It was 12 March 2023, an event called All Women Bike Rally was organised in New Delhi on occasion women’s day. NBT a leading newspaper organise it every year. I was among the participants that year. It was a great experience. We reached from where the rally is about to start at sharp 8 am. Get the registration done they gave us some stickers and number to stick to our bikes.
Women from almost every state participated in the rally. We were 2500 in total that year. Women from Border Security Force, women from Delhi Police were also part of this rally. We click pictures, I will share it some of them.

Flowers spread happiness. Just by seeing vibrant colours of flowers our heart bloom. Most of us have plants at home and I am sure some plants must be flowering plants. The happiness of watching a bud bloom into flower is so refreshing and complete. It feels like a reward for our consistent care of the plant. Any nature lover will agree with my words.
Flowers symbolizes freshness, celebration, happiness, colours. We give bouquet of flowers to our loved ones on their special occasions and sometimes to apologies for our mistakes. Flowers canconvey what a gift cannever.
Fresh flowers are used for prayers daily. Another most important benefits of flowers are, it relieves stress and anxiety, it keeps you calm, it heals. Bring home fresh flowers daily at home. Use them for prayers or just to decorate a corner of your room. You will feel the difference. Your eyes will sparkle with joy and your heart will thank you. These little things in life bring happiness not only to you but to your loved ones.
When you are happy you will automatically spread happiness. Where ever you will go, good health and happiness will follow you. I am giving you a task. Let’s do it together. After reading this blog you will go to a nearby florist and buy some flowers for yourself and for the ones you love. Stop sharing photos of flowers and smell the real ones.
We buy and use expensive perfumes made of flowers. I am also very fond of perfumes. Let’s bring home the raw material of a perfume factory home, (flowers).
Our celebrations are incomplete without flowers. Earlier on every birthday celebration I used to buy party popper but from last 2 years I replace it with fresh flowers. It’s more natural and eco friendly. These small changes are not only good for our Environment but also good for our well being.
Flowers give a refreshing feeling and good start to a hectic day. We celebrate the festival of Holi in the month of March in India. It is festival of colours and in many parts of India it is celebrated with flowers. The flowers are used to make natural colours which are used to celebrate holi.
So, what are you waiting for bring home joy, bring home colours, bring home freshness, bring home flowers because ‘Happiness is freshflowers‘.
As we all have entered into new year 2024. 90% of the population of India visit holy place on the first day of new year. Some take holy dip in Ganga some visit temples, gurdwara, church, mosque. To start their year with the blessings of ALMIGHTY.
I also visited to Gurdwara Rakab Ganj Sahib, situated in New Delhi, India on the very first day of the year. To seek the blessings of God. Prayed to God.
How you started your New Year? Where do you visited on first day of Newyear? Do comment.
It’s time to say goodbye to year 2023 and Welcome New Year 2024.
I wish everyone Blessed, Happy and Healthy New Year. May we all have great next year. My resolution for 2024 is to write ✍️🏻 more and more blogs as many as possible. Stay connected.
We all eat healthy or unhealthy food. Without food we cannot survive. Some things harm others heal. Our unhealthy eating leads to many health issues. To prevent this situation we normally go for dieting or hit a gym.
But as seen on social media there are enormous dietitians sharing so much information that this is good that is bad without any scientific reason. That common person gets confused what to do.
Best to do in this situation is stick to homemade food as much as you can. Go for a professional dietitian who can help you through customised diet plan.
I find recommendations of Rujuta Diwekar , famous celebrity dietition very relatable, very easy to follow. When you eat local seasonal and traditional food, you don’t have to do any extra efforts to prepare a meal. Just eat right portion.
When I was under customized guidance of a dietitian. She said it’s not good to have sugar at all. How one can stop having sugar all of a sudden. She said sugar is poison, I don’t agree with her at all. She always suggest so time consuming receipes that it was not practically possible to cook all. We married women have so much more responsibilities to fulfill other than just cooking. Her approach was not practical. She always pin point what’s wrong we did but lack solutions. I sometimes felt that I am talking to a cook and not a dietitian who only have recepies to share.
We gave the power to these type of dietitians to take the lead and we will follow. But what I experienced is you just have to eat local, traditional and seasonal as said by great Rujuta Diwekar. Eat local thinkglobal are her words. Each and everything which she says in her videos are so relatable and easy to follow that I fell in love with her knowledge, personality and the way she convey things in a funny manner.
We only have to eat healthy and there is no need for dieting. When we eat healthy , the benefits which we gain through it is enough to make us fit in every way. Another important thing to do is remain active. Means, excercise regularly at least 4 days a week.
When we change our lifestyle to a healthier one. We start mindful eating, when we eat mindfully we don’t need anyone to tell us what is right for us. Our conscious mind will automatically choose right things only.
400 gms of fruits and vegetables a day are enough fiber for the day. Eat pulses daily it will fulfill the requirement of protein. Avoiding sugar or eating less sugary things will take you to right direction. Your sugar cravings will become less after sometime.
