A challenging year- 2019

2019, how did the year even pass? Wonder if I was even breathing !

Uff..what a challenging year it was, started the year with memories of mom and her first anniversary.

My child graduating high school, reality hit me hard. I am going to miss a good friend, laughter, gossip and my foodie partner. It was a tough phase to accept her graduating and migrating but loved the maturity and the way she handled the new environment.

To all mom's the little ones remain little forever, again it was transition period for me and her. She needed to take over what her elder sister did and at the same time remain my little ,monster. Life teaches you wonders when you are not even expecting it. She makes me wonder who the mum is! She is not little anymore.

Another jolt was when a dear friend moved back home, it was not easy to cope the void. I was worried if my travel diaries will get empty. Well, it is definitely not, we are in the best of spirits at all times.

Whether it was boredom or challenge, I decided to love myself ! of course when you have sisters who motivate and spread positive vibes its obvious to take it up as a challenge. Focus on diet, long walks, working out with gym mates, a new perspective on yoga... shaping up turned up to be interesting and exciting seeing the changes.

Festivals were not so much fun, had to keep my eyes off the sweets and savouries! However nothing stopped  Dad from sending his love,yeah kilograms of calorie filled goodies. And all his love couldn't stop me from trvaelling to see him! 

When sisters meet its always so much fun, but this time it was some serious planning ; Dad turned 80! Tremendous amount of planning and executing. Each one of us had a role to play and we did it happily. It was a great day with celebrities, dignitaries, friends and family. The decor to catering was exclusive , something mom would have loved to witness!   

Even before we stopped rejoicing the series of events of 2019 it was 2020 and another chapter began!

My Sunshine...


You are my sunshine
You are mine

Live a little more involved
Pray a little more loud 

Remarkable is your obedience
Remarks are on your laziness

Pull up your head longer
Push up your health stronger

Remember you are my hope
Learn to accept and cope

Standout as an example
Scope is always in ample

You are my moonlight
You are my guiding light ðŸ’•

My Child ! My Pride!


When the world doubted me
I wanted to run and flee
When the family questioned me
I wanted to ask for plea
When the love of my life didn’t see me
I wanted to kill my self in the sea

When the almighty decided to change my life
I wondered how it will change my sight
When I knew I had another soul growing
I felt the happiness in me overflowing
When I saw those little eyes gleaming
I knew my life was going to be beaming

When I named you Manasvini
I knew and saw you winning
When I saw you growing
I knew my mother was not going
When I see you now
I know there is something low
When you need me more
I know you are going to be home

When someone asked me what’s my pride
I didn’t doubt it’s none other than my child
When someone asked me to check on you
I didn’t doubt because it’s my child
When someone asked me if I needed help
I didn’t ask for as I have my pride, my joy, my belief, my child!!
