My son decorated the Christmas 🎄 tree.

It was 28th Sep, 2024, Saturday. We went out for whole day after a long time. First we went to Gurdwara Bangla Sahib, New Delhi, India. Then went for shopping at Connaught Place had lunch there.
Then headed towards me and my son’s favourite mall, Pacific mall. It was something special today.
Mela Mela Anime Japan, an exhibition full of colours. Japenese music, Japanese food, Japanese people. A lady was writing everyone’s name in Japanese Calligraphy for free. There were so many Japanese companies showcasing their products, technology. Stalls were there providing information about how to travel to Japan, stalls providing Japanese language course. Cosmetics, everything Japanese. Japenese food stalls.
All in all I felt like I am in Japan.
So thrilled, so happy loved the violin 🎻 performance, piano performance, food. We got our names written in Japanese.
Food, music brings us all together, sometimes we don’t understand other’s language, but it’s okay. Happiness is what matters. We Delhiites, Indians were happy to see all the Japanese and I am sure they were also happy to see how we enjoyed their music, food and everything.
Great day to be remembered forever. I am sure other countries will also come to exhibit their culture soon in Delhi, India. I remember when I was a kid we went to an auditorium near India gate, there was a show from other country. I had foggy memories because I was too small then.
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.
The event started with some music and dance. The stage was set for all the women to perform. After the musical dance performances the women were given recognisition who have done something for women empowerment.
At 10 am rally started. Our honourable President of India Ms. Droupadi Murmu virtually gave a flag off and famous bollywood actor Ms. Saniya Malhotra, gave us a flag off. It was a ten kilometre ride. I enjoyed every bit of it. We reached to the end of rally in about 45 min. After the rally there were more performances lined up. Everyone was dancing, enjoying and celebrating womanhood. A women aged 75 years was also part of the rally. To see the enthusiasm of everyone, I was so inspired that I decided every year I will participate in this women bike rally and celebrate womanhood with them. HAPPY TO BE PART OF WOMEN BIKE RALLY.
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.
