertainment quotient as it has beautiful malls, sukhna lake, rock garden, night clubs and museums.

In the end, I would like to say that, this delightful city ’Chandigarh’ is everybody’s ”wanderlust destination”. One must visit it its lifetime.

#thought of the moment

SILENCE- the unheard words.....

A girl has chaos inside her... The moment, she is into her senses, there is something or anything going on in her mind. She wants to pursue a course but she has to ask for permission, but boys in our society don't even think about that. She wants to FLY HIGH but she can't even open her wings without even asking her parents.

“What will people say”, this is the major problem with our society, but this rule implies to FEMALES only.

When a girl is small she has to think about her family, as grows up she has to think about the society and after getting married, she has to think about her husband, in-laws and kids.

So in the nutshell, we can say that, all the turmoil, she has in her mind, has to be there only. She has to maintain the ’SILENCE’, for the sake of everyone. She has to ditch her ”DREAMS”, ”AMBITIONS” & ”FEELINGS”.

But my question here is,

who will think about her then???

Who will listen to her words, which were never spoken???

Who will understand her SILENCE????

A married Girl.. who wants only a day off from her married life.....!!!

Image sources:- PEXELS

A married girl is always dedicated towards her family.. her husband and her kids. She try to do every possible thing to make her family happy and satisfied. She wakes up early, makes breakfast for the husband, make her kid ready for the online class (due to this pandemic). Then her day begins with thinking about ‘breakfast.. lunch... what to do first and what to next.. laundary.. ironing.. home-work.. house maintainace.. taking care of hygine in this condition (COVID-19)’. Her day begins with the thought of BREAKFAST and ends with the thought that what to make next day in the BREAKFAST. This is the life of a HOUSE-WIFE. She is a cook.. a care-taker... a maid (taking care of dusting.. hygiene and kitchen’s duties). And the most important thing among all that she never gets a day off, not even on Sunday.. not even when she is not feeling well. No matter how much co’operative your life-partner is.. but only she knows how to manage everything efficiently.

So my question here is... does she deserve a day off from her own life...??

According to me, Yes... she deserve it. She just want a day off from all of her responsibilities. She needs to and deserve to, spend some time in her own company. She wants to get pampered. She wants to sit all day in the bed or on the couch.. watching her favourite movies, which she was not able to watch due to her responsibilities. She wants to sleep without setting an alarm. She just want to sit and relax... she wants to eat yummy food which is not made by her. She don’t want to take care of anyone rather her own self. She wants to talk to herself. She wants to look herself into the mirror without any interupption. She wants to pamper herself.. like to take care of her body.. her skin and her nails. She want to take bath, as much as she loves too... she don’t want to get disturbed while sitting in the bath tub.. enjoying her favourite music or taking a nap. These little-little things will give her immense happiness.

In the end, i would like to say that it is my belief... It doesn’t mean that she don’t love her kid or her husband and family. She loves her more than herself, that is why she has dedicated her whole life to them. It is just that if she will get a day for herself , her mind will get some relaxation. It will be refreshed.. she could participate with more n more energy in her day to day life.

IT IS JUST A MATTER OF ‘ONE FINE DAY’.

What do you think about the idea to get a day off for a married girl.... don’t she deserve that much...??? Your views and opinions are always welcome💝💝

A Silent Girl- Major things i learnt after getting married...!!!

So the story of this girl starts after getting married to the ‘Man of her Dreams’... she was so happy, thats what she all needed, a loving LIFE PARTNER, a caring family... yes, this was her dream too, to get married into a JOINT FAMILY because she was a shy girl. And Since her childhood, she had seen that in movies or in any of her relative’s family that it is so good and fun to be in a Joint family.

Here she is... ADJUSTING, LOVING & CARING.... into her new family. It is rightly said that “It is the new birth of a Girl after her marriage”. A new house, you have to call ‘MUMMA-PAPA’ to someone who are almost strangers to you, new atmosphere, new people and their different mindset, yet she is trying to adjust herself, thinking that she is getting LOVE & AFFECTION from everyone.

Although, this girl was kind of a shy person... she wanted to get much love as she use to give the same to everyone. So one fine day, as it was her BIRTHDAY ( her first birthday in her in-laws),, nobody talked to her properly rather made her birthday, worst birthday of her lifetime, whereas, her loving husband was trying hard to make that day special,, but all in vain.....!!!! She was just expecting love and some attention from her new family, whom she had accepted them with open arms. But everything was in her mind, the reality was very harsh and sad.