Less fried food is another one challenge we all face towards healthy lifestyle. Health should not be measured in terms of our weight instead it should include our overall health parameters.
As WHO warned about the outbreak of covid variant J N 1 in many countries we should be more careful about our health and should take precautionary measures where it is needed.
1. Avoid Crowded places.
2. Wear mask
3. Use handwash or hand sanitizer.
4. Social Distancing
Weight loss industry will only direct you towards weight loss. They are less concern about your day to day minor illnesses. There are very less players in weightloss industry who are sincere towards their clients and treat them above their monetary interests.
The thunb rule is before joining any of the plan first enroll for the basic plan for sometime. If you find worth it then go for their premium plans.
When I was a kid, I remember how we used to celebrate Christmas in school. We party in our school before winter break and Christmas. We used to collectively decorate our class and Christmas tree. Each class decorated by its students and the best decorated class was awarded best class.
One of our teachers used to became SANTA CLAUSE WITH MANY GIFTS AND SWEETS FOR CHILDREN. Santa Clause used to visit each class and distribute sweets. I feel those Christmas vibes today also when I go to any market or mall. When I see Christmas decorations for sale. It makes me nostalgic and I remember my good old friends who are still in contact through social media. It’s been years we have met but through our messages we always feel close and connected.
Christmas is approaching what are your plans? I am going to celebrate with my family. What about you? The vibrant colours of Christmas, Red, Golden, Green and white always makes my heart shine. The cakes and pastries in the bakery is another reason I love celebrating Christmas.
My son is always excited about Christmas. He decorate Christmas tree every year with great enthusiasm. This year also he is planning to decorate Christmas 🎄. We eat special meal on Christmas.
Christmas brings us more close to next year as it is the last week of the year. Christmas celebrations and vibes continues till 31st Dec. All the shops, malls, hotels and restaurants are seen with Christmas and new year decorations. Santa Clause is ofcourse children favourite.
Delhi, my hometown is coloured in the beauty of Christmas. How you celebrate Christmas ? How it is celebrated in your city? Do answer in comments. Are you also excited for Christmas and new year?
Interesting story of how I got inked. About 4 years back suddenly one day I showed interest to get inked, have a tattoo on my wrist. My husband had a tattoo many years back. I was always against tattoos. I used to say it’s just for show off and the stuff like that.
First thing which I did after decided to get inked is, found a good reliable, experienced tattoo artist. After serching the internet finally found one. I paid 200 bucks at the time of booking my appointment with the tattoo artist.
I was so excited, but at the same time scared. Scared of how much pain I have to bear while going through the process of getting inked and after care. I keep on talking to people who have tattoo on their body. Making me sure that its safe and I don’t have to go through much pain. I was not sure whether I will be going to get tattoo done or not. I started searching for videos of people who got their first tattoo and their experience. Some said there was not much pain others were bothered with pain. I was so confused.
Another important thing is to choose a design which you wish to get inked. Its very difficult to choose. Google will provide you enormous answers and images but you have to choose according to your own preference and choice because it’s your body where the tattoo will remain throughout your lifetime. Choose wisely.
Now the day came, on which I was having appointment with tattoo artist. I didn’t got the courage to go after watching so many videos. Actually I was scared of needles. It gave me enough reason to withdraw my decision of getting tattooed. Another reason was aftercare and risk of having infection.
Internet provide vast information, sometimes we got confused when we get abundance of knowledge. What to do. My 200 bucks got wasted. I gave so many reasons not to get inked.
Another year passed. Again I got interested to get inked. This time I didn’t watched any video but searched for which design will be good as my first tattoo. Again paid 200 bucks to the same tattoo artist for booking appointment. This time I ask him I paid you last year 200 bucks will it be adjusted when getting a tattoo from you. He said yes it will be adjusted in final payment. I was thrilled. This time it was not pain which stopped me to get inked. It was the fear of after care, risk of infection which stopped me to get inked.
Now 400 bucks got wasted. In year 2022 I started my weight loss journey which gave me strength. I feel better. More healthy more strong 💪. I keep questioning myself why I didn’t have the courage to get inked. This year definitely I will get a tattoo on my wrist.
This time I choose another experienced tattoo artist with 15 years of experience. Booked an appointment for Sunday but can’t wait and had my tattoo done on Thursday itself. This time I was sure. It was a great experience. My husband went with me to the tattoo studio. I was holding his hand all the time while going through the process and pain. My tattoo was done by THE TATTOO SHOP, NEW DELHI, INDIA. The ambience was so nice and hygienic. They use new imported needle for my tattoo. Kept me motivated with kind words. Light music was playing. I really enjoyed, it took 30 min to tattoo get done. Before that, we took 15 min to choose the design. The Tattoo artist tell me about the aftercare. I have to be careful for 30 days.
I got my first tattoo on 21 Sep, 2023. Yeh!! So happy.
