Growing your own food


I think growing your own food is one of the easiest and most rewarding ways you can contribute to mother earth.

It helps you become healthy by consuming no pesticide , chemical stimulants.
It Makes your body fitter and mind calmer.
It adds beauty to your small balcony or terrace.
It saves money and gives a direction of life if pursued more seriously.

On a higher note it helps you connect to earth , from which one has come and to which one will get mixed with one day.

On a lighter note , it makes your kid know vegetables by names before the age of 2 and prompt them to eat them too.

lazy afternoon naps

Stretch a bit ,feel your tummy full , switch off the TV, snuggle in to the mattress, take a light bed sheet, turn to side and close your eyes for that lazy afternoon nap. Afternoon naps - the bargained thing for the pay cheque are the best way to relax your body and soul. A hour nap energises the body more than the sleep of 8 hours at night. Look around - all will be doing the same be it a hawker spread over like a log on his hand trolley or street dogs taking few winks in shade . Kids also disappear during this time of the day to return back to streets with more vigour. Enough - Got to get back to work , Boss calling ! office goers need to wait till the life clock strikes 60 .

At my own pace

I laze and relax, I wonder and ponder my mind thought ...... about the things that my brain couldn't sought and my heart assured me that my soul is free ...its not caught. I tasted the sea and the droplets of rain I felt the satin and tattered clothes covering the pain Felt the heat of concrete high rise mansions And swayed to sleep under the thatched roof built of passion Some complained of having plenty Some rejoiced when their plates were not empty I pitied the happiness and the thing which made me laugh was the sadness I am neither cheerful nor poignant , Neither hollow nor expectant, They label me a loser, incapable of winning the race Isn't it ? In the end.... winners and losers will mix with the ether leaving no trace Till then I let my body laze and relax......... Let my soul wonder and ponder.........

वहाँ मत जाओ - वहाँ भूत है । खाना नही खाओ गी तो - राक्षस पकड़ कर ले जाएगा । रात को जो बच्चे नही सोते उन्हें - पुलिस ले जाती हैं। किस किस तरह से सब ने मुझे बुद्धू बनाया , और आज मैं भी बच्चो को इस ही तरह से बेवकूफ बनाती हू । मुझे आज भी याद हैं , जब मैं हर रात एक चिट्टी लिख कर अपने घर की बालकनी मैं रखती थी । मेरा यह विश्वास था की परी आ कर वह चिट्टी ले जायेगी और मुझे जो भी चाहिए वो मेरे लिए रख जाएँगी। २४ दिसम्बर की रात मैं अपनी सारी सोक्क्स और स्तोक्किंग धो कर रस्सी से लटका देती थी । christamas के दिन उसमे एक डेरी मिल्क चोकोलेट , हेयर क्लिप, पेंसिल , शर्प्नेर और एक संता क्लाउस की लिखी चिट्टी पाती थी । उस चिट्टी मैं मुझे संता क्लाउस - एक अच्छी बच्ची बनने के लिए कहता , हर सुब्जेक्ट मैं आए मार्क्स के बारें में जिक्र होता , गणित में ध्यान देने को कहता । में यह सोच हर हेरान हो जाती की किस तरह संता क्लाउस मेरे बारें में इतना कुछ जानता हैं । पर chocolate का स्वाद इस प्रश्न को भुला देता। एक क्रिसमस की सुबह मेरी नींद अचानक खुल गई और मैंने मम्मी को मेरे सिरहाने बेंठ्कर चिट्टी लिखते देखा , तुरंत मैं सम...