From then, everyday, the layers of harshness and praticality were opening up... but she was still quite,, hoping that one day it will get better, that its ok,, they all are her family but it was all in her mind. So the years passed by, but the harshness of her surroundings was getting worst day by day still she was quite but now she was not quite for the reason that one day everything will get alright. But This time the reason was something else,, she did not have the courage to Speak up, not even a single word.

And this HEARTLESS, so called ‘PRACTICAL, EMTIONALESS & SELFISH atmosphere kept on crumpling her... but she did not spoke up cause all her courage,, her voice to take stand was drained out of her.......

What would you do if you will be in that situation.... will you take stand?

May be she could also,, but her morals came infront of her that this is my FAMILY, we are not ENEMIES to fight for its own RIGHT,, let it be..

But TRUST me GOD is watching & KARMA bus always arrives on time💫💫

MENTAL ILLNESS- How to end the Taboo..........

Mental health still has a lot of stigma attached to it and there are a lot of misconceptions about mental illnesses. Have you ever thought about it that how it feels like to have strong tangles in your BRAIN.. have you ever thought about it that how does it feel to have a LUMP in your THROAT.. have you ever experienced the feeling of SHORTNESS OF BREATHE everytime you BREATHE and can’t even swallow the spit.

These are just few examples of DEPRESSION, PANIC ATTACKS and ANXIETY DISORDER. But why in our society MENTAL ILLNESS is still a STIGMA. Why it has become a TABOO??? When PHYSICAL HEALTH is so very important to us that we run to the Doc even if we sneeze or cough, likewise, MENTAL HEALTH is very much crucial and it really needs attention and it needs to be treated too, cause if not, the person who will face the cosequences, will not be the only one whose suffering but people who are related to that particular person will have to suffer too.

Mental health still has a lot of stigma attached to it and their are a lot of misconceptions about mental illnesses. So there are some things, on which we have to focus on.....

1. Talk about it with your close and loved ones.

2. Educate yourself about it and others too.

3. Be conscious of your language while talking to sensitive people, because even your single word can hurt them unintentionally.

4. Encourage equality between physical & mental illness.

5. Be compassionate to those who are suffering mentally. Because nothing is worst than fighting with your own brain.

6. And last but not the least, WORDS matters the most to those who are battling with their own self.Show KINDNESS & CARE to them. That is what they need.

In the end,, i would like to say that i am also facing MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES and trust me nothing is worst than this.. You just start to hate yourself, all you think is you are unworthy of everything, you keep on barbing yourself. And according to my experience, i am living with this thing from so long is only because the stigma about it,

that its just a feeling that will come n go....

But hold on... it comes but never leaves you... It only go away with LOVE, ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, AFFECTION and CARE

So start LOVING and stop JUDGING :)

In today’s time, it is very important to take care of your Physical Health as well as your Mental health .Because if our Mind is not Happy then how can we?? So we should focus on our Mind and Body too. The bottom line is that daily self-care should be a ritual for all of us. Self care is a conscious process to look after all the aspects of ‘THE SELF’. It is about prioritizing yourself, setting the boundaries.Self care plays an amazingly VITAL role in our own Emotional well-being

Drink Water-

It is the most important part of self care, as we drink lots and lots of water, it will automatically show results on our body. First of all, start it as a task but gradually it will become your habit. Water provides so many benefits to our body. So shall we start it from TODAY now....???

particular person. Do not hesitate or feel sorry about it, afterall you are doing it for your own self, who would know you better than yourself.

Prioritising yourself-

Making yourself a Priority is not Selfishness. It only means that, yes.... I care about MYSELF, my CHOICES and my SELF-ESTEEM. Try to come out of that thing that, “What Will People Say”.

Sleep-

Try to set your sleeping pattern. I know these days we have become technology slaves, so it has ruined our sleeping cycle. Sleep not only refreshes our body but will refresh our mind too.

It energises our brain. So Sleep is also an important thing while doing SELF CARE of ourselves.

Exercise-

Exercise not only makes our body strong, it also trains our mind to become strong. It improves our mood and energy in many ways. Moreover, it is totally up to you to choose which exercise you would like to do.
